" OKAY... I SUPPOSE, FUCK L/N, "

ᝰ

the next few days were rather uneventful for todoroki, and eventually he assumed he was completely overreacting about his kiss with you. it was as everyone said, it was just a game, a silly kiss and nothing would come of it ( though, kaminari and shinsou did have a thing going on afterwards ), and he stopped worrying about it.

that's when his second dilemma in this story came about. he received a text from midoriya, asking if he wanted to train with him and shinsou on a regular tuesday evening. of course he accepted, never missing out on a day of improvement or time to spend with his friends.

so he hopped from his bed, texting midoriya back as he made his way to the common room of he dorms and- "fuck ei, marry ei, kill the other extras."

todoroki looked up from his phone in interest at the conversation taking place; the bakusquad and a few other classmates lounging around. some were studying, others were on their phones, and it seemed the rest were huddled playing a game— which was what todoroki had walked in on.

"dude, you can't kill two people at once," mina pouted, folding her arms over her chest. "that's not how the came works and it's what makes the decisions so hard! you're supposed to—"

"like i give a fuck," the blond rolled his eyes and nodded to kaminari, "dunce face, you go: eye bags, round face, and soy sauce."

kaminari grinned and rubbed his hands together, "aurgh this is so hard-! okay- fuck shinsou- because i have and it's great," luckily, the purple haired insomniac wasn't in the room so there was no backlash at the statement. "marry sero 'cause spending the rest of my life with my best friend sounds awesome, and- sorry- kill uraraka!"

"why do you guys keep sleeping on ochaco?" jirou yawned. "she's literally the ideal wife. okay, l/n, you go: hm... todoroki, bakugou... and me." she winked.

you laughed as you got comfortable, a curious hum rumbling through your chest. todoroki was also interested, especially at the mention of his name in this strange game that was being played. he tilted his head, watching as you squinted in deep thought.

"okay... fuck todoroki, marry you, and kill bakugou,"

todoroki most certainly perked up in interest at those words, stepping completely into view and hoping to get a better understanding of whatever was happening.

"oh wow- i'm flattered," jirou smiled, pushing her shoulder against yours playfully, "but do you and todoroki have a thing going on or something?"

"what?" you raised a brow and rolled your eyes in exasperation, "no, it's nothing like that, please."

"hey, watch it," bakugou grumbled. "she just got out of that cheesy relationship with that dumb nerd. she's sensitive," despite his words and mockery, you somehow knew bakugou really was looking out for you, shooting him an appreciative glance that he chose to ignore.

"she was just joking," kaminari smiled with a careless shoulder shrug, "besides, it's all hypothetical,"

"did ya just learn that word today, idiot?" bakugou rolled his eyes and kaminari's face flushed.

"ooh well, speaking of..." jirou turned her head to stare at todoroki with a knowing grin. "regardless, how about you go then, todoroki? fuck, marry, kill: l/n, kaminari, and bakugou."

"oh my god," you slapped your hands over your face with a groan as jirou smirked.

"thats the game you guys are playing?" todoroki pocketed his phone, full attention to the group on the couch. "okay... i suppose, fuck l/n, marry bakugou, and kill kaminari," he shrugged, seemingly satisfied with his own answer.

"wait- kill me?" kaminari gestured toward himself, raising his brows. "impossible- i'll have you know i'm amazing at f—"

"fucking marry me, icyhot? what the f—"

"fuck... me?"

"well," todoroki looked at kaminari, "the other options were taken so i had no choice but to kill you. bakugou, besides the fact that i used to have a small thing for you," everyone in the room choked as bakugou was unable to form a coherent sentence. "you make good food so that's a good quality for a life long partner for me..."

"and me?" you raised a brow in interest.

todoroki shrugged, the smallest smile pulling at the corner of his lips. "it's an interesting thought." you blinked a few times, attempting to sputter out your response, cheeks heating as you tried ignoring the teasing jirou was putting you through. todoroki frowned curiosly, "is it that suprsing? you said it first..."

todoroki didn't know if he really liked the direction this conversation was headed. it felt very wrong to be speaking to you like that even if it was just hypothetical.

because what if it actually wasn't? no.

it was hypothetical. he would never— ever even think of doing anything remotely romantic or sexual with you ever. that would be betraying midoriya.

"well, yeah, obviously i did. i mean if you're an option, practically everyone says the same thing. you're you."

"and you're you," todoroki couldn't stop himself from saying, fist squeezing in his lap as he tilted his chin upward in thought, deciding to just finish it out. "so our reasoning is very similar, there shouldn't be any kind of shock..."

just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket. his eyes slightly widened for a split second, "i just remembered i'm meeting midoriya for training," he stood from his seat, pulling his phone from his pocket and making quick strides in the other direction.

he wanted the thoughts to shut up. could he somehow make his own head-voice mute? it was pretty impossible, seeing as how the head voice was always they same volume, whether you were whispering or shouting in your mind— still.

todoroki gently shook his head, forcing away the evil and looked ahead for a smiling midoriya.
