(Sweetness in the rain)

Bakugo shoved his hands in his pocket. It was cold and he was soaking wet.

Why the fuck did it have to rain so much? It had been pretty much nonstop since he left the dorms.

He was about to turn the corner when he noticed a boy sitting on a bench in the rain. He looked to be the same age as him.

"Oi weirdo what are you doing in the rain? Your gonna get sick!" Suddenly the boy on the bench looked at him.

Bakugo was taken aback. This boy had a large scar over his face as well as multi colored eyes and hair.

Some how adding all that together made him look gorgeous.

"I like the rain it smells sweet don't you think?"

The boys voice was deep but soft as well. He sounded genuinely happy to be soaking wet on a bench.

"Yeah...I guess...still your soaked and your gonna get sick. You got a place to go or is this it?" Bakugo gestured to the bench as if the boy might be homeless.

"I have a place...but it's not a place to go. I don't want to be there. So I'd rather stay here."

Bakugo had no idea what the hell that meant but he assumed it was nothing good.

"Fucking...okay here you can stay the night where I live. Get dry then you gotta head back to your house got it?"

The boy looked surprised for a second then nodded. "Thank you."

"Yeah whatever. By the way my names Katsuki Bakugo. I live in a dorm I hope you don't mind tight spaces."

"Not at all. My names Shoto  Todoroki. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Tsk" was all Bakugo had to say. They walked in silence for most of the time barely even looking at each other.

Bakugo seemed mildly uncomfortable while Todoroki didn't even seem the tiniest bit awkward.

As they stopped to wait for a cross walk Bakugo noticed Todoroki had scars everywhere most looked to be burns.

He also noticed how the boy looked at the rain like it was the safest place to be.

*Time skip*

"Alright here" Bakugo chucked a towel at the boy who easily caught it and started to dry off.

"After your dry I have clean clothes in there." Bakugo pointed to his closet. "You can change in the rest room."

Todoroki nodded as he dried his hair. He picked out some of Bakugos clothes and then went into the bathroom to change.

While Todoroki was changing he started wondering why this guy would let him stay.

He truly had no reason to. Maybe he was just that nice? Even though he seemed to have a sour attitude.

Todoroki opened the door of the bathroom. "Thankyou. I suppose I should sleep on the floor."

"Nah it's fine sleep on the bed. By the way where'd you get those scars from?"

Todoroki sat on the bed sighing. "From my father. That's why I don't want to go home. Why I stay in the rain. He has a fire quirk so he can't hurt me if I'm surrounded by water."

Bakugo suddenly felt guilty. "Jesus that's fucked up...I guess you can stay here for a while. I got classes though."

"No thank you. I've already become a burden. Plus if I'm gone to long he might hurt one of my siblings. I could never forgive myself if that happened."

Bakugo nodded. "We should get to bed. It's getting dark." It wasn't really that late but he had nothing else to say so it worked.

Todoroki gave a subtle nod as he laid down in Bakugos bed coving up. It smelled like caramel which made him smile.

Soon they were both sleeping soundly. One on the floor that honestly wasn't that comfy, and one on the bed who seemed to be having a bad dream.

*Yet another time skip.*

Bakugo woke up to the sound of soft sobs. He sat up rubbing his eyes. He glanced at his desk clock.

4 am. What the fuck? Who was crying...he paused and got onto his knees looking at the person in his bed.

There was tears dripping down his face and the pillow was wet with the salty water.

"Hey. Oi you wake up." Bakugo shook Todoroki for a second. Nothing...so he shook harder. "Wake up!"

The boy jolted up right wide eyed looking terrified. He was trembling.

"Hey hey woah calm down it's okay. Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. Your just crying a shit ton so I figured I'd wake you up."

Todoroki shivered and nodded thankful to be awake after such a nightmare.

They sat there saying nothing in the darkness.

Suddenly Bakugo felt a weight on his shoulder. He looked at it to see Todoroki laying on him comfortably.

He was about to protest when he realized the boy next to him had stopped trembling.

Todoroki cuddled up to Bakugo feeling better as he did so. Maybe he would stay here...with him. He felt...protected here.

Slowly but surely Todoroki fell back to sleep on Bakugos shoulder.

Once Bakugo knew for sure he was asleep he laid Todoroki back down on his bed and covered him. He sat awake on floor just in case the boy had another nightmare.

Maybe the rain wasn't so bad after all...
