10 - spices and tears
«3rd person's POV»
It took exactly two seconds after closing the door for Todoroki to realise that he didn't know Bakugo's dorm room number.
'Shit'
He mumbled as he quickly took out his phone to ask the blond. When he was about to type, he paused.
He never started any conversation. It was always Bakugo. So starting a conversation seemed kinda weird to him. Not to mention the only two times he started a conversation, it ended with them getting punishments or emotional talks.
Todoroki groaned as he scrolled through their past conversations, hoping for any clue where his friend's room might be. He suddenly saw a text where Bakugo wrote that Todoroki's dorm room was the one exactly above his.
He quickly shoved his phone back in his pocket with a slight grin. That information is enough.
Todoroki knocked on the door calmly when he arrived. He expected to be met with an angry explosive blond when the door opens.
But instead he was met with a confused Bakugo in an apron, looking like a pro chef. A smell of something extremely delicious also slapped his face.
"The fuck are you here now? I told you to come at 8." Bakugo growled as he held the spatula with his right hand while the other rested on his hips.
"Geez. Okay I'll come back later." Todoroki was about to turn around and leave when Bakugo pulled him in by the collar of his shirt and closed the door.
"I didn't tell you to fucking leave, did I?"
Todoroki held a light chuckle from escaping his mouth. "Well you kinda sounded like you weren't happy with me being a bit early."
Bakugo hissed a "shut up" at him and went back to the mini kitchen in the room.
Todoroki took a moment to admire the room. It was really clean. Like literally every shelf on the bookshelf was spotless. The room was well organized even tho it didn't have any furnitures. A mini kitchen was squeezed into the room. Todoroki guessed that Bakugo cooked often. That explained why he didn't show up in the cafeteria much. Todoroki looked around, there wasn't any kind of dirt of messiness in his room. It was kind of mesmerizing how such a person like Bakugo could be so organizing, clean and most importantly, a great cook.
Bakugo noticed Todoroki roaming around his room. So he warned his friend with
"Hey don't fuck around my room." To which Todoroki replied with a shrug.
Todoroki finally gathered his attention on the blond who was cooking attentively.
"What are you making?"
"Tantanmen" Bakugo grinned.
so that's what smelled that good. I wonder how it will taste.
Todoroki thought as he stared at Bakugo as he poured some of the chili oil. It's only then when it ticked him.
"Wait," Todoroki said. "Isn't tantanmen a spicy ramen?"
"Yeah." Bakugo looked behind from his back. "What? Not a fond of spice?"
"I'm more of a soba person. I guess I never really tried that much spice."
"Tch. Well you're gonna try spice tonight. Sit down on the couch or chair or wheverever you like."
Bakugo said. Eternally figuring out how a person could eat cold noodles and live on it for days. He had seen Todoroki eating cold soba often so he one day tried it too. The result wasn't very pleasing, noodles without much spice really wasn't his thing. On top of that, the noodles were cold. And Bakugo was positive his tongue was used to hot, freshly cooked spicy ramen noodles. He guessed everyone didn't have same tastes.
Todoroki sat himself on the comfy couch. He didn't really know what to do. Back in this dorm he was done with his homework for the day and was wondering what to do when he thought of coming a bit earlier and hangout with bakugo.
Hangout with Bakugo?
Todoroki himself didn't know why the idea of spending time with a specific blond boy suddenly popped in his head. But since it did, he didn't think much of it and made his way to said boy's dorm room. But now that he was there, he didn't really know it made any difference than staying in his own dorm. Maybe it was just for time pass?
Nonetheless, he definitely felt less lonlier. And he was certain the blond felt the same too. It was a feeling that let him know that he had someone in the same room as him, breathing in the same air as him. And for some reason that feeling made him happy.
He took out his phone to entertain himself since he didn't want to disturb chef Baku. He scrolled through the conversation he had with Bakugo for the past few days. To his surprise, he noticed how much he had been chatting with the blond boy. Chatting and socializing were never his thing. He would always lock himself up in a corner and pretend nothing mattered. He would never interact with another person and be friendly with them. That's what he promised to himself before entering UA. But here he was, chatting with a classmate of his and actually enjoying it. He was definitely getting fond of the boy in front of him and was ready to accept him, trust him, open up to him.
The effort that Bakugo was putting into cooking was priceless. He didn't need some professional to tell him that he was a decent cook. But now that a certain hetero chromatic boy was in his room, waiting to taste his food, it was different. Todoroki was actually looking up to the food he was making. Nonetheless he even complemented it. And that made this cooking seem like a challenge for him. He actually wanted his talent to be recognized more by the half white and half crimson haired guy.
So he put his all in it. He even decreased the amount of spice he was planning to use a bit just because his friend there didn't like spices. Just a bit. But he managed to keep the taste correct. It was perfect.
After serving the noodles in two plates, he finally set his attention towards his guest. Todoroki on the other hand wasn't doing anything but scrolling through the conversations he and the blond had. Somewhat amused of how their relationship has developed in a few days, he didn't realise the dish was ready for being eating. That is, until Bakugo couched a bit a let him know.
"Excuse me your highness but your food is ready" he mocked.
Todoroki gathered his attention from his phone and put it on the two plates in front of him. The smell itself was enough to make his hunger twist.
Yeah. He was really looking forward to this.
"Thank you, Bakugo" Todoroki thanked the blond male and he took one plate and chopsticks. He waited for Bakugo to have the first bite with him. But Bakugo insisted todoroki to take the first bite since he wanted to know if the taste appealed to him.
But mostly he wanted to see how the halfie would react to the amount of spices he added. It wasn't much for him, but he was sure it was a bit more than tolerance for Todoroki.
"Oh my-" Todoroki widened his eyes as he threw his hands around to spot a glass of water.
"Pfft." Bakugo held back a laughter, handing him a glass of water. He somewhat guessed how this would turn out, so he already prepared it.
After Todoroki chugged down the water his tongue came out of his mouth, breathing heavily.
"Guess I'm really not used to spice haha" Todoroki said as he still had his tongue out. "Sorry."
"Nah I was looking for that reaction." Bakugo snickered. But this time his eyes widened when he saw Todoroki taking another bite of the noodles. "Hey, what the fuck are you doing?"
Todoroki slurped the noodles and looked at him. "What?"
"That's too fucking spicy for you. How are you still eating that?"
"I mean." Todoroki shifted his weight. "It still tastes good."
Bakugo was kind of taken aback. He expected Todoroki to ask for something less spicy. Expecting that, he had already prepared the leftovers from yesterday. But to his surprise, todoroki kept slurping the noodles until the plate was empty. By then he had chugged down 3 full glasses of water, but he asked Bakugo to hand him another plate of noodles. And all Bakugo could do was stand there and say 'what the fuck'.
Handing Todoroki the refilled plate, he also sat down to eat his, by then cold, meal. He slurped the noodles and watched todoroki doing the same. Only slurping sounds were heard.
"It's my dad's fault." Todoroki suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Bakugo looked up at the other male.
"My mom's in the hospital because of my dad."
