8 - trust?

<3rd person's POV>

After hanging up with Midoriya, Todoroki nervously looked up to Bakugo's eyes. He did not want the ash blond to ask him further more questions.

Bakugo on the other hand was really curious. But when he saw the displeasure in the other's eyes, he stopped. He was not trustworthy enough, huh?

Bakugo sighed and sat on the chair. He had a purpose when he first came to his friend's dorm room. but now that his friend was perfectly in shape, he didn't know what to do. So he just casually flipped through the pages of the halfie's notebook to which the other groaned a bit.

"Uhh" Todoroki started. "Would you like to like, have some tea?"

Todoroki didn't usually have guests around. To think of it, maybe Bakugo was the only person he let inside him dorm room. Sure Midoriya and the others would come often, but that was just for inviting him for lunch and such. He never had to invite them inside. Thus, he never knew how to properly treat a guest. Now that Bakugo was there, in his room, bored and flipping through his notebook, Todoroki didn't know what to offer or how to entertain the other male. So he just offered a cup of tea and waited for his guest's respond.

Bakugo looked at Todoroki with disbelief.

"Do I look like some old hag to you?"

"Excuse me?"

"Who offers a fucking teenager tea!?"

Todoroki showly nodded like he understood what was wrong with offering a teen a cup of tea. but he didn't.

"So, some other food? Coffee?"

Bakugo snorted. "Pretty sure your richass can't cook. But coffee would be fine, I guess."

Todoroki nodded and went to a cupboard which was hanging on the wall. He took out the jar of coffee beans and started to make two cups of coffee.

Bakugo on the other hand, started cleaning his room again. To him, it was so messy that his hands were trembling to clean just a little bit. By the time Todoroki had finished making the coffees, Bakugo was working on his nightstand.

"Why the fuck do you have so many medicines and ointments?" Bakugo chimmed as he held up a plastic bag of medicines.

Todoroki didn't like Bakugo to go through his stuff. He just gave a cold glare with a response of "I would like it if you don't go through my personal stuffs, please."

Bakugo took the hint and quickly put the bag inside the nightstand drawer, scoffing in the progress. He didn't know he was that unreliable. And to be very honest, he was kind of hurt that the person he considered his only friend didn't trust him to open up. He wanted Todoroki to trust him, tell him everything but he didn't push it. He knew better than pushing his limits.

Bakugo took the cup from Todoroki's hands and sat on the chair while Todoroki Sat on the bed. Taking a sip of coffee, Todoroki decided to ask a question he was wondering for a few days, but didn't know how go ask through texts.

"So," the halfie started. "Why did you suddenly think of befriending me?"

Bakugo gulped the coffee he took in his mouth and looked at the other male.

"You just looked like you would make a good friend." He shrugged.

That wasn't the truth.

And Todoroki sensed that too.

"Youre not telling the truth Bakugo" Todoroki tilted his head. "What is it?"

Bakugo scoffed.
"You won't tell me what those damn ointments are for and you expect to tell me my reason for befriending you? Dream on half n half."

"Those ointments have nothing to do with you. But you befriending me involves me myself."

Bakugo couldn't argue against that logic. So he just sighed and looked down.

"what happened to Kirishima and Kaminari? I thought they were your friends?" Todoroki continued his questions and Bakugo got pissed at the mention of the duo.

"Shitty hair and electric dunce face are nothing but fucking two faced snakes." Bakugo started as he again regretted to befriend them. "They act like we're fucking 'besties' when I'm reality, they just spread shit about me." Bakugo air quoted the 'besties' word.

Todoroki was confused. Two faced snakes? Kirishima and Kaminari? It certainly didn't make any sense to him. Last time he remembered, Bakugo was laughing with the KiriKami duo. What had changed in such a short amount of time?

"But you guys seemed to have a very pure friendship? I'm sorry but I'm confused."

"We used to" Bakugo rolled his eyes. "I trusted them with my secrets but they just went around spouting shit to people."

Todoroki didn't remember anything bad about the blond male going around in his classroom. Now that could also be because he didn't pay much heed to the rumors around him.

Bakugo continued.
"But you seemed to care less about those shits about me. Everyone had their back turned against me, and I needed someone by my side. You were the only option left for me." He said.

"So.. you chose to befriend me because you had no choice? It's like friends with benefits, right?"

Bakugo looked away from the piercing glare todoroki was giving him.

"... I also kinda wanted know you better since the begining but never knew how to approach you. Specially after blasting you in you know.. the sports festival. You always looked like a serious student who didn't have any interest in society so I never got to know you. But I guess after I started ignoring them, you looked more approachable and stuff."

Todoroki's eyes soften when he heard those. Sure, he didn't want to make friends here. But was he really not approachable?

"And after befriending you' you seemed loyal and well, reliable I guess." Bakugo looked down to hide the embarrassment in his face. He didn't talk shit like this to anybody, not to even himself. But here he was, uttering all these words from his mouth in front of Todoroki. Damn, he was screwed

"And do you think I'm helping? Am I even an enjoyable companion?"

Todoroki said, causing Bakugo to look up.

He did not want to go all soft mode over this bubbly boy.

"The fuck? Are you deaf? I already said you're helping out a lot. I'm out of the, possibly, depression I was going through after being betrayed by those fuckers. So don't you ever think you're not worth a damn friend." Bakugo said that all in one breathe. "Also, try to trust me a little more. And try adding some more words or even maybe emojis in your dictionary. That would help."

Before Todoroki could answer, Bakugo took the plastic bowl and opened the door which connected the hallways and his dorm room.

"See Ya, Icyhot" Bakugo said before slamming the door close.

Todoroki just stayed there, sitting on his bed and thinking whatever Bakugo just said. Trust Bakugo?

He for some reason, wanted to trust the ash blond. He didn't know why. Was he finally seeing Bakugo as a friend?

Todoroki sighed and took out his phone. He went to Google and tried learning about the emojis that were in his phone, unused and some more cool words to add in his dictionary.
