Summary: It's New Years Eve. Bakugou and Todoroki decide to celebrate together.

Bakugou didn’t care much for winter holidays. 

There were some good things that came out of them. Having classes off was always nice, and he’d be a liar if he thought Eri in her little Santa outfit wasn’t the cutest thing in the world. 

He also liked eating; the food was always good- especially Shoto’s sister’s cooking. He had a whole new list of recipes to bribe out of her next time he visited the Todoroki household. Besides that though- he didn’t care much for it all.

What he did look forward to however was New Years. Especially fireworks.

How he loved fireworks.

“Come on, Icy-hot! It’s not even that cold up here!” Bakugou called behind him, pushing the roof door open with a shiver. Okay-maybe it was cold up there, but whatever. “We’re gonna miss them if you don’t hurry up!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming! Why are you in such a rush- they always go off exactly at midnight.” Todoroki reminded him as he came into view, arms full of things. “We’ve got at least half an hour.”

“Half an hour my ass- you know time moves differently in the dorms!” There were so many people to navigate past, not to mention the stairs they had to climb. If they left too late, they’d miss the show. “Here- I’ll take some of that.”

“Did you forget your arms are already full? Go ahead- I’m fine.” Todoroki caught the door with his hip, shivering as the wind cut through his jacket. “Not that cold my butt.”

Soon they were set up- a warm blanket spread beneath them with another thrown on top of their laps. A thermos hot chocolate sat nearby, two mugs filled to the brim with marshmallows and cream steaming in their gloveless hands. Todoroki made it a point to sit on Bakugou’s right, his left side acting as an impromptu furnace to keep them toasty. They were ready to go- now was the hard part. Waiting.

“Are you warm enough?” Todoroki asked after a few minutes, seeing Bakugou shiver. He leaned in closer, pressing their shoulders together. “Let me know if you need more heat.”

“I’m fine- ugh, why do they drag it out? It’s the best part of the freaking year!” He tapped his fingers impatiently against his mug, watching the sky for any sign of light. It was only then he felt the shoulder against him shaking. “What?” Bakugou asked, narrowing his eyes at the growing smile on his boyfriend’s lips. “What is it?”

“Nothing- truly. I just think it’s cute how excited you get over things like this.” Todoroki grinned, watching Bakugou blush. “It’s sweet- you’re like a little kid.”

“Bah, what do you know?” Bakugou huffed and turned away, a clear pout forming on his lips. Todoroki chuckled around his mug, taking a sip before putting his and Bakugou’s aside. He wrapped an arm around him again when he started to shiver. “I’m not some brat..”

“I know you’re not. You’re an amazing hero who actual kids look up to and admire. When we reach Pro and you make your official debut, you’re gonna have tons of fans.” He kissed Bakugou’s chilled cheek, feeling it twitched with a restrained smile. “Of course, I’ll be your number one.”

“You’re gonna pull a Deku and collect all my merch?” He asked, laughing some when Todoroki nuzzled his neck and ears with his chilled nose.

“Sure. I’ll have a whole museum dedicated to you and your merch.” He gently poked him, feeling Bakugou twitch. “Wall to wall, floor to ceiling of your face for all to see. Historians will find it after we’re gone and wonder to themselves: “Just who is this handsome man?”, and I’ll rise from the dead and go “He’s mine- back off!””

“Ghe-ehahahahahhaa, thahaht’s so creheheheheepy!” Bakugou laughed, falling into Todoroki’s chest as he swatted at the hands tickling him. “I’ihihihll bloohohow it ahahah up behehefore I dihihie. I whahahant yoohohou to stahhahay dead wihihihth mehehehe!”

“Erasing yourself from the narrative, huh? I’ll have to invest in explosive-proof walls.” He snickered alongside the blonde’s giggle fits, his touch incredibly light as not to draw anyone’s attention to them. Call it what you want, but he liked having Bakugou all to himself in these moments. “Maybe I’ll have it built in the clouds, or on the ocean floor. You’ll be really popular among the mermaids.”

“Thohohohose fihihihsh cahahan suhuhuck it!” Bakugou cackled, feeling ticklish from both Todoroki’s touch and the insane thought. Late hours sure knew how to bring the silly out of them. “Oohohohonly yohohohou geheheht me, yohohou here? Ihiihhih’m yoohohhours!”

Todoroki sucked in a breath, pausing his tickles. “Say it again.”

“Whahaht?” Bakugou blinked, confused. “Ihi’m yours?” Then he went bright red, covering his face with his hands. “Gahha! N-No, don’t fucking lohohok at me like thahaht!”

Todoroki was just as red, his heart racing a mile a minute. Such simple words, but they meant the world to him. “Like what?” He leaned down, gently pawing at Bakugou’s hands until he could meet his eye. “Tell me, Kats. How am I looking at you?”

“Shoto..” Bakugou knew where this was going. A part of him wanted to hide away knowing how his emotions would so easily show on his face. Another part of him wanted Todoroki to just say it already.

“Look at you..like I love you? Cause I do. You’re my whole world. The night sky and the stars above.” He leaned down and kissed Bakugou’s brow, smiling against it. “I’m so forever grateful to have you in my life.”

“Ugh, you’re so fucking sappy!” Bakugou growled, earning a laugh. He looked up at the moon for a moment, finding the courage to say what he wanted- no, needed to say. “I love you too. If I’m your night sky, you’re the sun that comes over the horizon. You make my path in life bright when I need it most. You make me so damn happy, even when you’re being annoying about it.” Todoroki let out a wet laugh at that, kissing his brow again. “Now stop kissing my face and kiss my lips already, you half-and-half bastard.”

“So swoonworthy.” Todoroki did as requested, kissing him fully. His lips tasted of cocoa and marshmallows. He smelled like winter air and firewood at the same time. Bakugou nearly lost himself entirely to such a simple but soothing gesture.

The familiar whistle cut through the air when they pulled apart. Bakugou practically sprinted out of Todoroki’s lap and to the roof fence as the sky exploded. “Look! Shoto, look, it’s happening!”

The sky was a rainbow of shimmers, fireworks popping above them in a breathtaking lightshow. Bakugou leaned against the roof’s edge, standing on his toes and breathing in the smoke-tinged air. If he stretched his hand out, he swore he could touch them- grab them in his hands like falling stars.

A warm hand brushed against his, and he made short work collecting it- intertwining their fingers. Forget falling stars- he was holding the brightest one of all now.  “It really is beautiful.” Todoroki breathed beside him, just as awestruck. Bakugou let out a laugh as he leaned into his boyfriend, watching the twinkling flames dance.

“We’ve probably missed the countdown, but Happy New Year, Shoto.” He felt Todoroki lean back into him, resting his cheek against his spiked out hair. “Thanks for making this year a good one.”

“You too. Thank you for loving me.” He heard him whisper back, bringing their conjoined hands up to kiss Bakugou’s knuckles. “Happy New Year, love.”

Thanks for reading!

Hey there!

I’m looking for some (18+) peeps who’d want to do a semi-clean my hero academia rp!

Here’s a list of my preferred ships:

• Kiribaku

• shinbaku

• todobaku

• shinkami

• Todosero

• Todokami

I prefer to play the characters listed on the right and if you have any other ships you’d like to do, let me know:)

I prefer for both of us not to use OC’s just because I don’t like it, sorry to disappoint.

I prefer a 3rd person writing style with a MINIMUM of 3-4 lines a time. I will try my best to match your writing length and would appreciate if you could do the same!

I don’t have any concrete plot ideas in mind for all of them, but we can work one out together. Feel welcome to bring your own plots!!

If you want 100% clean, that’s fine, but personally I’d like a bit of NSFW content too.

Send me a dm if you’re up for it!!

How close do you think we are to the UA traitor being revealed?

pretty close! my bet is it’s going to happen in the next arc. Horikoshi has this thing he does where he’ll introduce a new plot thread, let it simmer for a while, then briefly mention it again later on, let it stew a bit longer, and then finally introduce it again and resolve it. examples:

Shinsou wanting to join the hero course was introduced in the Sports Festival. later on right before the start of the Forest arc (ch. 70) Deku spots him walking down the hall with Aizawa. he makes a few more sporadic appearances over the next few arcs (provisional exam, and school festival), and then that plot thread is finally resolved in the Joint Training arc.

Shirakumo is briefly name-dropped in between the Joint Training and MVA arcs (in chapter 217). approximately 40 chapters later he’s revealed as Kurogiri.

Gigantomachia makes his first appearance all the way back in chapter 57 (the same chapter in which Dabi, Toga, and Spinner are first revealed). after that there’s nary a peep from him until 90 chapters later in the middle of the Basement arc, when he’s featured in Kirishima’s flashback. twenty chapters after that we see him terrorizing Gran and Naomasa, and then there’s nothing until the MVA arc when he’s finally revealed in depth. Horikoshi really took his time with that one.

Endeavor’s redemption arc is started at the end of Kamino, then nudged forward about 80 chapters later during the My Baby-Sitter Academia TodoBaku miniarc, and then finally comes to a head about 30 chapters after that.

the vestiges were introduced all the way back in the Sports Festival, and then didn’t reappear until the beginning of the Joint Training arc, with them finally being explained at the conclusion of said arc. and actually we still don’t know who all of them are so this is kind of still ongoing.

Ragdoll’s quirk is stolen during Kamino, and it’s touched on again at the start of the Endeavorhawks arc. then during the War arc we finally learned what had happened to it.

anyway I’ll stop there for now, but basically you can see that Horikoshi does a lot of juggling with all of his plots (including others I haven’t mentioned, such as Eri’s quirk, the Hawks Spy Plot, and Deku’s quest to master Blackwhip), and likes to periodically take them out of the oven just to check on them, and often him doing so is a sign that he’s almost ready to focus on them in earnest.

so why do I bring this up, you ask? because of this conversation that happened approximately 40 chapters ago:

this is Horikoshi lifting the lid on the traitor plot once again and letting the aroma waft in the air a little bit just to remind us that this is still a thing and that he hasn’t forgotten it. and if you take a look at the other plot threads I mentioned above, and compare them to the traitor plot, which was introduced in chapter 13, expanded on at the end of Kamino and the beginning of the provisional exam arc, and then most recently brought up again here, we can see that Horikoshi is once again following the same familiar pattern.

and based on how those other plots bore out, I think it’s very likely that we’re going to see this one finally come to a head very shortly. if I had to venture a guess, I’d bet that it comes up at the end of this arc. or more accurately, during one of the in-between chapters that bridges the gap between this arc and the next. it wouldn’t surprise me if this plot ends up being the lead-in to whatever arc comes after this. and if you think about it the timing would make perfect sense, because this is without a doubt the biggest arc to date in terms of sheer scale and character involvement and deadly stakes and plot threads converging, and so it’s going to take something pretty big to follow an act like that. and I can’t think of anything more perfect for the job than the traitor plot, which is one of the most hotly contested mysteries of the entire series. so yeah; it’s not guaranteed or anything, but I’d say there’s a very good chance we’ll be seeing this in early 2021 at the latest.

Don't worry about ranting, I encourage benting your feelings about this kinds stuff lol

I don't think I could give you a very general reason why they think kr//bk could become canon. I think every shipper has their own reasons to ship it. I do think that it has a lot to do with the way their relationship was portrayed in the anime and + some director's choices about the way some scenes were adapted + the way that then was carried to the english dub. It also has a lot to do with the very wrong conclusion of Kirishima being "gay coded" some fans derived from his character page, the one translated by Viz, if I may add.

There is also a lot of filler scenes + smash chapters and merchandise fanservice stuff that has fed the flame of the ship. There is a very detailed PowerPoint presentation made by a fan of the ship where they explain why they ship it and why they think Kirishima is gay here

(You'll notice that manga content is almost not used at all)

And I'll quote a post I just read which explains my feelings regarding this headcanon:

"With the moment in Ch. 71[thermal baths scene], it’s a bit of a stretch to say that Kirishima is gay because he wasn’t into the idea of peeping on the girls when it’s very obvious from the blush on his cheeks that he is somewhat titillated (...) at the idea of seeing a naked girl. Despite that Kirishima has been shown to be a very considerate, respectful, non-confrontational person who won’t go out of his way to upset someone else.

(...) I find it interesting that people are using examples of them rejecting stereotypical “masculine” attributes as evidence that these two are gay."

(This argument falls apart though when you remember that Kirishima considers Mina "manly" too; so it's not really about the "man" part, but the attitude: his concept of manliness is about being brave, strong, hardworking and cool etc.)

And here is a very good explanation of why some fans believe it could/should became canon.

(In conclusion it says it would be good LGTBQ representation)

In the manga Hori gave Kirshima (& Kaminari) a very specific role: he brings the class together. And so, to have a character that would notice some of Bakugou's good qualities, there was Kirishima (at first, bc Kaminari does that too and that becomes relevant later). On the USJ arc he realizes Bakugou is not just a hothead, but that he's quite smart. And bc he from then on considers him "manly", he starts to follow him around. I see their relationship in leader/follower terms. Kiri understands him to some extent, he respects him and admires him and decides to stuck with him. He knows what makes him tick (Deku) and acts accordingly with him. But they aren't really close, and you can tell bc they still call each other by their last names. (Bakugou's middle school friends called him Katsuki, for example.)

About it kr//bks believing it's more valid than other ships, I think it a lot to do with the fact their relationship is very simple and has no drama, so it contrasts with other ships that are (like bkdk or todobaku) + the fanservice I previously mentioned + the misinterpretation of infamous handhold scene.

Funny thing is Uraraka is Deku's follower in the same sense that Kirishima is: she admires him, understands him to some extent and imitates him. And has some understanding of Deku's relationship with Bakugou.

Tbh I don't think kr//bk could become canon if anything bc of homophobia. I also think bkdk won't be canon in a romantic way (hero partners and best friends? Hell yeah)

Sorry this was so long, I wanted to give you a good answer lol.

NEW CHAPTER IS *chefs kiss* THE BEST!! The todo baku conversations were Very good. They reminded me of this one quote from a really good fic where bakugou was like “he puts his father on a pedestal just to diss him to his eyes” about todo it was v good. Also my daughter rei is reaching new heights and kicking new butts and it’s great

that makes me so happy!! thank u so much for reading! !! hope ur in a different time zone bc i know i posted at like 3am 😩✊🏼 all the todobaku scenes made this chapter impossible to write since i only ever want to give my boys the character development they Deserve but this is more or less the start_of_something_new.mp3 anyway (peep that overture title 🤙🏼) i’ll definitely have time to expand on their dynamic later on 🤧 to be fair u can tell how far todoroki’s come just by those texts with rei at the end alone and the fact that bakugou is begrudgingly albeit still willingly participating in a group chat called “bakugou and his best friends” says more than enough about him 🥰
