"Translucent night"

.

The cold that freezes the veins, pales the eyes that reflected in them a beautiful look that embraces the sky in its splendorous infinity.

The vices that go out in the body when covered by nature, away from bad thoughts, even for a short time that was provided to rest from all reluctance for life.

If he could touch the gentle breeze that felt freezing on contact, he could at least assure himself that it wasn't the end of the fight yet; He had a chance to win.

That was what was going through Todoroki's mind, who, having strayed from the road with his friends, was just watching the night somewhere in the mall.

If he only had the possibility of sharing such a beautiful scenario beside Midoriya, he would not worry about thinking about tomorrow if he were by his side.

With Midoriya things made sense, color and flavor.

If he deviated it was because his mind was not calm, because he thought that Bakugou had better chances of winning, but he also didn't feel comfortable being in the same place that Bakugou was; because every time he saw him, he had ample desire to freeze him and leave him on an iceberg so he wouldn't bother his long-awaited peace.

How much disdain on his part did Bakugou deserve? Everything.

His presence did nothing but fill the patience that he tried so hard to maintain, and yet Midoriya fell to his charms, if it could be called charms, because for Todoroki, Bakugou was an explosive man full of defects. Of course, he didn't rule out that Bakugou had great qualities in terms of combat, or in the studies, since he was one of the best students in the classroom and his reasoning when they were not blinded by his pride, were quite solid and well founded.

Bakugou was a good rival, both in combat and in love. Either way, he was exceptionally good for it.

If there was anything Todoroki hated, it was when Midoriya talked about Bakugou with a sparkle in his eyes, recounting the various reasons why he admired him and insisted that he was his image of what a triumphant hero is.

He thought it was All Might who inspired the image of victory, not Bakugou.

And there, one of the reasons why he was fugitive from his feelings, prisoner of his heart, and isolated from his friends, because his mind was not calm of thoughts.

He was bombarded by harmful thoughts, of course, negative, surrounded by thousands of possibilities to be with Midoriya, and then won thoughts about Bakugou next to Midoriya. And everything became blurry.

He simply feared losing Midoriya.

He received a message after taking more than half an hour in his own thoughts, and when he saw who it was, he decided to read it. It was from Midoriya. He said:

Todoroki-kun, where are you? We've been looking for you everywhere, are you alright?

Todoroki took a long, wide breath. He did what he least wanted to do: worry Midoriya unnecessarily.

After a minute of looking at the message in silence, he received another message from Midoriya; He said:

Please answer, I am worried about not knowing where you are and if you are well.

If you left for a reason, you can tell me, I will understand, but please respond.

He closed his eyes, squeezing the cell phone in his hand.

How could he be so selfish as to worry Midoriya? How could he?

He opened his eyes, and started typing. Said:

Midoriya, I'm sorry, I left because I needed to be alone. I'm fine, seriously, I'll see you at the dorms.

That day he was supposed to be only at Midoriya's side, but for reasons of fate, a villain got in his way and on top of that, Bakugou joined them at Christmas shopping without squealing. All because he was also in love with Midoriya.

He wanted to turn off his cell phone so he wouldn't receive any more messages, but Midoriya had answered him right away, and he didn't seem to leave him alone for any reason; He said:

Tell me where you are? I will go for you, I don't want to leave you alone.

If it's for Kacchan, he's with me, but I can go find you, without Kacchan, if that's the problem.

What he lacked… Midoriya was with Bakugou, obviously… he would have to leave them alone, but a part of him told him not to leave Midoriya for a long time alone with Bakugou, because knowing how impulsive he was, he would do some imprudence with such to have Midoriya with him.

All he thought was in Midoriya. All his thinking was centered on him.

His whole being longed to be next to Midoriya.

He texted as fast as he could, telling him:

I am just outside the mall, on the first floor, where there are some bulky trees. The sky looks so clear at night, you'll distinguish it right away, Midoriya.

I wait for you here.

He concluded that he should not be defeated so easily, only by the presence of Bakugou in the life of Midoriya. A presence for years that they both had to meet and know how they were personality.

It wasn't the end, it just wasn't the end of the war, because Midoriya hadn't said who the person he liked was; Surely, the luckiest person in the world would be the person Midoriya is in love with.

He received a message from Midoriya, saying:

Okay, we'll go there.

He would have to adapt to Midoriya coming to look for him in the company of Bakugou, or as he said 'Kacchan', that childhood nickname that was not taken away from him. That nickname that determined their relationship of years of knowing each other. That nickname that distinguished him from the rest of the others.

He received another message from Midoriya, which said:

Don't move, Todoroki-kun, we're almost there.

He read it vehemently, looking at him sideways, but nonetheless he was happy to know that Midoriya would go looking for him and not another of his friends, although he appreciated them a lot, but he already had another feeling for Midoriya. A special preference

When he put the cell phone in his pocket, he looked at the dark and clean sky. In that, a voice that caused him so much intensity, a voice he loved to hear called him with concern.

"Todoroki-kun!" Midoriya ran with his Santa hat on, and his shopping bags in both hands. Following him came, of course, Bakugou with a frown and both hands tucked into his pockets. He rolled his eyes when he saw him. "Todoroki-kun, I finally find you." Midoriya sighed in relief, stopping at his side.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize," Midoriya dissuaded with his hand, smiling at him unconcernedly. "Everything is fine on my part" He said, making fists of strength.

"You're stupid," Bakugou insulted him, behind Midoriya.

"K-Kacchan!" Midoriya exclaimed in fright.

"How dare you worry Deku like that?" He pointed out, growling at him. "You're supposed to be his friend, right?"

Todoroki looked down, feeling guilty about what he caused by his negative thoughts, and seeing him well, he unnecessarily worried Midoriya about his selfishness. Bakugou was right to tell him those things, so he nodded taking responsibility for his actions.

"I know" He concluded regretfully.

"You should apologize for your nonsense, idiot!" Bakugou growled in disdain. "Don't worry Deku." He shoved him with his right hand.

"Kacchan" Midoriya's eyes widened in surprise, but at the same time moved by Bakugou's attitude. "Thank you." He gave him a grateful smile, to which Bakugou responded with a grunt, hiding the visible blush from his cheeks.

How obvious he was in front of Midoriya.

"Forgive me Midoriya" He bowed. "The next time I need to be alone I will let you know to avoid causing so many problems"

"It's okay" Midoriya stammered, lifting him from his bow. "It's not that bad, Todoroki-kun." Midoriya gave a nervous laugh, trying to dispel the situation.

"Stop, Deku." Bakugou took him by the shoulder and pulled him toward him. "Leave him alone, that's the half and half bastard, always causing trouble for everything." He grumbled, wrinkling his nose.

"But, Kacchan," Midoriya protested, pouting. Bakugou put his hand on Midoriya's face, pulling his cheeks, causing another pout on his face. "K-Kacchan!" He exclaimed in pain.

"Stop screaming so much" He ordered scolding him. "Let's better go, yes? You said you wanted to see the damn fireworks show that will happen in five minutes"

Midoriya stopped dead, blinking with his mouth making an O.

"Oh yes." He raised his head, excited. "Do you want to come Todoroki-kun? There will be a fireworks show at the outdoor mall" He smiled as he said that.

Seeing Bakugou's scornful look, removing his hands from Midoriya's face, but not letting go of him, he clung to his side so he wouldn't let go.

"Sure" He said, wanting to annoy Bakugou, who of course got mad.

"Tsk." He saw him growl in severity, so he smiled sideways.

"Come on, Kacchan." Midoriya smiled affirmatively, causing an aggressive blush at Bakugou, which he caught right away. "Todoroki-kun, come on" He said cheerfully.

"Yes"

How obvious was the explosive boy with Midoriya and he didn't even notice his aggressive blushes in front of him.

Before retiring with them, he gave one last look at the translucent night, seizing strength to move on.
