It was nine-thirty and the dorm was alive. By noon sixteen people had left leaving Asui, Tokoyami, Bakugou, and Todoroki. Asui and Tokoyami were in their rooms, both being antisocial. Bakugou had been in the kitchen all morning and had noticed that Todoroki hadn't grabbed any lunch. The more he thought, the more he realized. Todoroki hadn't had any food since lunch on Friday, a full twenty-four hours ago. Bakugou quickly made some soba, for both himself and Todoroki. He put reasonably good portions in two bowls, then put the rest in a tupperware. He labeled the tupperware as Todoroki's and slid it in the fridge. Bakugou sat down and ate his soba hot, waiting for Todoroki's bowl to cool down.

    Once the soba was cold, Bakugou took it up to Todoroki's room. He knocked on the door waiting for the candy cane colored hair to come out. It took a minute, but Todoroki opened the door just enough for him to slip through, then shut the door. "I noticed you haven't eaten today," Bakugou's voice wavered slightly, "so I brought you some soba." He held out the soba and Todoroki took it gratefully. "Thank you," Todoroki walked back into his room. This allowed Bakugou to peer into Todoroki's room. He wished he hadn't, the room was a mess, things were knocked down and it was dark. Bakugou walked away.

    Bakugou spent almost the rest of the day in his room. He came down at about eleven-thirty to get some food. He saw Todoroki in the kitchen, the boy was kneeling in front of a cabinet on the floor. He appeared to be looking for something. Bakugou just walked past him towards the pantry, making a mental note to ask him about it later. At the sound of the pantry door, Todoroki jumped slightly. He stood up and started to walk out. "Hey, can I talk to you?" He jumped at Bakugou's voice. Todoroki was stunned, Bakugou was never calm, towards anything. "About what?" Todoroki was shaking slightly. Bakugou looked at Todoroki, the boy hadn't turned around and was visibly shaking.

    Bakugou took him by the hand and sat him down on the couch. "I know something's wrong," Bakugou's voice was calming and motherly. Todoroki wouldn't look up at Bakugou, so Bakugou gently grabbed Todoroki's chin and forced the boy to look at him. The peppermint haired boy looked slightly scared of the blonde in front of him. "Are you o-" he cut himself off and tried again, "What happened?" Todoroki wouldn't meet Bakugou's eyes. "Why are you being nice to me?" Todoroki's words stung Bakugou. Bakugou didn't answer and let go of Todoroki, looking away, "Why does it matter?" Todoroki looked down and pulled at the end of his sleeves. Bakugou started talking a few minutes later, scaring Todoroki in the process, "What happened? You're always so jumpy." Todoroki didn't want to tell him, but he did nonetheless, "It's because of," he paused," training with Endeavor." Bakugou looked back at the boy next to him.

    He was shocked to see Todoroki's hands shaking and eyes screwed shut. Todoroki's breathing sped up as he went through the abuse in his head. "Are you alright?" Bakugou was clear as day, but Todoroki couldn't hear him. Todoroki moved his knees to his chest and his hands over his ears. "Stop," he muttered. Bakugou probably wasn't meant to hear it, but it was quiet in the common room. "Make it stop," Todoroki was a little louder that time and it brought Bakugou to his senses. Bakugou quickly wrapped his arms around the shaking boy, gently pulling Todoroki into his lap. He rubbed circles on Todoroki's back. It was only now that Bakugou realized Todoroki was crying. Todoroki brought his hands away from his ears and wrapped them tightly around Bakugou. "Breathe, Todoroki," Bakugou's voice was calming to Todoroki. Eventually, Todoroki had calmed down and was passed out in Bakugou's arms. Bakugou wanted to get up but he was to tired to bring Todoroki upstairs and there was no way in hell he was going to wake Todoroki up. Bakugou sighed and slowly adjusted himself and Todoroki so they were in a more comfortable position. Bakugou lie awake thinking about the adorable boy on top of him. He stopped and backtracked his thoughts. He blushed slightly and finally went to sleep.
