CHAP 284+ SPOILERS, TW // INJURY SCARS

BAKUGOU HEADCANON 41

When Bakugou finally recovers enough to go back to school and “beat all of their moping asses” Todoroki finds himself deeply invested in Bakugou’s waist, the way that it’s endearingly tiny is only a bonus fact, but it’s mostly because he needs to feel that Bakugou is there, that he no longer has a gaping hole in the middle of his chest.

When the blonde cooks, Todoroki can often be found hanging behind him like a koala, head resting on Bakugou’s shoulder and arms tightly around his waist, pulling him in. Another point is the fact that Todoroki can feel Bakugou’s heartbeat through his pressed arms and chest, still breathing, still alive.

It’s daunting sometimes, waking up to a nightmare and having to incessantly knock on Bakugou’s door to make sure what he dreamt of wasn’t real when it could have been. Bakugou simply opens the door in silence and lets Todoroki wrap him in a tight hug with the occasional sniffling of tears. His hands will always, always, reach Bakugou’s waist, holding on as if it’s his lifeline. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.

But most of the time, it’s quite somber moments where they’re seated on Bakugou’s bed, the blonde holding his shirt up so Todoroki can lightly trace the scar his injury left behind. The injury Todoroki had to bandage and salvage. When his nightmares of pain and death mix together and he’s knocking on Bakugou’s door again with tears, Bakugou will be the one to place feather light kisses onto the scar on his face, murmuring phrases Todoroki couldn’t understand from the shock and daze. 

They’ll fall asleep like that, Todoroki’s arms around Bakugou and the other’s hand on Todoroki’s face. They’re healing, that’s for sure, in slow picturesque moments with their inevitable fear of the past replaced with love.
