Aizawa had come down with a cold. Despite coming in to teach, it was clear all he wanted to do was curl up in his sleeping bag and pass out. The class decided to give their teacher a break that day and take it upon themselves to train.

Still, it didn’t stop the usual bickering fits Bakugou would get into. Lately, his main target of frustration had been Todoroki, for he was still pretty bitter about the festival. Their fights never lasted, but Midoriya still worried. The last time they fought, bakugou blew up a desk, and Todoroki froze the door.

“Is it me, or is this becoming a pattern?” Uraraka mused, her brown eyes growing concerned as she eyed Bakugou’s sparking hands. Todoroki hadn’t activated his quirk, but Midoriya could see the steam rising from his left side. Oh dear.

“Oh god! This is my fault! I didn’t mean to bump into them!” A new voice made the pair jolt, looking around. “Huh? Oh! Hagakure!” Uraraka said, an eased smile on her lips as she turned to the invisible girl. “Don’t fret. I’m sure they would have found something to fight over today, anyway.”

Midoriya nodded, smiling over at his classmate. The only thing visible on her was her gloves, which she wrung with clear nervousness. “Uraraka’s right. Don’t worry.” He turned back to the others, feeling the tightness in his chest ease slightly as Iida broke them up. “Still...they do seem more agitated than usual. I wish we could make them feel better.”

As they watched Iida ineffectively tell off Bakugou, the other growing even more agitated with the class rep, Hagekure stopped her hands, pausing in thought. “Hey...I got an idea!” She slipped off her gloves, passing them to Midoriya. “Hold these, please. I’ll be back.” With that, she shuffled by, no longer noticeable.

“Gah! You’re giving me a headache! Lay off with the damn lecture, extra!” Bakugou growled, making Iida straighten with anger. “Don’t talk to him like that, Bakugou. Considering you’re the one who started it.” Todoroki scowled, bringing the blonde’s attention back to him. Iida was clearly at his wits end when he felt a hand on his shoulder, gently guiding him back. “I got this.” Hagekure whispered, gliding past him. 

“Why you-AH!” The loud blonde suddenly startled, jumping back with a harsh gasp. Todoroki blinked, raising an eyebrow at his classmate. “What?” Bakugou was about to respond when he yelped again, doubling over with a bark of laughter. “GAh! Ahahahhahaha! W-whahaat the hehehehhell?”

Todoroki and Iida shared a look as Bakugou squirmed and laughed, arms tightly around his torso as he howled with laughter. “Is he okay?” Todoroki asked, anger replaced with confusion as he watched Bakugou fall to his knees, tears of mirth dotting his eyes as he cackled. “Why are you-AH!”

Iida stepped back with an amused look when Todoroki suddenly yelped, jerking back as his own laughter filled the area around them. “Aheehahahahhahaahhaha! Wahahhahait! Nohohohohohoho!” He squeaked, cheeks flushing as red as his left side. He tried in vain to block the invisible attack along his belly, falling onto his side with endless giggles. “Stahhahahaahp ihhihihihit Ihihihiihihih’m tihihihihhicklkish!”

The rest of 1-A looked on, cooing softly at the rare sight. “Bakugou and Todoroki have surprisingly cute laughs.” Tsu mused, sharing a smile with Mina.  “Aww! They’re finally getting along! How manly!” Kirishima grinned, utterly delighted to know Bakugou’s weakness. “I didn’t know they were so ticklish. How sweet!” Denki snickered, grinning even more when Todoroki made a squeak sound. Uraraka and Midoriya watched with wide eyes, momentarily lost in the sound of Todoroki’s laugh. “So cute…” Both cooed, blushing softly.

The boys were at the complete mercy to Hagekure’s attack, her fingers flying over their tickle spots and leaving them helpless and giggly. Bakugou was grinning like a fool, loud explosive cackles filling the air around him. Todoroki wasn’t much better, face flushed a bright red, lips pulled into a reluctant grin as he squeaked and laughed, trying in vain to push away the tickly hands.

“Gahahahahahhhaha! Shahahahaht ihiihihihihiht! Ihhiihiihihihihim nohohohohot cuhhuhHAHHAHAHA!”  Bakugou squawked when the invisible hand attacked his hip, squeezing at the bone. Wait a minute- “HAHAHAHAHAHGEKURE!” He cried, realizing who was tickling him.

Todoroki tried to speak, only to squeal loudly as Hakagure’s other hand latched onto his thigh, squeezing and kneading above the knee. “PLEHEHEHEHEHHASE! STHAHAHHAHAP IHIHIHIHIHIIHT!” He wheezed, tears of mirth rolling freely down his flushed cheeks.

“Promise you’ll get along?” The invisible girl asked, her voice light with mischief. When Todoroki nodded frantically, she finally let him go, leaving the bi-colored haired student to curl up into a ball, gasping for breath. “Bakugou? What about you?” She asked, adding her other hand to the mix, squeezing at his hips viciously.

“GAHAHHAHAHAHA! F-FHIHIHIHIHIHINE! FIHIHIIHINE! STAHHAHAP TICKLING MEHEHEHEHE!” He finally submitted, flopping back and gasping for air when Hakagure let him be. With a giggle, she quickly got up, darting away and retrieving her gloves and uniform. Both boys laid in the grassy terrain,  exhausted and giggly. “Heheehehe...thahahat neheherd…” Bakugou groaned, arm thrown over his eyes as he recovered. Todoroki only nodded, closing his mismatched eyes against the cool ground.

Midoriya and Uraraka tried. They really did. Before either of them knew it, they were giggling hysterically at the sight. “Hehehehe! You two are so adorable!” The space girl cooed around her laughter, smiling even more when Todoroki blushed. Midoriya tried to fight down a grin, for once not  fazed by the death glare Bakugou was sending his way. “Yeheah....I knew you were ticklish back then, Kaccan. It’s good to see that hasn’t changed.”

The explosive and duel-elemental students shared a look, a rare alliance forming between them as Uraraka and Midoriya calmed down. “You get round face. I got the nerd.” Was all Bakugou said before charging towards the green haired student, earning a surprised squeal. “Gah! Nohohoho! Kacchan waihaaiat!” Was all he got out before Bakugou attacked him. Uraraka managed to run a few feet before Todoroki snatched her up, sending her into a fit of childish giggles.

A few good meters away, Aizawa watched from his sleeping bag cocoon, letting himself dawn a warm expression. “Heh, these kids…” He laughed softly, snuggling back in for another nap.
