screaming at how opposite these fight club scenarios are depending on the ship
like...itās bakugou whoās been eyeing this goofy lanky unassuming but strong ass dude for weeks. heās always smiling and he gets beat within an inch of his life but he WINS, almost always, and even when he loses itās still there. the smile. bakugou wants to wipe it off his face
but then itās med student/intern todoroki, who sees this beaten, bruised, yet still wildly attractive man stumble out of an alleyway on his way home late at night and this is how people die in movies but heās a med student, heās obligated to help and this guy looks like hell
both of these are so...iām finna start barking
imagine sero absolutely whooping bakugouās ass the first time they match up
imagine todoroki thinking sero is seconds from death and his apartment is only a short walk away so he prays heās not patching up a murderer in his bathroom
*ariana voice* can u...imagiiine a world like that
everything about bakugou and seroās first real introduction is fiery. itās muggy and thereās blood on the floor and theyāre both bruised to hell but bakugou calls him out. challenges him. sero smiles, easy. accepts. wipes the floor w bakugouās dumbass
but todorokiās is the total opposite. the doctor-to-be in him is going haywire, heās in the middle of the sidewalk pressing fingers to seroās chest and face. heās trying to talk to him, get a name, something but seroās ears are filled with cotton. he smiles at him w bloody teeth
it honest to god should not be as attractive as it is. now look at todoroki, a blushing mess
i cannot stop oscillating between the 2 scenarios...they both are so.....sdfyhjuhj
iām still on this yāall. listen this is so funny i just thought about the fact that bakugou has prolly never in his life had somebody embarrass him like this. not only is this fucker attractive up close but heās strong?? stronger than him??? oh bitch. bakugou is RATTLED
sero helps him up afterward and heās tryna be friendly and nearly gets his head bitten off. bakugou has to get his shit and leave before he can open his mouth and say something ridiculous bc fuck this dude and his muscles and his charm. bye. he doesnāt have to deal w this
but then in my other hand itās todoroki who just barely manages to get this guy through the door & into his bathroom. sero is dizzy as hell, no idea who this person is or where heās been taken but damn this a nice ass apartment. and a nice ass bathroom. ppl really live like this?
todoroki is trying to be strictly professional here but not only is sero flirting with him, voice hoarse and eyes prettily unfocused, but todoroki knows heās bruised under his shirt so he has to get it off and aw damn. the physique. todoroki is like
listen to me yāall. listen to me. i literally canāt pick between these
bakugou the next 8 times he sees sero, literally day after day: i wanna fight lets go
sero: how many times do i have to teach you this lesson old man
sero: how many times do i have to teach you this lesson old man
sero, waking up on todorokiās couch nicely bandaged but sore as fuck: dude iām so sorry about the intrusion! 
todoroki, staring at his bare chest from the kitchen: it was nothing
todoroki, staring at his bare chest from the kitchen: it was nothing
sero & bakugou just agitate each other and then fight. they donāt know each otherās real names, never see each other outside of beating the absolute shit out of each other. this is exclusively antagonistic (sike. obviously). bakugou thinks itās serious and sero thinks itās funny
by the time sero wakes up in todorokiās apartment heās late for his day job. he barely has enough time to thank him and leave a stack of bills before he runs out. in hindsight he wasnāt thinking bc todoroki CLEARLY has more money than him but like,, whatās the etiquette here
todorokiās kinda bummed & a little scandalized. but literally the same night they run into each other again. same alleyway, same time. sero is much more lucid, smiles when he recognizes him. todoroki connects some dots in his head and realizes this guy might b a drug dealer
in either of these, at the club or in front of the alley, sero gives the same blood stained smile and says, āi donāt think i ever caught your name.ā the responses are wildly different
bakugou straight up feels threatened. like dude no u did not just make me BLUSH get the fuck out of here! āfuck off, i didnāt throw it to you!ā heās growling and baring his teeth. āwell mineās sero,ā he raises a split brow, āwe should get to know each other.ā
āshouto. todoroki shouto.ā todoroki is more than happy to know this mans name. absolutely no concept of coming off as thirsty bc heās sure heās picking up whatās being thrown down here and heād like to see that chest again one of these days. seroās enamored. āhanta. sero hanta.ā
SOMEBODY COME LOOK AT THIS....... https://twitter.com/anpanmeg/status/1308999075522654209
the way that meg is galaxy brained. now all i can see is the first meetings happening on the same night
a few weeks go by, sero spends his days with todoroki and his nights kicking bakugouās ass. heād actually been avoiding the infamous alleyway so he wouldnāt see him like that. then bakugou starts riding out with him when the club closes, and it turns out they live near each other
he and bakugou get roughed the fuck up one night tho, scrappy newcomers. doing too much. they still won but damn are they sore. and of course as soon as they step out of /that/ alley todorokiās there in his scrubs looking dead tired. sero lights up when he sees him regardless
bakugou is kinda pissed cus like..who the hell is this clown any why are they so touchy? and who the fuck is hanta? but before he can open his mouth sero is introducing them, voice smooth and charm on 100 (when is it ever not?) with that stupid (gorgeous) smile in place
todoroki is unimpressed. he really never asked what led to hanta getting so beaten up, even when they started spending more time together when the sun was up, but he had kinda run w the drug dealer theory. so far this checked out. he reaches for a handshake and gets a sneer back.
ok so fuck whoever this guy is. todorokiās eyes narrow, bakugouās face scrunches up further. boy does sero know a fight brewing when he sees one. āi hate to ask, but do you mind patching me up?ā the question makes shouto blink up at him, bakugou momentarily forgotten. āJUST you.ā
shouto directs a pointed glare at bakugou, and itās all sero can do to step in between them after bakugou spits out a āfuck you, candy cane.ā he heaves a deep spiritual sigh, bc itās nearing midnight in the fall. heās cold, his ribs hurt, the blood under his nose is congealing.
god he just wants to go to bed. heās had enough fighting for one night. he squeezes shoutoās shoulder, āthank you,ā and smiles as sweet as he can. shouto must be satisfied bc he smiles back, tiny & soft, and turns in the direction of his apartment. bakugou follows them, grumbling
seroās certain heās got some type of attitude now but whatever. heās following them and heās quiet, thatās enough. heās sure if he put a lil extra work in he could get shouto to help bandage him up too. if he can get bakugou to keep his damn mouth shut. heāll see what he can do
ight iām back on bs. so imagine this: they make it back to todorokiās apartment and itās just bakugou standing angrily (awkwardly) in the living room why sero makes himself comfortable in the kitchen. seroās like ādude relax he doesnāt biteā and bakugou, obviously, is offended
āhah? you think iām scared of that son of a bitch? the fuck-ā sero almost smashes his head against the counter bc ofc, of /course/ bakugou would take offense to that. heās about to tell him to shut up, but todoroki beats him to the punch by throwing a towel at his face. HARD.
āthis is a nice building and itās late. shut. up.ā both sero and bakugou are just staring, slack jawed. sero starts to smile at bakugouās obvious distress. todoroki must not notice, bc heās making his way to sero and taking note of his injuries before heading back to the bathroom
bakugou is on the verge of blowing a gasket and before he can speak sero is over the counter with a hand over his mouth. āok seriously, donāt yell in here again. this really is a nice building, iāve met his neighbors. i promise heās a nice person. just calm down.ā and bakugou...
heās gone from angry to flustered & back to angry bc sero has at least 4 inches on him & theyāve never been this close to each other & not getting ready to kick each otherās ass. he can really focus on him when heās this close, how even with his face all bruised heās still pretty
the hand on his mouth is warm and bakugou has a death grip on the towel he tore off his face moments earlier and this shit is ridiculous. truly ridiculous. so he does what any sane, rational person would do, and bites the shit out of seroās hand. sero yelps because what the fuck?
he snatches his hand back, brows furrowed in not quite anger but exasperation. āwhat the hell is your problem? are you a fucking animal?ā he whisper screams. āfuck off, donāt touch me!ā bakugou whisper screams back, & why the fuck are they whispering? āi touch you all the time-ā
āhanta? do you still need me?ā todorokiās voice rings out. bakugou scowls at how quickly sero turns from him to smile in half & halfās direction. and who the FUCK is hanta? āyeah, i do. be there in a sec.ā sero says, honey sweet. todoroki nods, disappears back into the bathroom.
