[indeed, that night of rest had been as futile as he expected, spent tossing and turning with a rich foreign flavor on his tongue and the ghost of another against it, of hands that are (always?) too warm and too rough on him, flaxen hair between his fingers; the next day at school means trying to carry on like nothing had happened, but a moment of eye contact that lingers too long between them, too full of things that were left unsaid and questions left unasked, tells him he isn't alone in it]
[still, he says nothing. not for days, not until he finds Bakugou alone one evening in one of UA's many gyms, dressed down and doing what he always does — pushing himself]
[Todoroki lingers, watching the heat flooded on his skin and the sheen of sweat on him, before his feet carry him over, dropping a gym bag on a mat some several steps away]
Bakugou.
[there's a pause, like he wasn't quite sure what he wanted to say, before finally — ]
Spar me. Without our quirks.

happily, he's not a mind reader so that little tangent goes unsaid. todoroki who could contemplate and muse and dwell on shit like this... bakugou calculates, he reaches conclusions with a decisiveness he commits to, whether it might be correct or not.
he acts. ]
Damn right I'm the best at it. [ what, like there's any question? there's a bit of a cocky smirk hearing this acknowledgment straight from todoroki who he still sees as a rival, no question as to why that might be, regardless of how friendly they may or may be he always respects todoroki's abilities. ] And no shit you gotta work on yours. Relying on your quirk too much might as well fuck you over one day.
So. [ brief moment of gloating over with, his grin is sharp again as he shakes out a hand, fires a brief explosion that he extinguishes just as swiftly--hand to hand, sure. ] You sure just want that?
To get a little physical? [ a dare of a question, like his wolf's smile is. ]
