Enjoy reading!

It was a casual night. Bakugo and Todoroki were out taking a stroll to grab some ice cream together. It really was a night like any other, where their friends were in the dorm fooling around, while some doing their own thing in their room. There was no sign of any danger approaching. At all. Or so they thought.

"This ice cream is fucking salty! Why the hell would you pick this shit." Bakugo complained with his usual angry tone.

"Yeah, but the aftertaste... It's really sweet." Todoroki answered, really enjoying the sea salt ice cream. Well, Bakugo really didn't like the flavor, but seeing that smile on Todoroki... He came to not mind the awful taste.

"...Don't you think this ice cream is very similar to you?" Todoroki added.

"Huh? The fuck do you mean?"

Todoroki smirked naughtily. Damn how he love that fucking smile.

"I mean that you're salty to me at first but really, in the end you're just so sweet it's enthralling." The half and half pinned Bakugo to the wall of the small alley they walked in. It's a good thing that there were no people here or he would be damned.

"You're so good and I want you so fucking much." Todoroki licked his bottom lip.

"Why are you swearing? That's my trademark."

Griping on Bakugo's waist while still holding the sea salt ice cream, Todoroki rushed to kiss Bakugo. He pressed his lips into Bakugo's and explored the inside of Bakugo's mouth, slowly, and thoroughly, with that sly tongue of his.

Fuck. Salty, but sweet.

Bakugo never wanted to lose even in this kind of thing, so he tried to be the one in control by twisting and pushing his tongue with Todoroki's. But still, he knew that Todoroki was a whiz at kissing and stuff. He never won even once. Still, it felt so good he could feel the heat coursing through his groin.

He wanted more.

The kissing wasn't enough.

He needed more heat.

Bakugo was just about to grind his bulging cock with Todoroki's, but get stopped. Bakugo was really surprised. What the hell? Did he get rejected?

"Katsuki, don't get hard yet ok? We have to finish this." The bastard pushed Bakugo and pointed the melting ice cream on his hand.

What a fucking dumbass this person is.

"Please don't get mad at me. The ice cream was really sticky and it kind of gets in the way." Todoroki looked really apologetic, but still, did he have to do that even though they were just making out.

"Whatever, you dick. You just had to go and do that when the mood was just right." Bakugo frowned at how insensitive Todoroki could be.

"Katsuki, baby, you don't know how much I want you too. We were in an alley, people could walk in and things would get messy."

"Well at least let me jack off to you. I am already fucking hard, you ass. How should I deal with this now?"

"Do you think that I am not? Let's just do it back home."

"Well it could already go away." Bakugo sighed heavily. He was amazed that sometimes Todoroki could let him down in the most hilarious way.

Suddenly, Todoroki stopped in his track and held Bakugo's hand.

"Well now I really want you, Katsuki. Just do it with me." Bakugo looked at his eyes, and sure, he could see love and lust in those heterochromatic eyes. He was full of desire that night, Bakugo noticed.

"Then you go to my room, I'm sick of those japanese shit all over."

"Understood, princess." Todoroki smiled warmly.

Well maybe he could forgive him, just because he looked so damn beautiful in that smile.

Todoroki and Bakugo had been dating for a while now. In the front, they would act only as acquintance, and they didn't call each other's given name. No one knew about their relationship except that fuck Deku. He just had to waltz in into Todoroki's room to call him for dinner when they were just making out. It was his stupid Shoto's fault for not locking the door, but for fuck's sake, who would barge in into other's people room? Sure Deku knocked but why the hell did he enter. Bakugo wondered why he didn't kill the prick at that time.

Kirishima, his best bud, might know for some time now. He was always looking out for him. He never said anything though, and Bakugo would not mind if he knew everything about their relationship. It was all fine and dandy.

There was one thing bothering him though...

Yaoyorozu. That chick had been close with his Shoto before. They even went to Ennichi Festival together, coincidentally. Well fuck, Shoto would know what's best for him if he got near that chick again.

He loved him so much. His Shoto. Never in his life had he been so addicted to a person this much. Todoroki was his world right now. He wouldn't ever bear losing him. He swore that he would protect Todoroki above all others. Todoroki is too precious for him. He would protect him. At all cost.

"...Hey Katsuki."

"Huh? What?" Todoroki's voice snapped Bakugo out of his daydreams.

"Can I talk to you about something?"

"What is it? Just say it now."

"I can't talk about it while we're walking. There's a park nearby, let's go there."

"Huh? But won't they get suspicious if you and I were out so late?"

"Just a few minutes' alright. Please."

"Do what you want." Bakugo wondered what his icyhot boyfriend had in mind. It's not a bad thing was it?

"Do you still have a boner?"

"Well it faded away."

"Then let's talk. But we're still doing it at the dorm right?"

"Yeah you pervert."

"Just making sure you keep your end of the deal." Todoroki smiled.

They went to the nearby park, sat on the bench, and fell silent. Bakugo wasn't sure what Todoroki was thinking about and what made him so silent.

"So what the hell do you want to talk about?" Bakugo broke off the silence.

"Katsuki..." Todoroki trailed off his words. What? Was it something important? What was he gonna say?

"Do you believe in reincarnation?" Todoroki looked at Bakugo straight in the eye.

Bakugo could only drop his jaw in surprise.

"What the hell? The fuck are you talking about, Shoto?"

"I'm serious. Do you believe in it?"

"Well fuck no. Why are you asking me that?"

"Because I believe in it." Bakugo couldn't be more surprised. Todoroki never said anything about him believing in any religion.

"What... Really Shoto, you're a Hindu now?"

"That's not it. I just... do really think that people will reborn as new people in their next life. And that no matter what kind of person they will be reborn into, they will always find their soulmates."

"And I believe—"

Todoroki grabbed both of Bakugo's hand tightly, as if they were so easy to lose.

"That you are my soulmate, love." Todoroki smiled warmly at Bakugo while still holding his hands, so tight, so full of love, much to Bakugo's disarray.

His heart can't fucking take this.

"What? Shoto... Why are you bringing this up now?"

There was a pause for a moment. Todoroki inhaled his breath, as if preparing for something.

"If someday I were to be gone by your side, or the reverse, I really believe that we will meet again. No matter what kind of person we'll be reborn into, even if we're so far in age, in status, or even if we're miles away from each other, I believe we would find each other, and we will fall in love again. I'll find my way to you, my love. Mark my words." Todoroki said firmly, with determination. He's not just saying it to flatter him. He's fucking serious.

That's it. That's fucking it. He was so fucking in love with this guy. He would not lose him, no matter what.

Before he even noticed it, tears were welling up in his eyes, dripping to his cheeks.

Fuck. This is so not me. Why the fuck am I crying.

"Katsuki? Are you alright?" Todoroki questioned, confused. Like he didn't know what made him cried.

"You dumbass..." Bakugo let go of the hand that was holding his. Feeling overwhelmed, he hugged Todoroki ever so tightly.

"I don't know much about reincarnation, but I believe you're my soulmate too, Shoto. I believe we'll find each other no matter how much we died. This life, the next, and the next... I'll always remember you." Bakugo said while sobbing quietly in Todoroki's shoulder. He couldn't help but feeling overwhelemed of Todoroki's words.

"Yeah. You have to believe in it, or else it won't work." Todoroki pet Bakugo's hair and traced lines carefully on his scalp.

"Don't say it like we're going to die soon why don't you..."

"I'm sorry. I just had the feeling that I have to pass this on to you tonight." Todoroki tightened his hold on Bakugo and kissed his head.

"You don't know how much I love you, dammit. And how much I want to fuck with you now."

Todoroki only chuckled at that remark.

"And I want to fuck you so bad until you're a fucking mess, Katsuki. Tonight will be rough, I tell you that."

Bakugo could only imagine at how hot tonight will become. That thought alone could make him hard again, so he pushed it aside.

"Well then let's go back."

Bakugo and Todoroki had arrived at the entrance of their dorm. Bakugo started walking casually toward the door, but Todoroki wasn't following beside him. He looked backward, and he saw Todoroki stopping in his track. He was checking his surrounding, as if there were something wrong. Bakugo sensed nothing, so he wondered what made Todoroki on his guard.

"Oi, what's wrong, Shoto?" Bakugo approached Todoroki.

"There's something wrong Katsuki. Be on your guard."

"C'mon, you're exagarrating. Let's just fucking go to my room, can't hold it anymore." Bakugo couldn't help but wanting it so bad, after what happened that night.

"Hush." Todoroki didn't pay atenttion to his boyfriend's craving and still glared at his surroundings. He even got more cautious, as he pulled Bakugo by the wrist and holding it tight. Bakugo took that as a sign and put on his guard too.

Some time came, but there was nothing. Just silence.

"See? There's nothing! C'mon Shoto!" Bakugo released Todoroki's grip off his wrist and started to walk hurriedly to the dorm. He felt a little bit annoyed of Todoroki's unnecessary warning.

"Hey Katsuki! Don't be rash!"

He'll see he was wrong when I open this fucking door.

Bakugo stretched out his hand to reach for the doorknob, but he stopped.

Wait.

Why was the dorm so silent? It's not even bedtime but he couldn't hear any voice. No laughs, shriek, or scream. It was dead silent. As if...

"Look out!" Todoroki shoved Bakugo to the ground and rolled him over a few times to the side. Bakugo grunted of the few scratches on his skin.

What the fuck just happened...

Bakugo looked to the spot he was standing just then and widen his eyes in shock. There were 5 deadly spears sticked out to the ground. Bakugo imagined what would've happen if the spears pierced him. It was a horrible thought.

Todoroki and Bakugo quickly regained their composure and looked out for enemies. Strangely enough, they didn't spot a single enemy. How fucking strange.

Suddenly, blades from all directions came toward them. At that moment, Todoroki created a dome of ice barrage around them so the blades would be deflected, thank his quick decision.

"Shoto... Who is this asshole that attacking us?!" Bakugo panicked, realizing full well that the enemies intend to kill them.

"I don't know... But those blades are dangerous. If we take them head on we would only get killed before we even reach them."

"Well fuck that! I ain't standing around here doing nothing!"

"Wait. Please, Katsuki." Todoroki plead before Bakugo did anything dangerous.

"Those blades are still fired on us endlessly. We didn't spot anyone, so it must be their quirk."

"Then what the hell should I do?!" Bakugo got frustated, unable to do anything.

"Listen to me, Katsuki. The ice isn't at all invincible. It will eventually come off to the point the blades would pierce right through us. So we should—" Todoroki's eyes trailed off to the top of his ice dome. He gasped and ran toward Bakugo. He toppled him down and pinned him to the ground as tight as he could.

The ice on top was destroyed, leaving a big hole. A man with a black hood stood on top of the ice platform and started throwing arrows, daggers, blades, sometimes spears out of fucking thin air to the whole area inside the ice.

Shoto.

It was a scene that he would have never imagined to happen in his life.

The blades landed aimlessly to the hollow ground and to Todoroki, who was covering Bakugo with his own body. The blades first stabbed Todoroki's back. Then his legs. Arms. Todoroki would jerk and groan everytime the blades hit a part of his body. Bakugo knew it could not hit Todoroki's head, or it would be over. Bakugo desperately tried his best to cover Todoroki's head with his hand, griping it tightly. Bakugo grunted in pain as the blades pierced his hands and grazed other parts of his skin.

He tried to reverse the position, as he didn't want Todoroki to get hurt any further, but Todoroki's hold was so tight that he could not make any movement. Meanwhile, the man in hood just kept throwing blades to the entire area, like he knew they could never escape that way.

He couldn't let this happen any longer.

"Shoto... What are you doing. Let me fucking go!"

Todoroki stroked Bakugo's forehead with his thumb while still hovering on top of Bakugo.

He smiled. That idiot, he fucking smiled.

"How can you—"

Before Bakugo even finished his sentence, Todoroki started to cough out blood.

Shit. Internal bleeding.

"Fuck it, Shoto! I am not going to lose you!" Bakugo squirmed, but Todoroki's hold was so firm.

"Please... I beg you, please just stay this way." Todoroki looked so desperate. Why? What did they ever do to deserve this? Why did Shoto have to be the one protecting him, all the while he was just lying there doing nothing?

I've come all this way to become a hero! Why in the fucking hell can't I thrash a single fucking garbage of a person!

After that, Todoroki started a coughing fit and spitting blood. Bakugo was really worried and irritated. Why did it have to come to this? The blades just kept reappearing after another with no end. That bastard just kept throwing those at them. What's this person's goal? To kill them?

"Oi you fuck! Who the hell are you?! What the fuck is your goal?! Did you come here to kill us all?! Then sucks to be you, but the teacher is going their way here, because you are being recorded you dumbfuck!" Bakugo screamed at the top of his lungs, cursing with all his being.

"I've got orders to kill two students named Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo. I've made sure everyone in this area can't save you. I've destroyed all of the cameras. Your teachers and all of your friends are unconscious because of the sleeping gas. You two are helpless, your death is guaranteed. Now just give in and stop clinging into your miserable life!" The man answered, throwing the blades at a more fast pace.

"Ugh!" Todoroki groaned every time a blade stabbed his body. Bakugo tried his best to cover Todoroki's fatal spot by his arms.

That bastard got a shitty quirk that could produce weapons out of thin air. He made it so that the blades he's throwing are landing on the whole ground, so they couldn't make their way out. He could make himself invincible, but it's not possible to have two quirks. So he must have come here with an accomplice. If they were to break out of this position, the blades would instantly kill them in the head. If somehow the ice was undone by Todoroki, the bastard would only make himself invincible and started thrashing them again. Bakugo tried to analyze the situation, but he couldn't make a plan to escape. He was really frustrated in himself. And he really was afraid, so fucking afraid to lose Todoroki.

"I'm bored. Now die." It looked like he got impatient. The faceless man in hood now specifically aimed spears at Bakugo and Todoroki. Todoroki already couldn't move, and the spears came at them in a blink.

"Argh...!" Todoroki screamed in pain as the spears pierced through his body. Todoroki vomited blood, his pupil dilated, looking so pale and helpless, barely able to hang on. Todoroki's organs must have been destroyed by the barbaric weapons that fuck threw at him.

Bakugo was dumbfounded. He could only glare at Todoroki in shock.

Todoroki tried his best not to collapse, even though he was already so weak. He looked like he's in the verge on dying.

Then it strucked him like a bolt of lightning.

Shoto will die.

"Shoto!" Bakugo hugged Todoroki desperately. He didn't even felt the pain of the spears that were scraping on his skin. He just wanted to hold Todoroki on his arms right now. He started crying helplessly on Todoroki's shoulder.

"Katsuki..." His eyes weren't even focused anymore. Todoroki moved his hand to Bakugo's forehead and caressing it weakly. Bakugo grasped Todoroki's shivering hand, and could feel Todoroki's tears dropping to his cheek.

Bakugo's heart was breaking because Todoroki looked so sad.

"So...rry." The unwanted apology was barely audible.

Todoroki closed his eyes and collapsed on top of Bakugo. The firm hold on him was lost.

"Hey... Wake up."

Bakugo shook Todoroki's body harshly. He didn't want to accept reality. He didn't want to believe his Shoto was gone.

"One down. Now it's your turn, brat! Now stop being under him all the time and just let me kill you. Or do you want his body to get minced?!"

He only felt anger and hate from the bottom of his gut. He was so disgusted with the bastard that killed Todoroki.

Kill. I have to kill this fuck.

He could feel insane power coursing through his body. He laid Todoroki's body sideways. In that short opening of killing Bakugo, the villain threw spears to his way. In that instant, Bakugo deflected all of that he threw at him with bombs of explosion. The villain looked surprised, so he threw all kinds of weapon to him like a rainfall.

But Bakugo deflected it all.

At that moment, Bakugo's line of sight was just fucking red, his heart was beating abnormally, and he could not think of anything but to kill the bastards that made him grieve. He just wanted to tear them apart.

Bakugo panted harshly as his sight and heartbeat returned to normal. The two villains in front of him were dead, heads and body parts scattered on the ground. He felt so satisfied. He managed to kill the fucks that destroyed his life.

Bakugo felt really lightheaded and fell to the ground. He could feel blood flowing out of his body. He noticed he had some heavy wounds and he could feel traces of blades pricking his back and arms. He really didn't remember anything. The strain of using that power was also too hard on him. His whole body was aching, his head was pounding, and his heart was throbbing. He could feel his consciousness was fading, but he could not fall now. He had to go to Todoroki.

Bakugo crawled his way to Todoroki, leaving a trail of blood in a straight line. He struggled for his consciousness until he could reach him.

He sat up and removed the spears that were piercing cruelly on Todoroki's body. He laid him down in his lap and squeezed Todoroki's face. He cried once again.

Bakugo could only feel deep pain, despair, and sadness from the bottom of his gut. He just couldn't believe it. The only thing that he wanted was just for Todoroki to survive. He had sworn to protect him. He swore to protect him but he couldn't even do anything. Why had it come to this? He just felt so hopeless, was there even a meaning to continue his life?

He got down and sobbed in Todoroki's chest.

It was then that he could feel a faint breath, much like a wheeze.

Was he alive? Bakugo didn't waste time and immediately checked his pulse from his wrist.

It's faint, but it's still beating weakly.

Bakugo lightened up as there was still a ray of hope. He thought of something as he searched for Todoroki's cellphone from his pocket.

Bakugo noticed his eyelids were already half closed. His body was already nearing its limit. He quickly searched for Endeavor's contact and sent their location and a message written 'SOS', barely making it time before he passed out.

Bakugo opened his eyes heavily. His body was aching, but fortunately he could move his body properly. He noticed the IV catheter sticking out on his hand. Was he on a hospital? What about...

Bakugo jerked off from his bed, removed the IV from his hand abruptly, got out and searched for someone he knew. He spotted Endeavor leaning against a chair wearily and 2 other people beside him. It must be the Todoroki family.

"Endeavor! Where is Sho... where is Todoroki?" Bakugo shouted frantically.

"Bakugo... Shoto asked for you. He's gained consciousness yesterday, but he's on the brink of death... He's on room 350. Please go to him." Endeavor looked like he's holding his tears. The other two who seemed to be Todoroki's brother and sister already looked so broken. Bakugo only bowed at them, unable to say anything. He ran as fast as he could to the said room, ignoring the warnings from the nurse he passed by.

As he reached the room, Bakugo couldn't help but retraced the event that made everything crumble the way it was. He cursed himself for his helplessness. Right now, he just hoped everything would be fine, he hoped Todoroki could recover. He hoped everything would go back to the way it was.

But his hope was shattered.

As he entered the room, a lot of large pipes were inside his open wounds, oxygen tube covering his nose and mouth, and cables sticking to his chest. There were so many equipments around Todoroki that Bakugo didn't recognize.

Seeing Todoroki's state, Bakugo could only walk frantically as he pulled a chair and sat beside him.

"Shoto... Can you hear me?"

He stared right into Bakugo's eyes and smiled.

"You're here... You survived..." Todoroki said in a raspy voice, his eyes glimpsed with relief.

"I'm here you dumbass... and I only survived because of you." He intertwined his fingers with Todoroki's lifeless ones and held it tight.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I was so helpless that I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry you had to protect me." Bakugo scrunched his eyebrows and frowned at his own inability.

"I never once regretted my decision to protect you. I'm glad that you survived. And in the end, you only come out alive because of your power."

"But—"

"Look love, I don't have much time left. I just want you to know that I love you so much, and I have never regretted spending time with you on my life." Todoroki stroked Bakugo's cheek.

"I love you too... but what the fuck are you saying... You have to live, Shoto. I know you can survive." Tears were streaming down his cheeks. He wondered just how many times he cried already.

Todoroki just smiled softly.

"Katsuki. I now entrusted you with this life of mine. You have to keep on living, ok? Don't worry, we'll meet again as new people in new life. Although if I died now, I'll be old and you'll be young. But you'll still love me right?" Todoroki smiled.

"Of course you idiot... I'll love you as many times as you like."

"I believe that you will become the greatest hero one day, love. I really, really, love you." Todoroki started crying too. They hugged and hold each other tightly, unable to let go. They sobbed loudly at each other's shoulder, grieving on the cruel fate that had befallen them both.

As they held each other, Todoroki's grip was slowly getting weaker, like his energy was getting sucked out of him.

Then it came.

The sound of death.

Todoroki's heart had stopped beating. The hand that was on Bakugo's clutch was losing its strength completely.

"Oi Shoto!" Bakugo shook Todoroki's body harshly, but there was no respond.

Bakugo screamed in agony as he realized the hurtful truth.

This time, Todoroki was really gone. Forever.

He was only left with nothing but the husk of his lover.

He really only wanted to be with him. He loved him, that icyhot. He loved his smile, his hugs, his kisses, all of him. He just couldn't stand the thought of living without Todoroki.

His mind was getting clouded.

Meeting him again now wouldn't be so bad.

Bakugo grabbed a knife at a table. He returned to his seat and intertwined their fingers once again.

"Shoto, I'm sorry this life you entrusted will go to waste. I can't go on." He held his hand more firmly.

"I believe in reincarnation... I really do. We will meet again in the next life."

He closed the gap between the knife and his veins on his wrist...

And swiftly slit it off.

Blood was flowing out of his wrist, staining the hospital sheets red.

"I love you, Shoto. I'm so fucking in love with you, I can't help it." He smiled weakly toward Todoroki's dead body.

Bakugo was starting to feel really lightheaded of the blood loss and he could feel his consciousness slowly fading away.

We'll meet again.

And then there was only black.

A/N: I made this reincarnation themed, so I want to make this like a series of one shots AU of TodoBaku. Though this chapter was an exception, since the first chapter began with their original lives but the next and the next will be AU. I made it so that Bakugo and Todoroki had already in love hard with each other in this chapter, but it wouldn't be the same with the other.

Reviews and suggestion are very much appreciated.

Thanks for reading and loving TodoBaku!
