Hi! I saw that ur fic requests were open! If you don’t mind, can u do lee!Bakugou and lers!Todoroki and Midoriya. Bakugou keeps covering his mouth when he laughs and they want to see his face (or something like that, feel free to be creative). Ty and have a nice day ❤️
Oh this is utterly precious! I've gotcha covered, anon! :D I threw in a few tickles for Todoroki and Midoriya (and some implied Todobaku shhhh~) because it felt right :D I hope you like it!
Whenever the blonde found something especially funny, he would slap a hand over his mouth, shoulders shaking with restrained giggles. If not his hands he covers his face with his shirt, and if not that, he’ll fall into someone (usually Kirishima) and use their shoulder or chest to hide.
Midoriya found it rather endearing, laughing harder whenever Bakugou did so. Todoroki found it cute, but also confusing.
Bakugou had no problem baring his teeth on the day to day- why cover them up when laughing?
Back at the dorms and comfortably sitting in Bakugou’s bed, he felt like the time was right to ask such a question.
“Huh? I don’t cover my mouth!” Bakugou argued, irritated at the question. “Why do you even care, Icy-Hot?”
“You always cover your mouth.” Todoroki argued back. “You did it earlier.”
“No I didn’t!”
“Yes, you did.”
“He’s got a point, Kaachan- you do cover your mouth when you laugh.” Midoriya pointed out. “You’ve always done that since we were kids.”
“Shut the hell up, nerd! I don’t cover my mouth! Stop accusing me of hating my face!”
The pair blinked, staring in silence.
“Neither of us said that, Kaachan.” Midoriya pointed out.
So they hadn’t. Bakugou flushed.
“Fuck…” The blonde covered his face, clearly embarrassed. Something in his tone made the pair pause, sharing a concerned look. He sounded so…vulnerable.
“Kachaan?” Midoriya asked after a moment, reaching out before stopping halfway. Hesitantly, he patted Bakugou’s knee. “Are you alright?”
“Damnit nerd, of course I’m…” The blonde paused, something in Midoriya’s gaze shutting him up. Sighing, he flopped backwards against the worn pillows behind him, tossing his arms over his eyes. “I hate my face when I laugh.”
The confession took the pair by surprise. “What?”
“Don’t make me say it again…fine. I don’t like my face when I laugh. I look like a mass murderer.” Bakugou grumbled, a hint of insecurity entering his tone. “The one time I laughed around people, someone told me I had the face of a villain.”
“What? Who said that? Where are they?” Midoriya gasped in shock, a rare flicker of rage entering his eyes. Todoroki blinked. He was learning new sides to everyone today.
“That was years ago, nerd.” Bakugou waved him off. “I’m not even that bothered by it anymore.” When they waited, he sighed. “Okay, fine. I’m still bothered. I can’t look at a picture of myself laughing without thinking about it.”
“Kaachan…” Midoriya reached out and patted his friend’s knee. Todoroki hummed in thought, not really sure what to say. Comfort…wasn’t his strong suit.
“Remember when we fought that villain the other day? The Mr. Smiley guy?” He began, earning a groan from the pair. “Don’t remind us, Icy Hot.”
“Hold on, I have a point I swear.” He continued. “His quirk was to make us laugh, right? Well…at some point while we were chasing him he got you before he got me or Midoriya.”
“I’m going to blast you into the galaxy-”
“Kaachan.”
“We saw you laughing then.” Todoroki hurried up. “I saw what you looked like laughing.” He nodded. “I’ve seen many villains in our time here at U-A. You looked nothing like them.”
“Yeah!” Midoriya added, catching on. “Villains have really creepy smiles that install fear! You looked…” He paused. “Well…what did your laughing face look like?”
“Goofy.” Todoroki didn’t miss a beat.
“G-Goofy?” Bakugou sat up in shock, glaring. “Why I ought to-” Midoriya snorted, a hand slapping over his mouth as he shook with giggles. “Oi, you damn nerd, I’m gonna kick your ass!”
“I’m sorry! I’m sohohohorry!” Midoriya squeaked as Bakugou attacked, gently pushing him into the sheets as his fingers wormed along his sides. “Kahahhhahahcahhahhahan, wahhahahhait!”
“Wait nothing! You dare laugh in the face of King Explosion Murder? This is what you get!” He was grinning now- not his usual menacing one, but something much softer.
“Todoohoohohoohorohohohohohki, dohohohohoohoho sohoohohohohmethhiihihiihng!” Midoriya cried, reaching helplessly for his friend. His arm immediately retracted when Bakugou dug into that awful spot beneath his armpit, making him squeal. “Hehehehehehelp mehehehehehhe!”
“How?” Todoroki seemed genuinely lost.
“Tiihihihihiihckle hihhihiihm!”
“...Bakugou’s ticklish?” Todoroki looked at the explosive blonde, tilting his head curiously.
“Don’t you fucking dare, Icy Hot.” He replied coolly, not bothering to glare at him as he carried on his tickle attack. The rebellious side of Todoroki bloomed.
“Hang on, Midoriya!” He shot his hands out to Bakugou’s waist, squeezing rapidly. Immediately the blonde shot back with a squawk, falling into the comforter as he laughed hysterically. Now free from the other’s attack, Midoriya joined in, targeting Bakugou’s stomach and ribs. “Way to go Todoroki!”
“Gehahahahhahhhahaha! Fuuhuhuhuhuck! Stehahhahahahahhap iihihihihiihit! Dahahahahamn nehehehehhherds!” Bakugou howled, one hand slapped over his mouth while the other attempted to push the other’s hands away. Gently, Midoriya reached up and took the hand blocking his smile, holding it within his own. “Now now, don’t hide from us! Show us that smile!”
During the Mr. Smiley case, Todoroki didn’t have time to get a good look at Bakugou’s laughing face- mainly because he was too busy trying to capture the villain in question. Now, with no extra factors in play, he could finally take it in for what it was.
And god. What a face.
If Midoriya’s smile was like the sun, Bakugou’s was a burning inferno. Blazing and warm, beautiful to look at. Todoroki had no idea what that asshole from before meant when he said Bakugou looked like a villain.
To him, he looked like a god.
“Earth to Todoroki?” Fingers against his socked foot made him startle into reality, blinking as he met Midoriya’s smiling face. “Still with us?”
Something in his eyes felt knowing. Todoroki felt himself blush.
“Right, where were we?” He turned back to the giggly blonde, dropping his hands to Bakugou’s hips. “Oh yeah- destroying Bakugou.”
“Gehahahahahhahaha! Ghehehehehhet ohohohohohoff! Stehahhahahahahp it Iihiihihihicy Hohohohohohoht!” Bakugou wheezed, bucking beneath him while he struggled to escape. His cheeks were aflame, eyes squeezed shut with mirth. His smile was radiant as ever, much to Todoroki’s enjoyment.
“Now get Todoroki!” Midoriya suddenly yelled, twisting around and grabbing Todoroki’s foot. The traitor! It wasn’t long before they were having a full blown tickle fight, limbs flying and giggles of various levels filling the air around them.
“STehahahahhahahap ihihiihihihit! Gehehehhet ohohohoohohff my fheehheheheheet!”
“Ghehaha…hahah..ugh, I’m exhahausted.” Bakugou groaned, running a tired hand over his face. He was mostly on his bed, a leg hanging off the edge as he struggled to compose himself. Nearby, Midoriya had fallen off completely, curled up in a breathless ball with a giggly smile on his lips. On his otherside, he could partially see Todoroki hanging off the bed, sounding just as tired. “Yohohou two are nuts!”
“You started it!” Midoriya reminded him, yelping with a squeak when a pillow flew in his direction. “Rude!”
“Whatever.” Bakugou snorted. After a moment, he spoke again, his voice a tad quieter. “Do you…really think that? That I don’t look like a villain?”
“Farthest thing from one.” Todoroki reassured him.
“I thought you looked rather nice.” Midoriya added, grinning from across the bed. “Wouldn’t you say, Todoroki?”
Another pillow went flying at the green haired boy, then another. While the pair had their impromptu pillow fight, Bakugou felt himself relax against the bed, something warm spreading through his chest.
Not a villain, huh?
Maybe he could laugh without covering up after all.
