Todoroki is a good looking guy and Bakugou Katsuki knows it. He just wishes that everyone else in UA didn't know it too.
He stalks in, almost tripping over a stray pair of feet, and heads straight to the thick of the crowd where most of class 3-A is gawking together. “Oi,” he calls out. “What the hell are you shitty extras doing?”
“Bakugou!” Bug eyes perks up when she sees him, bouncing up and grabbing his arm. “We're enjoying the show!”
“The hell are you talking about,” He grunts, trying to shake her off. She points with her other hand and Katsuki follows her gaze only to see-
Only to see…
Holy fuck.

I’m in multi-shipper hell. I was thinking about how I prefer bakudeku plus third wheel Todoroki...but who do I prefer Todoroki with?
I love a lot of Todoroki ships so my brain basically said “todo-bowl?” But then I remembered momojirou and ochamina plus the fact that I like the hc that Todoroki dates men because he prefers to and it makes his dad angry, so I one upped my original thought with Todoroki has a all-male harem.
I’m thinking of Kirishima, Sero, Kaminari, Inasa, and Iida all trying to woo him, and he’s oblivious to it. Bakudeku KNOW (about all of them) and make jokes about Todo having a harem all the time and the jokes just fly over his head.
Eventually he finds out about all of their efforts to woo him, and he likes all of them equally so he’s like “why can’t I be with all of you?” because he’s socially dumb and doesn’t understand that there’s stigma behind polyamory. But all of them are accepting of it and Todoroki has a lot of love to share and he receives a lot in return.
A deltatops hc collaboration with @deltagamer6 and @todorokitops! :D
Inspired by this gorgeous fanart of body-swapped Shouto and Denki. Go show it some love! <3
Also here’s our first deltatops hc collab, in which Katsuki’s drawn to green things automatically because he’s so used to being next to Izuku since he was little (based off of the many instances he could LITERALLY be anywhere else in the manga, but chooses to sit/stand next to his rival like the dumbass he is)
Btw, below you’ll see the letters T and D, which refer to our individual contributions to the hc (T for ttops and D for delta), so hopefully that explains it a bit. If there’s a bulletpoint without a T or D, it usually follows on from the person in the last one. And as always, this will be very long! :)
T - let’s just skip the technicalities of how they ended up this way and say that while waiting for the body-swapping Quirk’s effects to wear off, they’re just doing everything as they would if they were in their own bodies
D - imagine the shock when Shouto realises Denki’s black lightning bolt is actually like dyed not natural so he panics and tries to redye it himself - and just walks into class with half black half blond hair like “I missed it”
T - Denki’s like “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HAIR” and a day later he comes in and all his hair is now red apart from a white lightning bolt on one side like “now we’re even”
D - Shouto narrows his eyes and next day walks into class with grey-and blue-coloured contacts
T - Denki’s like “okay I see how it is” and next day shows up with amber-coloured contacts - everyone in 1a panics bc FUCK?? I MEAN THEY KNEW THEY WERE PRETTY BUT SHOUTO WITH DENKI’S AMBER EYES? DENKI WITH SHOUTO’S HETEROCHROMATIC EYES?? D E A D
Every time one of them makes eye contact with them, they just start shaking - Shouto drops his pen and Izuku picks it up for him to hand back, but when their eyes meet, Denki’s hair falls over his heterochromatic eyes and “shit I’m gay” “I’m sorry what” “nothing, Kami- Todoroki!”
D - someone: hey Midoriya what’s your type
Izuku, thinking about Denki’s sunshine playful energy with Shouto’s body: I... I have no idea anymore
T - likewise with Katsuki pinning Denki to the floor in training after a long fight - he looks down victoriously at him and the smirk drops off his face when those amber eyes look into his and WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE SHITTY FEELINGS
D - bonus points if neither has any idea what they’re doing to the class so they just keep swapping colours and themes while everyone else sobs - Shouto switches Denki’s costume colours to blue with white accents, and Denki changes Shouto’s to black and gold
D - Shouto would totally use Denki’s 1.4 million volts and not go stupid mode which is the source of Kyouka’s jokes for the rest of forever
D - on the battlefield, instead of the trash talking and the cheeky grin, it’s just ‘Denki’ with a neutral face and complete composure as he quickly and effectively takes down his opponent - like he’s training with Kyouka and she’s already preparing her comeback and Shouto’s just like “you did really well today” and she’s like “oh??? uh... y-yeah you too”
T - Shouto saying “the difference between our abilities is too large” but it’s with Denki’s voice and FUCK WHY IS THAT SO HOT - meanwhile, Denki fighting Hanta like “whoa, dude! Almost had me there!” “Too slow!” “Man, these powers are so fucking cool” - he keeps winning too, because 1) Shouto’s abilities are fucking limitless so long as he uses both his sides to balance out the other and 2) his opponents are so thrown off just listening to ‘Shouto’ trash talk them, grinning and giggling throughout the fight at how cool his powers are
D - Izuku, analysing his spar: okay, Todoroki always uses his ice side first. I should attack him from the right to begin
Denki, who has none of the emotional baggage: HOLY SHIT THESE FLAMES CAN GO SO FAR AHAHAHA
Denki wins just by being so chaotic that no one can touch him
Shouto with Shouto powers: I need to regulate my usage so I don’t wear out
Denki with Shouto powers: BRO I’M SKATING ON ICE- [wears himself out and the ice stops so he falls on his face] ow
They both just use their Quirks in ways the other never even thought of
T - Denki cools his right hand and puts it on everyone’s neck and laughs maniacally as they yelp - everyone’s shook x10 because of the prank and the fact they’ve never heard Shouto laugh that evilly, or laugh that loudly, really
Shouto’s just walking to class when he feels a snowball hit the back of his head and he’s like “but it’s July?” then he turns around to see Denki standing there grinning, one hand tossing up another snowball he’s obviously just made “dude, you’re wasting your abilities! Do you know how many pranks I could play using this? Holy shit” - he makes the mistake of throwing one at Katsuki who turns around like “I KNOW THAT WAS YOU ICY HOT BASTARD” and they’re both like “which one?” “DUNCE- HALF- ICY SHOCK- FUCKKKKK”
D - Denki will randomly just burn something - like Aizawa hands them homework and Denki just looks him in the eye and lights it up
Denki, on his 6th day of detention: so worth it
T - Shouto: I hope that goes on your permanent record and not mine
T - Denki is incredibly easy to startle - when he was in his own body, anyone who surprised him would end up electric shocked, with static and singed hair - imagine this, but now he’s in Shouto’s body
Mina: DENKI ARE YOU SERIOUS????
Denki: I SAW A SPIDER WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO???
Mina: NOT FREEZE THE ENTIRE KITCHEN AND SET OFF THE FIRE ALARM AT THE SAME TIME!!!
Btw she’s saying this as the entirety of a sleepy class 1a stands outside the dorm building in their pyjamas, shivering at 10pm (bc Denki likes late night snacks), with a pink blanket wrapped around her, and the fire alarm still blaring inside
D - for the record, the spider was placed there by Hanta who is WELL AWARE of what he was doing - it was just some 99 cent thing he got from a Halloween store
T - Also, Hanta 100% goes up to Denki and asks “So.” “So?” “Is it... half and half THERE as well?” he motions downwards, and Denki gets what he means instantly and whispers “yup”
Catch him sobbing one day bc “Kaminari, what happened? Are you okay?” and he sniffles and shows Shouto his melted Nintendo Switch “I got too passionate and- and this happened...” “oh, that’s all?” “THAT’S ALL? TODOROKI, THIS SWITCH IS MY LIFE!” “ah, I just meant, I have Endeavour’s credit card... we could go to the store after school and buy you a new one” “you- you’d do that for me?” “why not? plus it’ll piss him off. Just act like me and they won’t suspect a thing” “gotcha! Wait, let me get in the zone - hello, my name is Todoroki Shouto, and my dad is a bitch” - Shouto snickers “Perfect. Now let’s go get your Switch.”
T - no one can get used to how touchy Denki is in Shouto’s body - Shouto is Never this affectionate - but Denki still throws arms over people’s shoulders, gives Izuku noogies, and walks around in oversized hoodies like he usually does
T - he also has this habit of sticking his tongue out to the side when he's focused on something and everyone’s just fascinated bc Shouto’s Never done that before either - Denki looks up from his video game like “what? What’s everyone staring at?” and they all jolt and turn back around at the speed of light
T - Denki for sure goes around to other classes who have no idea that they swapped going “OH THAT KAMINARI DUDE SURE IS COOL! AND RIPPED! AND IS GONNA BE A GREAT PRO HERO ONE DAY!” and Kyouka walks up to him like “Denks, you do know you’re not fooling anyone, right? Todoroki has never once spoken like that” “Damn, you’re right. Eh, it was worth a try. ...Whoa.” “What?” “Just realised how tall I am now. Aww... you’re tiny!” “Bro, why?” “I mean I still thought you were pretty short before, but now it’s like WOW YOU’RE REALLY SMALL” “WILL YOU QUIT IT??”
T - No one can get used to him saying bro either
Denki: [runs up to Katsuki with a grin] hey, Bakubro!
Katsuki: [sputters as he turns around] B-Bakubro? What the FUCK ICYHOT YOU NEVER SAY THAT SHI- [sees him smiling and remembers] oh, it’s you, Dunce Face. Christ, keep forgetting you’re swapped. D’you know how fucking weird it is hearing the shit you say come outta the half and half bastard’s mouth?!
Denki: heh, sorry about that, bro
Katsuki: [shudders] don’t call me bro while you’re trapped in that body. Wait, scratch that. Don’t call me bro ever.
Denki: what??? [whining] aw, but brooooooooooo
Katsuki: [mutters, thoroughly freaked out by seeing Shouto make puppy dog eyes and pulling at his shirt (and how cute he looks)] what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck-
D - “WATCH IT HALF A... WAIT NO, I MEANT PIKA... FUCK YOU!”
D - he calls them both the same insult because he can’t be assed to remember
T - Icy Shock Bastard
Everyone still swarms Denki because his left side is warm, and because he loves physical contact, he’s a happy boi who will give out hugs to anyone - and a chance to hug 1a’s famous pretty boy? No one would pass that up
D - also I imagine Denki is aware of Shouto’s rep as the pretty boy so he goes to the gym and is like “BOY IT SURE IS WARM” and takes off his t-shirt, followed by Shouto trying to shock him into putting it back on
T - “Kaminari, you do know you can just cool yourself instead of taking off the shirt, right?”
T - Denki never knew how often Shouto shaves his legs and face bc or else he gets white and red hairs, so he just crashes into Shouto’s room, whining “Todorokiiiii, I’m too lazy to shaveeeeeee” and flops onto his bed
D - “You have to” “I don’t wanna” “You HAVE to” “Fiiiiiine” Shouto stares in horror as Denki walks into class with red and white stubble - he swears his reputation is ruined, but everyone is like “oh shit that hot”
T - and then we get that Bonding Moment TM when Shouto helps his stubborn ass shave
“Dude this is kind of awkward... you shaving my leg I mean” “it’s not really that strange if you think about it, Kaminari. It’s my body, after all. Now hold still or I’ll wound myself” “r-right”
D - “I-I just think it’s weird you’re seeing me so undressed” “I literally have to take showers, Kaminari, we’re well past that point”
T - [coughs, trying to be confident again] “well, like what you see?” “...I’m not answering that”
T - Denki bursts into Shouto’s room one morning and Shouto’s all groggy like “what do you want...” and he’s all sunshiney and smiley (I know in Hori’s art he's sleepy in the mornings but for the sake of this hc let’s just say he’s an early riser shhh) like “we gotta do my facial routine!” “your what? Kaminari, it’s not even 8:30am yet...” “perfect skin waits for no one! I’ve got my stuff so let’s go!” - Shouto just nuzzles deeper into his pillow “no, ’m sleepy” and Denki pouts and lowers his bag of toiletries, squatting next to the bed, eye-level with Shouto
He giggles and Shouto opens one eye “...what now” “I never knew how cute I looked when I sleep” Shouto snorts and even allows a little smile at that “I never knew how cheerful I could look in the mornings either”
“come on, I shaved my legs for you...” Shouto’s voice muffled into the pillow as he turns around and pulls his blankets up “actually, I shaved my legs for me” “okay but still” “...” “pretty please?” Shouto sighs and pulls the blankets down “fine, alright, let’s go” “yay!” “...you’re too enthusiastic in the mornings, Kaminari”
Denki and Shouto standing next to each other in front of the mirror as Denki does his facial routine on Shouto’s face and get Shouto to follow along and learn at the same time (so both their faces are covered in cream and face masks, their hair pinned back with clips and headbands) “you’ll love it! It leaves your face feeling moist and fresh!” “I never knew you were so into skincare...” “hey! I work hard to get my skin this clear!”
D - “well what do you do Shouto?” “hm?” “for your skin, I mean. I mean look at how clear it is” “ah, nothing” “huh?” “I just take showers...” “...I hate you”
T - “at least you don’t have to shave every week, Kaminari” “that’s true. I have a natural baby face. I don’t think I’ll ever be physically capable of growing facial hair” Shouto looks at him with his face mask on and murder in his eyes “so I guess we’re even”
Bonus points tho if Denki manages to make him laugh at some point and Shouto tries his best not to for fear of cracking the mask but he just can’t resist and well, there goes part of it
D - a bunch of little things like Denki looking in the mirror and being like “I’m fixing this” and just completely redoing Shouto’s look like “dude, you’ve never used hair gel?! Okay watch this I’m gonna blow your mind” and he parts it so the white side covers more of his red ’cause he knows how much Shouto hates his dad
T - “ah, ok, I see. So I can experiment with your hair too?” “sure dude! Whatever you want!” and the next day, Shouto walks into class with his hair in a braid - everyone stares and even Denki is like “w-wh-wh- you braided my hair?” Shouto nods “mm, I never had hair this long before so I tried to braid some of it... do you not like it? I can take it out if you don’t-” “-NO! I- I mean, I was just surprised. But it’s pretty. I like it.” “oh, good, that’s a relief” - everyone else in class sighs in relief as well because Denki with braided hair is a blessing
Denki comes in one day with Shouto’s hair clipped to the sides and he sits down at his seat and pulls out his books, not noticing everyone staring - Shouto asks “no gel today? I thought it helped keep the hair out of your face” “ah well... I ran out so I had to pull out some clips I had. Do you want me to take them out?” “No, that’s alright. I think they look nice on you - me - too. ...Did I just compliment myself?” “pffft you sure did, bro” “huh”
T - suddenly hair clip Shouto and braid Denki have become pretty much the norm for class 1a, not like it kills them any less every time they see them
D - there was a funeral when they swapped back for the best hairstyles that would never be worn again - and the rest of class 1a is just sitting there like “...oh my god I can’t deal with this any longer” “Momo you can make nonliving things right? “yes, why?” “can you make us alcoh-” “-no”
T - they have a literal support group over this - just meeting at a café to rant about how difficult it is to Deal with those two
Katsuki: hold the fuck up. I came to this damn meeting because I thought it was gonna be a place to complain about those confusing bastards.
Katsuki: BUT ALL YOU SHITTY EXTRAS ARE DOING IS GUSHING ABOUT HOW HOT THEY ARE AS EACH OTHER WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU-
and then Izuku’s like: come on, Kacchan. You’re really gonna sit there and tell me over the last two weeks you haven’t felt the slightest bit attracted to either of them?
Katsuki: [opens his mouth] [shuts it and drinks his coffee in angry silence]
D - or like “WHY THE FUCK WOULD I LIKE PIKACHU WEARING HIS HAIR IN A BRAID AND LOOKING STUDIOUS AND WEARING COLOURED CONTACTS AND- AND... fuck”
T - Hanta just pats his back “there, there, buddy, welcome to the club”
