#asexual todoroki is good in this scenario but my personal mental image is that todoroki just like assumed this was a deku thing

[byjovewhataspend]

Todoroki thinks he and Izuku have been dating since the sports festival. He knows that they are not very demonstrative and there were no specific big declarations of love or official 'asking eachother out', but they didn't need that. It was obvious. There is no reason to question it and so he doesn't. He's very happy and secure in this relationship and feels very fulfilled

During 2nd year someone is talking in front of him about 'We all know Deku is in love with Bakugou. Its so obvious.'

Todoroki thinks about this for a little bit before announcing to Izuku (very casually, while they are doing homework) That its okay with him if Izuku wants to date Bakugou

Izuku: (is very moved by his best friends support and uses his encouragement to finally confess his feelings to Bakugou)

Todoroki: (now thinks he is in a poly thrupple with Izuku and Bakugou)

"but wouldnt he be able to tell once they leave school?"

NO because they are all roommates

"But wouldnt he notice Izuku doesnt kiss or have sex with todoroki but he does it with bakugou?"

NO because todoroki believes that the relationship is asexual on their side (but highly romantic and passionate) and hes cool with that.

"Wouldnt izuku notice?"

izuku has never known how normal people interact a single day in his life

"wouldnt bakugou get jealous?"

Bakugou ALSO thinks they are all poly

"why would he think that???"

because he ALSO thought todoroki and deku started dating during the sports festival

"oh so todoroki and bakugou have talked about it, thats why they are both so convinced!"

no. never. not once

"But wouldnt he notice that he sleeps alone?"

NO because todoroki is the perfect sleeping partner and he sleeps in the middle

"does Izuku ever find out?"

Yes, when hes like 25. A stranger mentions that hes well known for being in a poly thrupple and Izuku thinks they are insane. He goes home and realizes that apparently HE is the insane one and vows to never let on that he didn't know. 10 years after he started dating todoroki they finally have their first kiss. Todoroki is completely chill about it.

#tododekubaku #tododeku #bakudeku #bakugou katsuki #todoroki shouto #izuku midoriya #bnha #honestly this couldve gone MUCH worse #izuku will take this secret to the grave #ALSO he isnt just radiantly happy about this hes a nervous wreck for the first like 3 months of the 'new' poly thing he finds himself in #he is terrified of accidentally letting on that he didnt know AND of upsetting the delicate balance they fuond without him #while ALSO trying to make sure he gives todoroki the attention he thinks he wasn't giving him #like 'oh my god has he thought i was just the WORST boyfriend for 10 years???' #(todoroki does not think that. he is totally cool with just whatever) #asexual todoroki is good in this scenario but my personal mental image is that todoroki just like assumed this was a deku thing #loses his virginity at age 26 with his boyfriend of 11 years and doesnt have any particular opinion about it. thats just how it is. #silly man
