Oh. I do, but...

Hmmm

It's a bit different

[Iida and Uraraka worry about him a lot. Todoroki, on the other hand, would probably just assume that Deku already had everything under control.]

[blastymcsplode]

Is it?

Everyone likes your nerdy ass, don't they?

1/2

[herolatry]

Huh?

Th-That's overstating things a little, isn't it???

[herolatry]

I guess it is pretty different to middle school, though.

I'm really glad. Our whole class is full of really amazing people.

[blastymcsplode]

They're not all fucking terrible, I guess.

Class B is pretty goddamn awful though.

[herolatry]

Ahaha

You shouldn't judge them all by Monoma-kun

[Because he has a feeling that's what's happening here]

[blastymcsplode]

Mind control boy was pretty fucking weird too.

[herolatry]

Shinsou-kun?

He's actually a pretty cool guy, once you get to know him! You should give him a chance, Kacchan.

[blastymcsplode]

[No, Izuku, he's physically incapable of being friendly to more than one or two people ever. At least he'll claim that's the case.

God. He eye rolls at just how accepting Deku is of fucking everyone.]

Just because you get along with everyone doesn't mean I will, Deku.

[herolatry]

I don't get along with everyone.

[blastymcsplode]

Sure as hell seems like you do.

Unless you're taking a jab at me by saying that.

[herolatry]

How is it a jab if it's the truth???

Ever since we were kids, it's been like--

I don't know!

The more I wanted to be friends with you, the more we didn't get along!

[blastymcsplode]

Do you hate me, Deku?

[herolatry]

[??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

???????????????????????????????????????????????????

no???

[he's so bamboozled by that question that it takes him a few minutes to even be able to type anything else

look, if he's speaking honestly, if you'd asked him during middle school-- yes, he might have hated Bakugou, just a little. but mixed in with that was also jealousy, and admiration, and the desire to be noticed and respected. it's complicated. but more importantly:]

how did you get that out of what i just said?

[blastymcsplode]

Most people don't want to be buddies with their fucking childhood bullies, Deku.

You could've told me to fuck off and die plenty of times by now.

Why the hell do you still care about being friends?

[herolatry]

Seriously??

I swear, talking to you is like talking to a brick wall sometimes, Kacchan

Look

Yes, it's complicated

I hate the way you treated me in primary and middle school

It sucked

But

I can't help it, I still admire you

This isn't even new information! I've said it before. You just don't listen!

[blastymcsplode]

I don't fucking get you, Deku.

I don't get it, because if I were you I'd hate my fucking guts.

But you don't.

God you're such fucking nerd.

Whatever. I'm done talking about old shit.

Let's just start the fuck over.

[herolatry]

[Okay, now that does make him mad, for some reason he can't really work out. Isn't this what he wanted?]

That's what I've been saying for months!!

[blastymcsplode]

Listen Deku

I'm trying my fucking hardest not to flip my shit on you right now

We're fucking dropping the past right now or I'm done talking

[herolatry]

No, you listen!

I've been trying to move forward from the past now and get you to drop it since the day we entered UA!

You're the one who's always been clinging onto it!

And now that it's convenient for you-- now you want to forget about it?

[blastymcsplode]

[Don't explode don't explode don't explode don't....]

I'm fucking sorry, okay????

1/??????????

[herolatry]

[what]

[herolatry]

[WHAT???]

[IS THIS THE REAL LIFE?

IS THIS JUST FANTASY--]

[herolatry]

[caught in a landsliiiiiide

no escape from reALitYYYYYYyyyyyy............]



[Deku just stares at his phone some more

and stares

and stares

and then slaps himself in the face a couple of times to check that he's awake and not dreaming, because, this seems, suspiciously unreal]

Ow...

[Before finally texting back:]

... Thank you ...

But

[herolatry]

I didn't say those thing because I wanted an apology

[TRUTHFULLY, HE JUST ASSUMED HE'D NEVER GET ONE, because that's just the way that Kacchan rolls, shruggo]

I said it because

If we're going to move forward, I don't want it to be because we have the kind of friendship where we just act like the past never happened and everything is fine and normal now

That would be weird

And fake

I'd prefer a friendship where both people can acknowledge the past honestly! And... see how far they've come, and grown, since then.

[Because, an apology from Bakugou is no small thing, that's for sure.]
