[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:]
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.]
[For a while, Bakugou doesn't answer, though Deku will see that he's definitely read every message. Why had he apologized? Why??? He swore he'd never apologize to anyone, let alone fucking Deku, and yet he'd typed it out and sent it. What the fuck. Is he coming down with something? That must be it. This is all just a fever dream. Yup. Must be it.
Except he knows damn fucking well that it isn't.
Finally, after seriously considering blowing his phone to pieces, he manages to type a response.]

no subject
Class B is pretty goddamn awful though.

You shouldn't judge them all by Monoma-kun
[Because he has a feeling that's what's happening here]

He's actually a pretty cool guy, once you get to know him! You should give him a chance, Kacchan.
no subject
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.

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

how did you get that out of what i just said?
no subject
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?
no subject
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!
no subject
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.
no subject
That's what I've been saying for months!!
no subject
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
no subject
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?
no subject
I'm fucking sorry, okay????

[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 ...

Deku faceplants face first into his pillow]

Except he knows damn fucking well that it isn't.
Finally, after seriously considering blowing his phone to pieces, he manages to type a response.]
