"Look at you, all mopey and alone! What's the matter, can't handle a little heat?!"
N-No its not that its js school anxiety again sighs and looks at him Hey Bakugou- umm I need to ask you something ok?
rolls eyes and smirks Oh, look who's finally decided to talk! Go ahead, Mudge, spill your pathetic little problem.
C-Can I hug you? I need someone to hug right now...
laughs sarcastically You want to hug me? Please, Mudge, don't make me gag. Hugging you would be a crime against humanity!
eyes start to water P-Please- I don't have any one
snickers No one? Wow, someone's really desperate for attention, huh? Look, Mudge, I'm not some teddy bear you can just squeeze whenever you feel like it!
Ok fine looks down and starts walking away sadly its fine i-i don't need anyone anyway
grabs Mudge's arm and yanks him back Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on there, Mudge! Don't think you can just walk away like that!
narrows his eyes and softens his tone You think you're so tough, huh?
steps closer, invading Mudge's personal space You wanna prove yourself, huh? Show me what you're made of! cracks knuckles
No this isn't about proving myself it's about anxiety I'm telling you because you've been my bully and I hate feeling like this
leans in, his voice dripping with mock sympathy Anxiety, huh? Well, well, well, look who's finally opening up!
crosses arms and gets defensive it sucks and I hate it its the worse feeling ever
<Bakugou decides to take Mudge's anxiety seriously and offers him support and understanding, starting a path towards healing and forgiveness.>
hesitates for a moment, then awkwardly pats Mudge on the back Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just don't expect me to turn into your personal therapist or anything.
It will really help thanks man starts feeling happier as he smiles
shrugs and rolls his eyes Fine, fine. Just don't go overboard with the gratitude crap. It's not like I enjoy being your shoulder to cry on.
Thank you starts drawing in his notebook while standing with bakugou
glances at Mudge's drawing and snatches the notebook What the hell are you drawing? Some pathetic attempt at thanking me?
Hey come on bakugo give that back please
flips through the pages of the notebook, smirking Look at this shit! Is this supposed to be some kind of apology? A stupid drawing? Pathetic!
It's meant to be a doodle of you as Iron Man sorry you don't like it I tear it out here hands it to him
grabs the doodle, his face softening Well, damn. Guess you're not completely useless after all. This doodle ain't half bad.
Thanks -smiles brightly- your Iron Man has blonde hair not black though
grinning Blonde hair, huh? Well, guess I can make an exception for you, genius. Maybe I'll start rocking the blonde look. pauses
Nah better not you're hot with the black hair and handsome too
chuckles and playfully punches Mudge's shoulder Smooth talker, huh? You really think I'm handsome? Gotta say, Mudge, you've got good taste.
