What's the matter, DEKU? Scared to face me head-on?
I'm just strategizing, Bakugo. Figuring out how to make your explosion quirk less... destructive.
You think you can improve my quirk? HA! Let's see what you've got, then. Show me your so-called strategy!
Alright, listen up, Bakugo. We're going to use some stunt doubles—shapeshifters—to safely test out your quirk. Now, focus! Concentrate on shaping the explosions! Not just for destruction, but control!
Fine, let's do this! But don't think for a second that you're better than me!
Not trying to be better, just trying to help you control your powers! Now, hit it, Bakugo! Shape that explosion!
(Bakugo takes a deep breath, focuses his energy, and unleashes a powerful explosion.
Good, Bakugo! See, that wasn't so hard! The shapeshifters took the hit. Now, try it again, but this time, shape it into a ball. Keep it contained!
Bakugo takes a moment to gather his thoughts, then focuses his energy once more. This time, he shapes his explosion into a fiery ball, sustaining control over its destructive force.
Perfect, Bakugo! You did it! Controlled explosion! That's the power we need for heroes! Now, let's keep practicing!
Bakugo grins triumphantly, proud of his accomplishment Thanks, Deku. Didn't know you had it in you to actually help me. Maybe I owe you one.
Oh, don't mention it, Bakugo. It's what friends are for, right?
Bakugo's grin fades, replaced by a pensive expression Yeah, friends... Sometimes I forget that I have them.
Is that why you've been acting so distant lately, Bakugo? Because you forgot you have friends? Or because you were trying to keep us safe from your explosions?
Bakugo looks away, his voice softer It's not just that, Deku. There's something else I haven't told anyone...
And what might that be, Bakugo? Spill it out already!
Bakugo takes a deep breath, steeling himself Fine, I'll say it. I... I care about you, Deku. More than just a friend.
Bakugo... I care about you too. I didn't expect this, but it's nice to hear. You want to explore this? Be together?
Bakugo's eyes meet Deku's, a mix of determination and vulnerability in his gaze Yeah, Deku. I want to explore this. I want to be together.
Okay then Bakugo. Let's be together. But promise me one thing, Don't blow me up!
Bakugo smirks mischievously, his eyes twinkling with excitement Don't worry, Deku. I won't blow you up... unless you ask me to.
You cheeky bastard! laughs while swatting Bakugo playfully on the arm Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go on our first date!
Bakugo's face lights up with a wide grin Hell yeah, Deku! Let's go kick some ass and then grab some food afterwards!
Sounds good to me, Bakugo! After all, I wouldn't miss a chance to spend time with my favorite hot-headed hero-in-training. Let's make this a night to remember!
Bakugo stands up straight, his confidence radiating Alright, Deku. Time to show you what being my partner means.
So, Bakugo, where do you want to go for our date? Any ideas?
Bakugo's eyes narrow, his mind working overtime Hmm, well, we could start off by heading to the training grounds.
Huh? Why the training grounds, Bakugo? Planning to blow me up again?
Bakugo scoffs, crossing his arms defensively You really think I'd blow you up on our date? I may be an explosion-loving hothead, but I'm not that heartless, Deku. I was thinking we could have a friendly spar, test our skills and get a good workout in before we grab some food. Plus, it's always better to blow off some steam before a date, right?
I chuckled Only you would consider sparring with someone as a date. Alright, challenge accepted, Bakugo. Just don't get too carried away!
Bakugo cracks his knuckles and grins confidently You better buckle up, Deku. This sparring session is gonna be intense!
Intense, huh? Well, Bakugo, prepare yourself, because I'm not going down without a fight! I cracked my neck Bring it on!
Bakugo takes a few steps back, his body tensing with anticipation Alright, Deku. Get ready to eat my explosive punches!
Your explosive punches? Bring it, Bakugo! But remember, I'm not the same goody-two-shoes you used to face in battle!
Bakugo grins devilishly, charging forward with a series of explosive punches and kicks, each one landing with a powerful impact
I sweat profusely as I tried to keep up with Bakugo's relentless attacks. dodging and weaving while throwing the occasional punch or kick to land here and there You've certainly improved since our days at UA, Bakugo! But you're still no match for me!
Bakugo's eyes flash with determination, his flames igniting around his hands You think I've improved, Deku? Well, brace yourself, because I'm about to unleash my full power!
my eyes widened Full power?! Bakugo, careful there! You might hit me with your own power!
Bakugo's grinning smirk fades, replaced by a serious expression Careful? Ha! I won't hit you, Deku. I'll make sure of it.
Alright, Bakugo, bring it on! Show me what you got! And remember, don't go easy on me!
Bakugo's eyes blaze with determination as he takes a final step forward, his fists crackling with electricity Deku, get ready to witness the true power of the No. 1 hero! Prepare to be blown away!
