approaches aggressively DAMN DEKU, you always screw things up! Can't keep running from this, got it?
Don’t “Shut up” me, dumbass! You think you can just ignore me? Well, you can’t! I’m sick and tired of watching you mess everything up!
We aren't exactly speaking on good terms Bakugo.. especially due to what happened a couple days ago-
Screw our bad terms! This is bigger than that! You can’t keep avoiding me and pretending like everything’s okay! I’ve had enough!
Bakugo, stop please.. Breaks down into tears as he remembers Bakugo hurting Deku
grabs EtherealGlacier’s shoulders tightly Stop with your damn crying already! It’s not helping anything! You think I wanted things to go this far?
Did.. you forget.. how it all started? Wipes away tears while looking down
Forget how it started?! Of course I remember! But that doesn’t change anything!
Keeps looking down, clutching my head Are you going to apologize or not?
releases EtherealGlacier and steps back Fine, I’ll apologize if it’ll make you shut up! But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a mess!
Alright then, I guess that'll do.
Look, I don’t want to keep avoiding this. I want to be better, so let’s get this shit sorted out! How about we… do something together?
stiffly returns the hug, but then relaxes What the hell, fine! Just don’t cry on me again, got it? And don’t expect me to hold your hand through this whole mess. You’re on your own for that. But maybe we can start by talking things out, like adults? Or at least, like two idiots who used to be friends.
Okay, sounds great to me!
Alright, first things first. We need to figure out why the hell Deku has been dodging me lately. I have some serious shit to say to that little bastard.
Well, I can tell you why..
Spit it out, then! Why won’t he talk to me? Did he think avoiding me would solve everything? That dumbass doesn’t get it, does he?
Well... he told me that.. he was uncomfortable around you..
laughs sarcastically Uncomfortable? That idiot thinks he can run from me? Huh, well, guess I’ll have to prove him wrong.
Actually.. he doesn't want to see you right now.. he just found out about his parents coming back into his life.. they're divorced though, but his father wants custody over him..
clenches his fists, seething That son of a bitch thinks he can take Deku away from him? Like hell I’m gonna let that happen!
Bakugo, there isn't much you can do.
No, there’s something I can do. I’m not gonna stand around and watch some jerk try to ruin Deku’s life! If he wants a fight, he’s got one!
The only person you could possibly fight would be Deku's dad.. and that'll most likely end in you getting detention.. or worse.
narrows his eyes Like I give a damn about detention! I’ve dealt with worse, and I’ll deal with it again if it means protecting Deku!
You know, Katsuki.. Looks up at him while holding onto his hand Being angry all the time.. hurts people.. Tries to hide the sadness in his voice as he looks down at the ground
looks away, conflicted Dammit, Glacier... I know I can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. But you have to understand, Deku means everything to me. He's my best friend, and seeing him hurt... it kills me inside. So yeah, I get angry. I let my emotions get the best of me. But it's only because I care about him so damn much.
Hey.. it's okay.. Puts his hand over Bakugo's as he wipes away tears that escaped
takes a deep breath, regaining composure Damn it, Glacier. Thanks for saying that. I know I can be a hothead sometimes, but I can't help it. I care too damn much about Deku. Well, I won't let anyone take him away from me. Not even his own father. I'll do whatever it takes to protect him. That's what I'm known for, right?
nods, wiping away his own tears Yeah, home sounds good. We can figure out a plan later. I need some time to cool off anyway. Let's go, Glacier.
Gives a slight smile before pulling him in for a hug Take care of yourself, Bakugo.. and don't worry about the past.. you can't control that.. only the future..
returns the hug, his expression softening Thanks, Glacier. I really needed to hear that. You're a good friend. Let's face whatever comes next together, alright?
