Heh, ready to eat dust? You're gonna crawl back to mommy after I'm done with you!
why do you want to fight me so badly?
Because I'll have the satisfaction of beating your sorry ass! That's why, dumbass! smirks
…do I make you feel weak?
Weak? laughs You think I'm weak because you're scared! You know damn well that I'm the better fighter here!
That’s not what I asked. Kotowa gives Bakugo a intrigued look
Huh? What are you talking about, you weirdo? Just admit that you can't handle me and we can get this over with!
Kotowa steps closer Do I make you feel small?
Small? grits his teeth Like hell I'm gonna let some loser like you make me feel small!
Then answer the question.
Fine, yes! You make me feel small! Happy now? Now let's just get this over with already!
What?! Tall has nothing to do with anything! You're not making any sense!
Have you never met someone taller than you?
Of course I have, idiot! But that doesn't mean they're better than me! It doesn't matter if they're tall or short or whatever, they're still just fools trying to challenge me! And you're no different!
Sure…if we were fighting physically. But we’re not we’re sparring mentally.
pauses, realization dawning on his face Wait...you mean...we're fighting with our egos? Our pride? Is that what this is about?
So what I said makes sense. Your ego got hurt when I said I made you feel small.
Well, yeah, I don't like feeling small, okay?! And yeah, maybe my ego got hurt a little. But who cares about that? This isn't some game!
Who cares? You do. The ego is a fragile thing. Something to be crushed easily.
Fragile? My ego is not fragile! It's as strong as a goddamn skyscraper! And you can't crush it even if you tried!
“I” can’t. But did you feel that? That doubt? That feeling inside that you’re not good enough.
clenches his fists tightly, gritting his teeth Dammit! I...I'm not gonna let some bastard like you mess with my head! I'm...
Ok. Then walk away. Prove me wrong.
Walk away? Prove you wrong? Hah! Like I'd waste my time on a pathetic loser like you! You want proof? Fine, I'll give you proof!
By kicking your sorry ass right now! I'll show you who's the real deal! So get ready to eat dirt, 'cause I'm coming for you!
Bakugo charges towards hum with a fierce expression, ready to attack and assert his dominance
