It's late at night and toga is fast asleep in the bedroom, while bakugo sits on the living room couch pondering if he should make the decision to call Kaminari. After his last encounter with him he started to feel guilty for leaving his friend to fester in his thoughts, while also leaving bad blood between them. At the time he was flustered and full of emotion and didn't take anyone or anything into consideration. But tonight he had stayed up thinking about this problem of his. If you had asked him before he had met Toga to apologize to Kaminari, he probably wouldn't have really cared as much but recently he's been wanting to gain more emotional control of his life, but he's found it to be really hard most of the time. He hesitates a bit, but then decides to call. He picks his phone up off of the coffee table and calls Kaminari. As Kaminari answers, Bakugou hears a conversation between him and Jirou.

Kaminari: yeah babe, it's in the cabinet on the left. No the other one, the one that's above. Yeah yeah that's the one... Hello?

Bakugou: Hey it's me...

Kaminari: ...Hey...

It becomes silent for a bit making it feel somewhat awkward between the two. Bakugou quickly breaks the silence though.

Bakugou: So... I wanted to call about what happened at the festival... Togas been tellin me to talk about it with you guys and...

Kaminari: Well I hope you're not just calling because she told you to.

Bakugou: No, it's nothin like that...I just... *Sighs* I'm sorry okay...I acted like a jackass. And I've been thinkin about a lot... about how I've been blaming you for the whole incident that happened at the party that you had. I've kind of been figuring out that I don't really blame you, at least not entirely. I'm very angry with myself about everything that happened.

Kaminari: In what way?

Bakugou frowns and grips the phone tight.

Bakugou: Because if I can't even protect her from a couple of bullies, how can I even think to protect her from anything stronger than that. I've just been pretending to push all the blame on to you and... That's wrong.... And I see that now. And i-

He starts to choke up, but holds in his feelings, hoping that Kaminari didn't hear his voice fluctuate.

Bakugou: Look I'm just callin to apologize. Ain't nothin else to it. I just don't wanna have to think about you and Jirou when I'm out with Himiko at the water park this week ... visualizing your stupid faces in my head pisses me off.

Kaminari pauses through the phone. Without wanting to make Bakugou feel any more vulnerable then he already does, he laughs.

aminari: Haha, don't worry about it bro, no biggie at all. Everyone goes through crap. Probably would've been better if you'd told me in the first place though.

Bakugou clears his throat and then rubs the back of his neck. He smiles a little.

Bakugou: You laugh things off to easily...it's real fuckin annoying.

Kaminari: Can't be helped bro, it's just how I am. And uh...I accept your apology. And so does Jirou. We get that it's been rough for you guys. Especially with everything you've gone through together. I know that if anything like that happened to Jirou...man if anything like that happened to her, it would tear me apart.

Bakugou sighs.

Bakugou: Even if it has been rough for us, I shouldn't be a dick. Our... trauma isn't an excuse...or my trauma isn't...
