Day 8: Chopping and Piling Wood

"Hey, Kacchan, we've noticed you've been hanging around Kokoro a lot." Kaminari nudged the blonde, giggling mischievously as they chop and pile wood for their training cabin. He giggled as Katsuki's neck was getting red. "Does she catch your interest or what? Our hothead has a crush?"

"Like hell I do!" Bakugou grumbled, blasting Kaminari's face. "The Support Extra is just helping with my Pro Hero costume!! She isn't my type!"

Kaminari giggled as he shook the stun from the blast. "C'mon, Kacchan. You know I saw you nearly kill Mineta when he talked about her breasts, and you personally gave her that homemade hoodie. You obviously have feelings for her, even if she turned you into a doll."

Bakugou was shaking, trying not to give this electric blonde ammo. "She was helping with my costume, Dunce Face, it was the least I can do for her."

Kaminari looked at Bakugou, who was still trying to hide his blush, and smirked as he continued to pile wood against the cabin. "I heard that she didn't really make friends..." He said, and he could hear the subtle sound of increased chopping. "Kokoro was a transfer from another country, yah? Only that spider girl and you are her friends, apparently."

Bakugou stopped chopping wood, thinking at what he said. "...She's afraid to make friends...because of her Dollification quirk." He pulled another log and began chopping again, sensing Kaminari's confusion. "Her shitty parents abandoned her, told her that her quirk was evil...tch, some parents." He then tossed the chopped logs to Kaminari before pausing. "She was terrified when she accidentally turned me into a doll, thought that I'd despise her."

Kaminari knew about that, but he was surprised that she didn't have a good childhood. "Her quirk is awesome, man. I don't understand why some people are just cruel, but...I can understand about being...neglected." Kaminari placed the last log on a row before going up. "My father didn't like my quirk, said it was too volatile, and dumped me with my aunt, however," He smiled kindly at Bakugou. "She needs to see that we are friends and 1-A doesn't care, they help us improve who we could be."

Bakugou put the ax down as he finished, contemplating at what he said. "Yeah...you're right...I guess I'm no good at certain cues. Your father's a dick, by the way. He just didn't understand that you needed to process...shit." Bakugou looked up, realizing what Kaminari was saying. "I understand now, since she had only knew neglect, she is wary of lowering her walls." He then looked at his blonde friend, smirking. "Looks like we need to have Baby Doll hang around us often, just make sure to keep that grape away."

Kaminari gave a thumbs up. "Not a problem, Kacchan. Kirishima, Mina, and I will make sure he isn't around when you invite her. See, I knew you like her, you just needed some 'chopping talk'."

"GET LOST, DUNCE FACE!"
