"He was quirkless." Bakugou's words keep repeating over and over again.
"How... is that even possible?" I find myself at total loss.
"Tch, don't ask me. I haven't gotten a clue. That nerd had the audacity to say he... never mind it's stupid."
"So you've known him for a long time huh."
His tone clearly calmed down and he was even making eye contact with me. "I might as well tell you before that senseless Deku exaggerates things. Yeah, I've known him since we were kids. Stupid Deku always following me around, and—"
"And things changed when you got your quirk and he didn't I suppose? And now you're even more mad with him because he has a quirk. That's it isn't it."
His eyes widen a bit. Indicating I had guessed correctly, "How did—"
"Wild guess. Also seeing how your interaction were it wasn't hard to deduce to that."
"Tch, whatever." He becomes silent for a moment and he then says, "Hey, were you serious about you said earlier?"
"I was serious about everything. But which part are you referring to?" I asked curiously.
"About not being my rival."
He's worried about that? Is he that self-centered? "Um yes, why would I lie?"
"Why?"
"This isn't about me Bakugou."
"Well it is now, you got your say in this business that wasn't even yours to begin with so now it's my turn." He stubbornly claimed.
"You're quite tenacious."
"So I've been told."
I hummed in response. "Hm, well I'm not interested in that, is all."
"Then why become a hero in the first place?"
Oh he's just curious about that... I'm not sure why but I reply honestly. "I hate villains." I spoke darkly. "And I want to protect him."
"Your brat?"
"Don't call him that."
"Whatever."
Bakugou smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at him as we then start walking silently together. Does this make us friends now? I mean he hasn't told me to leave him alone.
"You're not so bad. Thanks I guess." Bakugou mutters.
"On what?"
"Nothing."
He's thanking me for talking to him isn't he? Maybe my words did get though him. "Right, nothing. Well you're not so bad either Bakugou. Even though we got off to a bad start."
He chuckles. "Well who wouldn't be shocked seeing a brat holding another brat. You weren't that kind to begin with."
I frown sadly.
"It's not an insult stupid."
"I know." deciding to change the subject I nonchalantly added, "You know your personality it's explosive Boom-Boom boy."
"What the hell did you just call me!?!?"
I disregarded his brash tone and continued. "Hold on, if your quirk is explosions I wonder if that's why your personality is so explosive?"
"You're walking on thin ice extra."
"Oh I'm so scared." I bluffed.
He rolls his eyes, "What about you, you're personality is so awkward."
