You can't please everyone Deku. Especially when it comes to shit like this. You were gonna break someone's heart in this case.
[ Though with Katsuki the nerd might never have known. Of course he doesn't think he would have lost his composure about it either. That's not talking down to Ochako at all. She's not a fragile girl. She just deals with things differently than Katsuki and there's nothing wrong with that. ]
'Cause I'm your boyfriend and I deserve to know that the conversation happened.
[He really didn't know. He didn't think anyone would like him like that until it was absolutely clear with Katsuki. And even that was a struggle to really realize and accept. It's not that he's oblivious, he just never thought he'd really be that kind of boy to someone. He's just plain Deku, after all.
He gets a bit red in the cheeks and nods.]
Yeah. That's right. I think she'll be able to get through it. But I don't want it to be awkward for the three of us.
[They're all friends and classmates at the end of the day. And Izuku really does appreciate the three of them getting more time to hang out. She is strong. Just the motions of it all...]
[ Technically he's not just "that kind of boy" to someone. To several someone's. It really doesn't surprise Katsuki at all. The only reason that the nerd didn't have prospects in middle school is likely because of Bakugou bullying him. There's those stupid freckles and too bright eyes.
And Deku has what is traditionally referred to as that "cute" sort of personality. Personally, Bakugou finds the fiery one more to his tastes, but hey. ]
I ain't gonna start shit if that's what you're worried about.
Don't worry, I'm not worried about something like that...
[Izuku knows that the two of them can handle themselves and can talk about whatever they need to. Honestly, it might help things if Katsuki and Ochako did talk a little. He wonders about that. If they actually would...? It still makes Izuku feel nervous, though.]
I'm surprised that it happened, that's all. Ahh...
[ The communication thing is getting better. Somewhat. They can actually have a serious discussion about things of this nature.
Just not usually their feelings. Apparently that's where they draw the line. And who knows when Katsuki might start getting defensive or flip the switch back to being rude as a means to deflect from the seriousness of it all. ]
Like I said... I'm actually somewhat im-fucking-pressed.
Yeah... She put something important to her out on the line... It must have taken a lot of courage to do something like that.
[Which is also why he had wanted to be honest to her. Even if it hurt. Putting something in your heart out into the world... It takes a lot of bravery.]
[ It does. Honestly Bakugou would say that they're all far braver than him on that account. He's not even really capable of expressing his feelings. Not his real feelings anyway. Katsuki, to this day, hides everything under his bluster - positive and negative emotions. ]
[ It shouldn't change how anyone interacts with one another. However, emotions are funny things. How people deal with those emotions vary too. Katsuki isn't sure how he'd deal with it all, but honestly? It probably wouldn't be gracefully. ]
Yeah well... What else was I supposed to do? Tell you to fuck off?
[He can only imagine how the conversation would have happened if it were Katsuki and Ochako from the start. That would give Izuku anxiety just thinking about it.
Izuku glances at Katsuki and smiles, a light sigh on his lips.]
[ Yeah, that conversation might not have happened. Literally. Bakugou might have refused to speak on it, if only because it wouldn't be his place to say anything. Not only that, it wouldn't have really have been her business. ]
[ Okay so he'll shit around. Mostly so he can lay his head on top of Izuku's. ]
We're both kind of that bad. I mean c'mon. How long did we both sit on our goddamn feelings? At least Uraraka actually, I don't know. Said them? Or sang them, I guess.
[ Honestly? Bakugou is surprised at himself. He hadn't thought that he'd take to the physically affectionate side of things so quickly. The blonde thought that he would have to work himself up to it a little more.
Yet this feels... Comfortable. ]
That's not going to happen. You'd practically have to curse or charm me into doing anything like that.
[Feeling like he can just rest his head on Katsuki's shoulder like this is a big step too. Being closer, actually talking, being honest about what's going on with their lives...
Hopefully, that continues! until a canon update happens]
When I think about it... It would be too weird to see you doing that.
Tch. You wouldn't see it happen except in your dreams.
[ The tough conversation seems to be over with now. Bakugou and Deku sit in rather comfortable silence. Katsuki notes that the other doesn't seem as stressed out or as emotional as he had been a few moments ago. Maybe he's done something here for the other. Chances are that it will still come and go, but for now?
For now they can just enjoy one another's presence. Then go about their daily routines. They have to be mindful that pursuing things means that others can't obtain it in the end. Whether that be in romance, life, or heroics. ]

N-no! I don't regret it! I thought it was important to tell her the truth about how I felt! I just didn't want to hurt her?
[But that was inevitable.]
I don't think there's anything to do. I just... wanted to tell you what happened. Because you're my...
[The one he likes.]
