[ Stupid gross Kacchan! He was in the middle of responding to his challenge and had to erase his original message! Midoriya is actively rolling his eyes and pulling a face. Someone's gotta take him down a notch, and Bakugou stirs an unexpectedly fierce spark in him. Sure, Midoriya shows him good sportsmanship and positive reinforcement like he does everyone else, but Kacchan deserves (demands) something extra. ]
just wait, in 2 days i'll be all better! and i'd fire off my air force before i let you blow anything up!
[ There, that's much better. Midoriya revels in their rivalry. No one else knows his tricks or keeps him on his toes quite so well. For all their differences, their goals are aligned. There's nothing quite like having someone who knows his mind in the field, and Midoriya has to remind himself that his life at U.A. with Bakugou of all people isn't just a dream.
Midoriya is not as good at issuing challenges, but he delivers. His heart beats faster just thinking about it! He's gotta put that energy somewhere, but Iida might catch him lifting weights again...! ]
I SAW YOUR FUCKING EYES! ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?
[These are fighting words, Deku! Does he really have to stomp into the doctor's office and demand a copy of their security cameras?! (As if he would, BUT STILL-) There's no way in hell he's allowing this guy to get away with calling him a liar about this! He's left this shitnerd in the dust so many times in his life, but now he's thinking about sending him a million miles in the stratosphere! KA-BOOM! GONE! HAHA!!]
che! i'd be better in one day, lame nerd. [What a braggart.] oh yeah? i'm still faster than you! you wanna have a quick draw competition? I'LL CRUSH YOU!!
[Their classmates are going to get roped into this, aren't they. Or maybe All Might the next time they have joint training together. Midoriya's always been like this, lying down challenge after challenge he rises to each time. Saying he hates it and never takes the bait when he does and doggedly too. No one else in class can push him into these heights and straights.
That's why he'll never stand for Midorya staying injured for long. He needs him strong so he can stay on top of him! HIS ETERNAL STEPPING STONE!]
[ Midoriya thinks he can take another hit of Recovery Girl's Quirk and be good as new right now, but she is the licensed medical professional. Second dose tomorrow after his classes so he doesn't fall asleep in them, and then he'll be okay to participate regularly the day after so long as his teachers observe and clear him. Doctor's orders!
But he won't be idle. He'll be practicing his reflexes by tossing pencils or something. Or meditating on his dorky visualizations. Like Bakugou, he's thinking their next training session with All Might is the best opportunity since they have the gym reserved already. ]
quick draw like samurai! or those cowboy movies! :D
knowing all might and the others, they'll try to make us to shoot targets under cameras to determine who's fastest. i'll have to convince them i need the combat training.
and if i win you have to stop talking about THAT!! [ Dick!!! ] you're not a liar, you're just wrong!
[Doesn't matter what Midoriya thinks; he'll wreck him the second this guy says he's good to go! Not like Bakugou's any better at accepting his own limitations and recovery. Pisses him off to stay locked in bed all damn day and snarl at his body for not cooperating with him! It should move when he tells it to, screw whether it's in pain! PAIN'S JUST A SENSATION! HE'LL OWN YOU, PAIN!!
But now he's got this shitnerd to prepare for. A quick-draw competition, huh? Mixture of aiming and firing accurately at his top speeds. Midoriya does have an advantage with his Air Bullet against his AP Shot, since the green-haired hero can flick his fingers while Bakugou has to cup his own palm for a strong distance shot. Spraying explosive rounds is a lot easier, though carpet-bombing his target's not the point.
Tch. He'll have to work on improving how fast he charges up his shot an gets his hands into position.]
don't dumb down the challenge, deku!
don't tell those shitty extras! they'll wanna join in and turn this into a huge fucking event!
[As much as he'd like to own every single one of them, he doesn't want to deal with the whole damn crowd of losers wrecking his training time with All Might!]
[ That's it. In the absence of the more outspoken members of their class to call out Bakugou in this string of texts, it falls to Midoriya to be the hero. He knows Bakugou is working on his teamwork, their joint session with Class B was proof enough, but he does have his reflexive lapses. Jerk! ]
they're not extras, they're our friends!! and you've learned stuff from them too! but fine i'll make sure it's just us and all might, and then we can talk freely too.
[ It was honestly a relief that Midoriya could finally share the secret of One For All with one other person. It weighed on him that his miraculously manifesting Quirk bothered Bakugou enough to unbalance him. Despite wanting to meet his feelings halfway, Midoriya couldn't tell him where it came from for what felt like the longest time. ]
i'm GOING to win, kacchan!
[ As if that would actually stop Bakugou from yelling about dicks or whatever else he wants to yell about, but Midoriya is getting riled up. That's right, there's no "if" with them. Just victory or defeat. ]
they're annoying! i didn't learn from them! i got better to crush them!
[As if he'd take someone else's idea and make it his own! He'll accept a teacher's suggestion, accept Endeavor's instructions, but learning from those extras he's surrounded by? HA! He's already better than them!]
Good!
[He didn't need them accidentally finding out the secret of One for All either. No one knew Izuku was Quirkless originally.]
Keep telling yourself that, Deku. It makes it more fun for me to crush you at your best!
[He might hate the guy for hanging onto him all this time, for reaching his level, for surpassing him! But he'd be even more insulted if Izuku ever went easy on him.]
