[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.]
