[Time to add it to the list, Bakugo.]

That's great. We'll be able to have a variety to choose from. Do you know which one will better suit both those things at once?

[blastedass]

[*incoherent screeching noises*]

Yeah. How much do you want to owe me?

[heir_conditioned]

[Ready the further screeching noises, Captain.]

Owe you? I'll be paying for it myself. A nice gesture, Bakugo, but I'm intending on being independent.

[blastedass]

This is your first fucking month; you need your money to get food, dumbass.

[Especially since you can't cook for shit!]

[heir_conditioned]

I keep forgetting growing, foraging and hunting isn't an option here. You're right and I'll do my best to catch up.

[This is also true. He's worse off trying to do things like that himself.]

[blastedass]

You can't do any of those either!!

[So much work to be done on this guy...]

Did they tell you about your money?

[heir_conditioned]

[He might be able to grow something, it's all soil and seeds. Totally. Maybe.]

All I know is it's tied in to my interactions with other individuals and how often I come into physical contact. Or am I misunderstanding?

[blastedass]

[You can cook something. It's eggs and water. And yet guess what happens.]

No that's about it. The more manna you make, the more money you get per month.

It's fucking insidious.

[heir_conditioned]

[Burn the water and freeze the eggs? Shoto is his own stove, too.]

It's not too bad. Making a meaningful connection is much less daunting than I'm used to. It's not idea, though, I'll agree with that.

[blastedass]

[... Buy your own food. You'll live longer.]

The "connection" shit is fucking conflicting. Going on about having some kind of meaningful "emotional bond" being required, but then saying you can make manna simply by liking the same kind of food.

Invalidates each other.

[heir_conditioned]

[Takeout for life. That's why he needs to hold hands with strangers.]

If we were strangers, we would both enjoy heroics. That would still be meaningful, so maybe to some, food preferences are the same. The example isn't as strong, you're my friend so it likely would've worked if it was food or shoes or the weather.

[blastedass]

[Welcome to the new life.]

Are you still going on with that shit?!

[Never giving up the f-word around him, huh.]

Just because you share a like doesn't mean you've got some meaningful bond. Not what I'd consider one.

[There are many people who like heroes in his world and he doesn't get along with the majority of them.]

[heir_conditioned]

[The F-word that Todoroki will tell anyone who'll listen. Including the actual televised news.]

Yes I am.

[Bakugo is his friend, if Bakugo would act less like his friend then he wouldn't be.]

What sort of meaningful bonds do you think fit that characteristic?

[blastedass]

[This will forever be a THING for them and you can't fucking stop him from thinking so!]

How many fucking times do I have to say it?!

[It's like yelling at a brick wall. Futile.]

When you actually want to be around someone. Or get to know them.

[heir_conditioned]

[RIP Poor Bakugo. When a cat chooses people it enjoys.]

You don't have to say it at all.

[It's fine he knows they're friends. Unlike his mun, he doesn't realize Bakugo is exclaiming in text about not being friends.]

Then I guess you are a meaningful connection and I didn't really pick a good example. I'll think of a better one, some time.

[blastedass]

[Don't make him get the fucking spritz bottle...]

I don't need your permission to do what I was already gonna fucking do!

[Sometimes, blissful ignorance is the best kind of defense against this raging bomb blonde.]

We're classmates and allies. Of course we have a connection, whether we want to or not. You'll feel it next time I throw you across the fucking room.

[heir_conditioned]

[Ah, refreshing bottle shower, you say?]

No, but it's nice to have a defined agreement.

[That's all Shoto has, so everyone involved is in luck. Or maybe it's Shoto that's in luck because despite the violence at the end, all he sees is that they're allies and that's the closest he's ever heard that they're friends. ...So he doesn't sully it and sticks with what, to him, feels like what may make this conversation easier to have.]

Oh? You've got my invitation to try. We've both been training so it will be interesting to see if you can.

[blastedass]

[Holy hell you're impossible.]

We didn't agree on anything, you fucking bastard.

[Oh he wants to blast him through the damn wall right now... This guy's going to think whatever he wants to fucking think (or whatever can get through that glacier brain of his). He doesn't want to know.]

Oh yeah? Are you saying you can finally throw a fucking punch now, or are you gonna go down like a sack of paper when I deck you?

[heir_conditioned]

No? I thought we did come to an agreement. I'll have to go re-read this conversation.

[That's the one. That's the better mode where Shoto has acknowledged nothing but Katsuki said more than enough. The training also isn't so bad.]

I can. You'll have to land a punch in order to see. I know my weakness is close range, you'll see I haven't slacked.

[blastedass]

Don't fucking bother. It's fine.

[Just... drop it. He doesn't want to get into that discussion again. Ugh. You can be such a pain in the ass! After spending so many months away from home, the dichotomy of having Shoto's familiar... Shoto-ness back in his life is a relief and fucking enraging!]

Don't get cocky with me. I haven't slacked a fucking inch ever since I got here. I won't go easy on you for a second.

[heir_conditioned]

Ah. Then that's our agreement.

[Consider it dropped, they agreed on something. But it's also relieving to read Bakugo being riled up by the idea of a fight.]

I hope you don't. I know I wouldn't insult you again by daring to do anything but my best.

[blastedass]

[Wha-? He just- ... FUCK YOU! There! Now he feels somewhat better over that. They can get back to shit talking, which is a more apt activity. When's he not riled up by a fight?]

I'll avoid using my gem powers since you're still a noob with yours.

[heir_conditioned]

[The turmoil is real and familiar and comforting for Shoto at least.]

I'd rather you didn't avoid it. I need to learn to counter them with my quirk. I don't know how to use my other ability at all and I need to be able to defend myself. What was it you said? "Come at me with everything you've got, don't hold back"?

[blastedass]

My gem's never been anything more than a fucking augment and support form my Quirk. I didn't have this damn thing when you fucked up our battle at the Festival and I'm not gonna have extra shit now when I finally get to have that rematch you owe me.

I'll fight you with it later. This time, it's gonna be you and me, like it should've been back home.

[And he's not budging on that decision.]

[heir_conditioned]

Another agreement. I wasn't ready to embrace both my sides as my own. I've done a lot of soul searching and I won't do it again. I will work on becoming stronger here so I can sustain a fight with you.

Alright. With Dabi here, it will be beneficial I learn how to counter the possibilities that come with his gem. And my father's.

[That's right, he trusts neither of them.]
