[There's going to be a big difference this time; Bakugo's not going to lose! Granted he still hasn't succeeded in besting Raidou in swordplay yet... but damn if he doesn't continue to try.]
Tch, we'll see how good a swordsman is at shooting.

Then why the hell do you always start and stop with the violent, offensive aspects, rather than focus on everything you can do with them?
[He's noticed that both times he's spoken to her about the vectors. Even now, she started and stopped with slicing, never once talking about potential uses that didn't involve dismemberment.]

[ Rather than answer, she goes quiet. Deathly quiet, her eyes staring through him, as if she's a million miles away. Only when she blinks and looks back down at her plate does she seem to come back from...wherever she was. ]
I'm not gonna bore you with sob stories. Only found a positive use for them right before I died.
[ She stands up slowly and cleans up her dishware, leaving no speck of sauce or crumbs behind. ]
Satisfied?

[There's no flinching, retreat, or averted gaze from Bakugo. His red eyes remain on hers without moving, waiting for an answer despite the silence preparing him for something less than positive in response.
The answer's unexpected. He didn't expect Kaede to be one of the "I'm dead back home" crowd.
But thanks for not boring him with sob stories. Bakugo rises to clear his own place. He's not one to leave his stuff for others to clean up.]
You have a lot of opportunity to use them positively now. Focus on that and it'll get easier.
[He speaks in a way that suggests there's some familiarity with this kind of thing in his past.]

Thanks. Sleeveless suits you.
[ watching bakugo work, choso has found, is a marvel. every motion is made with intent, a certainty in his own actions so unshakable it must only be rooted deep as bedrock. so much practice must have gone into his time with the vegetable knife. ]
Is this how you make it normally?

[ Inside, she doesn't believe that. She doesn't want to. Her power is innately destructive even if she found a last minute healing skill with it. A power that ate her alive when overused.
Her left hand twitches at the memory. But, after that surgery, that shouldn't happen again. It won't. It can't. Instead, she can use that healing skill to try and make herself better.
The longer the focus is on her, the more she starts to itch. ]
Hmmmm? Awfully muted of you. I expected "get better or die, Pinky" or something.

Naa?! It's comfortable!
[yeah, rawr at the compliment. he noticed choso paid attention to him like that the few times they've interacted, but the blunt compliment is surprising. a little. at least the half-curse is getting a clear view of bakugo's shoulders and arms flexing when he works in the kitchen.
once the tofu's cut and the skillet's ready, he lays two pieces of tofu in the skillet, sending up a hissing bubble as the slices contact hot butter.]
Depends on what I'm making it for.

[Even innately destructive power can be used for good. Look at Bakugo. He creates explosions with the sweat from his palms. A Quirk that is purely destructive on the surface. It could kill easily.
And yet he uses it to be a hero.
The limits and applications of someone's power lie on them alone. That's what he believes. Anything else is an excuse because someone's too scared, too weak, or too lazy to try otherwise.
But that's her problem. Until she opens up about it more, and then Bakugo will tell her off.]
You already did. Now you can keep going that direction. [The getting better part. His expression flattens in a scowl.] Just don't fucking die again.
[There's more she can do here.]

[ Yeah. Moving forward. Going as far forward as her feet will carry her. Until she's an old granny in a house by the sea.
His order is still surprising. Enough so that she's not really sure what to say before she scoffs out a laugh. ]
Wasn't planning on it.
[ And provided he doesn't have anything to say about it, she'll swipe those dirty dishes of his too on her way to the cafeteria sink. ]
I mean, we've still got a bet going. Can't just leave that hanging.

Shut it.
[how about you just don't mention it and then there's no problem, huh?]
Aa. I'll meet you at the entrance.
[how about you just don't mention it and then there's no problem, huh?]
Aa. I'll meet you at the entrance.
[Whatever will keep her going. That little noise earns her a slight glare from the side, but Bakugo doesn't offer anything further. Yeah no, he's gonna do his own dishes, thanks. She cooked.]
Good.
[He knows a few people who seem to have a damn death wish by their very nature.]
The one you're gonna lose?
Good.

[ it's too late, he made the reservation and put it under 'comments'. maybe he can just not mention that .....
there's no response to that, but megumi will be there at the arcade entrance as planned. he's very punctual! he has a bag in his hand that is probably going to be bakugo's gift. ]

[guess he's gonna have to find a place on the ride home to bury a body... or megumi's coming home with a charred afro from getting blasted...
bakugo arrives at the designated time, similarly punctual (unless he's late by choice for a reason) and dressed in a casual collaboration of button-down overshirt, tank-top, jeans, and sneakers. hope the restaurant isn't some snooty place that wants formal dress.]

[ is he into public display of affection? will he demand it? ... not purposely. denji has the simple idea of going for it when he feels like it, and if they happen to be around others when he gets the mighty urge to give bakugou's lips a bit of abuse, he won't stop himself. whether they were exclusive or not, it didn't matter. you kiss him once = an endless invitation for more. it's not wrong to express such affection; it's a beautiful thing that should not be frowned upon. huff.
the countdown adds pressure to meeting a deadline when all he wants to do is TAKE HIS SWEET TIME!! let him get in the mood. he has no idea bakugou might have a change of heart or be mildly annoyed that his pictures are getting all the action here, but denji rather clears up his mind. the good news is: it didn't last more than 30 minutes and bakugou will not enter a scandalous scene. bad news is: it's over. fuck, that was more intense than he expected, and over such, uh, timid pictures, too? denji is so pleasantly confused by all of this.
he's now eager to explore more about himself.
either way, he's here and committed to doing everything kacchan feels like doing on his special day. even when he had to endure the many 'happy birthdays!!' along their way out and forced small talk. to be honest, it didn't bother the half-devil as much as one might think— he was happy to see the hero getting the attention he deserved. they have their dinner and denji orders a small birthday delight for them to enjoy. a gaming session follows, burning off their meal with some fun workout.
as for the sleepover — hmm. it's a dangerous game, crawling under a single blanket and sharing a bed, but denji will behave. it's still your birthday, hero ♥ ]

My focus may be with a sword, but I am heavily trained in firearms too. Best to be well-rounded when you're going up against demons.
[C'mon, hero, he's waiting to see if you can ever get the better of little ol' him.
Raidou thinks about it for a moment, before adding something.]
My birthday is the fifth of May. Maybe we can find people to go then?

[ welcome to the gun show, front row seats. perhaps someone else would be more subtle about their ogling, but choso has no time for pussyfooting around like that when he can let his admiration sit out on the counter where it can be seen.
there is something about it, see, in the work of power outside of the frame of battle.
with the hiss of the pan, though, choso’s attention shifts entirely to the tofu slices, eyes narrowing in his strange curiosity even as he takes a respectful step away from the sizzling. ]
Do you have a favourite? Way to make it, I mean.

[The bristles come from reasons. They both have them. Bakugo finishes up his dishes and sets them in the drying rack near the sink.]
Haa?! I'm not gonna be your guinea pig! Test them on someone else and then give me something good!

[HE NEVER "TRIES" TO BE COOL! HE "IS" COOL ALWAYS! Be jelly and die!]
I've never gone all out on you either.
[Most of their competitions were either team ups or had a lot more at stake to be a real competition between them.]

What kind of firearms did you have in your world?
[He occasionally places Raidou in a more feudal era, but has gotten the feeling he might be in a time period that's more modern than that. Especially if there were rudimentary rifles and pistols... Hence the curiosity.
No comment on the well-rounded preparations because Bakugo agrees 100%. Just impresses him more.
JUST YOU WAIT!! HE'LL HAVE YOU ON YOUR BACK AT SWORD POINT SOON ENOUGH!!]
Hm? [5th of May, huh.] Could set up something big for that...
[Outsider laser tag. Hell, they could "rent out" the arcade, or do something in the simulator.]

[there's something to be said about someone going on impulse. denji being that kind of person doesn't surprise bakugou in the least. and the half-devil is one of the few people who has blanket permission to invade bakugou's personal space without getting his head ripped off. granted, he's not going to blast the guy in the face if he kisses him in public; denji's earned that privilege as well. but don't pout if he gets red in the face and sputters about it for a few seconds afterwards! who knows what denji'll find in his mouth after that. a tongue isn't entirely off the option list...
HE'S THE ONE THAT SAID "GIMME 30 MINUTES" IN THE FIRST PLACE!! but whatever. denji can get in the mood (in and out of it) while bakugou grabs a rinse off and gets ready to go out. he's been working out in his room so a fast shower is kind of a demand right now. look, if he finds out denji's having fun to his pictures, he's going to give him a face, then mock him for choosing the lesser of rewards. might be digging himself a hole considering the devil hunter's refractory period, but taunting is part of their banter.
he's gonna wonder what denji's thinking, jerking off to a guy... NOT OUT LOUD, DAMMIT!!
yeah, bakugou is bee-lining it out of the dorm, cussing under his breath when the third congratulation comes his way. DOES EVERYONE FUCKING KNOW NOW?! he really should throttle the guy beside him for letting the news slip...
at least they get to escape to the grill, where they can cook their own food at their table. that's always fun for him, because there's no need for awkward silence while waiting for their food to arrive. it's active, they can experiment with cooking techniques, and generally have an interactive dining experience along with the conversation. the dessert is nice, though denji gets to indulge in the sweeter chocolate of it while bakugou likes the darker chocolate part.
totally kill whoever comes against them in the arcade.
but it's later at night, closer to 9pm, that denji's going to get a text again:]
you still awake?

[at least bakugo's focusing on the cooking and not on choso staring at him while he works. he knows he is? to a degree. but he also knows the guy's a little weird and if he's half curse who isn't even a year old yet, theoretically, is it really going to matter?
... plus he promised not to beat him, for yuji's sake.
and this is the guy who asked about biting people.
at least the pan steals choso's attention so it's not that awkward for too long. bakugo catches the spatula handle, adjusting the tofu slices in the skillet a bit to make sure they have equal coverage. yeah, don't wanna splatter the guy would an oil pop.]
Spicy grilled with tuna or eel.

There are many. But if you're asking what I use, typically a revolver. Here I've taught myself to use an automatic handgun, since it's what was available.
[Besides, it holds so many more rounds. Very handy.
At the mention of something big, Raidou shakes his head.]
It doesn't need to be anything big. Really. Just whoever wants to come is fine.
[Shouldn't be surprising that he's not into having a big deal made over his birthday.]
