yeah yeah pound me all you want weirdo but at least you accept you’re a sap now.
[ As for the rest… This is complicated, huh?
Yuji empathises. He does in a way that maybe no one else could quite get, given who he is. Bakugo saw someone he looked up to, cherished, cared about lose something in front of them and it was their fault. How could he not empathise?
Nanamin. Gojo-sensei. Higuruma-san. Mentors lost because of Yuji’s folly.
The words that come aren’t words he’d ever necessarily listen to himself all the time, but right now… They’re the words that he knows would’ve helped him. Would help him. They’re from the heart.
i don’t think he’d do that if he didn’t think you were worth it when i lost nanamin he told me… ‘you’ve got it from here’. i didn’t understand those words for a long time. maybe i don’t understand what he wanted me to feel with them or what he wanted, but this is what i took: i can carry his share of suffering. i can take what he gave me and be better. i don’t run away, don’t use my fear and sadness as an excuse anymore. because nanamin believed in me, right to the end.
even when he was dying, he saw me and he believed in me.
maybe it wasn’t fair, that he had to save you. but you’re the next generation of heroes. you’re someone who’s gonna be strong. so maybe you can carry his share too. maybe you’ve got it from here too, bakugo.
me, literally tearing up writing this tag
