People wishing you. [ Was that ... embarrassing to ask? Bakugo's definitely staring at him with some judgement, and Megumi starts to wonder if that was somewhat sappy of him to say. Then again, his biggest influence in life is his older sister, who's one of the kindest and most sentimental people around. Sometimes she does rub off on him. ]
But now I'm curious to know if there's anything you're wishing for too. [ He minds his own business a lot of the time, but they've spent enough time with each other for Megumi to develop a healthy curiousity toward the other boy. ]
[He stops staring at Megumi with the answer, thinking back to day's seemingly-never-ending pings on his ocular and people popping up around the base, knocking on his door, all that shit. He used to love being the center of attention on his birthday as a small boy, but growing up, he matured out of it. Or more like his attitude and pride turned the attention into an annoyance... but his inner child still smiles in private fondness.]
Asides from the fucking obvious?
[Wishing for them all to go home. Maybe a wish the kaiju would stop fucking with this place... so then they could all go home. Would it be rude or understandable to say he didn't want to see any of these people again on his next birthday? Not in the "hope you all die" sort of way, but "you all better be home" sort of way.
He won't say that.] Can't say. Or it won't come true, dork.
[ Megumi isn't too surprised he had so many people remember his birthday. Even with his loud and abrasive attitude, even with his silly nicknames and harsh words, Megumi could easily tell that Bakugo was kind, and he's not surprised that others would be drawn to him eventually.
He can guess that his wish would be something like going home, to return to his duties as a hero. That wouldn't be surprising at all. Megumi does have unfinished business at home, but life in Neo Tokyo is so much calmer in comparison that it's really hard to yearn to go back. ]
...Tsumiki used to say that too. I guess you're both sentimental.
[Don't get so damn introspective with him! He's supposed to be a badass hero people admire and are kind of intimidated by! What about that says fucking "kind" to you?! ... Well... whatever. His birthday's only once a year and Bakugo grits his teeth through it since a lot of people just smother him regardless of what he wants. Ugh.
No, such a wish wouldn't be surprising. It's what many of them want after all. But wasting a birthday wish on something like that, something he's doggedly determined to make happen eventually, isn't what he did. He has a wish, he made one, but hell if he's gonna tell it to anyone. Because like it or not, Bakugo does have a life here.
Allies, friends, rivals...]
IT'S NOT SENTIMENTAL!! How many birthday wishes have you told everyone?!
[Rawr! Tempting to smack him with that brand-new rolling pin.]
[ He did expect to be yelled at. But something about this is fun. Maybe it's the way he isn't the one being goaded into an annoyed retaliation this time? ]
None ... [ He doesn't really make wishes on his birthday. A lot of the time, he can't really think of anything that he wants. Maybe for his sister to be safe? Megumi isn't optimistic enough to believe a birthday wish would do anything for him though. Also... ] It's embarrassing.
[You know what they say about people who play with fire? Or in this case, bombs. Bakugo glares across the space between them, eyes almost sparking with annoyance when Megumi pops that doldrums answer. Figures.]
Then don't ask about mine, dammit!
[Grumbling, he's still going to head across his room to set the socks down on his dresser to be washed and then put away later. Socks usually don't have a "size" issue, so it's not like a shirt not fitting. The rolling pin is neatly placed by his computer (yes he has one because fuck doing everything on his ocular) so he'll remember it.
Despite the bother, the sentiment isn't lost on him. Megumi's the quiet kid that Bakugo doesn't really mind being around, since they're both studious and focus on getting shit done.]
