[ He's careful with it!

Shifting, he lets himself lean into Bakugo again, sighing softly. ]

Yeah. You're sooo badass, Explosion Murder God Dynamight.

[blastedass]

[Hence no comment about the poke.

Bakugo waits for Yuji to finish situating before picking up another piece.]

Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight.

[So petty.]

[eyescar]

Why did you even pick that name?

[ It's such a mouthful... Speaking of... Chomp. ]

[blastedass]

The hero name committee wouldn't let me have my other choices without a "safe" word. Fucking censor-happy cowards.

[He gives the chopsticks a small shake, as if playing tug with a dog, before slipping them out.]

[eyescar]

... What were your other choices...?

[ Bakugo you're so weird bro ]

[blastedass]

King Explosion Murder. Lord Explosion Murder. Great God Explosion. Great Explosion Lord Murder.

[WITH MORE VARIANTS!!]

[eyescar]

Oh... So you just mushed them all together.

[blastedass]

They only let me when I added "Dynamight" to the end.

[Essentially giving the news and other people something they could call Bakugo on air without getting sued.]

[eyescar]

Man... I wonder what I'd pick if I could have a cool hero name.

[ Something better than "vessel"... ]

[blastedass]

A hero name embodies the image or message a hero wants to send to everyone around them.

[Bakugo looks down at Yuji.]

Midnight-sensei said it's part of what makes a hero a hero.

[eyescar]

The message I want to send...

[ Yuji pauses, resting his head on Bakugo's shoulder. ]

I really don't know, in that case. Any ideas?

[blastedass]

[That's a good question. While Bakugo has thought about it, he respects the idea of a hero name and Yuji as a person enough not to want to try and influence him in this.]

Not saying. A hero picks his own name.

[He tightens his hand in Yuji's for a moment.]

Part of my name pays tribute to All Might, the greatest hero in my world.

[eyescar]

Okay. Tell me about All Might, then.

[ A great hero... Like Gojo-sensei?

He can ruminate on his hero name. ]

[blastedass]

All Might...

[Hope Yuji doesn't mind a nerd moment, because while Bakugo's usually reserved, there are topics he'll go on about. All Might is one of them.

From the man's strength and power to how his presence alone decreased Japan's crime rate by 80% for the forty years he operated to how his smile and catch phrase "I am here!" meant so much as the Symbol of Peace in Japan and the world.

He's certainly not as bad as the literal water-hose novel Midoriya would've given Yuji, but it's painfully obvious Bakugo is a Fanboy for All Might.]

[eyescar]

[ Yuji listens along, nodding his head as Bakugo speaks and it's... Really cute...

It makes him smile, closing his eyes as he rests his head on Bakugo again. ]

I understand how you feel. I felt the same way about Nanamin and Gojo-sensei, you know?

[blastedass]

[Bakugo leans back against the head of the bed, letting Yuji rest against him with his head on his shoulder. Or neck. Or wherever the guy's flopped.]

Yeah, you made it pretty clear about Shachiku. [Sorry, Nanami. It's just your name now.]

Who the hell's Gojo? You guys keep mentioning him.

[eyescar]

Oh, that's my teacher. He's here now? He's tall, with white hair and a blindfold.

[ Flop. He just lies on Bakugo now, food forgotten. ]

[blastedass]

[Gonna put the bento on the side table. Cover back on, chopsticks atop it. There.

Now he can just rest here.]

Never seen him.

[eyescar]

[ Perhaps he should be more concerned about essentially cuddling with a guy in the med bay, but...

Whatever. He's comfortable. ]

You might see him around later. He's really strong.

[blastedass]

[Yeah well... at this point, it's basically already damned. Bakugo's minding Yuji's injury as well.

He's in good hands.]

Stronger than Shachiku?

[eyescar]

Yeah. Nanamin was a Grade one, and Gojo-sensei is Special Grade, which is higher.

[ The reminder of Nanamin... He's gone again... Yuji squeezes his eyes shut a little tighter. ]

[blastedass]

[Bakugo feels the tension and... he's aware of that loss.

He just... it's not fair to Yuji.]

What Grade are you?

[eyescar]

[ Nothing is, but he's trying to accept it.

Trying being the key word. ]

Grade 4, but my testing to be promoted was interrupted.

[blastedass]

[Trying. Hopefully by not burying it. Not that Bakugo can talk...]

Kinda like our graduation, huh.

[eyescar]

[ Haha, about that. ]

Yeah, probably the same. I don't know what I'd be considered these days.
