No that's not what it's for. It doesn't matter, I'll look up the movie but I'll still take you to eat first. I'd cook but I don't think I have much around to make anything taste very good.
[Somehow he gets the feeling he's not being told the entire story...
...but doesn't want to try prying it out of Shoto any further. Who the hell knows what someone in the dorm would do, either a friendly gift, a stupid prank, or even SYNTHIA doing some bullshit social experiment again.]
Just fucking say that next time.
I'm not sitting through two damn movies. Dinner. Movie. Something else if you're gonna need more.
What if we went to a movie before dinner, then went to dinner and then another movie. And if we were to have time before or in between, I'd like to go to the arcade again. Have you ever been to one?
No, I was thinking of texting him after to figure out something to do together. I don't mind training and sparring or competition, but I don't have to focus on that right now here. I want to try normal things.
[Others have said the same. Wanting to step away from the troubles of their worlds and take their time here as a new beginning, or at least a break to try something different for a while.
Is that wrong or irresponsible? ... Not really. It's not like they can do much else. Bakugo's already tried to go home a few ways, and short of storming LILITH's main HQ, all failed.
Wasting time, energy, opportunity to sit around and mope is pretty stupid too.]
[That's an easy question to at least answer and Shoto does answer it timely.]
The other day, when I had time, I went on the subway and rode it from end to end. I'm sure other people would get off and that would be more normal, but I felt like I needed to see all the stops. When I'm more established, I'd like to go shopping or find a gym that's public, not semi-private like at UA or private entirely like at home. I may even see if there are sports teams here. Maybe I will learn to swim better or I can put my running techniques to good use on a track team. I may even go to a bookstore.
[Shoto doesn't think it's the pretty, he's pretty sure it's the scar.]
It's alright, I'm used to it.
Well... when I'm battling a Kaiju, then I won't go to school. Thank you for the recommendation, I will message them to ask when I've made a concrete decision on what I think is normal.
[He's pretty even with the scar, as the girls in their class continue to prove.]
That's not what I fucking said.
Haa?! Ask him about his school experience so you know what you're getting into! None of this shit is normal! We got fucking kidnapped from our own world, as mercenaries!
[Trying to establish a "normal" life here is... well, probably the ideal so you don't end up going mad, but... Ugh. Bakugo refuses to school here because it feels like "replacing" U.A. and he just can't do that.]
Though Bakugo can see exactly zero percent of it, Shoto sighs and a small frown comes to his lips. Bakugo has a point, but Shoto really wants to live in some normal fashion, do normal things that he can't at home with a war every second of the day. Hm...]
What do you think I should do, Bakugo? I could ask a stranger, but I trust you and value your opinion. You may not make my decision for me, but hearing what you have to say isn't a small thing for me.
[Well the guys too, but they can't have that much in canon outside of Kaminari once or twice commenting on Shoto and Shinso being handsome.
He can't see it, but somehow, he gets the feeling Shoto's doing that minor miffed expression he gets when something's bugging him. And really, why shouldn't he? Getting the chance to do something different, to have a normal life here, of sorts, isn't that a good thing? Technically none of this "counts" to their lives back home, which irritates Bakugo for other reasons. Having a "peaceful" chance at life is...
It makes him think once Shoto asks him.]
Do what you want to do.
[There's another pause before he has to come clean.]
This place pisses me off, but I shouldn't take it out on you.
[Yeah, he knows Todoroki enough to figure the other boy's going to be confused at the sudden slam-the-breaks sort of answer he just got. Ugh, he fucking hates having to explain himself. Even worse when it's cause he got pissed and actually feels bad about snapping at someone. A rarity.]
Uh-huh.
[And that's that. Moving on.]
I work as a police officer in the city. It's the closest thing I could get to being a hero, and it won't bore the fuck out of me.
But if you want to go to school normally, you should do that. You're right. We have a chance to try new things here.
[And Bakugo shouldn't be trying to dissuade him from it.]
If you feel like that, you're the only one of the two of us that did. But I won't deny you that it's kind you were willing to remark on it.
[And that's all he's going to say about it. Bakugo never wants to talk about things like this and while Todoroki is open to talking about them, sometimes he'd get his own wall up.]
You did have a point though, Bakugo. It's not like I can't work as I am and then if I decide to go to school I can't go. Or even cut my hours down. I can still do normal things on my days off, otherwise we wouldn't be going out together. If I'm honest, it feels like there's nothing you don't have the answers to. Or at least can give good advice someone can think on.
[He didn't need an insightful statement of the obvious, dammit! That's just fucking awkward now! They can put it behind them and not bring it up again. Fuck.]
Think about it for a while. If you go to school full time, you can work part time, and vice versa.
Don't gush at me. You could've figured that crap out on your own.
What would you go to school for anyways?
[They all went to school to graduate as heroes. The idea of going to school for a "normal" degree is kind of strange to think about. What degree would he even get? Law enforcement, at the moment...]

If you find one that doesn't suck.

Date: 4/27/24 08:54 (UTC)What?! No! Tell me how you got the damn coupon!
[This shouldn't be that hard! And then Shoto goes and adds a meal onto it!]
You could've just said you wanted to go out for the evening, idiot.
1/2
Date: 4/27/24 09:00 (UTC)It was at my door. Just there one day.
[That... makes it sound easier than explaining all that.]
Yes, okay. Go out with me then, Bakugo.

If you want to joint a sports team, you'd be better off looking at the schools. The other teams are already established as pros.
Why do you want a public gym?
no subject
Date: 4/29/24 02:21 (UTC)Maybe that, too. We're still school age. Maybe I'll see if they have schools. Isn't it normal to go to school?
I could meet people with fitness interests. Maybe I'll meet someone you'd like, too. You're a likeable person.
no subject
Date: 4/29/24 02:33 (UTC)[They stare because you're pretty.]
Of course it's normal, when you're not in a kaiju war! Ask Shashou about the one he went to.
[Bakugo self-schools since he's working another job.]
You wanna get punched?

I guess that's how it would work, wouldn't it? I've never really thought about it.
[Day to day jobs don't run in his family, even his sister went for a job that keeps her pretty busy aside the house itself. As for his question...]
Probably to attend the classes, likely about eight hours a day if they're even generally standard.
He's rage.
