Yato's wedding already has three things going for it. One, Bakugo knows the person getting married. Two, his parents aren't here to slobber all over each other's faces. Three, he's not gonna have to wear a tie. Who knows what the food and after party are going to be like.
And no, he's not going to put his personal preference in on Yato's wedding menu. That's a shit thing to do.]
Nothing we can do about it. [Show up, kick the kaiju's ass, and deal with the fallout while some weird event happens as they recover from travel or injury. Bakugo also got antsy during the holidays, expecting something to blow up in their faces, but nothing did, and he ultimately realized it was going to be a quiet month to rest. Finally. He got plenty of good sleep. For reasons that started with D.]
Aa. Ask your girlfriend. Girls always have networks. [Look at him, being stereotypical to teenage girls. Though he'd be lying if he thought Ereshkigal would be against planning a wedding. She'd probably be happy to do something uplifting and help remove the dour shadow over her skills. Wriothesley wouldn't want them to mourn him forever.]
[Hurray for Yato's wedding turning out to be something that Bakugo might possibly be able to enjoy, then! The last thing the god wants is for any of his guests, especially one as special as Bakugo, to be uncomfortable or unhappy during the celebrations.]
True. Just gotta plow through it. [In a way, falling into this kind of routine is at least somewhat comfortable in its predictability, aside from the holiday lull proving almost more stressful than a kaiju month itself. But if that's something that happens every year, then at least they should know by now? Even if it's somewhat upsetting to think about being here for a whole extra year...]
Really? Huh, I guess you're right... She definitely had friends to rely on back home. She probably has a bunch here, too. [He's not wrong in this case, at least. Besides, it's meant to be a day for Hiyori, so getting her friends in on the planning and organizing would be ideal compared to Yato himself trying to handle everything alone. And the more people they can involve, hopefully they'll be able to share their happiness with them. Heavens know they all could use some positivity, even now after all those months ago.]
[He griped about going to the meal/speech portion of a hero support gear convention on a floating island. Aka: even if he's having fun, it's rare he's actually going to show it. Might even look uncomfortable when he's not really. Just one of the perks of having a bad case of RBF.
Yato's not wrong about comfort in rhythm. Unfortunately it's so damn destructive, it can't get "boring" in its existence. Contrary, it's frustrating this pattern's formed and nothing seems to change upstairs. There should be better prediction, better preparation. Sitting around and waiting each time fucking sucks. Bakugo shoves the thoughts aside, not wanting them to ruin a far more entertaining topic. If it weren't so damn late at night...]
Make sure you discuss your decisions with her. If you two can't agree on something, work it out. [Probably use wedding planning as some kind of practice exam for how compatible they are. Or something. He doesn't know; weddings were never big in his life.
Just make sure there aren't too many cooks in the proverbial kitchen. Above all, this is Yato and Hiyori's wedding. Everyone else needs to understand and accept that before agreeing to help in any way.]
[Haha... Well, as long as he's actually enjoying himself despite what he's showing outwardly, then it's all good. Not everyone needs to be so transparently happy as people like Yato himself. Even the RBFs are welcome.
All points he can't and doesn't want to argue, honestly. Especially since their time in Seoul, things have been way too crazy in a bad sort of way. It often feels like they're not making any progress at all, if not flat out failing and falling behind by letting people get hurt, even if they don't mean to. But ah well... What can they do but continue trying?]
Will do~ Can't have me deciding everything only to find out it doesn't appeal to her. [It'll be a good testament to how well they can problem solve and work together, that's for sure. It's a big undertaking, wedding planning. So no shame in getting help, though he's right about too many cooks being a potential problem. Yato's the sort who wants to please everyone, so he has to keep in mind the most important person of all: Hiyori.]
[That's basically what happens. Growls, scowls, goes back home, lies in bed, calls it stupid... then rolls over and admits it wasn't that bad as he relaxes. Yato can be be happy for a million people. Katsuki's gonna be himself.
Yeah, his confidence was shaken hard in Seoul, both his trust in LILITH's ability to direct them successfully and his own faith in the correct decision of the Outsiders. They were different, but unified with varying thoughts until then. After Seoul, however, now a major chasm splits them, those who wanted to stay and those who wanted to chase. Eternally available for comment and dragging up in word and thought. Romania didn't help matters either, their security ripped away by kidnapping and helplessness, followed by a divide between those who killed and those who didn't.
And that's not even mentioning progress. One more monster down, another one takes its place. But if there's any silver lining, it's that they're not getting calls screamed at them every week about kaiju showing up all over the world. So that's... something. One every other months is better than getting blitzed.
Anyways. He can bitch about that to Yato another time.]
No shit. Starting your marriage out at odds is for losers. [Plus preferences and likes, though if you don't know that about someone already, you probably shouldn't be getting married. Holy fuck, NO YATO! Don't please anyone but your wife and yourself when it comes to your wedding, dammit! If Katsuki gets a mere whiff of Yato wanting to change something cause some shitty extra doesn't like it, he's going to have the god against the wall.
[Those months definitely did a number to the unity of their teams, that's for damned sure. Perhaps that's why it seems like LILITH is intent on putting them through these team-building exercises in an effort to repair the damage that's been done from their mistakes. Whether it actually works or not remains to be seen, but hopefully it won't hurt any. They need to get their act together if they're to continue facing off against the kaiju as a unified group.
But yeah. Better a steady trickle of kaiju than a huge flood the fuckers. The former they can handle, the latter... Not so much.]
And I definitely don't want to be a loser in that way, heh. [Thankfully he's got a pretty damn good idea of what Hiyori likes and doesn't like already, so that's not a problem overall. Though Katsuki might have to throttle him a bit if he gets wind of Yato being a bit of a pushover regarding his own wedding. He's just dumb like that sometimes. Idiot god, indeed.]
I think you'll like her. She's sensible and has a good head on her shoulders. You'll have to tell me what you think once you guys do meet.
[They can shove off with their stupid team building exercises. They acted on the information provided and LILITH was the one who guided them to the wrong fucking location! But excuses are for losers and Katsuki rarely accepts them, outside his usual boisterous nature and childish denials. He took the loss hard, but doesn't see LILITH's invasive bullcrap as much help in making the team work better. How the fuck does shoving someone in a Santa suit and forcing lap sitting build camaraderie among a group of different people?
Whatever. Kill the fucking kaiju next time and there won't be any split decisions.]
Don't be one at all, dumbass. [RIP Yato for always finding some way to be called a loser. Katsuki even called his classmates losers because they weren't dating. What a jerk. He trusts the god to handle his marriage well. Yato might be a moron at times, but his emotions and efforts are genuine. If Hiyori's put up with him this long, she knows what she's getting into with him.
He will throttle him... and whoever tried pushing their shit wants on someone else's wedding.]
Why does it matter what I think? You're marrying her.
[It is rather dubious as to how crap like the Santa-sitting and mistletoe (if they're still blaming it on them) could help rebuild the trust and bonds between their various groups among the Outsiders. Especially when it wasn't them who got the location wrong. It's more their trust in LILITH itself that needs work at this point, meaning they need to shape up and get their shit together. Here's to hoping, anyway.]
Right, right, heh... [When you're good, you're good. Besides, being seen as something of a bumbling idiot is kind of his thing anymore. Doesn't mean he's a total moron, though; he has a good sense of decency and a kind heart when it counts.
[If Yato wants to keep playing the fool for his own entertainment and the ease of others, he's more than welcome to. Katsuki's going to keep treating him like a moron, even if he knows the guy's a lot smarter (with deeper issues) than he comes off. Along with that big heart of his. He's a good guy and Katsuki knows it.
Perhaps it's not the same as the infamous "hero's fine" that Denji calls Katsuki and other hero types out on when they're hiding their struggles. But he trusts Yato to know when to draw a line.]
Does she call people in the dead of night half-drunk too?
[Because that's still a thing right now and fuck if it's a good friend-making trait.]
[That works for Yato - it's a nice, comfortable thing they've got going between them; no need to shake it up with sappiness or their (his) issues. So long as Katsuki knows he's not a total hopeless idiot and trusts him enough to rely on him, all is well in Yato's book.]
Eh? Oh-- No, no way...! Uh, er, it is late, isn't it? I should probably let you sleep, huh? Um, have a good night and sleep well...? Hehe...
[At least as well as he can given SOME IDIOT woke him up to chat in the middle of the night.]
[He's welcome to bring up his issues and Katsuki will advise him the same way he does for others. Tell him to shut up and gripe about why he came to him, or tell him bluntly what he thinks he should do. Probably in harsher language than necessary, but whatever. Yato knows him well enough to get the message. Katsuki's seen the person under the god's usual exterior and that's the person he tends to talk to when advising him. He's a reliable friend.]
Uh-huh. [In that very pointed sarcasm sort of way. Very late. Should've let him sleep All Night, you know.] You're on water for the rest of the night. Otherwise, I'm gonna be worse than your fucking hangover.
[Not that Yato gets major ones, being a god and all. Look, immortality aside, he's still got the rest of his divine attributes. Some maybe toned down, but not gone.]
[That's why Katsuki is one of his most favorite people: he's there if Yato needs an ear, able to give advice however tough, and yet he's not one to be unnecessarily cruel or overly soft when doing so. Added to the fact Katsuki knows him on a deeper level than most everyone here and he's truly someone that can be counted on in a pinch.]
Got it~ No more booze or bothering for me. I don't wanna risk your wrath, hehe... [He's certain punishment would be swift and painful, that's for sure.]
[Well, this is the guy Yato asked to be his best man. Guess he'll be looking up wedding crap tomorrow and grumbling about it while doing his part to make everything great. That's the kind of person he is.]
Too late.
[He's also gonna kill Yato tomorrow too. Smoking outline in the wall. That or wake him up when he's sleeping.
