[He didn't think he'd get an answer. Honestly doesn't care who the hell put this guy up to such a stupid thing. Someone who wants to see him debase himself or someone who thinks they're being so damn funny.
Yeah, the second he notices Chobe looking at his watch and mentions selling it-
*WHAP!*
Bakugo slams his hand over the guy's wrist, a muffling crack and sputter of explosions bursting and fizzling on the surface. Meaning the entire begging spiel Chobe gives a second later doesn't even make it to the recording.]
Don't ever treat yourself like shit in front of me.
[Damn, he almost forgot how speedy this guy can be. But he just grins--the bit before was enough. Though he does shake his wrist lightly, making sure it's not broken]
Aw, do you actually care that much, brat? Or do you just hate not being in on the joke?
Hah? [Now that raises an eyebrow proper. From what little he knows, Bakugo takes everything seriously, but even this is a bit much for him.]
Well shit, you really are pissed. Listen, the only person I debase myself for is for me. I'm just reeeally good at adapting. [That, and he's done far, far worse, and been humbled in ways that will never be brought to light if he has any say in it. A dumb game like this? He might as well be playing something as trivial as hopscotch.]
[Maybe it's trivial for Chobe, but for him, it's disgusting.
He values strength and pride. People who don't try to make things happen or improve themselves are idiots, especially if they complain about their lives. Seeing someone who he knows is strong and able, lowering himself to a begging fool (and sounding like an idiot to boot) because someone else wants to get their laughs at his intended humiliation, is gross.
And he doesn't want to be a part of that person's satisfaction, or an accomplice in said shithead's dumb mockery attempt.]
Like I'd ever do something stupid cause an asshole extra told me to.
[Ignoring the entire reason they're talking is because some giant golden asshole bird is coaxing them to get along in their cage.
Bakugo lets go of Chobe's wrist.]
You think they'd be pissed if they didn't get to see it?
[Prideful as a lion. He lets his wrist drop to his side when it's released, eyeing the hero. Ideals once again clashing--Chobe has no issue lowering himself to such depths, if it means getting something out of it. Be what others want you to be, lure them in, and then put yourself in a position of power. Humiliation's just another method of deceit to him. Casual manipulation vs the hero's steadfast pride.
It's almost as annoying as it is entertaining.]
"Extras," heh. Nah, the main part was the begging and asking bit, so they heard what they needed to. I can make it up to 'em later.
Besides, it's just a game. With that reaction though, s'no surprise you ain't giving it the time of day.
[Bakugo has no intention of being anything someone else wants him to be; he controls his own self and fate. Any changes, improvements, being, will be his own choice for his own wants. Yeah, he's irked Chobe opted to come to him for this. The hell did this guy think he was? But he's also pissed at whoever put the guy up to it in the first place.
Tch, and for a little moment, he thought this asshole actually needed help. Did he attack that woman just to set the scene when he arrived? Tempting as fuck to blast his head off and leave for pulling this sort of bullshit.]
Cause you tried to fucking bait me.
[All he had to do was beg/ask for the leash and collar? That's a stupid dare. He frowns at the "make it up" part, but dismisses the "game" comment with a snort.
Then leans in slightly, eyes narrowing a scant fraction as he looks at Chobe's neck. To the braid dangling off the side by his jaw. His teeth. Collar. Back to his neck again.]
[He absolutely just nabbed the chick to make a little scene. Relatively peaceful as the casino may be, he's still a villain through and through. Even for a harmless game, he can't help but terrorize their surrounding audience just a little, as a treat.
He snickers at the remark though, bringing a hand up to flick at his head.]
I'm partial to red, myself. So you ain't as much of a prude as you act like, eh? Not that I get the appeal of the whole leash and collar bit, but it's vanilla as far as I'm concerned.
[One day he's gonna nab someone he can't handle. Bakugo's not sure if he could outlast Chobe's immortality, as he suspects there's a limit, but it wouldn't matter here if he could. No, he's suspecting the guy's gonna bother someone who can seal him or curse him or something. Hilarious as it'd be.
Bakugo snorts at the flick and knocks the man's hand away.]
I'm not a fucking prude, idiot! [Just cause he's kinda vanilla doesn't mean prude! Jeeze...] If I want you in a leash and collar, it'll be cause I think it's hot.
[Not someone else. As if he didn't make that clear a second ago.]
[So vanilla. If not for his foul mouth and literal explosive personality, Chobe would put him on par with a standard preacher boy or shrine maiden. Bakugo's right though--he absolutely will bite off more than he can chew some day and mock the wrong person. Still, he welcomes the challenge, and the karma.
For now though, that shit eating grin is back, and he lets out another cackle.]
Hmmm. Dunno if such filth is fit for your delicate ears, hero! Wouldn't want me to corrupt you, do ya?
[Ironically it's less to do with Bakugo being embarrassed about certain kinks and more he's too impatient to bother with them. Who the hell wants to waste time dripping hot wax on people or mess with tying them up when you could spend that time, you know, fucking and feeling great! Don't get him started on people who dress up in costumes -- the purpose is just to take them off, dammit!
(If Chobe does meet a match, Bakugo will likely come help him if he's being unfairly abused. Buuut he'll take his time and laugh at him when he gets there.)
Ugh, this asshole's gonna piss him off for a while different reason now!]
I've been in this shithole for over a year and haven't buckled once! What the hell do you think you're gonna do?
[Just become a masochist or sadist buddy, the mental high from kinks really skyrockets then. That or Chobe's just fucked in the head.
He cocks his head, bringing a hand up as he taps at his chin in faux thoughtfulness.]
Huuuh, that is true, you've been here longer. Then tell me--you ain't gotta name names, but what do you think's the most risque shit you've dipped yer toes into?
[Chobe's fucked in the head. End of story. Sure, he's aware some pain's good. Like stretching, but nothing as a masochist or sadist would get off on. Kinks are fine if they're worked in seamlessly without delaying.
Even if it might take some "WTF" moments to deal with a weird one.]
Tch... [Why the hell's he gotta tell him anything?] That shitty phone booth in February.
[He absolutely completely missed the cupid event, but is more confused about a phone booth. As in. What the FUCK is that!!]
No?? Wait wait, a phone is what folks use to make calls instead of the watches sometimes, right? Why do you need a booth to do that? Is it like a talking kink?
[Get drunk and get into near death fights, works for Chobe!! He squints at the images, his face betraying him as his brow furrows and he looks even more confused.]
You took down a whole bathroom and you couldn't blast your way out of that? Bullshit. I still don't get it though, what, was it too small a space? I've fucked in cramped places before, it can't be that bad.
[Sorry Bakugo this man's shamelessness is way too high to see anything wrong with this scenario,,, He scratches at his head, still not quite sure which part of that the hero was so offended by, but finally figures it's not worthy pressing.]
Eh. . .I guess that does happen sometimes, yeah. Weird ass magic shit.
Not much of an answer though. If that's your idea of kinky you got a long way to go. . .ain't no reason to try to force it, I guess. Gotta figure out what you like on your own, or just try shit when you wanna.
[He's figured that out by now. Obviously they have different tolerances. But he asked what was one of the most risky things Bakugo ever did, and there's his answer. Fucking in a phone booth in the resort.]
Duh.
[How suddenly magnanimous of Chobe. He glances at the shop they've been standing by the entire time. Was the deal really to only ask for a leash and collar, or get it as well? Some part of his pride is twitching at wanting to show the man he's not some damn prude. The other part doesn't give a shit about proving anything to him. Sexually at least.]
[Aza Chobe is a weird contradiction of boundaries. He doesn't consider public phone booth sex risque or kinky in the least, voyeurism be damned, but he also rather folks come to that conclusion on their own time. While he embraces his shameless way of living, he wouldn't wish the circumstances that gave him that mountain of confidence on anyone.
But who cares about that! He looks briefly surprised when the hero brings the offer back up with no prompting. Maybe Bakugo's a bundle of contradictions on his own.]
Ah? Feeling generous all of sudden? I wouldn't say no to it.
The dare's been pretty much satisfied, so if ya pick something out, that's all on you. Still partial to red, but I tend to default to what others wanna see.
[Unlike Bakugo, who generally forces his expectations and high standards on other people. Luckily it doesn't show up during sex (for the most part), though he gets pissed if someone thinks he or she's gonna lie there and be a pillow queen the entire time while he does all the work. Quiet, lazy, boring, non-responsive partners are a huge turn off. But when he's partnering up with someone for a gen activity? Yeah, he expects their full strength and focus!
Bakugo finds Chobe's confidence attractive, even if he's irked by his loose morals and chaos-loving personality. So long as he keeps the majority of that criminal activity off the table around him, they won't get into a clash. Hence just telling him to drop the woman and then no explosions happened.
And while he's not gonna be someone's putz, he never said he wasn't gonna get Chobe a leash or collar.]
I'm not getting it cause of someone's shitty dare.
[And heads towards the store, gesturing with his head for Chobe to come with him. He's getting it cause he wants to see Chobe in a collar. Just like he said.]
[Meanwhile, this guy takes that as a challenge. What better compliment than to get a lazy partner so worked up they can't help but respond? But that's something specifically baked into Chobe's dna--gotta figure out what makes others ticks if he wants the power boost his tao gets from sex.
A little huff of a laugh, and he follows him in. He takes a moment to actually scan the store to see what's in it--for all his big talk, when it comes to himself and he's not preoccupied pleasing someone? Simplicity can satisfy him enough. It's a bit boring, but it's like eating vegetables. He doesn't mind it, and it's good for you, and he'd rather be eating a burger, but he's not gonna complain.
His attention snaps back at the question, mulling over the last few weeks. Between the heartbeat shit and his suit wigging out, all the nonsense of the casino blurs together.]
I live down there so yeah. What, you get dragged into all the looting and bullshit that was happening? Surprised I didn't see your ass zipping around playing crowd control.
[Another thing these two can be diametrically opposed to with each other. Bakugo's not interested in figuring out other people's inner workings during sex (or most ever really) and would rather get to the action and feeling amazing. Sass each other, tease, flirt, banter, wrestle, make it an active rush blowing all else out the window.
Chobe better have been standing outside a sex-related shop. If they were looking for a collar and leash in a damn grocery store... Lucky for him, it is, with rows of items ranging from sex toys to weird outfits to other accessories for interesting heated play. Good on you for eating your vegetables, Weed Face. Bakugo won't have to yell at him if they ever have a meal together and the guy starts pushing peas off his plate like a 5-year-old brat.]
I was in the basement when the riots broke out. [Trying to make sure a friend wasn't gonna get killed by whatever was lurking around in those stupid corridors.
But that's not what he wants to focus on. Bakugo picks up a leash from the display wall.] Did you see the heart?
