I'd like to think that shitty Deku is better than that. But there are days where even I wonder.

[ He's actually not that terrible but Bakugou just has stupidly high standards for things. ]

Your shit was easier on my tongue to do anyway. None of that overly sweet garbage.

[emet_sulk]

Hah. It seems we have something in common after all.

Perhaps you could show me how to make those lemon cakes sometime.

[apshot]

[ Ah huh. Yeah... "in common" all right.

It takes a moment for Katsuki to get back on this. Not the first time that someone has asked him for things like this. ]

Wouldn't hurt if you're out to impress your "companion."

[emet_sulk]

Not so much to impress as to have something I can make as a gesture of gratitude every once in a while. Or a reward for good behaviour.

[ At least Emet-Selch won't be incompetent student? ]

[apshot]

Is he your partner or your pet?

[ And see that's what makes Katsuki even consider it. ]

[emet_sulk]

Sometimes he does feel much like the latter. My hope is that if I take the initiative to appease him then he will stop acting out for my attention.

[apshot]

Is that what you really want? Less attention?

[ Bakugou isn't the same. He wants Deku's eyes to never leave his goddamn back. ]

[emet_sulk]

No. I said I want him to stop acting out for it. Of course I desire his attention.

[apshot]

You two are extremely fucking weird. Anyone ever say that?

[emet_sulk]

I believe this is where one traditionally says, "You will understand when you are older."

[apshot]

I honestly really don't want to understand. You guys can keep that shit to yourself.

[emet_sulk]

If you insist. Although I'm sure you will change your tune in a few years' time.

[apshot]

Not if your partner doesn't give mine any more ideas. I've already gotta deal with "Kacchan Kacchan Kacchan" all the damn time.

[emet_sulk]

Are you saying you want less attention from him?

[ Tossing those words right back at you, boy. ]

[apshot]

Course not!

Just doesn't YOURS have a nickname for you that also makes you cringe a little?

[emet_sulk]

[ He's right but does he have to say it. ]

If you truly dislike it and your friend has your best interests at heart, it should be a simple matter to tell them to stop using it.

[ Not really answering the question there. ]

[apshot]

So why don't you tell yours to stop the shit that annoys you?

[ He can play that game too ]

[emet_sulk]

Have you met Hythlodaeus? He takes 'no' for permission and permission as encouragement. Rather than corral his antics, I have taken to turning them back on him. It is proving quite effective.

[apshot]

I don't know?

[ He has, but as a bird. ]

Just how do you do shit like that then?

[emet_sulk]

How do I reign him in, you mean? If he attempts to fluster me then I do the same to him.

You said your friend has a pet name for you, yes? Why not come up with one of your own for him?

[ What he doesn't mention is that he's 99% sure with Izuku being the earnest sort, that this will completely backfire on Bakugou. ]

[apshot]

Does it work? I have a feeling that it doesn't really work out for you all the time.

[ As for Izuku... ]

And the nickname is just something that he's called me since we were brats. He's never called me anything else but

[ He's thinking about it. ]

[emet_sulk]

It is not foolproof but the man is a bigger fool than most. Your friend, however, has not Hythlodaeus' capacity for mischief. I'm sure you will be able to handle him better.

Hmm, come to think of it, I seem to recall you calling your friend by another name. His proper name is 'Izuku', yes?

[apshot]

Your guy sounds like one big pain. One that needs a swift kick in the ass.

As for Izuku? Yeah, that's his given name. Seeing it written out in our language you'd probably get how I could get "Deku" out of it. Asshole's made it his hero name.

[emet_sulk]

So you already have pet names for one another. How...endearing. Does it anger you to hear others call him by it?

[apshot]

Not really. I'll just find something else to call him
