Don't tell me what to do. [mild growling against denji's ear in retort. he'll thank him preemptively if he wants and there's shit all the half-devil can do about it! will he grouse at him for doing something immoral and "wrong" to get him back? depends on the severity. don't kill one of their allies, babe. bakugou would never accept major crime as an answer to help him. something for later them to discuss if such a result comes to pass. right now, he's more focused on pulling the shrimp from the skewer and passing one of the hot juicy curls to his mouth for munches. if it happens to be close to denji's ear, it's what you get for slouching in his lap. was it better or worse to admit his own concerns and fears? he can't tell. pretending he wasn't afraid or worried is his normal method, refusing to let anyone see him as anything other than a stalwart pillar of strength, reliable and undefeatable. does it help denji to know bakugou's just as human as he is? or does it make him feel worse? he can't tell in times like these.]
Tch. It won't stop. [he swallows the shrimp and rests his chin on denji's shoulder again, fingers still messing with the skewer for another shrimp.] Fucking pisses me off I didn't noticed Twintails wasn't with us before we left Egypt. How the hell did we leave without making sure everyone was there? And now other Outsiders are getting yanked into portals like a buncha goddamn ninja snatching. [he rips the shrimp off the skewer and plunges it into his mouth, chewing grumpily.] Being frustrated with yourself and wanting to do more proves you're not willing to settle on a plateau. A lot of heroes wrestle with the same feeling. So don't let it discourage you from improving.
[there are many times he's beaten himself up after the fact, cursing and grumbling in his head over all the things he could've done better, the mistakes he shouldn't have made, and improvements he needed to make. denji's no different from him in that regard, minus the severity and amount. initially he thought denji was pretty pathetic, and he knows well enough even now the other boy is broken in ways he'll never completely understand. but he chose to stick with him for his own reasons. and eventually fell for the very same guy. he's seen denji rush out to save people he barely knew, he's seen him seated beside friends and caring for them, he's seen him working to improve himself for the sake of others as well as himself. bakugou didn't ask for a "better" experience from his boyfriend. he's fine with the man he loves working at his own pace. he wraps his arm more securely around denji's body, legs keeping him embraced within his lap. chest to back, heartbeat to heartbeat.]
