[Well, that's flattering! Loki looks very surprised for a moment, then smiles and shakes his head.] Cats are more in Freya's providence than mine, but since she's not here, you're stuck with me.
[He sets the drinks on the nearest table and crouches to take things out of the bag, like a cut rate Santa Claus.] I didn't get a dish for food, just for water, but you can put things on a normal plate for him.
You alwaays make me smile. Saad ure not here or a few years older. Youget e. Dont know why. But you do. It would be some impossible thiing. This is why I neeed less water. Sober tastes terrible.
[Responsibility? No. Challenge? Yes. Kirishima's insecurities may ultimately be Kirishima's to put down, but Bakugou's responsibility to the man he loves is to help him. How can he claim to be a hero who holds the responsibility to save civilians and win against threats and yet do neither for the person he loves? Whenever his boyfriend faces these doubts and challenges, Bakugou's responsibility, as Kirishima's lover, is to stand beside him and support him against the challenge.
That's a horse's role to his rider. No one said Red Riot was the only steed in their pair.
Both of them know Bakugou is bad about admitting to his own failings and struggles, always wanting to work on them on his own and refuse to acknowledge his weakness so easily. In a way, because he recognizes this, Bakugou doesn't want Kirishima to fall into the same pattern... Someone like Kirishima shouldn't be closed off and struggling alone.]
damn right we are.
everyone cares what people say or think in some way. but you can't control what people think. people are gonna be fucking idiots with opinions no matter what you do.
tch, you know there's shit online. don't base yourself on their crap.
[Katsuki's not one to talk. A smear at him, an insult, even the TV crew not giving him the exposure he thinks he deserves, those will all get him exploding and raging. But that just fuels him to keep going and prove the fuckers wrong the next time. If someone has an issue with him, they can say it to his face or their point's fucking useless. It's why Yaoyorozu's criticism of him that first time got to him so much. On top of losing to Deku in front of everyone, she revealed Katsuki's mistakes out loud for his classmates and teacher to hear. That's much harder to ignore.
But these people? These faceless assholes online who'll always find something to bitch and whine about even when they don't have a fucking proverbial dog in the fight, and wouldn't dare do a single thing any of the heroes do? Why the fuck should, or anyone, give a rat's ass about what they think?
Katsuki knows why. Yet knowing it and still resisting it at least make the intention mean something.]
Yeah, but see what's intellect without connections? I can't just page someone to bring me vodka, some of us have to get it ourselves like the riffraff we are. Now, if I were really smart I'd invent something to do that for me.
Wanna help me come up with something? I'm thinking like a shot catapult. Or maybe I just need a really long straw. What do you think?
