[the meal is worth it. bakugou put some effort into this katsudon, even it if looked effortless to denji. a proper balance of vegetables and meat with the rice and seasoning isn't the easiest thing to do (and damn is he glad denji doesn't dislike vegetables or else there'd be fights) but he wanted the meal to be special. the half-devil obviously thought it was so and the hero decided to return the sentiment. well, not everything bakugou touches ends up great. denji should see the guy's interviews; they don't even air his loud, foul-mouthed segments on live news, much to bakugo's rage. and anyone could point out the blonde's social skills suck. badly.
denji strikes him as someone who sways between the two, coming off as naive and kind one moment, then being blunt and rude (even without meaning to) the next, depending on his excitement, disinterest, or irritation at whatever he's currently encountering. it's not a lie to say bakugou's never met someone like denji. how can the guy be so hollow and blank canvas, yet also have such a defined personality inside him, and still shadow the aura of someone who's on the verge of snapping mentally at any given time? tch. if his being around denji can positively influence the guy to better himself, bakugou's not about to stop it. he won't admit the notion, but he really wants to see denji grow. there's a good person in there, someone who didn't deserve the shit life he was given. he makes bakugou want to reach out to him, both as a hero and a person.]
I'm not going anywhere.
[while he often can, and likes to, handle things on his own, since he can go at his own pace and accomplish it must faster and more efficiently than most other people, bakugou's had to learn to fight on a team. picky and demanding with his teammates, he's not any "better" or "worse" on a team than he is solo. yet some teammates he meshes better with. denji's one of them. on top of the guy being more willing to work with the flow bakugou needs, he's not stupid, and carries his own strength and battle smarts enough the blonde doesn't feel like he has to hold his hand. the revving of chainsaws has become a sound he associates with confidence, knowing denji has his back in a battle. chainsaw man is one of the few people dynmight will actively seek out for a mission to team up with, having acknowledged the guy's prowess as a teammate. it might be gory, but hey, monsters are already ugly as fuck, so mow them down. bakugou's always going on about splattering people and slaughtering enemies anyways.
biting off another piece of meat, he arches a brow when denji eyes him like that. for a moment, he expects something, then realizes the half-devil's thinking. while staring at him. ugh, annoying. the returning hot water shouldn't take this long to factor as a "yea" or "nay" in denji's brain. who wants freezing cold showers in the first place? even coming in from hot work outside doesn't make people crank it to "fucking frigid" any day of the week.
denji moves again and breaks the eye contact, so bakugou goes back to his food. he grunts at the suggestion of singing it out together and takes another bite. there's a few ways he could take that, but...] You think you can beat me at karaoke or something?
