[ hmm. are they going to talk about how they normalized sharing a shower so casually? not only that, but they are also now including activities into the mix. it's like he knew there was something off about how he's okay with it, but at the same time is it such a taboo considering where they came from? public baths are a common thing in Japan, right? anyway, denji would rather engage in fun activities instead of being trapped alone with his thoughts, so there is no excuse from his side to question anything further. bakugou reassuring him that he’s taking this competition seriously just made it even more amusing and he’s looking forward to it. how bad will it be? how bad will their voices merge in the echo-induced chamber of the bathroom's walls? it will be a mess. one will be pissed off and the other will laugh his heart out. it's perfect.
lazily, denji rolled his head back, trying to sneak a glimpse of the other boy as he proceeded to leave the table, walk away from him, and move toward the sink to clean up the dishes. ah, he should help, but he felt like staying where he was, still relishing the aftermath of that delicious meal. the fulfillment is both sedating and cushy. the outburst is somewhat predictable since denji intended to tease him on purpose, but then he thought about it. what's the big deal? ]

Everyone jumped on it like hungry hippos. It says something, doesn't it? [ humans or not, they all share one desire. ] It came out of nowhere, but I like it ...
