[it's not fucking embarrassing! (yes it is.) it's just stupid! if he were interested in dating, he go out and do it himself rather than needing some fucking app to try and trick/prompt/goad him into shacking up with a bunch of random extras! bakugou might be a piece of violent work with zero romantic bones in his body (he'd say) but he still thinks dating and more is something special. something you do with people you're close to or interested in or want to be invested in. it's not something you do with just any fucking one. that's... called 'hanging out' or the like, and he even has issues with doing that. people get the wrong idea about dating teasing happens soon after, there come awkward questions, feelings happen, all of that shit which should be done with someone worth doing it with. it goes into "sappy" territory, crashing against the "tough guy" image who stands alone and proud above everyone else. bakugou has some issues with that toxic masculinity flavoring his pride, which comes through when topics like these broach the surface of his life. some people are fine using the dating app. some people like to go out on flings, have one-night stands, and have casual hook-ups. fine for them. such isn't the case for bakugou.
there's a reason he only heated up baths for people he was close to in neo tokyo...
if bakugou's aware that comment rammed denji in the spleen, he doesn't show it. nor does he expect the guy to take it negatively. maybe shock him, but denji's not the kind of guy such a thing would simply bounce off of. the fact is, denji invited bakugou to dinner with him. even if they had it "in" rather than "out" and even if they made it themselves rather than ordered it. just them, in the kitchen, eating together, talking, while other people were out running around on 'dates' with other people... you know, if this makes denji get hot under the collar, bakugou's not apologizing.]
You're not-? [the blonde scowls across his shoulder at denji. the hell's he denying? he literally just got done having dinner with him, a dinner he literally invited bakugou to sit down with him and make/have together. does he need to see the damn text again? just if denji's gonna tease him about dates, he's going to whap this very "date" down in front of him and see how the half-devil gets on with it... and denji gets on with the same kind of tired honesty bakugou's come to expect from him.
thank you. he knew that's what it was on the surface. even a celebration of making it through the kaiju fight. but there's something personal about this as well bakugou caught onto from the initial request. he only grunts at the vocal admission and returns to the dishes, finishing up the bowls and passing them to denji to dry. last thing, so no, he's not going to clean up the entire kitchen. they have dessert and a movie to do, right? ... which makes this even more of a date than before. saying so might just make denji's head explode and bakugou walk the fuck back to his room.
until the guy blatantly asks it.
is this a date? is it romantic? does it mean more? is it one of those things bakugou would consider date worthy? well, denji's obviously not the first person he's sat down and ate with alone in his life. but... he frowns in thought.]
Tch, some people might think it's romantic. If that was the intent. [to have a romantic dinner for two together. this was more hanging out. and yet, it's not just that, right?] If we made these plans over that app, you'd call it a date, wouldn't you?
[that's what denji was teasing him about earlier, right? ... and bakugou did give him the check mark, one denji so adamantly demanded back when the blonde yoinked it.]
