[That gets a roll of Bakugo's eyes, and he moves to sit next to Deku, with a good foot or two between them.

It's weird and awkward having this conversation, honestly. It hasn't even started and Bakugo feels embarrassed, ashamed he's upset by this in the first place. But if there's anything he's learned, more than anything else during his time in UA, it's to swallow his pride when he needs to. He loathes having to, but he knows now not to just stubbornly ignore his own weakness or emotions all the time... even though he still has a problem with people he's not close to.

But Deku's closer than anyone else he's ever known. In a completely different sense than the usual "closeness" would be. But he's always been there from the start, and even now he's still here.

Which is why he's swallowing his pride this time, so he can try to help Deku. Though it's not because of any emotions he has towards him or anything like that, it's because it's what a Hero would do. That's the excuse he settled on, anyway.]

...when you were four years old. A kid fell off a log into a river, and you offered to help him even though he was fine.

[He looks over at Deku from the corner of his eye, studying his expression to see if it jogs his memory at all.]
