[ It's not there, that boundless faith Izuku always had in Katsuki that pissed him off before. The feeling of thinking Izuku was looking down at him, because he thought Izuku felt he could do better. Realizing only recently what Izuku actually felt for him was something else entirely. It grated on his nerves, made the pit of his stomach turn - was he foolish for thinking things could go back to how it was all over again?
The apology to him was supposed to close off any discrepancies between them, so he can see that same beaming face that always yells stupidly at him - Kacchan Sugoi!
The way Izuku looks at him now, Katsuki bites the inside of his cheek and slaps Izuku's hand away. It's too much for him, and with the air of someone hurt in the same tone he had back in ground zero, Katsuki barks back at him, ]
NO, IT'S YOU WHO NEEDS TO! [ Doesn't he see he's trying to help build his ego back? Sit here training with him - SOMETHING HE DOESN'T want to do, because they are supposed to be rivals. Aiming to be better than the other, chasing one another's heels. Not here spending the time that he is trying to push him farther than he thinks he is, and trying to support him when he feels he has no one at his back - Katsuki is annoyed. Angry, full of a sense of grief, he doesn't like it because it means he is weak.
Is made weak by him. ]
FUCK! [ He tries to throw a punch at him, out of nowhere. ] You're so god damn STUPID!? [ Wants to shove him back onto the ground - ] YOU TALK TO ME DIPSHIT!!
[Izuku withdraws his hand when the other slaps it away. Figuring that the other wants space. He's shifting to step back to give Bakugo some when the other throws a punch, the failed attempt to dodge it causing him to slip and fall back. He winces as he lands, his cheek red from where the other hit him with the punch, one gloved hand raising to it as the other lies beside him as he had attempted to catch himself.]
And say what? What do you expect me to tell you?
[How he was terrified if he wasn't enough. If he can't defeat All For One or Shigaraki. The chances that his friends would get hurt helping him. Izuku already feels bad about leaving like he did. Let alone if the others got hurt or killed trying to help him in this. Even if part of him does acknowledge that he can't very well do it on his own. Izuku had already mentioned that. There's no point in going over it more. He doesn't want to worry Bakugo or any of the others more than he already has. He's oblivious to the other's feelings for him, so, of course, he can't exactly say anything to address that. It isn't like the other punching him was anything new. He's had worse injuries.]
THAT YOU'RE FUCKING TIRED - THAT YOU'RE GOD DAMN FUCKING SCARED? THAT YOU ARE LIAR AND DON'T TRUST ME - FUCKING ANYTHING? [ Kastuki is ontop of him now, if he hasn't scrambled to stand back up onto his feet. Meaning to push him onto the ground, shove him below him - make him aware that Katsuki is far above him in everyway - ] YOU WANT TO GET ON MY ASS FOR NOT TALKING, BUT DON'T EVEN DO IT YOURSELF - LITERALLY LOOK AT YOURSELF?
[Izuku blinks, his eyes briefly widening as Bakugo straddles on top of him before he can make to get back up. Hearing him yell out those insecurities. He closes his eyes briefly, his lips pursed as if that will hide that they quiver, tremble.]
Fine! I am. I'm exhausted. The last few days have me just barely actually feeling human again. I'm fucking terrified. But I...of course I trust you?
[That had never changed. Unless the other meant that Izuku was scared of something happening to the blonde. Which isn't to say that he doesn't believe in the other's abilities. More that he is well aware of what they were going up against. He looks up at the other, initially confused why Bakugo would think he didn't trust him. But he eventually looks as if it is more a glare, more of frustration and upset at the situation in general, than directed more at the blonde. His arms remain at his side, his knees up from his fall, his hands shifting instinctively to Bakugo's arms.]
But I don't see what saying that helps or changes anything. You're...I've already worried you so much.
