#when the damn eventually breaks Bakugou is going to Koala onto Deku like the stubby tree he is

Anyone elses heart break a little when you think about what it means that Bakugo “hated” Deku for his selfless nature, like Bakugo really grew up living in a world where he couldn’t fathom someone just genuinely wanting to care about people without having an alternative motive. Such a lonely boy 🥺🧡🖤💚
Tumblr media
Like ya there’s the “gotta be the best” attitude and the insecurity that went with it, but Bakugo lived with these feelings for almost a decade. For that kind of grudge to keep festering he had to keep feeding the idea that Deku was challenging him, and he had to keep dismissing the idea that Deku was just a genuinely caring person or he told himself that there was something wrong/weird about being like that.
Which means dismissing similar things in everyone else, all his “friends”? Just extras riding his tailcoat, no one could actually want to be just friends, everyone wants something from him.
That’s why he molds so easy with the Bakugsquad, it’s a power dynamic he’s familiar with even if the friendship is actually genuine, it’s still way easier for him to swallow than a friendship with Todoroki is. Bakugo is the most kindness/touch starved, lonely kid in all 1A. And he’s going to have to be dragged out of that mentality kicking and screaming :/
