As friends, you often have to be honest, even when your friend doesn't wanna hear it.

It always made Izuku nervous when Bakugou calls him out to walk with him. Not cause he was worried he get beat up or if he get into some form of trouble (Though in both those cases it wasn't always the case) Its just Bakugou was so hard to read at times that it makes it difficult to tell from him being calm or him being mad. It was one of the many things he learn to understand when it came to his hot headed friend.

They had been walking for the last 2 minutes with Izuku right next to him, he ever so often took a glance at his friend. Izuku figured he was in deep thought although his face made it out like he was upset about something. That was the thing he was worried about. When Bakugou calls him out to talk, it most of the time is a very serious subject. The last time he called him out to talk was when he told Izuku about his dad getting into some accident, sure Bakugou didn't looked it, but Izuku could tell his friend was worried and maybe even a little scared for his dad. Luckily his dad managed to make a full recovery. Or the time he called him out to let him know he was planning on breaking the nose of the so called "Top Dog" at another school who been one of many to get on the bad side of Bakugou. Sure Izuku was against the idea and that in itself led to a fight between the two untill they decided that if the person in question decides to bother Bakugou that it was fair game. Needless to say the guy's nose got broken one way or another. The point was, when it was just them talking alone, 9 times out of 10 it had something to do with Bakugou in some shape or form. Some might think it was unlike him to be open on things such as his thoughts, but when it came to the two of them, it wasn't weird at all. It just so happen Bakugou is willing to be more talktive and open to his green hair companion then most.

The more they walked the more Izuku was becoming more and more nervous about what this was about, was his family okay, was Bakugou okay, maybe he wanna end their friendship or maybe he found out bout that last poptart Izuku ate by mistake and wants some pay back for it! Sure he might not beat him up bad but he was sure something would come of it. So many thoughts went into his head that he was about to speak till Bakugou cut him off.

"I heard something on the roof top today involving frog girl." Bakugou said calmly. Izuku looked at him for a moment and then raise a brow. "Asui ?" He was sure if she heard him call her by that name, she would scold him for it. Bakugou nodded his head, his hands was in his pockets as he kept walking forward, looking up ahead with an intense glare. "Some assholes was up there talking about how one of them was gonna ask her out, so that they could get under her skirt and then break it off with her soon after. Its that fucker who transfer a few months ago." Izuku gave a slight upset look. He knew who he was talking about. Lu Kazami. He got transfer to UA about 3 months ago and from the moment he got there, it was clear that Bakugou didn't like the guy at all, it wasn't like his normal attitude he had but it was how the guy acted towards women at that school that kinda ticked off his companion. They had a couple Classmates that tends to be the pervs at school but they were good people at heart, even if the shorter one of the two would get the snot beat out of him by their female classmates. At first Izuku himself only looked at it as him being a huge flirt but soon it turned from him simply flirting to down right trying to do things with some girls. Touching, attempted kisses and even try to go for girls that were already taken. Luckily he was not in their class. Though it was Kazami who was the lucky one, the class Bakugou and himself was in was rather close with each other and there for protective of their own. Doesn't matter if you were a boy or girl, if you bothered or harm anyone in Class 1A, you face that whole class. Needless to say Kazami would think twice before messing with any of their female friends within that group.

"Thats sounds like him..although i doubt Asui would go for a guy like that anyway so i wouldn't worry too much bout that." Izuku assured his friend. Bakugou looked to the side at him and gave him a narrowed look before turning his face forward again. "Yeah..maybe." Izuku looked over at his friend and sighed some. He knew where this was going, his friend however was not going to be happy about it though. "You could always ask her out..to get him to back off that is." It wasn't a joke, he was dead serious and thats why Bakugou stopped in his tracks and looked at Izuku with a glare. "We been through this already shit head, so drop it" Izuku stopped as well and looked at him with a upset/worried look. It was no huge secret (To Izuku anyway) that his friend happen to like the girl in question. He would catch the glances he gives her or the fact he is often a little more gentle in talking with her (even if he still was a foul mouth). It was clear he cared about her but he was too damn stubborn to follow through with it. "Kacchan, its been a year now and you know like i do that you like her, so why not just tell her. More so now that you know what Kazami might try to do ?"

Bakugou sucked his teeth and looked to the side. "You said so yourself nerd, she can take care of herself, she doesn't need me to help her deal with that bastard." He began walking once more but didn't get far when Izuku called out to him. "But that doesn't explain why You can't ask her!" Izuku stared at the back of his friend, he was feeling less worried and being more upset. He knows Bakugou is a man of few words but he understood that even he could have feelings like this for someone and yet here he is, not doing a thing about the matter. But honestly he had no idea why but he was getting rather riled up from this. The blonde hair boy kept his back to the green hair one before speaking once again. "She deserves better then me Deku.." Izuku eyes widen at this, he never expected he answer but most of all he wasn't expecting That to be his answer ether. "I use to bully you when you first got to this school..and i didn't gave a damn about it at the time. I haven't changed since then, frog girl is nice, always trying to help when she can and down right different from me. You know me..i try to break everything in my way, if it pisses me off enough, i won't think twice before throwing my fist. You really think she go for a guy like me. ? She be better off dating someone like you, since you always feel you need to help everyone all the damn time."

Izuku just stared at his friend and bold his hands to a fist. He lower his head so his hair shadowed his eyes. He was mad and it was more towards his friend self doubt then anything. If there was one thing Izuku hated was when the guy he admired most begins questioning himself, he knew him better then that, more so then anyone else. So hearing him say that Tsuyu deserved better then him, rubbed him the wrong way. They been friends for a couple of years, he was bullied by him for a few months starting that first year but for the most part they grew to become good friends. But hearing Bakugou speak like this triggered a memory of a conversation very very similar to this one they had over a couple of months ago in fact.

Izuku took a deep breath before he began to speak again. "Do you remember what you told me two months back..when i had trouble telling Ochaco how i felt" He stared back at his friend who still wasn't facing him. Even if Bakugou didn't remembered, he for sure did.

~FlashBack~

Izuku and Bakugou was walking through the park as the green hair boy was trying to muster the words he been dreading to say for a while since they began their walk. "Hey shit head, what is it you wanted to talk to me about ?" Izuku chuckled some, leave it to Kacchan to be so directed in getting answers, he thought to himself. He took a deep breath before speaking. "I um.. i really like Ochaco.." He stopped walking as he was sure his friend did the same behind him. "You called me out to tell me you like round face ?" Bakugou asked with a slight irrated but confused tone. Izuku shook his head and sighed some as he looked down at the ground. "Not exactly..its just, i liked her for a long while, i was just kinda scared in asking her out really. I mean shes beautiful, smart and over all a great and amazing person. For the most part i haven't done alot when i started in UA that would make me out as someone worthy of her honestly..i been bullied and made fun of for a while when i started here." He looked ahead and before closing his eyes to continue. "I want her to be happy and i don't think that she would want to deal with a guy like me..so i guess i wanted to ask..how can i forge-"

Before Izuku had a chance to say anything else a swift knee to the back stopped him short, making him tumble over."Arggh, Kacchan! What was that for!?" He looked at his friend who was giving him a very scary death glare. Bakugou grabbed his friend by the hair and brought his face to his. "I'm gonna say this once shit head, so you better damn well listen!" Izuku, slightly scared of the glare his friend was giving simply nodded his head. "If you honestly think you aren't worthy of that round face friend of yours then you are more stupid then i give you credit for. If you remember right, you took on those assholes who attacked me a while back and then would had again if i haven't jumpped in to get my revenge. You do just as well as four eyes or rich girl on tests and you are just as much willing to throw yourself in danger to help someone then any idiot i know." He gripped his friend's hair before pushing him back and diving his hands in his pockets. "So don't give me that bullshit like you don't deserve her, cause if i hear that shit from you again i'll kill ya ass!" Izuku just stared in amazement (Even if he was still a little shooked) at his friend. "Am i clear Deku!?" Izuku nodded his head fast before watching Bakugou walk past him, still clearly mad. But before Izuku could get even a single word out. " And if she rejects you then she for sure doesn't deserve you. Even though you are stupid enough to call the guy who bullied you, a friend" Bakugou said in a softer tone before walking on ahead again. Izuku stared at his friend for a moment longer before a smile form on his face and even a slight tear in his eye. Bakugou may not look it but he has his own way of helping others. He wipe the tear away before hurrying behind his friend.

~Present~

Izuku smiled some at the memory, he remembered going up to Ochao the next day and expressed his feelings to her and soon after they started dating. And none of it would had happen if not for Bakugou, the one and only guy he knew that wouldn't sugar coat anything but be direct and honest. And now he needed to be the same for his friend, even if he might get an earful or maybe a black eye in the process.

"I remember that day clearly..and i remember you telling me that there was nothing wrong with who i am now. You are no different Kacchan!" He gripped his fists tightly as he pushed on. "You have always been amazing in my eyes and a awesome person, you never back down or ever give up when something is in your way! You even manage to take down people twice your size without ever once being scared!" He stared at Bakugou's back, seeing the boy didn't so much as flitch but he kept on. "Even you can be nice to everyone in your own way, that day when i was fighting that group, you didn't owe me anything or needed to..but you jumped down there to help me when it had nothing to do with you..You even have me, someone who was scared and timid like me as your friend.." Somewhere deep down this became more deep then ether of them wold be willing to admit. "Someone who as cool and as amazing as you, shouldn't just give up his feelings that easily! Thats not the Kacchan i know. Even if she doesn't accept your feelings then its her lost, cause you really are a great guy even if you are a hot headed person..But..but..." He gulp soundly at the next words he wanted to say "Theres no backing out now" He thought to himself. "But if i hear you doubt yourself anymore, then i'll beat you to a pulp Kacchan!" To further state that fact he raised his fist to his friend. There he said it and for better or worst, he got out what he felt he needed to say.

Bakugou hadn't made a move or said anything at all as Izuku went on his rant, this would had made Izuku worried but he refused to back down what he did or the words he said to him. But slowly he saw his friend turn around towards him and what he saw surprised him. He didn't see a glare, or an angry look but he saw a rather soft expression on his face, it was unreadable but he didn't sense any sort of angry towards him.

They stared at each other for a good few seconds before Bakugou slowly walked up to Izuku. Somewhere in Izuku mind he thought about turning tail and running but he willed himself to stay and kept his fist up to him, he was dead set on standing his ground. Once Bakugou was in arm reach of him he stopped and stared at him further. It was as if he was reading into him.

The blond then lifts his hand and placed it on Izuku's shoulder. It slightly startled Izuku some as Bakugou gripped his shoulder. "If you decided to pick a fight with me, you already know i'm gonna kick your ass back.." He look at his friend and gave a small smirk in the process. "And we both know that be a fight that'll drag on Deku." He spoke the truth, he may be a scared nerd but when it came to fighting, he could hold his own.

Izuku couldn't help but to return the smirk with one himself. It was very recent but they did once get into a fight and needless to say it took 6 of their classmates to fully break it up. It wasn't like they were fighting out of anger but more of Rough play" as Bakugou explained, though the both of them were smiling with bruises on their faces was a bit alarming if anything. Izuku didn't look it but him and Bakugou did share a desire to win, even if its against a friend.

Bakugou sigh some before letting go of Izuku's shoulder and running his hand through his hair. "I must had caught something from you, if i'm even having these sorta feelings for a weirdo like her." He muttered soundly. Izuku chuckled some and shrugs his shoulders. "Class 1A aren't exactly normal thou Kacchan." Bakugou chuckled as well shaking his head in agreement. "Guess i have to talk to that frog girl tomorrow." Izuku smiled at his decision before he felt an arm drape around his shoulder and dragged him along. "Cmon, nerd we got that damn boss to defeat in that game. We are killing Doom's ass today!" Even being dragged forcefully along, Izuku nodded his head some in agreement. "Yeah!"

~The Next Day~

Class was just ending and it was rolling into lunch break. Izuku was chatting with his fellow classmates till he saw from the corner of his eye Kazimi entering the class room and walking up to Tsuyu desk but just before he even reached her, Bakugou was standing in front of her desk with his hands in his pockets with his always scary looking glare. Tsuyu looked up from her book and tilted her head giving him a confused look. Before she could ask him anything Bakugou cut her off. "Hey, this weekend you and me are going to that stupid movie you was talking about seeing, i'll buy the tickets and snacks okay ?" This caught Tsuyu by surprise, she was not expecting Bakugou to invite her to the movies (Though it sounded more of a demand then anything). She place a finger on her chin, still giving him a questioning look. "Are you asking me out Bakugou ?" His eye slightly twitch at the question. "Call it whatever you want, just be sure you are ready when i get you!" He loudly said, seemingly getting mad at this convo already. He saw Tsuyu gave a smile before replying. "Is Six good for you ?" Backgou nodded his head, not really caring when he go pick her up. She nodded her head as well and giggled at how weird this was really. "I'll be sure to look my best then this weekend" Bakugou eye twitched again at the comment, he didn't know why but it irked him. So without warning, he lean down to her desk and looked her in the eye and spoke as clear and as smooth as one could be. "You're pretty how you are, you damn idiot" He sat up right and walked off and gave a look to Kazimi who was watching it all unfold, Bakugou got close to him and place his hand on his shoulder and gave a really evil calm smile. "Don't go talking to My girl, kay ?" He whispered to the teen. The shooken teen simply nodded his head as Bakugou went on his way out of class. Izuku who was watching the whole thing along with his class mates, couldn't help but laugh at the exchange. He then looked over at Tsuyu and couldn't help but noticed the pink on her cheeks, maybe from whatever Bakugou had said no doubt. Well, it wasn't exactly a romantic way of asking one out, but then again it wouldn't be Bakugou if it was.
