Heart Game: Duality - Round 3

Your sleep is restless, and it's hard to settle as your eyelids refusing to stop twitching, and you can feel an itch at the back of your mind, flashes of uncomfortable thoughts dipping in and out of your dreams, constantly interrupting your tries to relax. ... Are you even asleep?

...

Apparently you were, because you wake up with a start, cheek pressed uncomfortably to steel flooring and flickering lights overhead. Unfortunately, you don't feel very rested at all.

... I don't... have good control over it. And it's his power, not mine. I swore never to use it.

[ Oh. He knows this one ]

You better fucking use it against me.

... you already told me that in my memories.

Yeah. And I haven't change my mind. Who gives a shit if it's the same power he had? You're the one using it.

...

[Midoriya said that too. Both of you saying it has to mean something. He just... nods, after a moment.]

If you really wanna show him, then get better than he is at using it. Get an absolute victory over him so he can't ignore it.

He's the number two hero.

That only means he's not even strong enough to get first.

[He drops his hand from the door after it's finished thawing, expression going darker.]

I know. That's why he wanted "the perfect heir" to fulfill the dream he couldn't attain.

Like that make any sense. It's stupid. You're you and he's him, so if you beat his ass and become the number one hero, that's you doing that. Not him.

Not like it matters. You ain't gonna get there. I will.

[...he narrows his eyes at Hardcore.]

Is that a challenge?

[This is how to fire up his self confidence thank you.]

If you got the balls to accept it. Whether it's you or someone else doesn't matter to me. I'm going to be the one who'll stand at the top.

... it's not that easy.

So? More of a challenge. Makes it worth my time.

I'll be fighting for it too.

What, with just half of your power? You're not gonna be strong enough like that.

...I've already... been told.

Are you going through the door or not?

—Shut it! I didn't forget!

[ he was just trying to be cool but fine. Time to kick the door open]

[Unless you drag him along, Spiky Duality won't follow you inside. At least it's considerably warmer?]

[ He's totally trying to drag him along, grabbing onto his non spiked side again, with his other hand, even if he knows it'll get him hurt ]

[STOP HURTING YOURSELF. He'll allow him to drag him along, then, but it's a painful tug.]

Bakugou— I can't go inside.

[ IT HURTS, but this time he stubbornly keeps on holding it, not wanting to let go yet ]

I don't want you to stay alone.

[Oh.

He... oh. That statement alone is a little overwhelming and it's more than this Duality can protest. He stops resisting the tug, but he stares at Bakugou's hand and refuses to look up.]

You— [Exhale.] Thank you.

Don't fucking thank me. Just be a good boy and come along, dumbass.

[ he lets his hand go now, the pain definitely well worth it, but keeps CLOSE ]

Coming with me?

Go ahead.

[He physically can't follow, but... the door won't close behind you as you enter the new room.]
