Kacchan: like every other fucking thing you own [10:17am]

Kacchan: i cant believe she kept the pictures [10:17am]

Kacchan: i thought for sure she would have ripped them up or burned them after everything that happened [10:17am]

Kacchan: did you ever tell her? how shitty i was to you? [10:26am]

Kacchan: probably didnt, you little asshole [10:26am]

Kacchan: you probably knew she’d murder me if you did [10:27am]

Kacchan: it pisses me off when you do shit like this [10:27am]

Kacchan: always protecting people that don’t want it [10:28am]

Kacchan: or dont deserve it [10:28am]

Kacchan: my fuckin hero [10:36am]

Kacchan: and then he started tearing up [3:47pm]

Kacchan: i’ve never seen him cry before [3:47pm]

Kacchan: but i guess it tracks that its my fault for it happening [3:47pm]

Kacchan: guess some things never change, huh? [3:48pm]

Kacchan: i apologized to him, you know [11:57pm]

Kacchan: that’s a thing i do now [11:58pm]

Kacchan: i won’t do it anywhere else [11:58pm]

Kacchan: he forgave me, too [11:58pm]

Kacchan: whats with all these assholes in my life forgiving me too easily? [11:59pm]

Kacchan: if it were me, i wouldn’t forgive me [12:00am]

Kacchan: even though i told them i didn’t want that shit [8:49pm]

Kacchan: it was fucking stupid and i told them so [8:49pm]

Kacchan: but i guess it gave them something to focus on [8:50pm]

Kacchan: it’s not easy to have fun when your friend is missing [8:50pm]

Kacchan: which is how i’m assuming they feel [8:50pm]

Kacchan: whatever. it was more for them than me and that’s fine. [8:51pm]

Kacchan: Like you hadn’t slept or eaten in days [10:46am]

Kacchan: Like you hadn’t listened to me at all [10:46am]

Kacchan: I don’t know what else I expected [10:46am]

Kacchan: God you’re so fucking infuriating [4:57pm]

Kacchan: You’re taking a fucking nap while I haven’t slept for more than an hour in goddamn days [4:58pm]

Kacchan: It’s just like you to win against the scariest motherfucker on the planet and then collapse like you need a fucking fainting couch [4:58pm]

Kacchan: Should I go purchase some smelling salts? draw the blinds? I don’t wanna offend your delicate fucking sensibilities [4:59pm]

Kacchan: You flimsy little duck [4:59pm]

Kacchan: Fuck* [5:00pm]

Kacchan: Shut up don’t say a word [5:00pm]

Kacchan: You’re missing out [7:35pm]

Kacchan: They’re serving pudding and it fucking slaps [7:35pm]

Kacchan: Honestly it’s a win for me because I get two pudding cups while you’re napping away [7:35pm]

Kacchan: Hurry up and open your eyes so I can steal your pudding properly [7:36pm]

Kacchan: Come on we’ll make a game of it [7:36pm]

Kacchan: Winner takes all [7:37pm]

Kacchan: Sounds kinda fun right? I know, i’m a genius [7:37pm]

Kacchan: Wake the fuck up [11:16pm]

Kacchan: Just because I apologized doesn’t mean I won’t beat your ass [11:16pm]

Kacchan: You’ve worried Auntie enough [11:16pm]

Kacchan: It’s like I can’t even be mad about you right now and that just makes me even more fucking pissed [11:54pm]

Kacchan: They’re worried about you, you know [2:27pm]

Kacchan: We’re all waiting for you to wake up [2:27pm]

Kacchan: I guess they wanna hug you and shit [2:29pm]

Kacchan: Fucking embarrassing [2:29pm]

Kacchan: I wonder if you can hear me in there [7:58pm]

Kacchan: While you're sleeping or whatever [7:58pm]

Kacchan: I haven't really talked to you much [7:59pm]

Kacchan: Every time I try it just feels weird [7:59pm]

Kacchan: I’m not the one who's meant to be running my mouth [8:05pm]

Kacchan: And you're not exactly in the position to correct me or argue with any of the stupid shit I might say [8:05pm]

Kacchan: Never thought I'd admit it but I miss your voice [8:05pm]

Kacchan: I'd even take that scratchy nasal ass thing you had going on when we first found you [8:06pm]

Kacchan: Anything at this point [8:06pm]

Kacchan: You’re not meant to be silent like this [8:16pm]

Kacchan: Promise me when you wake up, you'll never be quiet again [8:16pm]

Kacchan: Even if I tell you to shut up. I don't fucking mean it okay? [8:17pm]

Kacchan: It just occurred to me that I'm kind of talking to you I guess? [9:53pm]

Kacchan: Because I’m using voice to text like a fucking 60 year old [9:53pm]

Kacchan: Can you hear me at all or is your brain just playing elevator music to drown me out [9:53pm]

Kacchan: Not supposed to strain my hands for a while and it's bullshit [9:54pm]

Kacchan: I feel like a goddamn mummy [9:54pm]

Kacchan: Guess I overexerted myself too. I didn't realize it at the time [9:54pm]

Kacchan: Is that how you always get yourself hurt? [9:56pm]

Kacchan: Your stupid tendencies are rubbing off on me [9:56pm]

Kacchan: I still win though [9:59pm]

Kacchan: Because I'm not the one in a FUCKING coma [9:59pm]

Kacchan: Wake up and prove me wrong, shithead [9:59pm]

Kacchan: Stupid assholes won't let me stay tonight [10:36pm]

Kacchan: They even offered to let me go home [10:36pm]

Kacchan: Fuck that I'm not taking my goddamn eyes off you [10:36pm]

Kacchan: It’s ducking bullshit and they won't listen [11:06pm]

Kacchan: FUCKING bullshit*

Kacchan: As far as I'm concerned they can't treat me like I'm a fucking kid anymore [11:06pm]

Kacchan: We won [11:07pm]

Kacchan: It shouldn't be so easy to get in your room [1:38am]

Kacchan: Not gonna text too much because I don't want them to hear me [1:38am]

Kacchan: The overnight nurse didn't say anything but the morning nurse did [8:11am]

Kacchan: The bitch [8:11am]

Kacchan: They won't let me stay the night anymore or stay after closing. They said if they catch me again I won't be allowed in at all [8:11am]

Kacchan: Fuck that [8:11am]

Kacchan: I'll admit myself into the goddamn hospital again if I have to [8:11am]

Kacchan: Done and done [9:23am]

Kacchan: at least until you wake up [5:53pm]

Kacchan: then you get one free pass to say whatever [5:53pm]

Kacchan: they’re kicking me out again [10:15pm]

Kacchan: but i’ll just be down the hall [10:15pm]

Kacchan: so dont fuckin panic if you wake up and dont see me immediately [10:15pm]

Kacchan: i remember that happened a couple of times when we had sleepovers as kids [10:15pm]

Kacchan: so i’m just covering my bases [10:15pm]

Kacchan: didn’t you have some ratty ass all might plushie or something [10:32pm]

Kacchan: and it helped with the nightmares? [10:32pm]

May 21st, 20XX

Kacchan: your mom is in here pretty much all the time except when she's working [9:13am]

Kacchan: she's the one that needs the goddamn rest so you better wake up soon and stop worrying her alright? [9:13am]

Kacchan: don't worry though I'm keeping an eye on her [9:13am]

Kacchan: dad's been bringing her lunches and stuff so she doesn't have to worry about it [9:16am]

Kacchan: and she pretty much has a full time bodyguard at all times. if any of the heroes are busy, one of our classmates is with her [9:16am]

Kacchan: so you better hurry up if you don’t want your embarrassing fucking baby pictures shown to every single person you know [9:16am]

Kacchan: and we both know there’s a LOT of embarrassing ones [9:16am]

Kacchan: so wake up or suffer the consequences asshole, your choice [9:16am]

Kacchan: anyways she's safe and healthy and shit [9:19am]

Kacchan: but i know she would really love it if you woke up [9:20am]

Kacchan: she misses you [9:20am]

Kacchan: everybody does [11:46am]

Kacchan: she brought your nerdy little all might toy, by the way [12:23pm]

Kacchan: you’re fucking welcome [12:24pm]

Kacchan: some of the class came to visit you earlier [4:46pm]

Kacchan: classes aren’t back on yet, so most of them are splitting their time at the dorms with their families and helping around UA. there’s still so much to reconstruct on campus. I think cementoss has his hands full with all the shit i blew up when we got attacked [4:47pm]

Kacchan: but it seems like things are mostly fine [4:47pm]

Kacchan: it’s weird. none of it feels finished [4:48pm]

Kacchan: the fights i mean. The war and the villains and all that [4:48pm]

Kacchan: but people are just going back to normal and picking things back up [4:48pm]

Kacchan: i don’t get it [4:49pm]

Kacchan: because things aren’t normal [4:49pm]

Kacchan: not until you wake up [4:49pm]

Kacchan: also while we’re on the subject why the fuck are your friends like that [6:16pm]

Kacchan: they’re so goddamn sincere it’s like you infected them with your niceness [6:16pm]

Kacchan: even fucking half and half brought flowers [6:16pm]

Kacchan: but his stupid bouquet or whatever had goddamn DAISIES in it [6:17pm]

Kacchan: i swear he brought them on purpose so i’d have to fucking pick them out and throw them away [6:17pm]

Kacchan: you never told them you’re fucking allergic huh? [6:17pm]

Kacchan: you’re so goddamn useless sometimes [6:18pm]

Kacchan: i didn’t mean that. you’re not. [6:26pm]

Kacchan: i'm sorry. [6:26pm]

Kacchan: just. take better care of yourself from now on [6:26pm]

Kacchan: tell your friends shit like that. [6:26pm]

Kacchan: it’s important. you’re important to them [6:27pm]

Kacchan: in case you haven’t gotten that through your thick skull yet. [6:27pm]

Kacchan: you really never told anyone about middle school? [9:35pm]

Kacchan: about how much of a shit i was to you? [9:35pm]

Kacchan: guess that tracks. you’re always trying to fucking help me even if i don’t want it [9:35pm]

Kacchan: even if i don’t deserve it [9:37pm]

Kacchan: it’s stuff like this that scares me [9:37pm]

Kacchan: you have no self-preservation but you’ll go out on a limb for your shittiest excuse of a friend [9:37pm]

Kacchan: do i even get to call myself that? [9:38pm]

Kacchan: guess that’s your call [9:39pm]

Kacchan: just tell me when you wake up i guess [9:39pm]

May 22nd, 20XX

Kacchan: you know, even when you’re gone, you still say so much [2:26am]

Kacchan: the silence really fucking sucks, you know [2:27am]

Kacchan: i’m not expecting you to forgive me [2:33am]

Kacchan: that’s not why i said what i said anyways [2:33am]

Kacchan: it’s just something that needed to happen [2:33am]

Kacchan: it was a long time coming [2:33am]

Kacchan: and i know i waited too long [2:34am]

Kacchan: and that you were too goddamn exhausted to even respond to it, which was sort of a dick move [2:35am]

Kacchan: but you left and i still hadn’t said it [2:35am]

Kacchan: and i couldn’t let another second go by without clearing that shit up [2:35am]

Kacchan: i couldn’t let you go another second thinking i was still that stupid fucking middle schooler [2:35am]

Kacchan: or i thought of you as anything less than a hero [2:36am]

Kacchan: i know better now. [2:36am]

Kacchan: so wake up and let me fucking remind you who the fuck you are [2:36am]

Kacchan: please [2:36am]

Kacchan: i still got things to say to you, you know [10:33pm]

Kacchan: i’ll wait for you to wake up [10:33pm]

Kacchan: and i’ll wait for you to tell me [10:33pm]

Kacchan: and i’m going to do everything in my power to deserve to stand next to you, izuku [10:34pm]

Kacchan: i fucking swear on my life [10:34pm]

Kacchan: i’m gonna be right here [10:34pm]

Kacchan: don’t assume shit [7:46pm]

Kacchan: what do you need? [8:05pm]

Deku: oh nothing!! i just got a new phone. i guess it is the same number, but i don't have any of my old contacts? something isn't syncing correctly I guess? [8:09pm]

Deku: oh wow, i started texting you before my phone was fully synced haha, i lost a lot of my data! All of my apps are buzzing like crazy now! [8:15pm]

Kacchan: do i look like i give a shit, go to bed asshole [8:16pm]

Kacchan: it was a stupid joke [8:20pm]

Kacchan: i don't wanna hear it [8:20pm]

Kacchan: youre back now and that's what matters [8:21pm]

Kacchan: besides i got most of my shit out over text already so it's fine. just go to sleep deku you need it [8:22pm]

Kacchan: you read the fucking texts [8:26pm]

Deku: which texts? [8:27pm]

Kacchan: the fuck, deku [8:28pm]

Kacchan: izuku* [8:28pm]

Deku: i already told you that you don't have to call me Izuku all the time. [8:29pm]

Deku: it'd be like me calling you anything other than kacchan!! [8:30pm]

Kacchan: shut up asshole focus [8:30pm]

Kacchan: the texts i sent you? it said you read them [8:31pm]

Deku: oh. [8:32pm]

Deku: i’m sorry!!! [8:32pm]

Deku: mom fixed my phone while I was, you know [8:33pm]

Deku: she turned my phone on silent, and then on airplane mode after a day or so because i got so many texts. I think it turned on fine but the screen was too damaged to salvage so she just got a new one? i’m really sorry!!! [8:35pm]

Kacchan: whatever go read them now if you want or whatever i dont give a shit [8:35pm]

Deku: i don’t see any texts, kacchan 😟 [8:36pm]

Deku: on my end, it looks like we’re starting from scratch [8:37pm]

Deku: but i could borrow your phone if you want me to read them? [8:38pm]

Kacchan: FUCK NO [8:38pm]

Deku: why not???? you sent them to me in the first place!! [8:40pm]

Deku: kacchan?? [9:35pm]

May 25th, 20XX

Kacchan: do you really want to read them that badly [7:15am]

Deku: i mean, not if you’re not comfortable with it! but i can’t lie and say i’m not really curious🤔 [7:37am]

Kacchan: they’re stupid [7:39am]

Deku: i doubt that. [7:39am]

Kacchan: fuck, i just always thought you read them and then turned it off, like blocked me or whatever [7:40am]

Deku: i would never do that, kacchan. you’re too important to me for that!! [7:41am]

Kacchan: yeah well you still didn’t answer [7:41am]

Deku: will it feel better to have me read them or would you prefer i leave it be? [7:42am]

Kacchan: i don’t know. can i think about it [7:46am]

Deku: of course [7:48am]

Deku: have you thought about it? [10:15am]

Kacchan: it’s been two hours [10:15am]

Deku: okay and? [10:16am]

Deku: kacchaaaaaan i wanna know what you said! [10:18am]

Deku: you sent it to me anyways so why can’t i read it now? [10:19am]

Kacchan: cause its fucking embarrassing, okay? [10:20am]

Kacchan: i make a goddamn fool of myself and i just figured you were too polite to say anything [10:22am]

Kacchan: i guess we really didn’t have time for that when we got you back. it was sort of touch and go for a bit [10:23am]

Kacchan: why did you take so long to get a new goddamn phone? [10:25am]

Deku: i don’t know, i just… didn’t need it? [10:26am]

Deku: everybody that i would’ve wanted to text was already in front of me [10:26am]

Deku: i was surrounded by my family and friends! [10:27am]

Kacchan: that’s a bullshit answer and you know it [10:28am]

Deku: but it’s true!!! [10:29am]

Kacchan: well it sounds fake [10:29am]

Deku: ugh we had so much going on, i didn’t want to just say ‘oh sorry i know we’re in the midst of reconstructing society from the ground up and trying to take down possibly the most ruthless, dangerous villains of all time, but my phone broke and i really want to check twitter’, now could i? [10:31am]

Kacchan: whats got you so fuckin sassy? [10:32am]

Deku: ugh i don’t know!! i just feel like, since we’ve been back, since we’ve defeated AFO and Shigaraki, things have been kind of weird [10:35am]

Kacchan: weird how? [10:35am]

Deku: i don’t know [10:37am]

Kacchan: describe it [10:37am]

Deku: it’s seriously nothing, don’t worry. I was just kind of rambling haha 😅 [10:40am]

Kacchan: nerd. stop it and just tell me [10:40am]

Kacchan: you can tell me [10:41am]

Deku: oop sorry kacchan gotta go!! the doctor just came in [10:41am]

Kacchan: deku [10:42am]

Kacchan: izuku, come on [11:05am]

Kacchan: you ever gonna explain what you meant earlier? [3:45pm]

Deku: nothing to explain! [3:50pm]

Kacchan: fine [3:50pm]

Kacchan: you sure? [7:15pm]

Deku: i just don’t want to bother you with it, kacchan, it’s seriously nothing important [7:15pm]

Kacchan: it doesn’t have to be [7:16pm]

Kacchan: you can just text it [7:16pm]

Kacchan: i wont tell anyone or talk shit about what you say [7:18pm]

Kacchan: it’s better to get things out then to let them fester [7:21pm]

Kacchan: in my experience [7:22pm]

Deku: fine. i can try [7:22pm] 

Deku: it’s just kind of, i feel weird? after everything that’s happened, after defeating AFO and everything that came with it, i feel sort of numb? or just… adrift? [7:23pm]

Deku: i don’t really know what to do now [7:24pm]

Deku: things just feel… weird. [7:24pm]

Deku: like my purpose has been fulfilled. i don’t really know where to go from here [7:25pm]

Deku: i mean i do, but… it doesn’t feel like it? i keep waking up expecting to be back out there. i don’t really feel comfortable in a bed yet, it just feels wrong to be sleeping there. if i’m able to sleep, i wake up in a panic because i think somehow i’ve fallen asleep when i wasn’t supposed to, and that people are counting on me and i’m letting them down. [7:27pm]

Deku: but it’s all over, right? everything’s fine so i should be fine. [7:28pm]

Deku: its like my body isn’t convinced that it’s over, though. i have to stay awake or not sleep too long in case this happens again. [7:29pm]

Deku: which, logically i know it wont!! so i don’t know why the rest of me hasn’t gotten the memo [7:30pm]

Kacchan: izuku [7:31pm]

Kacchan: you’ve been having trouble sleeping? [7:31pm]

Deku: i mean only a little bit!!! nothing like while i was out there, i pretty much didn’t sleep at all for a while there! i mean, i got some thirty minute increments when i was lucky, but that was only for the last stretch of things [7:33pm]

Kacchan: i'm gonna repeat myself and you’re gonna give me a non-bullshit answer [7:34pm]

Kacchan: you’ve been having trouble sleeping? [7:34pm]

Deku: yeah [7:42pm]

Kacchan: me too. tell me next time [7:42pm]

Deku: really? [7:43pm]

Kacchan: yeah. if you get bored trying to fall asleep or just need to talk or whatever [7:43pm] 

Kacchan: just text me [7:43pm]

Deku: wait kacchan why are you having trouble sleeping? [7:44pm]

Kacchan: like you said [7:44pm]

Kacchan: the rest of me isn’t convinced it’s over [7:45pm]

Kacchan: just text me or whatever [7:45pm]

Kacchan: when you can’t sleep [7:46pm]

Deku: thank you, kacchan 😊 [7:46pm]

May 26th, 20XX

Deku: kacchan? [2:14am]

Kacchan: yes [2:14am]

Deku: are you awake? [2:15am]

Deku: oh sorry! I sent that but you replied first haha [2:15am]

Deku: of course you’re awake if you reply [2:16am]

Kacchan: what’s wrong [2:16am]

Deku: i just can’t sleep is all! you said i could text? but it’s pretty late, it’s okay if you’re rather go to sleep!! [2:17am]

Kacchan: shut up i was awake anyways [2:17am]

Kacchan: what’s up [2:18am]

Kacchan: why’s your brain not being quiet tonight [2:18am]

Deku: how did you know? [2:19am]

Kacchan: deku i’ve known you since we were four [2:19am]

Kacchan: izuku* [2:20am]

Deku: it’s really not a big deal you can call me deku [2:20am]

Deku: i’ve already told you like 3 times! [2:21am]

Kacchan: no [2:21am]

Kacchan: fuck you [2:22am]

Kacchan: anyways, it’s not a stretch to assume your brain is thinking too much for you to sleep [2:23am]

Deku: i guess you’re right 😅 [2:23am]

Deku: i don’t know if there’s anything to talk about in particular, though. can we just talk? [2:24am]

Deku: i could really use a distraction [2:24am]

Kacchan: sure whatever [2:25am]

Kacchan: let’s talk [2:25am]

Kacchan: what’s the best episode of the all might cartoon series and why [2:26am]

Deku: what? [2:26am]

Kacchan: c’mon i know you’ve got an opinion [2:27am]

Kacchan: i need to see if it’s the right one or not [2:27am]

Kacchan: because there IS a right answer [2:28am]

Deku: obviously the bridge one! [2:29am]

Kacchan: fucking wrong [2:29am]

Kacchan: i’m disappointed in you [2:30am]

Kacchan: we both know it’s the all smite takedown episode [2:30am]

Deku: kacchan no oh my god that one is so overrated!!! i mean it’s a great episode but come on! [2:31am]

Kacchan: the bridge one is basically just fucking flashbacks!! you don’t even get to see him smash anything! [2:31am]

Deku: yeah but you get to see how far he’s come!!! it’s a recap in a poignant way, and he’s put this incredible burden on his shoulders and even when he’s near to collapse, he still fights through it and saves everyone!! he wins, kacchan! [2:32am]

Kacchan: of fucking course that one’d be your favorite [2:32am]

Kacchan: i should’ve known [2:33am]

Deku: is that so wrong? [2:33am]

Kacchan: no [2:34am]

Kacchan: it just tracks for you, deku. it makes sense [2:34am]

Deku: oh. [2:34am]

Deku: well yours does too! [2:35am]

Deku: i didn’t think you’d still like that one… [2:35am]

Deku: it’s a little too on the nose, you know? [2:36am]

Kacchan: yeah [2:37am]

Kacchan: but with the takedown, he’s not saving some shitty kidnapped kid [2:38am]

Kacchan: it’s different [2:38am]

Deku: you’re not shitty, kacchan. [2:39am]

Kacchan: how do you know? maybe you just haven’t been around to see it [2:39am]

Kacchan: fuck [2:40am]

Kacchan: sorry [2:40am]

Deku: it’s okay [2:40am]

Deku: i guess i kinda deserve that one [2:41am]

Kacchan: no, you don’t. i meant it when i said i was sorry for all the shitty things i said. i don’t get to revert back to my assholeness just because you’re back and i apologized [2:43am]

Kacchan: so i’m sorry, okay? don’t make me say it a fourth fucking time [2:44am]

Kacchan: just take the apology and lets move on [2:44am]

Deku: okay kacchan 😊 thank you for apologizing! [2:45am]

Deku: but you really didn’t have to. i did leave. i had good reason and i can’t apologize for that, but i am sorry how it all went down [2:46am]

Kacchan: you are? [2:46am]

Deku: yeah. i never wanted to hurt you all or make you miss me [2:47am]

Kacchan: idiot [2:47am]

Kacchan: how could we not miss you [2:48am]

Deku: kacchan? [2:50am]

Kacchan: pick a new favorite episode [2:50am]

Deku: what why? [2:51am]

Kacchan: cause i said so [2:52am]

Deku: okay 😊 lemme think for a second! [2:53am]

Kacchan: i’m waiting [2:55am]

Kacchan: you fell asleep didn’t you? [2:58am]

Kacchan: idiot. sleep well [2:59am]

Kacchan: making a western breakfast today [9:02am]

Kacchan: because SOMEONE said he didn’t think i could [9:02am]

Deku: i didn’t say that!! I complimented you on your breakfast making skills and asked if you could make other types of breakfasts too! [9:14am]

Deku: not that you COULDN’T make them! [9:15am]

Kacchan: that’s practially a challenge what the fuck did you expect [9:15am]

Kacchan: you want regular bacon or turkey [9:16am]

Deku: kacchan you got two types? I hope you’re not spending too much money on it! [9:18am]

Kacchan: answer the question [9:18am]

Kacchan: also shut the fuck up [9:19am]

Deku: regular please! [9:19am]

Deku: i feel badly that you’re doing so much and i’m not helping at all though [9:20am]

Kacchan: you’re helping by actually sleeping and healing up so i can beat your ass in training some more [9:21am]

Kacchan: it’s seriously nothing and it keeps me from blowing shit up because i’m restless [9:24am]

Kacchan: therapist says that's a good thing or whatever [9:24am]

Deku: i’m so glad that’s working out kacchan [9:25am]

Deku: i wasn't sure if it would [9:25am]

Kacchan: i’m a fucking delight what are you talking about [9:26am]

Deku: just that i wasn’t sure if you’d like a stranger telling you what to do or why you feel certain ways you know? [9:27am]

Kacchan: honestly neither did i [9:27am]

Kacchan: but she’s chill or whatever [9:28am]

Kacchan: doesn’t try to sugar coat things and all that [9:28am]

Kacchan: and once ponytail said that i’d be “stunted” because i didn’t get a fucking mandated therapist like everyone else did after the battle then i goddamn had to, didnt i [9:29am]

Kacchan: can’t let any of those fucks pass us by [9:29am]

Deku: haha you’re right [9:32am]

Deku: do you feel like it helps? [9:32am]

Kacchan: sometimes [9:35am]

Kacchan: not always [9:36am]

Kacchan: there’s only so much ten sessions can fix and apparently my shrink’s got enough material to keep me in there for years [9:37am]

Kacchan: but whatever [9:38am]

Deku: i appreciate having someone to talk to but [9:39am]

Deku: it’s sort of hard? I don’t feel like they really get it [9:39am]

Deku: and i’m glad they don’t! my therapist, i mean [9:40am]

Deku: i wouldn’t wish what’s happened on anybody [9:40am]

Deku: but i don’t know if they’ll ever truly understand it all. sometimes it feels silly to try [9:41am]

Deku: i really don’t mean this in an conceited way but there’s nobody in the world that’s had the life i have [9:41am]

Deku: not really, not even all might [9:42am]

Deku: sure it was hard, and he struggled, but it’s just different. not better or worse, just different [9:42am]

Deku: going from a quirkless nobody to a hero in training to… this [9:43am]

Kacchan: sure [9:47am]

Kacchan: still good to get it out though [9:47am]

Kacchan: especially for that overthinking asshole you’ve got in your noggin [9:48am]

Kacchan: and if you ever get tired of talking to people that don’t get it [9:48am]

Kacchan: it’s not the same but i’m here aint i [9:49am]

Deku: thank you kacchan [9:54am]

Kacchan: don’t thank me [9:55am]

Kacchan: now come and open the door before i spill your breakfast all over the floor [9:55am]

Deku: what about your breakfast? [9:56am]

Kacchan: nah that’s in a bag it’ll be fine [9:57am]

Kacchan: now open up or i’m throwing it out the window [9:57am]

Deku: you know, even though you botched that delivery, it still ended up comforting somehow [8:17pm]

Kacchan: shut UP [8:18pm]

Kacchan: just say you wanna talk to me next time [8:18pm]

Deku: im so happy we're closer again and that we've got our future planned but i still don't know where the line is [5:38pm]

Deku: i know i get overexcited and take things too far [5:39pm]

Deku: i did that when we were kids and it was annoying [5:39pm]

Kacchan: there's no line asshole [5:40pm]

Kacchan: we've fought a war together, we nearly died next to each other. that shits in the past [5:40pm]

Kacchan: also if you don't say all the shit on your mind like that im gonna take it as an insult [5:41pm]

Kacchan: like you're saying i can't handle all your big nerd emotions [5:41pm]

Kacchan: so do us both a favor and keep saying that shit [5:42pm]

Deku: i'll do my best [5:44pm]

June 3rd, 20XX

Kacchan: tell your therapist that shit [8:51am]

Kacchan: about how you think youre annoying [8:51am]

Kacchan: they’ll help [8:52am]

Kacchan: you ARE annoying but not for the reasons you think [8:52am]

Kacchan: and it doesn’t make me want to not hang out with you [8:53am]

Kacchan: it makes me want to hang out with you more [8:53am]

Kacchan: UGH i’m done now i’m never saying that shit again [8:53am]

Kacchan: so take it to heart or whatever okay? [8:54am]

Deku: you really have a way with words kacchan😒[9:05am]

Deku: “you’re annoying but not for the reasons you think” i’m telling my therapist about you [9:06am]

Kacchan: you haven’t already? [9:07am]

Kacchan: i just mean [9:12am]

Kacchan: you usually start conversations with “so kacchan said-” [9:12am]

Kacchan: lol [9:13am]

Deku: oh my god!! i do not!!! [9:14am]

Deku: but jokes aside, i will [9:15am]

Deku: thank you for caring ❤️[9:15am]

Kacchan: duh [9:15am]

Kacchan: now go eat breakfast and do your stretches [9:16am]

Deku: so bossy!! [9:16am]

Kacchan: damn right [9:17am]

Deku: hey kacchan? [4:47pm]

Kacchan: yeah [4:49pm]

Deku: i didn’t bring it up for a while because it really seemed to upset you [4:49pm]

Deku: but can i please read those texts? [4:49pm]

Deku: it’s just that, i’ve told you about what happened when i was gone but i don’t know anything about what that month was like for you [4:50pm]

Deku: and i feel like i’m missing a piece of the puzzle. [4:50pm]

Deku: since i got back and woke up, i know things have been different, and that’s a good thing! [4:50pm]

Deku: a great thing even!! but i just… kinda want to know what i missed and what lead to that? [4:51pm]

Kacchan: you really wanna know that badly? [4:53pm]

Deku: yes please, kacchan [4:53pm]

Kacchan: fuck [4:55pm]

Kacchan: fine [4:55pm]

Kacchan: we’re almost done with training. [4:56pm]

Kacchan: guess you can come over after and read them [4:56pm]

Kacchan: but if you so much as LOOK at me wrong after that i’ll fucking kick your ass [4:56pm]

Deku: oh, that’s not necessary kacchan! [4:56pm]

Deku: i mean, i’d still love to come over! [4:57pm]

Deku: but i kinda….. asked Hatsume to help me restore the data in case you were okay with it? and then printed it out and put it in a folder that i PROMISE i didn’t touch? [4:57pm]

Kacchan: what the fuck nerd [4:58pm]

Deku: i SWEAR i didn’t look at it, and i was going to throw it away if you said no!! but i just feel like i missed so much. [4:58pm]

Deku: when i saw you again, and again when i woke up, you looked so, don't know, tired? and i just want to know why so i can apologize [4:59pm]

Deku: because i know at least some of it was to do with me. [4:59pm]

Kacchan: just read it i guess [5:01pm]

Kacchan: but you’re not allowed to get mad at me for anything i said [5:01pm]

Kacchan: because you really pissed me off, izuku. [5:02pm]

Deku: okay, kacchan. i promise [5:02pm]

Kacchan: i’m serious. [5:03pm]

Deku: and i am too. i'm taking this seriously, kacchan, i swear [5:03pm]

Kacchan: fine. go on then [5:04pm]

Deku: kacchan… [5:21pm]

Kacchan: if you’re gonna ask teach to change hero partners you better do it today [5:21pm]

Kacchan: because he’s supposed to be putting in that application for us soon [5:21pm]

Deku: wait why would i want to change partners???? [5:22pm]

Kacchan: because you read that shit [5:22pm]

Deku: and??? [5:22pm]

Deku: i’m really not sure what you’re saying [5:22pm]

Kacchan: because it was all stupid and weak and clingy shit [5:24pm]

Kacchan: and i’m fuckin embarrassed about it and it’s not even about me [5:24pm]

Kacchan: so if you’re gonna change partners hurry up and do it [5:25pm]

Deku: i’m not going to change partners [5:25pm]

Deku: and your texts wouldn’t make me want to, either. if anything, it makes me feel secure knowing that you’re looking out for me and worrying about my safety [5:26pm]

Kacchan: who’s worrying [5:27pm]

Deku: kacchan, please don’t shut me out, i want to talk about this. [5:27pm]

Deku: i’m coming over, okay? [5:28pm]

Kacchan: don’t bother [5:29pm]

Deku: i’m here [5:32pm]

Deku: kacchan open the door [5:32pm]

Deku: and can you please turn down the music? [5:33pm]

Deku: i could hear ricky montgomery from the elevator [5:33pm]

Kacchan: fuck off [5:34pm]

Deku: fine i’ll just sit here then [5:34pm]

Deku: and text you until you talk to me for real [5:35pm]

Deku: so you're gonna ignore me? [5:37pm]

Deku: was this what you were worried about? that i was going to read the texts and think less of you for them? [5:37pm]

Deku: we've been over this. i don't look down of you and i never have [5:38pm]

Deku: i'm not sorry for leaving, but i'm sorry for not telling you i was going. [5:39pm]

Deku: i was just worried that you would be hurt again because of me. when we were fighting shigaraki, i thought for a minute that he mightve killed you [5:39pm]

Deku: because you took that blow for me [5:39pm]

Deku: youve always been my hero. All Might was this untouchable, amazing being that could do no wrong but you were always right in front of me. you've always been the symbol for victory in my mind [5:40pm]

Deku: so it came as no surprise to me that you pushed me out of the way, but it terrified me that it was my fault that you were hurt. [5:40pm]

Deku: reading those texts made me realize how much it must have hurt you to be left behind. [5:41pm]

Deku: i promise i never meant to hurt you, kacchan, and i'll never forgive myself for it. but I was scared to lose you [5:41pm]

Kacchan: im not some weak bitch that's gonna keel over from a tiny fucking cut [5:42pm]

Deku: kacchan you were impaled! i thought for a moment that was it, and i'd never talk to you again! Never see you laugh again [5:42pm]

Deku: i could wait ten years for it but i couldn't last a lifetime without you by my side [5:43pm]

Kacchan: careful deku [5:45pm]

Kacchan: people will start to think you care [5:45pm]

Deku: i've ALWAYS cared!!!!! [5:46pm]

Deku: i've always cared so much. i love my friends but you're the one that convinced me to come back home. they helped, sure, but it was you that actually did it. [5:47pm]

Deku: don't you dare ever say that i don't [5:47pm]

Kacchan: does this mean you don’t consider me a friend? [5:48pm]

Deku: what? [5:48pm]

Kacchan: i mean i wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t [5:49pm]

Kacchan: i figured you probably wouldn’t [5:49pm]

Kacchan: but is this your answer? [5:50pm]

Deku: kacchan, no!! [5:50pm]

Deku: in your texts, you separated everyone else and you. i figured you wouldn’t want to be my friend because you didn’t include yourself in it. [5:51pm]

Kacchan: i said in those texts that it was your decision [5:51pm]

Deku: but do you WANT to be my friend? [5:52pm]

Deku: please. I know you don’t like talking about stuff like this but i need you to tell me this time [5:52pm]

Kacchan: it’s not my decision it’s yours [5:53pm]

Deku: and why is that? why does it have to be mine? why won’t you meet me halfway for this? [5:54pm]

Kacchan: because i don’t deserve it [5:56pm]

Kacchan: and i know it and i know you know it [5:57pm]

Kacchan: if you knew what’s good for you, you’d run screaming in the other direction because all i’ve ever done was hurt you [5:57pm]

Deku: kacchan, you saved me. [5:58pm]

Kacchan: how many times did you need saving from me? [5:58pm]

Deku: kacchan please let me in [6:00pm]

Kacchan: how the FUCK can you forgive something like how i’ve treated you [6:01pm]

Kacchan: just because i finally pieced together some fucking words that sound like an apology [6:02pm]

Kacchan: just because you read my fucking weak ass whining because i couldn’t stand that you were gone? [6:03pm]

Kacchan: are you happy? here’s your stupid honesty [6:04pm]

Kacchan: i don’t deserve to be your friend. im a shitty excuse for one to anybody that knows me and you should know that most of all [6:04pm]

Deku: you searched for me for a month. you didn’t give up on me and you helped our classmates track me down. [6:05pm]

Deku: when everything was hopeless, you gave me hope again [6:06pm]

Deku: mom told me that you were by my side almost every minute of the day while i was sleeping [6:06pm]

Deku: and i have the texts to prove it too [6:07pm]

Kacchan: izuku [6:08pm]

Deku: you wanna know what i think? [6:08pm]

Deku: i think those texts started as a way to talk to me, but then it became a way to get your feelings out [6:09pm]

Kacchan: i dont have any fucking feelings [6:11pm]

Deku: yes you do, kacchan. you can’t fool me. you feel so much, all the time, and that’s okay [6:12pm]

Kacchan: i don’t [6:12pm]

Deku: it’s okay, kacchan. it doesn’t make you weak [6:13pm]

Deku: caring for people can make us so much stronger [6:13pm]

Deku: when i saw how much our classmates cared for me, it made me strong enough to make it through some of the darkest thoughts ive ever had [6:13pm]

Kacchan: you’ve had darker [6:14pm]

Deku: maybe. but not while i was alone like that [6:16pm]

Kacchan: but you were alone. [6:16pm]

Kacchan: in middle school. [6:17pm]

Kacchan: all throughout our fucking childhood, you reached out to me and i knocked your hand away [6:17pm]

Deku: its different and you know it [6:17pm]

Deku: i have people that i care about and maybe it took me a little too long to understand, but i know they care about me too. [6:18pm]

Kacchan: how do you know [6:20pm]

Kacchan: when you care, i mean [6:20pm]

Deku: when they’re hurting, it feels like your heart might rip out of your chest and follow them [6:21pm]

Kacchan: what else [6:22pm]

Deku: when they’re happy, it feels like it might burst. you see them smile and even if you’re not a part of it, even if you’re never the reason they smile, you’re still glad they do [6:22pm]

Kacchan: what else [6:23pm]

Deku: you want them to succeed in anything they set their mind to [6:23pm]

Deku: and you know for a fact that they always will [6:23pm]

Kacchan: and when you miss them? [6:24pm]

Deku: kacchan… [6:24pm]

Kacchan: when you miss them its like youre scaling a mountain with no gear. [6:25pm]

Kacchan: and it’s fucking terrifying [6:25pm]

Kacchan: and you can feel the ground crumbling and shaking beneath you but you know that if you could just get to the top then maybe you’ll see them again [6:26pm]

Kacchan: but you don’t know if you’ll make it in time and that’s the scariest fucking thought [6:26pm]

Deku: kacchan… [6:26pm]

Kacchan: izuku [6:27pm]

Deku: you can call me deku. it’s my hero name after all. [6:27pm]

Kacchan: yeah. you made it that way cause youre a hero, not the other way around [6:28pm]

Deku: my friends call me deku [6:28pm]

Kacchan: am i your friend? [6:29pm]

Deku: yes, kacchan. I don’t think friend is a strong enough word for it, for all we’ve been through, but it’s a good start [6:29pm]

Kacchan: deku it is [6:30pm]

Deku: can i come in? [6:33pm]

Kacchan: okay [6:35pm]

Deku: this was after christmas, though, so i figured i would just get your present early and hide it, in case it snuck up on me! [12:28pm]

Kacchan: why did you get it for me though [12:32pm]

Deku: because i wanted to! and it’s the first year since we’ve mended some things and i really missed your birthdays [12:33pm]

Deku: i’m sorry i missed this one [12:34pm]

Kacchan: it doesn’t matter [12:34pm]

Deku: i promise you i won’t ever miss it again [12:35pm]

Kacchan: you can’t make that promise deku [12:35pm]

Kacchan: you don’t know where we’re going to be in the future [12:35pm]

Deku: i don’t want a future without kacchan by my side [12:36pm]

Kacchan: you’re sure about the hero partner thing then [12:36pm]

Deku: i meant what i said [12:37pm]

Kacchan: good [12:37pm]

Kacchan: about both things [12:38pm]

Deku: aww kacchan you mean it? [12:38pm]

Kacchan: i lost my fucking mind when you were gone. you can’t ever do that shit again, seriously [12:39pm]

Deku: i won’t, kacchan, it was an extenuating circumstance. i had to keep everyone safe [12:40pm]

Kacchan: i know you and i know your self-sacrificing fucking tendencies deku [12:40pm]

Kacchan: i know something will happen someday and you’ll think you have to go it alone [12:41pm]

Kacchan: so when that happens, tell me [12:41pm]

Kacchan: i’ll go with you [12:41pm]

Deku: kacchan… [12:42pm]

Kacchan: we’re not doing this alone ever again [12:43pm]

Kacchan: that’s what partners are for, right? [12:43pm]

Deku: well when you put it like that… 😊 [12:44pm]

Kacchan: in sickness and in health motherfucker [12:44pm]

Kacchan: lol [12:44pm]

Kacchan: deku it’s fine i just gotta take care of something first okay [1:18pm]

Deku: kacchan [1:18pm]

Kacchan: i won’t do it again [1:19pm]

Deku: what’s wrong? [1:21pm]

Kacchan: open your door [1:24pm]

Kacchan: i got something to say [1:24pm]

Kacchan: i wanted to say it in person [1:24pm]

Kacchan: okay so let me start over [1:36pm]

Deku: seriously? [1:37pm]

Kacchan: its too much okay [1:37pm]

Kacchan: i need to do it like this or i won't get any of that shit out at all [1:37pm]

Deku: so it's shit now? [1:37pm]

Kacchan: fuck [1:38pm]

Kacchan: no its not. but do you see what i mean? [1:38pm]

Kacchan: i got used to it like this just let me do it like this [1:38pm]

Kacchan: please izuku [1:38pm]

Deku: alright fine. i will ignore the fact that you're sitting three feet away from me [1:39pm]

Deku: so what's the deal? [1:39pm]

Deku: why did you suddenly stop texting? i thought i said something wrong [1:39pm]

Kacchan: you didn't [1:40pm]

Kacchan: i said something without thinking and a fucking panicked like a dumbass [1:40pm]

Deku: and what was it that you said that made you "panic like a fucking dumbass"? [1:40pm]

Kacchan: im not even going to tell you to watch your language because i'm taking this seriously okay [1:41pm]

Kacchan: fuck I've never done this before [1:42pm]

Deku: done what????? [1:42pm]

Deku: kacchan you have to give me something to work with because i have no idea what this conversation is about, and the first half of it was you stating facts and stringing curse words together [1:43pm]

Kacchan: yeah and? [1:43pm]

Deku: you brought flowers over and then immediately tried to incinerate them so forgive me if i’m getting mixed signals [1:43pm]

Deku: im trying not to be upset but i don't like not knowing what kind of conversation i'm in so i know how to act accordingly [1:44pm]

Kacchan: its a good conversation [1:44pm]

Kacchan: or at least i hope it is. that's kinda up to you [1:44pm]

Deku: okay?? [1:44pm]

Kacchan: izuku we've known each other since we were 4. [1:45pm]

Deku: another fact, yes [1:45pm]

Kacchan: just listen to me. please [1:45pm]

Deku: okay. sorry [1:45pm]

Kacchan: we were really close for a while, and then not so close when i was shitty to you. i didn't deserve to be your friend, even though you were trying so hard to change that [1:45pm]

Deku: this doesn't sound like a good conversation [1:46pm]

Kacchan: fuck okay i'll start somewhere else [1:46pm]

Kacchan: we want to be hero partners right? [1:48pm]

Deku: of course, kacchan. [1:48pm]

Kacchan: okay. [1:48pm]

Kacchan: okay good so [1:49pm]

Kacchan: we’re gonna be hero partners. and i get to be your friend again now [1:49pm]

Deku: right. are you trying to ask to hang out?? [1:49pm]

Deku: you don't have to bring this up every time we hang out as friends now, kacchan. you can just say 'want me to kick your ass at mario kart?' and i'll know [1:50pm]

Deku: i think i know you pretty well haha [1:50pm]

Kacchan: you do [1:50pm]

Kacchan: and i'm starting to know you better [1:50pm]

Kacchan: and i see all the things that made me want to be your friend in the first place [1:50pm]

Kacchan: like your brain and kindness and your natural heroism [1:51pm]

Kacchan: even though i didn't have words for it yet [1:51pm]

Kacchan: and the fact that you would willingly throw yourself in front of anyone who was in trouble scared the shit out of me [1:51pm]

Kacchan: it made me angry and scared and it confused me [1:52pm]

Kacchan: because heroes weren't supposed to feel scared and you and everyone else told me that i was going to be the best hero [1:52pm]

Kacchan: but there you were, so different than me, doing all the things a hero does so naturally [1:52pm]

Kacchan: and all my thoughts and feelings for you got mixed up in this fucking, like, salad bowl in my brain [1:52pm]

Kacchan: meanwhile everyone around us would put you down for those traits because they were all stupid assholes. so i followed by example [1:53pm]

Kacchan: because i knew some of the feelings i had were "bad" and i thought that was your fault [1:53pm]

Kacchan: but it was mine. and i lost sight of the good ones [1:53pm]

Kacchan: i shoved them so far the fuck down that i forgot why we became friends in the first place [1:53pm]

Kacchan: but then you saved me. and then you got into UA. and then you made actual real friends and i saw all those qualities in you that everything in the world tried to beat out of you, me included [1:54pm]

Kacchan: and it hit me like a fucking train [1:54pm]

Kacchan: but i'd already ruined my chances to be your friend a thousand times over [1:54pm]

Kacchan: but you didn't give up on me. for some reason you didn't give up on me and you still wanted me around [1:54pm]

Kacchan: i have no fucking clue why but you did. and then i got to know you a little better, again. how you grew up and how much stronger you've become [1:55pm]

Kacchan: how you bloomed from just a sliver of fucking kindness and i realized again that i was just poisoning you at the roots [1:55pm]

Kacchan: so i tried to stay out of your way. and then you fucking saved me AGAIN. and again and again in little ways and in big ones [1:55pm]

Kacchan: and you just couldn't stay away but then i started realizing i didn't want you to [1:56pm]

Kacchan: and that scared the shit out of me, too [1:57pm]

Deku: kacchan? [1:57pm]

Kacchan: so much about you scares me and that pisses me off. you make me feel so much more than anything or anybody else in my life does and it's exhausting [1:57pm]

Deku: exhausting? [1:58pm]

Kacchan: fuck, no i mean [1:58pm]

Kacchan: shit [1:58pm]

Kacchan: fine. SOME of them are exhausting because i don't know what the fuck to do with them. all of the emotions are really fucking strong and when i’m just used to feeling anger or determination to get shit done as my default, it really throws me for a fuckin loop. [1:59pm]

Deku: what are you saying? [2:00pm]

Kacchan: im saying i've never felt this much before and it sucks but in a good way [2:00pm]

Kacchan: i mean it doesn't suck [2:00pm]

Kacchan: fuck [2:01pm]

Kacchan: its just new and i feel like an idiot [2:01pm]

Kacchan: especially right now because i’m stumbling over my fucking words like a highschooler [2:02pm]

Deku: you are a highschooler, kacchan [2:02pm]

Kacchan: that's not the point [2:02pm]

Kacchan: the point is [2:02pm]

Kacchan: i dont know what the point is [2:03pm]

Kacchan: i guess i'm just trying to say that you're one of the most important people in my life [2:03pm]

Kacchan: and i can't stand the thought of you not being by my side and [2:04pm]

Kacchan: fuck, i mean [2:04pm]

Kacchan: you read the texts [2:04pm]

Kacchan: use that big brain of yours [2:05pm]

Deku: oh. [2:07pm]

Deku: OH [2:08pm]

Kacchan: finally [2:08pm]

Deku: you're saying you… feel things for me? in a good way? [2:09pm]

Kacchan: fuck, i guess [2:09pm]

Kacchan: i mean yeah [2:10pm]

Deku: like in what way? [2:10pm]

Kacchan: UGH come on you know what way! don't make me say it [2:11pm]

Deku: i kinda want you to say it [2:12pm]

Kacchan: stop fucking smiling like that i'll kill you [2:12pm]

Deku: so angry! man, you really had to work yourself up for this, huh? [2:12pm]

Kacchan: don't fucking mock me asshole [2:12pm]

Deku: im not!! it's just really cute i guess? [2:13pm]

Kacchan: FJQOSAFSJAJ FU CK YUO [2:13pm]

Deku: i like you too, kacchan. i kind of never imagined you'd like me back but [2:14pm]

Deku: i guess we've been moving that way for a while now huh? [2:14pm]

Deku: i mean it's not every day you cook somebody dinner and let them play as all might [2:14pm]

Deku: let alone sit by their bedside and talk them through their coma [2:14pm]

Kacchan: i thought we agreed not to mention it [2:15pm]

Deku: this is important! i didn't realize it until recently, when i read the texts but i kinda… heard you sometimes? [2:15pm]

Deku: not much, it wasn't something out of a book where your voice dragged me back [2:15pm]

Deku: just a sort of vague lull in the background of my dreams sometimes. i kinda thought i was making it up but then i read some of the messages you used voice to text for [2:16pm]

Deku: and they felt vaguely familiar [2:16pm]

Kacchan: oh [2:17pm]

Kacchan: why are you telling me this [2:17pm]

Deku: i guess because it means something to me? you've been by my side pretty much the whole time since i woke up, and even more before i was awake [2:17pm]

Deku: i just want you to know. i'm seeing the progress you've made [2:18pm]

Deku: im seeing the person you are, not just who you've been. but also who you want to become. [2:18pm]

Deku: and i like all of kacchan. every dramatic, abrasive, caring part of you. [2:19pm]

Deku: just so you know. [2:19pm]

Deku: even if you have weird taste in crushes haha! [2:20pm]

Kacchan: fuck you i have the best taste [2:20pm]

Kacchan: my crush is gonna be the number two hero someday [2:20pm]

Kacchan: so fuck your judgements [2:20pm]

Deku: not number one? [2:21pm]

Kacchan: you'll have to fight me for it [2:21pm]

Deku: for the rest of my life [2:21pm]

Deku: too much?? [2:22pm]

Kacchan: no shut up go away fuck off [2:22pm]

Deku: hahaha i didn't know you could get that red!!! [2:22pm]

Deku: but yeah. enough texting? you get everything out you wanted to say? [2:23pm]

Kacchan: i fucking guess [2:23pm]
