[Bakugo sits there silently for a few more seconds, unable to hide his expression as much as he'd look back on this and beat himself up over showing weakness so easily. The two were at a much better standing with each other, but they still aren't quite at a point where they can just... show their insecurities to each other without it all exploding at once, or talk out their feelings without it starting off as a fight.
Maybe that's why this training was happening? They were told to build each other up to become the greatest heroes... they should start taking it more seriously, sometime.
Sometime.... but not right now.]
You...
[Bakugo finally says something, and he takes a deep breath between his sentence to keep himself steady so he doesn't say something he regrets.]
...you've been holding back. When we fought each other, that wasn't all of your power was it?
[It's not an accusation, as if he's angry about the thought of Deku holding back against him. Rather it's more like astonishment, and maybe a little bit of jealousy. He put his all into that fight and almost lost with the power he was born with, the power he worked on his entire life. Deku had been given this power to stand in the ring, and become the next Symbol of Peace and Bakugo understands that now but... he can't help but feel envious. If he was given One for All instead of Deku....

....ironically, he'd probably refuse it.]
