How many shrimps do you have to eat, before you make your skin turn pink?
[Bakugo's finally gotten his provisional license, but there were still things he-- and Deku both needed to learn. Save to win, win by saving people. That motto was something that the two of them had on their mind ever since, the seed All Might planted being nurtured and growing as the two went through more experiences and learned more about one another but All Might had an idea to help it grow more. Deku was of course doing great in strides of thinking about saving people before anything else-- but he was still too soft at times and needed to learn more about controlling his power better and being able to let loose without holding back. Bakugo was good at controlling his power and not holding back, but he still needed to learn to be softer around the edges and care more about the people around him. Of course it's easy to tell these two these things or teach them in more conventional ways.. but All Might wanted to teach them through experience. With something a little more hands-on.
So he called the both over to the lounge one afternoon to meet one of his hero friends, who held a hand out to both of them at the same time for a shake. They both took it, thinking nothig of it and as soon as they did something strange happened... they blacked out for a few seconds, and woke up on the opposite end of the couch.
Next to themself.
They had been switched to each other's bodies.
Of course Bakugo screamed, something along the lines of "YOU TRICKED ME?! YOU PIECE OF SHIT RETIRED HERO?!" but it was met with a stern look and All Might explained that it was special training to help the two better understand each other. They were told it also counted for extra credit but if they let it slip that their bodies were switched, they'd fail. So now.. the two of them are sitting in Deku's dorm in dead silence, as they both try to figure out how the fuck they're supposed to do this.
It's only for a week, but it's going to be the longest week of their entire life.]

1/2
[There's a few seconds where the room is completely silent after he says that. Bakugo doesn't understand it fully- how could he? Even having it explained to him it's impossible to understand without being in Deku's shoes.
But it does help, a little, being able to borrow that power for himself.]
...you're already plenty strong.
[Bakugo mumbles that, as he pulls himself up to his feet again finally. He doesn't say any more than that or elaborate on anything else, instead moving to stand in a fighting stance again. He closes his eyes, taking a deep breath as he goes into Full Cowling again. This time he's determined-- determined to get stronger. Determined to prove to All Might that he's worth looking at the same way as Deku. He's going to be the number one hero, after all.
Even if he has to face a Deku at 100% later, he'll get stronger so he can face him head on and win. Even if he has to fight at 200%.]
Now... come on, Deku...
