[Katsuki usually doesn't do video, because he much prefers being an asshole behind a wall of text but this was important. This was something that needed to be said-- and shown-- and text wouldn't work.

So the video opens up with the blonde sitting at a table, looking stern and already mad without even saying anything yet.]

I have just one thing to say, and I'm going to keep this short and sweet.

[He pulls out his phone (using a laptop to make this post in the first place) and he scrolls through his camera roll for a moment before showing it off. Letting everyone see a boy with green curls and freckles, who had his picture taken when he wasn't looking and was smiling so bright and happy.]

This? This is Deku. If you hurt him, or insult him, or make him cry I WILL track you down and break your legs.

Or even worse: I'll turn 'ya into a vampire! So you better watch your mouth around him and treat him with respect, goddamn it!

[And the feed ends there! It really was short and sweet--]

Do you really think anyone's gonna bully your friend? They better not.

[boombam]

He's surprisingly easy to bully, Aimoto-senpai.

[Izuku... is the nerdiest person he knows, probably.]

I mean just look at him. You see those damn freckles? They've gotten the poor nerd shoved into lockers before!

[...no he will not tell rinku that he and his friends were the ones shoving him in lockers--]

[roundandaround]

Eh?! Nobody did that last time! Or wait, I probably shouldn't talk about that. And you were there then too anyway -- wait I made it worse just now -- I mean! I hope no one's been mean here, that's messed up!

[boombam]

...I already know about the previous me and Deku. Todoroki told me about 'em.

[You don't have to worry so much???]

But good! They better not have the first time and they better not the second, either!

[madmewmew]

What if yer friend likes that, huh?

[boombam]

He only likes it if it's from me! 'Cuz he knows I don't mean it!

[...well actually Izuku probably doesn't mind a little teasing from other people either but. Katsuki's a dumbass so--]

[madmewmew]

Oooh so you two are like that, huh?!

[Like what, Mew Mew? LIKE WHAT? She doesn't even know, but Bakugo strikes her as the same type of person as her... Easily riled up, so she shall rile.]

Hm. You're the one who had their photo shown about a month or so ago, aren't you?

[... Like father like son..?]

[boombam]

[....you know. Katsuki didn't realize he had just done the same thing to Izuku that Mike did to him until just now but now it's all he's going to notice....

Goddamnit!!]

...maybe.

[He grumbles, looking so embarrassed to be called out--]

Before you say anything, Deku actually likes this kind of attention! I ain't being a hypocrite for telling everyone to be nice to him!!

[phoenixblessed]

Mmhm...

[Doubt.

The callout was probably necessary though.]

You didn't ask him if this was necessary before you said something, then...

[Hmm, pot and kettle comes to mind...]

Awww, Kitkat. That's so sweet of you. You're so protective of Midoriya-kun.

He's very sweet. Count me in to help protect him if needed, okay?

[boombam]

It's not sweet! I'm threatening to break people's legs?!

[Katsuki is IMMEDIATELY embarrassed, and puffed up in reply to Mike.]

I just wanna make sure the nerd doesn't get bullied, that's all! Some people are stupid and take their anger out on the guys who are sweet, and I'm taking the chance now to let people know that Deku ain't the one to fuck with!

[He's honestly speaking from experience. He used to be so awful to Izuku so he knows, personally, how easy of a target the smaller boy was for people like him...]

Also you better help me keep an eye out for him! You're my dad, and he's someone I've known since I was a dumb baby so you ESPECIALLY need to be nice to him!

[livesoutofspite]

I mean, even some threats of physical violence can be cute. Though that might just be me. Probably me.

Anyway. Yeah, I get that. People can do that sometimes. For a lot of reasons.

Hahahaha! You got it, son. I did recognize him from the cute pictures you gave me. Kinda hard to miss him in them.

[Just. A very confused Izuku watching this. Kacchan why....?]

Kacchan, nobody has hurt me or anything. I'm fine, so you don't have to.....? What do you mean you'll -- Kacchan, you can't go around like that?!

[Nothing had happened to provoke this or anything. So he is wondering what brought this on? Nobody had said or done anything bad to him. Well, aside from him ending up here in the first place? Izuku is fine.]

[boombam]

I'm trying to get ahead of anyone who gets the big idea that you're a good target for bullying!

[He's trying to be a good friend, Deku!!]

Also I can go around however the hell I want!

[procedere]

Kacchan, I'm fine, you really didn't have to -- no! You can't just go around threatening to turn people into vampires?!

[Kacchan plz. He's barely been here that long for anyone to have done anything to him yet. Izuku just raises his hands in some sort of attempt to calm the blonde. Even if part of him knows that probably won't happen given how worked up he seems to be.]

[heartshards]

So...It's okay to break someone's legs or turn them into a vampire if they hurt one of your friends?

[boombam]

[....does Katsuki say "yes" to this and enable a small child to be violent? Or should he be a good older brother and try to steer her off this path?]

I say it depends on how bad they hurt 'em. And also it's usually a thing that only adults are s'posed to do to get revenge.

[He can hear Mike telling him off now--]

But sometimes kids are allowed to break legs too if they're up against someone who really deserves it.

[heartshards]

Okay, I think I understand... [She'll make sure to call Katsuki if she thinks someone needs to be turned into a vampire.]

Does your friend have mag- er, Is your friend is a hero too?

( ... huh, she's seen that person in a different photograph on that app before. which reminds her: )

So you're one of his friends. Kacchan or Todoroki-San?

( that feeling when you don't know anything about Japanese honorifics and think they're just actual parts of names. )

You're remembering to remind him not to try and shoulder this world's problems, right?

( it's not that she didn't believe Deku saying that his friends here would help with that reminder. it's just that she knows that kind of heroic mindset, has watched what happens when it breaks down, and teenagers shouldn't need to break like that. no one should, but look. especially not the kids. at an ancient twenty, it's something she'd hate to see. )

[boombam]

Kacchan.

[Katsuki answers, and he places his arm on his hip with a grumpy expression. Of course Izuku has already went around blabbing about him and Shoto... what a nerd.]

My full name is Bakugo Katsuki. And I'm his keeper. So yeah, of course I am.

[He's offended he'd even be asked that!! He's the one who always drags Izuku back home after doing something stupid-- though of course this stranger wouldn't know that yet. So maybe he shouldn't be so mad but he can't help it!!]

That idiot loves to sacrifice his own health for the sake of others as much as he can get away with, and with us both being here? He ain't gettin' away with shit this time around.

[lyingheart]

( So the one is a nickname. Good to know. The anger is at least relatable: it's easy to be angry when you're frustrated, at people or situations or yourself. Who knows what feeds his, but it's valid. )

Bakugo Katsuki then. I'm Annie Leonhart.

( So it's less weird to have one name and not a full other name, given she didn't bother with her first name in her whatever this is. Profile. )

Good. No one should be grinding themselves down like that.

Are the two of you who've been here longer staying closer to the city or are you regulars out into the Segments?

( What brand of hero are they is the Question she's really asking, just to set her own mind at ease that these teens aren't on the same kind of self-destructive pathways that, well. Other people she knows have been. May be slightly less on now.

This remains wildly off topic to the idea of "don't bully Deku," but hey. )

[This one's beaming.]

I've never been glad to hear a threat before...

[boombam]

Why're you happy at the idea of getting your ass kicked? Weirdo.

[Katsuki knows it's because he's happy that their friend is here, but he's going to bully Shoto anyway because he can't help himself--]

If you're lookin' for a fight Todoroki, you just gotta ask.

[itsmypower]

Is that how you'll celebrate?

[Good luck goading, because light's perceptibly and visibly seeped through his skin. Reflecting off Katsuki...]

You're happy too.
