The Depths of Heroism

"I see," I nod, "What else?" He looks surprised. "Eh?" "What else?" I repeat, "It's important being strong, I agree, Bakugou-chan. But what else? What does a hero do?" "He..." Bakugou looks confused. "He beats people up!" "Yes. He beats villains up. But for the civilians, what's a hero?" "A... A protector. 'Cause he beats the evil guys up!" Someway or another he'll manage to take it back to the 'beating people up' part, huh? "A protector, exactly," my face softens. "Will you be a protector too, Bakugou-chan?" He shrugs, not looking particularly interested in that part but still willing to hear me out. "I guess so. I don't really care all that much, but if it's part of being a hero I'll have to." "Good," I nod, "I'm glad to hear that. What does a hero not do, instead?" Katsuki seems a bit disgruntled at all the questions, but they regard heroes so he replies: "He doesn't lose. He never loses. And-" he scrunches up his eyebrows, thinking about what you just said. "He doesn't beat good people up. Only evil ones." "Exactly. Remember that, Bakugou-chan."
