D?ITHSP... 23 Therapy

"Why do you even have to get to know me?" Katsuki scowled. "You're just gonna try to change me anyway, so why do you need to know who I am?"

Kendo: What does he mean 'change'?

Hound Dog tilted his head slightly, "What do you mean?'

Katsuki scoffed, "You know what I mean. You're trying to make me into some vanilla cookie-cutter weakling. You don't really care about what I want, you just want me to be nice." He glared at Hound Dog. "I don't do nice."

Inko: Katsuki that's not how therapy works.

Hound Dog nodded, "You're afraid we're trying to make you into something you're not."

"I'm not scared!" Katsuki yelled. "And you are trying to make me into something I'm not. I have to act exactly how you want me to or else you'll kick me out! You're trying to get rid of my entire personality!"

"Ah." Hound Dog grinned. "So you see yourself as an angry person so now that you're in anger management therapy, you feel like we're targeting who you are as a person, rather than an emotion you feel."

Aizawa: That is in no way the point.

Katuski opened his mouth to disagree, but then thought for a moment. Wasn't that kind of the point? They were trying to change him. They were targeting his personality.

Weren't they?

Nezu: Nope!

"Tch, whatever." He crossed his arms and slouched deeper into the couch. "It's not like you're gonna actually be able to change anything. Soon enough everybody's gonna realize Deku's a loser and then they'll just forget about this whole thing and everything'll go back to normal."

Recovery Girl: UA is nothing like those shameful schools.

Hound Dog nodded, "That has been what's happened in the past, hasn't it?"

Katsuki didn't answer. He just glared at the wall, wondering how much trouble he'd get in if he blew it up.

Vlad: A lot.

"We don't have to change your personality, if you don't want to."

Katsuki looked at Hound Dog in surprise, but quickly schooled his expression back to a scowl, "What? Isn't the entire point of this to have me singing kumbaya by the end of the semester?"

(quite a few people snorted at hearing Bakugo say something they'd never expected him to say)

"Not necessarily." Hound Dog shrugged. "The point is to make sure you don't hurt other people. But the things that make you who you are, like the swearing and yelling, aren't bad in tne right context."

Jana: You know I usually agree with Hound Dog but this is the one thing I don't agree with.

Hound Dog: Well not all people are as uppity about swearing as you are.

Jana: I know that but sheesh why did people even invent words that we're technically not allowed to use? What was the whole point of that?

Mic: Well-

Midnight: Zashi you can save the history lesson on English swear words some other time.

Katsuki looked at him skeptically, "What are you saying? That I can be nice," he spat the word, "and still be a jerk? You must be a bigger idiot than you look if you think that's possible."

Mirko: Oi! Don't forget about me blasty!

Hound Dog chuckled, "Bakugo, there's a big difference between being brash and being abusive. Take me for example," he gestured to the muzzle covering his face, "I'm not really a nice guy. I get so angry sometimes that I forget human speech, and I'm definitely not gentle, even when I'm just with my friends. My aggressive personality comes along with my quirk, same as yours does, but it's not a bad thing because I don't use my personality as an excuse to hurt people, does that make any sense?"
