[most of his nicknames are related to someone's physical appearance, ability, or personality trait that's fairly obvious. if someone knows the person he's talking about and thinks about it a little, bakugou's childish names are easy to figure out. he's simply not nice enough to use people's real names even if he's talking to a complete stranger. at least until they bitch about it and call him out, forcing his hand half the time. much to the guy's annoyance. these damn extras can be such wusses. at least his boyfriend's not a wuss. a sap and a half, but not a wuss. over there mimicking his posture as he looks through plants, obviously not having the time of his life, yet still accepting the outing for katsuki's sake. it means a lot to him.
when denji begins to ask questions, he answers with far less of his usual brusque manner. explaining why bushes and similar plants can be regrown from cuttings, bakugou shows denji where to locate the nodule on the branch and how to use the scissors and knife to make a cut that won't kill the plant's limb. of course, there's a difference in other plants that lack the bush-like hardiness which need samples of the roots or the entire root collection itself. these he shows denji how to dig them up gently and transplant them into the bags, letting the other boy get his hands dirty with the actual extraction. "somehow" a purple flower ended up being the half-devil's ear...]
It shouldn't. They can repurpose containers they already made. [lilith obviously works with high-tech devices and chemical sciences that would utilize metal canisters. sparing some for one of their outsiders shouldn't be difficult, especially since it's to make the mercenary more effective. denji's come up with a good idea to refresh himself in the middle of battle without having to resort to dining on the kaiju or his allies. katsuki's pretty damn sure they've got no chance coming out of any kaiju fight looking fresh and clean, but his partner could prove him wrong...] That'd be a lot of pills for how much blood you can drink.
[denji doesn't guzzle it outside of rampages and a messy need to regenerate a shit-ton of damage, but even spilling a leaking handful into his mouth would be more than ten large pills, and that's being low end estimate. besides, he'd have to carry the pills anyways, returning to the bag vs pillbox vs metal canister decision. but it's an idea to consider and katsuki files it away in his mind for later investigation.
oy, what the hell is that look for? he's been with you for a while, ripcord pec. he knows fresh is best when it comes to blood. never once has he seen denji scrape dried blood off a wall or person and crunch away on it. that's just dry, saying nothing of old blood long ago. blood is proof of life. why would life-giving blood not require it to be full of said life? a pill could work, since blood can be frozen, refrigerated, and otherwise stored for later use without it "spoiling" fast. that's why there are blood banks and storage for it in hospitals. as for his comfort with the topic... 1) blood itself isn't gross. 2) denji's chainsaw man powers are as "quirk" as any quirk in katsuki's world, meaning his nerd side finds it eternally interesting to explore. and 3) he knows of three people in his own world who use blood for their own quirks; one of them is even a hero, the homeroom teacher of class 1-B himself: Sekijiro Kan, aka the Blood Hero: Vlad King.]
Keep trying. I won't stop even when you are. [he'll always hold denji in positive regards, regardless of how gory his life and power get. that doesn't mean he won't try to clean him up and avoid the gore when he can, but that's because he's a neat freak who likes things a certain way. cue those occasional face twists with a "gross" coming from his lips. denji should know by now it's nothing personal; his boyfriend's a jerk. a smart one, since he notices the half-devil's ear is getting redder. is that a blush or is his skin reacting to the flower's oils?]
Oy. [katsuki indicates denji's ear via pointing at his own.] Your ear's getting red.
[calling out his boyfriend's blush or allergic reaction, that's up to the other boy to decide.]
