Well, yeah...but then half the test ends up being problems I have to skip. I get kinda worked up at the end knowin' I still have so much left to do that I couldn't figure out anyway...
[He brushes his fingers through his hair again, staring at the paper on the table like it personally offended him somehow.
He sits there for a moment after saying that, turning his head to look over at Bakugou with it still tilted back against the back of the couch.]
Thanks for helping me anyway, though. I really didn't mean to keep you up so late.
[ Bakugou doesn’t stray far from his lazy, almost cocky way of sprawling out on the couch. His hands fold behind his head as he leans back, just watching Kirishima glare daggers into his homework. When Kirishima looks over to him, he casually shrugs. ]
You ask any of these other losers, and you’re not even close to acing it. So someone had to.
Cmon, I can at least make it up to you somehow, right? I can buy you lunch one weekend or somethin'. Make that double if I actually end up passin' this thing.
[ Repayment? That’s not exactly what he was going for here. He could have, but... Hey, it’s Kirishima. Which apparently changes his opinions or temptations. ]
Yeah?
Sure. It’d be dumb of me to turn down a free meal.
... Even if it’s not why I did it. But yeah. Why not?
We'll make a day of it then! Consider it, like...a celebration for "not miserably flunking out of the hero course over math because math is dumb anyways".
[He laughs, looking back over at his homework which is still...not done...it's fine he can take a few minute break.]
[Kirishima can feel his cheeks burn when Bakugou calls him out, cmon he thought you'd be with him on this...
But despite his exasperated grumbling, he picks up Bakugou's pencil and returns to his homework. Another problem he has is that he's easily distracted, too, which you think he'd be working on ever since he had to deal with extra studies during the training camp.
He's quiet for the most part as he works, occasionally mumbling something as he counts his way through a particular problem. The equations come fairly easy- and he does them first for that reason- before tackling the word problem.
A bit more scribbling, then...he pushes the paper back to Bakugou as he'd done to him a moment ago.]
There. Check it. Everything's right this time, it's gotta be.
[ Katsuki certainly isn't the type to allow anyone, especially himself, to half-ass anything. His friends included. And this certainly isn't the first time that Kirishima has come to him for tutoring. A task he is fine with taking on, and intends to do so perfectly.
So, he waits. Even leans over with a perked brow while he watches Kirishima get back to work.
It takes a moment, which is no surprise, and so he is patient. Once it's handed over, Katsuki slides it his way and looks it over. ]
Hm.
[ He looks contemplative, judgy as usual. And then gives Kirishima a good bump to the shoulder with his fist. ]
Not as dumb as you make yourself out to be. You got it right.
[Kirishima seems a bit on edge as he waits for Bakugou's verdict, as if hearing that he got every question wrong was going to mark the beginning of the end of his academic career as he knew it. But the moment he punches his shoulder and announces that he got them right...Kirishima flops back against the couch with a loud sigh of relief.]
Haah! You bet your ass I'm not!
[Even though...he's been working on homework for hours and it's 10 now...]
Glad that's finally done...you think I'll be okay for the test, now?

Math isn’t dumb, you walking Swiffer! If it didn’t mean shit for hero work, we wouldn’t be taking it.
[ Bakugou Katsuki is the worst bad boy ever. He cares about math and doing well in school. With a fresh scowl, he points to it. ]
We’re not done here. Three more equations and only one is a word problem. Figure it out.

If you aren't, I'll kick your ass for wasting my time and for failing. We've been doing this for a week now.

[He wouldn't even protest being held back a year, he feels like he'd deserve it at that rate.]
At least it's just math I'm really bad at. I can sortof fake my way through the rest of it if I gotta.
