[Mike is going to be here and help Katsuki through this. He wants to help his son get his feet under him, emotionally and mentally. To help him learn to survive and hopefully thrive in this new state he finds himself. He knows this won't be easy and words are only going to get him so far. They'll get through this, one way or another.

The question does give him pause but he smiles after a couple of seconds.]

Huh? Oh. So in my world there is a candy called Kitkats. They're my favorite. But your name is Katsuki. But also it sounds like Always Winning in Japanese, doesn't it?

[boombam]

[You know. Sometimes the smallest, weirdest things can cheer somebody up. And for Katsuki, it's this dumb little nickname Mike came up for him. It's absolutely true that it sounds like "Always Winning" (Kitto Katsu), and the fact that it's a candy's name at the same time just happened to be a coincidence.

But you know what else is a coincidence that he's finding more amusement in?]

...we have Kitkats where I'm from too. The chocolate ones? With all the weird flavours?

[Their Earth is very similar to normal Earth just. Weird as hell. And in some future timeline that will never be explained by the creator--

Either way. The fact that the two have the same candies despite being universes apart gets a tiny smile from the young vampire.]

It's one of my favourites because of the name. I always thought they were good luck as a kid.

[So it's really funny to him that Mike's nickname was based on that, and not because it was like "Kitty Kat" like he originally thought. That would've been so much more embarrassing...]

[livesoutofspite]

[Hearing that Katsuki has them in his world too. Their worlds having something similar, something that binds them, connects them. Which means they can compare and contrast between them now. Which could be both fun and interesting for them both.]

Those are the ones! Let me guess. You like the Wasabi ones, right?

[That has to be one of his favorites. It being all spicy.]

Heh. It's such a good name for a candy. And for you. The stars aligned with it when I picked it, clearly.

[boombam]

I do.

[Of course he'd like the spicy ones the most... his friends find him weird as hell for it, but that's just how Katsuki is.]

And I guess I don't mind the name that much now that I know what it's based on. I thought you were calling me a Kitty-Cat this whole time and it was starting to piss me off.

[That's a lie, Katsuki actually enjoys nicknames even when they're stupid or supposed to be insulting towards him. He usually lets anyone call him anything-- except for Villains, of course. They HAVE to call him Dynamight. Or else.]

What country are you from? America? They've got some weird flavours over there too, don't they?

[livesoutofspite]

Called it.

[At least Dad here is learning the flavors his son likes and is remembering. He's good like that.]

I'm glad you don't mind it that much. Like, I get why it could seem like that. And you are kinda cat like sometimes but cats are basically little furry dragons so yeah.

[A shrug. He is pretty sure if Katsuki had an actual issue with the nickname, he would have said something much earlier. His son was not the type of person to withhold his thoughts and opinions on something.]

I was born in America, yeah. We got usual sweet flavors. Lemon crisps is the weirdest flavor I've seen for American tastes. But I've been all over the world. Favorite city is New York. Tokyo is my third favorite. In case you were wondering about Japan.

Candy from around the world is all very different. I think that's the interesting thing. What people count as a dessert or sweet really varies.

[boombam]

[It's.. really cool to learn that Mike has been all over the world. And that his world was actually more similar to Katsuki's than Katsuki had imagined. The rules in each worlds are different-- one run by Heroes, biological super powers, and a tightly run society while the other runs on magic, titles, and fairytale-esque creatures--- but the core of it was the same.

It was still Earth. With the same countries and cities.]

...when the Sun comes back, we should see what kind of candy this place has. I don't think I've ever paid close attention to whatever I chuck in with my groceries.

[Even a boy who doesn't like sweets will enjoy a candy now and then! He can't hide from his childish side--]

Also Tokyo should be higher on your list. It should be number one! I bet it's way cooler than New York and you're just being biased!

[Or maybe Katsuki is being biased?? He's the one who's never been to New York!!]

[livesoutofspite]

I'd love to go candy hunting with you. We'll go out when the sun is down or in Nightwake since the sun doesn't shine there. It'll be great.

[He wraps his arm around Bakugo's shoulders and hugs him gently.]

Is that so? I mean, I do have a biased reason for loving New York most. So I can't disagree there.

[boombam]

[Katsuki will lean into that hug. Because he.. really needs it right now. He was feeling hungrier by the second so he knew their next victim had to be soon.]

Well... I dunno about your Tokyo. But my Tokyo is super high tech and cool. And there's Heroes all over the busses and trains and stuff. And on food packaging. And in ads and on TV and in movies.

[He's rambling just a little because he's nervous, and it's a rare habit of his in this kind of state. Plus talking about Heroes is making him feel a little bit better.. so there's that at least.]

It's crazy to me that there's worlds out there without any Heroes. It makes no sense.
