[ Yuji knows, of course, that heroes in general are a pretty intense topic for someone like Bakugo, but he didn't think he'd get this intense about it - it's just something he's never thought about himself for so long. Being a Hero is ingrained into Bakugo like being a sorcerer and fighting curses is to Yuji, and the comparison settles in his mind before he's nodding his head. Yuji doesn't see himself as being particularly heroic even now, despite how cool he's been in the past, because it simply doesn't register in his mind like that.
It's hard, when all his brain can focus on is the bad things that he's done.
The reaction is still intense, though, and it makes Yuji a little curious. There are people that care about him a lot here - people like Megumi, and Kugisaki, and Raidou, and Choso - so he recognises the concern for him as something like that. To him, it reads as Bakugo caring about a friend that deeply, which warms his heart - because he feels the same way. His fondness for the boy beside him is impossible to hide, and he nods his head as he ruffles his hair again, just because he can. ]
I know you do. I appreciate it.
[ He even came up with his own name, just for Bakugo. ]

It's a nice thought to have.
