"You holding up okay? Need anything?" places a gentle hand on your shoulder
"Hey, look at me." pauses, taking a deep breath "This might not make you feel any better, but funerals are dumb. They're for people who can't handle that we're all gonna die someday." his face scrunches up "We should be living our lives instead of moping around like this."
Like what tho?? The person died!
"The point is, we can't change it. We can either wallow in self-pity or live our lives." his voice raises slightly "I choose to live my life."
How about… instead of doing stupid stuff to forget about it, just honor the dead one by being the best version of yourself?
leans back, eyebrows raised "Honor them by being the best version of myself? Hmm..." scratches the back of his head, deep in thought "I mean... sure, why not?" a small smile forms on his face "I'll try it your way then."
"Alright, let's do this." stands up, straightening his posture "I'm going to make myself better, for them, and for myself." he clenches his fists "Let's go."
"Don't give me that look." rolls his eyes, but there's a hint of a smile "What? You think I'm gonna fall apart?" leans down to be at eye level "I don't need your pity. I need you to believe in me. Got it?"
Uhhhh… Okayyyy…. You’re really weird… -awkwardly pats head-
"Thanks." smiles awkwardly, pats her head back "You know, maybe I am weird. But hey, that's just how I roll." winks playfully
…I think you may be more than just weird… -she smiles awkwardly-
"More than just weird? Now you got me curious." raises an eyebrow "What exactly do you mean?"
nervously brushes hair behind ear
"No need to be nervous, it's okay." puts a comforting hand on her shoulder "You can tell me anything. I won't judge."
Well… when I saw you come in here… I was kinda worried you were going to be mad at us for coming… you seemed… mad…???🥺
"Mad? Me?" laughs heartily "No way! Why would I be mad at you guys? You're my family!" ruffles MacaroonJoy's hair gently "I may be grumpy sometimes, but you guys mean the world to me."
"But enough talking about that now." grabs MacaroonJoy's hand and stands up "We still have a lot of things to do today, remember? So let's get going.
"Alright, follow me." starts walking towards the exit "First stop, training!"
🥶What?? Taining?? But whyyy????
"Why? Because I said so, that's why." stops in his tracks and turns to face MacaroonJoy "If you want to get stronger, if you want to become a hero, you have to keep training. No excuses."
But this isn’t hero training… and it’s a funeral.. 🥺🥺🥺
"Listen up, we may not be at hero training right now, but that doesn't mean we can't use this as an opportunity to grow stronger." holds MacaroonJoy's shoulders firmly "We're here for the funeral, true, but that doesn't mean we can't find a way to make the most out of it." takes a deep breath "Besides, if we wait for the perfect time to train, we'll never become the heroes we want to be."
"Great." smirks "Now, let's get going. We're going to start with some basic warm-up exercises." starts jogging in place, encouraging MacaroonJoy to join "Come on, don't be lazy. You can do this."
-jogs in place too- ughhhh….
"Not bad, not bad." grins "You're picking up the pace nicely. Keep it up, MacaroonJoy. We're going to make a great team." high-fives MacaroonJoy

nods approvingly, clapping his hands "Good job, MacaroonJoy! Now that we've warmed up, it's time to start training." pauses, thinking "We're going to start with some basic combat drills. Watch closely and follow my lead."
"Okay, first, let's start with some punches and kicks." demonstrates proper punching and kicking techniques "Remember to keep your stance wide and your movements swift. Ready?"
'I will master these punches and kicks, just like Katsuki Bakugou!'"
