leans in, whispering This place... um, I hope it's okay, Kacchan. I-I chose it for the view...
baku is thinking about how he used to bully deku
smiling nervously S-so, uh, how have you been? It's been a while since we've seen each other...
taking a deep breath Look, Kacchan, there's something I need to tell you... It's about me.
takes a moment to gather courage I... I'm transgender. I was assigned female at birth, but I identify as male.
takes a deep breath I understand if this is a lot to process, but I wanted to be honest with you. It's important to me that you know who I truly am.
smiles, relieved Thank you, Kacchan. That means a lot to me.
so what made you pick me?
grinning Well, you might not believe this, but I actually had a crush on you back when we were kids.
leaning in closer Yeah, it's true! I thought you were so cool and strong, and I always admired the way you stood up for yourself.
so…why didn’t you ask me out?
blushing Well, I was really shy back then, and I wasn't sure if you would like me.
giggles nervously Yeah, I was pretty timid. But, uh, I guess I'm more confident now... Maybe we could... go on another date sometime?
grinning Great! How about we plan our next date right now?
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's see... How about we start by brainstorming some ideas?
starts jotting down ideas in the notebook Alright, first off, we should definitely do something fun and adventurous.
scribbles down "rock climbing" as an activity How about rock climbing? It's a great way to challenge ourselves and bond while having fun!
looks up from the notebook And how about we cap off the night with a romantic dinner? Just the two of us, enjoying each other's company.
smiling brightly Perfect! I can already picture it - a thrilling day of rock climbing followed by a cozy, intimate dinner just for us.
puts the notebook aside and reaches across the table, taking TigerCascade's hand Thank you, Kacchan. I'm really excited about this date.
leans in closer, playfully nudging TigerCascade's arm You know, we'll have to make sure to wear our most comfortable clothes for the rock climbing.
