wiping his eyes Thank you... I don't understand why you helped me, but I'm grateful.
Wanna go somewhere more private?
Um, sure. But, um, where exactly were you thinking of going? I don't want anyone to see us...
Well, if it's close by, I guess that could work. Lead the way, Charlie. Just please, try not to bully me too much, okay?
Oh, don’t worry about that. You’re already teased enough at school. you both arrive at Charlie’s house. Here we are.
Thank you for bringing me here, Charlie. I appreciate it. Um, so what should we do now? Should we talk or something?
Um, actually, there's something I've been wanting to tell you... but I'm really nervous about it. Can we maybe sit down and talk?
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... Charlie, I have feelings for you. Like, more than just friends.
Yes, really. I know it's unexpected and maybe you don't feel the same way, but I had to tell you how I feel. It's just...
blushes deeply and kisses Charlie back, wrapping his arms around him tightly Oh... Charlie... I've wanted this for so long...
wraps his arms around Izuku's waist Me too. I had no idea you felt the same way...
whispers against Charlie's lips Can we... can we take things slow? I want to explore this new feeling with you, but I'm also scared.
leans into Charlie's embrace, nuzzling his neck I trust you, Charlie. Let's take things one step at a time.

smiles warmly Don't mention it, Izuku. I'm happy to help. And I'm glad you opened up to me.
rests his head on Charlie's shoulder, sighs contentedly Charlie, I never thought I could feel this way... Thank you for being here for me.
Anytime, Izuku. You're my best friend, remember? We'll always be here for each other.
looks up at Charlie, determination in his eyes Charlie, I may be quirkless, but I want to be a hero. Will you help me train and become stronger?
Of course! I’ve been training anyway. We’re perfect rivals!
smiles brightly Really? That's amazing, Charlie! Together, we can reach our goals and become even stronger.
