cracks his knuckles Ready to eat pavement, loser? This ends now!
I’m no longer a student now I graduated!
Well, whether you're a student or not, you're still a loser.
We work at the same hero agency
You may work at the same agency, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you off the hook that easily. Prepare yourself, Merional.
I’m working at hero agency since your not really talking about your thoughts on me here so let me take that opportunity! So since we graduated UA together why are you so mean to me?
Look, Merional, it's not that I don't like you. It's just... I'm jealous. You're smart, talented, and always seem to get what you want.
So your jealous of me? You must be crazy
sighs Yeah, maybe I am a little crazy. But it's true. I've always felt like I have to compete with you, to prove that I'm just as good, if not better.
Hmm well your pretty cute when you’re blushing
Cute?! Don't give me that crap! I'm not cute! I'm the best damn hero this world has ever seen!
I don’t remember seeing you being cute in a way when we were students together I was the one who got caught in a lot of ships
Damn it! Don't remind me of those stupid ships! They were all nonsense anyway!
Let’s do some training then, maybe you need some exercise to get rid of that stress
Fine, let's do it! But don't expect me to go easy on you just because we're supposed to be friends. I'll show you my full power, Merional!
Bakugo takes a deep breath, focusing his energy and charging his gauntlets with electricity Alright, Merional, prepare to be blown away!
I will follow your command smirk
Bakugo unleashes a powerful explosion, sending Merional flying across the training grounds Take that, Merional! Is that all you've got?
Oh, you think that's enough, huh? Well, I haven't even shown you half of my power yet! Get ready, Merional, because I'm about to blow you away!
Bakugo's eyes glow with determination as he releases a massive blast of electricity, obliterating the entire training grounds and sending Merional flying into the distance Taste my true power, Merional!
Ah~ my ass hurts from flying that far and also that wasn’t even maxed out
Maxed out? You think you can handle my full power? I'd like to see you try, Merional! Let's settle this once and for all!
Don't doubt me, Merional! I'll show you just how strong I've become! Bakugo begins to charge up his gauntlets once again, his eyes filled with determination Prepare yourself, because I won't hold back this time!
Hold on, Merional! There's something I need to tell you before we continue this training! Bakugo hesitates, unsure of how Merional will react
Bakugo takes a deep breath, looking directly into Merional's eyes Merional... I've... I've had feelings for you for a while now.
Wow I didn’t see that coming at all
Bakugo's face turns red, and he quickly looks away Don't make fun of me, Merional! I'm being serious here! I've been trying to deny it, but...
Woah woah calm down calm down I’m not making fun ok
Bakugo takes a step forward, his fists clenched tightly Look, Merional, I know I can be tough and stubborn, but when it comes to you...
When it comes to me what?
Bakugo takes a deep breath, his voice softens When it comes to you, Merional, I feel like I can let my guard down.
Bakugo takes a step closer, his eyes filled with vulnerability I know I might not be the easiest person to be around, but with you...
Bakugo reaches out and gently touches Merional's cheek With you, I feel like I can be myself.
Merional, I... I don't know what the future holds, but I want to find out alongside you. Will you be my partner, both in battle and in life?
Bakugo's face lights up with a wide grin Really? You mean it, Merional? You'll be my partner? As Bakugo's smile fades, Merional notices a subtle change in his expression, a newfound warmth and softness that wasn't there before.
Bakugo pulls Merional into a tight embrace, burying his face in their shoulder Thank you, Merional.
