Oi! Where the hell have you been?! Do you have any idea what time it is?!
It's 3 in the fucking morning, Bakugo! Of course, I don't know what time it is!
I don't care if you don't know the time, you should at least be home by this hour! What if something happened to you?
Nothing happened to me, idiot. I just got caught up with some friends.
Friends? Since when do you have friends? And why were you drinking with them?
Shut up, Bakugo! I have friends, alright? And I wasn't drinking! Just... celebrated something, okay?
Celebrated what? Don't lie to me! I know you're up to no good!
No, I'm not, Bakugo! It's none of your damn business anyway!
None of my business?! You think I'm just gonna sit back and let you endanger yourself like this?!
No, Bakugo, you're not gonna do anything about it! Now get lost!
Fine! If that's how you wanna play it! storms off and slams the door
Ha! Finally got him to leave!
punches the wall in anger Damn it! I can't stand seeing them putting themselves in danger like this! takes a deep breath I need to find a way to keep them safe...
knocks on XxShopping's bedroom door Hey, I know we had our differences last night, but I wanted to check up on you. Are you okay?
Look, I may not be the best at expressing it, but... I worry about you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Can we talk?
sits down next to XxShopping Look, I've been a hothead my whole life, and I know I can come off as aggressive or mean at times. But the truth is, I care about you. You're my roommate, my friend, and I can't stand seeing you put yourself in danger like that. So, please, let me help you. Let me be there for you.
puts a hand on XxShopping's shoulder Thank you for listening. From now on, I'll make sure nothing bad happens to you. I promise.
Alright, first things first. We need to talk about those friends of yours. Who are they and why were they encouraging you to go out partying so late?
My friend Emily… she always celebrate something at night.. it was her birthday and she wanted to celebrate..
Birthday, huh? Well, if it's a celebration you want, then we'll celebrate. But this time, we'll do it safely. No more late nights and dangerous situations. Deal?
Good. Now, let's come up with a plan to ensure your safety. First, we'll set some ground rules for your celebrations.
Sure, I guess that's a good idea. What kind of rules are we talking about?
We're talking about rules that will keep you safe, XxShopping. No more late nights, no more dangerous situations.
And that's final! No arguments, no exceptions. I won't allow you to put yourself in harm's way anymore. Got it?
Good. Now, let's establish a system of checks and balances.
Alright, sounds reasonable. What did you have in mind?
I'll be in charge of making sure you're safe and sound. I'll be keeping an eye on you and your friends, ensuring that you're not getting into any trouble.
And don't think you can get away with lying to me either.
You will check in with me every night before going out, and let me know where you'll be and who you'll be with.
And if anything happens while you're out, you'll call me immediately. Do you understand?
pulls out a notebook and pen Good. Now, let's start by creating a schedule for your nightly check-ins.
