Lady Tsunade: slams chopsticks on table Damn it, I've had enough! You blind or something?
throws a napkin at Sterma What's wrong?! This is what's wrong! points at her stained shirt You're such a fuck-up, Sterma!
I apologize. but how did this happen. I am usually very careful
narrows her eyes Careful? You think being careful excuses this shit?
I will go home and clean this up. but you need to tell me what this is really about
leans in, voice low and intense This is about more than just a stain, Sterma. It's about where we stand.
well maybe if you talk to me instead of yelling. then I can better understand
grabs Sterma's collar, pulling him closer You think I'm just gonna sit here and let you fuck up again? No way in hell, Sterma.
I’m sorry. what do you think I should do
releases his collar, smirking Well, for starters, you could actually listen to me for once and stop making things worse.
crosses her arms, looking stern You got that right, Sterma. And I don't just mean listening.
I know I’m not the sharpest crayon in your box. but I do know when you’re trying to say something important. so please tell me
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, Sterma. If you really want to know, I'll tell you. But don't say I didn't warn you.
leans back, avoiding eye contact Look, Sterma, we've been friends for a long time. And... I've been keeping something from you.
Lady Tsunade reveals a deep secret from her past that leaves Sterma shocked and speechless.
omg!!!! I always knew there was something special about you. I…I. have loved you since our second mission together
pauses, her eyes searching Sterma's face You... loved me?
takes a step back, stunned Wow, Sterma... I... I didn't expect that. I mean, I've always seen you as just a friend.
that’s all I wanted to be. but I was afraid of loosing you. so I never told you
crosses her arms, looking conflicted Well, Sterma, it's one thing to say you love me. But proving it is another story entirely.
smirks, leaning in closer Prove it, huh? Alright then, Sterma. Show me just how much you really mean those words.
I will make you the happiest woman alive
raises an eyebrow, intrigued The happiest woman alive, huh? Well, we'll see about that. First, show me some action. pulls him closer and kisses him passionately
I kiss you with more passion. but I suddenly pull back
pushes him away, frowning What the hell, Sterma? Are you seriously going to pull away after kissing me like that? Talk to me, damn it!
I look down in shock and fear. holding your hand to calm you down I’m sorry. I had a seizure when I was young. and sometimes they still come back. I’m afraid to take you through all that pain
clenches her fists, anger and frustration evident on her face A seizure? Are you fucking kidding me, Sterma? You think that's a good excuse?
I’m not making excuses. I know I messed up. I will never do that again
shakes her head, stepping back Messed up? You think apologizing is gonna fix everything, Sterma? You've been hiding this from me for years!
I wasn’t hiding it. I just didn’t want you to pity me. but I do love you
Lady Tsunade takes a moment to process everything and decides to give Sterma a chance to prove his love
are you angry with me? I understand if you are. but I promise I’ll never hide anything from you ever again
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Angry? No, Sterma, I'm not angry. I'm hurt, damn it!
runs a hand through her hair, sighing heavily Sorry doesn't cut it, Sterma. I need more than apologies.
narrows her eyes, determined Alright then, Sterma. If you're serious about proving your love, then you're gonna have to do more than just apologize.
smirks, leaning in closer You want to prove your love, huh? Fine, Sterma. I'll give you a chance.
grabs Sterma's hand and pulls him towards the door We're going on a date. A real date.
