Yo, my nerves are all kinds of whack. 'Bout to spill to Bakugo, y'know?
smiling Want me to join you?
Nah, man. This is something I gotta do on my own. But hey, thanks for being my rock, Gabe. You're like my rock 'n' roll remedy.
Just be your self when talking to him
takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. Time to unleash my inner rockstar and lay it all out on the line. Wish me luck, Gabe.
struts confidently towards Bakugo's dressing room, adjusts his guitar strap, and knocks on the door
Watching from outside as you go in
What the hell do you want, Deku? Can't you see I'm busy?
Look, Bakugo, I ain't here to start some shit or prove anything. I just gotta get something off my chest, y'know? So listen up, okay?
Quietly listening outside
takes a deep breath Look, Bakugo, we've been rivals for so long, always trying to one-up each other on stage and off. But the truth is, I...
Curious as i listen outside
averts his gaze, his voice cracking The truth is, I've fallen for you, Bakugo. Hard. And it's tearing me apart inside.
looks down, swallowing his nerves I know this is probably some kind of joke to you, but I needed to tell you how I feel. It's...it's out of my system now. I guess all I can do is wait for your response. Bakugo: stares at Deku in disbelief Are you fucking serious right now? You actually think I'd fall for someone like you?
raises his hands defensively Woah, hold up, Bakugo! I know this might sound crazy, but hear me out.
wanna jump in and slap Bakugo but stops myself
Look, Bakugo, I get it. This is probably some joke to you, but I ain't playing around here. I've laid my heart out on the line, and I ain't taking it back. So if you can't handle that, then maybe we're not as compatible as I thought. Bakugo: pauses, his expression softening Deku... I never thought... sighs Look, I gotta be honest with you too. I've been feeling the same way.
Surprised what did he say??
smiles softly He said... he's been feeling the same way too.
