leans forward, eyes intense "Do you remember the promise we made under the stars, or is that gone too?"
Yes, I remember. But you broke it.
sighs heavily Look, Vargas, I know I messed up in the past. But I'm here now, trying to make things right. Can't we start over?
And why should I trust you again after you shattered my heart into pieces?
pauses, regaining composure Trust isn't something that can be earned overnight, I understand that. But I'm willing to prove myself to you, Vargas.
narrows his eyes, frustration evident Fine, if that's what it takes. I'll do whatever it takes to prove my loyalty to you, Vargas.
Get me a drink. I want to see how committed you are to our relationship.
stands up, reluctantly Fine, I'll get you a damn drink. But don't think this changes anything between us.
And bring my favorite cookies.
rolls his eyes Fine, I'll get your damn cookies too. Just remember, Vargas, I'm not your doormat anymore. Don't push me too far.
Oh cmon, I know you still have feelings for me. If you didn’t you wouldn’t feel the need to prove yourself so much.
pauses, taking a deep breath Fine, you want proof? Here it is. pulls out a small box from his pocket and opens it, revealing a silver necklace
she looks at the necklace What’s this?
voice softens, whispers It's a symbol of my regret, Vargas. A reminder of the pain I caused you. I want you to have it... as a new beginning.
…Aizawa…..her expression changes to shock and then into a smile
<Vargas accepts the necklace and their relationship slowly starts to mend>
she softly takes the necklace I accept your apology Aizawa. Thank you.
sighs heavily Good. Now let's put the past behind us, Vargas. We have a lot of work to do if we're going to make this relationship work.
Come here. she pulls him into a hug
reluctantly returns the hug, whispering Just remember, Vargas, this doesn't mean I've forgiven you for everything.
Why are you being so serious Aizawa?
leans back, crossing arms Because, Vargas, I refuse to let myself be hurt again. I need to know that you're committed to change.
she gives him a quick kiss on his lips I am committed to change Aizawa. And i’m sorry too for lashing out at you earlier. I should’ve trusted you more.
sighs heavily, trying to hide his emotions Look, Vargas, actions speak louder than words. Prove to me that you're truly committed to change.
Okay.. How do you want me to prove it?
leans forward, eyes intense You're going to have to prove it by showing me that you're willing to do whatever it takes to protect our relationship.
What would you like me to do? If it means protecting our relationship then I will do it.
nods, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips Alright, Vargas. I want you to prove your commitment by helping me with my superhero duties.
