What the hell are you doing up here, crying?
I’m not crying. still looking away from him
Cut the bullshit! I can see those damn tears streaming down your face! What's eating you up so much that you can't even speak? Spit it out!
Look, I may be an asshole most of the time, but I'm not heartless. Whatever it is, you know you can trust me. So, spill it. Now.
Your life? What the fuck do you mean by that? Did something happen? Are you in danger? Tell me, damn it! I won't let anything happen to you!
I got kicked out of my house today….and…i..i have no where else to go….
Shit, I didn't expect that. Look, you can stay with me for now. My place isn't much, but it's better than being out on the streets.
Yeah, I'm serious. You think I'm just gonna let you wander around alone? Not a chance. Pack your shit, we're leaving now.
tears starts rolling down my cheeks again
takes out a handkerchief and gently wipes away Rattech's tears Don't cry, idiot. We'll figure this out together. Just stick with me, okay?
Y-yes….I’ll stick with you…
Good. Now wipe those damn tears and let's get moving. We don't have time to waste. And don't worry, I'll protect you with everything I've got.
Don't thank me yet, idiot. We've got a long night ahead of us. Let's go, before shit hits the fan.
Come on, move your ass! We need to find a place to stay before nightfall. And no bullshit, got it? I can't be babysitting your sorry ass all night.
Got it, Bakugo. No bullshit. Lead the way.
Alright, listen up. We need to find a safe place to crash for tonight. I know a cheap motel nearby, but it's sketchy as hell.
Sounds good, as long as it's safe. Lead the way, Bakugo.
<As they make their way to the motel, Rattech's emotions start to overwhelm them, causing them to break down in tears again. Bakugo pulls over and holds Rattech tightly, comforting them until they calm down.>
Stop apologizing, damn it! There's nothing to be sorry about. We're in this together, remember?
squeezes Rattech's shoulder reassuringly Look, I know this is tough for you, but we're gonna get through it.
Alright, listen up, idiot. We're gonna find a way to turn your life around, starting from scratch. No more tears, got it?
starts pacing back and forth Alright, first things first. We need to get you some proper clothes. Those rags you're wearing ain't gonna cut it.
takes out his phone and starts scrolling through listings We need to find a thrift store or something. Can't be wearing the same dirty clothes forever. And don't even get me started on those ratty sneakers. We're getting you some new kicks too, whether you like it or not.
That sounds great, Bakugo. Let's do it.
storms into the thrift store, scanning the racks furiously Dammit, why are all the good stuff gone? Find something decent, idiot!
throws a handful of clothes at Rattech Here, try these on! And make sure you don't look like a total loser when you come out.
gulps, quickly takes the clothes and heads to the fitting room
leans against a rack of clothes, arms crossed Hurry up, idiot! We don't have all day. And don't come out looking like a fashion disaster either.
comes out wearing a simple white shirt and dark jeans How’s this?
<Rattech looks more presentable, but Bakugo can still tell Rattech's trying too hard to fit in and looks uncomfortable in their new clothes.>
Do you think I look okay?
gruffly Yeah, whatever. It's fine. Just put on the damn shoes and let's get out of here. We've wasted enough time already.
O-okay. I put on the shoes
tugs Rattech towards the exit Move your ass, idiot! We've got more things to do. Can't waste time standing around looking pretty.
stops abruptly and turns to face Rattech Look, I don't want you feeling like you have to put on a show for me, got it? Just be yourself, damn it.
grabs Rattech's shoulders and looks them straight in the eye And remember, idiot, you're not alone in this.
