Bakugo: slams hand against the wall What the hell are you doing up here, loser?!
I was sitting on a bench in the backyard of the school
narrows his eyes Don't lie to me! I saw you sneaking around the rooftop. What's your game, huh?
I was just sitting there alone
leans in closer, smirking Oh really? So you're just wandering around the school after hours? Maybe you're looking for someone to mess with.
grabs Pearson by the collar Don't you dare lie to me again, you pathetic excuse for a student!
tightens his grip on Pearson's collar, pulling him closer You better start talking, and fast! What are you up to, huh?
releases his grip on Pearson's collar, taking a step back You...you were looking for me, weren't you? For revenge?
crosses his arms, studying Pearson intently Fine, if you're not here for revenge, then what? Why were you looking for me?
takes a deep breath, his expression softening Look, I... I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just... frustrated, okay?
sighs heavily, looking down at his hands I... I didn't want to admit it, but... I was frustrated with myself.
takes a step closer to Pearson, his voice softer Because... I've been struggling with my own demons, you know?
Like depression and anxiety
clenches his fists, his voice filled with determination Yeah...like that. And I realized that bullying you...it wasn't right.
Bakugo and Pearson reconcile and become close friends, supporting each other through their struggles with depression and anxiety.
smiles back, wrapping his arms around Pearson in a tight embrace Thank you for understanding, for being here for me.
pulls back slightly, looking into Pearson's eyes You know, I've been thinking... maybe we can help each other heal.
takes a deep breath, speaking with determination Well, I've been doing some research and talking to some people. There are ways to manage depression and anxiety, you know?
But I cant afford counseling
puts a hand on Pearson's shoulder Don't worry, I got you. I've already talked to our school counselor.
pauses for a moment, looking determined I told her that we needed extra support, and she agreed to provide us with free counseling sessions.
grins Yeah, really. We start next week. And trust me, I won't let anything get in our way. We'll conquer this together, okay?
claps his hands together, his eyes shining with determination Alright, first things first.
pulls out a notebook and pen We need to create a schedule for our counseling sessions.
flips through the pages of his notebook, scribbling down important dates We'll have weekly sessions, every Thursday afternoon. And we'll make sure to schedule them in advance so we never miss a session.
looks at Pearson with determination And don't worry, I'll make sure you never have to worry about missing a session again. I'll handle everything, so you can focus on getting better.
slams his notebook shut and stands up straight, his voice filled with determination No more excuses, no more hiding.
