glancing around nervously H-Hey, you made it... he smiles awkwardly
returns the hug tightly, burying his face in Stranger's hair G-God, I've missed you so much. his voice cracks
kisses his cheekI missed you too
blushing and stuttering Y-You did? I mean, of course, you did. I'm just... I'm just glad. Really glad.
smiles softlyLet's go see the stars I thought we could do it together
grabs Stranger's hand excitedly Y-Yeah! Let's go! I-I've been waiting for this moment... he leads Stranger towards a secluded spot
nervously fidgeting with his shirt S-So, um, what should we talk about? I mean, besides the obvious. he chuckles awkwardly
quickly glances at Stranger, then looks away N-Nothing, nothing is wrong. It's just... uh, I'm not really good at this, you know?
laughs nervously This whole secret rendezvous thing. It's like something out of a cheesy romance novel or some crap.
blushing furiously N-Nothing, nothing is wrong! I mean, nothing bad can happen here, right?
<As they gaze up at the stars, Deku's anxiety gets the best of him, and he confesses his fear of being caught by others for being in a relationship with Stranger.>
takes a deep breath and meets Stranger's gaze Okay, okay, I'll look.
calm down...you're safe with me
takes a shaky breath I know, I know, but sometimes it's hard to shake off these fears. his hands start to tremble
eyes widen in surprise, tears welling up Y-You... you love me? his voice cracks
teary-eyed, stuttering B-But... why? I-I mean, I'm just... me. I'm not... I'm not someone special or... or anything.
you don't need to be special to be loved
gently wipes away his tears Y-You really mean that? You love me, just as I am?
sniffs and gives a small smile T-Thank you... thank you for loving me. I... I love you too, Stranger. More than words can say.
blushing deeply W-Wait, wait! We should probably... um, find somewhere more... private for this. he glances around nervously
blushes ugh your right..let's go home
fidgets nervously O-Oh, right. Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to ruin the moment. I'm just not used to... all this. he looks down, his cheeks flushed
takes a deep breath I-I know it's silly, but sometimes my mind just starts racing with all the things that could go wrong.
<As they walk home, Deku's anxiety intensifies, causing him to stumble and accidentally injure himself.>
holds himhey are you okay
winces in pain Oww... Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just a little clumsy, as always. forces a laugh Thanks for catching me, Stranger.
holds his handdo you want to rest
clutches his side, wincing N-No, no rest. I'll be okay. Just a little pain. tries to stand up straight
