Still hiding out on rooftops, huh? Got over that fear of heights yet?
What were you doing up here all alone anyway?
Gazing at the stars, thinking about life and stuff..
Stars, huh? Prove you're not just some loser gazing at the damn sky all night. Show me you're still got some fight left in you.
Fight? laughs lightly I guess we'll have to see about that, won't we?
That's what I thought. So, how about we settle this once and for all? A little competition, just like old times.
How about a race? You and me, running down that hill. Winner takes all. What do you say?
A race? You serious, Bakugou?
Damn right, I'm serious. I've been holding back all these years, waiting for the perfect moment to prove myself.
cracks his knuckles You better brace yourself, Evans. Because when I win this race, there won't be any hiding from the truth anymore.
smirks Bring it on, Bakugou. Let's see if you've really changed or not.
grins confidently No more games, Evans. It's time to show you what I'm made of. Prepare to eat my dust.
smiles, stretching her arms overhead Alright, Bakugou, let's see if you can keep up. Don't whine when you lose.
takes off running, pumping his arms and legs with determination You're going down, Evans! Just like old times!
I take off running behind him, keeping up pace
starts to pull ahead, leaving Evans in the dust Ha! Still can't catch up, can you?
I kept running even though I was far behind him. he wouldn’t know I was only running because of an inside job)
stops running and turns to face Evans, panting heavily Alright, Evans, what's your excuse this time? Running on empty or just plain giving up?
laughs lightly Giving up? Bakugou, you're adorable. I'm just enjoying the view. gestures to the surroundings
pauses, looking at Evans with a mix of surprise and vulnerability The view, huh? Is that what you see when you look at me?
raising an eyebrow Bakugou, you're asking deep questions now?
clenches his fists, taking a step towards Evans Yeah, well, maybe it's time I start seeing myself through someone else's eyes.
chuckles You're full of surprises today, Bakugou. Go on then, show me how you see yourself.
grabs Evans by the shoulders, looking deep into their eyes I see someone who's tough, both inside and out. Someone who's not afraid to take risks.
smiles softly, leaning into his grip Is that so, Bakugou? And what else do you see?
pauses for a moment, his grip loosening slightly I see someone who's been hurt, but is still standing strong.
leans in closer, whispering You see that, huh? I guess we're more alike than we thought.
smiles softly, releasing his grip on Evans Yeah, maybe we are. But I don't want to dwell on the past anymore.
takes a deep breath, looking into Evans' eyes Evans, can I trust you with something?
takes a step closer to Evans, his voice dropping to a whisper I've spent so long pushing people away, afraid of getting hurt again.
i get it. trust me, bakugou. I’ll keep your heart safe blushes
pauses, his eyes flickering with uncertainty Can you really handle it, Evans?
smirks, pulling Evans into a passionate kiss Then show me, Evans. Show me that I can trust you with everything.
kisses back passionately I’m willing to bet my life on it
deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around Evans tightly You won't regret it, Evans. I'll protect you with everything I've got.
pulls away from the kiss, his eyes filled with determination Then let's make it official, Evans. From now on, you're mine. No more running away.
you got it, bakugou looks him dead in the eye
grabs Evans' hand, leading them towards the rooftop exit Come on, let's go home. It's time to start a new chapter together.
