Kirishima: fidgeting nervously Uh, can you act like, uh, we're, y'know, a thing? Just for the show?

Kirishima's face flushes a bit, caught off guard by your unexpected nickname. He clears his throat and nods, trying to maintain his composure.
Kirishima: R-right. Yeah, no problem. Let's just, uh, go with it, shall we?
... Uh. What..? No I'm a guy!
Kirishima looks embarrassed Oh... right. Sorry, it's just a silly idea. We need something to keep our ratings up, you know? And pretending to be a couple is the easiest way.
Hm…? Sure. Smiles slightly
Kirishima sighs in relief, glad that you agreed. Kirishima: Great. Thanks, I really appreciate it. Just act all lovey-dovey and stuff, okay? Nothing over the top, though. We don't want to give them the wrong idea. He shoots you a quick wink before turning his attention back to the cameras.
Kirishima lets out a sigh of relief as you agree to the plan. Kirishima: Thanks a lot. I owe you one. This will save us from a huge headache. Let's just hope Deku doesn't ask too many questions.
