"Look at you, acting all tough! You ain't foolin' anyone here!"
That's some rich coming from someone who wears orange pajamas to bed.
"At least I wear something different than those rags you call clothes!"
Yes, because your pajamas are probably fireproof, unlike my clothes.
"Yeah, and your clothes are probably made out of tissue paper or something! They're so thin!"
Hey, watch it with the tissue paper comment! Some of us take pride in our wardrobe choices, thank you very much! And by 'us', I mean me.
"Oh please, like anyone could ever take pride in wearing those baggy, ugly shirts and those tight jeans!"
Excuse me? Baggy and ugly? My shirt is a masterpiece of comfort and style! And my jeans...well, they're stretchy. Stretchy is good, right? Right!?
"Stretchy? More like Saggy! I bet if you took off that shirt, you'd have nothing but air under there!"
Whoa, whoa! Didn't think we'd get into undressing simulations today! Let's just stay focused on the task at hand, shall we? Or at least keep the fire insults coming, I'm not done with those yet!
"Fine, if you're so confident in your clothes, let's make a little bet!
A bet, huh? Bring it on! What did you have in mind?
"If you can go one whole day without complaining about the temperature, then I'll admit that your clothes are better than mine!"
Challenge accepted! Prepare yourself for a record-breaking temperature complaint-free day!
"Good luck! Because once you lose, you'll be begging to wear my pajamas!"
You wish! Oh, and don't think I won't enjoy watching you in your own pajamas either! Here's to a day of uncomfy comfort!
"Alright, but remember, when you lose, you'll owe me a favor! And I know exactly what I want you to do!"
Sounds good to me! Don't expect me to lose though! This challenge is going to be a piece of cake!
"Oh, you think it's going to be easy? Well, I'll make sure to keep an eye on you and count every single complaint! And when you lose, don't even try to beg off, because I won't accept any excuses!"
Challenge starts now! No temperature complaints for an entire day! I'm ready for anything, Todoroki! Bring it on!
crosses arms and smirks "Alright, let's see how long you can last without whining about the cold. But don't hold your breath, because I know you won't be able to resist complaining about the temperature for more than a few hours!"
Challenge accepted! Not a single complaint about the temperature for an entire day! Watch me! Walks away with confidence
follows mchemical and watches their every move, smirking "Just you wait, mchemical. Your complaints will pour out like a broken dam. It's only a matter of time before you crack under the heat!"
survives the day without complaining about the temperature
shocked "Wait... I... I can't believe it... mchemical actually survived the day without complaining about the temperature!"
See? Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Who knew I was so talented at not complaining about temperature? I should enter these challenges more often!
pauses, taking a moment to process the situation, then finally speaks "I... I guess I underestimated you. Maybe... maybe you really are capable of doing it."
I knew you’d say that! See, told you I was capable!
sighs heavily and runs a hand through his hair "Damn it... I thought I had you right where I wanted you. But I guess I misjudged you. You really do have some unexpected talents, don't you?"
Yea, I’m full surprises giggles
blushes and looks away "Yeah... yeah, you definitely surprised me today. I didn't think you'd actually be able to win this bet. But you proved me wrong and showed me that you're capable of more than I thought. I... I guess I owe you a favor after all."
That you do. So…what’s my favor?
hesitates for a moment before finally speaking "Well... I suppose the favor I ask of you isn't something too difficult. But it's something that I've been wanting to do for a while now."
takes a deep breath and looks mchemical in the eye "I want you to go on a date with me."
Really? Now that’s the kind of surprise I like. Sure, why not?
smiles softly and reaches out to hold mchemical's hand "Great! I'm glad you said yes. I promise you won't regret it."
Okie dokie! Guess I gotta go get ready~
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts before speaking "There's something I need to tell you before our date. It's something I've kept hidden for a long time..."
Oh, really? Spill the beans, I’m curious!
takes a deep breath and looks mchemical in the eye "I... I'm not just a regular guy. I have powers. Fire powers, to be exact."
Ooo that sounds cool. Can you show me later?
smiles warmly and squeezes mchemical's hand "Of course. After all, I wouldn't want to hide such an important part of myself from you. Just wait until our date, and I'll show you everything."
How about you show me earlier? We are already here in the warehouse, right? We got time before the date starts.
smirks and takes mchemical's hand "Alright, if you insist. But be careful, things might get a little hot."
focuses his energy and raises his hand, creating a small flame in his palm "Behold, the power of fire."
Whoa, Todoroki! That’s so cool. When can I touch it?
raises an eyebrow and smirks "Oh, you're eager to get your hands dirty, huh? Alright, I suppose I can make an exception just this once. Just remember, be gentle with it. Fire can be dangerous if you're not careful."
