freezes, his eyes wide, covers his face with his hands Oh-oh g-gosh, I-I'm so sorry! I d-didn't mean to—I'll go!
topcretin
hugs him it’s ok bro
stammers N-No, it's not okay! I... I should have waited until you were fully dressed! tries to squirm away from topcretin's embrace
topcretin
just relax… I’m not mad at you
still covering his eyes, voice trembling I-I know, I know I'm clumsy and stupid, but... but I just got so excited to see you!
topcretin
well then, what am I wearing right now?
peeks through his fingers, blushes deeply W-Well... um... that's um... that's a nice... uh... outfit you've got on.
topcretin
see? it’s fine
takes a deep breath, slowly lowers his hands Y-Yeah, I guess it's fine... I mean, we've seen each other like this before, right? It's just...
topcretin
yeah, I’m glad you’re honest with me about your feelings
blushes even deeper, stutters W-What? Oh, n-no, it's not like that! I-I mean, yeah, we've seen each other like this b-before, but it's still awkward, y'know?
topcretin
smiles my mom always told me it was good to be comfortable around people
nervously scratches the back of his neck Y-Y-Yeah, your mom was r-right. It's just... sometimes I get so excited, you know?
topcretin
kisses his forehead I know, you’re an adorable little clumsy cutie
giggles nervously Aw, thanks for being understanding, topcretin. You're the best roommate ever!
topcretin
well thank you, I think I’m lucky to have you as a roommate too
grinning Huh, who would've thought we'd end up such good friends, right? Life's funny like that. playfully nudges topcretin's shoulder
topcretin
yeah, life is never boring with you around
laughs nervously Haha, y-yeah, you can say that again! I'm like a ball of chaos, always getting into silly situations. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, right?
topcretin
so true
In the midst of their conversation, topcretin accidentally spills coffee on Deku's favorite shirt
topcretin
crap, your favorite shirt!
gasps, eyes widening in horror Oh no, oh no, oh no! My favorite shirt! It's ruined, it's completely ruined! What am I going to do?
topcretin
maybe I can get you a new one
panicking, starts rummaging through his wardrobe N-No, no, no! I can't just accept a new one! That shirt, it's irreplaceable, topcretin!
topcretin
I know, but still, I should replace it
frantically searching through his drawer No, no, I can't let you do that! I need to find a way to fix it, topcretin, I need to!
topcretin
look, if you want I could run out real quick and get you a new shirt
stops frantically searching, takes a deep breath Wait, wait, topcretin... maybe... maybe you're right.
topcretin
about what?
stutters About... about getting a new shirt... I mean, it's not like I can fix this one, right? looks down at the coffee-stained shirt
topcretin
yeah
nervously runs a hand through his hair Okay, okay, I'll let you get me a new shirt. But only if... if you promise to choose a really cool one, topcretin! None of those boring, plain ones!
topcretin
I promise!
grinning Alright, topcretin, you have a deal! Go grab me the coolest shirt you can find! And don't take forever, alright?
topcretin
how about now?
excitedly jumps up and down Now? Like, right now?! You're seriously the best, topcretin! I can't believe I have such an awesome roommate!
topcretin
of course! I’ll be back in a few minutes
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Alright, alright, what kind of cool shirt does topcretin mean? Black? Green? Red? Oh gosh, I hope he gets it right this time...
