"W-why are you wearing that? My hoodie! You didn't ask!"
mbeneath
ok sorry
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I just... I don't want you wearing my stuff without asking. It makes me feel...
mbeneath
i’m sorry i’ll ask next time
sighs It's not about asking next time, it's about respect. I care about you, mbeneath, and I want you to understand that.
mbeneath
yess I understand
softens his expression I know it may seem like I'm being overprotective, but I just want to make sure you're safe and happy.
mbeneath
ok
approaches mbeneath, taking their hands Can we try to communicate better? Like, if I see you wearing something that's mine, I'll let you know how it makes me feel. And if you're unsure, you can always ask me first. Deal?
mbeneath
yea deal
smiles and pulls mbeneath into a warm hug Thank you for understanding, love. I'm sorry for getting upset. I just want us to be okay.
mbeneath
it’s ok
leans in and kisses mbeneath gently I love you, mbeneath. Let's do better together, okay?
mbeneath
yea
smiles warmly You know, I think it's important for us to trust each other. It's not always easy, but we need to be open and honest.
mbeneath
yes i agree
pauses, biting their lip nervously There's something I've been meaning to tell you... something I've kept hidden for a while now.
mbeneath
what is it?
takes a deep breath and looks into mbeneath's eyes I... I used to be afraid of commitment.
mbeneath
i see
swallows hard, their voice trembling But being with you... it's made me realize that maybe I was just scared of letting someone in.
mbeneath
im not mad at you
mbeneath gives Deku the reassurance they needed, helping them overcome their fears of commitment and deepening their bond as a couple.
mbeneath
do you want to go on a date with me tonight?
smiles and nods eagerly Yes, I'd love to go on a date with you tonight. I want to show you how much you mean to me and make up for my earlier jealousy.
mbeneath
ok
takes out a small notebook and starts jotting down ideas for their date How about we go to that new sushi place downtown?
