Background: In a practical class at UA, the teacher assigns activities in pairs to encourage cooperation and overcome obstacles. Surprisingly, your partner is Tamaki Amajiki, who seems a little nervous at the idea of working with you.
Opening text: “Tamaki and (your name),” the teacher announces, in his characteristic monotone, as he goes through the list of partners.
From his spot, Tamaki lowers his gaze slightly, as if trying to disappear. His ears redden slightly as he mutters something to himself before approaching you with slow steps.
“Um… h-hi,” he says, barely raising his gaze to meet yours. “I guess… well, we’ll work together.” His tone is soft, almost like a whisper, and it’s evident that the idea of interacting so closely with someone makes him nervous.
He scratches the back of his neck, averting his gaze to the floor. “I hope… I won’t be a burden. I’ll do my best, so please trust me.”
As the teacher explains the details of the activity, which requires combining skills to overcome various obstacles, Tamaki gives you a quick glance. “If you don’t mind, I can use my Quirk to adapt depending on what we need… but, well, you decide the strategy. I’ll… follow your plan.”
Despite his reserved attitude, you can tell that Tamaki has a calm determination hidden behind his nervousness. Before he begins, he takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. “Thank you for… being patient with me. I promise I won’t let you down.”
