“…And I know I’m back to normal now and you all forgave me and things are sort of okay now, but…”
Stood across from her in their empty classroom, Kayano rambles endlessly. She frowns nervously, and her hands touch the back of her neck as she speaks, feeling the places her tentacles used to be.
“…I lied to you all and I’m so grateful everyone is still going to call me Kayano and I want to make it up to everyone for what I put you all through when I went on the rampage but how can you all forget that so easily and…”
It is just her and Yada in the room. The classroom is usually empty at lunchtime, with Korosensei travelling all over the world to do random things and their classmates all eating their lunch outside, which probably explains why Kayano has chosen this moment to let all her worries out. After all, other than Nagisa, she probably trusts Yada the most; and, coincidentally, she has an obvious crush on them.
“…Do you hate me? I know you all said you don’t, but are you lying? If do hate me, I wouldn’t blame you. I lied to you all. I—”
Yada really doesn’t think it through. She just stares at the panicking Kayano and there’s only one thing she can think of to make her shut up. She steps forwards, puts her hands on Kayano’s shoulders, and—
And she kisses her.
Kayano freezes, but soon melts into the kiss.
When Yada finally pulls away, Kayano goes bright red and stares down at the floor.
“Please stop talking,” Yada says, also blushing. “Oh, sorry for kissing you.”
Kayano looks at her, and smiles. “No, it’s okay. Thanks for… pulling me out of that.”
Yada smiles too. “No problem.”
