The atmosphere in the room shifted quite a bit, a weight hanging heavy as you had sunken deeper into your seat. The lulled whispers coming from each one of your classmates reminding you of your mishap earlier.

Kenzo leaned closer, his eyes full of concern, though you saw straight through his little bluff, a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"Come on, you've got to pull yourself together. He's still talking!"

You dared to look back up, but your cat-like eyes only landed on Dynamight, now answering a question about battle strategies, asked by one of your classmates. The way he almost commanded the room - so passionately, so strongly - you wished you were him, just like him. How could you have made such a fool of yourself? You could have asked him something worth his time, to prove yourself worthy to even listen to him speak, yet you stuffed up.

If only you had just contained yourself.

But just as the embarrassment and shame rained down on you, Dynamight's voice broke through your thoughts. "And remember, it's not just about the flashy moves. It's about knowing when to act and when to hold back. Sometimes, you need to let others shine too." He was aspiring to a fault, the way he articulated his thoughts and passions into a single phrase, though known for his brash demeanour, it had stung too close to home.

God you were on the urge of tears, but you had to contain youself.

That's when it hit you square in the skull: this wasn't just about you, nor him, nor anyone, nor the though of trying to impress someone; it was about learning and growing. Sure, you fucked up, but what was the point of being here if you didn't embrace and take in the experience, even if there were shits and giggles? You sat up straight, wiping the sweat off your forehead with the back of your palm.

Contain yourself, and learn from this Y/N.

"Hey, Y/N!" Kenzo's whisper had broken your focus. "You still alive over there? You look like a ghost! All white, pale..."

"HOLY- Shut up!" you hissed, rolling your eyes melodramatically. "I'm fine. Just... thinking."

"Thinking about how you're going to redeem yourself?" Kenzo grinned widely. "You should just ask him about his favourite video games or something... I mean, you do know what favourite game is, right?? "

"I said shut up - I'd embarrass myself even more!"

"Or you could just ask him how he deals with pressure. You know, something that actually matters?" He nudged your arm, too temped to just punch Kenzo right then and there but having to ask something that mattered did resonate with you.

You took a deep breath. The next time no one dared to ask the next question, you would be fucking ready. No more whimpering behind your desk. You wanted to prove to him - and yourself - (And partially everyone in your class) that you were serious this time.

As the class went on, you listened closely, making sure every little thing he'd ever say get locked inside your brain. You could feel the intense glares from students around you as you stood up straight, determined to ask that question like the world needed it, and for the first time since your embarrassing moment, you felt, prouder than ever.

Suck it up Y/N, SUCK IT UP!!!

Finally, it was time. Dynamight glanced around the room, his gaze landing on yours, almost hesitant to even speak again. "Alright, who's got another question?"

You shot your hand up again, almost a fiery façade coursed through you, you could feel it almost burning your tail. "Dynamight! How do you handle pressure when everything feels like it's crashing down????"

Goddamnit, answer me!
