[ dextera absolutely, definitely wants to be friends. how could he turn down such an earnest question? he’s new to friendship too, but he’s learned that it can be good. it doesn’t have to hurt or be scary, to get close to people.
so he nods, quickly, taking izuku’s hand insistently to express just how much he wants to see this friendship blossom. ]
[It's a surprise when Dextera takes Izuku's hand in his, but rather than pulling away, Izuku simply tightens his hold. They're holding hands! That means they're definitely friends now.]
Friends. [Izuku says out loud, smiling gently at Dextera.] So don't worry about repaying me or anything. As long as you like it and think it's useful, that's all that matters.
[ friends. there's a long pause where dextera doesn't seem to do anything, or even react with his face to that statement... and then he relaxes slowly, without letting go. then, even more slowly than that, a shy smile comes to his face.
he nods once again, and closes his eyes in silent acceptance. ]
