[He really has no reason to apologize in the first place, but he feels like he should at least explain himself before Hiro tells him he's awful or laughs at him or whatever he's going to do.]

Y-you're just... you're so cool and ever since the time we sang karaoke together and I realized you looked better in my own clothes than I did I've been thinking about you, like, nonstop and I thought that it was because I wanted my clothes back or something but then I realized that whenever I thought about you my heart felt really tight and I kept thinking about how the gap in your teeth is really cute and your eyes are like-- like those chocolate dippy things for strawberries that I can't think of the name right now a-and I didn't wanna tell you any of this because I was scared you'd just laugh at me and think it's creepy so I was going to just keep it in until I died and---

[stop him just stop him]
