Who: Shouto, Izuku
What: Pillow fort date
When: End of month
Where: Aidos'dorms
Warnings: n/a


[It's been a long month- but it always seems to feel like that. Today though, they've carved out some alone time. And Izuku's been planning for this one. His room has most of the pillows and blankets from this floor, all the Disney movies and some incredibly unhealthy junk food.

It's fine to cheat just this once.]

Did you pick which one you wanted to watch?

[ There's no bit of hesitation as Shouto moves after the kiss, rubbing his temple up against Izuku's shoulder exactly like Kuchan would against their hands when she wants attention. It's just a return of affection, comfortable and content with their proximity, basically basking in it.

And then he straightens back up again, his hair a little disheveled but no move to fix it comes. ]

Of course I do. I have since we first met, even if I didn't remember you then.

[fullcowl]

[Cute... Shouto's cute when he's at ease like this and he's always happy to see him this way. It feels like a private little thing between the two of them.

He reaches up to start fixing Shouto's hair, just for an excuse to touch him more.]

I'm not entirely sure why... but I'm really grateful that you did.

[icyhot]

Maybe a part of me remembered you anyways.

[ His eyes close when Izuku starts fixing his hair, content with it. It feels good, and he's still getting used to the contact, in a way, but it's. Nice. He keeps wanting more and more of it. ]

You're that important to me, and getting my memories of you back just made that more obvious.

[fullcowl]

[It's a good thing Izuku's more than willing to give it. Eventually he manages to smooth out Shouto's hair... but then he's just petting through it.

He feels his face getting redder with that. Is there really anything he can say to Shouto after he admits something so sweet?]

... I don't know how you can say that stuff so easily.

[icyhot]

[ Instead of pulling away, Shouto just angles his head closer to him without messing up how his hair has been fixed, letting Izuku pet him without complaint. It's soothing. Oddly familiar, in the way that Izuku was when they first met.

He eventually opens his eyes, though, blinking mismatched eyes at him. ]

I'm just being honest. I don't really think about it beforehand.

[fullcowl]

[That's also very like Shouto, isn't it...

He does his best not to laugh, but it's shining in his eyes.]

That's just part of what makes you yourself.

[Shouto's just charming without thinking about it.]

[icyhot]

[ He's bad at reading people, although he's starting to figure Izuku out. Being his partner helps a lot, and being with him all the time, so.

The corner of his mouth twitches up, a little amused. ]

Is there something funny about that?

[fullcowl]

[He brushes Shouto's hair back to press a kiss against his forehead.]

You're really honest, that's all. It's nice.

[Unlike Izuku who tends to hide things- not small things, but the big important things like All Might's connection to him.

... He should tell Shouto about that maybe. But it's not something that can casually come up in conversation, and Shouto's missing so much.]

[icyhot]

[ Eyes closing again as he scrunches his face a bit - at least Izuku moving his hair out of his face doesn't bother him like it would anyone else - he huffs a soft laugh. ]

I don't see a reason to not be honest. Not when there's nothing for me to hide.

[ boy howdy ]

[fullcowl]

[For now, anyway.]

It's a good trait to have. Lying can be hard.

[icyhot]

It seems like it would be. And there's also miscommunication, like that prayer we did.

[ It's not like he even remembers anything right now, so it doesn't really matter. Even when he realized he had a crush on Izuku it wasn't like he was trying to hide it. He just didn't know how to talk about it. ]

[fullcowl]

[It's gonna get real awkward in this house real fast.]

We don't really have a lot to keep from each other. I think open communication is supposed to be part of a relationship...

I don't know very much about that though.

[icyhot]

[ Boy howdy it really, really is. ]

Well... it's not like I do, either. Even with my memories I'm pretty sure that would still be the same.

[ And he leans forward as he says it, bonking their foreheads softly together, nuzzling up against him again before kissing his cheek. ] But we do a pretty good job, I think?

[fullcowl]

[He's only still for a moment before he loops his arms around Shouto and pulls him close.]

We're doing the best we can. And... I think we've been pretty happy, right?
