Shouto

Kido spends most of her time in Izuku's apartment, to be completely honest. What was once probably a nice, communal couch, has somehow become her home with her hood thrown over it or her feet propped up on one arm at any given time.

Which is why it's almost weird when she's not there. She does, after all, have her own room. And today the door is open, with Kido, stereo headphones around her neck playing music softly, on a laptop, sitting on room's couch crosslegged. The bass of her music thuds along pleasantly and she seems pretty absorbed into it, but she glances up at the door every so often.

She doesn't want to bother Izuku or Shouto with her music and she thinks it's kind of pleasant to listen like this when she's transferring music onto it. She never goes very far from Izuku's apartment. She seems pretty relaxed, too, for once.

Goten

Look, she promised the kid she'd cook for the kid. She doesn't want to go back on this promise in particular. Besides, even if he's picky, she thinks something as simple as okonomiyaki can hide a few vegetables and she can tell him about it later.

But she thinks it's probably best not to take him into the communal apartment where she actually lives. She she's dusted off the room she's claimed as her own and tried to let in some light--she keeps it dark, for the most part, with the blinds shut, because she's in here so rarely and all she ever uses it for is a small music sanctuary. So it looks a little sparse, but she doubts that he'll even notice. She decides to wait outside for him, though. Make sure he gets here okay.

... Maybe she should've picked him up. She's not good with this kid thing...

The promise of food, even if it is going to have vegetables, is a hard one to pass up on. It clear Goten thinks with his stomach a lot of the time. When he is told to meet up with her and where to go, it doesn't take him long. Flying makes things much easier. It's hard to get lost when you can see a large area from a bird's eye view.

"I think is where sh-...Aha! There she is!"

Her waiting for him actually helps a lot! It's hard to miss that hoodie and green hair once he actually spots it! He perks instantly and slowly drops down behind her. It's when his feet are on the ground that he actually looks up and greets her with a smile.

"Kido! You didn't wait too long, huh?"

[blindfoldcode]

She didn't expect him to fly, to be honest. She must've missed that part when they met. She blinks for a few seconds, clearly frazzled before she shakes her head.

"Not really. I'm glad you found it though..."

Even if you flew which. Throws her off. A lot.

[sonofson]

It never really came up and now its just so natural that Goten doesn't even think about it. Flying is fun and just a easier way to get around. He doesn't seem to notice her surprise, more that he's just happy to see her.

"Mhm! It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be! This place is big, I thought I would get lost but...I didn't!"

Clearly he's proud of this small feat. His attention goes to the building she's standing in front of.

"You live here?"

[blindfoldcode]

"Yeah. The room we live in is on that floor." She points to it. "You didn't know what apartments were, right? Now you can see them."

She's going to start walking to bring him up the stairs, looking back to make sure he follows.

[sonofson]

"It's hugeee! And I thought Archie's home was big!" It's said in near awe as he stares up at the building. It's really different compared to some of the other temples or 'homes' he had gotten the chance to look at. How many floors did they have?

But once Kido starts moving up the staris and inside, he's quick to scurry behind after her. No way is he missing out on this.

[blindfoldcode]

"It is pretty big, but we only take up a couple rooms. The rest is open for everybody else to do stuff, I think. Shouto and I normally stay in the boss's room, anyway." They like to stay close and there's nothing that could make her happier.

She pops open a room close to the stairs--when she'd picked it, she'd been really scared of Izuku, though she doesn't like to admit it now. "How big is where you live?"

[sonofson]

"So you guys have this whole place to yourself? I think everyone could fit in this place!" Not her room, but the building itself. If Izuku ever gets any more shinki, they'll be set. He's content looking all around as they head to her room. Part of him wants to explore the building more but he's here for a reason so-

"Oh! The cave is sorta big if you wander around and don't get lost but its nothing like this." He just grins before heading inside the room as she opens the door, eager to see more.

[blindfoldcode]

Maybe not everyone, but if every god got one apartment for them and their shinki, maybe, yeah." She'll take him around after they eat if he asks. She and Deku found all the weird things, she thinks. Including that ayakashi infestation.

"Wait, the cave?"

[sonofson]

"Huh? But I thought you said this was an apartment? I don't think everyone needs a whole apartment with all these rooms" Goten blinks, head tilting to look up at her curiously. Then again, maybe everyone just liked that much space. Regardless, he's keen on looking around the room now.

"Ahuh! It's where Archie and me live. He says its a temple or something. It has a bunch of stuff like a kitchen and beds and stuff but it's still a cave. Water runs through it and there's a bunch of sharks and other fish too! It's really cool!" He enjoys it.

"You should come visit me too sometime, Kido! I can't cook but we could go swimming or something!"

[blindfoldcode]

"It's an apartment building. It means there's a bunch of little apartments that families live in. Or sometimes just one or two people." And yeah, a lot of families could live here. "So there's a few rooms in every apartment."

That's a lot of things in a temple. She's very glad she wound up with Deku. She wouldn't like sharks swimming through her home, thanks. "If there's sharks in the water, isn't it dangerous to swim? For you, especially."

[icyhot]

They both have their own spaces to retreat to, but he meant it when he said it seemed a lot like they spent more time in Izuku's apartment when it came to all of them hanging out. So he's fine with drifting back and forth between rooms, slowly working to remodel his to his liking but still comfortable hanging out with them.

Which is why Shouto passes, and then backtracks, when he goes by Kido's open door, tilting his head as he looks into the apartment. No memories or not, he's pretty sure that he's never heard music like that before. So actually hearing it, rather than the tinny sound you can pick up when someone is wearing headphones, explains in a way why Kido likes it. It seems... very her.

"Is that the music Midoriya mentioned?"

[blindfoldcode]

It's mellow and soft and sad most of the time. She's lost in her own little world and startled when stops. She turns a little red when she realizes he can hear it and her hands shoot to mute the computer and stop it from pouring out of her headphones.

"Y-yeah," it's not the kind of thing a normal teenage girl would listen to. Kido's super self conscious about that. How could music that sounds this sad, that sounds this bitter, make her happy and feel safe? "I can turn it down if you want."

[sonofson]

"Ooooh! I get it! It's like a house with a bunch more rooms for everyone! and even more rooms inside rooms!" How many rooms did one room--apartment need? It's so interesting. Izuku and Kido must have a lot of money to have a place like this or got super lucky!

"I donn, I haven't had anything happen to me yet." He really doesn't seem worried at all. "They're alot bigger then me but I think they're friendly?"

[blindfoldcode]

It's just a temple, dude. It came with the job for Izuku. "Yeah, kinda like that." She'll let him into her own. She's really glad she opened the windows for light.

"You're bite-sized for a shark, though, if they want a snack." Kido. Don't tell a kid that.

[sonofson]

"I'm not that small! But I'll give the shark a stomach ache until he spits me out." Because that's how getting eaten works, right? Goten just grins up at her before looking around the apartment.

"Why is your room so dark, Kido?"

[blindfoldcode]

"I guess that's a good way to fight it. But isn't it better to avoid getting eaten at all?" She chuckles. And she looks a little shy as she goes around, turning on the lights.

"I'm not in here a lot. I sleep on the boss's couch, mostly."

[sonofson]

"Ahuh! But I don't think it'll eat me." He's had no issue with the sharks so far, why would there be one later? He's confident or just not worried at all about it. Archie hasn't said anything against it.

"You don't like sleeping on your own bed though? He must have a really comfy couch!" He's starting to explore the apartment freely now, looking at this, picking up that.

[blindfoldcode]

Kids are really overconfident. She sighs.

"I like being closer to him. It feels safer for both of us. I want to make sure I'm there when he needs me."

[sonofson]

Goten blinks at that, looking back at her over his shoulder. His smile never fades, it acutally grows.

" Ohhhh, You and Deku are best friends! I bet you make an awesome team! I'm happy for you Kido!"

[blindfoldcode]

"I don't think that's it. I should just be around in case he needs me." She is pretty sure they're not best friends. "But he's a really good god. If you ever have problems, ask and we'll help you out.

"But I promised you food if you visited."

[sonofson]

"Okay! I'll remember that, but the same goes for me too! I wanna help you and Deku out if you need it!" Goten just grins. Trouble aside, he'd like to hang out with them more with out having to have a problem.

"You did!" THAT was what he came for. How did he get distracted from that? Kido is kind of fun to talk to so maybe that's why? His stomach even gives a low growl as a reminder. Goten laughs, patting it.

"I wanna try your cooking! I hope it's good."

[blindfoldcode]

"I think we've got it under control right now, but I'll remember you said that if it comes down to it." She will literally never ask a child for help though. Sorry, kid.

She has everything ready to be cooked, at least, though not actually cooked. She didn't know when he'd arrive or if he'd be on time. She gestures to a chair at the table. "It shouldn't take long, okay?"

[icyhot]

Without missing a beat, Shouto shrugs. He doesn't necessarily apologize for startling her, but he does tip his head down a little bit, in a more wordless version of it, acknowledging that he sort of crept up on her without entering the apartment.

"No, that's fine. It sounds interesting." He pauses, considering, then amends. "It sounds good. I wasn't sure what it would sound like when we first talked about it."

[blindfoldcode]

She's still embarrassed to have been caught with it. She'll stand by her taste in music, but it's her lifeline. Something else no one else gets, unless she trusts them.

She trusts Shouto well enough.

"... Want to come in?" Instead of just standing at the door, she means.

[sonofson]

He believes her too. Goten wants to be of help to everyone, especially people he likes and that cook good food. He trusts Kido knows to call him whenever! Kid or not!

"Okay! You're gonna have some too right?"
