Try to believe walking down the lonesome road

[inheritance]

[With the start of their internships fast approaching, it's no wonder a good portion of the students in 1-A are too excited to properly concentrate during class. Aizawa, picking up on their lack of focus, eventually ends the class a few minutes early with a tired, exasperated sigh. Izuku grins guiltily at their teacher's retreating back. He can't exactly blame his classmates for distracted like this--picking their hero names and their first internship is pretty exciting. And a big step toward being pros.

Fidgeting with the bandages on his hands, Izuku turns in his seat and just happens to catch Todoroki's eyes. There's the barest flicker of hesitation before Izuku offers up a cheerful smile.] Todoroki-kun, have you already decided where you're going for your internship?

[The classroom's already emptying out, but there's no real need to hurry out like everyone else is. Besides, Izuku hasn't really gotten a chance to talk to Todoroki since the festival. Remembering how subdued Todoroki was during the medal ceremony has made it difficult for him to shake away his concerns. So Izuku gathers up his books slowly and waits for an answer.]

[ Shouto is simply the kind of guy who thinks it's much too much emotional energy to lie. Especially to somebody he honestly enjoys being around.

Ever since the sports festival he's quietly inserted himself into Midoriya's group of friends. He's grateful it seems like they've all accepted him as a quiet, steady presence. ]

The strawberries and chocolate were very good. I'm looking forward to trying more.

[Izuku laughs, giving a pointed nod toward the crepe in Todoroki's hand.] Let's finish this one before we even think about what flavor to try next.

[At least there's not much of the crepe left. As much as Izuku enjoyed them, that was a lot of sugar they've just consumed. He wonders if they should share just one next time--it's a thought worth bringing up later.]

[He leans a little closer to Midoriya without really thinking about it.]

Hm... Maybe two was too much?

[But that would mean sharing one... that's not that much of a weird thing though. They've already shared today.]

[inheritance]

Just a little. [Izuku props his chin in one hand, feeling a jolt of nerves as Todoroki leans in closer. He tries not to fidget nervously.]

I...I don't mind, though! It was fun trying out both of them with you.

[glaciers]

[He has no idea he's doing it, he just wants Midoriya to be in his space all the time.]

It was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to next time.

[inheritance]

I am, too. [He smiles at Todoroki as he says this, then feels inexplicably bashful immediately after.]

We'll just have to share one next time. [It makes the most sense, and they were already sharing today anyway. Nothing weird about that at all!]
