Hands, put your empty hands in mine

[inheritance]

[It's only been a month since he and Mei opened up their own business, a month since graduating, and yet, the orders are already starting to pile up. Izuku supposes, he shouldn't be so surprised, with the reputation Mei built up for herself while they were in UA. Even in a Support Course as rigorous as their high school's, Mei quickly proved herself to be one of the best and brightest.

And then there's him. While Izuku knows he's no slouch when it comes to analyzing a hero's weaknesses and strengths, he also knows that he'd gotten lucky when he found a business partner and friend in Mei. Shaking his head, Izuku throws himself into his work to dispel those thoughts. Things had turned out alright in the end; that's what actually matters.]

Hooooold on, I'll be right with you. [Izuku calls, distracted, when he hears the front door open. A few more strokes of his pencil and--done! Finished with another design sketch, Izuku sets his notebook aside and stands up, looking up at them for the first time. He pauses, not even managing to get a greeting out.] ...Todoroki-kun?

[Huh, he likes it better when Midoriya is like this.]

I know you won't. [Because Shouto'll be there to chaperone him. Besides, Shouto's office isn't going to see that much traffic when he's off duty.]

[That's a lot of faith to be putting into someone you haven't known for a while, Todoroki!

After they walk a bit longer, Izuku perks up visibly.] Oh, there's the office. Which way's the restaurant?

[Like he's going to leave Midoriya's side when they're in his office.]

It's just a block to the left. There's usually a few pro heroes from the office there.
