[...because they're cute and just in case we want something light in contrast to writing prose uwu]

On a second thought, DO NOT come home early. Take your time! It's definitely fine!!

The dessert they served me here reminded me of you!
But now I do feel bad about eating it.

A child's honestly can be quite brutal, isn't it...

[ Please. As if he would even pay attention to how quickly she replies. Although a part of him finds amusement with how she does respond.

Any "I love you's" are equally felt. Actually saying them, however, isn't entirely something that Shouto knows how to do yet. (Even though it's plain and simple.) Particularly via texting. Still, he knows he would want to reply with the same.

(Neither of them should think too hard on it.) ]

Not just from now on, but I have been, before that. And I'll continue to.

[ After a measure of time: ]

I wonder if we would be allowed to go off campus some time so we could go out to eat.

[ They've done so a couple of times already. It wouldn't be too much to request again, would it. . .? ]

[yaoyoroshka]

[She's part-charmed, part-amused at this (most likely) unintended smoothness on his part. Case in point: Oh? Is she being indirectly asked out on a date? Cute...]

It should be possible, so long as we ask permission beforehand and be back before curfew. We never did get in trouble for the other times.

Hmm. Perhaps you can also start wondering where you'd like us to go?

[thermoregulate]

That's true.

[ Although that's a good question. At least he's improved quite a lot from when they first began seeing one another, where - if Momo didn't firmly put her foot down - Shouto (very seriously) would near always choose somewhere that served cold soba.

Let's see. . . ]

I wouldn't mind something new, actually.

[yaoyoroshka]

Variety does make things more exciting!

[Their usual cold soba places are very much appreciated, though, rest assured.]

Perhaps a place both of us haven't been to before, or an activity that we don't have much prior idea about.

[This potential date may just turn into a field trip...?]

[thermoregulate]

Oh, um.

[ At one point in his life basically anything could fill this space. ]

I read about this place where you go and pick out a piece of pottery or something to paint.

[ Consider these to be separate replies as he thinks. ]

Something active? I've never been bowling before, or miniature golf. . .

Maybe a class of some kind, like cooking.

[ A different cat café could be fun, knowing them. ]

. . . Do you have any ideas?

[yaoyoroshka]

[There's definitely a bright smile on her face as she sees each suggestion pop up on their chat.]

Such excellent ideas! We should do all of them!

[That's... probably a tall order, but she's quite in her overly excited mode to discern at the moment. Please pull her back to reality.]

I'd love to try painting, whether on pottery or canvas. It would be nice to work on something you can take home with you after, I think. Cooking will also be a good skill to learn! So we can make meals for everyone back in the dorms, too.

I've never tried miniature golf nor bowling before, but I can learn! If we're looking for an active sport, there's also polo but I'm not sure where we can get the horses...

Also! Have you been to an arcade before? I heard it's a place where you can train your skills and have fun at the same time!

[Who told her that, Sero or Kaminari probably.]

[thermoregulate]

[ She's too cute. ]

That would be too much, but I agree. We can make a list to plan ahead.

[ Polo isn't even near to being on the same level of mini golf and bowling. The suggestion amuses him a bit. ]

An arcade? Yeah, I have a couple of times, with Midoriya and the others. It really is fun, and there's a lot of variety. I think you'd enjoy yourself.

[yaoyoroshka]

[Planning ahead. She likes the sound of that a lot. It means having much more dates to look forward to in the future.]

Understood. I'll have a scheduled drawn up by tomorrow for you to review!

[...and also because planning appeals to Momo "I like everything organized" Yaoyorozu.]

Though I suppose if you've been to the arcade before, that might be easier for us to arrange? And it shouldn't tire us out as much as playing a sport, so perhaps we can relax after at a cat café...

[For while they want to try out new things, cat cafés transcend everything.]

[thermoregulate]

. . . You don't need to treat it like a homework assignment or mission plan, you know.

[ Teasing, of course. ♥ ]

An arcade and cat café would be perfect.

[yaoyoroshka]

But if I don't plan out things, someone might subconsciously end up steering us again to a soba restaurant.

[All's fair in love and teasing. ♥]

Would this weekend be acceptable, then? [Ah–] After you've visited your mother, of course. I can go ahead in the meantime. Scope out which arcades aren't so crowded?

[Momo isn't one to pry over the details of said visits (and it does feel... improper to do so, considering they've only just started going out), but she's can at least be mindful of his personal routines.]

[thermoregulate]

I can't help it. My love for soba is a core part of who I am.

[ But is he just joking this time? Hm. ]

Sure. That would work. I'll take care of asking permission to go off-campus.

[yaoyoroshka]

['Core part of who I am'... Why is she dating a cute dork......]

Oh? Careful now. With wording like that, I might get jealous.

[As for getting the permission, she's quite relieved he volunteered for it.]

I appreciate it. I get nervous asking for it sometimes.

[thermoregulate]

Don't worry. That kind of love is different compared to how I feel about you.

[ He knows she's only playing, but. :) ]

You do?

[yaoyoroshka]

[Pfft. Way to turn the tables. It's his win. For now.]

Oh? Then I'm relieved. I'm glad we can co-exist in your heart.

Well. They ask for the reason, don't they? And you have to say who you're with and what you're going to be doing outside... Isn't that a bit nerve-wracking?

[Of course she could just leave it at 'shopping' or something similarly vague, but she's too honest to not state the full reason.]

[thermoregulate]

They do, yeah. I know they also trust us enough by now that we don't need to go into too much detail.

[ Their relationship is more or less known about by this point. Expressing physical affection isn't something that others are privy to, but there are other signs.

Either way, speaking with Aizawa is usually the least difficult. ]

I can do so after class tomorrow. :)
