During Penelope's race through the safe zone, Izuku pulled her reins, forcing her to stop her hooves scraping the ground, Shigaraki gasped for breath and fell off the horse, "where the fuck. . . did you learn to ride a horse. . .?" he gasped, looking at Izuku, who wore a smug look

"I never did"Izukujoked, getting off Penelope, "elves don't need horses to get around, so we're not taught how to ride" he explained as he grabbed Shigaraki's bag, Izuku dropped the bag on Shigaraki's chest, Shigaraki playfully groaned and stuck his long tongue out at the elf

Surprised at this, Izuku blushed, not expecting the demon's tongue to be that long, Izuku quickly looked away, trying to cover up his flustered face, Shigaraki chuckled and winked at Izuku before putting his bag on his shoulder and walking away

As the horse was tied to a post in the inn while Shigaraki paid for a room with only one bed, Izuku pulled on the demon's pointed ears to tell him not to book a single room, leading Shigaraki to have to change rooms

Shigaraki rubbed his now red pointed ear as he mumbled, "I was prepared to sleep on the floor if you weren't comfortable with it" but Izuku just rolled his eyes and entered the simple room, sitting on a random bed and letting Shigaraki lay on the other

"I'm not letting you sleep on the floor, but I'm not letting you sleep with me either" Izuku stated, kicking off his boots and falling back into the covers with a grunt, Shigaraki laughed at this and turned on his side to look at Izuku

Feeling his eyes on him, Izuku turned to Shigaraki, Shigaraki's gaze was intense, his lips quirked into a small smirk, as if he was challenging him, Izuku felt his heart race as he realized that Shigaraki was baiting him, he took a deep breath and looked away while saying, "you're not going to make me kiss you by baiting me"

Shigaraki laughed, still not taking his eyes off the elf, "worth a shot" he said jokingly with a smug smile, but that smile quickly disappeared as Izuku turned back with a curious look, catching Shigaraki off guard

"Uh- I-Izu-"

"Shigaraki. . . why are you obsessed with me?"
