Shoto's my best friend , in fact . He's like a brother to me.

So erase that image from out of my mind. Forget these thoughts ! Done and done !

There , silly Haru-nii making me think about the stuff.

"Neose ?" a familiar voice said.

I looked to see who it is. "Shoto !?" I was surprised to see him here.

Wait , if Shoto is here then that means. He visited his mother ...

"I never expected you to be here" I  then stopped talking. "S-sorry , it came out the wrong way"

"Don't be" He paused. "Let's take a walk"

"Sure"

We then left the hospital and went to a public park.

"I'm happy to see you are finally visiting your mother" I said to him.

"Right , it feels . Strange seeing her again" he said. "I thought she would hate me for not visiting her for so long and for what dad did to her but... She wept tears of joy seeing me again"

I looked at Shoto and his mouth formed a small smile. Its so cute.

"I'm happy to hear that" I said.

"Its because of you and Midoriya. Thanks Neose" He then looked at me with his warm eyes.

Shoto ... Its what friends do...

"Hey , mama aren't they from the sporys festival !?" A child called out.

"Yeah , hey its Todoroki and Satori !" Another by stander said.

"Are they dating ?"

"Let's ask for an autograph !!!"

"Uh , Shoto... You know I don't do well with fans surrounding me in public places" I said as I grabbed onto his arm tightly.

"Right , let me handle this and after we'll find somewhere more private" Shoto reassured me.

As we were surrounded by a crowd , I couldn't help but hide behind Shoto. I guess now I'm not hiding from them because I'm Peppy Poppoyo but because I'm Neose Satori , a hero in training.

Shoto was the one who did all the talking. Some asked for an autograph and there where others who took a picture of us.

After that , we were exhausted. We tried finding a place to hang peaceful but people kept coming to us.

"How about we go to my place and have some tea , we'd have better privacy there" I said and Shoto agreed.

We then headed to my apartment. As we entered , Shoto just sat quietly on the sofa while I prepared some tea.

"Here , green tea" I offered to him.

"Thanks" he then took a sip.

It was quiet. We had nothing to say to each other.

"I've never been to your place before" Shoto started to speak. "It must be lonely living alone"

"Its alright , when you get used to it... I've learned to live independently. And , Granny Lei , my neighbor next door would always accompany me at times" I reassured him.

"You don't have to worry" I added.

He then looks at me.

"Is something wrong ?" I asked.

"Nothing" he said. He continued looking at me. I started feeling uncomfortable.

"You look much better without your face mask and if you don't tie you hair" he said.

"Eh ?"

I don't know why but my heart suddenly beated faster upon hearing those words.

"Forget , what I said" Shoto then looked away. "Its getting late , Fuyumi might start to worry" he then stood up.

"Thanks for your hospitality" He said then prepared himself to leave.

"Shoto ..." I then stood up and opened the door for him.

"See you at school Neose" he then left.

That was strange of Shoto . He's leaving so soon ... Did something come up ? He acted weird.

Also ,

You look much better without your face mask and if you don't tie you hair

Is he implying that I look much better like this. I looked at my current appearance in the mirror.

Hair flowing down and no face mask.

Only my prescripted glasses.

Thinking about it , Shoto never talks about my appearance... What's gotten into him ?
