There is no reply for a few solid hours. Katsuki has been chewed out for some choices of words with Todoroki and it made him go back and re-evaluate some things. So several hours after the conversation seems to have concluded, Toge is getting another text.

Clearing something up.
I'm not interested in you in a dating sense.
Don't expect me to ever say it again, but I count you as one of the less annoying friends I've made.
Izuku and I are still down to do the double date thing if you two are.
We can go do a manta board quest or something.

There. That feels sufficiently didn't-mean-to-imply-you-weren't-wanted???

He didn't ask Shoto to do that. He doesn't need his heart protected because he's already accepted the fact he unwanted. Infamously so. No one has to say that, he already knows. It would not be a surprise to him. He hadn't really considered it that way until he gets the text. Not that he felt great about being rejected but now it's got that undertone.

However, if Bakugo is expecting him to speak up on that matter, he's going to be disappointed. Shutting his mouth is what he's best at.

I told Izuku that was fine, it doesn't bother me. Then again I didn't ask Shoto, now you're making me think I should.
I'll tell him to get back to you.

Where do you want to go on our date?

First off, it's not *our* date.
Second, why are you asking *me*?

It is, it's the date we're going on. It's all of ours.

I'm trying to gain a consensus of what people want to do.

I figured something off the Manta Board.
We all enjoy doing quests, right?

Seems the easiest way to include everyone.

Yes, I agree. That's a pass-time for Toge and myself, as well. Or, it was. He's been recovering, I think he's doing well. He keeps mentioning resting is becoming boring, so I think that means he's doing well. We could find somewhere nice to eat in the neutral territories so Toge isn't bothered by Paladins and then do a quest or two. Does Midoriya like the gardens? I know he likes the library.

Right.
If he's still recovering we probably shouldn't overdo it.
Food and a quest.
And what, you wanna end with a walk in the garden?

Hm... When you lay it out like that, maybe not. I think I'd have said yes normally but if he wants to admit it or not, he may be tired after the quest. As you can imagine, sometimes just like us he gets stubborn when he's recovering.

So that it encompasses something meaningful for Izuku, too, please have him choose the place we'll eat. I'm almost certain that Toge and I won't mind where he picks.

Could wait until he's feeling better.
Not like we all need to rush, right?
Let him recover and then we'll go.

Better is subjective here. He's not such what better looks like for Toge right then.

I'll make sure he's alright, I promise. We'll pick something not too heavy. Waiting a week would be alright at least, if that's fine with you? And Izuku, I'm sure you can relay the message.

Yeah yeah.
I'll ask my nerd where he wants to eat.

'My', he types without even stopping to consider the use of the word.

I'll get back to you before the week is out with where we're eating.
You two can pick the quest.

So that they can ensure it's something Toge can handle.

My is noted. It's nice to see.

That's fine. We'll talk again soon, then. I'll talk to Toge later today.

Can I ask you a question before I stop, Bakugo? Now that you're dating Midoriya, you may be able to answer it.

You can ask.
If I answer depends what it is.

Does your day just seem to get better, even if it's a terrible day on patrol, coming home and just seeing him smile? I know Midoriya has always had a very friendly smile, but it's how I feel with Toge and I'm curious if that's something you feel, too. With Midoriya.

Not Toge.
Or maybe Toge how does he know? Toge is cute.

He should have guessed it would be something sappy. He considers refusing to answer. He considers ignoring the text. He considers lying. Each idea annoys him more than the last...

Yeah.
It does make my day better to come home and see him smile.
Especially if I can manage to put it there myself.

It makes Shoto feel better about it, not that it made him sad, but it's nice to know it's something normal.

Agreed.
Thank you, Bakugo. I'll talk to you later.

(("Contined."))

You love Izuku. I love Toge.

There is one quest on the board that allows for them to try on various pieces of jewlery. If I'm honest it's a little selfish, I'd like to see it.

Trying on jewelry?

That sounds so fishy to him...

Is that all there is to it?
Somebody just wants people to try on jewelry?

They'd have to model them and show them off to passersby, I think, but otherwise they have heating and cooling built in? I already have heating and cooling built in, but we could do that. Or we can wait until you're feeling better, too. There are a few here I think we would all enjoy if we wait for you to heal. We could, I'd like to fight beside you three. I miss a good challenge.

With everyone showing up hurt all the time it's not easy to get out and do things. Especially with how much he's been worried about Toge let alone Bakugo now. Roxas got yoinked from health and Ranma had disappeared for a while. Even if it doesn't show, Shoto cares about every single person in their crew.

There is a dangerous creature alert that they'd like some pictures of? It's capable of killing us but it says that it walks slowly. I don't think that would be a problem for any of us really.

Or, we wait. I have decided that until Toge no longer wants to date me, that I will be dating him. So we have time.

So it's a modeling job.

A lot less fishy and he actually knows that business considering his parents.

I don't wanna wait.
I can manage something like that.
I can tackle the other shit when I'm better with whoever is available.

I think so.

Alright, then we'll do that at least.
Toge and I will be going bounty hunting once I'm sure he's not pushing himself. If nothing, you can count me in to go with you. I need out, too.

He hasn't been really out of that house with everyone hurt, missing and otherwise. Even his patrols are shorter (for a dual reason) now that he's barely started doing them again. He's feeling just as cooped up.

I'll let Izuku know.

Yeah. We can hit some of those later this month.
I'm gonna be climbing the walls by the time I can get out and punch things again.

Oh. Is that a good idea to do before you're fully healed? I could set you up something in the yard maybe instead of on a wall? I know you like climbing.

Every. Single. Time. He forgets he needs to be direct with him.

I mean I'm gonna be bored and it's gonna be driving me crazy.
I'm not going to be literally climbing on the walls.
