WHO: Yuji and Raidou
WHAT: Apparently... They're going on a date...
WHERE: In the town, baby
WHEN: After the Synder mingle
WARNINGS: N/A

[ Yuji hadn't gone into the mingle thinking it was actually for dating.

His view of it had been a way to make friends, that throwing them a heart was just saying that he wanted to talk, but now... Now he's accidentally found himself going out with Raidou? It's not as if the idea upsets him, since he thinks Raidou is a good guy, and they really do get along with one another, but he's never dated anyone before. No one's ever been interested! So he doesn't really know what he's supposed to do, a little nervous and impossibly sheepish.

He's glad he decided to get the style upgrade, so at least he looks a little more put together for the date that might not end up being a date. If it turns into two friends hanging out, that's fine too, but he wishes a little bit that they'd been able to make a decision about it.

Hovering awkwardly in the common room, Yuji shifts from one foot to the other. There must be somewhere to go see a film in the city, but he hadn't managed to track anything specific down, so he really hopes Raidou doesn't mind watching something together in his room...

He's so unprepared, huh... ]

It's been a long time since I'd done it before I arrived here. I'm glad I decided to give it another try.

[He pulls the brim of his hat down a bit in reaction to the compliment, though.]

Thanks... I've been coming here a lot since we arrived. Ah, I owe Bakugo a second race. He wasn't too happy that I won our first one.

You beat him? I bet he was furious! I can see him exploding about it.

[ Yuji can admit to liking to tease Bakugo just a little bit, to see if he'll pop, so... Sipping his hot chocolate, he reaches out, almost idly, to try and take Raidou's hand. Sly, subtle, and painfully obvious. ]

You looked cool.

[He grins a little. Even Raidou can't help but tease that guy too.]

He did. That's why we have to do another one now.

[Raidou let's his hand be taken, wrapping his fingers around Yuji's, gave reddening even more. He doesn't know what to do with compliments.]

A-Ah, did I? Thanks...

[He's trying, though.]

You did! I was impressed.

[ Woah, they're holding hands... It feels good, and Yuji squeezes - gently, mindful of his strength. ]

I hope you can teach me more in the future.

You did pretty good out there.

[Yuji was pretty athletic too though, so Raidou figured this would be a good thing to try with him.

Don't worry, he's tougher than he looks.]

I'd be happy to come back again before it closes for the spring, if you like. I suppose I'll have to find something else to do once the warm weather arrives.

Yeah? I guess it was something I could get good at if I tried.

[ Because he gets good at most sport related things with a bit of practice. He just doesn't get that kind of downtime these days. ]

We could have a picnic?

I bet you could. I'll be racing you next.

[Honestly he'd love that. Same with the suggestion of a picnic, too. He could make something nice for that...]

Yeah? That'd be great. Once spring gets here, I'd like to venture out of the city a little. I don't know if there is much out there, but I'd like to find out. Maybe we could find a nice spot out there.

The last one we had was nice. Maybe I can make the food next time.

[ Yuji turns to look at him, and he just looks... Fond. Really fond. ]

I'd like to go and see. I've explored a bit around the city, but there must be something cool outside, too.

Sure. I'd love to see what you'd make.

[Raidou looks much the same at Yuji, his expression warms, in that subtle Raidou way. The idea of spending more time with Yuji brightens those cold gray eyes.]

That's what I was wondering. Maybe there's not much out there, but whatever it is, I'd like to find out. I think it'd be fun either way.

[He'll be pretty happy to find all those cat colours out there, that's for sure.]

Yeah! It could be an adventure! I can pack us some food, and we can just go. I don't think they'd care too much as long as we came back?

[ He hums, thoughtful, absently squeezing Raidou's hand and leaning a little closer. Invading personal space is second nature to Yuji now. ]

And another date for us.

I wonder. I suppose they'd just send us annoying messages if we're gone too long.

[As LILITH does regarding a lot of other things.

Raidou's's getting used to that space invasion at this point. It's not even an invasion, it's welcome. He beams at Yuji.]

Wonderful. I can't wait.

They'd do that anyway, so it's whatever.

[ The smile makes Yuji's heart feel like it's fluttering for a moment, and he almost stops still in the middle of the street, just... Looking at Raidou.

How often does he see him smile like this? It's... ]

Wow.

[A smile like that is a rarity on Raidou, but it's been happening a little more often lately. Things have been rough since he's arrived, and until recently, he didn't have much to smile about.

Raidou only blinks at him curiously.]

Johei, you just...

[ He covers his face with his free hand, glancing away. ]

You looked really cute just now.

[Oh. He's not even sure what to say. He's so unprepared for any of this.]

I, ah... I see.

[Nailed it.

Should he return the compliment? Yuji always looks cute though. Especially when he looks at Raidou with those earnest expressions, genuine interest and excitement on his face... Expressions Raidou has a hard time matching, but appreciates greatly.

He just doesn't know how to voice this without sounding like, well, himself. Instead, his hand squeezes Yuji's back.]

[ Yuji isn’t the sort of guy that needs to hear a compliment back, but he can see how Raidou reacts and it’s even more endearing. He looks around until he spots a quiet side street, tugging the other boy down until it seems like they’re mostly alone.

He’s blushing, but he’s always painfully honest, so- ]

Can I kiss you again?

[Raidou is surprised by this move, his heart racing as he's tugged along. He almost looks overwhelmed at the question. Here, nearly in public? What if someone saw them... No one would probably care, but it's tough feeling for a proper 1920s gentleman to shake.

At the same time, he really, really does want to kiss Yuji again. After what seems like a much longer time than it actually was, Raidou nods; almost imperceptibly at first, but with more conviction after a moment.]

[ Yuji is starting to learn more about Raidou, starting to get him more, and he’s picking up on things here and there. It is still out in the open, despite the ducking for cover, and he hesitates for a moment. Not because he doesn’t want the kiss, but…

Reaching up, he goes for Raidou’s hat and, if he can get away with it, he’ll lift it up so it blocks both of their faces from anyone’s gaze before he leans in to steal a kiss, maybe a little bit longer than an innocent peck. ]

[Only Yuji would get away with touching that hat. Besides, in the end it's a considerate move.

Raidou will gladly let that kiss go on, and he clutches the upper arm of Yuji's jacket. When it breaks, he has an almost dreamy look on his face, and he debates going for another. His eyes shift to the hat, however, and he smiles, an amused noise escaping him. One of those Raidou versions of a laugh.]

Thank you.

It's okay.

[ Yuji hasn't pulled away yet, not even close, nuzzling his nose against Raidou's before he kisses him again. It's nice, really nice, and he leaves another kiss on the boy's cheek before he actually moves back properly. ]

It feels good to kiss you like that.

Yeah... [Raidou gives him a fond smile, a hand reaching up to trace a finger along Yuji's jawline. Just a few months ago, he never thought anything like this could ever happen for him. That anyone would ever say something like that to him. It seems to never stop being scary and amazing all at once.]

It's great. I... I hope there will be more to come.

[He swallows nervously; a pretty bold declaration for a guy like Mr. Kuzunoha here.]

Yeah?

[ There’s no hesitation; Yuji tilts into the touch, breathing out softly. This kind of honesty is new to him as well, especially since he’s not all that good at saying what he wants. This still feels like something he’s not allowed to have, somehow, like he doesn’t deserve it? But…

He smiles, resting his forehead on Raidou’s. ]

Whenever you want.

[Raidou is much the same, his mind too often slipping back to things at home. How hard it was for him to rest knowing what could be going on there because he was absent, because he failed. Why should he get to enjoy himself when the others are probably suffering?

Thoughts like that tug at the edge of his smile. Before it disappears entirely, Raidou's hand slide down from his jaw to the back of his neck to rest there gently for a moment, before pulling him in for a light kiss.]

Good.

[ Yuji nuzzles their noses together again before he lifts the hat to put it back on Raidou's head, touching his cheek briefly. ]

Do you want to keep going? If there's somewhere else you want to go today.

[ They could keep kissing, too, he's not opposed. ]

[That certainly is tempting... Yuji can see him thinking it all over for a second. There's a part of him that's telling him time to get back to the base to study or to do some training...

There's time for that later. Who needs sleep, right? Raidou takes his hand, threading his fingers with Yuji's.]

Let's just keep walking. We... don't really have anywhere to be, yeah?
