[Listen, okay, this giant nerd is fondest of reading, and Izuku has this startlingly impressive way of figuring shit out just from his head. If he could fashion a book out of how his brain works, Iida would love to read it.]
[...As such, he claims the notebook and proceeds to completely forget the world around him in favor of reading it. Iida please.]
[These nerdy loser boys. He reads through the notes once, then twice, before offering him his notebook back wordlessly, taking a moment to scribble some notes of his own in the blank notebook he was given. ...Taking notes on Izuku's notes, it looks like.]
We should compare notes when we're through here, if you'd like.
[He should have expected that, really, but he takes a moment to frown at his gifted notebook, self-conscious, before offering it.]
[Really, his handwriting isn't awful, but it's definitely less Specifically Very Neat than how he normally writes. It looks somewhat less like a typewriter, but is still pretty legible... Though it's probably about half-finished thoughts, most of the time. Definitely shorthand.]
...I mean, in the end I'm the only one that has to be able to read it, so it's probably fine. [Iida it's entirely fine, would you stop.]
[He opens his mouth and for the first time probably in the history of ever, says nothing. Sheepish, he looks between the notebook and Izuku a few times, and folds his hands in his lap.]
Well, it. Certainly could be moreso...? [YOU ARE NOT A TYPEWRITER.]
[He glances up, startled, and realizes how positively gooey he must look. Listen, Tensei is his favorite thing, Tensei is to Tenya as All Might is to Izuku, etcetera. He has the grace to look embarrassed, at least.]
--Oh! No, certainly not, it was more of teasing than anything else. I-- it's a bit strange to explain, maybe.
[Well now he's just really embarrassed. In a good way, he thinks, maybe? He twists his pen idly between his fingers and squirms, making a face at his notebook.]
That's... very you, Midoriya-kun. Tensei is a... bit atypical of a sibling, perhaps? He is my only brother so I suppose I don't have a reference point, but I think my closeness to him is strange given he is fifteen years older than me. [He laughs, quietly, nudging his glasses back to the bridge of his nose.] Perhaps that's why I am so terrible at acting my age? But given our family has always been in heroics, Tensei tended to be who I was able to spend the most time around, with as busy as everyone was.
I mean...I'm an only child, so I don't think I know much either in terms of reference points. I don't think it's strange to be close to someone fifteen years older than you, though. I mean, I...I like to think I'm...maybe close to All Might...
[This precious shrub. Tenya selects one of his books and stretches his arm across the space between their chairs, gently popping him on the head with it.]
I will be sure you introduce you to him when the opportunity arises. And your closeness with All Might is not something you should worry about, I think-- it's quite obvious he cares for you greatly.

[ He can pause notetaking to hand the journal over to Iida...
Deku's notes are pretty well organized, so. ]

I'd love to! I think a review session always makes things stick in your mind a little better.

[He nods, agreeing, and reaches over to claim one of the books in his stack.]
You'll have to excuse my penmanship-- I don't write near as neatly when I'm taking notes.

Mmn, I suppose.

Really, Iida-kun! This is much neater than I could write without trying...

Not as much anymore, but it was his favorite method of tormenting me as a child.
