Then bring Earphones with you.

[You're not getting out of this. You can't be trusted to shop for dress clothes by yourself.]

[defendure]

I will! I mean, I kind of like the idea of you dressing me up, but - um -

[ Hm. He's kinda torn? If he goes that way he's guaranteed to be in something Katsuki can tolerate, and they get to shop together. But if he doesn't, maybe he can actually kinda impress Katsuki the day of?

...no, that's probably not gonna happen. ]

Um, I guess it's fine either way, it doesn't really matter.

[blastedass]

"but - um"?

[Don't say you kinda like something and then backtrack almost instantly! Katsuki rolls his head to the side and scowls at him from his bed. Waiting.]

Do you want to or not?

[defendure]

[ Okay but it's not a simple answer! ]

I don't know. Wouldn't that make it even less special when we go to dinner?

[blastedass]

It's a dinner for charity. It's not a romantic getaway. You ever been to a social dinner before?

[Wait, he can answer that himself.]

[defendure]

Just the group dinners at the Heights. No one invited me to anything before then or accepted my invitations.

[ If he sounds sad, it's not even about that. He was used to that part already and even though it was 90% Katsuki's fault...it's not even meant as an attack.

It really is just a dinner for charity, and there's nothing special about it. ]

Um, I already knew it wasn't a romantic getaway. I'm not...good dating material for anyone, that wasn't what I meant.

[blastedass]

Deku, if you wanna go on a fucking date, then don't waste it on a damn social dinner.

[Surrounded by a bunch of people, a business angle on the whole event, food you can't even order outside of three options. It's not date material.

Of course it's not a special thing! Not "special" in the date version.]

I'd rather go somewhere else with you.

[defendure]

I-I thought the booths would be fun. There's some kinda face painting one even...

[ But also he hasn't quite grasped any of what Katsuki just said intellectually just yet because his brain is making unhelpful grinding noises. ]

[blastedass]

[Can he mentally facepalm because the 4th most intelligent kid in class can be so fucking stupid??]

That's not even on the same day. But yeah, I was planning on going just to look.

[defendure]

No, um, I know, but I figured you'd only go to one thing and probably wouldn't like any of the booths I was interested in.

[ He does have memories of going to a festival together ages ago - or rather, in a group. ]

I have to kind of ration it...

[blastedass]

Do you even know what booths are gonna fucking be there?

[They'll get the flyer upon arrival. Unless someone's been sneaking peeks.]

Ration what? Booths?

[defendure]

Your tolerance for spending time with me...and I know a few people running booths, so I wanted to visit those ones.

[ He figured a lot of food, besides the ones he knows. ]

[blastedass]

You don't have to leave with me if I go home early.

Just don't take thirty minutes per booth.

[defendure]

N-no, I know, that's not really...

[ He drags his hands down his face. ]

I just get the impression that living together takes up a lot of the time you're willing to give to me, and I don't want to impose.

[blastedass]

Living with you's not the same as spending time with you. I lived with you in the Heights too, dumbass.

[There's a reason he deliberately put their rooms on different floors. And why he doesn't always eat meals with him. He tries to keep certain areas and parts of their lives separate from each other for this exact reason.]

I'll tell you when I want my fucking space. Never've had a problem with that.

[defendure]

[ He falls silent again, clearly flummoxed or at least flustered to a complete standstill for a minute.

Then two. Then: ]

You'd go on a date with me? [ It's one of those things he kinda wants to do sober but has only ever managed to do not. ]

[blastedass]

[Wait-- where the fuck did this come from? They were just talking about living together and suddenly this comes out of his mouth?

He didn't say--

Oh right, he did say. Uh... fuck... Katsuki's turn to fall into a silent stupor for a few seconds. Gotta be the sleeping meds. Yeah, totally...]

S'what I said.

[defendure]

[ If he pretended to fall asleep Izuku totally wouldn't bother him, you know. An easy out.

He wants to ask what KIND of date and WHY and a lot of other things but Katsuki's liable to get more irritated the more Izuku clarifies.

Besides, he's okay with any sort. ]

Then - where to?

[blastedass]

Why don't we do that after the festival and dinner.

[Save himself for some more time to think about what he just signed up for.]

[defendure]

[ At least Izuku isn't giving Katsuki or the ceiling sad looks any more? Just bubbly and confused. ]

Okay!! [ Don't take medicine around Izuku anymore, apparently. ]

[blastedass]

[Stupid sad Deku look should be considered a weapon. Most people would fall for it. Why the fuck does he only bring that out against Katsuki?!]

So fucking happy...

[Mutter grumble, yeah next time he'll hospital alone.]

[defendure]

We can go shopping together for the gala then...

[ He's a little sleepy, too. Seems in a way better mood now than originally, though.

So there's that. Izuku's not even aware the sad eyes were doing anything effective. ]

[blastedass]

"Then"? What, you weren't gonna go unless I agreed to a date or something?

[defendure]

N-no, but...I can dress up on my own for a date, right? But since it's not a date it's okay if you pick for me.

[ Oh my god let him live ]

[blastedass]

[The logic is not working in his head. Wut?]

You're gonna pick out something banana yellow or plaid or something, aren't you...
