[Katsuki's fine with this. He'll linger by the bike to check on some things while Izuku does a brain dump. It's not like he hasn't done the same while learning about motorcycles in the garages. Katsuki pulls a length of rubber-covered cable from the back compartment and starts to loop it through the wheels and body of his bike.There's a lock on either end that joins together via a combination.]

[ That gives him time to write, then. Ideally he'd be able to then review the material immediately, but they did have other plans so he'll need to skip that step for the time being. ]

[Katsuki's only gonna let him write it down. He won't bother him until he notes Izuku's pen finished moving. And then he'll lean over his shoulder.]

Get it all down, nerd?

[ Izuku jolts and steps away, shutting the notebook. ]

Oh, um, yeah! Sorry....it'd work better if we did another round right now, but.

How about one better and spend some time on it tomorrow? I can take you to a parking lot and let you test drive and take notes for an hour or two.

[Sure, they could do it now, but he'd already threaded and locked the bike up, and they came for the arcade. They can focus on the motorcycle lessons tomorrow.]

Oh, um, I couldn't ask you to spend the day with me twice in a row. But next time you wanna go out, sure.

[ They live together and all, but Izuku does try not to monopolize Katsuki's time when possible. Largely because he has the idea that he irritates his boyfriend in large doses sometimes. ]

I should get some books and things anyway.

One, you could. And two, you didn't ask; I offered.

[Katsuki ruffles Izuku's hair to help get some helmet hair back to normal fluff. He's aware Izuku does better with repetition, so keeping today's familiarity fresh in his head by working on it tomorrow is best for him.

No one else is monopolizing his time right now, and best they get shit in early before the event inevitably comes crashing down on them.

Honestly, Izuku had a really good idea about that, so Katsuki might start planning some of his and Izuku's stuff towards earlier month, when they can be together without interruption.]

I have some from when I was learning. They're in my study.

[ Does Katsuki call his bedroom his study? He banned Izuku from having a study on his floor with the extra room... ]

Well, I know, I just uh - you're my favorite person to spend time with but I know that might not be true the other way around sometimes? I don't want you to get bored or annoyed.

[Nah, each of them has his own study on their own floor, beside their bedrooms. They agreed to it on their initial blueprint designs for Franky. The guest bedroom was on Izuku's floor, with the third room on Katsuki's floor being a extra space. Until they decided to make it a guest room as well. (And then proceed to have chocolate sex in it.) If Izuku wants or needs a second study, they could possibly convert the original 2nd floor guest into a study?]

You've never bored me here. [Annoyed him? A fuckton. Goes without saying. And he knows he's annoyed Izuku enough to storm off or leave Katsuki behind, even if Izuku's a million times more polite about it.] And I wouldn't be dating someone who isn't my favorite.

[ He kind of wanted to make that bedroom on his floor into a library sometimes...but mostly he doesn't mind about the rooms. He does find he prefers it when it's just them in the house; he can worry less about how he acts. ]

Oh. Really?

[They honestly don't have a lot of house guests, so it's usually fine. Even if the cat gets to watch them fuck every now and then. The cat watching. Not the fucking. That's way more than every now and then.

Could convert the bed into a hideaway bed, the kind that looks like a closet (or even a functional bookshelf), but then pulls down into a bed. So it serves as a guest room and a library study. An idea to pitch.]

I'm a perfectionist, Deku. I wouldn't date you if I liked someone or something else more.

[ He'd probably like that. He kind of wants display cases for any All Might merch that comes through but when they'd been planning a merch room had not been approved. ]

No, um, you've just never said I'm your favorite anything before really?

[Would you like to sleep on the 3rd floor guest room or the All Might Display Library? Katsuki would support this idea. If also because a hideaway bed would make his hidden inner child still go "cool" at it.]

Now you know.

[Probably not a good time to remind Izuku he was always Katsuki's favorite punching bag... Katsuki's ashamed of himself.]

[ Katsuki never said Izuku was his favorite punching bag, even if maybe it could have been inferred. It's not the kind of thing he wonders about now. He'd like to be Katsuki's favorite other things. Person to hang out with, friend, fuck, whatever.

It's hard to tell; recently he's gotten more compliments but Katsuki doesn't really vocalize that sort of thing and it leaves Izuku wondering. ]

I guess so...we should probably head in.

[There's A LOT Katsuki thinks and expects other people should infer from his actions and limited words. But slowly learning to break that habit and say things more. Even if it's usually just around Izuku cause other people haven't earned that right. But is his favorite in a lot of things. From sparring partner to fuck to friend to study partner.

All Might still takes top spot for favorite Hero though.]

Yeah. Helmet. [And stashes the two in one of the bike's collapsible side compartments.] Let's go.

[The arcade seems really lively today, probably due to the lazy storm rolling in. Just rain, no thunder or lightning.]

[ Considering All Might is still Izuku's favorite hero, that's probably okay. It would be hard to topple the man, retired or not.

Izuku heads in, looking around to try to figure out where he wants to start...

Maybe one of the fighting games? ]

[Once Dynamight goes Pro, he'll probably "bug" Deku about favorite Heroes (since beating out All Might in Izuku's mind would count as one area he can surpass his idol in, right?), but stubbornly hold All Might as his favorite as well.

Katsuki frowns at the people inside. Damn, there's a lot... Not extremely crowded, but... There might be some elbow bumping.]

We should check on your slime first. See if it's still here and how much it is.

[ Unfortunately that's one fight Katsuki may never win... ]

It was 3000 when I checked.

[ Which was only like two weeks ago. ]

[He'll keep powering forward, aiming for it, but not as pissed about losing IF he does. Hmph.]

Might've changed it.

[After all, if no one could win it, they might opt to lower the price so it doesn't clog inventory.

But nope, thar she blows. 3000 tickets~]

Um, well, if there's anything else you want you should find it now so we know how much of your tickets we can actually use.

[ You know, in case Katsuki doesn't want to go all in. ]

[Katsuki's already scanning over prizes, but nothing really catches his eye for himself. One or two things Izuku would probably like? ... No, they're aiming for the grand prize. The small fry can wait until after they claim what they set out for.

No distractions!]

I'm all in. Let's win a fucking slime and blow everyone else away in envy!

Do you wanna do laser tag first or arcade games then?

[ They can earn tickets from either technically. ]

Arcade games. There's no tickets for laser tag.

[If they win it, then they can put it on hold so no one else has a chance to snag it from them while they're doing something else.]

Can't you earn tickets if you win there?

[ He's not sure, but he's heading to the arcade games first anyway. ]

No, cause it'd be too easy for a group of friends to come in and fuck it up.

[Throwing the game to make sure their other friends got lots of tickets. Doing something stupid with the targets and the guns for the same reason. Far less controlled than the arcade cabinets and games.

Good thing there are a ton of games in here. Katsuki drifts over to some of the fighters. Wanna use their cards to directly dump in the credits, or go old fashioned and get tokens from the machine?]
