[All Might would likely protest and then take the couch. Or something.]

That plush slime's gonna get the same treatment?

I'll snuggle with it unless you happen to be offering.

[ When Katsuki isn't offering, Izuku will hang with his giant pillow. ]

Deal.

[No promises Katsuki won't be a dick and come in to see Izuku snuggling the slime and suddenly decide he actually wants some Deku time...

Jealous over a plush.]

[ Izuku mostly cuddles with the cat these days but he does like to sleep curled up with something warm. ]

Let's win it, then!

[Katsuki usually sleeps with Izuku these days, spending far more time in the other boy's bed than his own. Toshiko usually has to put up with the blonde's sometimes draping nature, or just curl up in a chest and take her snooze there.]

Damn right!

[ Toshiko enjoys sleeping either on Katsuki's chest or curled against Izuku's side...or snuggled on a pillow. She does like sleeping in the bay window sometimes too?

She would probably sleep ON the slime plush. Izuku tends to sleep on his side so he's harder to sleep on sometimes. ]

If we get any extra maybe you can get something too?

[Katsuki mostly doesn't want to risk pinning her between them when he puts his arm over Izuku. Or vice versa. Cat reflexes are good, but sometimes they can be fast. He doesn't mind her sleeping on his chest though. It's kinda nice.

Look, almost anyone likes sleeping in Izuku's bay window. Katsuki's had some mind to put one in his own, but as more or less resigned himself to admitting Izuku had the better idea. Oh well.

So long as she doesn't claw the giant slime. That's the only main problem, since it's not something they can easily replace.]

There wasn't anything I saw I wanted in the prizes, but I'm gonna start saving up again.

[ Katsuki was too busy mocking Izuku for the bay window to realize it was a good idea. Something about being a Victorian lady or such?

Since Toshiko hasn't ruined any of Izuku's other stuffed things, it's probably fine.

...She had issues controlling herself around tassles, but that isn't an issue here.

Izuku keeps up memorizing his half of the board, trying to nail as many as he can each time. ]

[Most definitely about being a Victorian lady. Just goes to show that Katsuki can be wrong about a lot of things despite plunging forward thinking he's right.

(He'd be willing to renovate his bedroom window is Franky was here, but since the cyborg's not... oh well.) It gives him more reason to hang in Izuku's room.

So far no one's got tassel things, like pillows or bed post curtains.

The board "reads" their success and the tiles start to become less predictable, the time to memorize less forgiving, and there are more movements between initial start and the ending board.

It'll be about round 15 that Katsuki suggests they back off. The board's evened up to their skill and continuing to push it will start to result in the game winning more than them.

But they made close to 500 tickets?]

[ Loose string or dangly objects in all forms quake in fear.

So do abandoned slippers. ]

We only have a few hundred to go...which game are you feeling next?

[At least it means they don't have any threads hanging off their clothes.

Curtains might be fucked though. Slippers are definitely fucked. Katsuki bought a bunch of cheap ones to lie around the house in hopes of avoiding the death of their actual good ones...]

I picked the last one. You're turn.

[ At least she's very cuddly to make up for her crimes. And sometimes she catches spiders? ]

The dancing one then!

[So long as they're not dangerous spiders. Katsuki doesn't usually let spiders have a chance to find a long-term home in the house... Same with dust bunnies.]

The eight direction one, right?

Yeah! We can do it on co op mode, but...I'd like to do a few versus too.

[ Toshiko likes to "help" Katsuki sweep. ...It's not helpful. ]

You got it. Don't give me a bad time, handsome.

[If she wants to hitch a ride on the Big Mop then she's welcome to go sliding along with him.]

[ That sounds like Katsuki playing with the kitten...

Izuku shoots him a startled smile. ]

How would I even do that? You like being competitive.

[No, that's called doing work/chores and letting her get in on it without interrupting him. It's a mutual compromise. Hmph.]

Then give me everything you got.

[There's already a decent crowd in front of the dancing machines. Seems like some kind of tourney is starting to gear up.]

[ Does he sometimes jiggle the mop more to give her more fun? ]

Well, of course! We did make a bet after all.

[Depends on if she's riding atop it or clinging to the edge and getting dragged along behind it.]

And I'm not gonna fucking lose it.

Neither am I! Getting to ask for something is pretty huge.

[ Though Katsuki is the better dancer so this may be his advantage. ]

No shit. That's why I'm gonna claim it!

[Technically the "dancing" part is for show; the ability to match feet to arrow via timing is the real key.]

Looks like we have to wait a few minutes at least...

[ But he's going to secure them a place in line. ]

[Katsuki takes his place beside him. There definitely is a competition shaping up, with some solos and some two-person teams starting to show.]

This looks like a practice round.

I haven't checked the schedule recently. It might be some kind of event?

[ Normally he just comes alone to dick around so... ]

Nothing official. Probably grew out of people coming in from the storm.

[A girl's walking down the line of people waiting, asking if they want to compete.]
