"It's not a date." Shouto quickly denies.

"But you're dressed so nicely." Izuku points at the boy's pressed blue long sleeve, his spotless white jeans, and neat brown shoes. He wasn't sure what type of shoes he's wearing. Moccasins, maybe?

"I like to dress up whenever I go to the city."

Before Izuku can get a word in, Tenya buts in. "But why would you go to the city?"

"I want to go somewhere."

"Yes!" Tenya flares his hands towards Shouto. "With Yaoyoruzu-san?" Izuku adds on.

Shouto turns his head away from his friends' sight. He tries to hide it, but Izuku is far too observant to hide any signs of denial. He clearly sees how flushed Shouto's cheeks are the second he mentioned that name.

"Enough!" Shouto makes a gentle layer of frost over Izuku's' mouth. He's quite good with hiding his emotions, but when it comes to her it becomes quite difficult.

"Todoroki-kun! I know you're denying any engagement with Yaoyorozu-san this afternoon, but I humbly advice for you not to freeze over your friend's mouth! That's very unbecoming both as a student and a hero in training!"

"Sorry Iida, I overreacted a little." Shouto puts his left hand in front of Izuku's face and melts off the icy layer on his lips.

"I understand, but given the circumstances I wouldn't blame you. If I was going on a I date with Yaoyoruzu-san I would react this way to." Tenya smirks.

"Remember Iida-kun, it's not a date. It just two friends going somewhere in the city." Izuku teasingly corrects him.

"But they're dressed nicely, Midoriya-kun? And where are they going?" The two look at Shouto to finish the question.

"A cat cafe." Shouto sighs as he begrudgingly answers.

"CAT CAFE! Congratulations Todoroki-kun!"

"Iida-kun don't yell! People might hear us!" Though they were sitting by the court in front of their dorm, and it's Saturday. Most students choose to either sleep in or stay indoors around this time.

"Sorry Midoriya-kun but I'm just so happy for our friend."

"I know! We're so proud of you Todoroki-kun!"

"You two. I'm the one going on a date, yet you two sound more excited than I am." Although he remains composed on the outside. His heart is racing, and his friends' overexcitement over his first date is surely not helping.

"Didn't you two go own your own dates recently?"

"Ehh! Uraraka-san and I just made mochi in the dorm kitchen!"

"Hatsume-san and I are working on modifications to my suit!"

"It's been three weeks, Iida. That excuse is getting old."

"Don't change the subject, Todoroki! I know you're doing this so we can look over the fact that you said that this IS A DATE!"

"I admit to nothing."

The typical high school teasing could've gone on forever. Luckily for Shouto, his phone started ringing.

"Hello."

"Todoroki-san can you meet me at the front of campus. I told Mina and Tooru that I was going to the restroom. This is gives enough time to leave already."

"They're teasing you too?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Alright I'll meet you there. And Yaoyorozu."

"Yes?"

"Just call me Shouto, okay?"

"Only if you call me Momo."

"See you in a bit.." Shouto's face turns bright red. "M-M-M-mo-mo."

"We'll work on it."

He hangs up and turns to his friends.

"I'm nervous."

"Don't be, Todoroki-kun. Just have fun." Both Izuku and Tenya give him a thumbs up.

"Alright then. Later."

As he makes his exit, Izuku and Tenya smile at Shouto. They're happy that despite of his miserable upbringing, he can at least have someone that can give a reason to smile.

"And all this started because of chicken noodle soup."

"No, Midoriya-kun. I think those two felt something way before that."

"How insightful of you, Iida-kun."

As Momo waits for Shouto to meet her, she gets another call.

"Hello."

It's Kyouka checking on her. She knew Mina and Tooru would tease her about today so she decided to help her best friend get away from them. She lied about seeing a stain on Momo's dress, and told her to go to the bathroom to try to wash it off. Luckily for them, Mina and Tooru believed every single word.

"You're in front now, right?"

"I am. Thank you for helping me out."

"Don't mention it."

"It's not a date, we're just going to a cat cafe."

"Whatever you say Yaomomo! Have fun!"

She puts her phone in her purse and patiently waits for her date to arrive.
