Izuku finished unpacking and sat on his bed. "Shoto you've gotta let me pay some of the rent."
"No can do. Dad bought this whole apartment for me, so what's the point?" Shoto said.
"Right. Your dad." Izuku said, sighing.
"Is this really all your stuff?" Shoto said. "Not much."
"Don't need much." Izuku said.
The doorbell rang. Who could that be?
"Oh here she is!" Shoto said, his tone suddenly brighter.
In came Reiko, yanking Kuri by the sleeve. "I made her come too. Three's a crowd and all that."
Reiko ran over and kissed Shoto. "It's good to see you, honey."
Izuku blinked, processing. Reiko and Shoto? She'd loved him forever; what made him finally figure it out? If there was hope for them then maybe...
He looked at Kuri. She looked back.
"Brought you something." Kuri said, and handed him a really nice camera.
Better than one he could afford.
Izuku was speechless. It was beautiful, the best he could ask for. But...
"I can't accept this." Izuku said, but his hands were literally sticking to the camera. He didn't want to let go.
"You already have." Kuri said. "Go catch that story, Izuku."
