shoji mezo. #9 pro hero.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

guh.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK indeed, denki heads straight into the diner, leaving shoji to follow a short ways behind after locking the car. he meets the blonde just at the booth to be seated, and he holds up to fingers for the hostess.

she says something friendly, then seats them.

" . . ah . . "

[shoji. @shojimezos]

pulls up outside @CHARGEDUSK's place and texts them that he's arrived. mezo already has a place in mind; a quiet little local pancake house that was open twenty four hours.

he puts his rustbucket of a truck into park to wait, humming quietly.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK mezo nods, his own gaze on the road. the only eyes he sports at the moment are in his own head, deciding to give denki their privacy.

the ride isn't long, but it does feel like it with the silence that follows.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

mezo goes quiet for a mlment before shifting and standing out of his seat, arms and tentacles adjusting to keep denki close while he rotates. blink.

" I . . think that's your own love shining through, denki. "

[Denki💛 @mut3dtones]

denki pauses, enough for him to pull her away if he really wishes, but when he’s cradled closer, he spots it as a good sign. mouth opens, and a soft kiss gets placed on his chin.

“..have you been eating kiwis? why do you feel fuzzy.”

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK mezo isn't blind; something is clearly wrong. he isn't the type to pry, however. he simply waits for denki to buckle, then puts the truck in drive. own outfit is similarly casual, though more cohesive.

" you were serious about pancakes? " he double checks.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

and I'm here?

( he looks like tinkerbell in the best of ways. it makes mezo very happy, and he hopes quite sincerely that no one pisses bakugo off. for entirely selfish reasons, of course. )

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏𝐈’𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐁𝐎𝐒𝐒 .ᐟ @EMBERS0FVICTORY]

I had a good day. no one pissed me off AND you’re here. so.

( big smile and he’s aaaall sparkly. kacchan sparkles when he’s happy that’s my hc. )

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK you're very welcome.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

/ shoji vs denkis

established relationship denki

blooming romance denki

platonic being there for an old friend denki

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK ( it takes him a moment, but then he's cracking a smile at his phone. )

. . I understood that. I'll pick you up in ten for pancakes.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK I appreciate your apology, and I assure you no offense was taken.

of course. I have nothing but time for the next two weeks. do you have a food preference?

[shoji. @shojimezos]

it's more of a gnaw than an actual bite, and it fills mezo with soft affection. two tentacles wind behind himself and cradle partner.

" yours. always. "

[Denki�� @mut3dtones]

she shifts into his lap, lazily biting down on his shoulder. not enough to hurt, just enough to be there. present. in the moment.

“..mine.”

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK no need to apologize. I understand a lot is happening lately, so I don't mind if emotions run high.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

@CHARGEDUSK I apologize, I meant to say hello earlier.

I also recognize we lack the repetoire for a venting session, so I will settle for offering to take you to breakfast and have a lighthearted conversation instead?

at that one soba shop todoroki likes.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

if I recall correctly, they can get in legal trouble if you don't take a certain amount of time off. so it is still soulless, don't worry.

oh? 13:00 on tuesday sound good?

[Shinsou @HitoshiMindjack]

Unfortunately I've been forced into a mandated break. Apparently even my soulless agency wants a minimal work life balance.

I'm down for some lunch. Pick a time and place and I'll show up.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

hah. here I thought you had joined the ranks of our ex hero friends after fighting so hard to become one.

would you like to catch up over lunch?

[Shinsou @HitoshiMindjack]

I've freed myself from the shackles of employment.

....So yes, at least for a couple days.

[shoji. @shojimezos]

I've been very well, thank you. I've officially moved to hokkaido, so I'm much in the same boat as you.

are you also on vacation currently?

[Shinsou @HitoshiMindjack]

How have you been? Feels like ages since I've been able to try and keep up.
