->
i cant stop thinking about camino arc. enji spend his entire life chasing a god, something untochable, just looking at his back
and then enji saw just a human
surprised laugh escaped him.
— actually, they do, todoroki. they make it with a modern twist, with a bit of—
hawks stopped mid-sentence, tapping his pen against the microphone. the sharp tap echoed through the speakers, cutting straight through their corner.
->
i doubt you'd care for the desserts there, but it's quiet enough.
— western-style? — enji frowned, leaning just a fraction closer, completely ignoring the room around them. — do they have kuzumochi?
yagi blinked, completely derailed by the question, before a genuine,
->
— all might rubs his neck. — maybe we could have tea together sometime.
it takes enji a second longer than it should to surface.
— we're having tea now.
— oh, right, — all might glanced at table and laughed — enji still didn't know how to feel about this new
->
— where do you usually go? you must have a favorite place.
the direct interest in the other man's tone caught toshinori completely off guard, more than any blunt aggression ever could.
— it’s just a western-style cafe near my place, nothing special, really.
->
yagi just smiled with a nod, settling back into his seat. it was a smile that actually reached enji's eyes this time. hawks's voice from the front of the room kept going on about post-war district budgets.
enji didn't stop there, surprising even himself as he kept going.
->
broke the silence, making enji look up.
enji studied his face, genuinely surprised by what he saw. for the first time in his life, he did see him — saw the raw hesitation in yagi’s deep eyes and the awkward smile on his lips.
— tuesday works.
->
enji saw it now. a petty, foolish need to defend a score that the other man wasn’t even keeping.
the damned tea had caught up with him after all these years, leaving a dull wave of shame.
— or, you know.. if you are busy, todoroki...
the hesitant sound of all might's voice
->
took their rivalry seriously. but all might just stood there, talking about kids, trying to have a friendly chat. It felt like all his efforts were nothing but a joke to the man at the top.
embarrassingly childish.
with the perspective of his retirement, that was exactly how

quiet sound. — but i meant properly. just us.
a vague memory of a long-ago shoto's sports festival slowly surfaced in enji's head. that stuffy corridor, and all might standing there, looking down at him.
enji had the most closed cases in the country, he worked non-stop, and

would have snapped, said something, put distance between them because that was what he did. that is who he was.
..that is who he is.
all mights voice cuts through it, low, pitched just for him under the sound of hawks talking at the front of the room.
— i was thinking,
->
close.
closer that necessary.
their shoulders would almost touch. all mights knee would brush against enji's under the table. his elbow would rest on the armrest between them, enough that enji could feel the warmth of another body beside his with his only arm.
the old him

were open. people sat wherever they wanted. it didn't mean anything. then it kept happening. every time. yagi (It's a little difficult for enji to call him that in his head, even though all might asked) would walk in, scan the room, and somehow end up in the chair beside him.

still radieates heat.
and here a thing enji doesn't get.
it started small: a nod across the room at a charitable foundation meeting. a muttered comment about the weather in the elevator.
then all might started sitting next to him. enji didn't think about it. the chairs
