Shoto's pov

I stepped out of the car, giving Fuyumi a quick wave before walking into the crowd with one hand on my bag strap. The fountain came into view and I approached it. No one else was there yet so I sat on the edge, dropping my bag at my feet. 
"Yo Todoroki. What's up?" I turned. Kaminari was running towards me, his own bag over his shoulder. He had changed from his uniform into a yellow hoodie and jeans.
"The sky is up" I state. 
"No I mean what are you doing" he sits down next to me.
"Oh. I am waiting" I reply. I hold my hands together in my lap.
"Oh dude same. Who you waiting on?"
"Aizawa" his eyes got wider and seemed to sparkle.
"You're coming to see the movie too. Nice" he nodded his head and put his hands behind his head.
"What?" I tilted mine.
"Yeah. Shinso invited me... Well I more overheard what he was saying in class the other day and asked about it" he laughed.
"What are you two chatting about?" I turned to look. I didn't recognise the guy who was stood in front of me. Short blond hair and blue eyes. 
"You must be Todoroki and Kaminari. Tamaki told me you'd be coming" he laughed.
"Aizawa told you?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh no. Tamaki Amajiki. The oldest brother. Dark purple hair. Cute face-" he began rambling about Amajiki. Oh yeah I remember him. He was the brother that didn't end up on our little travel party.
"Anyway. I'm tasked with keeping you two busy till they arrive" he laughs again.
"I'm fine with just waiting" I look past him, trying to see if Aizawa was near. The blond began talking to Kaminari who was happily chatting back. I finally picked out Aizawa. She was walking towards us with her brothers next to her. Amajiki handed her and Shinso his bag and something else before running up and tackling the blond from behind in a hug.
"Tamaki. There you are" he smiles.
"I missed you" 
"Its been about an hour since school" 
"Don't care. Still missed you" I was pulled away from the conversation by Aizawa tapping my shoulder. I looked. She was offering me a smoothie. I took it in my hands.
"I didn't know what you would like so I just got bannana and Strawberry" I took a sip through the straw.
"This tastes nice. Thanks" she gave me a small smile. 
"Come on. If we don't go quickly then there'll be a line" Shinso complained, taking the lead. Aizawa took my hand and took the lead.
"Where are we going?" She turns to look at me.
"The tattoo parlour. They do piercings" she replies. We reach the parlour where Aizawa, Shinso and Amajiki were signing the forms. I walked up to the display of different piercings and the varieties they had. 
"Is there anything you want sir?" the owner asks, leaning over the desk to look at me. I blink, looking at the display cabinet.
"Yeah. How much is an ear piercing?" I hear a gasp of some kind from behind but I'm not sure where. The guy takes out a chart and passes it to me to look. I had enough. I passed him the money and picked up the form he gave me to sign. I sat back down to read through and sign. Aizawa was smirking.
"What?" she laughed.
"Nothing. Its nothing" I blinked but went back to the form, signing at the bottom. Amajiki got his ear pierced first followed by Shinso. Aizawa got both her ears done, looking at them in the mirror across the room. It was my turn. I sat down, tightening my hand around the chair I was sat on. It nipped for a moment but after that I didn't feel the pain anymore. He lifted the small handheld mirror to show me the piercing on my left side.
"I like it" I agree. He puts the mirror down and I get up. Aizawa was taking a picture with her brothers, all of them showing off their piercing in the photo. She turned to me.
"Come on. Let me get a photo" she pulled out her phone, holding it up in front of me. I pulled strands of hair behind my ear and put one hand on the back of my neck. Her phone flashed before she looked down at the screen. 
"Mind if I take one of you?" 
"O-oh. S-sure" she mumbled, fiddling with one sleeve. I pulled out my phone and opened up the camera. I pointed the camera at her and pressed the shutter. It clicked and saved the photo to my camera role. 
"I'll set this as your contact photo. It looks nice" her face darkened. 
"Yeah. Same" she agreed, nodding. 
"Aizawa? Did I say something wrong?" she shook her head.
"No its fine. I'm just not very photogenic is all" she shoves her hands in the pockets of her jeans. I nod. It was quiet.
"You can call me Tamaki" I look at her.
"What?"
"My name. You can use it. Since... We're friends" she looked up at me through strands of hair.
"Y-yeah. Call me Shoto then if that makes you feel more comfortable" I offer. She laughs and lightly punches my shoulder.
"I think I'll stick to Candy cane. Just until I can say your name without messing up" I nod. 
"If that makes you feel better then that's fine" maybe that nickname wasn't too bad after all.
"Come on you too. If we don't hurry then we won't get to go to all the shops we picked out before dinner" Shinso grumbled. 
"Coming" Aiz- Tamaki took my hand and walked into the lead. I followed, eyes trailing down to our hands. Her hands were soft. I was distracted by the others chatting away about things. It was nice. I could enjoy this.
