  With Shoto helping Momo wrap up, I hung around for just a moment too long. "I'm going to keep looking around.." I inform Shoto before giving Momo a last glance. Although he was quick to look at me, she almost missed her cue to respond 'Nice to meet you too,' for having her eyes on him.
  With a nod of acknowledgment, Shoto continued to break things down at the booth, unaware of what girls around him would possibly be thinking.
  Welp, time to check out some booths before they start to pack up, too. I shake out some remaining tension in my neck, wondering what I'm even getting worked up on. She's nice. He hasn't done anything wrong, and I've..
  "Ah, good, you're still here."
..The fact that I could think of a few different options for whose voice this is, shows I have no business getting jeal.. jeal.. Tch. I'm not even going to finish that.
"Whoa, there's a happy face if I ever saw one.."
Eijiro teases but raises an eyebrow with slight concern.
"Sorry, I just.. was in my head. What's up?"
"...Nothing much, was going to see if you wanted some crepes.. but if you're over here tch'ing then I've had my fill of that for today."
I wonder if he's seriously bothered but with his smug chin in the air, I chuckle. And what is it with the crepes? "Wait, since when do you know Katsuki?"
"Um. Always?"
I blink, inviting elaboration.
"Since high school. Since when do you know Izuku and Shoto?"
"Since.. really? Them too??" Are you kidding?
"? We were all in high school together. I think I've even seen your boyfriend there too, in another class. He's kind of a weir-" He stops himself from finishing 'weirdo'.
Blink.. blink..
"The dude you went all lab rat with. What was that about, anyway?"
I lag with the spit fire of information. "Did you just call me a rat?"
  "Ugh. Do you want crepes or not?" He whines, facing the truck.
  At this, I just start laughing. These last couple of moments have been head-spinning and all of it just seems ridiculous. "He's not my-"
  My eyes land on someone unpleasantly familiar. Eijiro quickly follows my gaze and finds the exact reason why I dropped out of our first class together.
  Ah.. he lets go under his breath. "Um. You wanted a picture before.. I'm sorry about that time, I.. Um. Would you like to take one now? There's uh, there are pretty lights and stuff.."
  Is he distracting me? Does he think I can even control my face right now? I start to hug myself, feeling exposed and ashamed that I feel frozen, even if lately I've been acting so.. loose.
  I feel strong arms hug me tight, turning me slightly to lose sight of that scum across the way. I feel my heart pounding against a hard chest before I relax.
  "I was shit at distracting you. Sorry."
  His voice is low and honest. I untuck my head and look up at him, our faces close. My upper lip brushes his chin briefly before I catch myself, rocking back onto my heals. My little ego trip recently has been fun and all but I can't go on like this..
  "I.." I start, backing up. He's still, not sure what emotion to show. "I'd like that photo."
  Hah. We laugh awkwardly together. I hand him my phone and watch him scan around for a decent backdrop.
  He leads me to a spot in front of a trellis adorned with faux vines and string lights, there's a row of booths and food trucks in the background. When he steps away to take the photo at a distance, I gently turn him back to me.
  "Don't.." Leave me "I mean, let's take it together?"
  He blinks before looking around again, rotating us slightly and then standing beside me. It's hard for me to smile but I turn towards him, tucking myself into a side hug and smile as I look up.
  "It's cute." I say, admiring his skills.
  "Sure, sure," His usual self is back, and I chuckle at that too.
  We pass by the crepe truck and I finally give in.

  "These. Are. So. Gooood!" I feel bad for turning Shinso down earlier. I snap a pic and send it to him.
  I send: Things happened and I ended up with one, I hope you had a chance to try one too! If not, I'll treat you to something sweet next time!
I look at my recently saved contacts and ask Eijiro if he wants a copy of our pic. After sending it through, I read a text from Shoto.
Ah.. I really don't feel like.. I just want my bed.. I bite my lip. "I'm.. going to head back."
Eijiro, who had been careful with his expressions, hesitated on letting me go back on my own. "I can walk you.."
"I'll be alright!" I reinsure and gather my things to go. "Thank you for.." I go down a mental list, "Well, for everything." I smile and head out on my way.
