Current Arc: Carnival Oil

Katsuki sat with Twice on some random bench, spaced apart so that the serving of chicken and fries could sit between them. It tasted decent, but Katsuki knew he would most likely get a stomach ache later due to all the oil. 

"These are a little too greasy. The fries are fuckin' oil sticks"

"Oil sticks!" Katsuki burst into laughter only to choke in the lemonade in his mouth; though, the reaction only served to further cause amusement. Twice laughed when Katsuki so at out the drink

"Fuck" Katsuki said when he'd calmed. He wiped at his face and pants. "Oil sticks. That shouldn't be that funny"

"That's highly debatable. By the way, is Shigaraki still your favorite? I'm better"

In an attempt to ignore the way his face flushed, Katsuki stuffed a mouthful of fried chicken into his mouth. "Non'a you're buithneth ath-hat" He addressed the man.

"Hey watch your mouth, when I was your age..." Twice mocked an old voice, holding his back as if he was some elderly man with back problems. Katsuki snorted.

"Hey, guess what"

"What?"

Katsuki smirked, taking the final piece of chicken and waving it triumphantly. Before Twice had the chance to grab at it, he stuffed half of it into his mouth.

"You asshat. Nice"

Katsuki smiled through his over stuffed mouth. He brought a hand to hide his mouth as he ate the chicken. Swallowing it, he reached for his drink. "What's next after this?"

"How did you feel about the ferris wheel? Romantic isn't it?"

"Sure" Katsuki gave a deadpan stare at the villain who innocently sipped his lemonade. The straw between his lips. Only the man's lips and nose we're out.

Their food was done; greasy fries and chicken gone, leaving empty cardboard boxes. They sat there for another few quiet minutes, simply drinking lemonade and people watching.

Katsuki found the fair was both overwhelming and calming. People were everywhere, in every direction, going to unknown destinations. Some held prizes, some held food some held nothing. He liked watching them. His eyes caught on a pair whose fingers were interlaced. They looked to happy, innocent smiles stretching their lips. They looked young. Early middle school probably.

When Twice and him finished their drinks, Katsuki interlocked their elbows. It felt good, time be close with someone he could relax around. Everyone in the league could protect him. He was safe with them.

They waited for their turn on the wheel and Katsuki silently watched the colours swirl on the ride; bright lights illuminating the air.

Twice pulled him forward and he stumbled slightly. He climbed into one of the seats, Twice across from him.

As they slowly moved up, Katsuki could only stare. It was sunset, so the darkening orange, pink, and blue sky made the flashing lights of the rides and booths pop out.

"Isn't it pretty? Like a dumpster fire"

"Yeah" He breathed out. It was gorgeous. He pulled out his new phone and snapped a few photos.

The box between his feet brushed against his leg as he leaned over to look down. Twice moved the opposite of him to balance the booth.

When it paused at the top, Katsuki signed out a breath. "This is so cool"

Twice didn't comment, yet Katsuki could feel the man's agreement.

"I can't believe how many times you didn't win more than a baby toy" He teased.

"You brat, I'll tell Shigaraki to ground you. I'll see how you like that"

"You do realize that I'm his favorite, right. I get whatever the fuck I want"

"Yeah, yeah. Such a spoiled brat"

Katsuki flipped the man off as he struggled to let out a 'just for you' through his peels of laughter.

Sorry for leaving this for a while?

Side note: I'm really excited for Halloween. I think I'll end up writing a special chapter when we're closer to that time. So I'll drag out stuff. ♡
