I can't stop it

The commotion settles only when Shinso's sweater is pulled back properly. The manager provided us with free snacks and a gift card. Shinso had insisted that he was fine and he had expressly declined dry cleaning care. I, on the other hand, was very much still irritable on his behalf.
I try to shake off the rest of my protective anger when we pass a market. "Shinso, do you have anything at your place to apply on later?"
A quiet moment goes by so I turn to see him. What's up?
"I.. I have the first aid kit from that first night.. I believe it has burn gel packets.." He answers, still standing in place.
I wait patiently for what he's working on to say.
"When we realized my quirk didn't work on you.. I just.. I had never seen that before. It gave me a kind of hope." He rubs his nape and scans for a bench. "Can we sit over here a bit?"
"Yeah, sure.." I follow him slowly through the quiet sidewalk.
"At the expo.. I just wanted an answer for it. If it was something others could do too, I would've been happy to share it." He fidgets but he's determined.
"But if it's only you.. then I'm happy that it's you. People don't usually care for someone with a quirk like mine; I'm grateful to you and I'm sorry that its hard on you when it activates against me. I hate knowing that, but.."
I put my hand on his shoulder to show that I'm okay. He looked up and continued, "But I'm glad your quirk is reliable. I'm sure with training and practice.. that you'll be able to extend it!" His certainty only activates my uncertainty.
I think about the face he made when he covered me at our table, and his face from when we met to his expression right now. "I.." I start with no direction.
He searches my face before going on. "I don't want to push you. Or for you to think I'm just like, obsessed with your quirk. I feel bad enough about the expo thing, but at the cafe, you.. If it's something that's hard on you.. let me help. If I can."
I take a moment to digest. I can tell these feelings and thoughts were complicated for him, they must have seemed contradicting even, but he did his best to articulate.
"I think.. I understand." I reassure him. "Thank you for saying that. I don't think that you're obsessed or anything like that. Things have just been.. eventful in a short amount of time."
He looks both relieved and tired all of a sudden. My heart is racing, I feel like I'm going to do something reckless again and I can't stop it. I lean in and give him a quick peck on the cheek before I can think about it twice.
I retreat, sitting back straight, looking up and down the sidewalks. I need to think of a way to get this convo back on our feet. When I manage to turn back to him, he surprises me with a 'Do you want to catch a movie?'
Eh?
"Or go to the mall? Or just.. do anything that doesn't involve talking about our quirks or.. [other complicated things..] we can see what Denki and Kyoka are up to-"
"Okay."
"Yeah? Cool.. I just need to change. Do you want to come with, or meet back up later?" He stands and faces away as if relieving any sense of pressure.
I should take the break, cool off. Don't do it, don't say it- "I can just come with." Damn it and these impulses.

At Shinso's it's small and cozy. He changes in the bathroom while I look for things to tease in his living room. Pfft. I spot a shot of him and Denki with a face of annoyance. "Were they free?" I ask loud enough for him to hear.
"What was that?"
Okay.. not loud enough. "I just wondered if Denki got back to you." I say, getting closer to the door.
"Ah," Can you check my phone for me? It's on the counter where we walked in."
I hesitantly pick up his phone. His lock screen lights up and Denki's message reads 'u want the real response or the wingman response?'
Whatever I was feeling about handling someone else's phone had just flown out the window. 'Wingman.' I hit send.
Before I could pay mind to the pounding in my ears, it chimed. 'Really bro? i thought u were just gonna curse me out i wasn't expecting u 2 say that. Would she not hang if it's just the 2 of u?'
The bathroom door opens and I jump out of my skin. We awkwardly stand off, him tangled in a gauze wrap and me obviously caught red-handed. *Chime* 'wellll Kyoka wants to hang with ur girl, so we can meet at the X st bus stop in an hour'
I try to hide my smirk but it's the only thing keeping me in control. "D-did you need help with the wrap?"
He holds it in place while locating a couple of fasteners in a kitchen drawer. "I should be good now that I've got these," He holds up his findings. "Thanks though, would you like some water?"

At his couch I put the phone on the coffee table before sitting back with water. "I uh.. was teasing Denki for his responses. It got a bit silly after that, but the point is that they should be good in about an hour." As nonchalantly as I had intended, I could tell Shinso was as peacefully dying to get his eyes on the exchange.
He nods, adding "Then what should we do til then?"
