Pico Loves Sweets | Chapter 12

"Speaking" 'Thinking' ~Pico~

Pico was walking by Midoriya's side, holding on to his hand as the two made it to a small coffee shop that had good cakes. Midoriya hadn't been there in a while since Bakugou saw him go in there. Bakugou and his possy would always hang out by the entrance to make sure he couldn't go inside.

Now however, he wouldn't have to worry about being beat up by them. He can simply change forms and go out whenever he felt like it. He did have to worry about money though, Pico told him that all the money he was given was placed into a black card. Apparently it's a VIP card at some random bank that doesn't care about how much money is placed into a card. He found it strange that they thought that far into it...

Especially since the amount of money he'll be transferring into his account will seem incredibly suspicious. Like him being some drug lord suspicious...

Anyway Midoriya and Pico were now walking into the building. The boy he'd been hesitant to see wasn't there, instead there were just a couple of boys looking emo as hell. The two easily walked passed the kids, only catching a side eye towards his daughter. Of course when the boys noticed his glare towards them they didn't say a word.

The two walked into the building and went up to the counter. There Izuku immediately ordered something sweet for Pico, knowing full well that she holds a grudge if he'd lied to her. The girl hopped up and down excitedly. Izuku ordered himself a coffee and Pico a boba tea as well as some food so Pico wasn't hungry anymore. Izuku would eat, but it wasn't really a necessity for him. Normally he wouldn't eat anything for a few days at a time. But now, he's got a kid..., so according to everyone, taking care of himself is also taking care of her.

Izuku sighed to himself as he watched Pico dance around happily waiting for her sweets to be ready. The two went over to a seat near the window and sat together. From there the two were left waiting in comfort. 

~Papa! Does the cake you ordered Kaoru taste good?~ Pico questioned. Great she'd changed her normal third person speech to her other name too.

Izuku hummed to himself and looked towards the kitchen. "I don't know Kaoru, I've never had cake before." Izuku told the girl. 

~What!? Why not! How come Papa's ordered Kaoru cake, but not Papa!?~ Kaoru said. She was getting anxious as she'd spoke to him. ~Papa can try some of Kaoru's then.~ Pico told him. Izuku chuckled to himself as he watched Pico anxiously worry about him.

"It's alright Kaoru, I haven't had much of any sweets before. So we can just try them together." Izuku told the girl. Pico smiled brightly at that. 

~That's a great idea! Papa can go around and get sweets with Kaoru!~ Pico somewhat shouted.

"Shh, you can't have too many sweets, okay? Also you have to keep it down while we're out in public ok? You might disturb others." Izuku told the girl. Pico seemed to realize her voice was raised and quickly eeped as she sat back down instead of standing in her seat. 

Just like on the train, the two seemed to have quite the attention on them. Nearly everyone in the cafe was chuckling at the energetic little girl and the tough looking man talking sweetly to her. Izuku seemed to notice the amount of attention on them and quickly apologized again. When the two's food came, Pico was over the moon. 

~Papa! This looks so good!~ Pico told him. She was always so excitable. Izuku stabbed the large straw into her boba tea and handed it to her.

"Yeah? Be careful with your tea hon, boba can make you choke, so you don't want to swallow them whole, okay?" Izuku told the girl. Pico blushed slightly at the little nickname but nodded her head as she'd taken it. He'd ordered her strawberry, so he really hoped she liked it. Normally strawberries can be quite tart, so he hopes she's not super bad with it.

As he'd watched her take a sip, her eyes suddenly went wide. ~Papa! This is sooooo yummy!~Pico told him. Izuku laughed at the girl's words. Looks like he was worried over nothing. Again small chuckles were heard around him. He just couldn't seem to escape from people's views. He coughed again to try and regain his composure. Again only earning small chuckles from around the cafe. 

Pico seemed to notice the attention and tilted her head to the side in confusion. (Some one may or may not have been recording again...) She looked around and spotted a strangely dressed man. She looked towards Izuku then back towards the man. Izuku was confused but looked as well. A man dressed in what looked like a black track suit or something was sitting in a booth staring at the two of them. Izuku seemed to feel a little weirded out, but at the same time, nearly everyone was looking their way, so there shouldn't really be a reason for that.

"Kaoru, hon. Let's hurry and eat so we can go shopping before it starts getting dark ok?" Izuku asked the girl. 

~Okay!~ After that the two continued to eat and speak to one another. Pico made sure that Izuku tried her cake and waited for a good reaction. It wasn't really up Izuku's alley, but he smiled and told the girl that it was good none the less. He'd have to stick with bitter instead. Speaking of which, Izuku may or may not have ordered black coffee which he especially made sure Pico didn't get her hands on.

As they got ready to leave, Izuku quickly cleaned Pico's face off, Pico excitedly motioned to be picked up and Izuku chuckled at her eagerness. "Ready?" Izuku asked the girl. Pico rapidly started nodding her head.

~Lets go shopping Papa!~ Pico told him. He chuckled and thanked the staff. The two walked out the door and were now on their way to a small mall. Pico swung her legs around as they walked to their destination. 

~Papa should get a car, it's easier for traveling.~ Pico told him.

"Yes but driving also takes practice. If I just went in and got myself a car without any practice behind the wheel, don't you think we'd get quite the amount of suspicion?" Izuku asked the girl. Pico thought it over before nodding. 

~Papa's right..., maybe Papa can take lessons. Papa's already fifteen, that means that papa can legally start driving right?~ Pico asked. Izuku thought about it. It's been a while since he's looked any of that up. 

"I could get some practice in this form, but if I were to do that then I'd have to get used to using specifically this form when driving." Izuku told her. The two thought about it the entire way to the mall.
