The person in charge could only gulps as he probably recognises Izuku as Hero Deku when he came into the ferris wheel car where Katsuki and Ritsu are already in.

People crowded but was graciously defeated by Izuku giving them a fanservice of a finger infront of his lips, forming a slight "sshh" and then the door to the ferris wheel closed as they ascended once again.

"Hm?" Izuku gave a confused look when he saw Ritsu had their hoodie on, hiding their face. Then he turned to Katsuki. "What's with this air? What's wrong?"

"I told Ri to properly think of your words." Katsuki slightly shrugs.

Those sentence made Ritsu even more shaken, Izuku noted as he saw their hug to the plushies tightened. "My words?"

"The invitations."

Izuku slowly loaded, before he let out a loud gasp, "Kacchan?! I thought you- what-?!"

Katsuki grumbles, "I fucking take back my words, this lil shit doesn't even understand what we're giving to 'em." He briefly explained.

Izuku's eyes widen, "what?"

Ritsu tried to hide deeper inside their hoodie, slightly uncomfortable from the two's conversation. Feeling guilty and like they shouldn't listen to their talk. Espescially since it's involving them.

"So, have you thought about it?"

Ritsu can feel the look the two gave them. "I..- I still, don't quite understand." They admitted out softly.

"Uncover the damn hoodie first."

Ritsu flinched, but they then moved their hand to uncover the said hoodie, revealing their embarrassed face.

"Well at the very least now you didn't misunderstood it, looking from your face."

Ritsu's face burnt once again, eyes instantly down to their lap and plushies and well they can see their shoes too. "B-But, I still- I don't get it." They mumble out softly.

"Which part do you not get?"

That made Ritsu a bit frustated, "are you trying to make me say it all?" They can't help but whine out in embarassment.

Katsuki scoffs, "that way we'll know if you misunderstood again or no."

"Kacchan," Izuku sweatdrops. "But Kacchan does have a point." He then added on making Katsuki looks halfly smug.

Ritsu continued to pout. "T-That," they decided to just go with it or the talk won't be nearing the end. "You two, are already together. How can.. how can I even fit in?" They whispered out confusedly.

Izuku and Katsuki gave each other a look.

"Riri, aren't you already fitting enough with us?" Izuku tried out.

"T-That's- not that way. Like,-" Ritsu's grip tightened, "Isn't relationships like this usually only for two people..? I'm- I'm not sure. I don't know?"

"Ah," Izuku scratched the back of his neck, "well you probably don't know but there is a such thing called polyamorous relationship."

Ritsu blinks, "oh."

"It's probably rare here, but it's not a really big deal, I think."

Now Ritsu felt embarassed for not knowing more.

"And it's our relationships. It's up for us to decide." Katsuku then added on. "So, how do you feel about us?"

"We're not trying to force you if you don't feel the same." Izuku piped in. "I mean, this whole thing must be a surprise huh? It hasn't even been that long since you're finally free from Hatori and you're probably still new to this kind of feelings and all.. But I hope you can think about it. We can wait, although not that long either," Izuku paused as a blush crept up, "I mean, we've more or less waited for fifteen years already." He added on that came out a whisper that Ritsu could hear.

Ritsu halted, 'fifteen years?' He peaked up to look at Izuku and Katsuki's face before hiding away again. "I.."

"Think of it properly, Ri. When you're completely sure of your answer and decision, then you can tell us." Katsuki cuts them off.

Izuku gave them a reassuring smile as Katsuki looked to the side.

Ritsu wallowed themselves and nodded briefly. The rest of the ride in the ferris wheel was filled with silence.

As Ritsu's body dropped on the bed, they felt everything is a dream. Their first visit to the amusement park felt so hazy now.

It was fun but with the way it ended..

Ritsu wasn't so sure of what they're feeling. They loves Izukun and Kacchan so much, but- how do one knows it's romantic or not?

What even is love?

They glance at the two Deku and Dynamight's plushies. "What is love?" They whisper out loudly.

"Kacchan said.. I am a somebody to him and Izukun.." Ritsu's hand rose to their chest, feeling something- it's- it makes them feels so happy.

They grabbed their phone. How do you know you're in love?

When you're in love with someone, you'll start to develop strong compassion for them. The powerful urge to be connected to this person brings new aspects to your relationship, such as emotional or physical intimacy, passion, and a desire to know everything about them, and be known by them in return.

Ritsu stares at the explanation.

They tapped on the website. Further reading it. Platonic or romance?

They halted. That's a new word.

Platonic love involves deep affection, but no romantic or sexual attraction. It’s absolutely possible for people of any gender to maintain a friendship without sexual tension or attraction.

Loving someone romantically usually involves a desire for a many-faceted connection. You value their personality and want their friendship. You might lust after them a little (though you can experience romantic love without ever desiring a physical relationship).

Ritsu feels their cheeks heating up a bit, lust after them. They dropped their phone. It's not really helping. They're just getting even more confused now.

The only obvious difference they understand right now is- whether they feel sexual attraction or not.

They now turn to the side, where there's the Dynamight and Deku poster. Lust after..- they swallowed carefully.

This kind of thinking is getting too dangerous. Although they're physically twenty years old, they're still mentally feeling underaged.

Speaking of ages, Izuku mentions of waiting for 15 years.. '15 years?' It's also the year when they.. were friends, they were children- why were they waiting for fifteen years? That- that doesn't make any sense??

They slam their head to the bed.

It's too much for their head to think.

Who knew relationships are so hard?
