your pov:

You were walking around with Nendou, Kaidou, and surprisingly, Saiki. You weren't sure how he got dragged into going with them, but you had previously said yes to hanging out with them to get Nendou to leave you alone. Turns out he didn't forget that and it came back to bite you in the ass. While you didn't mind their company occasionally, it got a bit overwhelming after a while. But this was a chance to get closer to Saiki and learn more about him. Your goal to become closer wasn't only driven by your curiosity towards Saiki and his possible powers. You also genuinely liked him, and wouldn't mind becoming his friend.

"Oh! Fancy meeting you here Saiki."

"Oh wow!"

The two next to you seemed excited upon hearing this voice, seeing as they audibly spoke when they noticed her. You looked towards the voice and saw a girl from your class. It was Teruhashi? Why was she talking to you guys? You may not be interested in Teruhashi, but there were many others who were and you were painfully aware of that. I mean the girl was practically glowing?? It truly was surprising to see her talking to you guys. Or, more like, talking to Saiki.

"What are you guys up to today?"

"Well Nendou said he knew of a good ramen shop so he's taking us there now!"

"Yeah!! We're gonna pig out- I mean, eat like gentlemen."

Oh!! Ramen sounds good! Do you guys mind if I invite myself to tag along with you? Oops! I hope i'm not being overly pushy."

While you had no problem with Teruhashi, or her coming along, you did not enjoy the attention brought to your group as soon as she started talking to you guys. You weren't blaming Teruhashi for this, but it did cause there to be an overwhelming amount of attention on you guys. As you continued to walk towards the ramen shop, people continued to admire the girl. Kaidou, Nendou, and Teruhashi were now walking together, leaving you and Saiki slightly behind. He looked lost in thought, so you didn't say anything. It was weird, you could speak to other people completely fine. Sure, you didn't speak a lot but it was still possible. With Saiki, you felt as if you couldn't speak at all. What was the cause of this? You, of course, didn't know. So you were going to blame it on the fact that you were 50% sure he had super strength and that he was just slightly intimidating.

"We've arrived, there's the ramen shop."

Nendou pointed at a small, rundown, and mildly concerning ramen shop. For a split second, you could see Teruhashi's face drop. Understandably, she didn't look too pleased at the idea of eating there. You didn't either, the place quite literally looked like it was a safety violation.

"Are you out of your mind man?? She's got class there's know way she's gonna eat at a place like that? You don't really wanna eat in this rundown rathole do you Teruhashi?"

"...I'm ok....with this place."

"Are we eating here or going somewhere else? Cause if i'm being honest, it doesn't look very promising."

This was the first time you've spoken up since Teruhashi had joined you guys. It was also the first time Teruhashi actually acknowledged that you were there. This comment earned you a questionable stare from Teruhashi and a glare from Kaidou and Nendou. At this point you didn't care, just wanting to get the hangout over with. You entered the restaurant and sat down at a small table.

"Yo Mr. Manager!! Five bowls of ramen please!"

You glanced over at Teruhashi, who was getting more nervous by the second. She really did not want to eat here did she? You'd say you felt bad, but she did choose to follow a plan made by Nendou. The ramen came and it looked...less than appetizing.

"So, no one actually wants to eat this right? Like-"

You were cutoff by the sound of eating. Teruhashi was actually eating the noodles. Your jaw dropped, you didn't expect anyone to eat it, especially not her. In the end, you guys ended up leaving the ramen shop. Your "fun outing" was just as enjoyable as you expected (you hated every second of it). It was finally time for you guys to split ways, except for you and Saiki. The other three had gone their separate ways, leaving you two. You spoke up.

"If you aren't going anywhere else, we should walk together. If you want to, of course."

"Ok."

You smiled to yourself, happy to finally have some peace. Not only that, you also had a chance to converse with the unusual male next to you.

"That was definitely quite the hangout!! I'm surprised Teruhashi lasted that long. It looked like she wanted to die the second she saw the ramen shop."

He nodded in response.

"Truthfully, I think my favorite part was walking home with you. As embarrassing as it sounds. It's hard to handle so many outgoing people at once y'know?"

"Yeah, it is."

You smiled again, happy to get another verbal response out of him. As much as you wanted to keep yourself on Saiki's good side, you wanted to test his "powers" even more. You knew he was strong, so it was time to see if your mind reading theory was true.  The main problem was that Saiki had a great poker face. He wasn't an easy person to read. Meaning you would either have to say something absolutely insane, or find a way to bluntly bring up the mind reading thing while still being able to disguise it as a joke.

"Hey Saiki, do you believe in magical powers?"

"No."

"Really?? Not even enhanced strength or mind reading?"

"..."

He raised an eyebrow at your question, looking at you quizzingly. You couldn't help yourself from grinning. Were you being a little too obvious with your question? Probably. Considering that Saiki didn't respond to your second question, you chose not to push the topic any further. Ultimately, if you did end up making the male dislike you, you likely would never find the answer to your accusations. Soon enough you arrived at your houses.

"Thanks for walking with me. I enjoyed it after being dragged along to that hangout."

He nodded in response. Assuming that was as he had to say, you walked towards your door to head inside. Turning back, you were surprised to see that Saiki was looking at you. You both froze, shocked you had both been caught staring. You smiled again, turning to walk inside.

"(Name)."

You looked at him again, trying to ignore the fact that he totally just called you by your name for the first time. He was partially inside of his home. You both stared at each other silently. It seems you both were aware he was unsure of what he was doing.

"Let's do that again."
