[30] Shopping Date

"Alright! Time to get going."

School was officially out for the day, so now, you were free to head to the mall and pick out a new phone. But instead of carrying out this tedious errand on your own, you were being accompanied by an adorable freckled boy.

Izuku smiled shyly. "Thanks again for letting me come along. I hope I'm not being too much of a bother."

"What, are you kidding?" you chuckled. "It would have been super boring if I went by myself. This way, we'll have so much more fun! Seriously, there's no way it's a bother. You always make things better, Izuku."

He hastily turned his head to the side, clearly too embarrassed to keep looking you in the eye.

STATUS UPDATE:

[Midoriya Izuku can't help but feel flustered when you say things like that.]

[+10 love points.]

[Current progress: 300/500]

Even setting the system aside, Izuku was practically an open book. He wore his heart on his sleeve, especially when it came to being embarrassed or excited. You were close enough with him by now that you felt confident when it came to reading him, and for that reason, you resolved that you didn't need to focus on the notifications for today's outing.

Besides, it was better this way. It felt more organic, more natural. He was important to you, so if it could be avoided, you would prefer not to peer into his thoughts too much.

[Mute system notifications?]

>> [YES]

The sheer relief that swept through your body once you tapped the screen was indescribable. You knew that it was only temporary, but you would gladly take this bit of normalcy, regardless of how long it lasted.

With the system momentarily pushed to the back of your mind, you were able to focus all of your attention on Izuku, and the train ride passed by in a flash.

"Over here," Izuku gestured. Having just stepped inside the mall, he was already pointing off into the distance. "There's a phone store that way. We can try that one first."

You smiled and followed along, and you had to admit that it was rather endearing watching him fuss over all the different types of phones as he tried to figure out what the best possible deal would be.

Frankly speaking, though, money was of no concern to you. After all, you could always craft more of it.

It isn't exactly the best thing to do, morally speaking, but I literally have no other way to provide for myself. As long as I'm careful not to ever take more than I need, it should be okay... right?

For the time being, you decided it was best not to get too tied up in the details.

"This one seems alright," Izuku mumbled, knitting his brows together. "Ah, but... that's only if you sign up for this particular plan. I'm not sure if it's worth it in the long run."

You shrugged. "I don't really have much of a preference, so I'll trust your judgment, Izuku."

"A-Are you sure? Oh, jeez. Now I'm worried that I might make the wrong call and you'll end up stuck with something that isn't any good. Give me a few moments... just a few moments to think it over and do a bit of research," he spluttered.

He pulled out his phone and started frantically searching things up online. To be honest, it was much ado over nothing, but whenever he made up his mind to do something, he could be surprisingly stubborn.
