* it was the end of the school day, and we saw izuku putting his books in his bag. He stopped when someone poked him. He looked at the person with his ever present smile on his face. His smile did become a bit more genuine.

Izuku: Yes, Mei?

Mei: Did you get my message?

* Mei asked with the same smile she always has on. Only unlike izuku's smile her was genuine, something that bothered izuku enough to find it annoying, but not enough for him to do anything about it. Izuku closed up his backpack and gave a nod, putting the backpack on his back*

Izuku: Yes. I'm available on Sunday for the event. Why did you ask this of me?

Mei: I don't know. My parents wanted to meet you for some reason

*Mei asked with a shrug, izuku looked at mei's table and she was nowhere near done cleaning up. He hummed and started to help Mei clean up her mess. Mei, seeing izuku clean up, it made Mei want to clean up with him, and she did as they both spoke*

Izuku: Ah. But it is weird that they want to meet me and not all your friends

Mei: I asked them. After crying over "my baby having friends," whatever that means. They made it very well known, that they want to meet you

*Mei asked, completely naive to why they wanted to meet the boy. Sadly, izuku was just as socially naive. He was just very good at pretending he's not and to think on the fly. But he was still just as naive as Mei. So he shrugged his brain, coming up with why they would want to meet him.*

Izuku: Hmm. Well, I suppose I was the first, I have seen everything. I have seen him, the one you shouldn't have killed

Mei: That's a weird way to say it, but yes, I guess?

*Mei asked, confused, as they both touched the same book, their hands touching each other. Mei felt her cheeks warm up. She pulled her hand back and touched one of her cheeks*

Mei"hm...am I getting a fever or something?"

*Mei thought to herself, izuku didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and kept cleaning up, so PL wouldn't scold them for the state of their area. He did give a disappointed sigh that Mei didn't get the reference*

Izuku: Man. Too bad shinsou isn't here. He would've gotten that reference. Anyhow. Yes, I am available

Mei: Great, I'm sure your mom and you will like it. My mom makes really tasty food

*Mei said in a chipper tone since they finished up cleaning up and were ready to go. Mei, on instinct, pulled her hand out, so izuku would take it, but izuku didn't take it this time. At least not right away, izuku shook his head a little and grabbed Mei's hand, like nothing happened*

Izuku:.....yes. I'm sure my mother and I will have a grand old time. But until then, I'll see you tomorrow

Mei: Wait, wait! Can't we go to the workshop?

*Mei complained, as with her free hand she put her backpack, which was a strapped bag on her shoulder and they walked out of the room to the exit. Izuku shook his head, and now he's gonna get ahead of this slight problem of his mother. He definitely didn't have the time to go to the workshop*

Izuku: I have prior engagements. But you can go, I added your hand to the security code. Just make sure to lock up and no touching my suits of armor

Mei: Fine. But I'm close. We're so close to cracking that damn code

*Mei said with a frustrated type of excitement that just made izuku chuckle softly and gave a short nod in response. Both stopped at a vending machine and paid for a couple of drinks*
