Todoroki place his finger on his lips, signalling they needed to be quiet. He didn't feel like confronting his father. Besides, if he was angry when midoriya came round, he would more angry that he stayed the night.
Shouto shot a quick look at his sister before he clambered out the window with izuku.
"FUYUMI! WHERE IS SHOUTO" he bellowed, his flames flickering frantically.
"I don't know father" she lied through a smile as she bowed.

The smaller boy's heart was pounding. He was scared of being caught. Not just for himself, but for todoroki too. They crept through the bushes and to a less obvious side exit.
They snuck around the corner until they were sure they couldn't be seen.
Both boys let out a sigh of relief and began to walk normally.
"So.." the taller boy began, "where do you want to go?"
Izuku rubbed his neck and shrugged, "I'm not sure. Maybe the arcade or the park?"
"Arcade sounds great to me!" Todoroki slightly smiled and held out a thumbs up. ( Omg todoroki. Please don't turn into denki)

They walked for a while, chatting about ideas and plans for the day. It was mainly midoriya talking. The split haired boy didn't seem to mind, though, he enjoyed listening to him ramble. They turned a few corners and eventually made it into town.

The green haired boy bounced happily and grabbed todoroki by the wrist, pulling him along. As they entered, a lady called out "welcome! What can I do for you" she smiled, looking over at the two boys.
"Can we get two cups please?" Shouto placed a few coins on the counter.
"Of course." She reached over and filled the cups with red tokens, before setting them down Infront of the pair. She handed him a receipt and pushed the cups towards them.
"Enjoy!"

They wandered around for a while, finding a good game to play.
"Todoroki look!" Midoriya was pointing at a large bunny plushie in a claw machine. "I'm going to win it" he said, determined.

The taller boy smiled and handed one of the cups to him. "Knock yourself out" he chuckled.
Half an hour had passed and midorya was still trying the claw game, shouto watching intensely.
"Are you sure you don't need my help izuku?"
The broccoli boy pouted before muttering the word "maybe."

Shouto reached around him and placed his hands on the joystick, with midoriya.
The smaller boy blushed a bright pink.
After only one attempt, a loud thud came from the prize chute.
Izuku jumped for joy and a wide grin was painted on his face.
He pulled out the plushie and hugged it tightly, it was almost half his size.
"Thank you Todoroki-kun!" The small boy beamed with excitement.
The split boy chuckled and ruffled the smaller boy's hair "call me shouto."

They spent hours together, in the arcade, until a quiet rumble escaped izuku's stomach.
"Are you hungry?"
He nodded, still holding his bunny.
"I know a really good cat cafe not to far from here. How does that sound?"shouto asked happily.
The small boy grinned "I love cats!"

They walked side by side, their hands lightly grazing. Todoroki was so happy, he had gotten to spend the day with izuku and it had been amazing so far.

They sat down and ordered their meals before going off to play with the small cats. Shouto was quite fond of a small, fluffy kitten. It bounced around and played with the string on his jumper. He laughed and looked at izuku. He was curled up by the wall, stroking a black and white cat. A black patch covered his left eye. The cat purred loudly in the boy's lap.

They got their food and sat, talking about how nice it was there and that they should go again sometime.

Todoroki finished his soba and lovingly stared at midorya, who was now playing with the excitable kitten.
He couldn't help but see a similarity between the two.
