"Inasa, you don't have to do that for me. I'll survive until I get home," Todoroki protested, pulling on Inasa's sleeve as he rummaged through the fridge for something to snack on.

Inasa shook his head, taking out a container of fresh strawberries, "But you're obviously hungry! Your stomach growled! I can't let you leave hungry!"

Todoroki watched as Inasa cut off the leaves, tossing them in the trash and setting a bowl for the rinsed and cleaned strawberries. He did the same process until all were empty from the container, throwing it away and fetching a can of whip cream.

"There's no need t-" Todoroki was cut off by a finger to his lips.

"I insist!" Inasa exclaimed with a bright smile, taking the bowl and whip cream before setting it in the dining room. "Come on! I'll even feed you!"

Todoroki hesitantly sat next to Inasa as he grabbed a strawberry, topping it with whip cream before offering it to Todoroki. He stared at it until he was jabbed in the side, gasping as Inasa took the opportunity to press the strawberry in his mouth, making Todoroki's cheeks puff out.

The watery flavor melted in his mouth, whip cream adding a sweet and fluffy mixture to it. Todoroki smiled, covering his mouth as he ate while Inasa popped a few into his own mouth, humming in satisfaction.

"Taste good?" Inasa asked, smiling before wiping a bit of whip cream from Todoroki's mouth. "You're really cute when you smile, you know?"

Todoroki avoided eye-contact, his face tinted red, "Thank you, Inasa. You're cute when you smile, also." He took a strawberry, adding a bit of whip cream before offering it to Inasa, who smiled wide and leaned down to bite it until Todoroki shoved it in his mouth.

Inasa pouted, tucking himself into the corner of the dining room with his back facing Todoroki, who regretted his teasing.

"Inasa, don't pout. I was just teasing," Todoroki begged, holding up a strawberry as he kneeled next to Inasa. "I'm sorry." Inasa kept his ground, his cheeks puffed out. "Inasa..."

Inasa tried ignoring Todoroki, but he couldn't once he saw the solemn expression he wore, sighing before taking the strawberry and eating it, drawing Todoroki into a warm hug.

"It's impossible to stay mad at you when you make that face," Inasa admitted, brushing loose strands of red hair from Todoroki's eye. "You're just so cute!!" He kissed him, ruffling his hair as Todoroki whined, glaring at him. "Even when you're mad, it's cute!"

Todoroki sighed, giving up on trying to be angry, "Is there anything I do that isn't cute?"

"Nope!"

Todoroki smiled, standing as Inasa did the same. He buried his face into Inasa's chest, feeling arms secure around his waist with a hand playing in his hair, "I don't deserve you. You're too...energetic and perfect."

"And I don't deserve someone as gentle as you, but I still won't let you go!!" Inasa picked up Todoroki, who gasped and wrapped his arms around Inasa's neck, fearing he'd fall. "I'm lucky to have gotten to you before anyone else!"

Todoroki felt warm inside as he laid his head on Inasa's shoulder, closing his eyes, "I'm lucky to have you, as well, Inasa. You're-" He yawned, tears pricking his eyes- "too nice for your own good."

"Hey hey, don't go to sleep! If you do, then I won't be able to take you home! Not like I want you to go anyway..." Inasa chuckled awkwardly, lightly tapping Todoroki's cheek to wake him up. "We can do something to wake you up! How about a little stroll around town? Just the two of us?"
