The next arrival doesn't make you wait too long as a familiar heterochromatic face reveals itself at the door.
"Heya, sugah!" You rush Shoto as soon as you spot him, wringing that faint smile out of him in the process. Another victory. "Ah wouldn't've been surprised if ya skipped class today. Ain't nothin' but the ceremony and break plans scheduled."
>"Good morning, Ushi." He answers back, then stops to look at you for a moment. Not a head to toes scan or ogling, but a longer-than-brief gaze straight into your eyes. Or is there just something on your face? "Same could be said for you. I didn't expect to see you in such a good mood."
"Can't just simmer on it, ya know." You reply and lean closer while jokingly stick your tongue out. Just an inch of it. "It'd be a bit hypocritical of me, nyo~?"
While your playful remark gets you little more than a twitch at the side of his mouth, Shoto takes the moment as a chance to lean in closer too.
>"I looked up what we talked about. I'll tell you about it after school is over." He says softly, with more secrecy than you'd ever thought was necessary.
"Sure, we'll… catch up on the way to your house." You nod. You hadn’t given much thought to your training with Endeavor this past week, but you assume that it would continue right on into the summer. "With any luck, <span class="mu-s">he</span> won’t spoil the rest of the day."
>"Don't count on it, it's the one thing he's always been number one at." Shoto leaves you gawking as he moves away from your side and towards his desk.
"...That, was a joke!" You point out, grinning with pride.
>"A fact, rather." He corrects you. His tone is as flat as ever and yet it sounds just a bit cheeky to you.
"It can be both!" You shoot back with a short titter, emphasizing your point with a finger gun towards him. Seeing Shoto not troubled by his own villainous encounter, and even lighthearted, has you tickled pink. If you didn't have the rest of the class to greet, you probably would have spent a good while longer teasing him about his newly discovered sense of humor.
