Royal Milk Tea
All Might gave her a sweet smile as he told her, "oh it doesn't matter where we go..." scratching the side of his cheek he looked off a bit shyly as he mumbled out, "just as long as I'm with you..." Ah...did he say that out loud just now? Oh, now he was blushing! He could feel his cheeks burn slightly as he glanced back at Mela, wondering what her reaction to that would be. At her insistence of not buying her share, All Might pouted just the tiniest bit. But he wanted to shower his girlfriend with gifts! But if she insists, then he won't go forcefully buying her things. Though certainly, she'll accept a little gift from him? Ehe. With that in mind, All Might wandered off to get something for Mela and also for Ruka and Todoroki. He did wish to get on Ruka's good side. He's seen the way the Pinkette glowered at Aizawa-kun. All Might did not want anything like that between him and Mela's best friend who was also basically like a sister! According to Mela herself. Shaking aside his worried thoughts, All Might looked over to see how Mela was doing only to see Hatori speaking with her. Seeing her blush, All Might couldn't help but wonder what the two were talking about. Did Hatori find something to tease Mela about? He couldn't help but be curious.
After purchasing his own batch of sweets and with some persuading, All Might was also able to buy Hatori's load of gifts. If they were for his family as well, then he was all the more glad to buy them. Who wouldn't be glad about a gift from the number one hero himself, right? Well, at least he hoped they would enjoy it. At Mela's suggestion, the three went out and sat down on the benches, enjoying the last bit of the sunny afternoon. All Might sat on one end while Hatori sat on the other, sandwiching Mela in the middle of them. He took out a daifuku and took a bite of it, enjoying the taste of the red beans. Ah, yes. This place was definitely the best for its red beans! He smiled slightly as he looked up at the sky, but at the mention of the meddling Momiji Shounen, he glanced over at Mela only to meet her shy gaze. That, in turn, caused a chain reaction of him blushing slightly as All Might can only nod his head. Ah yes...they did have to thank Momiji Shounen for that huh? He gave Mela a smile as he nodded his head a bit more firmly this time, "yes, will you thank him for us, Hatori-kun?" All Might smiled over at the doctor, having a feeling that the keen-eyed Hatori already knew what was going on between him and Mela.
After conversing a bit longer with Hatori, the doctor received a call from Yuki and with a rather large sigh, Hatori excused himself. All Might smiled as he shook hands with Hatori while saying, "your cousins along with Honda Shoujo are all exceptional and wonderful people. I can't wait to see their growth. Please, come by anytime. U.A. and I welcome you all anytime." With a wave, All Might watched Hatori walk off before turning to Mela. He gave her a soft smile as he murmured out, "did you have a good time today?" It was hard for him to keep his hands to himself, but he wanted Mela to enjoy her time with everyone. Now that they are alone...they can now enjoy their time together, right? Alone, right? Right.

Hatori smile widened a bit more when he saw Mela get all embarrassed when he pointed out the obvious. Well, it was obvious to him the type of relationship Mela and All Might had. Find someone else huh? Hatori wondered if that was even possible. Love was something far out of his reach though perhaps the saying that time heals all may be true for his case. At least, he can smile a bit more compared to a few years ago. Somehow seeing Mela's smile, it painfully reminded him of someone he once held dear to himself, but no...that was the past. Smiling back at Mela, he told her in a soft murmur, "ah yes...I hope so too." Though did he really? He wasn't sure. But he knew one thing, it was never right to erase any memory or at least thats what he keeps telling himself. Feeling someone's gaze on them, Hatori turned to see All Might looking a bit too sulky for a grown man. He held back a sigh, wondering what it was with grown adults appearing like a child in his eyes. He seemed to only attract those types of friends it seemed like.
He shook his head lightly as he smiled ever so softly, but it wasn't a bad thing, he supposed. After picking out a few more gifts for the rest of his family, Hatori went to go make the purchase when All Might came over and offered to buy his items. Hatori gave him a blank stare and was about to politely refuse when All Might's way too bright of a smile or was that a pout? Began to glare into his eyes...with a surrendering sigh, Hatori gave in. He wasn't sure which was brighter, the smile or the pout. Thanking the hero with a polite nod of his head and a smile, Hatori followed the pair out towards the benches. Taking a seat beside Mela, he took out a small cake carved into the shape of a cherry blossom. He stared at the beautiful little treat before taking a bite of it. The sweet yet slightly bitter taste of the red beans flourished into his mouth as he bit into it. Mmm..yes, this was good.
Hatori nodded his head in agreement to Mela's words, "yes, these will be wonderful gifts. Thank you once again, All Might...and to you too, Uede-san." He smiled over at the pair and when she mentioned Momiji, Hatori blinked. What has his younger cousin done this time around? But with even All Might thanking him, somehow Hatori had a feeling that Momiji actually did a good deed for once. He smiled slightly as he nodded his head, "Momiji can come off as a troublemaker, but he means well..." The three made some small talk for a bit longer when Hatori's phone rang. Answering the call, Hatori frowned slightly before letting out a deep sigh. It was a call from Yuki and it seemed like his friends and cousins caused quite the mess. Standing up, Hatori bowed to the two as he told them, "it was wonderful spending time with you two and I appreciate you for showing me to this store, but it seems like I must be going now." What has Shigure done this time? Hatori smiled back at All Might as he shook the taller male's hand, "thank you...and likewise. If you are ever in Tokyo, feel free to stop by, the Sohma's will welcome you two anytime...well then, please have a wonderful day together." Hatori's lone eye swept over to Mela. He gave her a soft smile as he rested his hand on top of her head for the briefest of moments, "thank you..." Speaking with her brought back some memories that he has long forgotten. Memories of old but they were sweet. Much like Mela herself.

It wasn't his fault! Yukito didn't even know Ayame was going to be in town. He happened to be in Musutafu for the week but it was all business and he barely had time to rest that he couldn't even go drop by and greet his sweet Ru-chan! The darn sports festival for U.A. was taking a toll on him plus the other business partners that he had made in Musutafu. Everyone wanted his ideas and designs for the upcoming events. There were many requests to change the costumes for many schools and Yukito had his hands full. So when he received a call from Ayame which coincidentally included the exchange students at U.A., well how could Yukito say no to that? Using Ayame as an excuse to go and take a break, Yukito has gone off to meet up with his silver-haired friend and fellow designer only to find out Ayame wasn't alone. Meeting his two cousins, Yukito knew Shigure was trouble, Hatori would be no threat, but the other dog-like male was definitely trouble. Yukito could smell it and now it became true! Why of all girls did Shigure must be intrigued by Ruka!?
Trying not to grumble as his patience was wearing thin, Yukito searched the bookstore but found no sign of Ruka's cotton candy pink hair. Meeting up with the other two, he can only sigh as he was very tempted to glare at Ayame as well. But no...his friend surely wouldn't lie...right? Yukito eyed his friend suspiciously but they searched the entire bookstore, there was no way Shigure can hide along with Ruka who was probably struggling, right? Right. Following after Shoto, Yukito walked up to the younger male as he spoke up, "just so you know, I didn't know Shigure and the others were coming. I only had plans on meeting with Ayame-kun...not someone as impudent as Shigure." Yukito let out a slight scoff at the mention of Shigure. Hopefully, Ruka was alright. "If you don't burn him, I'll beat him up first." Yukito glared at nothing in particular. Shoto may have not witnessed Yukito's quirk before, so maybe today would be a good day? Ehe. The three arrived at the bookstore after a while. It took a bit longer than he liked since it was in the completely opposite direction from the other bookstore. Yukito stared up at it silently, "they better be here..." he muttered out as he went inside.

Looking around at all the shelves lined with books, Ruka wondered with slight excitement if there were any good books that she could possibly get her hands on here? Maybe one that she and Shoto can read together? Though she really couldn't help but ask Shigure why her of all people. Ruka wasn't used to people showering her with praise or anything good really. Not until recently that is. Even before it was only Mela and Yukito who would praise her so it was just hard for her to really believe what others say of her. Especially flowering words such as Shigure's. Her brows furrowed at his words and when he leaned in closer, Ruka inched back slightly until her back hit the shelf. Feeling him grab her chin once more, Ruka felt helpless as she stared into his darkly colored orbs. Her bright blue one contrasted greatly with his, heck her entire appearance was the complete opposite of his. She was all bright while he was dark, yet somehow their personalities were the opposite of that.
Blinking slightly, Ruka opened her mouth to refute that Shoto does compliment her well. But as Shigure began to praise her, well she couldn't help but get flustered. A-ah...what was he saying? No one ever really spoke of her like that before. It was as if she was reading a line from a book. Oh...so this is how authors are like huh? Somehow, even the words they spoke sounded like it came right out of a book! How fascinating! She felt like she was reading an excerpt from a book and now she was more curious about his books. If he can capture her attention with just a few praising words, well she can only assume his books are interesting too. Her mouth opened and closed as she felt quite flustered, "S-Shigure-san!" She averted her gaze from him as she mumbled out, "t-that's not true!...Shoto does give me compliments too..." In his own way he does. Right? Or was she just taking it the wrong way? But no no, Shoto definitely compliments her, maybe not like how Shigure does, but Shoto does too!....right? Not wanting to think too much into it, she let her light hues follow his hand to see a shelf behind Shigure that held the books that he supposedly wrote.
Ah, finally she can see what sort of books he wrote. Curious, she walked over to the shelves and blinked. The titles and the covers were...interesting to say the least. But she really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, right? Picking one up, Ruka stared down at it as the cherry blossoms on the cover caught her attention. It reminded her of the time when she and Shoto talked under the blooming cherry tree. They weren't dating yet, and it was just the start of their friendship, but perhaps since way back then, Shoto has caught her eye? Ruka smiled slightly at that memory and looked over at Shigure, asking him, "what sort of story does this one entail?" Cherry blossoms usually meant spring which also meant the start of things? She didn't know it herself, but currently on the first floor of the three-story bookstore was her King, one who constantly was on her mind.
