No idea.
It's a long shot, but it might be worth it to go down there again just to see if they're willing to talk now that they recognize us.
[Izuku, you literally just got back from getting kidnapped. Sit down.]

[Maybe it's because it's Midoriya that Aizawa's shoulders sag in relief before he realizes what he's doing. It's no secret that this student in particular is a magnet for trouble, and the amount of times he's attracted danger is more than enough to discourage most. Still, his expression remains pinched, especially when Midoriya continues on a vein that's downright perplexing.
However, he wonders if it was simply a case of 'losing track of time' or if there's a more hefty explanation connected to the previous contradictions they've come across when they were piecing together everyone's memories.]
How long did it feel for you? [He settles with after a noticeable pause.] Two days is a long time to lose track of.

I'm glad we did, too, Arisato-kun. [He smiles at him from across the table.]
It feels like I know you a little better now.

[It's pleasant to just listen to Minato talk about his home. Minato's not only quiet on most days, but he doesn't seem to share things about himself very easily, unless prompted.
His lips curl slowly into a smile.]
Sometimes that happens--meeting someone who changes your life completely. Are the two of them close now?

It worked out in the end, though! They didn't actually hurt us or anything.
Besides, I don't mean RIGHT NOW... I think both of my teachers would kill me if I ran off again so soon.

Maybe a day, at most? [Izuku presses his thumb into his bottom lip for a moment, trying to recall.] It's hard to tell when you're concentrating on finishing the task they've given you, and there's no clock around to check.
We did lose consciousness between Akashi-san's bubble popping and waking up in the underwater caves, though. Maybe we were out for a lot longer than we thought.

[He smiles softly in greeting when the door opens to reveal Izuku. At the question he shakes his head.]
No, nothing's going on, I just wanted to talk about something and...see how you're doing, is all.
[When the door's opened enough he steps into the other boy's room.]
How's your arm?

[ thanks to this conversation, Izuku will receive a folded card by his door that looks like this:
with no extra note or text. That's it. ]

[As soon as Izuku finds the card (and freaks out over it a little), Jake's getting a message in his inbox.]
English-kun, how did you know about Shouto and me???

[Oops, kneejerk reaction. That was a bit rude, wasn't it?]
It was really thoughtful of you to make a card, though. Thank you.

Okay. [Finally, his smile returns. If Shouto says it's good enough, then he must mean it.
His worries evaporated, the giddiness returns and Izuku throws his arms around Shouto again.]
I like you, Shouto. [He's just going to say it again, because he actually can, now. And you know, just in case Shouto wanted to hear it again.]

I know... [Shouto's not wrong!!]
What can I do to make it up to you?

I can do that.
[Izuku curls his arms around Shouto, closing his eyes as he rests their heads together.]

[Cheek kisses and forehead kisses seem safe enough, even though they still make Izuku blush. Anything more than that would probably make him short-circuit...for now, at least. Izuku would like to kiss Shouto eventually--ahhh, he's just glad he was already blushing, or Shouto might wonder what he was thinking about. Time to change the subject!
Izuku clears his throat a little, in a totally not obvious way (it's obvious).]
H-hey, Shouto? How did you figure it out? I just realized it a couple days ago.

[Oh, one day they're definitely going to have a for real, lip to lip kiss. But... that's not today. Not when it's still something new and precious and Shouto's still unsure what he can and can't do.
Best to stay cautious.]
I was talking to Okuyasu over the network.
[Which means: Everybody saw Shouto's epiphany.]

[It doesn't even occur to Izuku that it might've been public at first.]
Nijimura-kun...? What did he say?
[And now he's pulling back juuust enough to look at Shouto's face. He's so curious.]

[Oh... Oh no.]
He asked me if I was into you and then he asked if I thought you were cute. Of course I did, I'm not blind.
And then he said when you went missing I was freaking out the same way he did over Uraraka.
That's when I realized and came back here.
