You mean....d-dating? [It's embarrassing, the way he trips over that word. Small wonder that he does, though. Friendship is already new and precious enough to him--and sometimes Izuku still can't believe that he has so many people who actually seem to care about him now. And if friendship had felt like a miracle already, then dating, having someone who liked him romantically seemed completely out of reach.

Shouto's words are a lot to take in, though Izuku tries his best to put together a coherent response.] If you...really want us to be, then... I-I'd like that. [He tries not to look too hopeful.] I mean...I'm just me. I'm nothing special.

[Are you sure this isn't a mistake, his expression seems to ask. After years upon years of being told that he's esentially worthless, Izuku has a hard time believing that someone could want him that way.]
