[Meanwhile Shouto clings tighter to Midoriya's shirt. He'd be much happier using Midoriya as a very large teddy bear than letting him leave the nest of blankets.]
[Alright, so this isn't going to work. Part of him's incredibly amused by Todoroki's clinginess, even if he's stumped by how he's going to escape now.]
Todoroki-kun. [He says again, a smile tugging at his lips when he sees the state of Todoroki's hair. The red and white strands, normally so impeccably organized by color, have become a mess during sleep. And since Todoroki doesn't seem in a hurry to wake up, Izuku sighs and begins gently sorting some of the strands to the side they belong on while he waits.]
[Very slowly he starts to wake up. He doesn't really want the gently hands in his hair to stop, but light is starting to hit them. The motion also starts to coax him into wakefulness.
Somewhere around ten minutes he actually cracks his eyes open.
He still hasn't let go of Midoriya's shirt and he's not quite all the way awake yet.]
[For a moment, Izuku wavers, torn between doing what Todoroki's asking and also his own embarrassment at being caught doing something that he probably wasn't supposed to do. At least Todoroki doesn't seem to mind it too much...
Slowly, Izuku lowers his hand again, though his touch is lighter and more uncertain before.]
I'll try to find one for you the next time I go looking for supplies.
[Sitting here like this, watching Todoroki practically drift off makes Izuku feel both warm and pleased. It's hard to think that a while ago, Todoroki had been so closed off to everyone in their class.]
Mmm just normal things we can use. And first aid supplies for the clinic, too.
[By now he's already sorted Todoroki's hair to their proper sides, but he continues running his fingers gently through his friend's hair anyway, careful not to mess up his work.]
I'm a little surprised. [He murmurs quietly. He's hoping he doesn't scare Todoroki off by saying this, but...he's curious.] I didn't think you'd like anyone touching you like this.
[Not that he's complaining. Aside from his mom, hugs and other kinds of physical affection are rare for him. It's nice, knowing that Todoroki trusts him enough to let him close.]
[And, wow, if that doesn't make tear up just a little.]
Oh. [He says softly, because there doesn't seem to be anything adequate to put his feelings into words. All he knows is that he doesn't ever want to let Todoroki feel like this trust is misplaced.]

You don't have to be shy about it.

Must take a while to get both colors all on the right side. [He says, amused, even as he carefully moves some red strands over to the left.]
no subject
It takes a while... Especially here. I miss having a comb.

[Shouto is a lapful of warm cat right now, with no desire to leave their nest of blankets.]

[But not just yet.
Instead he hums and considers that. It's true he doesn't like most people touching him.]

[Wrapped up in blankets and pillows.
Well, he's said what he wanted to. So he closes his eyes and goes back to enjoying Midoriya petting him.]
