"Eh?! Come on, Sho. Don't be so hard on yourself..."

Todoroki, who wore a downtrodden exterior, was hunched over in his seat with both hands underneath his chin. His head merely twitched at the sound of the new shortened nickname, but other than that, he didn't respond.

You patted Todoroki's back, a sweat drop taking over a temporary spot on your forehead.

"There's no way you could have known that I was allergic to cats..."

Todoroki, who still chose not to say anything in response, rolled his eyes up towards the ceiling, his lips condensing into a thin line.

"You know-I appreciate the gesture though! It's the thought that counts!" You cocked your head to the side, making sure you were right in front of Todoroki's face. "And now that you know my weakness, if you tell anybody...I'll have to kill you." You joked, flashing him a honey-coated smile.

It was the kind of smile that almost made your e/c eyes vanish into slits and made wrinkles bunch up around the corners of your eyes, proof for when you became old and gray that you lived a happy and joyous life. But it was also the kind of smile that Todoroki couldn't resist.

I'd do anything to see that smile for the rest of my life... He couldn't stop the ghost of a smile that made an appearance on his own lips.

Your ear twitched, recoiling back in your own seat once you heard him exhale a breathy sigh.

"So...you're allergic to cats? But you're perfectly fine with dogs...?" His turquoise and grey eyes were skeptical, studying you and finally making eye contact with you.

You and Todoroki ended up leaving the Cat Café, due to your cat allergy before you two got your food. The two of you apologized to the waitress, who you accidentally sneezed on, and she reacted with a grossed out looking face while Todoroki simply watched the situation unfold in secret amusement.

You offered to pay for the meals that were already in the works in the kitchen, but the middle aged waitress paid no mind, courteously ushering you two out, just glad to see that the 'polite boyfriend' and his 'crazy sneezing girlfriend' weren't contaminating the café with any more germs.

By that point though, even Todoroki's stomach was growling and producing unpleasant sounds.

So, the both of you walked down the street, agreeing to go into the first open restaurant you guys found, which happened to be a Dog Café. You were both seated quickly and were able to order right away since the menu was similar to the one at the Cat Café.

"Yeah, dogs are my favorite animal!" You laughed, closing an eye when a small white curly dog hopped onto your lap and licked your cheek. "Kinda weird...right?"

Todoroki scratched the back of his head in disbelief, eyes observing the kind smile on your face while you pet the dog, who was now sitting cozily in your lap.
