What's a date? [Itsuki & Momo]

Itsuki was sitting back quietly on the train, looking out the window at the passing scenery. There was nothing too spectacular to look at, but sitting this way he could see most of the train car, and what he didn't see was the doors onto the train. As the train moved, those didn't matter so he stayed put. However when the train came to a stop and the doors did open, Itsuki looked over from his perch to find Momo stepping onto the train and coming towards him. He offered her a smile as she came to sit with him, thanking him for coming along on day out with her.

"Sure, I don't get to spend much time with my coworkers outside the school, so I thought it could be a good opportunity to get to know you and maybe treat you to lunch. I owe you ya know, after having made me so many yourself."
He stated kindly as the doors to the train would then close and the pair would be off again towards their destination. It wasn't a long train ride at least, so there was little risk the two would fall into an awkward lul of conversation... okay, with Itsuki that was still bound to happen but the window of time for it to occur was shorter.

"You look great by the way. It's like seeing a whole new you when we aren't formally dressed. Well... less formally"
He stated with a nervous chuckle as he had dressed himself rather formally. It was a hard habit to fall out of for him... he was either dressed casual, or in his hero gear. Considering he didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, he had dressed casual. This included nice looking dress pants and a pressed white collared shirt opened slightly at the neck. He damn well near put the tie on, but had actually taken the time to burn the thing before leaving. The more he could destroy of that life, the better.

Itsuki couldn't help but smile as she admitted to loving the fact that she cooked for him. She'd just spilled the beans on herself, her own words told him that she made the food for him, and she didn't just give him the leftovers like she claimed. he didn't mention it so as to not be rude, but he did store that bit of information for later. Instead, his smile would soon turn into a bit of a nervous chuckle as she told him that he looked good.

His cheeks started to change color as he got a bit flustered, never the ladies man his brother was or really all that good in dealing with the opposite sex when it wasn't just him boasting about himself after an arrest. He had to try and steel his nerves, sucking in a breath as he pushed himself to his feet when the train finally came to another stop.

"Thanks, I honestly haven't worn this stuff in years, I'm surprised it still fit really. I figured people would treat us differently if I just showed up in my usual getup."
He admitted, hating the clothes but loving the compliment. He would extend his hand towards Momo to help her up as well as they had arrived so soon to their destination. He would escort her off of the train before speaking up about what he needed to get. Honestly there were a bunch of things he wanted to get, but none of them were for him. He'd picked up on a few of his students weaknesses, and wanted to make sure they were all ready to cover them... he was a survivalist after-all and wanted his students to be prepared.

"Oh I'm not 100% sure of the exact things I'll need. But I'm sure I'll know what they are when I see them. I want to make sure the 1-B kids are as ready as they can be for the sports festival, so I'm going to keep an eye out on any new shops that might cater to quirkers."
He explained as they walked. He would let Hatsumomo lead the way however, as unlike him, she seemed to have a better idea of what she wanted to get.

Itsuki couldn't help but chuckle at Hatsumomo's comment of pushing fan girls off of him. Honestly, the man was such a ham in front of the camera there was no question there was a fan club or two out there. He didn't pay them much mind though, so long as they respected his privacy he would continue to let them operate their sometimes creepy obsessions. He'd made an appearance more than once at those clubs, simply to keep himself known as a popular hero. Having worked with the military, he had heard rumblings about popularity affecting a hero's career somehow, so he was planning on getting a head start on that.

"Honestly, even a Hero needs a Hero sometimes. And those fangirls are scaaaary."
He admitted with another chuckle as he walked alongside the green skinned woman, still holding her hand more so because he just completely forgot to let it go. It wouldn't bother him until someone would mention it, then he'd probably get pretty flustered. For now though he just continued to lead the way towards the shops.

"I've heard of a few businesses who were starting to make quirker gear... though I haven't been in to try any of them myself, since the school provides everything we really need. I'd be curious to see what kind of gear they're making... if it's full on Hero outfits or more every day stuff that can be used by various quirk types."
He noted curiously as he led her rather mindlessly. If Hatsumomo didn't stop him, he'd probably walk right past all the shops without really noticing. he was simply enjoying the walk with her.

She was being so cute, it was weird that the man wasn`t able to come to term with his feelings for the woman. She was always there for him since the moment that they met. She was kind, hell she started feeding him the instant she found out he had a shitty diet, and she was even going out with him like this. It couldn`t be any more spelled out for the young adult, and yet still... Itsuki jsut didn`t understand his own feelings on the matter.

When he was young, everything had been pre-arranged in terms of his engagement, who he was and wasn`t aloud to see and interract with. Dating had never been a thing in his life! So even when he acted like a ham for the camera, he didn`t see it as flirtatious, only acting to improve his own image.

Well, what he did know was that he liked being out with her like this. He just kept a smile on his face as they made their way through the crowds. Once the amount of people started to diminish, he would slow down to let Hatsumomo take the lead. She knew where she was going, so it was easier for him to just follow. When she apologised though, he tilted his head curiously as he looked at her.

"Why are you sorry? I gave you my number so you can text me any time. Doesn`t have to be school related or anything. I`m glad to help you any way I can. Besides, I`m always having fun with you around."
He admitted without thinking about it, still just smiling as the two walked on. He came to a sudden halt however as they passed a shop displaying several types of quirker gear. This didn`t look like the run of the mill stuff for civilians either, but more like a military outlook store.

"Do you mind if we stopped in real quick?"
He asked of Hatsumomo, leading her into the shop once he got the okay. His eyes immediately lit up as he looked over the various types of hand held weapons they were selling alongside the different armor and gear aimed towards Heroes. It was like his eyes were suddenly alive with light as he looked over both the male, and female items.

"I swear they are coming out with so many cool designs now that Hero society is getting bigger. I can`t wait to see what kind of stuff they will come up with in the future... I wonder what would be good to get the kids..."

He led her inside with barely more than a smile sprawled on his lips. Honestly the man was acting like a kid being allowed to walk into a candy store. Anything Hatsumomo said to him fell on deaf ears, not only because of the crowds noise level, but because the raven haired man was too focused on the gear now within reach.

As they walked inside, Itsuki finally let go of Hatsumomo's hand, only to find himself reaching for a set of blue bracers. They were way too small for him, but might fit one of the students he had been mentoring... At least, if it proved to be useful. He picked up the description card and read it over, a look of intrigue on his face as he turned over to Hatsumomo. He paused though as Hatsumomo's words struck him as odd.

"So what if it turned you green? No two quirks are exactly the same, and they're very, very vast. I couldn't imagine you in any other color, honestly."
He said without missing a beat, turning only to put the gauntlets back on the shelf before putting his hand on Hatsumomo's shoulder. There was a concerned look on his face as his free hand pushed her hair more fittingly behind her ear.

"I only need gear because I'm out there every night, fighting against that very same unknown. If I had full confidence in myself or my quirk, I might not need that gear. It's just a tool, no different than a helmet you put on when you go biking."
He tried to reassure her, feeling a sudden urge to hug her tightly, but maybe he was making a bigger deal out of this than he should be? Maybe he had misunderstood her tone, but he was sure he'd heard a bit of sadness to it, and he hated to see people hate themselves because of the quirk they were born with.
