I saw these and they reminded me of the leaves around town back home. Do you have the same thing happen where you're from? I also tried your trick of a cool pillow. It's very nice.

Oh wow! Good morning Shoto-kun I'm glad you slept well.

I just woke up so my eyes are a little blurry but this is really pretty!

Ha! Seeing Sakura first thing in the morning like this? Sure does make me miss seeing it back home yup! Did you ever go to a Sakura festival? I always wanted to but never had the chance.

Oh! You did!? And!? Did it work!?!

Good morning.

[Did he say that already? Yes. Is he going to reiterate it, too late also yes.]

I'm glad you like it. I didn't get to go to a festival, but my Highschool had Sakura trees on the grounds. Seeing the way they would fly in the air and glide along so gracefully off of already beautiful trees? Maybe we should see if they have something like that here. We could go. Even if it isn't Sakura trees.

[It means a lot to him to hear that, too, or rather read it. He put a lot of effort into picking something meaningful.]

It did work well. I was able to sleep better, even if I couldn't control the temperature like I'm used to. I just slept closer to the window. I slept much better than I usually do. Thank you.

[ It's fine, Yuta sometimes repeats himself too. ]

I love it! It's a shame I can't print it out somehow and put it on my bedside table or wall for when I wake up each day. Don't think they have printers here for some reason. Then again, it would probably be a waste of a wish to ask for one huh?

Oh wow, your high school had Sakura trees? Jujutsu High was set up in the mountains with a temple and everything but I never really got to explore it that much...

[ Yuta appreciates the care and craft that it must have taken Shoto to do this. Also, the fact that he was in the other boy's thoughts enough that he would do this for him in the first place. He's very touched by it. ]

Oh great! I'm glad it worked, I doubted myself almost right away after telling you to try it. I dunno, I just felt like it was something stupid only I do, y'know?

[...Yuta is so easy to talk to. Shoto really enjoys talking to him and the idea that someone likes something that he gets ragged on all the time for-- Bakugo has snapped at him about it. Yuta wants to print it out and put it on his bedside? ...Would it be a waste of a wish? That'll be on his mind, too.]

I don't think I've seen anyone with a printer.

[But he's gonna definitely keep his eyes out now.]

Yes we had a lot of things that I liked at UA scenery wise. I think it would've been interesting to have a shrine, though. Do you think there are temples here too? There have to be, but I mean ones like your school had?

[Maybe not for the same reasons but. You know.]

I don't think it was stupid. You were trying to help me, even if it didn't work you still tried.

[ He is? Huh... Maybe it really is easier to talk to people without Rika around- But that's something he doesn't want to focus on. As much as he loves her, he knows how much she holds him back... After all, he even distanced himself from his own family for her... But yes! Shoto's art is something he wants to keep and look at to start his day! It was gifted to him without request, so Shoto must have put a lot of thought into it! ]

I don't know why I suggested a printer, I doubt anyone has ever wished for something like that. Maybe I could just wish to have a physical copy of it?

Oh, I am certain there are temples here! Maybe somewhere in the Labyrinth itself? I'd love to go exploring it but Maki would beat me up if I went off alone in there again. I went missing for weeks first time I took a solo walk in there... Won't make that mistake again.

[ He just remembers the temple and its binding rooms, the place he would have been taken to get executed if it wasn't for Gojo-sensei. ]

I think the trick is to try and sleep on one end of your pillow too, if that makes sense? Then when you flip it over, the other end hasn't been exposed to your body heat so it's way cooler.

[Aside Rika, which is a highly, highly paid compliment- it can't even be an 'if Shoto knew' because he's right here wishing for physical copies or printers and it brings a small upturn of Shoto's lips for someone to be that serious.]

For now you have this one, at least. If it gets lost, I can make another one. I wouldn't mind.

I'm not sure who Maki is, but if you want to explore and not do it on your own, I'll go with you. We can plan a bit ahead and then will be prepared. Then maybe they will be more calm. However, if you are being beaten by someone, my door is open to you. I live with other people but I could offer you my room at least. I'd come help you move so they couldn't hurt you.

[However, there goes Yuta giving good advice again!]

I will try that portion of it tonight. That seems like really sound logic.

[ It's a shame this is via text then, or Yuta might have been gifted a glimpse at said smile. ]

Ha! Don't day that! That makes it really tempting to say I've lost it so you make me another one.

Oh! You haven't met Maki? She's a friend from back home, you might have seen her training in the mornings sometimes. Tall, short hair, covered in scars? Always looks like she's going to yell at someone?

I would love to explore the labyrinth with you Shoto-kun! Maybe the next time it opens up some rooms we could try and go in together? -Oh! Oh, no no, Maki isn't beating me she's just, a lot stronger, and well, I do stupid things that worry here now and then is all! I promise it's all good! But thanks, I'll remember I can call you if I'm ever in trouble.

[ Shoto just offered him his room to go sleep in should he need it. That... That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for him. ]

Please do! It's bound to work!

[OH HE LIKES THEM? More than just that one? Shoto stews over it for a moment, remembering some of the less than stellar receptions for his creations. But...]

No I haven't, I'll keep my eyes open for her, though. I know someone who also looks like they're going to yell at someone. The likelihood is that they will yell at someone, but it's out of good intention.

I'd like that. I think it sounds like we're both experienced in combat at least, so it would be nice to go with you. The next time they open, we'll go. It's decided.

Oh. I see. I'm sorry, I misinterpret things often but you can rely on me. Please reach out if you need help. The time of day doesn't matter. Or... Even if it isn't because of needing a safe place, would you like to come over some time and we can find some games to play. Or we could practice hand to hand in the yard, that's fine too.

[ He does like them! very much so! Yuta never had anyone to share something, even as simple as this with, Rika wouldn't have allowed it and besides, he didn't have any friends growing up soo.... ]

Ah! The moon!? And is that the sea? I've not seen the sea in some time, thats so clever Shoto-kun, you're really good at this. Ah, I wish there was something I could do in return...Hmm, all I know to do is this; <3 but even then it's pretty lame huh, sorry.

It seems we both know someone with a lot more pep them us huh? Maybe it says a lot about us as people haha!

You'll really come with me? It's decided! Haha I'm excited now! I don't think I've ever been excited to go into the labyrinth before until now. And yes, I have some training in combat too. Would be better if I had some cursed energy to use but I'm sure between us we should have be alright, right?

[ Wait... Hold on... Yuta re-reads that last part over and over, covering his mouth and practically blushing from joy as he does. Dod Shoto-kun just invited him over to play games?! ]

Yes! Absolutely yes! I will come over!

[He is clever?? Maybe he just sent the wrong kind of thing to other people. Yuta is so supportive and it's kind. Oh or is that a rating on it? Less than th...wait. Oh that's...]

I don't think it's lame. That's a heart right? On its side? I've only seen it on the internet back home.

I like energetic people. They're usually more honest than people who are quiet and never speak up. Body language isn't hard to read but it isn't always accurate.

[That Yuta is excited to go with him makes Shoto happy, too. He hasn't been very happy here at all, not in the least, everything is on its head and the people closest to him he doesn't know how to connect with. Everyone aside Toya has been hard for him to figure out what to say, not always on their end either. But Yuta? Different story.]

Of course I will. You're my friend, Yuta-kun. I think we'll be fine. It's good to not rely on our abilities alone and with both of us we'll be able to assess what we need to do.

[The last part has him metaphorically sweating. He's never really invited someone over on his own, the last people over to his house were at his sister's behest.]

Good then. After we're done in the Labyrinth, we can come back to my room and we'll find games on the way home. Even some food we may like?

[ Oh, Shoto thinks that quiet people are the least trustworthy? Yuta has been described as quiet! But that's mostly because Rika didn't like anyone chatting to him not because he was trying to deceive anyone! ]

It is a heart yes. Sorry, that's kinda lame sending a heart.

Ah, I guess I like energetic people too, or well, I think I do, I don't really know many people to compare if I'm being honest.

[ Yuta gets it. It was like that for him back home. He didn't know how to connect with the people in his class, everything was so overwhelming but being here he realized he was capable of making friends or well, trying to point and case with Shoto! ]

Yeah, you're right. We should be fine! Sticking together I can have your back and you can have mine, like friends are supposed to.

[ If only Shoto could see how happy it made him to be called his friend. It even brought a tear to his eye. ]

That sounds awesome! I've never been over to anyone's room before! You should come over to mine next time!
