“Yeah, though I’m sure they are all hurrying to put out all of the winter items.” The weather had changed so quickly, he doubted that many businesses were prepared. The instant they switched the items out, however, they would excel in sales.

Zuko nodded in understanding, it sounded familiar. In fact, it truly wasn’t all that different from what he did himself. “I’m the same. I need to keep in shape for the military, but there’s a lot I of techniques I train with simply because I learned them when I was young and I don’t want to lose that skill.” He thought some days that it felt like he was trained how to fight before he was ever taught anything else. “I struggle to take a break sometimes myself. It’s easy to forget to relax.” // @shcvtcs

“What kind of techniques do you use? Maybe you use something I haven’t learned yet.” Most of what he learned was more martial arts and defense based, but he assumed with the military he probably covered a wider range than he did. It never hurt to learn more either and Shouto’s always liked having options. It was a perk from being on his own now. He could think for himself.

“We should train sometime.” He offered. “You teach me, I teach you and then we can just spar.” Shouto figured it’d be a good trade off and they’d be able to see how skilled the other actually was. Not that he doubted Zuko’s abilities, but it’s different seeing them than being told about them. // @zukoyu​

“Of course it did!” Slapping his stomach for emphasis, Sun grinned at the other man, his crayon momentarily forgotten. If he was going to lie his ass off to the begin with, he may as well double down. Make the story something really worth telling, and hopefully, just that little bit crazy enough it was believable, “Right up ‘til Neptune tried to help. Poor guy, had to buy him ice cream after just to fix his confidence.”

@shcvtcs

His doubt got worse and his expression started to reflect that. Shouto just wasn’t... that impressed, but he reminded himself people had different tastes so someone had to consider Sun’s abs distraction worthy. He guessed. “What did Neptune try to do?” Maybe Neptune’s idea was a bit more practical or something. Or maybe Neptune tried to use his own abs too and it was just a failing plan altogether. // @stupiddumbnecktrap​

A small sound escaped his lips, it was something akin to a laugh. He had never been the type to loudly express anything, let alone when he thought something was just a little bit funny. He wasn’t even sure if the comment was serious or not and so, for once, he was grateful he didn’t have a boisterous laugh, he wouldn’t want to offend Shouto in any way. “I think if this continues much longer, everyone on Yen Sid will be suffocating in coats and hats.”

“Do you mean train for work? Or do you train in martial arts or something else?” Zuko asked curiously. He himself had considered going to the gym or even to the studio as something to do, but he assumed they’d be closed with the weather. He didn’t really have anything planned himself, after all, the day off work was unexpected. “I’d imagine your job can be stressful at times, I’m sure relaxing for once would be a good way to spend it.” // @shcvtcs​

“Good for local retailers though.” The hat and coat businesses would be booming if this kept up. Even he might need to buy a couple-his tolerance was way above others, but there was limits to that too. 

“All of that. Just training in general. There’s some daily workouts I do to keep me in shape for the firehouse, but I grew up learning all sorts of techniques and practices, so I train on the daily to keep up with those skills too.” His father put him through absolute hell, and as much as he resented him and his teachings the skills were useful. Plus he’d been doing them for so long it was practically routine at this point. “Sometimes, I work so much I forget how to actually relax.” // @zukoyu​

Not for a second did it cross Faybelle’s mind that maybe it was her fault she’d hit the ground, that she’d technically asked for it, and that maybe she deserved it. No, it was most definitely his fault, and she was damned well going to make sure that he knew it.

“You jackass! What is wrong with you??”

This was why she didn’t socialize. People were either awful right from the start, or they tricked you into thinking they were okay then disappeared, like Kitty.

@shcvtcs

He kept his expression neutral, unbothered by her yelling. He just chalked it up to the adrenaline of nearly falling on her face, and by technicality he did drop her. Her voice was a little grating though. Still he had a duty to do and check if she was okay. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to drop you.” He apologized, bowing his head slightly, “I meant to set you down gently.”

He didn’t try to make any excuses because he was partially at fault. Though she did insist to let go of her. “Are you okay? Do you need to go to the med-bay?” Thankfully with the olympics around, medical teams were just about everywhere. // @evilly-ever-awesome​

“Yeah, but I got counselling for mine,” Katsuki shot back drily. Sane? That fuck wasn’t fucking ‘sane’. They all have their cocktails of ‘what the fuck is wrong with me’. 

Shouto slowed down with a quiet exclamation, and Katsuki paused to turn and stare at him. The other was looking off at something, and once Shouto told him to look, Katsuki spared a glance. Watching the family and it’s dog for a moment, Katsuki raised a brow.

“The mutt?” // @shcvtcs​

“Wait for it.”

Shouto quietly insisted wanting Katsuki to see this. He always seemed to like it when he sent him pictures of things that reminded him of him. In general, he seemed more open through text than he was in person and Shouto just chalked it up to having the comfort of a ‘barrier’. The two didn’t have to see eachother face to face, and didn’t need to worry or stress about seeing the reaction of the other. That’s how he rationalized it anyways. 

The dog climbed back out of the water, seemingly catching sight of the pair in the distance. It froze for a moment before it bared its teeth at them. Really, the resemblance was uncanny. “It’s you.” // @groundzcro​

When Kitty had asked Faybelle to watch one of the events with her, she’d been hoping for something a bit more interesting than skiing. People went down a hill, big deal. She’d seen rocks do that. And when the younger woman had disappeared halfway through to hit the concessions stand, and never come back, she was seriously regretting having said yes. 

Unfortunately, she wasn’t the only one eager to get out of there, and she’d only just made it down the stairs when some brute practically shoved his way passed her. She should have been grateful when a pair of arms stopped her from taking a nasty spill, but at that point Faybelle had reached her tolerance for human interaction and then some.

“Let go of me!”

@shcvtcs

He immediately dropped her. 

There was protocol that he should’ve followed as a fireman-or as a decent person like setting them down gently. But he just... dropped her. It was just a slip of judgment-character. He’d apologize. Shouto blinked, realizing what he’d done and immediately held a hand out to the woman to help her up.

Seeing as she didn’t like being caught.

“Sorry, are you alright?” // @evilly-ever-awesome​

“Sounds good. With how cold it is, I might have to use one immediately.” It was an odd but pleasant feeling, to have a friend, especially one that didn’t know about all of his woes. It was comforting even, he enjoyed it much more than he thought he would. Having spent much of his life isolated from others, he never saw himself enjoying the company of others so much, yet here he was.

Zuko nodded in agreement, a small laugh escaping his lips. “The same goes for me.” For the time being, he didn’t mind not working. After all, Shouto was right, doing this was far more entertaining than his job could have ever been. He didn’t dislike his job but there were days that work was work, no matter how much he enjoyed it. At this point, he wasn’t entirely sure he enjoyed his job, it was just something he went to and was paid for. There were good days and bad days of course, but he largely stayed neutral. “What do you plan on doing with all the time off?” // @shcvtcs​

“You won’t be the only one looking for your winter clothes this early into the year.” Shouto cracked the joke whilst keeping a straight face. His execution for those really needed some work-not that he fully realized it. Mostly he was just trying to seem friendlier and more sociable. He wanted to move past his isolated and loner persona. The few friends he had, he wanted them to see he really was working harder to be a better person. 

“Play in the snow? Maybe train? I don’t know if I’ll be able to do much with all the roads being blocked off, and some buildings may be temporarily out of service depending on how worse the weather gets.” He paused as he rolled a sizable ball of snow nearly tall enough to reach his knees. “I may just stay inside. I haven’t had a real day off in a long time. It might be nice to just relax.” // @zukoyu​

[shcvtcs-blog]

Despite the cold sport, Shouto felt as if he was on fire right now. The adrenaline still pumping in his veins from just finishing the ice skiing portion of the Olympics. He wasn’t even on the ice for that long but it felt as if he had liquid lava in his veins. His competition well earned their place in the Olympics. He liked it, having someone who stand on equal footing with him.

He was making his way back, passing by the stands that held the audience when a shadow passed overhead. He only had a split second after he looked up to see what it was, before his body reacted on autopilot and caught a seemingly falling woman. // @evilly-ever-awesome

“I’d appreciate that.” It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to buy new ones but it didn’t hurt to not spend money if he didn’t have to. He had the space in the closet to fit a few more articles of clothing and if he got good use out of them when winter rolled around, it would have certainly been worth taking him up on his offer. 

Staring at the tiny snowman, a smile spread on his face, a feeling of accomplishment spreading through him. It wasn’t anything all that special but to him it was even if he wasn’t exactly sure of just why it mattered to him so much. He thought that maybe because it gave him a look into what a person’s childhood could be filled with, maybe all these years he had truly wanted to do all the things he missed out on despite telling himself he didn’t. “Okay, that doesn’t seem too hard.” He quickly started to gather more snow, “You probably didn’t expect to be building a snowman today but I appreciate it.” // @shcvtcs

“You can stop by my house later and you can pick which ones you like.” It was a good thing he cleaned his home yesterday. Shouto wasn’t messy by nature, but having guests over you didn’t want to set a bad example. Though, most often when people visited they were more astounded by the size of his apartment than anything else. 

Watching quietly, he forced himself to look away feeling as if he was seeing something too privy. He knew the feeling of accomplishing something personal, something that wasn’t practical and even silly, but it was a nice feeling to do it. To get that sense of ‘you actually did it’ when everything around you was telling you as if you weren’t. He realized quietly that maybe the snowman was much more important than he initially thought. Still, he was glad Zuko got to experience it. “Building snowmen is fun. It’s a lot more fun than work-which I doubt I’ll getting any with all this snow.” // @zukoyu

“Yeah! I mean, we needed a distraction, and no one can resist this,” As far back as Sun could recall, he’d never given the same explanation twice. Most people assumed it was just vanity, Neptune was under the impression he’d been so poor growing up he could afford buttons, and he’d somehow convinced Scarlet he had some medical condition the required specific parts of his torso maintain precise temperatures or he’d die. He still wasn’t quite sure how he’d managed that one, “It’s a terrible burden.”

@shcvtcs

“....Right.” Shouto was dubious, unsure if he really wanted to believe the explanation given to him. It seemed too thought out to be fake, but it also sounded like a load of bullshit. He also wasn’t sure if this guys abs were that noteworthy enough to really be considered a distraction. Sun had clearly never Iida’s thighs or Katsuki’s biceps or the way Izuku smiled. Now those could be considered distraction worthy. “Did it work?” He asked, clarifying if his abs really did distract people. // @stupiddumbnecktrap​

Scoffing, Katsuki rolled his eyes and walked on, clearly doubtful. “I’ll believe it when I hear it. You’ve never been ‘smooth’ your entire Goddamn life.” It was fucking hilarious that he actually thought he was though. The denial was fucking strong today.

“Octa- what? What he actual fuck, Todoroki? What the fuck does that even mean?” Now the bastard was just making shit up. Trying to make a point that didn’t even exist. “You’re a fucking nutjob, you know that?” // @shcvtcs​

“I’m just as sane as you are.” He quipped back, easily. He was crazy for saying he was an Octagon? That’s a low standard even for Katsuki. 

As they made their way down the hill, Shouto caught sight of a family playing by the nearby lake. It wasn’t the family that caught his eye, but rather the small figure of a puppy. It was getting out of the water, water dripping down its fur. The amusing part was that it had a vest strapped on it with a shark fin peeking out in the back. He wasn’t going to think anything of it, until the dog bared its teeth in an almost too familiar way.

“Oh,” He blinked, steps slowing down so that the family and their dog were still in view. Lifting his hand, he pointed a finger to the puppy who jumped back into the water, “Look.” // @groundzcro

“If you’ve got something to say, fucking speak up! Don’t mumble, asshole, you know I can’t hear you!” Why even open his mouth if he didn’t want Katsuki to hear it? It was bad enough when random strangers did it. Everyone needed to develop an actual backbone and stick behind what they said!

“What?” Glancing back, Katsuki narrowed his eyes in confusion. “Why the fuck do I have to be anything? I’m too good to go into any category, dipshit. I’m me.” When would Shouto Todoroki start making sense? Not fucking today apparently. // @shcvtcs​

“I said I’d be smoother than that.” He spoke up, running a hand through his hair in mild exasperation. Shouto may not have been the most flirtatious person by far, or at all really. But he liked to grant himself the credit that he’d atleast say something better than ‘Come over, we can netflix and chill.’ That wasn’t.... It was straight forward, but not his style.

“Is that so.” Sometimes it amazed him the amount of cockiness confidence Katsuki seemed to exude. Really, there was no end to it. “Octagon.” Shouto said simply as if it made any sense. Which to him it did. Not circle, not square. Just octagon. // @groundzcro​

[shcvtcs-blog]

“And that’s why you don’t wear your shirt-” Shouto glanced down at him, “-closed?”

It wasn’t his expectation to go out for a jog and be stopped by someone who couldn’t wear their shirt properly. Much over less a dropped crayon that the two of them couldn’t seem to find. It was far from public indecency, it’s just usually if someone was going to unbutton their shirt, they’d just take the entire thing off. This guy was not of that kind apparently. // @stupiddumbnecktrap

[shcvtcs-blog]

“You haven’t seen a phone around here have you?”

Shouto asked the next person to pass by. He’d accidentally dropped it during his jog and now he was running around trying to find it. It was more of a headache than anything. His phone didn’t have a lot of contacts or pictures or anything really noteworthy. It was just going to be a pain to replace is all. 

“It’s black, kind of an old model?” He hadn’t replaced it in years. It still worked so he had no reason to go out looking for a new one. // @fckecheer
