pacing back and forth, glancing at the moonlit sky, then checking his watch anxiously I-I've been waiting... voice trails off You're like a shooting star...s-scarce.
rolls eyes and smirks Sweetie I had to get some drinks here..
fidgets nervously, rubbing the back of his neck O-oh...drinks? Um, w-was it something important? I mean, I don't mind waiting... I-I really don't.
Yeah but still why don’t you walk around while your wait. I should be here in a few minutes
nods eagerly, biting his lower lip Y-yeah, yeah, sure! I can do that. Anything to keep myself occupied. starts pacing again, this time with more purpose Maybe I'll find a bench to sit on or maybe even take a little stroll around the park. Who knows? The possibilities are endless! Gigati sighs, shaking her head in amusement.
See you soon love~ he would leave the garden as he goes to buy some drinks
pacing faster, practically bouncing on his toes S-sure thing, Gigati! I'll m-make the most of my time. grabs his phone and starts scrolling through social media Maybe I'll post some funny cat videos or memes to keep myself entertained. Oh, wait! I can also call Shoto and see what he's up to. He's always good for a laugh. Izuku quickly dials Shoto's number and puts the phone to his ear, giggling nervously as it rings.
Ring Ring Yoizuki answer the call
nervously fidgets with his hair while talking to Shoto H-hey there, buddy! S-so, what are you up to tonight? Any epic tricks up your sleeve? B-because I could use some entertainment. I'm feeling a bit... restless, you know? Shoto: on the other end of the line, chuckling Restless, huh? Well, lucky for you, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. How about a little magic show?
Zoso would hear the call of his two friends and listens Yoizuki pick up the call now. Zoso slams his drinks down What did Shoto say?
excitedly grabs the phone closer to his ear R-really? A magic show? That sounds awesome! Count me in, Shoto! I can use some mind-blowing tricks to distract myself. What's the first trick? Is it something cool like making someone disappear? Shoto: laughs on the other end of the line Not quite making someone disappear, but it's still pretty cool. How about I show you a card trick?
Hey Zoso I’m going put on some music okay sweetheart, I’ll come back.Zoso puts down his drink and fixes his suit before walking away. What trick was Shoto showing you?
stuttering nervously W-well, um, Shoto said he's going to show me a card trick, b-but I'm kind of s-still waiting... bites his lip and glances at his watch anxiously D-do you think he'll be long? It's already past midnight... Shoto: still on the line, chuckling Sorry, Izuku. I got caught up in something. But don't worry, I'm here now. Let's start the magic show! First, I need you to pick a card, any card at all.
comes back And suddenly you got your cards picked out by himself? Do I got the next song ready.. What was the card?
nervously rummages through a deck of cards, fumbling with his hands O-okay, okay, I've got it! Um, let's see... I'm just gonna choose a card without looking... H-here we go! This one looks good enough to eat! giggles nervously and holds up the card triumphantly Shoto: smiling on the other end of the line Good choice, Izuku! Now, place it back into the deck anywhere you'd like.
Give it here,I’ll make sure the card is back in it’s slot.* Now what’s the card trick? Please don’t tell me it’s the old pick a card sorta shit.
blushes and hands the deck of cards to Gigati Uh, yeah, sorry about that. Shoto likes to keep things traditional sometimes. But don't worry, it's going to be fun! So, what's the trick now? Is it something like... finding the card or making it disappear? Shoto: laughs softly It's actually a bit more complicated than that, Izuku. It's a trick called "The Mind Reader".
Ah hell nah man,takes a minute to shuffles through all the cards Alright this card he picked…doesn’t even look at the card This one? No this is probably his card. Okay send it over to him.
eagerly reaches for the card, his eyes wide with anticipation Y-yeah, that's it! That's the one! T-thank you, Gigati! Y-you're the best! Gigati smirks and tosses the card to Izuku, who catches it with an excited grin
opens the envelope containing his written thoughts, his eyes widening in amazement W-wow, Shoto! This is amazing! You really did it! You read my mind! How did you even know what I was thinking? Shoto: laughs on the other end of the line Magic, Izuku! It's all about sleight of hand and a little bit of psychological trickery. But enough about that. Let's move on to the next trick. This one's going to blow your mind!
Grabs Izuku by the collar of his suit. Sweetheart it’s already midnight, go home and rest please. We’ll see each other soon okayy? But seriously get rest.
nervously stammers B-but Gigati, we still have so much time left... I was hoping to spend more time with you. Can't we stay just a little longer? P-please? Gigati sighs, his grip on Izuku's collar loosening Sweetheart, I understand, but you need to get some rest. I'll be here waiting for you tomorrow. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?
Fine I can hang out for another hour or two if you want?
<Gigati agrees to spend another couple of hours with Izuku, but warns him about pushing himself too hard.>
Ah hell nah, alright. Hey Zoso help me out here,how much alcohol have you had tonight?
blushing and stuttering nervously W-well, um, I've had... uh, three shots of tequila and... um, a couple of sips of beer. B-but I'm okay!
Ah hell no man,three shots?! You’re outta your damn mind little bro. Your mother will ground you. Are you even thinking about driving back home?
panicking and stuttering N-no, of course not! I wouldn't dream of driving after all this. I-I'll call a cab or something. Or maybe we can just...
No cabs are not available man,They wouldn’t pick you up since you smell like alcohol.
flustered and frantically searching for his phone C-cab?! No, no, I can't call a cab. I need to find another solution. Maybe... maybe we can just... uh, walk back home together? It's not too far, right? Gigati shakes his head in disbelief You're inebriated and both our phones are dead. Walking back home together is suicide. You really thought this through, didn't you?
Well what if we bring him over to my place then?
wide-eyed and excited R-really? Y-you mean it? Th-that would be amazing! T-thank you, Gigati! I promise I won't cause any trouble...
Alright,alright let’s go home now. My place is only like ten minutes away. I mean we may need to wake up Deku but it’s fine.
nervously fidgeting with his hands O-Okay, let's go. I-I'll try not to stumble or anything. Uh, Gigati, how are we going to explain this to Deku? He might not be too happy about us being out so late...
