So the leaves say. [ The skepticism is pretty clear.

But he focuses on Midoriya's, making an absent sort of noise in response to that. ] I guess. I've had some people confess to me since we started the school year, but I haven't really been interested in any of them.

[ What's the point, anyways? If Shouto's going to date someone, he doesn't want to date a stranger. They don't know him, they just think he's mysterious and nice to look at. ]

Well, whoever they were, they decided that roses mean new love, and you have one in your cup, too.

Mm, you seem like the type who'd rather date somebody you already knew.

[Which cuts the amount of people he would date drastically. Still there's a chance- and then his train of thought gets interrupted almost as soon as he starts it.]

There's one in mine?

[That's weird to him. He's never been the target of anyone's crushes, as far as he can tell.]

[icyhot]

At least that way I already know that I get along with them.

[ He's more open to making friends, not quite like when he was young, but better recently. But not open to dating strangers.

Shouto dismisses that thought and shows him the cup, tilting it towards him. ]

A rose, an anchor I think... that's stability, primarily in love and business, since it's placed at the top of the cup. [ He flips the pages of the book back and forth as he finds meanings, still holding the cup out. ] An intact chain for "fortunate undertaking or serious commitment." And I think the bird is a swallow, it's got the long tail, so... love and new beginnings.

[He peers over, almost afraid to check.]

... There's a lot of love in these cups today, huh? Maybe it's just an off day for tea leaves? I'm not really thinking about starting any long term relationships. Or uh... Any romantic relationships at all, really.
