[Izuku has a startlingly easy time working with almost anybody. Just give him a few seconds to formulate a plan, and he can come up with something that uses his whole team's strengths.
But when it comes to Shouto, there's something even easier about that partnership. There's a level of implicit and deep trust that he doesn't get from anybody else.
So the choice of who to ask along the road trip was clear from the very beginning.
His grin is blinding once he's agreed.]
I'm looking forward to it. We'll leave in two days, if that works for you?
[ Likewise, Shouto's gotten better about working with other people over the years. There are still some where he has an easier time of collaborating with them - Iida, Yaoyorozu - compared to others, but the familiarity he has with Izuku makes it so that some days, they don't even have to speak to be on the same level.
Nevermind the fact that he was honestly his first real friend. You can't just erase that, or the feelings that build up over the years because of it and the experiences that follow.
So something twists in his chest in response to that grin, his left side heating up, and he ducks his head in a nod. ]
That's fine. It gives me time to pack things up, and talk to my mother about what she might like me to bring her.
[Shouto's smiles are rare but that makes Izuku savor them all the more. It's nice to know you can make your friends smile- especially ones like Todoroki.
He trusts him completely, after all. Years of working with him in school and on the field does that. Shouto might not be his first friend, but he feels like maybe he's the deepest friendship he's made over the years.]

Great. I'll get to packing when I get home too.
