[Handcrusher Todoroki- Izuku still thinks that was a joke. But if Shouto did take his hand, he probably wouldn't pull away.
He nods, as he cleans off the table he used to make the bouquet. There's no need to stress out his mother, but Izuku can always be there for him if he needs to vent]
I understand. I'm here Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to four.
[ He wasn't joking, anyways. But at least he can still watch Izuku use his hands without trouble, and Iida's arm has mostly recovered, too. He doesn't get the urge to take Iida's hand, though, which is probably telling.
Turning the bouquet back and forth, Shouto narrows his eyes as he commits the meaning of the flowers to memory. He might not be able to identify them, at least specifically by name, but he'll remember the meanings. ]
If you don't mind, and your boss doesn't either, then I can bring you lunch or something when you work. [ But he hums a confirmation, looking at him. ] I remember.
[If he ever wants a lesson on flowers, he knows who to call.]
I wouldn't mind that at all. I'll ask my boss when she comes in.
You should come over some time. It'd be nice to have a guest. [And well, after you live in dorms with your classmates, sometimes your own apartment feels a little too lonely.
[ He might consider it. He could even bring it to his mother - she'd like that. ]
Let me know. [ Shouto nods, easy. That settles that. And the offer is one that causes him to relax a little more, no more temperature discrepancies, everything nice and mild like it's supposed to be. ]
I'd like that. [ A pause, then a question: ] How's it working out for you? Living in an apartment, I mean. I've been thinking about how I need to move out...
[He settles himself back behind the counter to continue their conversation.]
Of course, Todoroki-kun.
Living in the apartment? It not a big place, but it's nice. I love my mom, but it was a long commute to work each day. The bills are more than I would have expected, but it's the first time I've ever really lived alone, you know? It was always either the dorms or home.

You still remember where my apartment is, right?

Plus they could get dinner together on occasion.]
