[ Shouto makes a soft noise into the phone, a sort of cue to hold on, and he moves to exit his room and peer down the long hall. Their home is way too big for the number of people living in it, but it does have some advantages. So he just stands there, listening, waiting.
When he figures out where Endeavor is, he turns off the light in his room and closes the door, careful not to rattle it in the track. ]
Come to the back, I'll let you into the garden. It sounds like he's in the training room right now, so he's not going to notice us, so long as I don't blow anything up.
[He does get up, carefully putting the vest into its carrying case as he hears Shouto's shuffling. It's usual to check and double check for Endeavor- especially if they're doing something his father wouldn't approve of.
Which seems to be almost everything.]
I'll be there soon.
[He picks up the case, telling his mom that he's going over to Shoucchan's for a little while. She says to be careful and not to stay over too late- and Shouto can hear it because he hasn't thought about hanging up just yet.]
[ Padding barefoot and silent down the hall, Shouto listens to the Midoriyas talking to one another on the other end of the line, not thinking to hang up either, before he focuses on the sounds of activity coming from the training room. He can even smell that something's been scorched, so he quickly turns the corner and heads to the back. ]
He'll be busy all night, probably. We're good to go. [ Especially since he so rarely pays attention to the garden. It was more for his mother than anything else.
Not that she gets much use out of it, now, but he'll take advantage of Endeavor's disinterest in it when he can. ]
[He knows for certain it works just the way he wanted it to, but there's something really special about seeing Shouto actually use it. It was tailored to his quirk, after all.
It doesn't take him long to reach the back of the Todoroki home.]
[ Slipping through the garden, taking advantage of the quiet to jog towards the back gate, Shouto finally realizes that they've been on the phone the entire time when he gets there. ]
Hey. [ So he hangs up, slipping his phone into his pocket and jimmying the lock on the gate with a little ice. ]
[ Their secret rendezvous would probably be harder if they weren't as quiet as they are, if they didn't have tricks and Izuku's smaller build to work with. Shouto holds the gate to let him slip through, unable to get it open much further without breaking something that would sell them out.
But once Izuku is through, he takes the offered case. It's not often that he looks excited, but it's obvious to anyone that knows him that he's perked up as heh kneels down to set the case on the grass. ]
Does it activate with my quirk? Or do I need to do something before putting it on? [ And he's opening the case as he asks. ]
[Izuku's tiny and it's easy for him to slip places more muscular people would certainly have problems with. Still, he looks really proud of himself for getting Shouto to be excited. It's so rare he ever anticipates something.]
It has a temperature sensing gauge across it. All you have to do is put it on, the device will take care of everything for you.

At least there's one thing being skinny is good for. He's not sure how easy getting in and out of that gate would be otherwise.
He'll hand over the carrying case.]
It's for you.
