[ A part of his mind thinks to say sorry, to apologize for the gesture, but - Shouto is too fascinated by the feeling of his feathers, the twitch and shift of muscle as his wings spread. He's touched Fuyumi's wings before, preening them of stray, loose feathers where she has a hard time reaching. He's done the same for his mother, too, now that they're in a better place.
But this is different. This is really, really different.
And it feels a little like something has clicked into place as he does it, carding through the feathers gently, carefully. His own puff up a little, where he's got them folded to his back so that they're out of the way. They're just meant to be studying, but this is... distracting? Definitely not studying.
[His wings stretch out, more than willing to let Shouto stroke through them for as long as he'd like. Even as Izuku's face starts turning unmistakably red.
He does like it, Shouto's gentle touch against his vulnerable wings. Still, he only assumes that Shouto cares about him as a friend, like some of their classmates.]
I... yes? Yours have grown too.
[He hesitates for a moment before reaching out and petting through Shouto's closest wing. There's a soft smile once he's started petting, he wonders how much his crush has been contributing.]

Definitely not Shouto caring. ]
They're bigger than they used to be.
