[ Without Momo there, Shouto's full attention goes to Izuku.
And - he gets his name. It's not just Deku, dependable, who can do anything. It's Midoriya Izuku, now, his Mercy that is more than just someone he plays with and goes to for healing and buffs. They're friends, for as briefly as they've known each other, and it's amazing that they've met here by chance.
He doesn't believe in fate or chance, really. But this can be the exception.
He even smiles back, especially without Momo there to observe them. ] Todoroki Shouto. It's nice to meet you, too. For real now.
[They haven't known each other for long, and honestly, he was expecting to never run into his Genji in real life. Not that he's complaining! Shouto's been nothing but kind ever since they ran into each other during a random game.
And that smile... it really lights up his features. It's not fair, aren't gamers supposed to be plain? Shouto could be a model if he wanted to. Izuku's sure of that.]
[ Most people online don't meet one another, not unless they schedule it somehow. Shouto has heard of people on Overwatch who have met up, with mixed results - good and bad alike, they've gone to conventions and meetups and simple "dates" alike, and it's common enough. But Shouto never thought he'd be one of those people.
Here he is, by a random chance. The same way they met in-game. ]
You can call me whatever you like. [ It's never made a difference to him, though this is an interesting case. ] You've been calling me by my name this entire time, anyways.

Should I call you Todoroki-kun instead now?
