There's no way in hell that Todoroki is going to leave out Toge in his gifting. He may not know many people here. They may not know every nook and cranny about each other's life but it feels like he knows a lot. Toge is on his mind all day randomly, things remind him all the time.

It's why he tries to wrap Toge's gift, too, and it's... it's not good. It's not good at all. It's got at least two layers to it, a couple patches because he's definitely held it too hard and his finger went through. The first year he went about this there were people to help him and he thought he had the understanding, turns out it's the jist that he understood. With no videos to watch while he does this here, he's SOL. Kind of. He made it.

Once the ship mail comes in, Toge will find himself the owner of a temperature conductive metal plating. Very similar to the one that he wore during that goose fight. There's a small A5 style book in there, all the pages aren't used, but a lot of them in the front are. They're hand drawn schematics of the regulator. Aside the very concise very to the point writing, at the first page resides his letter:

Good morning, or evening, Inumaki. I'm not sure which this will reach you in.
It is Christmas and so Merry Christmas. This support gear will help you regulate your body's temperature safely to a very, very low temperature so you can test some of your ice abilities safely. It mainly centers on your core body for hot or cold, but isn't perfect without something to balance it out. Please don't go too far, too fast with your ice powers, you could do damage very easily.

I included schematics, but can help you at any time with repairs or questions. I hope this helps you as much as it used to help me. I'm eager to see you use it one day, if you'd let me.

From,
Shoto Todoroki

To be fair, Shoto would've welcomed him into his home if he wasn't playing Mission Impossible to get over to his living quarters. Shoto doesn't really go out that often, he's delivered his gifts and he's wondering who it is at his door until he opens said door. The usual resting bitch face that he has lights up, even if only a little, it's very visible and very much a lot for him.

"Inumaki..." He's happy to see him. It breaks through the fog if being happy to see him enough that he should probably move out of his doorway. "Do you want to come in?"

Shoto steps out of the way, giving him as much room as the doorway will allow. The door does get closed, not locked, but his eyes are busy ticking down to the gifts being held out toward him. Even if they're not wrapped, he wears the same look of a bit of surprise, looking from the man's face and then back down to the offered items.

"For me?" he asks, assuming considering they're being held out and takes them. He looks into the bento and the earlier raise of his eyebrows is even more severe and obvious. "You made it..." Or got it, he doesn't care which, "Come, sit down, have you eaten?" Because Shoto is about to share this. "I like this colour, too, thank you for thinking of me." The mug he means.

Shoto does settle in on the couch with him, on the way there he's grabbed his phone preemptively. He's excited to talk to him and this is how, so, of course he's got his phone.

Shoto's brain kicks in and he has to get back up, getting something to eat this with. He looks at his phone as he comes back to settle in with the bento box and the mug on the table in front of him. "Ah?" He picks the mug up, thinking just as he was told and his eyebrows raise again. "Inumaki... This is all very thoughtful. My power makes it easy for me to heat things, but it's nice to not have to use my quirk." He can't help the smile that creeps onto his face, offering him the mug. "Want some?"

Shoto gladly lets him have his fill, even if it weren't all, he wouldn't mind doing things in any way shape or form specifically and only for Toge. Even if it's meant for himself.

He has no qualms about taking a small drink after, looking down at his phone as he does before setting it on the table. "Oh." he hadn't thought about surprising him, but he doesn't understand that part of the context. "I can teach you to use it. It's the one I had just before the one I arrived with." Which, if Toge gets that good with ice, Shoto will gladly hand over. "What do you mean surprised you, though?" He picks up some of the soba, dipping it and of course offering it to his company first. At least a bite or two so that they can both enjoy it. Toge makes him want to do things for him, more than Shoto wants to do them normally.

Lucky for him he's got an expert wielder willing to help. Probably others who could but at least one where the regulator is concerned.

Shoto doesn't mind helping, trying the food next while his guest types and he looks pleased by it. It's so good. It's been so long since he's had this and it's the last place in the world he thought he'd ever get it. He picks his phone up to look at it, turning his eyes back. "Oh, I see. You didn't think I'd get you something." That kind of surprised. "I wanted to. I couldn't celebrate either, not until around last year." Not to the fullest, at least. "This is so good." He comments on a little happier things for both of them, but he has to ask:

"Inumaki, what is a curse? I have a friend who uses them constantly, but I don't think he's got any creatures following him." Unless you count Mineta once in a while. He does offer another bite to his guest, if he wants more, Shoto will share until he tells him no thank you.

Shoto pauses, giving him an odd look. "What better than this?" He really likes it. The mug is perfect, the food takes him back home where he desperately misses. The company? Seeing his smiling face in his doorway was a full year, every day, worth of gifts.

"Ah..." he looks a little uncomfortable. He used to be a little more loose with letting the words fly as he required, maybe still not as bad as Bakugo. "They're crass. It's just how he is, he usually doesn't mean anything by it, but it's a lot of cursing."

He gives a soft, small smile, "You did..." make it, "I'm thankful." Considering the dent he's made in it? Yeah. He's really enjoyed it and enjoyed sharing it while they chat as much as they can where chatting is concerned.

Reading over the whole thing he 'ohh's as he starts to understand, but just as if the words were coming from his guest's mouth, he doesn't say anything really until he's done reading. "I understand. Then what do you mean that there are more curses around the holiday?" Is his understanding. Excuse him as he chews away after speaking of course, offering up some of the last bits before Toge can start typing and it isn't annoying him in the midst of it.

Shoto would be horrified to hear they're not friends until things were explained to him a little more flatly, but he's engrossed in learning about curses and his frown says a lot about his mindset. "You'd never be able to sleep in my world, you'd have to work every day all day." He can't imagine what kind of horrors are birthed from the negative feelings of the horrors of his own world. Maybe ones of his own, too.

"I understand a little more." He doesn't know if he could fight monsters. "It must have been frightening learning to deal with monsters."

Shoto hopes the Elders aren't listening, or if they are he can bend their ear on the importance of proper sleep for their soldiers. Let him give them a damn good talking to as to how to properly treat the bodies of their warriors if there isn't so many of them. He'll pull rank, son of the number one if he has to. ...Or they're not here and can't listen and he just will be upset about hearing that would be a possibility on the constant. He can understand sometimes, but not always.

He takes all of this in, noting at approximately what the head shake was for and then continues to read.

"I'd hope they were smarter than that, that it isn't more than a few days. Sometimes people who can protect others might have to. There's no reason to work you to actual death."

Which brings him to the idea of Toge being outclassed? "After seeing you fight, after seeing how you move... It isn't easy to think you'd be outclassed by anything. I was remarking to one of my friends how fluidly and easy it was to work with you."

Alright that's better than working him tirelessly. A week is a long time, not unheard of in his world but also not ideal. Then again, once more, they're short staffed essentially. He's had instances like this.

"A week is still a long time." He has taken to picking up the cup again, sipping from one side silently while he reads the other part of the message. He remembers this but all the same.

That smile makes him falter, the words leave him for the chance to see him do it. Eventually he remembers to complete what he's saying. "All this but it's still surprising, Inumaki. I'm sure there are pro heroes back home that wouldn't be able to successfully walk into a fight with you. Myself included. I'm not a pro hero." He offers over the drink while he's speaking. "There are very few I can think of. A man by the hero name of Edgeshot maybe. That's only maybe. Perhaps if someone had regeneration, or if there were a way to dodge. I don't even think my teacher could." He finishes with an easy remark of: "I guess I'm saying you're impressive, but I wanted to elaborate." There may be a few other heroes maybe? Some villains that he knows of that might be able to withstand.

While Shoto is playing fantasy sports in his head, he notes, specifically that above the conversation, he's just happy for the company. For this particular company.

There it is again. Distracting and pretty to see on an equally pretty face. The marks that he knows are there aren't ever anything but just present. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides... It's kind of like smile marks if he thinks about it.

And he is thinking about it. His phone actually chimes at him again before he looks away, surprised at the noise and fumbles his phone to be able to read it once he does get it onto the message. Alright, message.

"No, I can't imagine that." he says at first, answering as he's reading. "After seeing what I saw and knowing that he... your world has some incredibly strong people, Inumaki. It makes me want to train harder." He will never be able to withstand it, he's certain, but he doesn't let things beat him that easily. His eyes come up off his screen. "I'd like to hear more about him, if you'll tell me more. I like hearing about you."

Normally when the guy you're crushing on if you know it or not sends you an essay that you've been able to finish up some food and re-fill that drink-length, you should be jealous, right?

Maybe if you weren't Shoto Todoroki.

All of these words make him happy to see. That Toge has someone so precious to him, that can take every bit of what he dishes out by accident even maybe. He says 'talk', and Shoto does have to wonder if he means with actual words sometimes. That part makes him a little sad, that he will never be able to do that for him, but jealous? How could he be? Not when it makes Toge this happy.

"I should hope that one day I would be able to meet him, he seems kind hearted. He seems like someone I would like to know. Especially with your kind words about him." Any friend of Toge is a friend of Shoto's now.
