[ claude can have a UA hoodie that she never wears if he wants it. it's not her color? it's just black? boring. ]
They are. [ there's a warmth in her own smile, a fondness in her voice. ochako loves her class, and it shows. ] Everyone's been in a good mood with exams being done and the holidays coming up, too. Being back here with them... it's nice.
I would've told you if it didn't work, though.
[ no need to elaborate on that if claude doesn't ask. it's not something she wants to dwell on, so instead she focuses on the positives, and right now that's would be the genuine smile claude wears, one that suits him far better than the ones he usually flashes around. does that mean he's comfortable enough with himself and with ochako to be honest, for once? thinking too much about that would be dangerous, but she can't stop herself from hoping to see more of this version of claude, instead of the persona he always puts forward.
...and then he turns the charm back on, and listen, she's a teenaged girl with a crush and she's weak. there's no good place to run when they're in public, either, so ochako just kind of sinks into the chair and tries to use her cup to hide the blush warming her cheeks. it doesn't work nearly as well as she'd hoped. ]
