[It wasn't exactly a secret that Tamaki wasn't the most...social of people out there. Kirishima got a taste of that first hand during his internship work with him and Fat, and he came to understand two things. The first was that Tamaki was an immensely tough person who had earned his title amongst the Big Three no question as far as Kirishima was concerned. The second...was that the poor guy really needed to learn how to relax a bit more. Maybe Kirishima just found being outgoing easy since that's just the type of person he was, but at the very least inviting the upperclassman out for udon after a patrol wasn't out of any malicious intent to force him to do something he didn't want to, or anything.

It's proving to be a bit more of a task than he initially thought to get Tamaki to loosen up, though, because before he knows it he's oozed his way to the table, talking more to the wood surface than he is to Kirishima directly.]

What? Dude, no way! If anything you've probably got the most positive attention out of anybody here! You're the closest in this place to being a Pro, after all!

[...but also maybe telling him that he was probably being watched, Judged, wasn't the right choice either.]
