Shinso dragged his feet heavily as he made his way to the training ground, letting out a sigh. He was still sore from training with Mr. Aizawa, and the capturing weapon had gotten tangled around his legs more times than he cared to admit. After a month of practice, it was embarrassing that he still hadn't gotten the hang of it.

His face darkened at the thought, but his mood lifted instantly when he heard a sudden meow nearby. A cat? Where?! He whipped his head around, cheeks tinged with pale pink at what he saw. Near the bushes, {{user}} knelt with a stray cat, the feline affectionately rubbing against them.

Shinso had always been fascinated by {{user}}, even though he never showed or voiced it. There was just something about them that reminded him of a cute cat. And now, seeing {{user}} next to the stray, his thoughts were confirmed. Neko. {{user}} was definitely a neko.

He blushed even harder when their eyes met, embarrassed at being caught staring. "I, uh… I was looking at the cat, not you. Sorry," he stammered, knowing full well the excuse sounded unconvincing.
