"I am sorry Paul-kun, but for your sake, we were all in on it."
He didn't hear the whisper, but he caught the tail end of Kaworu's insistence. He relaxes his thighs and settles into his previous state, bar the occasional tingling thrill across his nerves whenever Kaworu shifts. Kaworu is lucky: Midoriya doesn't skip leg day. Midoriya doesn't look one bit sorry for being complicit in the grand birthday conspiracy. He is looking at the different, interesting pull of Kaworu's hair, no color and every color in it. He blinks slowly and lazily, picking up on Paul's fondness like cotton in the air. It's so soft. As ever, he forgets to look away, but this is good for the drawing.
The back of the notebook arrests his eye as well. Such suspense, but Midoriya is patient. In fairness to this hypothetical girl (and Midoriya), there are subtle differences: a very slight softening in nose and jaw and a lack of adam's apple. So, the picture really is not that different from reality. The eyeliner, as evidenced by the two sitting in front of (and in Kaworu's case, lounging on) him, is incidental when it comes to gender, but all-important when it comes to style, which Midoriya lacks.
"He seems to have worked hard on it." Kaworu seems unsure, but oh well, as long as he's comfortable...
