[ Throughout the party (and the week), he's constructed ramps for the Exorcist whenever they hit a set of stairs his wheelchair can't get around. It takes a few minutes to remove the ice, but he always makes sure there's no sign of their passing. Allen usually wheels himself around on their walks, only offering to help with more complicated tasks like moving from chair to seat or when they're heading uphill. Sometimes Allen accepts, sometimes he doesn't, and that's okay. It doesn't bother him. Shouto knows he's fine without him. Most heroes are, and he's used to a certain amount of independence from his friends.
He's staring at him smile when his attention is redirected to the seat next to him. There's still room, no need to scold him! Wordlessly, he follows his lead and settles down next to him. He sits cross-legged with his elbows resting lightly on his thighs in a relaxed pose looking fair and content. The revelers fade into the background, his attention on him.
He's seen street performances but never stayed to see them through, always too busy to linger with the crowds and catch the show unfold. He caught the start of Allen's performance. He watched him play the crowd for a few moments, juggling the sparklers to their amazement. He looked happy. So, very much so, there was no need for him to stay. He left him to his devices and picked up the blanket for the fireworks display. ]
You're very good too.
[ A gentle look. ]
I think the kids liked you. [ A strong compliment from him. ] You made them smile.
