Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.
So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

D E V I A N C Y ( IN SUBURBIA ) - there are some things that should be sacred. the home should be one of those. should. S I Z E - pick on someone your own size. couples with large size difference, be it height or weight, can be looked down upon; don't let that get you down.

[It's a very simple admission. It's not like he really kept his fondness for cats a secret. He was just a very private person and when you were a private person your interests ended up secrets. His friends were always a good insight, though. Sometimes the vacation wasn't even necessary, Mic would just burst in and say that he found a mug or a sweater and it would be in Aizawa's hands.]
[He kept most of them. It was inefficient to throw them out, after all.]
Although what makes you think I'm not allergic?
[After all, he clearly didn't have a cat. Now, he's not allergic but since the whole thing has sort of played out as a homework assignment, a grade, a mark, he feels the need to check the other's work.]

The question surprised him a little, made his eyebrows raise and his mouth fall open, but luckily he'd been prepared for that possibility as well. ]
Well, I couldn't be sure, but I know that Koda-kun frequently had pets, and you never seemed to have a reaction when you were near him. But just to be safe, I also brought a couple different types of allergy medication, just in case.
[ He'd tucked them safely in his bag before leaving, so they'd be easy to access. It was a little embarrassing, but anticipating those sorts of things was vital to being a great hero. Even something as small as an allergic reaction could ruin someone's day, after all, and besides - he really, really wanted today to go well. ]

... well, you won't need them: I'm not. [He has to admit he was just being contrary for no reason. There were lots of reasons he'd never actually gotten a cat. A lot of the time he didn't even feel like those reasons needed explaining. That was another reason he came off so distant- he'd just assume people could either figure it out or they weren't worth the time.]
[Izuku Midoriya had, without him realizing, figured a lot out. Or, he was trying to. (That should have been the second hint. Although, rather than not noticing, the part of him that shunned those sort of relationships denied the hint outright.)]
Well, come on. Let's not waste any time, then.
[No matter what he was thinking, there were definitely cats in there that needed attention desperately. The curt way he speaks is more because he's excited to go in than feeling short with Midoriya.]
sorry for taking forever!! ><
After holding the door open so Aizawa could enter, he followed behind and waved to one of the waitresses, a grin on his face. He wasn't about to say as much, but the truth was he'd done more than just look this place up: he'd come about a week before to check it out, and to get to know the staff and the cats a little better. There was no room for error when it came to impressing his former teacher. ]
Where do you want to sit? [ he asked, turning to the older man with a wide smile. ] I like the window spot over there, but it's up to you.
np! this time of year gets busy
Window is fine with me. [the window didn't get too much traffic. instead it just provided a lovely sunbeam for the cats to flock to. The cats here were pretty friendly but he did notice that some of them didn't even react to Midoriya as "new"... not that he can put together the truth of what Izuku's done to prep.]
[They'll settle into the window seat and Aizawa will let his hand sort of dangle so that cats who approach him can take a sniff and get a quietly affectionate scratch.]
How have you been doing? [Sure, Midoriya had been in the news but it's not like Aizawa trusted to news much.]
