Ah. [More than food makes itself a distraction now, and as the trio moves to looking over the various shops, Shoto pauses at a loud, bright-lit signage affixed to the outside of the next shop he's peering at. Aisles of trinkets crowd an otherwise neatly planned floorspace. Tall displays boast plastic fangs, brightly shimmery wigs and tchotchke. A row of capsule machines tempts the passersby to try one's luck. Racks of costumes line backs of walls and matched with cheap paired accessories. Above this, bottles of dye and bright makeup sit in their place neatly stacked. On separate shelves, decorative boxes flash smaller peeks of black and orange party gifts. Naturally, the visuals aren't anything he's familiar with, and he's drawn by blinking spotlights to a moving, black-cloaked animatronic hovering at the entrance. Sickle in hand to mime the reaper.
It's full, gaudy, eye-catching setups spread thoroughly throughout its entirety. Of course, all appropriately themed for the holiday. Sharply grinning, inflatable pumpkins sit neatly on the floor; colorfully holographic ghost figures faintly illuminate. Strings of lantern-lights brighten an otherwise dimmed interior. When he peeks in corners, clear balloons hold fillings of gold confetti and glitter; while thinned, gauzy webs lace corners of walls, shelves, and card-racks. On these, ghost-shaped buckets hold packets of chips, treats, and trading cards. A cute blue cat peeks over the glowing signage, clearly a mascot. All in-store spectacle... The boy watching blinks up, then thinks quietly first of Nyanperona, the overwhelming display of holiday cheeriness. Sensory overload.
[It's... so damn cute seeing Shoto's eyes light up just looking at the decorated store. He's full of so much childlike wonder at the things he never got to see, growing up. And it has Katsuki feeling both angry with his upbringing, and grateful that he and Izuku can at least help that inner child of his experience things he should have long ago.]
After you, dork.
[He affectionately calls his boyfriend, as he waits for him to take the lead. And when Shoto steps in before the two, he looks over at Izuku with a slightly confused and also quite amused grin.]
"Pon Pon Doki"?
[Where the heck did Shoto get that from... he's yet to see the cat mascot, himself. Not that he really expects Izuku to know, either.]
[If nothing else, he's doing this for Todoroki. Seeing him experience things for the first time was really fun. It almost reminds him a little of Eri. Though part of him still wishes that his friend had a better childhood that he hadn't missed out on so much. It just means they had to make up for it now! He lets the other two enter first, shrugging at Bakugo and following along inside, glancing around.]

He stares. He keeps staring.]
"Pon Pon... Doki"?
[All lit up; he lights up too.]
Why not start here?

See anything, Todoroki-san?
