The big kiss scene/build up! Shouldn't even be a side story with how long it is hahaha! Seven whole pages of just... fluff and boys being boys and Izuka being an adorable girl.

Kirishima's hands were sweating profusely as he waited beside the fountain outside of the large fro-yo store they had agreed to meet at. Kaminari was sitting at the nearby bench, his feet stretched out before him as he lounged taking up as much room as he can with his hands stuffed into his pockets. His eyes were focused on Kirishima as he began to pace again, taking the same path his legs had done the previous five times since they arrived.

"Dude, if I knew you were gonna be like this I wouldn't have let us take the early train. It's not even noon yet!" Kaminari groaned as he leaned his head back against the bench. "She's not even late! I'm sure she is just fine! Now sit your ass down before I make you!"

Kirishima looked over at him with narrowed eyes before sighing and stuffing his sweaty palms into his jean pockets. "No no you're right I just... what if she didn't know how to find the mall? I mean we've been here before but she probably hasn't and maybe it was too much to ask her to meet us out here and-"

"Eiji! Denki! Hi!" Kirishima's head snapped up as he spun around to see Izuka walking towards them, waving her arm above her head.

"Finally! Just in time Izuka! This bastard here wouldn't sit down for five minutes thinking you got lost or something." Denki smirked at her as she gave him a fist bump and did the same with Eijirou, who frowned in Denki's direction.

"Dude."

"What? You know it was true!"

Izuka's laugh broke them apart as her smile lit up her face. Eijirou smiled softly and Denki grinned in her direction.

"Well sorry to keep you two then! Where would you guys like to go? I've got all day!" Izuka wrapped her arms through both of their own, walking in between the two and taking a glance around the large shopping area they now entered into.

"We were thinking about hitting up the arcade. What do you think? I know you told us a bit about playing video games and all but what exactly do you play?" Denki looked down at the girl between them, his cheeks taking on a slight pink color as his eyes traveled a little south to the cleavage showing. His eyes quickly faced forward again as he directed the three towards the large arcade in the left wing of the mall.

His attention was hardly focused though with the way the girl was dressed. She looked so different in casual wear. Her hair was pulled back into a high bun, her bangs hanging slightly down to frame her face much like in the way she wore it in her hero costume. She had on a loose fitting red flannel shirt that was unbuttoned to show off the white tank top underneath. A little low cut but not that Denki was complaining at all.

Taking a glance over at Eijirou he noticed the other boy didn't seem to mind at all either...

He smirked as he focused forward again. He knew he picked his best friend out well.

Izuka also wore jean shorts, the ones with the cute distressed look that her white tank top tucked into. The shorts were clearly high waisted, showing off the way her body curved to form along her waistline and powerful legs.

Her outfit was complete with white shin high socks that seemed to be one of those athletic brands and her famous red high top shoes. He always liked her sense of style, somehow making a tomboyish charm turn girly enough to be utterly cute.

Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he lead her away from Eijirou and stuck out his tongue. Eijirou laughed before turning around, going to the game corner and getting a couple of gaming cards to play for awhile. They were all splitting up the prices as the day went on.

Eijirou looked back towards the other two, his eyes settling on Izuka as she laughed at something Denki was saying. A small smile formed on his lips as he took in her form and sighed, running his hand through his hair before moving towards the other two who were waiting for a turn on the DDR machine.

"Eiji! Do you mind if we play this first!? I love DDR! Ochako and I went one time and it was a lot of fun!" Her eyes lit up as she focused on Eijirou's red eyes with her own sparkling green. He couldn't help the blush that filtered across his cheeks before he nodded.

"Uh yeah, sure! Totally! But I gotta warn ya, Denki here is a monster at DDR." Eijirou laughed at Denki's look as he made a face at Eijirou.

"I'll kick both of your asses just you watch!" Denki snatched one of the cards from Eijirou's hand and stepped up to the center of the machine. "Person with the top score out of all of us wins. Got it? That person picks next game and major loser has to buy ice cream later. Deal?"

Izuka nodded and Eijirou smirked, a thumbs up coming from him.

"Deal!"

"You're so on man! Show me what you got!"

Denki slotted his card in the machine and picked a character who resembled a large plug in into a wall. Izuka snickered as Eijirou sweatdropped. "Dude seriously?"

"Well, I think it resembles him quite well." Izuka laughed as Denki grinned over at her, mocking a deep bow.

"Thank you Izuka. Unlike some people, you get my sense of humor." He snorted and turned back to the machine, picking light mode and scrolling through the choices of songs. He picked some random pop selection that seemed fun and the music began to countdown. Eijirou chanced a peek at Izuka as Denki began his wild movements and he smiled softly at her, watching her eyes following from Denki's moving feet to the scoreboard shown on screen. Her fingers tapped along to the music, and she cheered when he got a good score at the end. Her eyes flickered up to meet Eijirou's, and an adorable blush made its way across her cheeks as she noticed the look he was giving her. Eijirou shook his head as he didn't really hear what she said, his eyes too focused on the movement her lips were making.

Was she wearing lipgloss…?

"Eiji?"

"Huh? What?"

Denki's laugh and a hard hit to his shoulder brought Eijirou back into the present. "Kiri, dude, where were you just now? Off in fairytale land? It's your turn!" Denki pushed on his shoulder and shoved him up onto the game's platform. "Pick your character, light mode and song and let's go! See if you can beat my score!"

Eiji sighed as he turned back to the game, slotting his card and picking at random a character with red hair. He glanced over his shoulder to see Denki smiling at Izuka and his heart picked up a beat as her eyes met his and an encouraging nod was given his way…

"Well shit, I suck." Eijirou stepped down and wiped the sweat from his brow, turning back to look at the glaring screen flashing a big red 'failed' at the three of them. "Looks like I'm gonna be buying ice cream if Izuka doesn't doesn't completely bomb this in the first minute."

A giggle caught his attention and he turned to look at Izuka who shoved his shoulder to make him back up so she could get to the middle of the dance pad. "I still can't believe you failed! You picked one of the easiest songs too!" She smirked as she swiped her card and moved to select one of the female characters, scrolling through the songs as she listened closely to the beat. "I would almost say it looked like your quirk held you back a little bit." Her wink towards Eiji brought the blush back in full force, and he was jostled by Denki's hard laughter.

"She totally got you there Kiri. Now let's watch her kick your ass and hopefully not kick mine!"

Izuka picked a slightly faster song than Denki's, the music beginning to build as the countdown began. She smirked as the first few steps appeared on the screen and she began to move her legs to hit the notes perfectly. Eijirou and Denki's faces both held one of surprise as she made the steps actually look like a dance, her hips swaying in a way that suggested the steps were graceful and not automatic like the game normally felt like.

Denki's eyes widened as she put more into her moves, gliding across the small stage and adding in her own moves in the longer breaks between the steps. Eijirou couldn't take his eyes off her as her strong legs moved her body with powerful steps he normally only saw when she was in her 'hero mode'. A hit to his ribs had him glancing at Denki, who nodded to the side they weren't standing on. Eijirou glanced over and his eyes narrowed at the group of boys who started to make their way over to the dance platform. Their eyes seemingly gliding over Izuka's body in a way that made Eijirou's blood boil.

"Do you-?"

"Yeah Denki, I don't like it either." Eijirou crossed his arms over his chest before looking back to Izuka, her performance almost doubling the score of Denki's before she finally came to a stop and big green flashing lights on the screen indicated she had the newest high score. Her cheer brought a smile to both of the boys' faces and they clapped as she jumped down and right into Eijirou's arms.

His face bloomed into a deep blush before he wrapped his arms around her, hoisting her off the ground and hugging her tight before letting her go so she could hug Denki as well. She wrapped her arms around both their necks and pulled them close to her. "Ah ha! I win! I killed both of you in this battle."

Eijirou's arm wrapped around her waist as Denki's settled on her shoulder. "You're damn right you did. Looks like I owe both of you an ice cream later." His smile brought a larger one to her own face. Denki's laugh filled their small circle as they moved over to a couple other games.

Eijirou's eyes followed Izuka as she moved over to another machine, one that had you spin a large wheel and you had to try and stop the wheel on just the right spot to win. He leaned against the machine Denki was using, playing a single player of Mortal Combat. She had taken off her flannel shirt, choosing to wrap it around her waist.

"Why don't you just go after her dude?"

"Huh?" Eijirou turned to look over at Denki who was focused on kicking his opponent's ass. "Go after-? Who!? Izuka!?"

Denki snorted and met his eyes for a split second before he focused on the game again. "Yeah. Who else would I be talking about? You obviously have a huge thing for her and if you keep the pace you're going in, she'll put you so far into the friendzone you won't even be able to crawl your way out."

Eijirou grit his teeth as he looked away, his eyes resting on her again. "It's… complicated. Bakubro is… You know how he feels, I almost feel like I'm overstepping a line I shouldn't cross with bros."

"Dude, Bakugou has had his chance since fucking elementary. And he keeps making huge mistakes with her. I say just go for it. Who the hell cares what Bakugou thinks." Denki hit the top of the machine and grinned before it instantly dropped as he looked over Eijirou's shoulder towards Izuka. "And you may want to make that move dude. Those guys are…" He cut off and Eijirou swerved back around to face towards Izuka. His eyes narrowed as one of the boys from before approached her, placing his gaming card on the machine and then leaning against into Izuka's space.

She seemed surprised before a small smile formed on her lips and she backed away to signal he could have a turn, but the boy said something that brought a confused look to her face. He seemed to continue on with his move, when Izuka's face formed a frown and she crossed her arms over her chest, unknowingly causing the boy's eyes to traveled down. Eijirou moved to interfere, barely hearing the, "dude don't" from Denki as he marched up to Izuka and gently placed his hand on her lower back. He slipped his fingers apart, drawing out a shudder from Izuka as his hand moved to cup her hip and pull her against him.

"You okay babe? This guy isn't bothering you right?" His red eyes hardened as they focused on the male now leaning fully onto the machine beside them.

Izuka's large eyes looked up to Eijirou as she uncrossed her arms and moved to wrap them around his waist. Eijirou's face broke out into a blush, but his eyes stayed on the male in front of him. "No, Eiji-kun. It's alright. He was just a little… unnerving is all." Her hand moved up to pat his chest as her eyes glanced over at the rude male. "I think he gets the picture that I am not interested."

The male raised up his hands and shrugged. "I was just seeing if you wanted to ditch these two losers and hang out with some real guys. But clearly you are as lame as they are." His piercing eyes focused on Izuka once more before sliding over to Eijirou. "Never took you for a girl who likes fake heroes like him."

"I'll have you know Eijirou is one of the best guys around and you have no room to talk with the way you're eyeing me up and insulting me at the same time! You perverted bastard!" She jerked her body to move towards him, but Eijirou's arm stayed wrapped around her, pulling her against him.

"Izuka it's not worth it. This guy is a piece of shit anyway. I would know, I went to elementary with the bastard." Eijirou pulled Izuka flush against his chest, his other arm coming to wrap around her.

"Glad you finally took notice Kirishima. Hardly recognized you at first with that… new hair color of yours." The guy spat as he pushed off of the machine and looked at him, an ugly snarl on his face. "If I knew there were girls like this at that blasted school, I would have probably given it a second thought. But just hearing a loser like you was attending… I had no interest." He shrugged as he turned away. Not saying another word as the other boys he was with followed his lead and walked away.

Izuka shivered in his arms and turned around to push Eijirou away slightly, not looking up at his face as his eyes looked at her. "Izuka I-"

"Why would he say that about you? You aren't- You're one of the best guys I know! You show so much strength and only want to be the best hero you can be! Why would he-? I don't-?" Izuka looked down as tears gathered in her eyes. "Why would he say that about you? About everyone at Yuuei?"

"Izuka, look at me." Eijirou moved his hand to her chin, tilting her head up as his thumbs rubbed her cheeks to get rid of the tears slowly falling. His grin brought a small smile to her face. "Don't worry about what he says about me. The guy I was in elementary is different from the guy I am now. I'm the guy you know, that's all that matters to me."

Izuka's smile grew a bit before she moved forward, throwing her arms around his neck and he hugged her back. His face moved to nestle on top of her head as he sighed.

"Dude, guys, I feel like I could throw up right now with this shit. Am I third wheeling and you two just, never said anything?" Denki moved forward, his face showing a slight smirk with his hands in his jacket's pockets. "Can we go get ice cream now? I kinda spent all the money on my card and used Eijirou's up as well."

"What the hell dude!"

Izuka laughed and nodded, moving away from Eijirou and wiping at her eyes. "Ah, yeah. Ice cream sounds great." She smiled up at Denki. "Thanks guys."

They both just smiled at her and moved along towards the ice cream parlor near the front entrance. After grabbing their ice cream they all sat around the large fountain, people watching the other kids and families that were enjoying the nice weather they were experiencing. Izuka looked up at the sky, the sun slowly beginning to set in the early evening.

"When is your train taking off Izuka?" Denki looked over at her from his spot on the ledge of the fountain. He had already finished his ice cream, his back leaning against the ledge as his hand played with the flowing water beside him.

"Ah, not for another hour or so. Plenty of time to make it to the station and make sure I don't miss it for the long ride home." She smiled over at Denki, licking her melting ice cream from her spoon as she set her bowl down.

"We'll walk you to the train station. We both are going in the same direction so it won't be a problem to take yah there. Sorry for making you come all this way out here." Eijirou gave her a tight smile, but her own back made him relax.

"No no! Not at all! I had a blast, honestly. I couldn't have had a better day!" She grinned at the both of them before Denki moved off the fountain and waved his hands.

"I'll be right back, I need to go wash my hands after how sticky they are putting them in that fountain." He moved off as Izuka and Eijirou watched him before laughing to themselves.

"I honestly think sometimes his brain just fries on its own. He's so random." Eijirou laughed as he watched Izuka look after Denki, getting up himself and throwing away both of their empty bowls. He came back and moved to stand in front of Izuka. She gave him a questioning smile, his hands settling on her knees as he smiled at her.

"You got a little uh, here." He moved his finger to swipe at the corner of her mouth, moving his hand to his own mouth and placing his finger there. Izuka's eyes followed his finger to his lips, her tongue coming out to lick at her lips. Eijirou's hand moved back to her face, the other moving to cup her hip as he leaned in. His thumb rubbed against her bottom lip before he pulled away to slowly meet his lips with her own.

He kissed her softly, a gentle press of their lips together. His eyes fluttered open to see her own closed, and she moved to press her hand to the back of his head, deepening the kiss a little bit. He smiled as he pulled away, a blush covering both of their cheeks as they met eyes and he smirked at her.

"You know, I never really liked orange sherbert till now…"
