Chapter 3

Mina awoke at the ripe hour of 9:00 the next morning, taking a moment to stretch and check her phone.

5:00 OctoDad: Want to meet in the Lobby and take the train into town?

Jesus he wakes up early

9:12 Mina: Sure! Sounds like a plan :)

Ignoring the teasing messages coming from Tooru, Mina began to wash up and get ready for her date. Taking a thorough half hour to shower and get dressed, she settled on a simple pleated black miniskirt and blue blouse.

Leaving her room, she meandered her way down the stairwell waving a friendly hello to all her classmates until she got to the Dorm's main lobby. That was when she finally got a good look at the man she would be spending the day with.

Shouji stood in the doorway to the Dorm, dressed in a simple skin tight black tank top that turned into a mask as it got up to his face and loose fitting black sweat pants.

Great now I need to make sure not to ogle him all day.

"Hey Shouji," Mina said with a bright smile.

"Hello Mina," He replied calmly "How did you sleep?"

"Like a rock, a very relaxed rock" She mentioned sarcastically, "So shall we get going?"

"Sure" He said calmly, opening the door for the smaller girl as they made their way to the train station.

The walk to, and subsequent ride, to the train had been pleasant with each of them talking about school, family and general heroism the whole way to the inner city. They spent the next 3 hours walking around the city, laughing smiling and enjoying eachothers company.

By the time it came to midday Mina began looking for food and shouji, being the ever observant fellow he is took notice.

"Getting hungry?" He asked cutrly.

"Yah a bit" She said mildly aggravated "I could kill for a Big Mac right now."

"Alright sure, I've never been to McDonalds before so I guess this will be a learning experience"

"W-wait, you've NEVER eaten at mcdonalds?" Mina asked shocked.

"Do I look like I eat at mcdonalds?" Shouji said lifting his 6 arms, in a sarcastic tone Mina didn't know he was capable of.

"Tch fine, lets just go eat" She said feigning annoyance.

The next hour was spent in comfort as the young couple ate together, with Mina constantly stealing Shouji's fries and convincing him that fast food is the best way to eat breakfast lunch and dinner.

The young heroes left the fast food establishment with full stomachs and smiling, or whatever Shouji can do with his mouth, faces. The couple enjoyed the time together, striking up playful conversation about their studies and fellow students.

Suddenly a crash was heard. Looking down the street the two young heroes saw a large man, easily the size of a small building with deep scars across his face and arms, with 2 huge tusks erupting from his lower jaw, crashing across a small bridge with Mt. Lady close in toe.

The large hero and villain significantly destabilized the large cement bridge and it began to shake and crumble violently. Quickly Mina's hero instincts kicked in when she noticed several people underneath the bridge. She saw a small girl curled up on the ground crying as well as a mother and son, the former of which had her leg stuck underneath a large support beam.

"You get the girl, I'll help the mother and son" Mina said and after a nod from Shouji, each one sprinted over to help the poor civilians.

Quickly running over to them, Mina began trying to pry the piece of metal rebar holding the mother down. Unable to move it on her own, she began to melt it down using her acid as the boy tried his best to help move the bar off of his mother.

Just as she was halfway through the piece of metal she heard the bridge above her crumble. Looking up, she saw a large piece of cement begin to fall towards them.

Huh, so this is how it ends.

Closing her eyes and covering the boy and his mother with her body, she braced herself for her impending demise.

But it never came…

Confused and oddly intact, Mina looked up and gasped when she saw shouji, holding the little girl close to his body with 2 of his arms and holding up the large cement block with the remaining 4. It was clear that he had to rush over quickly, he was panting heavily and each of his fingers were dug into the rock, something Mina thought looked incredibly painful.

I'm staring again aren't I? Oh god I'm such an idiot.

With a grunt, that totally did not in any way cause less than pure thoughts pop up into Mina's head, Shouji threw the piece of stone to the side.

"You okay?" He asked kindly once his hands were free.

With a nod, Mina stood and helped him move the piece of rebar so that the mother was free. Once everything was settled and the ambulances came the pair of young heroes made their way to UA.

The two talked the whole way back to the school, about Shouji and about Mina, their classmates and even their teachers.

Finally the young couple entered the prestigious school, with shouji offering to walk Mina to her room.

"Honestly I wish there was a way to make it up to you, I mean you saved my life!" Mina told the taller boy.

"You don't owe me anything, I'm just glad I could help" He replied with a chuckle.

Finally they reached Mina's room.

"Well, thanks for the fun day. And saving my life" She said with a purple blush on her face. He responded kindly but before he could leave she asked him one more thing.

"H-hey Shouji, can I see your face again" She asked embarrassed.

"uhm, sure why not" He said taken aback.

Slowly he reached a hand up to slowly pull down his mask. His face was exactly as Mina remembered it, no cheeks and no lips, simply a row of jagged teeth not unlike kirishima's.

Cautiously, she reached a hand up and cupped his chin. Slowly he brought his head down closer, letting her examine his face. Mina took time admiring his features, the strength of his jawline, his sharp piercing eyes.

Shouji began to lean ever closer as they made eye contact. His face not 6 inches away as they looked into eachothers eyes.

Well, here goes.

Moving her head forward, she placed her lips on his mouth. While not the most comfortable exchange for either party, they each closed their eyes and gave into the kiss, with mina wrapping her hands around Shouji's strong neck.

"OH. MY GOD!"

The 2 lovebirds quickly pulled away and looked to the source of the noise. Down the hall stood the entire female population of Class 1A, each with a blush on their face.

Suddenly the girls sprung into action. Without a word they, except Tsuyu, rushed at Mina. With a quick tap, Uraraka made Mina weightless and the girls quickly ran out of the hallway to another dorm.

"Uhm, sorry about them" Tsuyu apologized politely.

"Hm, its fine" Shouji said with a chuckle as he walked to his dorm.
