"So, wait," Mina's voice filtered over the phone. "You're telling me that you met a childhood friend of Katsuki's. As in a friend of Katsuki Bakugo's? The guy that pissed off the entire country three years in a row and despite being in the top ten heroes, and in the twenty hottest male heroes, is also the number one voted hero that looks like a villain. He has a friend?"
Eiko shifted in the still hot water of her tub, she had finally gotten off of their double patrol, into two back to back crimes and then an interview she agreed to. Normally she would have been mentally drained and just passed out on the nearest flat surface only to wake up four hours later and make her way to her bed.
She was physically tired, but mentally, mentally she was wide awake, her every free thought drifting towards Izuku and the fact that she had Katsuki's permission to date him, and that he liked her, and that she liked him, and that she might have had a something that was basically a date because he was going to be showing her how to stretch and that she was going to be stretching and that would mean physical contact and she, she, she.
"Eiko! You still awake? Hello!" Mina shouted into her phone, shocking her back into reality.
"Yea," She said softly looking over at her phone, resting just out of arm's reach on the countertop, the call still showing just Mina's name and her most recent profile picture. "I'm just still kind of distracted. He's just kind of my type ya'know?"
"Katsuki? No, he's not, besides, he's gay." Mina shifted her phone.
"What? No, not him, he's just my friend is all." She sighed, sinking back down into the tub and just letting the water soothe her, as flashes of Izuku came into mind, the way he talked about random things, the way he smiled, the enthusiasm he treated her with. His seaweed colored hair, just everything about him.
"Hello! Eiko! Girl, if you're falling asleep on me we can talk later. Oh, wait, no we can't. You're talking about a guy, and if I need to hop on a train and drip acid on you until you tell me who you're talking about I will." There was no doubt in her mind that Mina would do just that, knowing her she was probably already looking up train times. "I need a name girl, spill it."
"Izuku Midoriya." It was impossible to say that name and not smile.
"Holy shit!" Mina screeched the sound of her legs kicking something sounded through the phone. "Do you hear how you say his name? I swear I can basically hear you smile. So, what's he like? Wait, he's not Katsuki's friend is he?"
"Yea, he is, and well he's just-"
"Holy shit!" Mina interrupted. "Does he have messy green hair?"
Another sigh, she wanted to run her fingers through it. "Yea."
"Is he kind of on the skinny side? With freckles on his face?"
"Yea," her eyes fluttered. "He has pretty green eyes too, and cute looking freckles, and he's-"
"Holy shit girl! Do you know who this is? It's Izuku Midoriya! One of the top young scientists at I-Island!"
One last sigh, her body completely melted in the still steaming bath. "Yea,"
"Holy shit," Mina said again. "You really fell hard for this guy didn't you?"
"Is it that obvious?" She half cared, she half didn't. Katsuki knew and she knew that Mina was going to find out sooner or later.
"Girl, have you heard how you said," Mina sighed in a way that she could hear her eyes fluttering. "Yea? Cause like, really, that sounds like something out of a romance movie. And it's adorable!"
More squealing came from the other side of the phone.
"Is it that obvious?" She whined sitting back up in the tub so that her chest bobbed on top of the water. Her shoulders were cold.
"I call dibs on being your first bridesmaid!"
"What?" Marriage! She sunk back down into the water, covering her head and hoping that it was the heat making her face warm. Nope, it was her blush. And her well, her everything. She screamed in the water forcing bubbles up before she shot out gasping for air. "I've only known him for like two days! We haven't even gone on a date yet!"
"Well, do you know if he likes you?" Mina stretched out the word 'like' so long that she could practically hear the pink girl wiggling them.
She nodded, despite the fact that Mina couldn't see her. "I mean, he kept looking at me, and we talked for hours about random stuff, stuff that I still don't understand. And he kept smiling and stuff, and then Katsuki said that he liked me too, so I think he does."
"So you asked him out right?" Mina squealed, kicking her legs again. "Ahh, I'm so excited! Eiko finally has a crush!"
"I haven't asked him out yet. I mean, I just met him."
"You're so innocent I think I might puke." Mina gave a half gag. "So, when's the next time you're going to see the world's most eligible scientist?"
"Soon," She muttered, lips just above the water. "He invited me over some time to show me some stretches that will help me with my quirk."
"So basically you're going to show up at his place and you're going to do a nerdy version of the yoga instructor sex trope?"
"Mina!" She shouted, her embarrassment jumping out of the water and taking her along for the ride. "It's not like that!"
"Uhh huh, well anyways, I'm coming over tomorrow and we're going to get you a nice pair of Yoga pants and a sports bra that will support your boulders while showing them off."
"What? But I-"
"See ya tomorrow!"
The phone call ended, leaving her standing alone in her bathtub dripping wet, with nothing but the sound of her own beating heart. Slowly she sunk back down and stared at the water, it wasn't as warm as before.
"She makes it sound like I'm that easy, and that it's that easy."
XXXX
Shopping with Mina was an event and a half. Somehow it was more tiring than her longest day with Katsuki. And it cost money! Plus, half the clothes she'd forget about in a couple of weeks and just resort to a T-shirt and sweats when she wasn't working out, training, or patrolling. It also meant that she was probably going to have to eat a salad or something instead of a giant burger filled with meat and other unhealthy stuff.
Sighing, she turned to look at herself in the mirror. The plain, uninteresting T-shirt she had on fell past her hips and made Mina frown when they first met up, and even now it was obstructing the view of her bottom.
Despite their name, yoga pants weren't really for yoga. Sure they could be used for them, but the vast majority of the time, they were for one thing and one thing only. Showing off a girls butt.
Eiko owned sweats and pajama pants.
"Is this really necessary?" She asked, turning in the mirror, folding up the bottom of her shirt just enough to see what exactly it was doing to her butt. It wasn't really a lot, but the color was a nice red. "Really, why are these so-"
A pair of hands shot out from beyond the curtain as Mina lunged into the changing room, her hands diving under Eiko's shirt and crawling up her stomach, before cupping her breasts. "Damn girl!"
"Mina!" She squirmed, pushing her friend away from her. "What gives! You're worse that Mineta!"
"Hehe, sorry," The pink haired and pink skin girl just laughed like it was no big deal and stuck out her tongue. "You just dress so boring I wasn't sure if you'd gone up a cup size and had to check for myself. Besides, have you seen your boobs? If they were mine I'd be playing with them a lot!"
She was starting to question Mina's sexuality. Hell if Katsuki was gay, and she couldn't tell until someone told her, there was a good chance that Mina was too! Wait, Mina had a boyfriend. "Still, you could have just asked."
She pushed her shirt back down over the Yoga pants and flattened it out. "But, no, I haven't gained any weight, so I'm still the same size."
"Cool!" Mina handed her a small brightly colored sports bra. "Try this on then, I want to see how it looks."
"This? But it's so small, it won't cover anything!" Seriously, her usual sports bras were much larger, if she so much as tried to run in this thing everything was going to be flying out all over the place!
"The point is to make him look at you!" Mina nodded to herself. "Believe me stick your babies in that and you'll be using your hardening quirk on him in no time. Wait is that how they're so perky?"
Why did she agree to this? Oh right, she was nervous and she wanted things to go well when she went to see Izuku again. "But, I'll be wearing a shirt over this so he won't even be able to-"
"Girl, seriously, you're going to walk up to his door wearing those Yoga pants because they make our ass look fantastic, and just that sports bra, then in nine months you're going to name your kid after me."
"Mina!"
"Now hurry up, after this we're going lingerie shopping!" Mina spun, exiting the changing room with a flourish. "Ahh, I'm so happy you're interested in someone! Momo was a lot less fun than you."
Lingerie? She was going to die of embarrassment, wasn't she?
AN: This was fun to write probably because boobs. Next chapter more awkward fluff!
