"You know…" Ochako muttered as she, Mei, Momo, and Katsumi relaxed on the couch, away from the main hall where the rest of their classmates were having a movie night Mei skipping through blueprints on her phone, "Izuku spent a week with Miruko."

"...and?" Mei mumbled back, not really paying attention.

"Do you think she came onto him?"

The channel surfing ceased, and all faces turned to Ochako.

Mei's head tilted to the side, hand cupping her chin. "I mean, from what I saw in the sports festival… she might've?"

"He might've been receptive too…" Katsumi admitted with a scratch of her neck, "He had a thing for her."

Mei's eyebrows furrowed. "He had a thing for the hyper, grumpy, angry bunny and you thought he didn't love you back?"

"I- uh-" the blonde blinked, "am I that much like Miruko?"

"The personalities match up from what I know…" Momo added with a hum. "But wait does that mean…"

"I didn't ask him but…" Ochako blushed. "With his… endurance last time, I doubt he… y'know..."

"I'm torn between punching him in the throat for turning down Miruko, or hugging him," Katsumi huffed.

"We really need to set up rules," Momo admitted with a sigh. "...would any of you be opposed if someone else joined anyway?"

"..." Katsumi looked away.

Mei shook her head with a smile, "I really don't mind as long as he loves them back- and I guess if she got along with me?"

"I'm… yeah- what Mei said." Ochako admitted with a blush. "I'm kinda- I was kinda worried if he would focus on one of us more than the other but… if it's just going to be like this, I'm not against more in our relationship."

"You two just say that cause you-" Katsumi bit her tongue looking away with a heavy blush. "I'm against it before I get a turn," she hissed out, low enough for only them to hear.

"Oh-" Momo mumbled with a sigh, "are you still mad over him not wanting to…"

Katsumi's eyes shined with anger. "You aren't?"

"I mean-" Mei interrupted with her own manic energy, "Pretty sure it was mostly cause he wanted your first time to be more special, you know?"

Ochako hummed, "I know mine was…"

"That doesn't-" Katsumi huffed, deflating into the couch. "It'd better be good."

Kyoka was trying her best to hide her blush over in the kitchen area, along with her snickers.

Izuku blinked blankly, the words failing to register.

Mina panted as if the action of confessing alone had taken the wind out of her, her eyes drilling holes in the floor. "I- I love you, Izuku…"

"I know you- can't…" her hands clasped together, twiddling her thumbs together, "You can't say it back but I…"

Her shoulders shuddered as she took in a deep breath, the moment passing as she slowly realized what she just did.

"Mina-"

"Sorry!"

Before she could run away, his hand gripped around her wrist, stopping her from fleeing.

"Mina it's fine- It's just moving a little too fast for me..." He sighed, ruffling his own hair. "I need to talk with the others," his green eyes locked onto her gold, keeping constant eye contact, trying to convey how fine everything was, "Is that okay?"

She shuddered, not knowing what to do even after most of her body just wanted to flee, get away from the emotions physically, but Izuku had her held down firmly, anchoring her into that moment.

"It's…" she breathed out her shoulders relaxing, his firm yet tender grip helping her with that. It wasn't a no… "It's fine…" slowly calming down her impulse of running away fading. "So… should I wait here?"

"How about your room?" he suggested rubbing calming circles on the back of her hand with his thumb, "I'll be there soon."

"Okay…" she sighed, pulling her hand away from his, looking up at him, her eyes shining softly with affection, "I'll be there."

Hagakure looked at the two of them, before hugging into Mina's side with a giggle, "I'll keep you company, if that's alright with you?"

Izuku smiled at the two and patted their heads. "Thanks Tooru, I just need a second."

".̳..you ̧know ͙t̝hey wou͇l̥d p̼ro̜b͚ably̱ ̮be ̱o͇k̘a̞y ͜wit͖h̝ ̰t͜h̼i̤s ͟rig̦ht?" Nana chimed in, just as the two left his side.

Probably is not good enough.

"All I'm saying is, I'm the best at it," Katsumi rambled with a cocky smirk on her face, leaning back on the couch, "No contest."

"Last I checked, you haven't really done it with him." Mei postulated, poking her ribs, making the woman flinch and hiss, "Not like me and Ochako have."

Katsumi's eyebrow twitched, cheeks blossoming into a blush. "I'll send a picture when I do then, goggles. Show you how it's really done!"

"Are we seriously fighting over who gives the best cuddles?" Momo questioned with a surprisingly elegant raised eyebrow, "If so, I think we all know who the clear winner is."

"He doesn't count!" Katsumi almost spat out, "There is no way any of us can match his technique, not that it would matter since no one else can engulf us like he can-"

The explosive blonde stuttered, realizing what she just admitted, "Not one word."

"Aw, is Queen Explod-o-Kill feeling shy? Even after saying so many blunt things?" Kyoka snickered, her jacks gesturing at the blonde. "Where is the-"

"So you also admit Izuku gives the best hugs?" Mei interrupted, making the punk stutter and stop with her fluster growing rapidly. "Bold"

"Haha! Get FUCKED, Jacks!" Katsumi hollered, laughing harder at the flustered mess Kyoka had become.

"Unlike you," Ochako added absentmindedly, taking a sip of the tea Momo had brewed them.

Mei could hear Katsumi's pride crack like glass, emphasized by the actual sound of glass cracking somewhere that she couldn't tell.

"Ochako!" Momo yelped, trying not to laugh too hard, "you can't just-"

"Guys," Izuku breathed out, exiting the stairwell grinding the conversations to a halt. "We need to talk."

The atmosphere of the room changed, the women dropping everything they were doing. The tone of his voice had said enough about how critical it was for him.

"Oh, you are…" Saiko snapped her fingers as she tried to remember the purple-haired woman's name, "you are the one from the general course that made it into the finals, took down Yaoyorozu- the one with the mind control quirk-"

"You aren't here to make friends, you are here to catch up." Aizawa hissed, rubbing the back of her neck. "Got your test results from Vlad, your cardio and strength are good enough, so we won't need to slow down. Hitsuki, grab your capture tape, we are going through the exercises again."

"Exercises?" Saiko mumbled, tilting her head, swaying her hip out, "Are you going to teach us how to use your capture weapon?"

"You ask too many questions," the tired teacher huffed, pulling out another tape from her neck, tossing it over to the taller girl. "Shut up, watch my lead. This took me too long to learn myself. But you two will have a guide. Not to mention a sparring partner."

The tired demeanor seemed to melt off her face, replaced with a manic smile that just screamed 'Aizawa'

"This is going to be the most rational and efficient way to learn, so don't expect it to be easy."

Both students looked at each other for a second then back at their mentor.

"Right!"

"So… you confessed." Hagakure sighed leaning against Mina in the pink-skinned girl's bed. "That surprised me."

"Mhm..." she sighed, hugging her knees closer to her chest, "it just kinda happened really, I wasn't thinking at all."

"You? Thinking? Since when?" Hagakure joked, prodding her side with a smile in her voice.

Mina yelped, covering her ribs with a hiss "Tooru!" then stuttered, bursting out laughing, "Yeah- I've… always kinda went with my gut, didn't I?"

"Pretty sure that's Kiri rubbing off on you," the invisible woman commented, hand on her chin from what Mina could tell from her shirt. "The whole 'living life without regrets is so manly' thing and all."

"Heh… maybe…" she hummed rubbing her own head. "I never thought it would be like this-"

"Would be scarier if you did. Cause that would've been a time machine, " her friend teased with an over-emphasis at the end, "Honestly though… you are braver than I am…"

"Oh… you too?" Mina sighed, pulling her plushie close and giving it a tight hug.

"I'm… not actually sure." Hagakure admitted, letting off a sigh "I do wanna spend alot of time with him but I don't know if it's just physical… Or if I really wanna get emotional with him- really emotional"

"Ah…" Mina sighed, looking at where her friend was sitting. She kinda had a point.

Do I really love him? Or is it just… lust?

She sighed, trying to get the images of his eyes and body out of her head.

"I'm not that sure now either…"

"Mina confessed?!" Ochako sputtered as the girls filled Izuku's dorm room, "Where is she now? I wanted to congratulate-"

"I told her to hang tight in her room. She's with Tooru right now."

"You didn't say anything back?" Mei muttered looking up at her boyfriend with a pout, "Zuku- thats… wow. You must've really hurt her."

"You should've at least told her that you would think about it." Katsumi mumbled in a rare sight of quiet washing her demeanor.

"I did tell her I would think about it. That's why I'm here, guys. I just… didn't want to give her a yes or no until we had all talked first."

"I mean… if this is you asking permission to add her to our thing ," Ochako mumbled, sitting next to him and clasping his hand, "I'm sure you know the answer to that."

"I just wanted to make sure…" he sighed, leaning against Momo's gentle touch, making her laugh lightly and kiss his temple.

"I'm glad you did… I'm sure we all are," she cooed against his ear, gently nuzzling against him. " I missed you… "

He chuckled lightly in response, "Sorry, was reading the mail. Nothing more than booty calls for the most part… but one stood out, I'll show it to you all later?" He asked, glancing at the women around him.

"I'd love that~" Momo mumbled. The rest nodding with smiles.

"As long as you let me explode the rest of the mail, I'm game, you lovebird." Katsumi sneered, but then the malicious smirk on her face faltered. "We kinda assumed but… do you love her?"

"I…" he sighed leaning away from Momo to look at his lap. Remembering how she had fallen in on it just a few weeks ago, teasing him in his room after the wall incident. "...I'm not that sure if it is love…"

"How can you be unsure after being in love with four people?" Mei mumbled, taking a seat on his lap and looking up into his eyes. "Isn't the feeling the same?"

"Not… really?" he tilted his head, before leaning down and giving the pink inventor a fast kiss on her lips, "I feel different towards all of you- but I know it's love. With her…"

"With her?" Ochako repeated, goading him to continue.

"I'm not that sure, maybe a crush… maybe it would blossom into something more if I gave it time," he huffed, "or maybe I do love her and didn't really notice it so far since I never really thought about it that way."

"Curious, why did she confess now anyway? Did you do something?" Momo questioned, kissing his neck coyly.

"I- hn~" He groaned, the sensation jolting his system a moment later, "I think- she saw one of the pictures I got, and well… maybe she saw our relationship in a new light?"

"She had been on the edge for a while too." Katsumi sighed, rubbing her face, "Remember when we came out to the class?"

"Yeah…" Mei mumbled, leaning against Izuku, "you should go- tell her it's fine. She probably feels like what Mecha Might looked like after the Sports Festival."

"Yeah…" Ochako huffed. "I know what that feels like."

Izuku turned his head and pulled the brunette into a searing kiss that lasted for just a second. "Sorry about that too…"

Ochako mewled in approval, her eyes half-lidded and lips turned in a cute smile, "S'fine, you make it up to me every day~" She leaned in to give him another kiss, and pulled back just as fast as he had. "Now, go make it up to her too. We know it's bothering you."

Izuku sighed, "Sorry it's weird like this- and not simple..." He paused. "After she and I talk, would it be alright if I brought her back here? So we can all talk? I feel like we need to maybe start to do this if I get any more surprise admissions of love." He finished the sentence with a dry laugh, hoping to convey that it was partly a joke.

Mei chuckled, hopping off of his lap and pulling him up, "Well, yeah," she looked around the room, taking note of how all the other women were nodding. "I can't believe we're dating the best man on the planet. Go talk to her, then bring her back and we can navigate this whole thing."

"What Goggles said," Katsumi added pulling him in for a quick kiss. "Don't forget that we're burning thot-letters tonight though!"

"We love you," Momo added, "Now go, talk to her before I wanna snuggle for longer."

"Yeah… thanks, girls."

With that he left the room, leaving the girls to their own devices.

"I'm gonna be mad if he doesn't make it up to her," Mei mumbled, blowing a raspberry and crashing onto his bed with a sigh.

"I think we all would," Ochako added rolling next to her. "Wonder what mail he got…"

"We are not snooping around in his room," Momo mumbled with a huff. She then smiled. "But if we see something… well he did invite us in."

"Don̗'̹t͜ y̗ou th̘in͟k̗ ͔it̞'s w̤e̮i͉rd̤ y̘ou ̻ha̪ven'̙t̪ ͉be̢e̱n̨ ̩i̡n t͈h͓i̡s ͈p̝ar̹ṱ ͜o̗f ͎t̙h̲e̙ ͔bu̧įld̤i͢n͙g̪ ̯s͉inͅcẹ ͓y̞ou͜ got͎ ̱her̲e?̙"

I've never been invited to this side.. so, no? Izuku muttered in his head coming up the stairs to where he knew Mina's room was from the room number list.

He knocked at the door of the normally energetic pinkette, waiting patiently for a response from the other side.

He got what he was waiting for when Hagakure opened the door, bouncing to the side. "She's all yours!"

He patted his invisible friend's head with a smile. "Thanks for keeping her company- I appreciate it…"

"Mhm- but don't get it wrong. I did it for her." She hummed happily before pulling away and staring up to him so harshly that he swore he could see her eyes for a second. "And don't hurt her feelings. I'll-"

He pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head. "I won't I promise- and thank you for being such a great friend."

Hagakure mewled, whimpering about how 'unfair' it all was before pushing away from him and twirling, "Fine, I'll be downstairs. Don't hurt her."

With that, she walked off, leaving him and the woman waiting for him behind the door.

He sighed and turned the knob, walking in silently and taking in the sight.

In the midst of this confession, and the heartache it had brought about he never got to really think about it, but this was the first time he was seeing Mina's room.

"O̠h ̥s͎ẖe̝ h͙as̨ some p͓i̳nk͕ f͕luf͇fy ̻cuf̣fs,̙ I c̪a̹n͔ ̘șme̢ll̳ ̯'̨em,͕" Nana teased as his eyes scanned the frankly gaudy room.

Dark pink and black covered every bit of the room, contrasting with the bubblegum pink woman sitting on her bed, hugging a pink stuffed bunny.

"Hey," he breathed out, his shoulders relaxing, "sorry it took so long…"

"It's fine… sorry for dropping that onto you like that…" she muttered against the head of the bunny, sighing gently, "I thought about it and… maybe I said it prematurely."

"You mean your confession?" Izuku asked, taking a seat on the bed too, crossing a leg under his knee to face her. "...Why do you think that?"

"I kinda… said it in the heat of the moment after seeing one of the pictures you got…" She smiled back with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I might've pulled the trigger early…"

"So… you reacted to one of the pictures?" he hummed gently, looking at her desk, turning away from her. "You know.. I was thinking the same thing"

Mina shuddered, looking down her eyes growing wet. "You were?"

"Things… were going a little too fast, but-" he turned back with a smile, "...I didn't dislike where they were going… if that makes sense."

Mina's heart thumped against her chest. He could tell as much from her flinch. Or he was just projecting with how much his own heart was throbbing against his sternum.

He fought the urge to lean forward and wipe her eyes.

"You… liked where things were going?" she asked softly, voice sounding ready to shatter like glass. "Wh- what do you mean?"

"I... kinda have a crush on this pink, dazzling girl in my class…" he mumbled with a soft smile. "But I'm not sure it's love…"

Mina's beautiful eyes widened, the woman drawing a breath in. "O-oh…"

"Maybe… if I gave it time, I would?" he finished, rubbing the back of his head. "But- I know that's a heavy thing to just say I-"

He was silenced when Mina crawled forward and hugged him tightly, pushing her head against his neck, "I… I think that sounds perfect."

Izuku hugged her back, taking her scent in, enjoying the contact.

It really did feel different than any other time she had hugged him. It was more intimate, soothing and arousing at the same time somehow.

"I have a crush on this- big buff softie in class too…" Mina sighed against his neck, sniffling and pulling back, "I just want to kiss his cheek and see what color he turns."

"H-"

Izuku's inquisitive sound got cut off by a sudden kiss on his cheek from the resident alien queen, his cheeks flushing red in response

"M-Mina!"

The pinkette laughed, leaning against him and causing the two to fall off the bed, Izuku's back taking the brunt of the force with Mina sprawling over his chest, still smiling. "I'm not even sorry. You are adorable."

He took a moment to take it all in, looking up at the woman smiling, the sadness behind her eyes gone. Her hands on his chest, legs straddling his waist still on her bed.

"Oh,͈ w̢h̝ąt̻'s ͅtha̲t-̼ I̠ ̩think̺ ̹I ̗jus̯t fel͓t̩ love ̳i̘nͅ y͉ou̠r ̟c̦o̺l̢d dea̫d͈ he͉ar̯t," Nana teased somewhere in the back of his mind.

Maybe you did. He smiled back, wrapping his arms around Mina and pulling her into a rib-aching hug.

"Oh wow," Mei mumbled, grabbing the picture with Pixie-Bob that had slipped back into the room at one point, her eyes focusing onto the small polaroid. "Didn't know these still existed. And she is hot, that's a plus."

"Gimmie that!" Katsumi huffed, grabbing the picture out of her hand and glaring at it. First Mt. Lady, now Pixie-Bob.

Both blonde, both with more feminine bodies. Both sending her boyfriend almost-nudes.

Part of her whined that she didn't have breasts like those two. Part of her knew Izuku loved her even if she wasn't the most 'feminine'.

'Maybe that's why he hasn't done anything with you,' a dark voice in her head mumbled, silenced by a firm shake of her head.

"God- how many of these did he get?" she hissed, tossing the picture onto the pile on Izuku's desk.

"How many single heroines are there?" Ochako mumbled, rolling in Izuku's bed and staring at his ceiling. Somehow, she had missed even that.

Love's weird…

A knock alerted all, before Izuku slowly opened the door, his other hand intertwined with Mina's

"We… had our talk," he mumbled with a smile. "We're gonna test the waters. Taking it slow."

Mina smiled and nodded., "Hope you four don't mind me crashing the party.."

Mei was at her side, already pulling her into a side-hug., "Same hair!"

"Same hair!"

Both chuckled as Mei pulled her into the room, already bombarding her with questions over her hero suit and quirk.

Momo grabbed Izuku by the wrist pulling him in too hugging his side, "See, that wasn't that bad was it?"

"You are only saying that cause you wanna see more romance happening," Izuku huffed with a tired smile, "but… thank you."

Momo chuckled, kissing his cheek, then pulling his head down for a kiss on the lips. "Don't mention it- either of it," she added with a wink.

"Now… which letter was the one that was interesting?"
