There is less than a week until the day of the festival, both of them were still training with big intensity than before, Mina had managed to scratch his abdomen with her acid and Shoto rip her clothes with his ice every time, more than once he had to lend her some of his clothes so they could continue training, those clothes were too big for her
Mina fell on the ground breathing heavily, the sun was extremely hot that day and it was not a good idea to wear black cloth, luckily Shoto with his ice made a small cover for her to keep her cool.
"Much better, thanks" Mina smiled and melted a part to grab a piece and put it on her forehead "This heat is melting me, ironic" She started to laugh at her own joke and looked at Shoto who was still with his typical serious expression " ¿What will we do tomorrow? "
"Rest, if we continue training at this rate every day, we will get at the festival exhausted" Shoto sat next to her leaning on the ice "The body needs to rest Ashido"
"¡Okie Dokie!" Mina smiled happy to hear that she would have rest, which gave her an idea "Since we are going to rest, ¿Why don't we do something together?"
"¿Together?" Shoto asked raising an eyebrow "¿Like a study group or something?"
"No Pretty Boy, I was thinking about something like going to the movies, or to the park, or playing video games, you know ... A date"
"¿D-Date?" As incredible as it seemed Shoto had never had a date, he was not very social before UA and many girls were scared to talk to him because of his cold eyes and personality, but Mina was not the case "S-Sure"
"¡¿He said yes?! Wow I didn't think I would go that far "It was what Mina had in mind trying to hide her great emotion" Hehe, and… ¿What would you like to do? "
"Well ... I'm not very good with dating stuff ... ¿How about we do whatever you want?"
"¡This is going better than I thought!" Mina thought as she smiled "¿What if… we go dance? I know a very good place hehe "
"Y-sure" Shoto said doubting the decision he just made, only one thought came to his mind "¿What did I get myself into?"
"¡Great!" Mina got up and went to change to the bathroom, she could not help sending a message to Hagakure which she was not going to believe
Shoto just looked up at the sky and gave a big sigh, let the ice melt and went back to the house, after a few minutes Mina left already dressed to go home
"So, ¿At what time?"
"Oh I-I'll let you know at night; I have something to do first."
Mina nodded and kissed his cheek before leaving, Shoto just caressed his cheek with his hand and then shook his head, he should focus on the mission of that night
At night…
The 2 Todoroki brothers were in a truck with equipment for the league, which Shoto was driving
"Idiot not so fast" Dabi said trying not to throw up "¿Is this your first time driving or what?"
"Well it is" Shoto said, speeding up "¿Is there something for me in one of those boxes?"
"I don't know and I don't care" Dabi closed his eyes and moved his seat back to fall asleep.
"Hey ... I assume you've never had a date"
"¿Why the fuck do you assume that?" Dabi opened his eyes offended by those words
"It's obvious"
"¿Why is it obvious? Speak before I force you to crash into a house "
"Well, your whole body is burned and I don't want to know to what point, you have rusty staples and you smell like you haven't touched the water in a long time"
"Shut up… ¿Why so much interest in that stupid thing on dates?"
"For nothing ... Curiosity ..."
Dabi had already assumed what his younger brother was trying to say, but he didn't say anything just to annoy him. When they reached the League hideout, everyone grabbed their respective new gear
After grabbing her new knives and mask, the blonde girl approached Shoto with a smile "Heyee Todo-kun, a little bird told me you have questions about dating, you are lucky" She smiled more showing her fangs "Master Toga will teach you everything about it "
On the day of the date, Shoto had told her to meet at noon, so that they could eat something before going to the place that Mina had in mind for them to dance.
She couldn't hide his excitement, which shot out when she saw how the bicolor boy was dressed, her eyes widened and it seemed that they were shining "Woah" Shoto was wearing a black button-down shirt, but he left the top 2 without buttoning, some blue jeans light to dark tone and his hair was the same style as always, but that fascinated him, Mina quickly approached him and took his hands "Wow, you look very .. Wow"
"¿Does that mean I look good?"
"¡Of course!" Mina smiled and blushed a little as she realized he was holding her hands "Y-You said we were going to eat, ¿Right?"
"Sure, you tell me where, I invite"
"What a gentleman Pretty Boy" Mina smiled and turned her head to look for some place where she could have lunch "¡Look! I didn't know they had opened a sushi place on this street"
Shoto saw how her eyes shone a little more just looking at the place, he squeezed her hand a little and took her there, they attended them and took them to their table to check the menu and then order
"I don't know what to order, they all look so delicious, ¿What is your favorite sushi Todo?"
"I ... I ..." He had no idea, he had eaten sushi before, but not so much to remember the names of each roll "Anyone will be fine"
Mina giggle and made a sign so that they could be served "Ask me for 6 tuna rolls please" Mina said as she got up and went to the bathroom
Shoto would ask the same as her so that there would be no confusion whatsoever
"¿Ready to order?" Said the waiter as he approached the table
"Yes, I would get 12 tuna rolls," Shoto said as he handed him the menus.
"¿And for the pretty lady?"
Shoto widened his eyes upon hearing that, then remembered the words Toga said to him.
"If someone tries to flirt or hurt your date, ¡Stab! ... No that's mine ... Make disappear"
His gaze changed to a colder one and his tone of voice also "I would prefer someone else to attend to us ... Someone who is not in danger of being burned at this moment"
The waiter step back when he knew the mistake he had made when calling someone else's date that way, he apologized to Shoto and told one of his companions to take care of them in his place, a few minutes later Mina returned to her seat, he just stared at it
Shoto got a little nervous when he felt the pink girl's gaze on him, he can swear she hasn't blinked in a while
"¿Why you look me so much, Ashido?"
"I try to see what your best profile is" Mina smiles and tilted her head "I'm sure it's the left one"
"¿The left one? But the scar ... "
"¡It makes you look more attractive! ¡It looks perfect on you! "
Shoto turned his gaze so that she wouldn't notice that he had made her blush.
"Awww, ¿Is someone blushing?" Mina smiled and tried to get a better look at his face, just at that moment the food arrived and they both began to eat "I didn't know you liked the tuna roll Todo"
"Neither me, it's something new" Shoto spoke as he took the sushi roll with the chopsticks and ate it, then he saw a small green mass next to his plates "¿What is that?"
"¿That? It's wasabi "Mina took some and held it up "¿Do you want to try it? "
How bad could it be, after trying it, she drank both her drink and Mina's quickly, she just laughed at what happened, not as a joke, she thought the reaction he had to wasabi was cute
"Well ... ¿Do you like it?"
"No ... But I'll take a bit." Shoto had planned to get revenge on his brother for forcing him to drive and almost crashing several times.
When they finished eating, Mina took him directly to the place to dance, it was a kind of club where they played music of all kinds, once they entered Mina dragged him to the center of the floor and began to dance, Shoto just watch her because he had no idea what to do or how to do it
"¡Come on! ¡It's easy! ¡Just follow the music"
That advice didn't help either, luckily the next song was to be danced as a couple, but at a fast pace. Mina took advantage and held his hands and looked into his eyes with a big smile
"Try to follow my movements"
He nodded and looked down, his feet little by little synchronizing with hers just like his body.
"¡Good! ¡You got it!" Mina smiled more and let him give her a spin, her smile disappeared when she saw some people and she quickly turned to him hoping they had not seen her
"¿What happened? ¿I did it wrong?"
"N-no, you did amazing, is that ..." Mina turned her gaze to a group of girls and boys, who were from her old school.
"¿They are your friends?"
"N-no, they used to bully me and make my life miserable before UA"
Shoto widened her eyes when she heard that, she couldn't imagine someone treating her bad "¿Why?"
Mina pushed him into a corner so they wouldn't see them and could talk "Because of my color and my eyes ... They called me a phenomenon and much more ..."
"I don't understand why, your eyes are very pretty and the color doesn't matter"
Mina blushed slightly and hugged him quickly
"Let's keep dancing ..."
SPLASH
Her body shuddered when she felt something fall on her back, more precisely an ice-cold drink, they both turned their eyes to a girl who was returning to the group that Mina had mentioned while everyone laughed
Mina tried not to cry and only went to the bathroom to try to dry herself
Shoto frowned and clenched his fists tightly and addressed the group, touched the shoulder of one of the girls and they all saw "Excuse me"
"But look what a beautiful thing came to us" Said one of the girls approaching Shoto, the others did the same and began to touch his arms and abdomen
That only made him angrier "¿Why did you spill a drink on my friend?" He said in a calm tone
"¿The pink one? Pffff that was a joke" Said the girl who spilled the drink on Mina
"Yes handsome, ¿Why don't you leave her and join us? If you want you can bring us another drink since she threw hers "
Everyone started laughing at that, Shoto turned around and went to the bar to buy 2 drinks and went back to the group
"¡That's it!" Said the girl smiling and approaching him
Before she took it Shoto threw them right in her face and then threw the glass against her face too, luckily it was plastic
"You were right, it's fun" Shoto said with a smirk on his face
"¡¿What's wrong, you idiot?!" One of the boys approached Shoto and try hit him in the face, which Shoto dodged, then froze his fist and hit him right in the jaw making him fall against the table, they all saw their friend who was unconscious and bleeding scared, since Shoto broke his jaw and several teeth
"Get out of here before I really hurt you" Shoto threatened with a terrifying look.
They quickly left the place dragging their friend, Shoto went to the bathroom door to wait for Mina, he wiped the blood on his pants so she wouldn't see it
After a few minutes she came out still shivering from the cold of one of the ices that had entered her blouse and went down her back "S-Sorry for ruining our..."
"You didn't ruin anything" Shoto took off his shirt and put it on her as a coat, luckily he had a white one underneath the one he was wearing.
Mina smiled and hugged the shirt "Thank you" She blushed a lot more when she felt how Shoto gave her a soft kiss on the head and looked into his eyes, took her by surprise, Mina listened to the music they played and hugged Shoto laying her head down against his chest, so they could dance a slow, she felt him wrap her in his arms and lay his head against hers, a bigger smile formed on her face and she hid her face in his neck
They were like this for hours until they left the club, Shoto noticed that those idiots were still in the area so he called a trusted driver to take Mina home
"¿Not coming?" Asked the pink girl getting into the car
"No, I have something to do, remember to rest and see you on Friday for the last training"
Mina nodded and kissed his cheek "I'll give you your shirt back that day ..."
"If you want to keep it, I don't use it much anyway"
Mina smiled and hugged the shirt more, then closed the door and the driver took her home, the driver is Mr. Compress, when he saw that the car turned the corner, his gaze went to the group that bothered Mina and follow them
At night, in the League's shelter, Dabi and Toga were sitting on the couch eating some chips and playing darts when Shoto enter and the blonde were the first to go towards him.
"So ... ¡¿How did it go?!" Toga asked with a big smile.
"Good ... Until some idiots ruined everything by throwing her a drink, but I did what you told me to"
"¿What do you mean?" Dabi said looking at them both
Shoto said nothing and just went to his room, what he did not notice was that his hands had left the knob with blood and some drops on the floor that followed him to his room
"Dabi ... ¿Do you think he...?"
"No doubt, he killed them" Dabi said as a smile formed on his face, just like Toga's.
