There was something downright divine about a girl fresh out of the bath.

Nejire was Nejire, as always, which meant she was hotter than a two-dollar pistol, and bubblier than any pop this side of Tokyo. Gone was the fitness look she had on earlier in the day that gave him a look at her tummy, and in its stead was something that Izuku could only describe as nice. The plain light blue shirt she had on was modest except when it wasn't, and the skirt she had on seemed intent on swaying with her every single movement. Her long blue hair that twirled behind her was still held tight by a scrunchie that deserved several medals for its efforts.

Then there were those pretty blues of hers that could make even the prettiest day green with envy. They seemed supercharged, lively, and Izuku found himself hard pressed to look away from her.

Or at least, he would have been had it not been for the sight of Mei.

A freshly-scrubbed Mei in plain clothes was downright radiant. Her hair had gone from looking like insulation foam to cotton candy, and the rest of her was just as sweet. The black trousers she had on appeared to be hanging onto her hips as though their life depended on it with only a tied belt to provide any assistance. Much like Nejire her shirt was ordinary, and much like Nejire's it was deceitful in its plainness. The light blue fabric made Mei's golden eyes and pink hair pop, while the dark blue gear on her chest was distorted by her lovely lady lumps.

But there was something ever so slightly off about the way Mei was being Mei. She seemed more muted than normal just in the way she carried herself. It was like that brief moment of satisfaction she got after makin' a new gizmo but extended beyond its usual duration of time between projects. Which for Mei could be as few as two seconds in the negative. It wasn't a bad look for her, just different.

How in tarnation did he end up with two crushes? He could barely even handle the one! Now that he was hanging out with that crush, he developed a crush on the girl he'd been hanging out with. What in the sam-hickery-fuck was he supposed to do about all this then?

"Howdy." Izuku nodded to the two girls as they met up near one of the best local places to eat: some BBQ shop that was just the right mix of cheap, easy, and good. Besides, who didn't like BBQ?

"Howdy!" Nejire jumped the last few steps towards him, likely using her quirk to float to extend her airtime. She had a great big smile on her face that Izuku couldn't help but match. "Thanks for waiting!"

"Oh, it weren't nothin," Izuku hummed and glanced towards Mei. "Did uhh, something happen? Well besides the whole make-up thing?"

"Oh we talked! And we went to the bath! It was a lot of fun."

How was the bath fun? Well, if it was with a girl he reckoned it might be a bit of fun?

"She'll be fine though, I think she's still processing a lot of stuff though and—"

Mei stopped and looked up at Izuku then looked at Nejire, then looked up at Izuku. "I have a crush on you. Nejire also wants to date you, and she also wants to date me and we bathed together and there was so much boob and I think I want to date Nejire too, but she said that she has a plan that involves all of us dating each other and I think that's a great idea."

Nejire slammed her forehead.

Izuku felt a headache brewing that would likely last a lifetime and a half with how things were going today. He stared at Mei who was looking up at him like a lost puppy with a great big smile on her face then towards Nejire who looked at Mei with a mixture of disbelief and something that bordered on hysterical.

Cooler heads prevailed.

"Mei, there's a proper way to handle things." Nejire said in a soft voice and placed a hand on Mei's shoulder.

"What's wrong with telling the truth?" Mei asked.

"I legit can't even argue that."

"Alright," Izuku held up both of his hands, one for each of the petite women that took up more space in his head than a pair of tractors. "I'm going to need y'all to run that by me nice and slow like because my country boy brain ain't too sure what's what."

Mei opened her mouth but Nejire covered it with her hand.

"Sure, but uhh, let's sit downto eat first alright?" Nejire glanced up towards the building. "I think this place has private booths."

XXXX

A sizzling grill separated him from the two girls that were spouting nonsense just a few minutes ago.

He could barely understand one crush.

And he was confident he could figure out what to do with a girlfriend if he got one, treat them real nice, tell 'em they're pretty, and just be himself around them while they did their day by day. He was sure there was a whole maze of other stuff, but he'd figure that out bit by bit.

But now all that was having a neat little wrench thrown into it as both girls he fancied wanted to do something that was downright unorthodox.

Not that there was anything wrong with not being normal; he was pretty sure he'd been unorthodox since the day he showed up to U.A.

"Alright," Izuku stared at the sizzling meat he'd been cultivating for the past five minutes. He poked it softly with the chopstick and then flipped it to the side, sending a fresh spurt of succulent meaty juices up into the air. "Run that by me again."

"Huh?" Nejire wiped a bit of drool from her mouth and smiled sweetly at him. "Sorry, I was distracted by how sexy you are when you're cooking."

Mei grunted in response.

"Now look, flattery works on me, but I'm trying to figure out what the hell you two are talking about." Izuku directed a chopstick towards Mei, "As far as I'm aware just yesterday she was glaring at you like a cat that was fifteen minutes early to dinner."

Nejire giggled.

"And you, now I'm pretty darn sure my crush on you was a one-sided affair, and now out of nowhere you like me back? And then both of yous are talking about all of us dating all of us." Izuku sighed and started to doll out the meat, making sure to deliver the best to both Mei's and Nejire's plates. "And this is probably the fact that I'm a country boy, but I feel like I'm missing several steps."

"That's Mei's fault." Nejire pointed a chopstick towards Mei. "She jumped the gun with the confession."

Mei shrugged. "I thought being honest was important."

"It is," Nejire sighed, "but we could have done this smoother."

"Alright, y'all can save the bickering for later." Izuku shoved a piece of meat into his mouth and savored its juicy flavors for a moment before he pointed his chopstick back at Nejire. "So, please, explain why you want this, because I'm at a loss."

Mei nodded in agreement.

Nejire whined and sunk deeper into her seat. "Well, it's going to sound pretty shallow from me." She poked at her own dinner before placing the chopsticks down. "But there's a lot of reasons I think. Actually, this might sound super bad, but basically, I'm physically attracted to both of you. Izuku, you're like, really tall, and really buff, and that just does things for me. Mei has really nice boobies and she's super cute, and I want to do things to her."

"So it's purely physical?"

"Nope!" Nejire hummed, "Mei's also really interesting and I like to hear her talk about stuff I don't understand, and you're also the same way, Izuku!" Nejire sat up in her seat and started to bounce slightly. "You're both so passionate about what you do it's amazing! It's really attractive and I love hearing you two talk! And you're both amazing at it too! Like I can ask you both so many questions and get so many awesome answers about amazing things!" Nejire had her elbows tucked into her sides while she waved her hands about in a way that was just far too cute, even for her. "And you're both nice and stuff! Like, I want to get to know you both romantically."

Well that had his heart doing all kinds of wonderful things.

"Okay?" Nejire looked between both of them then locked eyes with Izuku. "Does that work?"

"Does stuff include what happened in the bath?"

"And more."

"What happened in the bath?" Izuku asked.

"You can find out when you join us."

Izuku was pretty sure he heard the couple in the next booth cough.

Mei blinked and then nodded. "That sounds like fun."

"Also!" Nejire bounced in her seat again holding a single finger up like she was giving a lesson. "Think about it. If you agree you get to have two super hot and sexy girlfriends, that's a better deal than a lot of guys get. And I get to have a giant country hunk and a sexy greasy monkey! Mei gets to have you and me, and I think she needs us."

Izuku swallowed another bite of meat and closed his eyes.

"I understand what you're saying, but, just, y'know," Izuku scratched the back of his neck, "I mean, I don't want no broken feelings or nothin', but I also figured my first romance would be a bit more normal, y'know?"

"You should have thought about that before getting a crush on me and seducing Mei." Nejire snapped her fingers. "But, it's not like this is set in stone or anything, I have no idea what we're doing either so we can change things to make it work, and if we don't like it, we can end it. But I have a feeling it's going to be great."

"Well, I mean, you're both prettier than a junebug sippin' cola—" Why did they both squirm at that? "—so I'd be out of my mind to say no to both of you." He took in a long steady breath and leveled a look at them both. "Just so long as this is something you both want."

Mei shuddered.

And Nejire nodded. "If you keep looking at me like that, hell yes."

How on earth was he going to keep up with two girls at once?

And what in the name of all that was good and swell in the world was he going to tell his mother?
