Chapter 6

With that settled they both went back to the dorms, chatting about their hobbies and lives outside of U.A. Both trying to smooth over what had happened earlier.

Mina was surprised to know that Izuku liked video games, and Izuku was puzzled when Mina mentioned that she used to play the piano when she was little.

"You used to play the piano? How come?" Izuku asked.

"Well I have always loved music, and when I was little I wanted to play an instrument."

"However, it was a lot harder than I thought, and little me melted the piano in a tantrum."

Hearing this Izuku stifled a laugh because, it seemed like such a Mina thing to do.

"What's so funny?" she asked with an annoyed face.

Izuku knew that she was only feigning annoyance, but seeing this face as well just made him giggle a bit harder until he just had to let it out.

He laughed for a minute, and plainly told her," It just seems like something you would have done."

Realizing now what Izuku was laughing at, Mina hit his shoulder while giggling a bit too.

"Not funny! I loved that piano!" Mina said, which was a lie.

Hearing this, but not getting the hint, Izuku stopped laughing and turned white, thinking he offended his friend.

Before he had a chance to apologize however, Mina leaned towards him and shushed him with a finger to his lips.

"Zip it, that was a joke Midoriya." she said with a stern look.

Izuku's heart had already started beating faster, and he couldn't handle how close they were getting.

Mina's finger on his lips also sent his brain into a sensory overload.

He continued walking on autopilot, all while thinking about his interactions with Mina.

Her finger on his lips

Her closeness during the movie

Catching her in his arms

Finally, her golden irises staring back at him from an inky sea of black.

A void within him was being filled by those eyes.

"Izuku?"

Hearing his name brought Izuku back to reality, but he couldn't help but gawk at the pink girl in front of him

He looked up at Mina, seeing a concerned look on her face.

He smiled and said,"I'm so sorry Ashido, I spaced out again."

Mina lit up once again, but felt disappointed that Izuku had switched back to a family name basis again. On the other hand however, she decided that it would have to change soon.

"It's fine Midoriya, but let's go inside!"

Unknowingly, Izuku finally realized that they had finally made it back to the dorms.

"Oh f*ck." Izuku thought.

"I hope I don't run into Kirishima or Kacchan."

However, Izuku's hopes were ruined when he recognized a certain spiky redhead's hair over the common room couch.

Mina, excited to see her friend called out to Kirishima.

"Kiri! I'm back and I brought someone with me!"

Kirishima, just as energetic as Mina, perked up and talked over his shoulder.

"Your boyfriend I presume?" he joked.

Mina blushed a bit, but fired right back at Kirishima

"So what if he is, you jealous?"

She wiggled her eyebrows and stuck her tongue out at him and Kirishima went redder than his hair.

"Uh no i-it's not like that, I-i just w-wondered how you guys started dating s-since you n-never talk much."

Izuku was mortified, but he still let out a snort as he watched this unfold.

Mina laughed at the face Kiri made, but made the point that Izuku wasn't her boyfriend.

"Relax Kiri Izuku isn't my boyfriend, we just kinda… Um…"

She was at a lost for words when trying to come up with an adjective to describe the night they shared.

"Connected." was what Mina eventually told Kirishima.

Kirishima knew his best friend pretty well and could tell that she was leaving something out.

"Alright well what are you guys doing here?"

"Well, me and Midoriya were gonna watch this cool documentary! Wanna see it with us?"

Kirishima shook his head,"I'm sorry but this show I like is about to come up."

"C'monnnnnnnnn Kiri you gotta see it with us."

Before Kirishima could respond however, his show came back on and both Izuku and Mina were surprised.

Mina and Izuku were just surprised.

"You watch Power Rangers?" Mina chuckled a bit.

"HEY DON'T FORGET I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WATCH!" Kirishima shouted.

Mina shut her lips immediately, because nobody could ever know that she still watched My Little Pony.

She sighed, victory was his.

"Alright point taken, well I'm gonna go watch our series, so see ya later Kiri!"

Izuku, who had just been watching the two best friends, furrowed his brow.

"Ashido, where are we gonna watch it?"

"My room!" she exclaimed.

Both boy's jaws dropped as they watched her skip away.

stopped working and he turned into a red star, emitting awkwardness and nervousness.

At this point Izuku could no longer function at all and just sat down in the middle of the hallway while holding his head.

"I'm not dating her"

"You want to though"

"I'm going to my crush's room"

"People think I'm dating her"

"I-I don't know if I'm even good enough"

"What do I do-"

"Get up already Midoriya!" she tried to pull him up to no avail.

With blank eyes Izuku looked at her and just complied.

He tried to calm himself, and then the mental overload was gone.

However, he was met by a pink room with black accents.

"I'm in for one hell of a day." Izuku thought.

A/N- Sorry for taking so long to update this! I was on vacation with family and getting ready for school. However, I'm not back home and settled back into my routine so I will be getting back to weekly/bi-weekly chapters!
