It started as a basic patrol during their second year at U.A. Midoriya and Mineta somehow got paired together for the school-sponsored hero work. They both had their hero costumes on, so it would be obvious of their status as fledgling heroes. A summer breeze went by as the two walked side by side across the street. There was not much activity in the section of the city they had been tasked to talk around in, so Mineta decided to try and have some fun.
He turned to his partner, "Hey, Midoriya, doesn't this seem pretty lame." Deku gave him a frown, "There hasn't been much going on. But wouldn't you agree that's a good thing?" Mineta rolled his eyes, damn Midoriya and his good nature. He scoffed, "Sure but this is so boring! Why are we even here? Listen, how about you and me go over to the local pool and check out the girls." Most students were on summer break, but 2-A was tasked by Aizawa to go on a collective hero internship hosted by the Pro Hero Wash. No one was opposed, at least vocally. But Mineta had his own thoughts regarding the internship.
Midoriya turned red at Mineta's suggestion, stuttering out, "W-what? M-Mineta you can't be suggesting stuff like that! We are heroes, let's act like it." Mineta looked up at Midoriya, trying to process a response. Eventually he spoke out, "Don't act like you're a saint. We're both teens here, we're both boys. Come on." Midoriya didn't argue, only glared at the short teen. He was about to say something when he got cut off by a pair of younger girls. "Look! It's him!" The two ran up to Deku. "You're Izuku Midoriya right?" One of them said. The other continued, "We saw you at the sports festival this year!" 2-A already had their second festival by this point. "You were so cool! Like BAM! And POW!" The youngest of the two went on, who was likely around 14 years old.
Mineta felt detached. "Hey! I was at the festival too!" The girls turned to them. "I got to the second round! Come on!" The older one of the duo had a thoughtful look, "Ah, I do remember a short kid there." The younger girl agreed. Mineta smirked, "Maybe then we can hang out sometime." He gave a wink. Midoriya rolled his eyes and said to the girls, "Sorry about him. We are on patrol right now, so we should get going." He gave a nudge to Mineta. The girls seemed to have gotten the message, silently nodding and walking by them.
Mineta acted dramatic and surprised, "What the hell Midoriya? You could have joined in too! We are heroes, sure, but we have hormones. Come on! You got to relate." Midoriya started to grit his teeth and said, "I don't act on my urges. I have boundaries." He sped up past Mineta, clearly pissed. Mineta shouted out, "Fine! Do your patrol or whatever." They split apart.
Mineta stomped down the street, pouting from Midoriya interfering with his plans. Damnit, why was it so hard just to get some girls to notice him? Throughout his time at U.A. he kept trying to indulge his natural urges, but every time some saint-like student or teacher got in his way. Why was it just him and Kaminari that were honest with themselves? So caught up in his thoughts, he did not even notice when he bumped hard into an older woman, actually knocking her on the ground, her phone sliding toward the road.
He got back up in a panic. Knocking over such a fine specimen like that, he was ashamed of himself. He went over to pick her up, but made sure to get a quick feel of her as she was being pulled up by the short teen. The woman drew back in surprise, "What did you just do?" Mineta acted dumb, "Got you up?" "No-you know what I mean. You did that on purpose!" She screamed at him, starting to cause a scene in the middle of the sidewalk. "I don't know what you mean babe." That was a step too far, even for Mineta. She screamed again, grasping at her head. He walked back a few meters. Her body started pulsating, transforming into some anthropomorphic lizard, with a face able to turn even Mineta off.
The thing growled and turned towards Mineta. It charged directly at him at inhuman speeds, nearly reaching him before he suddenly got pulled into a park right behind him. He got thrown into a tree, knocking his head on a branch as he reached the top. Midoriya was there, with an indecipherable face, staring at Mineta seemingly unamused. The shadow-like tendrils of Blackwhip returned to Midoriya. The freak woman ran towards the park, not quite knowing where Mineta went.
Midoriya decided it was a good time to speak up, "You and I need to have a talk."
