Twisted Nightmares
Chapter 26
New Message
Mineta exchanges texts while on a rather long walk.
After the other exams, Mineta and Sero made a plan to work together to ambush Midnight, and surprisingly, it actually worked. After setting up a trap, they managed to trap her, and both ran for the goal, to their classmates surprise. They were promptly given congratulations by Midnight for their skills, and Midnight even managed to notice Mineta's behavior change as well, to the boy's delight. Although he noticed that his legs shook when the exam ended, but he steeled his breath and shrugged it off, assuming he was just feeling the aftermath of the adrenaline rush.
Feels pretty good that someone noticed and didn't need 100 apologies, Mineta thought to himself as he walked on the sidewalk. Midoriya managed to pass his exam, just like last time. Although that wasn't really surprising, considering it was Midoriya.
But others didn't pass, such as Kaminari and Mina, who seemed pretty down after the exams. The pair seemed to be the most crushed that they didn't pass, although Mineta tried to reassure them that they'd be fine anyways, but it was proving to be rather difficult.
Kaminari
(5:25 P.M.) Mineta: Hey man.
(5:29 P.M.) Kaminari: What
(5:30 P.M.) Mineta: Oh. Are you...not in the mood to chat? I can back off if you want man.
(5:33 P.M.) Kaminari: no, that's not
(5:33 P.M.) Kaminari: ugh. sorry about that its just im so mad at myself for being such a moron
(5:34 P.M.) Mineta: Why do you say that? :/
(5:36 P.M.) Kaminari: you saw me during my exam didnt you? I was just running around like a complete idiot while nezu swung at us with a wrecking ball
(5:36 P.M.) Kaminari: funny how people say I suddenly become stupid after excessive use of my quirk but it seems that im just stupid by default
(5:37 P.M.) Kaminari: seems that I dont need my quirk to be an idiot
(5:39 P.M.) Mineta: I'm sorry. To be entirely honest, I think you were cheated out of a fair exam.
(5:41 P.M.) Kaminari: what? cheated? what do you mean by that
(5:43 P.M.) Mineta: Yeah. Look at it from my point of view. You and Mina had the lowest placements grade wise, and the teachers obviously know this. Somehow, you get get pitted up against the smartest creature alive for your exam. Does that sound fair?
(5:46 P.M.) Kaminari: huh. now that you mention it that is kinda dumb. Doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. but why would they do that? other students had it way easier with their exams
(5:48 P.M.) Mineta: Maybe because of the whole "Unexpected challenges" in our careers as heroes?
(5:49 P.M.) Kaminari: ugh thats such bullshit but your probably right
(5:50 P.M.) Kaminari: they would so something stupid like that. I can understand why they would do something like that but for my exams? come on.
Mineta sighed as he stared at his reflection on the blank screen. Either Kaminari would respond, or the grape boy himself would have some advice. What am I supposed to say? I know that he wasn't really happy, but man, he really took it hard. Mineta knew better than anyone that losing sucked pretty hard. Especially when you put your heart in soul into everything... and then just to fail. I'll have to be careful. He saw that he got another message while he was daydreaming.
(5:56 P.M.) Kaminari: sorry did my rant bother you
(5:56 P.M.) Mineta: No, sorry. I was just thinking to myself.
(5:57 P.M.) Kaminari: what about
(5:57 P.M.) Mineta: I'm just thinking about what you said. I know what it means to fail, and it sucks pretty badly. Sorry that you're feeling this way man. You uh... wanna talk about it? Usually helps when I talk about my issues.
(5:59 P.M.) Kaminari: actually I gtg man
(5:59 P.M.) Mineta: Really? Something going on?
(6:01 P.M.) Kaminari: oh nothing much, ill just be gonna be busy because Jirou wanted to hang out its not special
(6:01 P.M.) Mineta: "Hang out"?
(6:02 P.M.) Kaminari: shut up I thought you said you stopped with the perverted stuff. Were just friends thats all
(6:04 P.M.) Mineta: If you say so man. Well, have fun then.
(6:06 P.M.) Kaminari: thanks I guess. Have a good one
(6:07 P.M.) Mineta: You too. Tell your girlfriend I said hello.
(6:07 P.M.) Kaminari: k
(6:09 P.M.) Kaminari: wait
(6:09 P.M.) Kaminari: SHES NOT MY GIRLFRIEND I LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU WERE JUST FRIENDS
(6:09 P.M.) Kaminari: THATS IT JUST FRIENDS OKAY THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER
Mineta rolled his eyes in slight amusement as he put his phone on sleep mode. Hanging with Jirou huh? For someone so focused on getting a chick, he seems rather flustered at the idea of being with a certain earjack girl. Doesn't help that he's a bit prickly anyways. Although talking with Jirou will probably help with his mood, so at least he's got that going for him. Speaking with students with bad moods though..
He suddenly remembered about Mina as well, he had yet to do anything about her. I don't think she'd appreciate me trying to contact her, and I don't have her number, or have her added in any of the chatrooms the class is in. And we're not friends obviously. But maybe...
Mineta glanced down and switched on his phone, and stared at the name displayed on his screen. But will she even talk to me?
He rolled his eyes. No point in wondering, might as well try it.
Asui
(6:23 P.M.) Mineta: Hi, Asui.
(6:24 P.M.) Asui: Hello Mineta. Something you need?
(6:24 P.M.) Mineta: How'd you know? Am I really that predictable?
(6:25 P.M.) Asui: No. But this is the second or third time we've actually engaged in conversation via text messaging, so I suspected that this wasn't just small talk.
(6:26 P.M.) Mineta: Well, you're right. Um, you're friends with Mina, right?
(6:28 P.M.) Asui: Yes, I am. Why do you ask?
(6:28 P.M.) Mineta: Think you could see if she's doing alright? I don't think we're friends, but I'd like to see if she's doing alright, since we saw how she was after the exam.
(6:30 P.M.) Asui: Ask her yourself.
(6:30 P.M.) Mineta: I'm not sure that trying to find her in public is a good idea. I don't have her number either.
(6:31 P.M.) Asui: I wasn't finished. I'm with her right now, I decided go to a mall with her, to try to distract her. You're not the only who noticed how sad she's been.
(6:33 P.M.) Mineta: Oh, then that's even better! Just ask her now for me, would ya?
(6:33 P.M.) Asui: Here, you do it. I'll let her borrow my phone. It's easier this way.
(6:34 P.M.) Mineta: What? No just ask her please I don't wa
(6:34 P.M.) Asui: yo
(6:35 P.M.) Asui: tsu said you wanted to talk to me but that previous message contradicts that statement lol
(6:36 P.M.) Mineta: Right. Uh, I was wondering if you're doing alright.
(6:37 P.M.) Asui: wat r u trying to pull mineta
(6:37 P.M.) Mineta: Nothing! I'm not gonna pull anything, I told you I'm trying to change, alright? I'm sorry if I did anything
(6:38 P.M.) Asui: chillax my dude I was just kidding
(6:39 P.M.) Mineta: Oh. Right.
(6:40 P.M.) Asui: ok but wat did you need cuz the food court smells gud and I dont like texting while eaitng
(6:41 P.M.) Mineta: Alright, then I'll make it quick. I was wondering if you were doing okay. I saw you and Kaminari looking pretty down after the exams, so I was just checking up on you both.
(6:42 P.M.) Asui: huh. Thats surprisingly nice of you mineta. Well im doing ok, im shopping... well more like "browsing" but either way it is a nice distraction. Guess the whole reformed thing I heard tsu talkin bout earlier was for real then. Hows kaminari? Did u check up on him yet
(6:42 P.M.) Mineta: Actually yeah! We chatted for a bit, then he said he had to go do something with Jirou so he's okay
(6:43 P.M.) Asui: wait hes with jirou? :o
(6:43 P.M.) Mineta: Yeah. Why do you ask?
(6:44 P.M.) Asui: A LO N E ? O W O
(6:45 P.M.) Mineta: Um... Yes? :/
(6:46 P.M.) Asui: SHES FINALLY MAKING A MOVE HOLY HELL IT TOOK HER LONG ENOUGH ^w^
(6:47 P.M.) Mineta: What? No, no, he said that they're just friends
(6:48 P.M.) Asui: b4 or after?
(6:48 P.M.) Mineta: What?
(6:49 P.M.) Asui: did he tell u when they were in the process of "hanging out" or b4 they started actually hanging out
(6:50 P.M.) Mineta: Before.
(6:51 P.M.) Asui: riddle me this
(6:52 P.M.) Asui: wat if jirou makes a move while their hanging out? Got anything to disprove that? She totally is making a move I gotta text her after me and tsu finish at the mall
(6:53 P.M.) Mineta: But what if she wants to keep it a bit more private? I'm not saying you're right with the whole "making a move thing" but if it's somehow true, and finds out I told you, she'll kill me.
(6:54 P.M.) Asui: dont worry ur secret stays with me, and hopefully tsu after she inevitably looks at these txts lmao
(6:55 P.M.) Mineta: We both know Asui, she won't tell. Besides she gave me a lecture on a similar topic back during the exams. As long as we both don't say a word, no one else will know.
(6:56 P.M.) Asui: agreed. Well thanks for telling me this i'll get a lot of mileage out of it
(6:56 P.M.) Mineta: Wait what?
(6:58 P.M.) Asui: kidding. Nice talking with ya, and thanks for checkin up on me ill give the phone back to tsu :P
(6:59 P.M.) Mineta: Alright.
(7:00 P.M.) Asui: Hello Mineta, that certainly took a while. Although I'm actually impressed that you managed to hold a conversation with a female over text.
(7:01 P.M.) Mineta: Very funny Tsuyu. Anyways, thanks I guess. You're bound to read the previous texts sometime, so I don't need to explain it.
(7:01 P.M.) Mineta: Asui* Sorry.
(7:01 P.M.) Asui: Hm.
(7:02 P.M.) Mineta: What?
(7:02 P.M.) Asui: ….nothing. Me and Mina are going to get food.
(7:02 P.M.) Mineta: Alright. Thanks for talking with me I guess.
(7:03 P.M.) Asui: Don't mention it. Talk to you later.
(7:04 P.M.) Mineta: Uh oh right. Yeah. Ttyl.
Mineta sighed as he put his phone into sleep mode once more, cringing internally. He was well aware that him and Asui weren't exactly friends, more like people who just talked to each other. Hope I didn't make her mad by calling her Tsuyu. He didn't know he'd been going through a whirlwind of emotions for the past twenty minutes, but now he felt conflicted. If he accidentally started a rumor via Mina, he was in trouble. Kaminari would definitely know it was him, and no doubt he'd tattle on him to Jirou. Mineta didn't feel like facing the wrath of Jirou and Kaminari anytime soon. She's nasty when she gets angry, eugh. He'd have to hope that Mina would keep to her word about not telling anyone, because if she didn't, Mineta knew his future wouldn't be very pleasant in the least.
Speaking of futures...
He let out an audible huff as he whipped out his phone once more, remembering that he still had someone to text. He'd been wandering around town for so long that he'd momentarily forgotten that he still needed to talk to a certain someone.
Midoriya
(7:13 P.M.) Mineta: Hey man. You alive?
(7:13 P.M.) Midoriya: Hello Mineta! Yeah I'm here, what's up?
(7:14 P.M.) Mineta: So uh, remember how I said we'd talk about my quirk? Think we could do that today?
(7:14 P.M.) Midoriya: Absolutely! I haven't stopped thinking about it since you told me! A time travel quirk, probably the first known in existence! There's so many possibilities with this quirk!
(7:15 P.M.) Mineta: Yeah, I know. Uh, before you get excited, perhaps we should talk about this in person? This is kind of serious.
(7:15 P.M.) Midoriya: Right, sorry. Was getting kind of excited. You could come over today, I can just tell my mother that we're studying again. Got my journal right here.
(7:16 P.M.) Mineta: Today? Well, I don't know. Getting a bit late, and Mama wants me home soon. How about Saturday?
(7:18 P.M.) Midoriya: Yeah, just checked my schedule, I'm good for that, sure!
(7:20 P.M.) Mineta: Alright then, see you then. Later.
(7:21 P.M.) Midoriya: Bye! :-)
Well, now that's over... I should probably get home. Like I told Midoriya, Mama wants me home. Mineta turned and followed a familiar sidewalk back towards the direction to home.
BZZZT BZZZT
As if on cue, Mineta's phone begun to angrily vibrate in the boy's pocket. Letting out a sigh of exhaustion, he pulled it out to see who had decided to message him.
Mama
(7:27 P.M.) Mama: Minoru honey? Where are you?
(7:27 P.M.) Mineta: Sorry mama, was walking while texting with friends, lost track of time.
(7:27 P.M.) Mama: It's been hours!
(7:28 P.M.) Mineta: As I said, I uh, lost track of time.
(7:28 P.M.) Mama: I don't want you being out after dark. Where are you sweetie? I can come pick you up?
He winced internally as he glanced over the message from his concerned mother. Villains aren't really common around these parts... I'm not a child! He mentally smacked himself. What am I thinking? Of course I'm a child. She's just worried, and I'm being bratty.
(7:29 P.M.) Mineta: I'm by the Plaza. I'll wait for you here.
(7:29 P.M.) Mama: Thank you sweetie. I'll be there in a few. Love you!
(7:30 P.M.) Mineta: Love you too.
Halting in his tracks, Mineta realized with horror that he hadn't even considered the possibility of his mother knowing about his second quirk. But what bugged at him more was a more dangerous question... should she know?
What would that do to her if she knew about that? He shuddered at the very thought of his mother being informed that her son was basically immortal. Not immortal in a good way either, like a vampire or an anti aging quirk. He knew he was cursed to die forever and ever. The slight increase of heartbeat whenever he was alone in public now vanished ever since he got this quirk. Because it wouldn't matter if some random villain decided to lop my head off, I would just come back. He shuddered. Will I ever be able to live a normal life now? Before his thoughts could go any darker, he shook the disturbing imagery out of his head so it wouldn't get any worse. No, she doesn't need to know. That would ruin her. What she doesn't know can't hurt her. I just need to sleep off this stress, then I'll be okay. I'll be okay.
Several minutes passed by painfully slow for Mineta, but finally his Mother's car pulled up to the curb he was sitting on.
As she rolled down the window to greet him, Mineta's mother frowned. "Minoru, it's already dark, I don't want you going out like this anymore."
"Alright Ma," Mineta hummed, relaxing as he finally got to get off his legs. "I won't." If he hadn't closed his eyes, he would of seen the slightly surprised look on his mother's face at the lack of an argument.
The woman softly smiled. "Thank you."
The trip home was mostly silent, and Mineta managed to trudge to his room after his body realized just how long it had been working out. His mother seemed to know just how tired he was, since she refrained from asking if he had eaten yet. He didn't even bother putting blankets on, he plopped on the bed, and passed out.
It felt weird being at the camp again. He shuddered as he stared at the bodies of his classmates, the Pussycats long dead. The stench made him want to heave a little, but he swallowed and kept his composure. Maybe he could stop this. Maybe he could prevent the villains from taking anymore lives. His feet felt like weights every time he took another step into the forest. "I'm sorry Iida," the boy managed to whisper. He already missed him and his hand chopping. He shuddered at the fact that all he could remember of the boy was that he had glasses and shouted a lot. Maybe it was the shock, maybe it wasn't.
Shaking off the nausea from seeing the bodies, he wandered deeper into the forest towards the sounds of the screaming. Maybe he could help.
Maybe not.
It was after several long agonizing minutes when Mineta finally spotted him limply propped up against a tree with a blood path under his legs, a telltale sign of being dragged. The grape boy rushed up to his friend, who was completely limp.
"Kaminari?" Mineta asked cautiously, almost as if he was afraid of the answer.
The blonde forced his head to face Mineta. The boy's pained features relaxed into one of joy upon seeing his friend. "M-Mineta... I th-th-thought you w-were dead m-m-man... I'm glad y-you're o-o-okay." Kaminari let out a cough.
Mineta cringed at the sight of his friend's battered body. The electric boy clearly had some lacerations, but from where was looking, it didn't look too bad. "H-Here Kaminari, let me.." He reached out his hand, offering to help his injured friend.
Kaminari hesitantly reached out to the small hand, and upon grasping it, he gasped out it pain. "Sh-Shit! W-Wait! It h-hurts."
The boy yanked his hand away from Kaminari as if he had been burned. "Ah! I'm s-sorry! Where does it hurt?"
"My b-back.." Kaminari gasped out. "H-Hold on." He let out a quiet cry of pain as he scooted away from the tree, and bent forward to expose his back. "H-H-How bad is it?"
Mineta's eyes wandered to Kaminari's back, and immediately regretted the decision. He swallowed the nausea as he looked at what was left of the poor boys back. Whatever or whoever attacked him had definitely been aiming to maim, not kill. It seemed like someone peeled off several sections of his back, exposing the red flesh underneath, still spurting blood. Mineta swallowed bile as he saw some parts of Kaminari's spine poking out, exposed. "I-It's.. bad."
Kaminari's face twisted into one of worry. "H-How bad Mineta?"
"P-Pretty bad."
"M-Mineta..." Kaminari whispered, a tear running down his battered face. "I-Is Jirou ok? I-I haven't seen her ever since the villains came. P-Please make sure she's okay... and if you see her... t-tell her that...-"
"Whoa," Mineta quickly said. "D-Don't talk like that, alright? You're g-gonna be fine. You can t-tell her when you see her."
Kaminari responded with tired sigh. "R-Right." He attempted to stand up, but quickly collapsed after letting out a quiet whine of pain. "I-I-I don't th-think I c-can move..." He shifted his eyes to the left. Where screams were coming from. "Y-You'll have to keep going w-without me."
Shaking his head violently, Mineta grasped Kaminari's hand once more. "N-No.. I can't just l-leave you man. We can d-do this!"
"Th-They can't wait for me M-Mineta. Y-You have to help them." The blonde gasped out. "G-Go. I-I-I'll be okay. I p-promise."
The look Kaminari gave Mineta made dread swirl around in his stomach. He didn't want to leave, but his friend looked in the direction of the screaming once more, worry plastered on his pale face. Sighing, Mineta released his grip. "A-All right. J-Just wait here okay? If any villains c-come by just.. play dead or something."
Kaminari coughed up some blood. "D-Don't worry. I-I'll be fine."
Taking one last look at his friend, Mineta turned and ran towards the screaming.
"Yeah..." Kaminari whispered. He shook his head. "I'll.. just.." His eyes felt pretty heavy now as he heard the sound of Mineta's footsteps fade into the background. "I'll just rest my eyes." If Mineta had stayed at least thirty seconds later, he would of noticed that Kaminari stopped breathing.
Mineta panted as he approached the area where the screaming had originally originated from, but immediately straightened his posture upon viewing the sight.
There was nothing there.
"What? But I swear I heard earlier that..." He looked around. "Hello?"
Ÿ̸̖͕̭̦̪̥̮̝̰́͜O̴̬̖̲̞͔̘̟͗͒̅̾̌̈́͋̿͜͝Ŭ̴̹̥̤͇̄͜ ̸̖͈̠̳̪͑F̵̨͕͕͚̟͌̀Ā̴͈̹͖̩̒͛̕͝I̵̪̮̓̿L̷̡̨̙̹̻̪̕ͅE̶̡̼̝͉̞̱̪̭̽͋́́̋͌͊̓̋̚̕ͅḒ̴̾̊̾͘ ̸̡̳͙͓͉̟̦̤͈̄͜ͅŤ̵̨̨̛͙̙̑̔̒̈́̚͠͝H̴̻̲͉̘̖̃͐̀̌̈́E̶̠̹̺̍͜͠M̵̢̢̭̦͚̖͙̱̲̜͂̽̽͌̏͐͑͝͝ ̶̧̛̣̩̼̤̯̤͕͎̽͒̋̉͊͛̾͋͂͝M̵̲̳̮̭̫̖̿̇̚Ì̵̫̞̎̾̚̚Ń̴̺͔̖̘Ȩ̵̺͙̭̲̘̂͐͋̑̈́́̂̚̕T̸̢̗̒́̀͌͑̓̀̅Ä̵̝̘̯͓̲̤̗͎͙́͑͒̋͛́
Letting out a cry of surprise, Mineta's eyes snapped down to see that a black sludge had taken hold of his right leg. It was cold, wet, and constricted around his leg so hard it hurt. "What the hell?" He yelled in surprise. Where had this thing come from? He let out a cry of agony, as it suddenly felt that hundreds of little needles were being stabbed into his leg.

The sludge had tightened its grip, starting to creep up to his thigh.
"Get the hell off!" Mineta screamed, tears running down his face from the pain. It was just hurting to much. He made the mistake of trying to grab it to tear it off, but the black substance latched onto his hand in a tight grip.
The stinging increased tenfold, making Mineta unintentionally let out a scream of agony as the dark sludge traveled up his arm.
"HELP!" He screamed desperately as he attempted to fight off... whatever the hell this thing was. He yelled, hoping someone, ANYONE, would hear. "HELP! PLEASE HELP ME! HELP ME!"
The sludge was undeterred by the boy's yelling, continued up to his face. It latched on, and the piercing needles sensation started again.
Mineta felt like he was on fire. The sensation now felt like burning needles injecting acid into him. He fell over on his side as he began to writhe in pain, the only thing visible was his frail back and his grapes.
W̸̨̼͔̤̭̮̻͇̼͌͑̃͘͝ͅO̶̱̩̿̀̓͐͋̓̓́̀̕ͅR̵̙͖͉̔̄̃͊̽̑̋͐͘͜͝͝T̵̪̲͖̯̹͕͍͑ͅH̸̖̱͔̖̯̗̤̥̥͎̺͌̍͗́̇̄̽̆͠͝L̷̨̛͔͔͚̈͆̔̈́͐͋̐̓̐Ę̶̻̖͙̩̮̮̪̰̾̓̈́S̴̻̔̊̽̋͋̃͘̕͝Ş̸̢̡̢̬̞̙͇͉͉̔̎́̈͐̑ͅ ̶̡̫̑́̒̐̄̑̆̽̎̈
His screams were muffled as the sludge began to melt away at his face. Everything hurt. He screamed as the sludge melted his eyes away.
"Minoru!"
Mineta's eyes flew open, and he abruptly sat up. However, he only got halfway up, as his forehead nailed into something rather solid. The object in front of him let out a quiet cry of pain.
Huh? What's going on? Mineta squinted his eyes, and realized with horror that the object in front of him was his mother. "M-Mom!" The boy squeaked, "I-I'm sorry!"
The woman simply waved it off. "It's okay sweetie." She looked up to him, concern in his eyes. "Are you okay sweetie? You looked like you were having a nightmare."
Nightmare? Mineta thought to himself curiously. I was having a nightmare?
"HELP ME!"
Mineta gasped as the events from the previous nights piled onto him once more. Him running. Him leaving Kaminari to die. His death. His eyes widened with horror as he began to hyperventilate. I failed, I died and I failed I failed
"M-Minoru!
His mother's soft voice momentarily shook him out of his stupor. "M-Mom..." He gasped. "What about the exams?!"
His mother took notice of the slight desperation, although she kept a straight face. "R-Relax Minrou! You passed them! You're okay."
I passed them? His face relaxed at the new revelation. So this time it was a dream. Thank god.
Although his calm mood immediately shifted when he realized that...
Today I have to tell Midoriya about how my quirk works.
Yup. Next chapter is what you think it is, be ready for the angst yall! Sorry that the chap took a while, I know you guys have been waiting. If you liked this, please Review/Follow/Fav! It really encourages me to keep writing! Also, idc what happens in the manga, I love the idea of Mineta calling his mother Mama, even as a young teen. It's just so damn wholesome and it melts my heart :D
Now, onto the reviews!
ILiekFisheschapter 25 . Oct 4
Yeah, I probably won't do it anytime soon, since you're like the only one who acknowledged it.
BIG BadJchapter 25 . Oct 5
Thanks! I'll do my best for the next upcoming chapters! Always nice to be appreciated :D
decodelifehackerchapter 25 . Oct 5
Well, bashing Mineta is pretty popular in the manga, and in the fandom in general, so it's not surprising to me how they'd feel. Hopefully they'll soften up.
ice cream of the godschapter 25 . Oct 6
Glad my writing was able to actually evict emotion out of someone... Heh, didn't know I was decent enough of a writer to pull that off! Well, it's gonna happen, so buckle up for hurt/comfort and tons of angst!
bajychapter 25 . Oct 6
Ah, my mistake. Sorry miss! XD Anyways, I guess that makes sense, and don't worry because Mineta's struggles aren't even close to ending, we need more angst so stay tuned!
CrystalKuronuma chapter 25 . Oct 6
Sorry, I put it through google translate, so I did the best I could. I'm glad you found this fanfic good enough for IzuOcha tastes! Don't worry about that, you'll see what Mineta does when stuff happens, can't say too much without spoilers ;)
Najeechapter 25 . Oct 10
Thanks! I'm glad you liked this chapter! But Sero is referring back then, and in the episodes on the anime he called him scum, so I'm trying to have them stick in character. Maybe smug Mineta would shout, but he's being the bigger man in this situation for the most part. Thanks, I'm trying to put my boy Mineta in positive light.
Well, that's it for tonight! If you liked this, as always, Review/Follow/Fav, and I'll see you all on the flipside! Ciao!
