Frustrations of a Fangirl: Chapter 7

A week prior, Eri was visiting Deku at a café – her and her dad's favourite cat café, to be precise – and ahe was completely refreshed. Her prior... "self-indulgent sessions" had cleared her mind a little from her initial encounter with Deku's chair, the way she felt so smal-

"No! I have to keep myself steady right now."

Though, nothing could truly keep her mind off of her perverted thoughts, but what's a girl supposed to do?

Besides, despite the fairly regular requests for autograph requests, it was relaxing and eased up Eri's mind off school. It was even fun to see what kinds of characters would come waltzing up to the pro-hero!

There were confident ones, shy ones, girls that looked at Deku with hearts in their eyes and a blush on their cheeks – which twisted into jealousy when they eyed the UA teen sitting across from their idol.

"So, Eri." Izuku started between bites of his muffin. "How's UA doing for ya? I know my first year was eventful." He smiled.

"It's going great, Izu! Everybody in my class is so nice, and their quirks are really cool!" She smirked a little. "No major events that could get us as reputable as your class."

The pro-hero waved his hands in front of his face a little. "Hey, you shouldn't put yourself down like that! You don't need mass news coverage to become a great hero!"

"Pfft. Okay, mister Number One Hero."

Deku blushed. He still wasn't used to being called that – he almost felt like he was being over-hyped.

"Come on, Eri! You know I don't like it when people refer to me as tha-!"

Eri clasped her small, scarred hand against his mouth as she reached across the table.

"No, Izu! Grandpa Toshi has told me about all the pain and hard training you went through! You deserve it." She looked him in the eyes with a determined look on his face.

"Well, I guess it can't be helped..." He smiled and wrapped his burly arms around her. "You're right. Thanks, Eri."

She gasped slightly as her eyes widened in sync with a quickly appearing blush on her face as she wrapped her arms around him in response.

"Shut up, silly." She stuck her tongue out. "You shouldn't need to keep getting reminded!"

She pulled back, Izuku smiling softly, as she finished her iced latte.

"Welp!" She stood up and threw her backpack around her arms. "I've got a movie to catch with Kota!"

"Later, Eri." He waved as she sprinted out the shop towards the movie theater.

"Tsk."

Kota scowled a little as he saw the small-ish girl sprinted towards him at full speed, panting. She stopped right in front of him and keeled over, letting out long breaths as she leaned on her knees.

"The hell've you been? It started five minutes ago!"

"Sorry, Kota!" She let out in a breathy whimper. "I lost track of time!"

"Whatever, let's just go."

He turned around and tried his blush. Her hair looked so hot when it was so dishevelled like that.

"It fits so much better with those cute hoodies than when it's perfectly straightened out..."

Eri nodded and quickly followed him into the pitch-black screening room.
