Happy holidays, everyone. I hope you all have an amazing day.

Toru had made her way back to the dorms, surprised to see Izuku right behind her since he had stayed back at Midnight's office for awhile.
"Wait, is he running?" Toru wondered.
She was correct, as Izuku ran by her in an instant, with a look of determination on his face.
"Now what's happening?" Toru wondered.
As Midoriya ran through the front doors, possibly waking everyone up but not caring either way, he eventually found himself in front of Mina's room.
He found it funny how he could use all of that power for his speed and then suddenly stop in his tracks because he couldn't knock on the door.
"It's just Mina, I've talked to her before, I've even talked to her alone before, I can do this." Midoriya tried to assure himself.
"Midnight said to use my instinct and it's telling me I have to do this." Midoriya thought.
Midoriya knocked on the door and it opened a few seconds later, revealing Mina.
"Midoriya?" Mina asked, clearly still half asleep.
"Hi, sorry to wake you up, I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow?" Midoriya asked.
"Oh, are we going out as a class again?" Mina asked, while yawning and rubbing her eyes.
"No, I meant just the two of us." Midoriya said.
Mina leaned her head against the door, her eyes still shut.
"Sure." Mina said.
"Great, I'll see you later then." Midoriya said.
"Goodnight." Midoriya said.
As Midoriya left, Mina shut the door and made her way back to bed.
As Mina covered herself to keep from getting cold, she was slowly drifting back to sleep.
That was until the realization set in.
Mina's eyes instantly opened wide.
"Did Midoriya just ask me out on a date?!" Mina thought.
Not even two seconds passed before her door bursted open.
"Did Midoriya just ask you on a date?!" Toru questioned, a little too loudly.
"Hey, people are still trying to sleep!" Bakugo shouted.
Mina and Toru flinched from the sudden outburst.
"You've got some explaining to do." Toru whispered.
"I'll tell you all about it, tomorrow." Mina whispered.
The next day.
Mina had hoped that her conversation would be between just her and Toru, but of course, Toru had practically told everyone in the class about what had happened last night, minus a few details from Midnight's session, those would be between her and Mina.
"So, Deku really asked you out?" Ochaco asked.
"To be fair, he just said that he wanted to hang out." Mina told them.
"Yeah, but it's Midoriya, he's so awkward around girls I'm surprised he even got a word out, not to mention that he said that he just wants it to be the two of you alone." Jiro pointed out.
"It seems Midoriya is growing more confident, but the real question is, how do you feel about it, Mina?" Momo asked.
Mina thought about it for a moment, remembering her encounters with Midoriya, especially her most recent ones.
"He knows just what to say and do, even if he is a little too shy and awkward." Mina thought.
"I'm kind of happy that he asked, but, I'm just not sure I like him in that way or if it's just a crush from my deep admiration." Mina confessed.
"Well, Midoriya did decide to take a chance on it, maybe you should too." Toru told her.
"Yeah, though now I'm curious, if this is a date, where do you think he would take me?" Mina asked.
"It is interesting, aside from his love of heroes, I'm not sure any of us know that much about Midoriya." Momo pointed out.
"This date should fix that, at least a little." Mina thought.
"I guess it makes sense why he was so secretive last night though, I mean like you said, he's probably never had another interest aside from heroes and now all of a sudden he's got something else to focus on that he's never had to deal with before." Jiro said.
"Yeah, still, I never expected him to fall for you, Mina." Tsuyu said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Mina asked, feeling a little insulted.
"Oh, that was nothing against you, I just didn't expect him to be so bold." Tsuyu explained.
As the girls continued to talk, the guys were just as interested in the topic as they were.
Well, most of them, Bakugo and Todoroki couldn't care less.
"I knew it, I knew something was going on with Midoriya." Mineta said.
"While I don't approve of his methods, I'm relieved that Midoriya has started to come out of his shell." Iida said.
"For him, it probably took a lot of courage to ask her out." Kirishima said.
As everyone was talking, Midoriya made his way into the room, gaining everyone's attention.
All eyes were on him, which caused him to nervously smile.
Mineta immediately approached him, only for Midoriya to step out of the way.
"Midoriya, is it true that you have a date with Ashido?!" Mineta questioned.
Everyone looked at him, in anticipation for his answer.
Midoriya weighed his options.
He could act oblivious and just say they were going out as friends or he could just own up to it.
Midoriya smirked and leaned down to look Mineta in the face.
"Yes, is that a problem?" Midoriya asked.
Everyone looked surprised, Mineta squirming away a short distance.
"Nope, not at all, we were just wondering!" Mineta exclaimed.
"I can't believe that worked." Midoriya thought.
Midoriya had managed to keep his composure despite the amount of attention he was getting.
Midoriya turned to look at Mina, his smirk turning into a full on smile.
"Are you ready to go?" Midoriya asked.
Mina looked at him, surprised that they would be going out this early.
"Sure." Mina said.
A few minutes later.
Mina was curious as to why Midoriya stopped near the front gate of the academy.
"Midoriya… what are we doing out here?" Mina asked.
Mina would receive her answer in the for of a snowball, launched right at her.
"What was that for?" Mina asked.
Midoriya smiled at her, tossing a snowball up and down in his hand.
"You need some more target practice so… snowball fight!" Midoriya shouted.
As Midoriya threw another snowball, Mina threw her acid, melting it in the air.
"Oh, you're on!" Mina said, excitedly.
