"Yo Mina! Look it's Deku the Mime!" Kirishima yelled quickly running to where a crowd was forming. Mina, not really caring for the street performer, but always happy to show an interest in whatever her best friend liked, followed him to where the crowd was...
"Oh man I can't believe we're actually gonna see the guy live! I've only ever seen him online in videos" Kirishima said excitedly to Mina.
Mina looked at Kirishima his excitement beginning to become contagious. "I don't get it what's so cool about this guy. He's just a mime right, what's so cool about that? Anyone can pretend to get stuck in a box" she joked.
Surprisingly half the crowd around her gasped at the girls question as if they were the one, she insulted.
"I guess you must be new to Deku, but this guy is the real deal."
Another person speaking, "Yeah, his performances are crazy. Last week a pro hero wasn't watching where they were going during one of his performances so dude mimed stairs so the hero wouldn't interrupt him, and the hero just started walking up the stairs as if it was normal. Guy didn't even notice until Deku was finished with his act and he made the stairs disappear causing him to fall like 50 feet" he laughed, a few others joining him.
"Whoa, I thought that was just some rumor" Kirishima said in awe.
Mina looked at the black and white face painted boy curiously. Now she wanted to see what he had to showcase if everyone here was so excited to have found one of the boy's shows.
Another one chuckled entering their conversation while watching the boy in front of them pretend to climb a wall.
"Nah, kid's as real as they come. He's gonna go places."
"Holy crap, that's amazing." Mina said, watching the boy box in a man until he was on scrunched up, while everyone around them laughed.
"You're telling us. Although most people think his best show by far is the one where he was able to outrun 6 pro heroes. He only got captured because All might intervened."
"Oh yeah, I heard about that!" Kirishima said, still watching the show intensely. "But I couldn't find any video of it anywhere.
"That's because from what I heard a hero with a tech quirk was told to take every video down so the heroes reps didn't take a hit for not being able to take a mime down" he chuckled.
"Whoa." Mina said as she went back to watching the boy put someone in a box.
It was nearing the end of the show that Kirishima quickly dashed towards the mime in hopes of getting a picture of him with Deku. Quickly pushing through the departing crowd with Mina Kirishima made his way towards his Deku.
Seeing Deku begin to pack up nothing in his bag caused Kirishima to quickly yell out for the boy before he could disappear.
"Hey, Deku sir, hold up!"
Izuku looked around to see who would call him sir, before silently laughing. Kirishima seeing this blushed with Mina laughing on the side.
"UH, hey I'm Kirishima and this is Mina."
Izuku waved but did nothing else. Since he was still in costume, he had no choice to abide by his mime code.
Kirishima looked at Mina before she encouraged him to do what he came to do. "Oh right, uh well I saw your performance and thought it was awesome! I'm a huge fan!"
Izuku smiled at the black-haired boy appreciative of his praise, giving him a thumbs up in thanks. While Kirishima and Mina looked at him weirdly he merely looked at them expectantly as if waiting for what they were originally coming to ask.
"Oh, well I was wondering if I could get a picture with you."
Right after Kirishima asked that question Izuku's eyes welled up enjoying the thought of having his first photo op. It was at this moment Deku knew he was finally getting somewhere.
Clenching his fist in his shirt, Deku nodded his head accepting their request for a picture, exciting both Mina and Kirishima. The latter who couldn't help the giant grin from showing on his face.
From there Izuku smiled wider and began rummaging through his backpack looking for something, once found he began to set nothing up in front of Mina and Kirishima confusing the two who were trying to get the camera feature up on their phone. Ignoring their faces Deku then went back to the two settling himself in between them before putting a peace sign up and pressing his thumb down on nothing.
When all was said and done the two looked at each other than at Izuku even more confused.
"Uh, wh-what just happened?" Mina asked.
Kirishima stayed in place rubbing the back of his head, unsure if Deku was just a jerk and didn't like taking pictures or if he was just that weird. That is until Deku went back to where he set nothing up and handed back both teens a very bad looking picture of the two with a happy looking mime in the middle.
Shock was written all over the two friends face while Deku couldn't help covering his mouth while holding back his "laughter".
"Wh-how-it's physically impossible for you to actually take a picture of us with nothing!" How did you do that?" Mina yelled. "And I want a redo, this is a horrible looking picture of me!"
"Really I like it" Kirishima said, at first a bit skeptical but then enjoying the comedic of the mime.
Izuku threw a thumbs up to them until he saw what time it was, which then a "shit, I forgot about Kendo!" was yelled and he gathered all his things, including the camera and began running down the street towards his girlfriend's dojo.
"Holy crap I just spoke to Deku the Mime" Kirishima said shocked but also excited.
"No, you didn't. He just yelled about forgetting his girlfriend then ran off." Mina said still miffed about her horrid picture.
"Same difference! Besides we got a picture with him!" Kirishima said excitedly.
"Really Kirishima?" Mina deadpanned.
"Yeah, seriously, He never takes pictures! It's talked about all over forums. I'm gonna frame mine" Kirishima said with a smile.
Mina grumbled before saying she was going to do the same with hers, then perking up after she thought of something.
"Pfft!"
Kirishima looked at his best friend wondering why she was laughing. "What up, Mina?"
"Deku said he was picking up his girlfriend right…"
"Yeah?" Kirishima found nothing wrong with this and was still unsure where Mina was going, that is until the pink skinned girl spoke again.
"I'm just thinking about how the person Deku is dating probably has a thing for mimes, or maybe she's a mime too!" she said still laughing, Kirishima joining her when he begins to think the same thing.
Izuku had just dropped Kendo off at her house after their date, luckily after he had explained why he was late Kendo had forgiven him citing it was sweet he would take pictures. Unfortunately, since their date had been after he finished a performance, he had taken her to dinner with everyone staring at the two since both were dressed in vastly different attire. Itsuka was, while still a bit casual, better dressed then her boyfriend who still donned his mime attire and face paint.
While any normal girl would've been mad at their boyfriend for picking them up in such a way and taking them out like that, Kendo realized her taste in boys was apparently far from normal and enjoyed having a one-sided conversation with Izuku in black and white face paint making amusing facial expressions.
The end of the night make-out session wasn't too bad either, she thought.
Overall Kendo's night was great, that is until she saw her face and neck in her bathroom mirror.
"Motherfu- "
"So Itsuka."
"Not a word dad."
"You can't expect me not to say something, when you walk in like that" the dojo master says, trying to hold back his laughter. Any other father would be mad at finding their daughter in such a state but then again just imagining how long she was like this is too amusing.
Kendo glared at her father half-heartedly before going back to her task of getting rid of the black and white make up on her neck and lips. So far, the makeup was proving harder to get rid of than last time.
"Yes, I can dad. At least try not to laugh while you stare me down and lecture me" Itsuka said while she scrubbed her neck having just finished her face.
The dojo master/father merely laughed at his daughter sounding so frustrated, while trying to get rid of the makeup which only emphasized the fact her mime boyfriend had given his only daughter a hickey.
"You know if you and that boy are going to do stuff you could at least do it when he's not wearing his face paint. Unless you like him better when he has that stuff on Kendo" Kendo's father cackled.
"Go away!" Kendo yelled while throwing a wet towel at her dad who walked away from the bathroom still laughing.
"Fine fine, but for the record when you wanna cover up hickeys you usually use make up that's the color of your skin tone not the total opposite" he yells, laughing even louder.
"Stupid mime boyfriend" Kendo mumbled, unable to hold back a smile at her dads joke.
At Izuku's place
Izuku was in the middle of washing his face paint off in his bathroom when he began to sneeze. His mother, ever the mother bear walked in with cold medicine, only to have to put it away when Izuku stated he was alright.
"Someone was thinking about me", Izuku thought.
With that moment over Izuku went to bed after a successful date and performance.
Another chapter in one day!
