Like usual, thanks for the support everyone ;D
"My body aches… my mind is not working properly… I might have overdone myself right now…", were his only thoughts after his 12 hours workout and nerdout, the latter being a term, that he invented for his personal use.
Eight hours at the gym and four hours in the library had taken a toll on him. He needed some relax. He didn't feel like swimming, running, surfing the web, nothing of his usual methods seemed to appeal to him. So after refreshing himself and changing from his gym clothes, which consisted of white sleeveless T-shirt and black shorts, to something more casual. Still black shorts, but longer and fitted with more pockets than the gym ones, a dark blue shirt with a logo of one of his favourite bands on it and unzipped grey hoodie. He was not going to be the liveliest person on the streets, but… he never really aimed to be.
He put on his blue Reeboks, grabbed his shades and went out. He had no plans about this little trip, thinking that he will come up with something on the fly, but once he hit the streets, the endless possibilities confused him deeply. Even though it was still relatively early, he could already spot couples, that were putting their evening plans in motion, entering clubs, restaurants and stuff.
"I guess, I'll just make it into a sightseeing trip", he mumbled to himself. But when he was about to turn in the direction of a closest park, he heard something. "Music?", he listened once again to make sure. "Definitely, but there are no clubs in this districts…", his curiosity had taken the best of him and before he knew, he was standing with a small crowd, that surrounded a street performer.
Or performers rather. They were a female drummer and male beatboxer. Judging from their nearly perfect synchronization you could tell, that they were doing it for quite a while now. Wooden drumsticks hitting plastic buckets and the beat were hypnotizing, making it impossible for everyone to just stand in place. Young Midoriya looked around himself to see that people around him were lightly tapping their foots, swaying from side to side or dancing in place. But there was one peculiar person that visibly lost herself in the sound. She was dancing, no holding back included, and it wasn't a drunken dance either.
"She is moving like a professional dancer…", he thought to himself and blushing slightly, while looking at her. She wore very revealing shorts that barely covered her rear and a tank top. But that's not that was to her. Her skin and hair were pink. And she had horns protruding from her head. She looked… weird, but in a good way.
Before Izuku realised it, the crowd was surrounding not only the two street performers like it used to, but now, the pink girl was surrounded as well. She was smiling all the time and there was no sweat on her forehead or face in general. Old viewers were leaving and new ones were joining in, which lead to young Midoriya now standing in the front row. Numerous times he caught a glimpse of her eyes, which appeared to be searching for him everytime they had a chance. Well… he took of his hoodie and tied it around his waist, so the augs on his arm were visible. And that was why she was looking at him.
"Right?", he asked himself, but when she suddenly grabbed him and pulled into the spotlight with a cheeky grin. He had nearly tripped and made a fool of himself in front of their audience.
Said audience gave him a thumbs up with a few full hearted laughs, boosting his confidence.
"Ugh… to hell with it! Nothing can possibly happen, right? Right? Focus, you've been watching her, more than you should, so just repeat after her", he quickly glanced at her to see a completely new set of moves. "She is changing it up!", he yelled inside his mind. "Screw it, it's freestyle time", he got into his competitive mode, tossed his phone and his hoodie out the way and… let it loose.
First he was trying to get into the rhythm, so he started with some slow moves like doing a robot and stuff. But in an instant he switched from slow to fast and started doing some shuffle. He was dancing a little doing his workout sessions. This was no different, only this time he had an audience, so his usual shyness crawled into the back of his thoughts, as he rocked it alongside the pink girl. There were cheers and whistles; it was, in the end, a very good idea, to relax at that day in that vicinity. In the end, his companion started mimicking his moves as they found themselves in a sync of some sort. It was not as strong as the one between drummer and beatboxer, but it came naturally. When they ended, he was sweating like after a healthy workout, as was she, and the crowd was loudly praising the skills of all four of them. As the audience started to disperse itself, performers called the teens.
"You two totally rocked!", was the genuine opinion of the drummer.
"Yeah! If you ever happen to see us again, come join in, I'm sure it'll be just as much fun as it was today", was the proposition from the beatboxer.
"T-thanks, you guys are t-talented as well", stated young Midoriya with a blush and a polite smile. After that he picked up his phone, tied the hoodie around his waist once more and walked off. Or tried to, as he was suddenly approached by the pink girl.
"Hiya!", she greeted him in very energetic way, scaring him a little.
"H-hi", he mumbled in response, his confidence gone in a puff of smoke.
"You gave quite a show back there!", she said making him blush even more in the process. "At first you were like zzzt!, zzzt!, zzzt!", she started while imitating his robot dance moves, "but then you went like swoosh! swoosh! swoosh!", and now the shuffle, "and in the end it was kinda like bang! bang! bang!", she ended her monologue trying to describe his heavier moves, that were kind of created on the flow.
"T-thanks! Y-you were q-quite g-good yourself", he said and hoped, that she could make the statement, that he had in mind out of his stuttering.
"You think?", she asked still smiling, while thinking to herself. "He's kinda cute with the stuttering"
"Well, um, y-yeah", he nodded as well to assure her of his opinion.
"Thanks!", she exclaimed happily while nearly bouncing as she followed him. "So… what are we going to do next?", she asked with a wide, playful smile.
"W-we?!", he yelled with surprise evident in his question.
"Yeah, we like in you and I", she answered smiling and pointing at him and then at herself.
"I-I don't e-even know y-your name", he muttered and prayed that it sounded like a real sentence.
"Is that so?", she wondered taken aback by the statement, but on closer inspection she realised, that indeed, she has yet to introduce herself. "I guess, I got carried away in the moment. Ashido Mina, nice to meet you!", she introduced herself and extended a fist in his direction.
"M-midoriya I-Izuku…", he blushed even harder as his fist made contact with hers. Her skin was surprisingly soft and nice to the touch.
"So, now that we know each other, will you be my date for tonight?", she asked bluntly and playfully.
"D-d-d-date?!", he shouted. His skin went completely pale in an instant, but the blush on his cheeks was still visible. How did he even manage to do that?!
"Yes, we can go eat something, or I can show you an arcade, that I've found recently. Or we can go somewhere private, if it's what you want", she said seductively, coming closer and closer, until she was nearly on him. "You know, I'm quite horny", she added speaking directly into his ear. And to show, that she really was, she poked him… with the horn that was protruding from her head… So… um… yeah…
I think that now should be young Midoriya's turn to go all macho and woo the attractive beauty, had he not lost consciousness. Izuku ended up plummeting face first onto the pavement. The pink girl tried to catch him, but she was too slow. So instead she dragged him onto the nearest bench. He looked like a wimp, but he turned out to be a lot heavier she thought. Once she checked if he didn't hurt himself, she sat down and finally had a chance to check him out. His green hair was messy and all over the place, just like hers; and her in general. His eyes were closed, but she imagined them to be blue or…
"No, no! Green to match his hair", she smiled to herself. "Uuu… freckles", her smile grew. She just had a thing for them. For them and shy people. She loved teasing, which was obvious, but she didn't know, that she was good enough to make people faint.
She felt kinda bad for… embarrassing him? Scaring him? For doing whatever she did to him, so she waited for him to wake up. It didn't take long and after a minute or two he yawned and stretch on the bench. He looked around a little confused, trying to remember what happened.
"The park, the music, the people, the girl- The girl!", warning lights in his mind lighted up like a christmas tree as he looked nervously for the pink creature.
"Umm, hi again", she said in her now normal voice, though this time keeping her distance.
"Hi", was his short response.
"I'm… Eee, kinda sorry", she spoke after a second. "I'm just very energetic about meeting new people and you were very interesting with the dance moves and all. I knew they were green!", she added mentally.
"Oh, so that's what happened…", he whispered to himself. "You don't have to apologize Ashida-san", he assured with a smile.
"It's Ashido", she corrected him smiling back at him. "So… can I at least make it up to you? The teasing and you fainting?", she proposed standing up from the bench.
"W-What do y-you mean?", he asked shyly, his stuttering at its best.
"Well, we can grab a bite to eat… I'm quite hungry", she admitted and chuckled.
"Tha-that w-would be n-nice", he answered and stood up as well. "You have anything particular in mind?", he asked.
"Well… there's a stand not far from here. They have good noodles in their ramen", she smiled and licked her lips. "The rest is good too"
"Lead the way then", he motioned for her to get in front of him and followed her.
When they arrived at the establishment, that Mina was talking about, young Midoriya took a quick glance around the place. It was a small booth with a few tables set around it. It was rather clean and kept in the old Japanese style. They took menus and sat at a table. Izuku looked through the offer and the only name that meant something to him was ramen, that he saw the main character of a very popular anime eat every now and then.
"Take anything you like, my treat", she said and he didn't need to look up to know, that she wore that trademark smile of hers.
"It's very kind of you, but I can't agree to these terms", he answered with a smile of his own. "If it wasn't for me, then you would have a very nice evening I guess", he admitted, while scratching his neck.
"Well, I still enjoyed this, but if you are willing to pay, then who am I to turn down such a generous offer?", she asked rhetorically, while playing innocent and laughing out loud.
"You really are peculiar, has anyone ever told you that?", he sighed and ordered ramen.
"A few times, but no one as handsome as you", she answered attempting to look very sexy and flirtatious. And, judging by his reaction, she nailed it. "Or maybe he's just shy around girls? Nah… you're just a sexy beast Mina, don't you forget that", she thought, while doing a high five with herself in her thoughts.
"C-could you p-please don't d-do that?", he asked while trying to hide his beet red face.
She was about to tease him some more, but decided against it. In the end he was paying right? She should be nice to him, at least for a bit. Their orders arrived and they dropped their conversation. Once they were done, Izuku paid for it and they left the establishment.
"It's getting late, I should get going", he said as they were a couple of meters from the booth.
"Can you do me a favour?", she asked smiling.
"Yeah, w-what do you need?"
"Can you unlock your phone?"
"Sure, but why though?", in the same moment, that he unlocked his phone, she grabbed it from his hand and after not whole thirty seconds gave it back to him with a grin. "W-what did y-you do?", he asked dumbfounded.
"I gave you my number", she stated bluntly. "Send me a text, so that I can have your too", and as soon as she ended her statement, she took off running.
And young Midoriya just… stood there. Frozen in place by her sudden action. He looked at his contact list for A's and M's, but he didn't found her number. So he had to look through all his contacts… not that he had many of them. And… there!
"P-pinky?!", he expressed his surprise mentally. "And she even had time to do a selfie!", next to her name and number, was a quickly taken selfie, where she was smiling and showing a peace sign with one hand. "She really is peculiar"
Isn't she? ;D
