Fun Sensation

Izuku was in a karaoke room with his friends.

Mina was playing at the arcade with hers.

The group had broke apart after getting off the train. The ride itself was rather normal if only the underlying tension wasn't there. There were those like Momo and Toru who were aware of it but did their best to keep the atmosphere light. Midoriya and Kirishima had the most electricity among them, and the cause of it was sitting between them. She had glanced at both of them, confused at their demeanor but she couldn't focus on it because of the strain between her and Uraraka, which Izuku was somewhat aware of thanks to Yaoyorozu. He had caught a stare, it was her. He locked eyes with Momo, she gave him that smile, and his eyes widened. He quickly looked away, his eyes landing on Mina. She felt his gaze and glanced back at him, she gave a carefree giggle as they squeezed hands. Kirishima averted his eyes to their public displays, Uraraka kept pretending. And Bakugo, he was just doing his best to keep his cool because unfortunately for him, he was too aware of everything.

At the karaoke room, Aoyama and Izuku were singing a duet because they're adorable together.

Mina, Toru, and Jirou were playing a dancing game as the guys stared on, except for Bakugo, he was only there for his friends. "Oi, when did I start caring about them!" He yelled with shark eyes.

For the most part, everyone was having fun. It was as the sun had set that the atmosphere began to settle and become more personal, more intimate. Uraraka wanted to sing a song with Deku and Kirishima asked Ashido if she wanted to play a co-op shooter. They both agreed to it, enjoying the mood. Their actions were innocent enough but the chemistry was too apparent to Izuku and Mina. Izuku didn't let himself over analyze the situation and decided he was done singing after that song, instead, he opted to sit and watch as he texted her on his phone. She felt strange hanging out with Kirishima lately like he was trying too hard and she didn't know why, actually she did know why, she just didn't want to acknowledge it. She was relieved when her phone chimed and even more relieved when it was a message from him, she casually broke away from their game and found a seat, texting him.

They had decided to sneak away from their friends and meet up. They had spotted each other at a crosswalk and had to wait for the light to turn. She was in a fit of giggles as they reached each other. "We're so bad! We ditched everybody."

"I know, they're gonna be mad." He did feel bad but it was starting to get awkward for him and thought some space was for the best.

"Who cares, you're always the good one, live a little." She encouraged as they interlocked fingers, walking hand in hand. "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Hm, no, not really, want to just walk around and see where it takes us?"

"Sure, I love exploring!" She tugged at his hand as she led them through the lively district. They found an ice cream stand and walked up to it, ordering two scoops.

"Ah yes, the typical snack for a stroll." She mused as she licked the cone, staring at him with half-lidded eyes.

Izuku rolled his eyes. "And you're giving me the usual dirty look as you lick it."

She chuckled, holding her side with her free hand. "I totally was."

They walked through the area, finding a few outlets, trying out accessories, and goofing off. They also found a jazz club that they decided they would make plans to go to later. They were having fun discovering the area until they reached a deeper part of it, ending up alone in a discreet alley lined up with hourly hotels.

Both of their hands tensed in their intertwined grasp, as they stared down the alley, at all of the neon lights inviting them in.

Izuku stuttered but tugged at her hand as he tried to lead them away. "C-C'mon, Mina..." But he was held back.

She didn't move. Her eyes were shaded by her hair as she kept her face aimed down the alley. "It's not a big deal, is it?"

"I-It's not, b-but we shouldn't be in a place like this, what if someone sees us?" He tried to reason.

She ignored the second part, focused on her original question. "If it's not then why don't we ever talk about it? We just ended up sneaking around."

"Mina..." He gasped out wide eyes with parted lips, staring at her and the resurfacing question from last night. He winced as he gulped down his dry unsureness. Her thumb was still rubbing over his knuckles even though he could feel her nervous shaking fingers. He cleared his throat as he spoke. "Y-You have a point. I-If you want, we can talk i-inside?"

Her eyes cleared and lit up as she turned to him. "Really?!"

They were sitting on a bed, next to each other, locking eyes.

Mina was a little embarrassed, feeling foolish but spoke her mind. "I... I was thinking, if we did that here, we could be more open about it, you know not as sneaky as at the dorms." She had her fists shut over her lap as she finished speaking her mind.

He placed his hand over hers, holding it dearly. "Yeah, Mina, it might not be as slow as we planned but at least we can be more honest." Agreeing with her.

"Yeah..." She whispered.

They didn't share any more words, starting to let their actions speak for themselves. Their eyes were shadowed by intimacy as they leaned closer together.

Their lips parted as their breaths swirled before they tasted each other. His arms found themselves roaming over her body, undoing the buttons of her uniform blouse. Her hand found his short tie and pulled on it wanting his lips closer, inhaling him. He slowly pushed her back on the bed, laying her down as he kissed her neck. They both helped each other take off their clothes, tossing them on the floor to the side.

"...Mina."

"Izuku..."

And they continued to hold hands even as their grip was buried into the sheets by their passion they never let each other go.
