Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

Mina's eyes snapped open at the sound of frantic knocking against her door. She took a second to get her bearings before answering.

"Who is it?" She made sure no to be too loud, lest she disturb the person with whom she was currently entangled. Izuku was still sleeping soundly, his arms intertwined with her own, keeping in a warm, snug embrace. She smiled to herself, thinking of what the two had just done with another not too long ago. She hadn't really expected him to be so willing to go along with it. Well, maybe he hadn't at first, but it didn't take much to convince him. And now here they were: wrapped up in Mina's bedsheets, holding each other in a nude embrace. Finally, the person on the other side of her door answered her question.

"It's Kirishima. I came to check on you. Everybody is worried about you, you know? We haven't really seen you much since the party last night. Is everything okay?" He sounded really concerned.

Mina hadn't really considered that her absence that day might tip someone off to her less-than-stellar mood. But that didn't matter now. She and Izuku had talked out the awkwardness and gotten past it. Or so she thought. Maybe things would just be more complicated now. She didn't really stop to consider that sleeping with one another a second time could worsen things, especially considering that this time, they were both fully aware of everything that they had done. She didn't want to think about that right now though. Right now, she had to deal with Kirishima's sudden appearance at her door.

"Mina, can I come in?"

"Umm, hold on! I'm not decent. Let me get dressed." Shit! She couldn't really say no. That would just raise his suspicions further. But what should she do about Izuku? He was still asleep and she wasn't to keen on waking him up just to tell him to hide himself. She could just cover him up. Kirishima wasn't the type to just snoop around someone else's room. She drew the covers up and over his face loosely, then she ruffled up the rest of the bedspread to try and conceal his sleeping form. She quickly hopped over to her dresser and pulled out a clean outfit to throw on. Once she was clothed, she went to her door and let in her red-haired friend.

Kirishima wasted no time in getting straight to the point.

"Mina, what the fuck is going on? Nobody's seen you all day. You're not responding to anyone's messages, not even Hagakure's. What's wrong?" She was a bit taken aback by his sudden use of profanity, but was prepared to counter his suspicions swiftly. She turned around so he wouldn't see her expression, just in case she gave herself away.

"Everything's fine Eijiro. I've just been doing some extra studying today. I'm trying not to fall behind before the Midterm exams in a couple of weeks." Mina had confidence that her lie would work. It wasn't exactly some grand secret that her grades weren't the best. Sure, she did put effort into her studies, but she often found herself bored and distracted before she could get any real work done, and as such, her academics suffered. So lying about studying throughout the day would be the most believable lie she could spin. She turned back to Kirishima to gauge whether or not her lie would prove successful.

Mina's confidence faltered. He looked utterly unconvinced. His right eyebrow was extended upward and he wore a knowing smirk on his lips. She was busted.

"That's bullshit. I know you wouldn't spend your entire Saturday up here studying, so what have you really been doing? What are you trying to cover up?!" Kirishima raised his voice to a quiet yell. She had never really seen him like this. It was intimidating, and frankly, she had no clue how to get herself out of this now. What she heard next made her blood run cold though.

Izuku quietly stirred within his hiding spot. He made a few quiet murmurs before stretching out. His arms peeked out of the top of her bedding, before gripping the edge and pulling them down to reveal his face. She panicked and turned to read her friend's expression. Kirishima's eyes were wide and his jaw was slack. Uh oh.

"K-K-Kirishima?! M-Mina?! What's going on?!" Poor Izuku had no idea what he had just stumbled into.

"This is where you've been all day and night?! You know? I didn't want to believe her, but Uraraka was right. I can't believe you were avoiding everyone just to… just to screw some poor guy on a rebound. That's low." His disappointed gaze pierced Mina. Her own Horn Buddy had been swayed by Ochaco's twisted words.

But was he really that wrong? Was Ochaco wrong?

The first time she and Izuku had lain together, they had both been intoxicated beyond belief. And the second time she had used his and her curiosity regarding their first time to convince him to sleep with her a second time. What did Izuku have to say about this? Why wasn't he saying anything about this.

"W-Wait! Kirishima, it's not like that! M-Mina wasn't waking advantage of me like that. She t-took care of me the night of the party. W-we had both had a lot to drink; neither of us could have known what was going to happen. And t-then today… today we were both just trying to satisfy our c-curiosity. So please don't blame Mina. She didn't do anything wrong." The greenette was still a stuttering mess, but had become her staunch defender. She blushed fiercely. She was glad he was here, even if his appearance had been what catalyzed the current topic of conversation.

"Curiosity? What are you talking about Midoriya? You're not making any sense man."

"W-well…" Now it was Mina's turn to step in for their defense.

"Kirishima. What he means is that we shared a special moment together and had almost no idea what actually happened between us. We were curious. Who wouldn't be? We wanted to know what the experience was like, so we did it again, but this time on our terms. And if you can't support your friends' decisions, then how can you call yourself a man?" She knew it was a low blow, striking at his "manliness", but she felt it was the only way she'd really get through to him. He did seem a little hurt at first, but that quickly morphed into understanding.

"You're right. I'm sorry Mina. I shouldn't have doubted you." He turned to Izuku. "You too Midoriya. I'm sorry man."

"It's okay." They said it in unison. A comfortable chorus of resolve. The air in the room seemed to lighten up a bit.

"Oh yeah. I also came up here to let you know that Aizawa called for a class meeting at 7. I figured since you weren't responding to anyone that you probably hadn't seen his message yet. So I just wanted to give you a heads up." A meeting? What would Aizawa need to meet with them about on a Saturday night? That was worrisome. Regardless, she thanked her friend for the message.

"Thanks, Kirishima. I appreciate it."

"Of course. I've got to get going though. I need to make sure Bakugo knows to show up to this meeting too." He laughed at that. Though he was the only one. Kirishima seemed to be the only person in the class who genuinely enjoyed the explosive boy's company.

"Anyway. See you two in a little bit." With that, he had slipped back out into the hall.

Mina and Izuku both breathed a sigh of relief.

"W-well, that went b-better than I thought it w-would." His nerves probably hadn't calmed down yet. She checked the time. 6:43 pm. They didn't have very long to get to the common room. She wasn't really eager to discus the implications of everything from the day, so instead she shifted the subject.

"You should probably get dressed. We've got to be down in the common room soon."

"R-Right." His face turned scarlet.

"Um, M-Mina. I can't really c-change when you're staring at me." Now it was her turn to blush again.

"Oh yeah. Sorry, Midori." Mina laughed before turning around quickly. She supposed he was probably hung up on the meaning of it all also. That was why he was worried about her seeing him naked. Still, she obliged nonetheless and waited patiently for the sounds of his awkward shuffling to stop. Once he had fallen silent, she asked him if he was ready.

"You all good?"

Izuku just hummed in affirmation and she turned around to see he was indeed fully clothed. Mina walked over to her door and opened it. She waited patiently for him to walk through before she made her way through herself. She shut the door behind her before they both began making their way to the common room.

For some reason, she just couldn't seem to shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen.

When Mina and Izuku made it into the common room, the heavy feeling in her stomach seemed to amplify tenfold. Most everybody had already gathered and at the sound of their footsteps approaching, all eyes were immediately on them. She hadn't necessarily forgotten what Kirishima had told them about Ochaco, but she had been trying not to think about it. Maybe she and Izuku should've come down to the common room at separate times to avoid suspicion, but it was too late for than now. Now everyone was going to think they had been together all evening, which wasn't untrue, just not what she wanted them to think.

The next thing that made Mina's uneasiness grow exponentially, was that at the head of room stood not only Aizawa, but Midnight as well. Why was she here too? Was she going to look at their cards again?! She turned to Izuku to see how he was holding up. He was fidgeting with his hands and seemed to be mumbling a sting of panicked observations to himself. He clearly had the same idea she had: they were about to get found out by the faculty the day after they had been warned not to fool around.

"We're just waiting on Bakugo and Kirishima now, then we'll be ready to start." Aizawa announced to the class. Midnight stood next to him, her lips pursed tightly. She seemed to be shifting uncomfortably. Was she excited? Was she eager to catch her students doing something they were forbidden to do? Mina didn't think she'd ever understand that woman. She was by far the most… unique in her ways of teaching and hero work, and it was a bit unsettling if she was being honest. But the way her eyes scanned the faces of her students and her occasional leg shift of discomfort was way more off-putting than her usual behavior. Mina shivered.

A couple minutes later, Bakugo and Kirishima finally found their way to the common area. Once they were settled, Aizawa cleared his throat to catch the attention of his students.

"Thank you for meeting here tonight Class 1A. We've got some very important things to discus. But first, did you all enjoy your little celebration last night?" He received many cheers and cries of "Yeah!" in response. Overall, everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves the previous night. Mina was hesitant to respond, and it seemed Izuku was too. Last night was a mixed bag for the both of them she supposed.

"Good, because that's the last time you'll be having one of those. Now, onto the main point of this meeting: the real purpose of last night's party." Everyone fell dead silent at their teacher's words. The real purpose? There had been an ulterior motive to last nights social gathering. Now it seemed everybody was starting to panic a bit. Had they really been caught in another one of Aizawa's logical deceptions?! Midnight stepped forward.

"While last night's party's purpose was to let you all cut loose for a night, it was really a logical ruse on the part of the faculty. It was Eraser's idea at first, but the rest of us took the opportunity to gauge how some of you would behave if given the social freedom to act how you wanted. And needless to say, the results were phenomenal…" Her cheeks tinged pink as she rubbed her thighs together. This woman was absolutely insane! The teacher then went on to list all of her observations about the night.

"To start, Ashido kicked everyone off by slipping some alcohol into the punch. I believe this was the moment that catalyzed everything…" Mina tuned out her teacher after this moment. She wasn't really interested in what everyone else had done that night; she was still worried about where this entire conversation would lead though. She noticed Midnight shift her gaze to Izuku. This could be important. She focused in again on what the pro hero had to say.

"…And Midoriya and Uraraka had a brief moment of passion. Midoriya resisted soon thereafter and caused a verbal argument to start. This might have been my favorite moment of the entire night! So much youthful drama! So much passion!" Mina didn't like being reminded of Ochaco's behavior from the party, though she wasn't sure why. Just thinking about the pink-cheeked girl having her way with Izuku made her well up with a hot rage. It was so unlike her, and she hated it. She looked over at the girl in question and saw she had her gaze fixed on the floor. She looked very sullen. Serves her right. What she did was messed up, and it could've been something that her Izuku would regret forever. Wait. Her Izuku? He wasn't hers. Where had that thought come from? Mina pushed it aside and returned her attention to the lewd woman at the front of the room. She seemed to have finished her excited recounting of the previous night's events.

"…Now! Everyone please pull out your cards. We need to see them again to record whether or not any of you went a little far last night." Here it was. The moment Mina had been dreading. What were they going to say? Was she going to be expelled? Was Izuku going to be kicked out with her?! She couldn't bear the thought of dragging her green-haired down with her. Everyone knew that it was his dream to attend UA and become a hero. And it was going to be her fault that his dream was shattered. She pulled "her" card out of her pocket and held it in her hand, biding her time before Midnight reached her. She saw Izuku do the same. The R-Rated heroine pulled out her checklist from the previous day and a writing utensil to make corrections with as needed. She started at the far end opposite Mina and Izuku.

"Tokoyami, check. Asui, check. Shoji, check. Koda, check. Sato, X. Uraraka, X. Hagakure, check. Ojiro, check. Aoyama, check. Kaminari, check. Jiro, X. Ida, X. Sero, check. Yaoyorozu, X. Bakugo, X. Todoroki, check. Mineta, X. Kirishima, check." She had finally reached Izuku, when she stopped suddenly.

"Oh! Would you look at that. We do have some adjustments to make after all. Midoriya, X. Ashido, X. Congratulations you two." She winked at them and the two turned into exasperated, blushing messes. Now the entire class knew that the rumors were true. They knew that Mina and Izuku had done the deed with one another. But that was the least of their worries. Now UA knew what they had done and that meant it was time for them to be punished. Mina swallowed hard and braced for what came next.

"Really?" Aizawa's right eyebrow raised at his statement.

"We give you one opportunity to screw things up, and that's exactly what you do. Ashido, Midoriya. I expected more from the both of you. My disappointment is unimaginable. You leave me with only one choice…"

"Wait!" Izuku suddenly blurted out next to her. What was he doing? He would only make things worse by fighting back. Their teacher's attention shifted over to the greenette. He continued.

"It… It was all my fault. I was the one who pushed everything forward. Don't blame Mina for anything…"

"Midoriya. I expected better than this from you. If this is true, then I have no choice but to exp…" Now it was her turn to interject.

"That's not true! Izuku's lying! I had just as much to do with this as he had!" The boy looked stunned at her sudden honesty and began to string together another counterargument but was quickly cut off by her own verbal assault. Both failed to notice their homeroom teacher's growing impatience. His quirk flared to life, his eyes turning red and his hair raising into the air. Altogether a very menacing look.

"Enough! If you two are going to continue to fight over who's taking the fall for this, then you'll both just have to take responsibility for your actions. Now as I was trying to say earlier, this will not go unpunished. After a bit of reevaluation, we determined that expulsion might be a bit too harsh a punishment for something like this. After all, you are all young, aspiring heroes, but you're also teenagers. And as they say: 'teens will be teens.' So instead, we'll be putting you both on house arrest. One week each. Your punishments will be staggered of course. Keeping you two cooped up in the dorm rooms with just each other for a week would be a terrible idea on our part, so it was decided that Midoriya would have a week of house arrest starting tomorrow. Once his tenure has expired, Ashido will have her week."

Mina and Izuku both breathed a sigh of relief. She had genuinely thought they might face expulsion. But now she could rejoice in the fact that she would only have to deal with a week of chores by herself in the dorm rooms. That wouldn't be too bad. And she was definitely glad that Izuku hadn't been expelled either. She wouldn't have been able to live with herself if she had crushed his dreams.

"Alright everyone, you're all dismissed. See you Monday morning." The entire class began to disperse to different areas of the dorms. Mina and Izuku were about to do the same when the two teachers stopped them.

"Not you too. We have a bit more to discuss." Aizawa looked very stern. Mina knew this would be very important then. He looked to Midnight as if telling her to go on with what he was saying. She obliged readily.

"Now, we understand that there's not much we can do in our power to stop you two from continuing what you're doing, so we're gonna have a little chat instead." They both blushed madly at the thought of continuing their intimate relationship. That thought hadn't really crossed their minds yet, but it definitely had now. Mina made a mental note to approach Izuku about it later. Midnight pulled out a small square package. It had a rounded bulge in the center. She had a vague idea of what it was.

"Do you two know what this is?" Midoriya nodded while she just shrugged. She was surprised that he knew what it was though. He was a little more well-educated on this subject than she thought he would be.

"It's a condom. They'll be made available from now on. We're going to be keeping them stored here in the common area in the future." She went on to explain what it was the condom was for. Needless to say, Mina was thoroughly embarrassed. And a quick glance to her right told her Izuku was too. But her humiliation was quickly replaced with panic. They hadn't used any sort of contraception either time! Were they going to have a child?! Why wasn't she better educated?

"Um, M-Midnight? What if…?" Midnight quickly interjected.

"Only time will tell the consequences of your late night rendezvous. Give it a few weeks and we can check." She put a hand on Mina's shoulder and gave it a comforting rub. Though it didn't do much to comfort her in the long run, she was still thankful for the gesture.

After that, the two were dismissed to go back to their rooms. It had been determined that Izuku's house arrest would start Sunday and run through Saturday. Mina's would do the same, it would just begin the Sunday after his ended. She grumbled in frustration at that. A whole week confined to the dorms and she wouldn't even have any company. Not to mention the lengthy list of chores they had both been given to tackle in their free time at home. She was really not looking forward to that. Oh well. These were the consequences of their actions. They would just have to accept the situation no matter what.

They reached the elevator and called it down. They shuffled in and Izuku clicked the buttons for their rooms' floors. They sat in an uncomfortable silence. The weight of their actions was only really beginning to set in. They had sex. Twice. And had been caught. Her thoughts flashed to that of the cards. She really hated the V-Cards. They had no real purpose. Well, besides tracking the status of virginity from person to person. But why did the government need to do that? The more she thought about it, the more paranoid she became. She couldn't really come up with a real reason for the cards existence. And that alone made her wonder if it was just beyond her imagination. Mina considered herself to be pretty imaginative to begin with, and if she couldn't come up with something, then it must really be wild.

"Bye Ashido. Have a good night." She hadn't even noticed the doors had opened as Izuku was slipping out of them. Her heart sank a bit to hear him call her something other than Mina, but she ignored it and followed him out. She wasn't sure what compelled her to do so, but it was happening now. He hadn't seemed to notice yet. He got all the way to his door and fished out his key before he noticed her in the corner of his eye.

"Um, Ashido. W-What are you doing?" There was that heart-wrenching feeling again. Why had he stopped calling her Mina all of a sudden? More importantly, what was she doing? She had only really followed him out of the lift on a gut instinct. So what was her gut trying to get her to do?

"Izuku." Mina relished in the light blush painting his face. She loved to fluster people, and he was such an easy target. But now that she had his attention, what was she supposed to say?

"I think we should talk." She ended up going with the first thing that came to mind. But now she had no idea what to say next. He ended up speaking next.

"O-Okay. W-Would you like to come in and s-sit down then?" Ever the gentleman. Of course she'd take him up on his offer. She nodded and he finished unlocking and opening his door. He held it wide open for her to pass through.

As Mina entered, her vision was filled with All Might memorabilia of all varieties. Izuku had a few posters of the man lining his walls and small statuettes and figures of the hero on his shelves and desk. To top it all off, his bedspread was even themed after the former pro, a detail which irked her a bit. She supposed they would just have to meet one another in her room from now on, until she could get adjusted to his interesting hobby of course.

But that only mattered if Izuku wanted to keep seeing her, in any capacity. Is that what she wanted though? Sure, she admired the young hero immensely, but earlier today had been their first full-blown conversation, and it just so happened to be about the two of them sleeping together. She wasn't entirely sure, but that didn't sound like the base of a sound relationship. Not to mention, she didn't know a lot about him outside of what he made apparent, but that could be remedied easily.

When Mina simplified it all, she could tell that she was attracted to Izuku, know she just needed to find out if he felt the same. He gestured to his bed and his desk.

"Y-You can sit wherever. W-What did you want to talk about A-Ashido?" Her mind made up, she was ready to get straight to the point.

"Us. I want to talk about us, Izuku. We can't just avoid talking after everything we've gone through these last couple of days." She made it her priority to continue using his first name. Right now, she wasn't concerned with how embarrassed it made him, she just wanted to feel the personal connection of first name-basis again.

"W-W-What do you m-mean us?!" He was raising a voice now, probably because he was nervous. But Mina was serious, she wouldn't be able to make it much longer without addressing what was going on between the two, so she pushed forward.

"I'm talking about how we had sex, Izuku. Twice. And one of those times was completely intentional on both our parts. So I think we should probably discuss what this means for our relationship." She felt like her brazenness would help urge her green-haired friend to speak his mind.

"R-R-Relationship?! What are you talking about Ashido?!"

"Relationship, Izuku! It's how two people feel about one another! We were barely able to call each other friends two days ago, but now look at us! What are we?! Friends?! Fuck buddies?! Or something more…?" Mina had started to let her frustration get the better of her. She just couldn't handle his naivety right now. And it was definitely unfair to get mad at him for something like that, but damnit! She just wanted answers!

"How two people feel about one another… W-Well, who says we have to p-put a label on this right n-now anyways?"

"What?! You can't leave me hanging like that Izuku! This is eating me up inside! I mean, this all has to mean something right? This isn't just a one-off thing, is it…?" Mina could feel herself tearing up. She wasn't one to cry often. But the guy she liked (?) had just told her he didn't want to label their relationship, and it hurt. She wasn't sure why either. She knew what they had was by no means an established relationship to begin with. Hell, she wasn't even sure if they "had" anything at all. Maybe this was just a two-time thing to Izuku…

No. She doubted that last thought. He wasn't the type to just use a person like that. She was at least sure that he wouldn't just leave her behind like her mind was trying to convince her. Nevertheless, she was still stressing out over everything, and it was starting to get to her badly. Suddenly, her thoughts were calmed as she was wrapped in warmth.

Izuku was not an expert at comforting others but seeing Mina cry stirred an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. Before he knew it, his body was moving all on its own. He wrapped his arms around her, tightly. She seemed surprised at first, but after a moment, she leaned into him and continued to cry. He moved his hand up and down her back, gently rubbing her to soothe her.

Once her crying dies down, Izuku pulled away from Mina. Though he was blushing madly at the realization that he had just been cradling a pretty girl, he found himself missing the contact more than he thought he ever would.

"A-Ashido…"

"Mina." Oh. She wanted him to call her that? He had only been doing it earlier because he was caught up in the moment. He guessed it made sense considering she had been calling him by his first name the entire time.

"R-Right. Um, Mina… I'm not completely sure what you mean by all of this, but maybe we should start by getting to know each other a bit better?" He didn't know why, but he was worried that his question might set her off again. He was treading in unknown territory at this point. He had been for days now, but he was in the same boat as Mina: he was ready to get past all of this.

"What… what do you mean?"

"Well, w-we could go on a… a d-date!" Izuku doubted she'd agree. She was right after all; they barely knew each other a couple days ago. What reason would she have to go on a date with him?

"R-Really?"

Wait. S-She wanted to go on a date with him?! That didn't make any sense. He was Izuku Midoriya. A deku. A useless nerd. He wasn't somebody who was worth the time and trouble. And yet, here he was, asking out a girl. And she was actually interested. He quickly realized she was waiting on a response and continued.

"Y-Yeah! We could go on a date and get to know each other a bit better. Then we can decide where to take this all once we're better acquainted." Mina's eyes lit up. He began to feel warm, but not just in his face anymore. The warmth had spread to his chest. And it only grew in intensity when the pink-haired heroine beamed a bright smile his way. She jumped up and pulled him into a tight hug, all the while squealing in delight.

"Oh, Izuku. I'm so excited! I can't wait! Oh…" Her excitement faltered.

"W-What's wrong? Did I say something bad?"

"N-No! I was just thinking. We'll have to wait until we're both finished with house arrest before we can go anywhere! It's gonna be a whole two weeks before we can go on our date!"

"O-Oh. I hadn't thought about that. Well, we'll just have to spend whatever time we have with each other until then to learn about ourselves. It would probably make a date smoother anyways for us to not be almost complete strangers." Mina giggled in response and he felt his chest clench again. What was this? It wasn't entirely pleasant—it made it a little hard to breathe—but it wasn't all to awful either—Izuku really enjoyed the warmth it provided him.

He really wanted to explore these feelings further, but he was exhausted and really needed to sleep. Reluctantly, he informed Mina of his current state.

"N-Not to say I don't enjoy having you around or anything like that, but I'm really tired Mina. I need to get showered and get some sleep." She puffed her cheeks out him and folded her arms in a pouting fashion. She quickly resigned herself though, saying she also needed to shower before rushing out of his room suddenly, leaving him standing alone.

The warm feelings left along with Mina, which he made a note of in the back of his mind. Definitely another clue in the case of "What is Izuku dealing with now?" He chuckled internally. If he had remained quirkless, he doubted he could have pursued a career as a detective. After all, he could barely decipher his own emotions, and those were internal!

Izuku grabbed a change of clothes and his shower kit, before making his way to the showers. He hastily scrubbed away the residue from the last couple days and returned to his room promptly. He was so eager to get to bed finally. He slipped himself into his sheets and began to get settled.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Was that his door? Or a neighbor's? Probably not his; he ignored it.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Izuku groaned. It was his door after all. He slid his bedcovers down and hopped onto his floor gently. On his way to the door, the mysterious assailant knocked a few more times.

"I'm coming! Give me a second!" As soon as the door was open, he was greeted with a familiar face. Black and yellow eyes, pink skin, and horns were the traits of his visitor.

"Mina? You're back?" She was back already? She had just left, so what was she doing here? Not that he wasn't happy to see her, but he really was serious about wanting to sleep.

"Yep! I'm back Izu!"

"W-Why?! I mean, I'm happy to see you…! Well, wait no… I don't mean it like that! Or I do?! W-What I mean is…"

"I get it dude. Calm down. I was here because… I was hoping I could stay here tonight…"

Oh god! Izuku really did not think this was a great idea, but something in the back of his mind told him to let her.

"Um…"

"Please Izuku! I promise I won't do anything. I just feel like I would sleep a little better around you…" Mina shrunk in on herself and her voice tapered off. He couldn't resist after that; she was proving to be very persuasive. He relented and opened his door wide enough for her to slip through quickly.

He turned around to see that she had wormed her way into the far side of his bed sheets. Only her head poked out of the top, wearing a cheeky smile. He felt the warm fuzziness return and this time he was sure it was because of Mina. Izuku was both excited and scared at his revelation but chose to ignore it for now. He really wanted to sleep, and his bed was more inviting than ever now.

He made his way over and slid back under the covers. Mina immediately shifted close to him and draped her arm across him. He felt his face burn but dealt with it anyway. A large part of him was enjoying the closeness with her and before he knew it, he was drifting off to sleep.
