Mineta awoke to the odd feeling of bone soreness. He groaned, looking at the foot of his bed...
"Holy crap! Mineta jumped up, and headed straight to the men's restroom. He could see himself in the mirror!
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mineta was jumping up and down now, his longer body doing all the work.
"What are you on about, Mineta?" Sero walked out of the stall, and noticed Mineta's change. "Woah!"
Mineta, now a whole foot and a half taller, triumphantly flashed a thumbs up. "Growth spurt, dude!"
Sero grinned. "Awesome, dude!"
The two high-fived, and exited out into the hall. A few girls walked by, most of them from 1-B.
"Guess what, ladies!?" Mineta now posed. "Mineta got an upgrade!"
"You look better taller, Mineta." Tsuyu piped up, walking over to them. "You seem more manly."
Mineta blushed a little. "Thanks, Asui-chan."
"Call me Tsu." Tsuyu gave Mineta a small smile as she turned and walked away with the 1-B girls.
"H-hi Yanagi." Sero forced the words out of his mouth, his face red.
Reiko Yanagi turned to face him, an emotionless expression on her face. Greetings, Sero. I hope you have an exceptionally splendid day."
The girl turned back around, and walked away.
Mineta looked up at Sero, who was practically red-skinned.
"So... You and ghost-girl, huh?" Mineta joked.
"Shut up..." Sero jokingly muttered as the two began to walk to class 1-A.
000
"Tsuyu and Mineta."
Mineta flashed a thumbs up to Kaminari, when Tsuyu's tongue came out of nowhere and slapped him in the face. Tsuyu smiled at the boy's groans of pain.
000
Tsuyu looked over to Mineta, who seemed somewhat nervous. The streetlights that drove by illuminated his face, making his blush visible.
"What's wrong Mineta? You're not doing anything perverted right now, Ribbit."
The sticky-hair boy turned to look at her, now as tall as she is because of his recent growth spurt. Tsuyu still couldn't get over how much more attractive the boy seemed now.
"Tsuyu-chan, It's just..." Mineta bit his lip as his statement trailed off.
"You've never been with a girl in a situation like this, have you?" Tsuyu asked.
Mineta nodded.
"Don't worry, Mineta-chan." Tsuyu placed her hand on top of his. "I'll help keep you comfortable."
Mineta blushed, allowing Tsuyu to move him where she wanted, until his head was in her lap. She scritched his circular hair, causing him to relax.
"Are you comfortable now, Mineta-chan?"
"Y-yes." Mineta smiled, looking up at the frog-girl with a smile. She looked back down, a smile also on her face.
"Kero kero."
000
Mineta flexed in the bathroom mirror, still getting used to the fact that he's tall enough to see more than his hair in the reflective glass. He flashed himself a thumbs up, his confidence glowing like a flashlight.
Knock Knock.
"Mineta, we have to go. We don't have time for you to pleasure yourself ribbit." Tsuyu stated from outside.
Mineta quickly opened the door as he stammered, "I'm not masturbating, Asui-chan!"
"Call me Tsu. Now, c'mon." Tsuyu wrapped her tongue around Mineta's foot, opened the door, and leaped forward, dragging the boy behind her.
000
The students all began to enter the commons area, Aizawa-sensei waiting for them with a trigger-button in his hand. Tsuyu was first, and Mineta was still being dragged behind her. When they finally stopped, Mineta proudly stood up next to the frog-girl.
"When the hell did he get taller?" Aizawa wondered.
000
Kaminari and Jiro arrived, the earjack girl pulling Kaminari ahead. When they stopped, Kaminari wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in closer.
"Hm." Tsuyu muttered, placing her finger to her cheek as she looked at the happy pair.
"What is it, Asui-chan?" Mineta piped up from next to the amphibious female.
"Call me Tsu, and I was just thinking that Kaminari isn't afraid to do with Jiro what you want to do with me." Tsuyu bluntly stated.
Mineta had a face of shock as Tsuyu turned to look at him.
"I see the way you look at me, Mineta. I'm not oblivious."
000
"GO!"
The students rushed to the pit, Tsuyu grabbing Mineta with her tongue and leaping into the pit first.
"FUUUUUUU-" Mineta screamed as they went into the hole.
000
Tsuyu and Mineta reached the bottom of the seemingly endless pit, a cushioned area that softened her fall.
"UUUUUUUCCCCKKKK! We're okay!" Mineta stood up, flashing his usual thumbs up.
"C'mon, Mineta." Tsuyu stated as she leaped into one of the dozen hallways that were in front of them.
"Wait, Asui-chan! We need to talk!" Mineta ran after her.
000
Mineta and Tsuyu jogged through the long hallway in silence. They stopped when they reached an intersection which split into two separate hallways.
"Left or right, ribbit?" Tsuyu turned to Mineta for an answer.
"Tsuyu, before we go, we need to talk." Mineta walked closer to Tsuyu.
"What is there to talk about?" Tsuyu stood up from her crouched position, standing face-to-face with Mineta.
"Tsuyu, do you like me or something? Because you've been acting weird." Mineta had folded his arms now, raising a sly eyebrow.
"Mineta, you do know that I always speak my mind right?"
"Uh-huh."
Tsuyu rolled her eyes a little before she said, "I like you Mineta. I like you a lot. I think you're pervertedness needs some work, but I think I can keep you straight. But you have no confidence in yourself or your abilities. So I don't think I can like you anymore."
Tsuyu continued on, not noticing Mineta walking closer to her.
"You showed promise as a possible boyfriend, but I've had to make every move. And you've just remained oblivious to it. I might as well-"
Mineta interrupted Tsuyu by quickly pecking her lips then pulling away. "There. Was that good enough for you?"
Tsuyu blinked twice, and then smiled. "That's a start, ribbit." Tsuyu pecked Mineta's cheek, and then began to hop off. "Now c'mon. We've gotta get some points."
"Yes ma'am!" Mineta jogged behind her with a smile.
000
Jiro and Kaminari jogged side by side into the room, examining the area around them. It was an all white room, illuminated by weird lights in the roof. Then, they heard footsteps heading their way from the other doorway from across the room. Tsuyu and Mineta arrived in the room, and also looked around.
"SO, YOU'VE MADE IT TO BATTLE ROOM #21!"Aizawa's voice announced over an unseen intercom. "THE TWO PAIRS INSIDE HERE MUST DUKE IT OUT, AND WHICHEVER ONE WINS WILL RECEIVE THE 50 POINTS! NOW, FIGHT!"
"Sorry about this Mineta!" Kaminari pointed a finger gun at the sticky-haired boy, and blasted a bolt of electricity at Mineta. The boy jumped to the left, narrowly avoiding instant defeat. He plucked two balls from his head, and threw them at Denki, who just zapped them out of the way.
"Mineta, you take Kaminari, I'll take Jiro!" Tsuyu full-power jumped towards Jiro, a determined look on her face.
Mineta and Kaminari were trading ball for bolt, both running in a narrowing circle.
"I'm not gonna let you embarrass me in front of Tsu, Kaminari!" Mineta gritted his teeth and dead-sprinted at Kaminari, throwing ball after ball.
"Wait, what!?" Kaminari opened his mouth in surprise. "You and Asui-chan!? You know what, screw it!" Kaminari began to charge electricity, a smirk forming on his face. "Jiro, I'm gonna take these guys out!"
Tsuyu and Jiro were clashing tongue with earjacks, keeping each other at a distance. Jiro turned and noticed what Kaminari was doing, and angrily yelled, "Kaminari, don't! Mineta's balls can resist your-"
Tsuyu's tongue whacked Jiro in the head, knocking her to the ground. "Augh!"
"It's over, Mineta!" Kaminari began to overload with electricity. "Those 50 points are- What are you doing?!"
Mineta had been forming a circle of sticky balls around Kaminari, stacking them high enough to be level with Kaminari's waist. Mineta's head was bleeding, but he slyly said, "You'll see."
"Whatever!" Kaminari released all of his electricity, zapping... The balls... The electricity bounced around the wall of sticky balls, completely contained.
"Kaminari, you idiot." Jiro groaned, burying her head in her arms and sighing in annoyance. She sat up and raised her hands, muttering, "I surrender."
The 50-point flag fell from the rooftop, and Tsuyu grabbed it with her tongue. Kaminari was now in his "derp-mode" and put two thumbs-up. Mineta walked over to Tsuyu and flashed her a thumbs-up, one that Tsuyu smiled and blushed at. The two walked outside the room as Jiro walked over to Kaminari and slapped him out of derp-mode.
"Woah! What happened?" Kaminari looked around in confusion.
"You cost us the win, that's what happened!" Jiro grimaced. She grabbed Kaminari by the hair, and pulled him towards the exit. "You better make this up to me!"
"Ow, okay! Kyoka, I-OW!"
Scoreboard
Minoru Mineta and Tsuyu Asui-50 Points

Eijiro Kirishima and Mina Ashido-1 Point
000
"Speaking of Mineta, him and Tsuyu got seventh. Mei and Shinso got sixth."
Mineta and Tsuyu high-fived, both smiling.
000
"Ah man, they're probably gonna do it!" Mineta groaned, standing up. "Kaminari, you lucky basta-"
Tsuyu's tongue slapped Mineta in the face, prompting the grape-boy to regress to a less perverted attitude.
"Sorry, Tsuyu." Mineta sighed, a somber look on his face.
"I accept your apology, ribbit."
"Wow, Tsuyu really fixed Mineta." Momo pondered, looking at the couple. "He actually APOLOGIZED for being perverted!"
000
The bottle began to slow, its 360 dragging on longer. Izuku and Ochako had blushes. Bakugo glared at the bottle as Ibara gave it a curious look. Momo gave it a look of happy anticipation, and Shihai couldn't take his eyes off her. Mineta bit his nails off his fingers, and relaxed when Tsuyu patted his head. Mina and Kirishima pumped their hands up and down in hope that they were next. The bottle finally came to a halt, pointing at...
"Mineta and Tsuyu!"
Mineta had the expression of pure shock on his face.
"C'mon, Mineta." Tsuyu stood and pulled the boy upwards and behind her, the two heading to the closet. "We've only got 5 minutes ribbit."
"Yes, ma'am!"
000
The grape-boy and the frog-girl had finally made it inside the closet. The two awkwardly stood in front of each other, Mineta's newfound height keeping them face-to-face.
"Is he going to kiss me again?" Tsuyu thought to herself.
"Alright, Minoru. All you have to do is kiss her like you did in the labyrinth." Mineta determinedly thought to himself. He took one step closer to Tsuyu. "You can do this!"
Tsuyu closed her eyes, puckering her lips towards Mineta. Mineta blushed crimson as he closed his eyes and puckered his. Slowly, their lips touched. But Mineta was confident now. He pulled Tsuyu in by the waist, causing her to blush from the sudden movement.
"Maybe...THIS will make it better." Tsuyu slid her tongue through Mineta's mouth, causing the boy to open his eyes in surprise.
"SSSSSSUUUU! (Tsuyu!)" Mineta felt Tsuyu's tongue slither in his mouth, wrapping around his tongue and licking everywhere.
"Mmmmmmmm..." Mineta was even more surprised by Tsuyu's moaning into his own mouth. She grabbed him by the head and pulled him closer. "Uh wuhtuh tuh ee ow ih fuh. (I wanted to see how it felt.)"
The two pulled away after a good forty seconds, Mineta blushing as gasped for air and felt Tsuyu's tongue still wrapped around his. Tsuyu eventually released his tongue, asking, "How did that feel for you, ribbit?" Tsuyu blushed as she said, "I didn't mean to asphyxiate you."
"No, it's fine." Mineta sighed. He gave Tsuyu a confident smile and thumbs up. "It actually felt pretty good."
Mineta was taken aback when Tsuyu intertwined her hands with his. "I'm glad."
The two connected their lips softly again, right before Mina opened the door of the closet. "Alright you two, time's up!"
The two walked out of the closet, holding hands and blushing.
000
"Guys?" Tsuyu asked, putting a finger to her face in thought.
"Yeah?" Kirishima asked, turning to face her. Tsuyu and Mineta were sitting directly next to each other, hands together.
"Is it okay if me and Tsuyu go back to our room?" Mineta stammered. "We want some alone time."
"Ohhh, 'alone time', sure buddy." Kirishima and Mina winked at Minoru. "We get it, grape boy."
"GAAAH, NO IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Mineta waved his arms up and down frantically. "WE JUST WANTED TO WATCH A MOVIE OR SOMETHING!"
The pink girl and red-haired boy snickered, prompting Mineta to flare up from embarrassment even more.
"C'mon, Mineta." Tsuyu grabbed the grape-boy with her tongue and dragged him off, his outcry fading away.
000
Tsuyu walked out of the bathroom, her hair fully washed. It hung down in all of its entirety, stopping at her calves. Mineta blushed when he saw her, and patted a spot for her to sit next to him on the bed.
"Mineta, can you do me a favor, ribbit?" Tsuyu questioned.
"Um, sure." Mineta looked the frog-girl in the eyes. "What?"
"Can you help me do my hair in the bow I usually have it in? My mom usually helps, but she's clearly unavailable." Tsuyu had a thoughtful look as she said this, secretly thinking, "If Mineta actually wants to be with me, then he wouldn't mind..."
"Sure, I don't mind!" Mineta sat behind her, and began to braid her hair.
"Maybe he IS a keeper, even if he needs to get over his pervertedness." Tsuyu smiled. "But that's okay, I can help with that."
000
The girl with the sharp, silver skin shot knife blades in Tsuyu and Mineta's direction. Tsuyu leaped out of the way, grabbing Mineta with her tongue and pulling him away. The boy threw ball after ball at the knife-girl, an angered look on his face.
"Stupid kids." The knife-girl muttered, extending dozens of knives from her forearms
Mineta and Tsuyu landed, still avoiding the knives.
"What do we do, Tsuyu?" Mineta outcried.
"I'm not sure, ribbit." Tsuyu quickly said, avoiding the knives. She wrapped her tongue around Mineta and leaped off into the forest, the knife-girl giving chase.
000
"Where are you brats!?" The knife woman yelled, shooting blades into the surrounding trees. Little did she know, the two were crouching atop a tree branch above.
"What do we do?" Mineta questioned. "We can't just run off again."
"True." Tsuyu pondered. "Maybe we can hit her with a tree branch."
As Tsuyu continued thinking out loud, Mineta thought, "I know what I can do. My balls should be sticky enough for my plan, but Tsuyu might get hurt! I can't let that happen!"
"Alright, Tsuyu. I have a plan. But I need you to toss me with your tongue to THAT tree branch." Mineta whispered, pointing to a tree branch that was closer to the knife woman.
"Are you sure?" Tsuyu asked, somewhat worried.
"You trust me, don't you?" Mineta asked holding her hand.
"...Alright, I'll do it, but I'm coming with you."
"...Okay."
Tsuyu used her tongue to throw Mineta to the tree branch, but when she attempted to move, she couldn't. She looked at her hand, and saw a ball stuck it to the branch!
"Mineta, why would you stick me here!?" Tsuyu thought to herself.
"Hey, Dagger-bitch!"
The knfie-woman looked up to Mineta with an angered look. She flung some knives upwards, but the grape-boy dodged them.
"Tsuyu Asui!" Mineta smirked heroically as he jumped down towards the knife woman with balls in both hands. "If I don't make it through this, I just want you to know something!"
Knives flew past Mineta as he threw the balls at the knife woman. One blade cut his cheek, and another embedded into his left-leg, but he didn't quit.
"I love you, Froppy!" Mineta shouted as he landed a powerful to the knife woman's sharp face. She fell to the ground, Mineta's sticky balls trapping her there.
"I...I did it." Mineta gasped, pulling the blade out of his leg. "I...I...I did..."
Mineta fell to the ground as Tsuyu landed on the ground, pulling the broken-off tree branch in her stuck-to-it hand.
"Mineta!" She laid him flat on the ground and felt his chest for a pulse. "Oh, thank goodness!"
"Froppy, what happened here!?" Aizawa yelled, finally arriving onto the scene.
"Mineta...He saved me." Tsuyu hiccuped, a few tears rolling down her face. "He's..."
"I love you, Froppy!"
"He's...My hero."
Aizawa picked up the unconscious Mineta, a somber look on his face. "I see. Come back with me to camp, we need to tend to his wounds."
"Okay." Tsuyu said, following behind Eraser-Head.
"By the way, Tsuyu..." Aizawa gave Tsuyu a smile. "Don't worry, he'll be okay. I'll make sure of it."
Tsuyu had a small smile as she said, "Thank you."
000
Mineta opened the door, and was surprised by Tsuyu jumping on him with a hug.
"You're okay! I'm so glad!"
"I'm happy to see you again too, Tsuyu." Mineta sheepishly smiled, Tsuyu's chest, pushed against his. He tiredly sat on the bed, rubbing the bandage on his face.
"Also...There's something I need to tell you."
"Yes, Tsuyu?"
"I... I never got to tell you that I love you too." Tsuyu blushed as she said it, and Mineta smiled wide. "And I want to be with you. As your girlfriend."
Tsuyu leaped onto Mineta, sitting atop his abdomen. Her lips touched his, and they shared a passionate kiss. Mineta gave Tsuyu a sly look as he separated.
"If we're going to date, I need to get this off my chest."
Tsuyu raised her eyebrows. "What is it?"
Her answer was given when Mineta began kissing her neck.
"Mineta!" Tsuyu shouted, and gasped when Mineta sucked on her neck. He stopped, and then slipped his tongue in her mouth.
"MMMMMM!" Tsuyu yellled inside Mineta's mouth, taken surprise by how quickly his tongue licked hers."Mmmmm! Mmmmmm..." Tsuyu used her tongue on Mineta now, wrapping it around his in its entirety. She pulled him closer by the head, and the two cuddled while french-kissing on the bed.
"I love you, Grape-Juice. Even if you do crazy, sexual things." Tsuyu thought to herself. "But I think I like french-kisses."
000
"Mineta?" Tsuyu asked, shaking her new boyfriend awake.
"Hm?" Mineta slowly awoke, sitting up straight and looking at his new girlfriend. He put a hand behind his head and itched his neck.
"If we're going to date, then there's something I need you to do, ribbit." Tsuyu said, placing a finger to her chin.
Mineta gulped before asking, "what?"
"The pornography, Mineta. I need you to get rid of it all." Asui bluntly stated, causing Mineta's jaw to drop.
"Gah...G..." Mineta stammered, before swallowing his shock. "Tsuyu, I..."
"You said that you loved me, Mineta." Tsuyu said, placing a hand on Mineta's. "I love you too. But the best way to prove that you actually do love me is by giving up your addiction. I don't want it to ruin our relationship. I want to be with you, not you while you look at boobs online." Tsuyu leaned in closer to Mineta, and began blushing. "You understand me, right?"
Mineta stared into her careful eyes, and sighed as he said, "Yes. I'll get rid of all of it. For you. I promise. I-I love you, Tsuyu."
Tsuyu kissed Mineta in response, causing the boy to open his eyes wide in surprise. However, he leaned into the kiss, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer. They separated, and Tsuyu smiled. "I love you too, Mineta."
000
"Greetings, Tsuyu. How have things been?" Tsuyu's father's gruff voice warmly asked.
"Well, things are nice. We recently had a school project, and I got a boyfriend." Tsuyu plainly answered. "For the next phase of the class project, I'll have to go on seven dates with him, and he'll have to meet you."
Silence responded. Ganma simply said, "What?"
"Father, I explained it entirely. What's troubling you?"
"You just...Have a boyfriend now? When were you going to tell me?"
"Well, father, I wasn't sure if I had actually wanted to be with him. But I do."
"...Fine. Please tell me he's at least worthy of my approval."
"Yes, father." Tsuyu smiled when she thought of Mineta grinning and flashing a thumbs up to her when he was bragging about his growth spurt. "His name's Mineta Minoru. I think that you're really going to like him."
Mineta calls his family
"Yes? Hello?" Mineta's mom answered.
"Mom! Mom! I have good news!" Mineta yelled into his phone.
"Mineta? Sweetie, what happened!"
"I HIT A GROWTH SPURT! I'M AVERAGE HEIGHT!"
"MINETA THAT'S FANTASTIC! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!"
"THERE'S ANOTHER THING!" Mineta shrieked.
"What?"
"I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!"
000
Next were Mineta and Tsuyu.
Minoru was giving his girlfriend a piggy-back ride, and the two walked in the class with a smile. Mineta had his trademark thumbs-up grin, while Tsuyu smiled with her arms wrapped around her boyfriend's neck. She hopped off, and the two hugged briefly.
"Ah, you two are so cute together!" Mina said, hyping up the frog-girl and grape-boy.
"But not as cute as my newly shined boots!" Yuga Aoyama said, pointing at his boots.
"Aoyama, your shoes are nice, but no one cares." Tsuyu bluntly stated, pecking Mineta's forehead. The two went to their desks, still making eyes at each other.
000
"Tsu, do you think that your family will like me?" Mineta asked, laying his head in the frog-girl's lap.
"Well, as long as you don't say anything creepy, ribbit." Tsuyu said, scratching his hair. This had become a regular little thing for the two, Tsuyu scratching Mineta's hair and Minoru braiding hers. "I think they'll like you. My father may give you a hard time, but I think you'll be able to impress him, ribbit."
Mineta grinned and leaped up, puffing his chest out. "THEN I'LL SHALL EARN HIS ADMIRATION!"
Tsuyu giggled, looking at her boyfriend with loving eyes
000
As the powerful vehicle drove off, a large, green family SUV pulled up. One of the backseat windows rolled down, and Satsuki Asui popped her head out.
"Big sis!"
Tsuyu smiled, hopping to the van while Mineta jogged behind her.
000
"So, you haven't done anything physical with my daughter?" Ganma Asui asked.
"No! Well, I guess we-" Mineta was silenced by Tsuyu's tongue slapping him.
"You what?" Ganma asked.
The frog-dad was driving the car, while Beru Asui sat in the passenger seat. Samidare and Satsuki played with Mineta's hair, giggling at how it bounced back to his scalp.
Tsuyu gave Mineta a nervous look, unsure of what he was about to say. She trusted he'd have good judgement and not saying anything dumb. He was HER boyfriend, of course.
"We kissed three times. But it wasn't some weird, hormone-driven act. The first time we kissed, I kissed her to show that I liked her back."
Ganma narrowed his eyes/
"The second time, it was to prove that I actually wanted to be with her."
Ganma narrowed his eyes and began to grit his teeth.
"The third time, it was after I had told her that I was in love with her and saved her from a villain."
Ganma opened his eyes back to normal length, and stopped gritting his teeth. "You...Saved her from a villain?"
"Yeah!" Mineta piped up, grinning. "Got a pretty cool leg scar from where I got stabbed, too!"
Ganma looked at Mineta from the indoor rear-view mirror, and nodded. "Maybe you're not so bad, after all."
Mineta flashed his trademark thumbs up, and gave Tsuyu a reassuring nod. The frog-girl smiled.
"My hero."
000
As the frog-girl and grape-boy stood outside the door, Tsuyu grabbed Mineta's shoulder and turned him to face her.
"Minoru, I just want you to know, ribbit," She began, "My father won't go easy on you, at all. If you want to break up now, I won't blame you. I'll be okay with being your friend. I'll be sad, but I'll be okay with-"
Mineta hugged her, causing the frog girl to stop mid-sentence. She hugged him back, a few tears rolling down her face.
"I love you, Tsu."
"I love you, Minoru."
