Midoriya woke up from a ray of sunlight shining directly into his eyes. He sleepily pushed himself to sit straight up and took a glance at his alarm clock. For a second he thought he overslept and would be late to school until he realized it was a Saturday meaning he woke up reasonably early. He decided it would be useless to try to go back to sleep and hopped out of bed, on his way to the kitchen he quickly grabbed his phone from his desk and noticed he had a message from Kendo. It had been a week since they first trained together and they had trained together a few more times, the two of them had become friends, not necessarily close friends but friends nonetheless. He opened the message and quickly checked the time stamp, it had been sent about 10 minutes ago.
Kendo: Hey I was wondering if you want to come shopping with me today? I know most boys don't really like shopping but all of the girls I know are busy.
He glanced over at his calendar which was almost depressingly empty and quickly typed something back.
Midoriya: Sounds like fun to me. Does 1 pm work for you? I would like to get my daily workout routine done before we go.
Kendo: Yes 1 pm works! I didn't expect you to say yes but I'm glad I won't have to go alone. Want to meet up at the mall?
Midoriya: Sounds good, I'll see you then.
Midoriya opened his chat with Kirishima and quickly typed a small message.
Midoriya: I'm going to go jogging on the beach again in 20 minutes, want to join me like last time?
Kirishima: Sounds good, I'll see you at the beach.
Midoriya put away his phone and stumbled back to his room to get changed into something more suited for working out. He chose a simple pair of sweatpants and an old shirt. After quickly having brushed his teeth he closed the door behind him and walked over to the beach.
When he got to the beach Kirishima was already there. He gave Midoriya a quick wave as he saw him approaching and walked over to his friend.
"Hey man you ready to work out?" He asked as he gave Midoriya a pat on his shoulder.
"Yes I'm ready. Let's go." Midoriya answered, setting the pace.
For a while the two of them jogged in silence next to eachother. However when they had been going for about half an hour Kirishima broke the silence.
"You got any plans for today?" He asked in-between two deep breaths.
"I have plans for the day but nothing in the evening yet. Why do you ask?" Midoriya answered, also trying to keep his breathing as controlled as possible while talking.
"I'm hosting a small party at my house tonight, you should come. You can eat dinner there if you want to." Kirishima said, flashing Midoriya the best smile he could manage while being slightly out of breath.
"Alright I'll go. I probably won't be there for dinner though, I don't think I'll be back by then."
They got back to their starting point and both sat down on the sand next to eachother trying to catch their breath. When they had both calmed down Kirishima once again broke the silence.
"Now that I can talk without breath shortage. What are you doing today?" He asked.
"I'm going shopping with Kendo." Midoriya answered, he thought about what he said for a moment and quickly added. "It's not a date, we're just going shopping as friends."
Kirishima raised an eyebrow and shot him an unbelieving look. "Whatever you say man."
Midoriya arrived at the mall at 1 pm sharp, he looked around but Kendo didn't seem to be there yet so he sat down on a bench and pulled out his notebook. He opened it at the page about Kendo and looked over the information she had helped him fill in, he found himself doing that a lot lately even if he had fully memorized all the information a few days ago already. Like always he got so absorbed in reading his notebook that he didn't even notice Kendo approaching him until she tapped him on the shoulder. He quickly closed his notebook and stood up.
"I'm sorry about that. I always get a little carried away when I'm studying heroes." He said, stuffing away his notebook in his bag.
"You sure you weren't just studying your drawing that perfectly portrays my beauty." Kendo said, flipping her ponytail over her shoulder, tone completely serious.
Midoriya was at a loss for words for a good few seconds before Kendo burst out laughing.
"Oh man, I'm sorry but you should have seen your face." She said, still unable to control her laughter.
When she finally calmed down she shot him another apologetic look. "Ready for the most boring afternoon of clothes shopping of your life?"
"Bring it on." He said jokingly. "I have endured a lot already thanks to Uraraka."
"Are you and Uraraka boyfriend and girlfriend?" She asked, picking up her bag from the ground and slinging it over her shoulder.
Midoriya waved his hands in front of him as a matter of defense. "No we aren't, we're just close friends that's all."
"Oh I see, ready to go then?" She responded and while it could have been his imagination, Midoriya could swear she sounded a little happier after he confirmed Uraraka wasn't his girlfriend.
The first shop Kendo dragged him into wasn't even a clothes store, instead it was a comic store that Midoriya frequented himself. They spend a good half hour just looking at comic books and ended up both buying a few of them. "I didn't know you were interested in comic books." Midoriya said as they left the store.
"Not many people know actually but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go in and buy a few." She said, holding up her bag with comic books to illustrate.
"Who is your favourite hero?" Midoriya asked as they walked into the clothes store Kendo had intended to go to in the first place.
"You know I actually haven't really thought about who my absolute favourite hero is. I bet you for a free meal I can guess yours though." She said, eyes focussed on the All Might charm hanging from his bag while she flipped through the clothing items in the shop.
"That's hardly a challenge." Midoriya said laughing. "I would honestly be surprised if you managed to get it wrong."
Kendo acted like she really had to think about it. "It has to be Eraser Head."
Midoriya laughed. "You just didn't want me to pay for your meal didn't you?"
"It wouldn't be fair after such an easy question, would it?" She said, disappearing back into the changing room.
"I guess that's true." He said, patiently waiting outside outside the changing room.
When she stepped out of the changing room she was dressed in a new jacket, it seemed like a perfect fit to Midoriya.
"What do you think?" She asked, twirling around she he could give his complete opinion.
Midoriya broke into a smile. "I think it looks great on you."
Kendo tried on a few more clothing items but ended up only buying the jacket. As they walked out of the store Kendo checked the time on her phone.
"You want to grab something to eat here or do you have plans?" She asked.
"We can grab something to eat here, you up for pizza? There is a great pizza place here." He said, pointing at a nice looking store.
Kendo smiled. "Pizza sounds great, I haven't had pineapple in a while."
Midoriya just stared at her in horror. "You're not serious right?"
"About what?" Kendo asked, a confused look on her face.
"About wanting pineapple on your pizza ofcourse." Midoriya explained.
"What do you mean? Pineapple on pizza is the absolute best." She said, walking towards the store.
Midoriya put on his best serious expression. "I'm not sure if we can still be friends."
They were still in the middle of their discussion when they walked into the pizza store and only stopped it to quickly place an order before continuing. When they both finished their pizza's, to Midoriya's horror Kendo actually ordered pineapple on her pizza, they slowly made their way out of the mall but not before running into none other than Monoma. When he saw Kendo he walked over and greeted her.
"Hey Kendo, why are you with this guy from class A? He couldn't possibly be your boyfriend right?" He said, paying no attention to Midoriya.
"He isn't my boyfriend but even if he was that would be none of your business Monoma." Kendo said, sounding irritated.
"You shouldn't interact too much with the inferior of the two classes." Monoma said, arrogance dripping from his voice.
"Do I need to knock you out again?" Kendo said, raising her fist to let him know she meant it.
Monoma didn't answer the question, instead he just turned around and walked away as quickly as he could without looking like he was running. Kendo turned to Midoriya. "Sorry about that, he is actually a pretty nice guy if you get to know him a little better. He's obsessed with proofing class B is better though." She said, rolling her eyes.
Midoriya laughed. "I guess we both know a crazy guy."
"I guess we do." Kendo said laughing. "I had a good time today, I guess I'll see you Monday right?"
"Yes, want to do some training after school?" He asked.
"Sure, we'll text about the details. See you later Midoriya!" She said as they split up and both went their own way.
He turned around and gave her a small wave. "See you!"
And that's it for chapter 2. Next chapter Midoriya is finally going to arrive at his party, what could go wrong right? I'm sure Kirishima didn't tell anyone there about Midoriya going shopping with Kendo. Let me know what you think about the length of the chapters, do you guys want longer chapters or is this a good length? Also let me know if there is anything you want these two to do when they are an official couple.
