Mina and Izuku had just told each other those three words that change every relationship. After saying I love you to each other the two teens hadn't separated themselves for even a single second. They remained hugging, cuddling, kissing and smiling for nearly half an hour before they were interrupted. Izuku's phone was going off and as he took it out of his pocket he nearly had a heart attack fearing Mina would see that All Might was calling him.
" Um! M-Mina I uh, I gotta take this...C-can I have some privacy? I-if you don't m-mind?" The boy said as he hid the phone's screen from her.
Mina let go of her embrace around the boy and removed herself from the bed before cheerfully saying, " Uh, sure. I'll just go downstairs and get us some drinks then I guess." She headed out the door before saying, " Just call or text me when you're done...I love you!" She smiled and giggled with a visible blush on her face as she started closing the door.
Izuku smiled awkwardly and replied back, " L-love you too Mina!" She closed the door after he had said it back. He let out a sigh thankful that Mina was understanding of him needing to take a call in private and then answered it to speak with All Might. " H-hey there All Might! Is something wrong?"
" Oh? nothing's wrong on my end no. I just wanted to check up on you is all. You haven't been talking to me as much as you usually do. Anything you want to tell me?"
Izuku sighed as he realized he had been so wrapped up in spending all his time with Mina he had somehow forgot to even speak to All Might a lot throughout this week. He had no issue in letting people he was in a relationship with the pink skinned girl at all. It was just the reactions they usually had after he let them know is what made him nervous. His mother cried like a baby as she howled out, " my baby's becoming a man!"
At least All Might if anything, would be rather calm about it right? " W-well there's a reason for that All Might...I've been spending all my time with Mina Ashido lately you see? W-we started dating actually..." he said in his most calm confession of it yet.
All Might chuckled some after hearing the boy's confession, " Yeah I thought you two had become an item. I've seen you holding hands in the halls more than once young Midoriya. I have to say I'm surprised the two of you out of everyone in the class became a pair." Midoriya felt his face heat up a bit learning he had been seen holding hands with Mina by his inspiration and mentor. At least All Might seemed unaware of how the two of them started their relationship with that game.
Before Izuku could speak up again, the former symbol of peace cleared his throat. " Now, I feel the need to ask young Midoriya...um..." All Might's voice became noticeably more awkward, like he felt uncomfortable about what he was about to say. " How...close are the two of you? if you don't mind me asking?"
Izuku had a blush forming on his face. Less than half an hour ago he just told Mina he loved her and she had said it back. Saying they were close right now would be an understatement. " W-well, we're really close I'd say All Might. Really we've been spending just about all our free time together. We do our homework together, study together, eat together, we show each other new shows and songs...and we've gotten a few gifts for each other." As Izuku finished his little rundown of the simpler part of his romantic relationship with the pink skinned girl a very noticeable warm and joy filled tone was in his voice. It was like when he fanboyed out over heroes.
All Might smiled hearing his inheritor had found young love, but his smile vanished as he realized he hadn't gotten the reply he fully hoped. His nervous and awkward tone coming back, " That's good to hear. I'm happy for you Izuku...but, I need to know one thing specifically." He took a long pause before he spoke up again, clearing his throat and drinking some water before finally getting it out, " Are you practicing safe sex or do you plan to?"
Izuku felt himself freeze. Sure he had thought about Mina and him going further physically before but he never really brought it up to anyone and now All Might was asking him about it point blank. All he could do to reply back was make nervous embarrassed gasps for air. All Might let out a sigh after hearing how he had broken the kid, " I know it isn't easy to talk about it kid...but I was once your age, I know how riled up boys can get and you actually live in the same building as Ashido. So...what I'm getting at is its foolish to not be prepared..."
Izuku brought his free hand up to his face and covered his forehead as he took in all of what All Might was saying. He kept trying to say out something but he couldn't think of anything to say. Even if he wasn't a gasping stuttering mess right now he wouldn't know what to say. He had been worried he and Mina might be moving too slow given their situation, but he got so flustered and nervous thinking about them going further than they have already.
All Might took notice of the boy's lack of response and quickly began talking again, " If it's too...uncomfortable for you to buy some...protection young Midoriya; then...I'll gladly run down to a store and get you what you need...okay?"
Izuku felt so conflicted about this all. All Might was making sense. Izuku knew more than anyone how he can just get lost in his lust for the horned girl and how one day they very well could go all the way and their living current conditions made an ideal easy way to do as they pleased in the privacy of their rooms without fear of parents catching them. But at the same time he worried what if someone found the protection in his room or if he misplaces one? Class 1-A had stopped teasing the two about their relationship but if any of them found a condom in the dorms...it'd be obvious to everyone who's it is and it would lead to possibly more rumors about the girl he loved. But if he's as careful as he possibly can be about hiding them, it would never become a problem.
He gulped as he racked his brain. He finally cleared the lump in his throat as he said, " C-c-c-c-can you...c-c-can you...b-buy me a pack of it p-p-please All Might?" the boy said as he tightened his free hand on his shirt, clinging to it like a stress ball. He wasn't able to see his own face but it was currently redder than the proudest soviet Union flag ever was.
All Might sighed some air of relief hearing the boy would be smart about this and take the protection. " Alright then. I'm...glad to hear you're being smart about this Midoriya, I've seen a lot of people's lives be put on hold or just change completely because they weren't smart about this you know...but yeah. I'll run down to a pharmacy later tonight and I guess...drop it off to you after that."
" A-a-alright...th-thank you All Might..." Izuku said slightly calmer now that the subject had seemingly ended. " J-just l-let me know when you're here with...it."
" Yeah, yeah sure thing kid. See ya." All Might said before hanging up the phone.
Izuku let out the longest most embarrassed sigh of his life as he covered his face with his hands. He lightly slapped himself a bit to get him back to normal before texting Mina and letting her know he had finished his phone call.
The two of them enjoyed the rest of their night together. They studied and watched some more of the show Mina had shown him earlier. They called it a night around nine or so and Izuku met up with All Might outside the dorms to get the items they talked all about earlier. Izuku made sure not to take it out of the bag or even look inside the bag until he was in his room. He didn't want anyone else seeing what he had.
As he made it to his room he quickly shut his door and locked it before placing his bag on his bed to inspect it. He let out a nervous sigh as his shaky hand reached into it. As he grabbed hold of a box, taking it out he investigated every inch of it, he asked himself, " D-did he really have to buy a box with thirty of them in it?" He walked over to his clothes cabinet and placed it in the same drawer as his underwear, a place he knew no one would bother checking if they were in his room.
He felt a lot more at ease now that the condom box was out of the way from where anyone could see it. He actually felt like he could sleep now, as soon as he stopped shaking and his heartbeat calmed down. After changing into his All Might pajamas and getting under his covers his phone started going off again. He checked it out and saw his mother had texted. She was asking if it would be alright if she dropped by tomorrow. She wanted to meet Mina and take the two of them out for lunch.
Izuku didn't see any harm about this. His mom had been asking him about Mina every day since he told her they were dating and she seemed eager to get to know her. He agreed and hoped his mom wouldn't make a scene or find a way to embarrass him in front of Mina.
Izuku and Mina stood together holding hands by a subway stop waiting for the boy's mother to arrive. They were both dressed much nicer than usual, Izuku wore a nicer jacket his mother had bought for him earlier in the year, brown with a few pockets throughout itself. He left it unzipped so the dress up shirt he wore underneath could be visible and his outfit was completed with his tan khaki pants and his rather plain looking tennis shoes.
Mina was wearing black dress pants and a comfy looking black sweater with stylish white strips going down it throughout. She couldn't help but smile as they waited, " I can't believe I'm about to meet your mom Izuku! If she's even half as nice as you've said she is then she's already one of the nicest people I've met!" She said as she snuggled the side of her face onto his, causing a small blush on the boy.
" Y-yeah you don't have to worry about her being nice. She's really looking forward to meeting you too you know."
Mina just giggled lightly at the response before lighting up as another subway car came in for a stop. " Izuku I bet she's in this one!"
Izuku shrugged, " I dunno, she never told me what train number she was tak-"
As the door's came open a short chunny woman with green hair came running out with tears in her eyes and quickly wrapped her arms around the freckled boy, " Izuku! Oh it's been too long!" She said as tears started coming down her face and hitting the ground like a faucet in a sink. After hugging the boy tightly she turned and spotted the pink skinned girl she had come to meet. She let go of her son and wiped her eyes, seemingly inspecting the girl as she continued crying, " You're Mina Ashido yes?" She said hopefully.
Mina giggled as she reached over and straightened up Izuku as he recovered from the monster hug he had received, " Yep! I'm Izuku's girlfriend! It's so awesome to meet you Ms Midoriya!" She said as she smiled brightly at the older woman.
Ms Midoriya started sniffling as she held back tears. She took out her phone and started taking pictures of the two before muffling out, " My baby boy is dating a beautiful hero in training!" Izuku rubbed the back of his neck and looked away blushing.
" M-mom you don't need to take pictures of us you know? "
Mina waved her hand in a casual manner, " Aw come on Izuku. Let her have her fun."
After taking a few more pictures of the two of them, asking them to hold hands, smile, and hug each other for the sake of the photo Ms Midoriya smiled with teary eyes and asked, " Alright...so who wants to eat now?"
The three of them ended up going to the same place Izuku and Mina had ate at during their first date. seemed to have a hard time reading the menu but Mina had eaten there so many times she was able to just explain what everything was off of memory alone. As they waited for their food Mina excused herself to the restroom.
The bathrooms were way in the back of the restaurant, it was quite a walk just to get to a toilet. After taking care of it and exiting the restroom she headed back toward her booth before being stopped by a large man that seemed familiar. " You're Mina Ashido right? "
Mina paused and blinked at the large man, having to cock her head up just to see his face, " Yeah why?"
The towering figure leaned down some to look her in the eyes. He had noticeably green eyeballs, no irises and no pupils. Just green eyeballs. he was fully bald all over his face too, didn't even have any peach fuzz or eyebrows, or even eyelashes. " I'm Chikara. You may have seen me before, I'm a second year student at U.A. I think we should talk real quick."
Mina was rather confused why a second year student would just approach her like this let alone why he would even want to talk with her. " Um, I'm sort of with people right now so I'd rather not. Maybe tomorrow at school though if it's important?"
Chikara shook his head side to side, " No by tomorrow we won't have time. Look I'm trying to help you here. My class has to pair up tomorrow and fight all of you class 1-A guys for a class project. It's just a simple project for us but it's like a big test grade for you."
Mina rose an eyebrow about this, she wanted to hear about this now. " Why are you telling me about this though? I mean I appreciate the heads up but it's not like you have anything to gain by telling me dude."
Chikara smirked some as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, " Oh no, I do have something I can get out of this. So do you." Mina still wasn't sure what he was getting at. " See, me and my friends already know who we're going up against out of your class. Me and my buddy Shirudo get to go against you and Midoriya. Now, I can ensure to you right now that you win. We'll both make it look like we put a good enough fight to get a decent grade for ourselves and then let you two overwhelm us so you can get a really good score and look cool in front of your friends. But Shirudo and I need something back from you if we do this."
Mina was just starting to get more and more confused as he went on. Why would someone in the hero course purposefully throw a match even if it was in exchange for something? She didn't even know of anything she or Izuku could give to these guys they couldn't get themselves, and she didn't even like the idea of winning by what was basically cheating. " I'm not really interested but I do want to know what I'd have to give you two for throwing the match. I'm pretty confused about all this really."
Chikara rolled his solid green eyes before speaking again, " Look. Word got around to our class too alright? We know what you got caught doing. So, if you do a little more than that for me and my friend you'll get the best grade of your life. How's it sound? We'll even make sure you have fun with it too. You could have us both at once if ya want, hows that sound?"
Mina's heartbeat started beating like a war drum as her hands turned into fists and her face turned into a deep scowl. This creep was asking her to essentially sell herself for a good grade? She wanted to toss some acid at him right now and watch him cry from the pain and burns but she knew there would be far too many repercussions to that. So instead she grabbed the drink Chikara had on his table and tossed it all in his face, " Fuck off creep!" She shouted as she stomped back to her own table.
Chikara groaned as he cleaned himself before yelling back at her, " You'll be sorry! Now we're gonna make sure the two of you get real hurt tomorrow!" Mina gave him the finger as she kept on walking back toward Izuku and his mother, not looking back at the green eyed student.
When she finally got back she plopped down and was visibly still angry. Izuku looked worried and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, " Mina are you okay? You look upset."
Mina turned to him and saw how caring and concerned he looked. She knew she had to tell him about what just went down, but his mother was right there. For once Mina actually felt uncomfortable speaking what was on her mind. " It's...I don't want to say it out loud." She took her phone out and sent a text to Izuku explaining everything.
Ms Midoriya looked at the two worried with no clue what was going on.
Izuku soon got the text and began reading it in silence. Ms Midoriya cleared her throat as she noticed Izuku's face becoming visibly angry. " Izuku honey? What's wrong?"
Izuku placed his phone down and reached for his glass of soda. His hands were shaking and he drank in a heavy and fast manner gripping the glass tight before it actually started cracking a bit. He set it back down and wiped his mouth before turning to Mina with his face still visibly in a state of rage. " Where is he?"
Mina gulped hard seeing him like this. She had seen him mad before but not like this. He looked about as angry as Bakugo was when he first saw Izuku use his quirk. He wanted to hurt Chikara right now she thought. He doesn't want to wait for tomorrow for their mock battle. Mina quickly grabbed his hands and it was her turn to be worried, " Izuku...I-I can tell how you're feeling. Please don't do anything rash that you'll regret!"
Izuku then stood up and started turning his head to different angles looking around the restaurant for the green eyed sleeze before being pulled back down by Mina. " Izuku please! If you do anything right now you could get expelled!" She started actually tearing up seeing him get worked up like this. She loved it when he defended her from Monoma but he never seemed like he was planning on doing anything to physically hurt the boy, but now he just felt like using a Detroit smash on Chikara for what he said to Mina.
Ms Midoriya started crying soon too, still unaware of anything going on. " What?! What do you mean he c-c-could get expelled?! Izuku what are you going to do?!"
Izuku shut his eyes and brought his hands under his legs, resting on them before he started taking deep breathes. " I'm not doing anything..." he said finally. " Not right now...you're right Mina, I could get kicked out of school if I...if I did what I want to do to that creep." Ms Midoriya gasped as she brought a hand over her mouth, her little baby boy was planning on hurting someone with his quirk wasn't he?
Mina wrapped a gentle hug around him and began petting his hair trying to help him calm down. Izuku let out a few more deep breathes before stating, " Besides...if I did something to him right now I may not have as much time or freedom to do more to him in the mock battle tomorrow." He said with a huge note of malice in his voice.
After he calmed down more, Mina explained to Ms Midoriya how, " Some creep said some awful things to me." not wanting to go into the details of it. They tried their best to move ahead after that and enjoyed their meal together, Mina and Ms Midorya going back and forth asking the other questions. " Okay, I bet Izuku dressed as All Might every single Halloween didn't he?"
Ms Midoriya laughed lightly as she nodded her head. They finished their lunch and Izuku's mother paid for the three of them. Afterwards they all returned to the dorms, Ms Midoriya insisting Izuku show her around. He got a few light teasing remarks about his mom being with him but they were all in good spirit and meant no ill will to the boy. Ms Midoriya tried to say hello to Bakugp when they were in the kitchen and Bakugo promptly responded, " Bite me cow." before going to the elevators.
This caused Izuku's mother to tear up a little bit as her son and Mina both quickly tried to reassure her that Bakugo was just meant to everyone. But none of her tears actually made it down her face this time, " That's the first time he's ever said anything back to me in years! He used to ignore me whenever I said hi but he actually spoke back this time!" She then hugged Izuku and smiled brightly with shut eyes, " This school must be doing such wonders for everyone here!"
After showing her everything the building had available for all the students Ms Midoriya insisted on seeing Izuku's room. He figured why not and the three of them took the elevator and were all inside his room in no time. Ms Midoriya smiled as she walked around the room teary eyed once again, " It's so much bigger than it looks in the pictures you've sent me Izuku!"
Mina giggled seeing her reaction to all of this, " Ya know Ms Midoriya I was wondering. Is this even half of Izuku's All Might stuff? I bet he has a loads more back home right?"
Ms Midoriya started laughing some and Izuku made a deadpan look. " Oh this is almost close to half of it! All his All Might comics and his PJ's from when he was younger are still back in his room! He did bring just about all his All Might clothes though!" She quickly grabbed held of one of the drawers of his cabinet and Izuku could feel his heart jump up into his throat. She was opening his underwear drawer, where he had hidden his box of condoms. " I bet I can find at least four pairs of All Might under wear in here!"
" MOM NO! PLEASE NO!" Izuku yelled as he rushed over with his hands up motioning for her to stop. " I-I don't want Mina seeing my underwear okay?!"
Mina and Ms Midoriya both started giggling, Mina because she had already seen the boy in his boxers and even a few All Might boxers too. Ms Midoriya was just laughing at his reaction to this, " Come on now Izuku. It's just underwear! Everyone wears it no need to get so flustered." She then opened the drawer and Izuku dropped to his knees as he covered his face with his arms and hands. His mother was laughing a little as the top pair sure enough was an All Might pair of boxers, and then she noticed the box next to it and went dead silent.
Mina noticed she was just staring at the drawer with wide eyes and shrinked pupils and walked over wondering if anything was wrong. " Is something going on that I don't get?" She said as she stood next to her boyfriend's mother and looked down at Izuku who was still on his knees covering his face. She then turned her head and focused her sight on where Ms Midoriya was just staring at and a heavy, large lilac blush covered the pink girl's entire face. " Oh..."
Ms Midoriya then turned around and just started walking out the door, " It was nice meeting you Mina...I'm glad Izuku found you...Izuku please stay safe" she said as she started crying as she left the two of them, closing the door behind them.
Izuku uncovered his eyes and looked up, his eyes full of shame as he looked at Mina who was now holding the box and inspecting it. " I...I didn't want you or a-a-anyone to see those...I h-have them for just in c-case we e-e-e-e-end up...you know..."
Mina still blushing crouched down so she could be at eye level with Izuku. " I...I'm not mad or upset with you Izuku if you're thinking that." She said in what actually sounded like a bit of a shy tone for her. " I...I actually have something like this too."
Izuku uncovered his face, his blush now on full display as he looked at her with his mouth agape, " huh?"
Mina grabbed the boy's left hand and the two of them stood up together. Now standing, Mina looked down to the floor and had a shy smile on her face. " W-well...you see once I told my parents about us, my mom thought it'd be a good idea to send me...some condoms" She then brought her eyes to rest on his, she giggled a bit at their awkward situation, " I would have told you but I didn't want you to think I was going to rush us into something we might not be ready for."
Izuku gulped as he returned eye contact, he gripped harder onto the hand he held of hers, " I don't want to do anything you're uncomfortable doing Mina." he told her, " I didn't even buy these!" he said as he tapped on the box of condoms she held in her hand, " Someone else got them for me, said they wanted to make sure if...if I was going to...you know, with you then I should be safe. I actually just got them last night too. That's what my phone call was all about."
Mina giggled some more, " So...we're both prepared for when we go all the way then huh?"
" Y-yeah I suppose so..." he said quickly and nervously as he looked away.
Mina took a step closer and placed a quick light kiss on his cheek, " Maybe sometime...soonish we can put one of these things to use?"
Izuku turned to her as his blush became far more intense than before. He noticed how Mina was still blushing and was twirling her hair in a nervous pattern as she looked at him with a shy smile. Izuku returned a shy, nervous and clumsy looking smile of his own as he said, " M-maybe we can...after we beat those second year guys tomorrow? As a...a way to celebrate?" He made a hard audible gulp after asking that.
Mina looked down real quick, her lilac blush deepening before she looked back up and smiled, " O-okay! Tomorrow then! To celebrate kicking those assholes into the dirt!"
