"A-anyways..t-thanks for having me!"

Midoriya bowed a perfect 90 as he stood by the door.

"Yeah yeah whatever, now get lost."

Jirou replied, her hand making a shooing motion.

After the door was closed, she let out a small breath and placed a hand at her chest, but as soon as that happen there was a knock at her door.

"Midoriya, don't tell me you've forgot-"

She opened the door, thinking that he might have forgotten something in her room. Instead, she was greeted by a smiling Mina.

"Hey Kyoka-"

She slammed the door without hesitation, the last thing she needed right now was Mina's teasing, but just at the last second Mina stuck her foot out, stopping the door and injuring her foot in the process.

"Owww..." She clutched her foot and looked sheepishly at Jirou, "you wouldn't happen to have some cream in your room right?"

"What do you want?"

"Jeez Kyoka no need to get mad," she straightened herself, "I'm here to strike a deal."

"A deal?" She raised a single eyebrow.

"Yeah! I promise to keep your little act a secret,"

Jirou let out a small sigh of relief, but quickly tensed up again as she remembered she was making a deal with Mina Ashido.

"But only until you and Midoriya get together!"

"H-huh?" At first glance, Jirou's face was passive, but upon further inspection one could see that she was trying her hardest to surpress her emotions. Her lips were quivering and her earphone jacks were as stiff as sticks.

"D-don't be s-silly!" She waved her arms stiffly, her cheeks slowly turning redder by the moment, "W-why would I d-date that nerd! T-there's no way I would go out with that cute little-" She quickly clamped her hands over her mouth as she realised what she just said.

"Oh?" Mina questioned, a knowing smirk on her face. "Whatever you say, Kyoka. Pretty sure a few weeks later I'll be the one to tell you 'I told you so' ! Till then!" She said as she waved towards the red Jirou and returned to her room.

"T-that bastard!" Jirou muttered as she closed the door, "I don't like him, I don't have a crush on him! I-I like Bean, yeah I have a crush on Bean-"

"Wait that's even worse!"

"Umm... Midoriya?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are we here?"

Jirou questioned as she looked at the giant door in front of her. It's been a week since Midoriya's declaration of helping her overcoming her shyness.

Currently, they were standing at the entrance of Gym S. Rumor said that Present Mic himself once trained in this gym every day to the point that the gym had to be renovated just to accommodate his quirk.

"U-uhh." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, both of them were in their casual wear and he had a guitar slung to his back, "I-I'll explain when we enter."

Jirou raised a single eyebrow at his statement, she still find it hard to believe that the shyest boy in class, besides Koda, was trying to help her overcoming her shyness. But she had no choice but to follow, not because of her growing fondness towards the boy though, definitely not.

As she entered, she couldn't help but observe her surroundings. The gym was built with smooth polished wood wall and mirrors as walls, it's basically like a large ballet room.

She turned to Midoriya, trying to get answers, but he was already at the middle of the gym, messing with what looked like a control panel.

"There we go." He muttered as he pushed a purple button. Immediately walls emerged and covered every inside layers of the gym. Speakers also appeared at every corner.

"W-what's this?" Jirou couldn't help but feel anxious about what's going to happen next. She trust Midoriya, but this looked a little extreme.

"D-don't worry Jirou!", Midoriya reassured her as he plopped onto the ground, retrieving the guitar from his back while motioning for her to sit down opposite him.

Damn, he's more nervous than me. She thought to herself, amused, as she complied. For some reason being around him made her feel... comfortable, but she was definitely not going to say that out loud.

"So, what's this all about?" She asked as she plopped down in front of him.

"W-well, this gym was built to withstand Present Mic's sound waves, s-so I thought it would be ideal for you to practice singing here."

"How did you even got the permission to use this gym?"

"U-umm..." He rubbed the back of his head and gave her a sheepish smile, "I-I told Aizawa Sensei we were going to t-train your quirk,"

She gave him a bewildered look.

"I-I mean, it's half true!" He tried to defend himself, "Overcoming your shyness is one of things we needed to do in order to become a better hero. There are times where one would doubt whether if his or her decisions were correct or not..."

If it wasn't for Jirou's interference Midoriya would have rambled for god knows how long. She now had a small admiration for Iida and Ochako for being able to put up with his mumbling.

"Alright I get it, so how should we start?"

"Huh?" He tilted his head as he looked at her, something which she found cute.

"You mean you've never thought about this before?"

"O-oh!" He snapped back like a jolt, "I-I think we should get you out of your comfort zone first, so we could start by letting you sing some of your favourite songs..."

He's surprisingly good at this. She noted as she listened to his advice. For someone who had trouble conversing on a daily basis, she was shocked to see him actually giving helpful talks on solving her problem. It's like he'd done this before...

"So Jirou, shall we start?"

"Huh? Oh yeah sure."

"I still can't believe that happened..." Jirou muttered, covering her red face as the both of them exited the gym.

"D-don't be like that Jirou...you looked great just now." Midoriya tried to reassure her. What happened was Jirou got a little too into her 'performance' and forgotten that she was singing towards Midoriya. For someone outgoing like Mina it wouldn't be a problem but Jirou was...shy.

"I-its okay Jirou, t-that means you're warming up to me!" He gave her a nervous smile.

Only to you...she thought as she recalled the words Mina said to her last week. She quickly shook her head, denying it.

"S-shut up Izuku! You'll never speak of it again-" she tried to threaten him, but pause when she realised what she had called him. Midoriya noticed too.

"Izuku?" The light blush on her cheeks instantly evoled to tomato red as she struggled to say his name.

"Izuku...Izuku...Izu..." She then looked down shyly, her cheeks still burning as she asked him softly, her earphone jack twirling nervously, "C-can I call you Izu?"

Midoriya's face was burning too, it wasn't helping that he found the current Jirou extremely cute. He could only nod as Jirou slowly looked up, her eyes shined with tears of embarrassment.

"W-well then I-Izu... I'll see you later, thanks for the help!" She barely squeaked as she quickly dashed back to the dorm, leaving a stunned Midoriya still standing there trying to comprehend what had just happened.

"Stupid Jirou, why did you do that!" Jirou scolded herself as she made her way towards her room rapidly.

"What's the rush?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice emerged beside her, making her stop cold in her tracks. Mina Ashido leaned at the doorway, staring at her with a knowing look.

"Judging by the look on your face, something happened right?"

Jirou tried to form words, but was immediately shushed by her.

"Don't worry, I won't pry, I'm sure it's nothing compared to what I witnessed before." Then she said something that sent a sense of dread down her spine.

"But, if you don't make a move soon, I will."

With that being said, Mina returned to her room, leaving Jirou to ponder what she had said.

Don't tell me she...
