Ok so here's Chapter 16 of Death and Beyond
And with this we have our couple which is Izuku x Mina, but their 'date' have a little twist in it in the end.
And I know that this one is short, but I have two reasons for that.
1 I really want to jump to the next arc soon.
2 My aunt is actually in the hospital so I'm pretty much there in the hospital for some time, so I guess there will be a delay on some of the updates of the story,
So anyway enjoy.
If you would have told Izuku ten years ago, that he will tutor someone a girl nonetheless, he would call you a liar and saying it wasn't true for someone like him who is quirkless, while mumbling nonstop at the speed that is still unknown to anyone. But here he is now, with a girl in a park helping her with her studies for the upcoming end of term test.
Now why a park?
Well you see ever since the day of the karaoke and Izuku told Mina that there was a train in her station that she can take, the two were hanging out switching from studying to hanging out. Now on this particular day, earlier they were debating on where to study and where to hangout after. And finally they decided too study at the park and having a picnic, like friends. Now some people will see this as a date if they don't know the people in question, but if you approach them a blushing mess of a person will just deny it and tell them that they were just studying and hanging out as friends, while a pink girl will just deny it or watch the said blushing mess of a person try to explain.
And this is where they are now.
"No-no-no-no-no, g-g-g-g-g-guuuuy-sss, we-re j-j-just ss-ttudying!" said Izuku now blushing that resembles a tomato, while Mina was just watching Izuku with a grin and magenta on her cheeks.
"Oh? well you guys look like you're having a picnic date here." The one that said that was their good old friend and class idiot, Kaminari. "I mean only you two, and a picnic, y'know?"
"N-no! just studying that's all." Izuku chuckled.
"Oh, well see ya guys!" he said walking away, continuing what he was supposed to do before he met the couple.
"Wow, that was a good save, Midori." Mina said with a sly grin. Izuku looked at her and gave her a glare, but this was pretty harmless considering that Izuku was the nicest person in the classroom.
"Th-thanks, f-or the help." He grumbled.
"Happy to help!"
They just continued their study session.
A couple of minutes later it was now nearing 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when decided that enough studying is done. Mina was improving, at first she was having trouble that even Izuku was getting a headache, but he was patient man and he refuse to give up. When he observed Mina he finally found what was wrong and change that. To say that Izuku was impressed was an understatement, he's confident that Mina will go up a rank after the term test, if he remembers correctly Mina is at 19th place, but he's confident that with the studying they done she was improving, slowly but improving.
His thinking was interrupted when he heard a growl. Looking to his left he just saw Mina with a magenta on her cheeks. Izuku just smiled at that.
"Hungry?"
"Shut up."
He chuckled, it was only just a couple of times he was able to tease Mina back. He opened his bag and took out two containers, with Tomomi's help on baking and making sweets just as this, he was able to make two treats for the picnic. Grayham balls and some brownies. Mina looked at them with a smile a small drool on her lips. She then opened hers and brought out two bottles of water and 3 cans of cola.
"Well let's eat! All that studying is making me hungry."
"Of course Ashido-san." He replied but flinch back when he felt something cold on his cheeks. Looking at the said object it was the cola, which was surprisingly cold for being contained in a bag for so long.
"What did I tell you? It's Mina or atleast shorten it to cute nickname!" she pouted.
There was actually no problem with that, he just didn't want to be rude. And being in a first name basis seems to be a bit intimate for him to actually say her first name, so he went for-
"You're mumbling again." Said Mina with a grin, it wasn't annoying for her, it was actually cute, she jus enjoyed cutting his mumbling, this results in her desired effect, to make him eve more cuter, a mumbling/blushing mess.
"So-sorry Ashi-chan"
"No problem. Now let's eat!"
They were eating under the shade of a tree, Mina taking a bite of one of the treats now have stars on her eyes. Izuku enjoyed it too. They were finally finished and now packing up. Exiting the park and now headed to the station to take their own trains home. There was a comfortable silence between the two. But they decided to strike a conversation until they reach their destination, the topic was of course the official couple of the first year of U.A. :Tomomi and Tsuyu.
"I mean they're so cute!"
"Y-yes, they are c-cute."
"I mean you should have seen it! He danced her in the rain when they were on their date!"
"Wait, h-how do you kn-know that?"
"Then they kissed~And it was so romantic!" Mina said excitedly while giggling.
Izuku was just silent, knowing full well that she followed them, she didn't need to answer base by her story it was confirmed by that.
"How about you Midori?"
"Wha?"
He was interrupted when Mina asked a question, surprising him by the sudden question thrown at him.
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" He seemed to hesitate to answer this question, his past was still haunting him to this day and remembering it was just too…painful.
"N-no."
"What? Why not?"
He didn't want to say.
"With a Quirk like yours you could have attracted a lot of attention."
No he did not, he was a noboy.
"Sure it's has a painful drawback, but why?"
Because he was Quirkless.
Mina noticed his silenced, his eyes seems to be looking at ground now. Now she feels guilty, obviously it was a touchy subject yet here she was, trying to push him to answering.
"Hey, uhhh. You don't have to answer, I understand."
"No." He said looking up and meeting her eyes. "It's ok." He looked down again not wanting to meet her eyes at the moment. "I'll just give you the short story."
She nodded now listening intently to him.
"Well I never had a girlfriend, because of a situation I had back then. And that resulted in me….not having, the best reputation."
She was surprised at this, one of the most strongest people in her class, had a bad reputation in his life, she wanted to know, she wanted to comfort him, but decided that she just understand this and calm his mind.
"Ok, thanks for sharing that. But y'know…" She started then walking in front of him she smiled at him "They must have a mental disorder to not notice you this way Izuku. You're one of the best guys I know!" she bumped his shoulders playfully. "So cheer up!"
Izuku stared at her , then just smiled. It was something atleast, it was still painful but he feels fine now.
"A Quirkless like you! Having a crush on me! Ew!"
"You're just a loser Deku!"
"Deku!"
"You don't deserve to be loved! You're just a Deku!"
"Hahahaha!"
It was still painful, but he's fine now. He can push them away. Those were just his past, his painful past. But he need to keep moving forward, and don't mind what they say. But for now.
"Yeah! Thanks Ashi-chan!"
He was fine.
AND THAT'S A WRAP!
Thanks you guys so much for all the follows and favs, I honestly didn't think this would work out this well, I honestly thought this is one of the stories that are pretty much ignored by everybody.
So expect the next chapter to be the next arc. Now…..should the teams be the same for the practical part of the exam? Yes or no? Oh btw we all know that with the added character of Tomomi and Shrio there will be, some short staff members of U.A. Now the problem will be that everybody will have their own team and opponents but as seen in the anime and manga everybody is set on the staff but with Tomomi and Shiro they won't have any opponents at all, the question is who should the last 2 members fight?
I'll try and think of something, but I will also read your suggestions in the reviews and the Pm's.
It doesn't have to be Tomomi and Shiro in the team. It can be Tomomi and Izuku vs. (Hero) or Shiro and Ochaco vs. (Hero) or Tomomi and Shiro vs Midnight and some other team focus on another hero.
I know I'm making little sense right now. So just ask me for questions.
Anyway
Byebye.
