Chapter 6

Ain't owning shit still.

Also if last chapter wasn't your style then this one may be for you. Leave a review.

Waking up is always a struggle for me and now with the comfortable heat of Mina next to me it proves near impossible.

"Hey, Hamar, we need to get up." Feeling her try to push away I wrap my arms tighter around her.

"No, I don't wanna."

Growling at me Mina starts to push at my face. "We have class today so let me go."

"We're playing hooky." I smile to myself as I use my greater strength to keep her locked down and nuzzle into her neck.

"Let's take a shower at least. I'm still... sticky and it feels gross." Considering her argument I let go and stand up, instantly feeling like I also need a shower. Grabbing my showering things I throw on pants and toss Mina a pair of shorts and a shirt I had laying around. The clothes hanging loosely on her she sighs as she holds the shorts up and walks to the common showers with me following her. As she enters the girls bathroom I sneak behind her at slip into the stall she's in.

"What are you doing?!" Giving me an incredulous look she closes the stall door behind her.

"I'm showering." Squirting soap into a rag I start to wash the evidence of last night's activity off and hand it over to her.

"I swear to God if you get us caught I will end you." Nodding I watch as she cleans herself with the rag. Water slides down her figure, running over her chest and racing past her tone stomach. "Stop staring at me! It's embarrassing." Mina turns away as she washes her hair, very aware of the man behind her.

"It's my job. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I couldn't appreciate my beautiful girlfriend?" Stepping closer I can smell the strawberry scented shampoo as I use my own to wash my hair. Finishing up we sneak back to our separate dorms to get changed for class.

"Alright class today we are going to do something different. Today will be about understanding your quirk and training it." Aizawa leads us to the training facility once everyone changes into their hero costume. Opening the door to a huge area I can't help but stare in awe. About the size of a football field the place has equipment of all kinds made to withstand the abuse of our quirks. As everyone heads off to various things to train I find myself alone. Looking over I see Mina trying to melt a giant block of iron though it's obvious that she is watching me.

Walking around I see a cube with clear walls with cannons pointing inward. Probably for dodging practice. Once I see what they are loaded with I turn it on and walk inside. Standing in the center I briefly hear what sounds like a pitching machine before a steel ball the size of a softball slams into my side. Trying to catch my breath as the wind was knocked out of me another ball comes sailing by, clipping my arm.

"Oh that one is gonna bruise..." I mutter to myself as more balls come flying out the cannons. Each one hits its mark as I hold my ground against the onslaught. Holding on well I start to get confident when one ball connects to my temple and floors me. Laying on the ground I start to get up despite my vision swimming and blood leaking from somewhere in my hair line. It isn't until I stand at my full height do I realize that the cannons have stopped firing. There is only one person who would stop my training like that... Hoping I'm wrong I feel the eyes searing into my skull as I turn around.

"Hey Mina! You uh... done training?" The only response I get is a glare from the shorter girl as she beckons me to follow. Forcing my feet to move forward I trudge after her until we enter one of the changing rooms out of the way. Sitting down on one of the benches I let Mina tend to my wounds in silence.

"How long?"

Opening my eyes I see Mina look solemnly at me, the question hanging in the air as she gently dabs blood from my face.

"How long what?" Mina only sighs at my question.

"How long are we going to do this? You hurting yourself, me scared for you, and then you getting up like there's no problem. I understand it's your quirk and this is how it works but I hate seeing you like this."

Catching onto how her voice is quivering I wrap my arms around her and pull her in close.

"There's a difference between you and me, Mina." She only looks at me confused as I continue. "You are a sword, made to attack and defeat villains. But me? I'm a shield, sure I can hit back but thats not what I'm for. I know that my lifestyle is not conducive to a long life but it's my duty. I can protect others. Things that could kill some just bounce off me. I have a duty to God, family, and country and I'll see it through."

Rocking her back and forth her sniffing turns into a sad laugh.

"Here I am crying and you're the one with the injuries." Lifting her face she looks at me with glistening eyes as a playful grin crosses her lips. "Fine I'll learn to live with your way of life as long as you promise to stick around."

"I don't feel like getting myself killed yet so I think I can live with that. Now since we're alone..." Locking Mina in my lap I kiss her on the lips, the sweat from training mixing with her lipgloss to make an irresistible flavor. Despite the fact that we should be training we could not let go of each other, teenage hormones driving us to hold onto one another for dear life until we realize that it's time to go back.

During the ride back to the campus Mina sighs as she rests her head against my arm. "We are gonna have to train extra later, since we got... distracted today."

Laughing I agree with her and let her rest for the rest of the trip. Looking out the window I let a smile form as I realize that despite one of my major flaws, Mina still stays at my side. I know that there are still other less desirable things about me, but maybe with her help they could be overcome.
