As Mina and Izuku stepped out into the common room to leave for their date, Mina turned to her right to see Kaminari, Jirou, Tooru, and Sero all watching some action movie. Jirou makes eye contact with Mina and gave a small smile. The friendly smile then turned into a mischievous one when she saw that not only was Mina dressed up, but so was Izuku.

"Well, where are you two love birds up to?" She said with a little bit of snide in her voice. This caused everyone to turn and look at the two heroes in training. Usually when someone calls out the two on one of their dates Izuku gets a little nervous about getting caught as he doesn't like blaring his relationship out in the open like Mina does. Much to her surprise, and the rest of them, Izuku turned to them with a toothy grin.

"Mina and I are heading out for a little bit," he answered. "Do you honestly see me wearing this outfit anywhere unless it's a special occasion?" Midoriya motioned at his entire body to emphasize the point. Neither of them were expecting the response from Kaminari though. The blonde boy whistled as he saw Izuku's get-up

"I won't lie Midoriya," he started. "With you dressed like that you're kind of making me question my sexuality." In Mina's peripherals she saw a feint blush on her boyfriend's face which made her smile. Usually when someone would comment something like that he would turn into a blushing mess and fumble his words. Now he just laughed it off with a small blush on his face. She was proud of him if she was being honest. It was kind of a nice change.

"Hey if things don't work out with Mina you can ask this idiot out," Jirou said as she nudged Kaminari. "You heard the guy apparently he'd go gay for you."

"Yeah come one Midori, ask him out!" Tooru cheered on. Mina decided to join in the teasing and stuck her arm in front of Midoriya.

"Uh uh," she said. "You had your chance a long time before we started dating." Mina grabbed Izuku's hand and intertwined it with hers. "So if you'll excuse us, we have a little date to go on." With that the two took their leave. As they did Sero looked over at Kaminari.

"Would you actually go gay for Midoriya?" he asked with genuine curiosity. Kaminari put his hand to his lip and hummed slightly.

"I don't know, maybe?" was the blonde's answer.

"That's a little vague isn't it?" Jirou asked. Kaminari just shrugged his shoulders and Jirou rolled her eyes. "Whatever." With that the group went back to watching the TV.

The two heroes in training were giggling when they walked out of the dorm. They still hand their hands intertwined with each other and continued to walk to the club the two of them were going to. As they did, Mina nudged her elbow into Izuku's which caused the green haired boy to look at her.

"Since you brought it up in there, why don't you wear this more often?" Mina plucked at Izuku's dress shirt as she asked that. Izuku scratched the back of his head and chuckled nervously.

"I don't like dress clothes to be honest," Izuku said. "Even the school uniforms I somewhat dislike."

"How come?"

"They constrict movement so if a villain attacks or something you can't fight efficiently." Mina sighed. Of course the first thing that came to his head would be heroics when it came to this kind of thing. She had to admit, while she liked heroics, there was point where his obsession got on her nerves a bit. Still, she couldn't deny that he had a lot of passion put in it and she couldn't blame him for that. "Not only that I kind of hate how tight some of the clothes have to be. I can barely pull my arm across my chest in this thing."

To illustrate his point Izuku tried to stretch his free arm across his chest but is stopped halfway so he wouldn't rip his sleeve. Mina giggled at the little motion. She wrapped her other arm around Izuku's so that she was hugging his arm.

"I can see where you're coming from. Besides…" she massaged his arm a little bit. "It's tight in all the right places." Mina was expecting her boyfriend to tense up. Maybe even cause his stutter to come back and have him pull away from her a little bit. Much to Mina's surprise, and to be honest, slight disappointment, Izuku was calm and smiled back at Mina.

"Thanks Mina," he said with a sweet tone. Mina felt heat rush to her cheeks and she turned away from him.

"Damn him and his sweetness…" she thought. She'll admit, Izuku never usually recovered that quickly. Now it was as if he was behaving like a normal guy. It was both satisfying and kind of saddening since Izuku was anything but normal.

Still she would be lying if she said she wasn't having fun. Having Izuku not only be more proud of being on a date with her but not get embarrassed every time she flirted with him was a nice change of pace. Yet there was this nagging thought in the back of her mind that made it seem like something was missing.

"Are you okay?" Izuku asked Mina. She nodded her head and smiled at the green haired boy.

"I'm fine just thinking." He was satisfied with this answer and flashed her a small smile. The two walked with their hands intertwined for a few minutes when Mina spoke up again. "So where are you taking me dancing tonight my broccoli haired friend?"

"You'll see when we get there." Mina began to pout and when he saw this he chuckled and booped her nose. "Nice try Mina, but that won't work on me." He pushed her nose playfully, causing Mina to groan a little and rub her nose with her free hand.

"Please Izu?" The pink skinned girl batted her eyelashes and got very close to Izuku's face. It was a surefire way to get a reaction out of the boy. Again, he surprised her by placing his forehead on hers with a smile on his lips. Mina goes lilac again at Izuku's boldness.

However he backed off and, with the same smile, said "No." With that the two walked in silence again. While it wasn't comfortable silence, it wasn't uncomfortable either. Still having a bolder Izuku was nice, but that nagging thought came back to her again. What was missing from here?

"Well, we're here," Izuku's voice got Mina to look up to see a familiar looking club. It was the first one that they tried to dance in a while ago. Mina got flashbacks from that day. How happy she was that Izuku was trying something new with her. How fun it was to argue whether or not to get food or dance first.

Then there was when the group of guys came over and taunted her. How they trapped her in the booth. How they insulted her, told her she was nothing but a… she wasn't going to repeat the word. Mina more than likely would have found a way to make them leave, but the way they cornered her and kept pushing for her to dance with one of them , insulted her, it was all a little too sudden.

She began to shudder at that memory. As she did, she felt Izuku squeeze her hand a little tighter. "Are you okay?" She looked into the green worried eyes that belonged to him. "If you're uncomfortable we can go somewhere else. It's just I don't know that many clubs like you do." Mina shook her head and grinned.

"It's fine. I just hope it won't end badly like last time."

"Well don't jinx it for us then!" Mina softly pushed Izuku with her arm.

"Who are you to call me a jinx? You're a literal villain magnet!" The freckled boy poked her cheek.

"You can't blame me for that. Our entire class is a villain magnet!"

"I can blame you for anything I want!"

The two began to go to their playful arguments. From afar it would almost look like a real argument. However with Mina being her playfully and silly self and Izuku's willingness to go along with it, the conversations often end very weirdly. There was one time the teasing started with which movie genre was better, and it ended up with something about what would win in a fight, a three headed dinosaur or robotic Bigfoot.

Neither of them would admit it, but these fun arguments were one of their favorite parts of the relationship, just for different reasons. Mina juts liked getting under Izuku's skin and seeing him argue his points was very cute. Izuku liked the arguments because it was fun to see how far the two of them could weave the argument to the dumbest thing possible. Also seeing Mina pout when Izuku had a solid argument was a rare thing to see and it made his heart flutter every time.

The couple finally reached the entrance of the club and Mina decided to finish up the conversation. "…and that's why I believe Thirteen is actually an alien in disguise." Izuku could only give her a deadpan stare. She had a reasonable argument… but the theory was way too insane to be taken seriously.

The heroes-in-training entered the club and the sensory overload hit both of them at the same time. Due to this being Mina's scene she recovered quickly. She remembered how Izuku reacted the first time though and looked at him. Again, he surprised her with the fact that he was smiling. Compared to the muttering, shaking, and not looking like he was going to pass out like last time, this was a big improvement. Mina felt a sense of pride and happiness swell into her chest.

"Let's find a place to sit, I'm kind of hungry." Mina nodded in agreement and the two tried to find an open spot. It was pretty crowded since it was a weekend night. Mina thought she saw a table and tried to grab Izuku's attention.

"Hey Izu I found a-"

"Found a booth!" Izuku said as he pointed in another direction. She looked over and saw that he was right. He began to walk over ad she followed. She was a little upset that he talked over her but just the fact that they had a table was enough for here to forgive him.

A waiter came over a few minutes after they sat down. He handed the two a menu and went to grab their drinks. Izuku was having water while Mina was having some kind of soda.

"I can't decide what I want…" Mina grumbled. "It all just looks so good!"

"Why not just order what you did last time?" Izuku asked peering over his menu. Mina cocked an eyebrow at her boyfriend.

"I can't remember what I ordered last time. All I can think about is…"

She didn't finish that sentence but Izuku was able to decipher what she was talking about. He set his menu down and gently rubbed her hand.

"Hey it's okay," he started. "I promise you it won't happen again. I won't leave you alone this time." The pink skinned girl looked at their hands and then into his eyes and smiled. She then began to giggle. "What? What's so funny?" Mina waved her hand.

"Nothing. It's just this reminds me of our first date, you know? Just a little role reversal." Izuku made that cute thinking face he makes when he's trying to remember something. It took him a minute to answer her back.

"I don't remember." Mina playfully smacked him in the arm.

"How can you not remember?" Izuku chuckled nervously and shrugged. Mina sighs but had a smile on her face. "Well I do."

Izuku was nervous. No nervous wasn't the right word. Izuku was terrified for today. He had to make sure everything was perfect. This was his first date in… ever. Okay, maybe he and Uraraka tried dating each other a few times but it was either too awkward, or the feeling just felt a little too… weird is probably the right word.

After the third time they tried it, the two of them agreed that it wouldn't work out. However the two still remained best friends, yet them as a couple was way too uncomfortable for both of them. They figured the little crushes on each other were just a temporary thing and a week after the third date it turned out to be true. Neither of them blushed around the other or got embarrassed and, if anything, it hardened their friendship as the two of them seemed more comfortable around each other and less reserved. Still, the way he felt at those was nothing compared to now.

Back then he was a little anxious sure, but here? It wasn't just nervous or scared. He could have sworn he felt full blown fear. He had asked his mom if he looked all right, put on way too much deodorant, brushed his teeth three times before he left, gelled his hair so it wasn't its usual curly mess, and even watched the All Might debut video to help calm his nerves. He wore a forest green shirt with a black button –up that was unbuttoned. He wore dark blue jeans and grey sneakers.

The day wasn't that hot but Izuku already felt like he sweat buckets, but that was just his imagination. He had no idea how he got into this situation. He and Mina really only ever talked at their study sessions and the rare occurrences whenever she would sit at his table for lunch. Than just a couple of days ago she asks him out on a date!

Izuku couldn't say no to her, especially with her being very close to him as she asked him. Although if Izuku was being truthful, a small part of him actually wanted to go on this date. He's always been jealous of how Mina can just be a social butterfly in any situation, and he was somewhat attracted to it too. Having her join his study group from time to time didn't help things either.

"Oh man," he groaned. "Does my breath stink? Am I too formal? Too casual? Why did I agree with this? Why is it whenever a cute girl is nice to me, I all of a sudden have feelings for them? Is she going to stand me up? AmIgoingtottakethelead? Willshe? whatifIaminthewrongspotandshefjtuancmkbityuewamcj…" He once again began to mumble as his thoughts ran wild. He was so caught up in his mumbling he didn't notice a distinct pink girl walk up to him.

It took Mina poking his arm to get him to stop mumbling and look at her. She was wearing a black dress with tiny frills at the edges. Her short sleeves had slits in them to reveal her pink shoulders a little bit. She wore black leggings and had black heels. Her hair was her natural curliness and she had this perfume that smelled like mints.

"She looks really cute," Was the first thought that came to Izuku's mind. As that thought processed, the fact that he could smell Mina and that she was right next to him did as well, and made him go beet red. Luckily it was Mina who started the conversation.

"Hey Midori!" She exclaimed. She let out a chipper laugh. "It was a good thing you were mumbling, I almost didn't recognize ya if it wasn't for your iconic mutter." Izuku tried to calm his heartbeat byt taking deep slow breaths.

"What do y-y-you mean?" He asked. She pointed to the slicked gel-filled hair on top of his head.

"I'm saying without your curls you look so different. In fact…" She stood on her toes and roughly ran her hand through Izuku's hair. Izuku blushed like crazy as she did because, not only was a girl touching his hair, but it actually felt good and Izuku was not comfortable with that thought. When Mina was done she flashed a wide grin. "There! Now we're curly buddies again!"

The One-For-All inheritor ran his finger through his hair to find what she said was true. Her wiping something on her leg only justified that theory. "W-why did you do that?" He asked flustered. Mina just shrugged her shoulders.

"I dunno, I guess you look so weird without your curls that I had to change it back." She gave him a playful wink as she said her next sentence. "Besides I think you look cuter with the curls."

If Izuku thought he was blushing before, that was nothing compared to now. He felt the steam rise off of his face and covered his arms around it to hide from the embarrassment. Mina giggled at Izuku's expense.

"Well come on let's find this restaurant you were talking about!" With that Mina started the date. Once Izuku took a couple of deep calming breaths he tried to start a conversation with his pink skinned date.

"N-nice weather we've been having, right A-Ashido?" When Mina turned to look at him Izuku 's head began to think he said something wrong. "Why would I start a conversation like that?! Will she think I'm dumb? Will she―"

"I'll say!" She answered, cutting Izuku from his thoughts. "Although I hear it's going to rain in a couple days. I'm not looking forward to that." Izuku was shocked that Mina answered his stupid icebreaker at all. Yet she somehow answered it and was able to keep the conversation rolling. Izuku knew he couldn't be the one to make it awkward, mainly for his sake, so he kept talking.

"I actually l-like the rain," Mina turned to him and quirked an eyebrow which caused Izuku to fumble with his words. "I-I-I mean there's s-something intriguing about nature's p-power, ya know?"

"Huh… I never thought of it like that." She playfully punched him in the arm which caused him to flinch. "Thanks for opening my eyes Midori!" Izuku chuckled nervously. "So where's this restaurant you're taking me?"

"It's a little bit of a walk. I-I hope that isn't too much trouble." Mina waved her hand side to side.

"Nah it's cool. Gives us more time to talk about junk and stuff." The two laughed lightly as they continued their walk. Mina led most of the conversation, giving long sentences and switching the subject whenever she felt it dragged on for too long. Izuku often responded with short quick answers, but slowly became more open. As they finally reached the restaurant, the two finished up their conversation.

"…but yeah I think Kirishima would do something that dumb," Mina said. Izuku chuckled lightly and scratched the back of his head. He wasn't one to talk about his friends behind their backs, but it did seem like something the red haired student would do. Mina looked up at the sign of the restaurant and had a small smile on her face. "This place doesn't look too bad Midori."

"T-thanks." Izuku saw Mina flashing him a soft smile which made him look at the ground. However he felt a shy smile creep on his lips as well.

"Well don't just sit there, come on lets go in!" Mina grabbed Izuku's arm and practically dragged him inside. Despite the suddenness of it, Izuku still had that smile on his face, even if he was blushing like crazy.

The waiter found them a booth to sit at and handed them menus. As the two looked over the menus, Izuku would sneak peaks at Mina. Every time he did he mentally scorned himself. He always found Mina to be… outgoing was the best word. Her pink skin made you look her way and her fun personality made it so you remembered her.

However, when the two started to get to know each other, Izuku noticed a couple of things about her. For instance, despite her eyes being pitch black, sans the yellow irises, she always had this shine to them. It was more apparent whenever she was happy or excited. Another thing he noticed was her smile. Whether it was a big toothy grin or a subtle but sweet one, her smile always seemed to make him smile.

Izuku was shaken from his thoughts when he heard Mina giggle. "What are you staring at?" she asked. "See something you like?" She gave him a playful wink and Izuku realized that throughout his entire thought process, he never took his eyes off her. He covers his face with his menu and Squeaked in embarrassment. This caused Mina to giggle again.

"S-S-S-Sorry A-Ashido…" Izuku said. However his mind was scorning him.

"You idiot! Why would you stare? Just because you're out with a cute girl doesn't give you the right to do that!" Little did Izuku know that he muttered that last part loud enough for Mina to hear. Mina felt her heart flutter as she said that and hid a shy smile behind her menu, the same way Izuku was.

"He thinks I'm cute?"

Eventually the waiter came back with their drinks and the two were ready to order. Izuku got a Katsudon meal while Mina decided on a curry one. With their orders in place and their drinks ready the two were alone with each other and a small silence filled their table. Izuku fidgeted uncomfortably at the silence. Mina noticed this and was about to start a conversation, but someone called her name.

"Ashido? Mina Ashido?" the voice called. Mina looked around to find a familiar face walking towards her. She smiles and stands up opening her arms for a hug.

"Hakana! How are you?" the two girls hug each other and as they did Izuku looked at what he assumed was an old friend of Mina's. She was a light skinned long haired blonde. She seemed just as perky as Mina.

The two of them began chatting up and from what Izuku could pick up the two of them seemed to be friends in elementary and middle school. As the two began to talk Izuku saw that shine in Mina's eyes. He looked down and gave a sad smile.

"I'm pretty sure she'd rather catch up with her friend then finish this thing with me…" He didn't know why that thought hurt so much. Maybe it was because he was actually trying? Maybe because he thought he was doing okay? Who knows? As he saw the two converse for what felt like an hour, he pulled out his wallet and placed a bunch of yen on the table to pay for both of their meal and stood up. Before he even took one step away he heard someone call him.

"Yo Midori where're you going?" He turned to see that Hakana was waving goodbye and Mina was doing the same. Mina then turned to Izuku and had a concerned look in her eyes. He sighs and looks at the ground.

"I just figured you would rather catch up with your old friend then continue this… thing with me." Mina saw that look in his eye. It was the look of someone filled with self-doubt and a little bit of self-loathing, the same look Kirishima had occasionally when they were in middle school together. Mina put her hand on the green haired teens shoulder and gave it a soft squeeze.

"Dude, you asked me out right?" Izuku tensed up, most likely out of embarrassment if the tiny blush on his face was anything to go on. "And I said yes to this date, right?" he nodded his head but still looked at the ground. "I wouldn't have said yes to this if I didn't intend to see it through. Hakana saw that we were hanging out and just wanted to say 'hi', that's all. I won't leave Midoriya." Despite all of the conviction in her voice it didn't seem to shake him from his funk. So she tried her plan B.

"Or do you see me as someone who can be that harsh?" Izuku looked up and into her yellow irises and began to wave his hands back and forth.

"N-no of course not! You're one of the kindest, nicest, prettiest and most heroic people I know! I-I could never see you like that!" Mina grinned. Her theory was correct. She assumed that since he was willing to take breaking his own bones and was pretty much the most selfless person in the class that he would stick up for her, even if she bad mouths herself. Not only did she seem to change his mind, but she was able to get fuel for some teasing.

"You think I'm pretty?" She tilted her head and rose and eyebrow to give herself a curious look. As if on cue Izuku began to stutter like crazy and look everywhere except her. She giggled lightly and sat bac down in the both and motioned for him to sit. "Well you can tell me what you think makes me pretty while we wait for our food yeah?"

It was at that moment Izuku finally knew what Mina was trying to do, and it made his heart flutter even more. She was trying to make him comfortable. Well, at the vry least trying to make it so that the date didn't end early. Despite still being unable to look directly at her, he sat down and was able to grow a slight smile. Knowing he still had to answer her question he gulped and said the first thing that popped into his head.

"W-Well… I think your dark eyes are one of the p-p-prettiest things a-about you…" Mina smiles and got a tiny lilac blush on her face.

"Thanks Midori," she said still grinning. "Well since you complimented me, I think it's only fair that I tell you something that I find cute on you."

"O-oh you don't have to―!"

"Too late!" she held up her pointer finger to silence him, which did with surprising results. Mina stares at him for a good minute causing the young boy to squirm a little. She finally smiles and nods her head. "Yep. It's definitely the freckles." She pointed at her own cheeks to emphasize the point.

"M-My freckles?" Mina nodded her head.

"Yep! They're like little tiny cutie marks on your cheeks. Plus whenever you're red they stand out more and make you even cuter." Izuku blushed at the comment and Mina giggled and pointed at him. "Yeah like that!" Mina giggled and Izuku felt himself to start to laugh as well.

"…and then after that the rest of the date just seemed to go by too fast you know?" the two laughed as they remembered the day that kickstarted their relationship. "Seriously though, how do you not remember that? I'm… I'm actually kind of sad you forgot." Mina looked into her glass with a sumber look on her face. Izuku gently touched his shoe to her leg to grab her attention. She looked at him and saw that he was regretting something

"Hey, I'm sorry I don't remember the details of it." he gave her a soft but genuine smile. "All I remember is how much fun it was, and how happy I was to be with you."

Mina felt fuzziness warm up in her chest and a smile on creep on her face. They were simple words yet they always impacted Mina this way. She couldn't help it. Maybe it was how he always had a smile on his face when he said it or maybe it was because he sounded so sincere or maybe it was both but she always felt nice whenever he did.

The two continued to look through the menus a little bit and Mina ogled a shrimp tempura. As she told Izuku what she wanted though, he hummed slightly and said something that threw her off guard. "Nope," he said with an upbeat tone.

"No?" Mina repeated.

"Nope. I don't think we should get a full meal right now." Izuku peered over his menu. "After all we don't want to end up like Aoyama when he uses his quirk too much. Especially when we're out there dancing."

Mina put up a finger to protest but quickly deflated when she realized that he was right. Although it would be hilarious if they start doing the stomach cramp dance, she also knew it would be very embarrassing for both of them if that happened.

"So… what should we get?" she asked. The two looked at the appetizer list and listed off any that sounded good.

As they waiter came back to take their order Mina was about to tell him that they needed more time. However Izuku cut her off just as she was about to say something.

"We'll take the Yakitori skewers," The Waiter took it down and said he would be back with their food soon. When he was done Mina quirked her eyebrow at the green haired boy. While she liked that he was being a little more confident and taking a bit of a lead throughout the date that was a bit of a dick move. Izuku must have realized this and coughed into his hand nervously.

"Sorry, that was rude of me," Mina couldn't stay mad at him for too long. He was giving her those cute adorkable puppy eyes.

"It's fine." The two were silent for a little bit before Izuku started a conversation.

"Hey Mina?" She hummed to let him know she was listening. "I've been wondering, what made you start to like dancing in the first place?" The pink skinned girl chuckled. She knew exactly when she loved dancing.

"When I was young my family and I went to America for a little vacation."

"How was it?"

"Fun. We went to amusement parks, carnivals, zoos, and they had a bunch of arcades. However one night in a hotel I saw a dance show that caught my eye. It was called So You Think You Can Dance?. I saw how much fun and effort the dancers put into their routines that it made start to dance with them. When my older sis saw me she made fun of me, but nothing could get rid of the smile on my face. I asked my parents if I could download some more seasons of the show and they said yes. Ever since then I've been learning how to dance by watching those and other videos online."

Izuku looked into his hands with his thinking face for a moment and then started to laugh. Mina felt a small blush appear. She pretty much just gushed out the one thing she's kind of a geek for and he was laughing. "W-w-whats so funny?" Izuku put his hands up.

"Nothing. I'm just trying to imagine a younger you dancing like she has no idea what's she's doing." Izuku did something that Mina never expected from him. He flashed a cocky smile. "It's kind of cute." Mina felt herself blush again and she covered her head with her arms.

"So this is what it's like to be on the receiving end…" Mina thought. She had to admit she was proud that he was able to make her blush. But again there was that nagging thought that something was missing.

After recovering the two continued their conversations as they usually do. A little of Izuku gushing about hero work here, and Mina's random conversation starters there, and the two just continue to have a good time.

Eventually the food they ordered reached them and they started to eat a little bit. Mina had to admit the food was really good! Greasy and pretty bad for her health, but still really tasty. Izuku seemed to think so too as Mina noticed he was eating with a smile. However, Mina noticed something about the smile. Dating for six months Mina was able to tell when Izuku was forcing a smile. While that wasn't the case here, it also seemed like it wasn't his normal cheery smile either. It looked just a little bit nervous but that didn't seem quite right.

The two finished their first skewers and chatted some more. However, once Mina was going to reach for another one, Izuku pulled money from his wallet and placed it one the table, grabbed her hand and practically dragged her out of the seat. She looked up to see a new fire in his eyes, but there was also that small nervousness in them still. "Come on! I think the dance floor's getting full!"

"Izu wait!" Mina's pleas fell onto deaf ears. She at least wanted to finish the food they ordered first. "Izuku can you just hang on for a second?" Again nothing. "Midoriya let go!" Mina yanked her hand away. When she did that, it stopped him in his tracks. She stared him dead in the eyes as she did so. She felt something bubbling inside her so she took a deep breath to calm herself down. "I just… I got to use the bathroom real quick okay?"

She saw that fire in his eyes waver a little until there was nothing. "I…" She saw him gulp down some saliva and nodded his head. "All right, I'll… I'll be at the table." The two walked away from each other, both with a sickening feeling in their body.

With Mina

She leaned over one of the sinks in the club bathroom and sighed. She filled her hands with water and splashed some on her face, as if it was a way to cool her down. Was she too harsh on him? Sure she didn't yell at him but at the same time she wasn't exactly quiet when she pulled away.

At the same time, she felt it was necessary. The moment he didn't let her finish her food something snapped. It was that same nagging feeling she had since the beginning of the date. What was causing her to feel that way? Midoriya was being more confident so why wasn't she enjoying it?

That was when it hit her. It was because he was more confident. Well, more like he was being too confident to the point it was controlling. He didn't let her talk when she found a seat, she didn't get to ask for more time and ordered for her, and he didn't even let her finish the food. He essentially took control of the date. Which to say wasn't a bad thing, but she still wanted to be a part of it.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She wasn't going to take the sidelines on this. She's Mina Ashido! All she needs to do is throw a curveball into Izuku's plan. Unfortunately her usual flirting proved to be ineffective. Still, she could think on her feet, and she just had to find the one thing to make Izuku turn back into that adorable blushing mess of his. She remembered how he was still slightly nervous about going on the dance floor. She grew a mischievious smile. She knew just how to make him his adorable mess again. Not to mention, get her dance with him to happen at the same time.

With Izuku

Izuku took a sip from his water and stared down at the table. Guilt was eating at him from the inside. Seeing Mina look so hurt made him feel like a complete jackass. He didn't mean to do that to her. After all, he was only doing what the magazine said. So why did it turn out like this?

You see, Izuku overheard Mina talking with Tsuyu and Momo one day that made him think he was being a horrible boyfriend. He still remembers the words she said to her friends.

Izuku grabbed a bag of chips from the common room's cupboard. He was studying in his room but he needed to have a snack break. Even he needed time to rest every now and then. As he was walking back to his dorm he heard the front door open and looked back to see Mina, Tsuyu and Momo walking through talking. He smiled as he saw his girlfriend and was going to say hi. The three of them didn't seem to notice him as they all walked pass him and into the common room. Just before Izuku turned the corner he heard Mina say something that stopped him dead in his tracks.

"He's just too shy and nervous," she said. Izuku was literally right around the corner as she said that. "At times it feels like he's embarrassed that I'm dating him ya'know? Like when we hold hands and he won't even look at me it feels like he wants to break it off."

"What?" Izuku thought. He wasn't embarrassed that Mina was his girlfriend! It's just that at times he had no idea how to act when she would show affection and become a blushing mess. She was his first girlfriend, so a lot of this stuff was new to him.

With a new passion he headed back to his room. He'll find a way to make so Mina didn't feel like that. He'll just have to find some dating tips online or in a magazine or something. As he left though he didn't hear the rest of the conversation.

"Well, do you still like him?" Momo asked the pink skinned girl. "From the sounds of it you don't seem to enjoy you're moments together." Mina shook her head.

"Nah I still like him," Mina said. "I'm just ranting. Besides I like the dork because he's like that. It's so fun to get a reaction out of him whenever I kiss him or something." Mina poked her cheek. "Especially since the redness in his cheeks bring out his cute freckles."

"Besides, Midoriya gets embarrassed around any girl," Tsuyu pointed out. "He's just a nervous person that's all ribbit." Mina pointed at Tsuyu as a sign of agreement.

"Which is why I can't exactly get mad at the guy." The two girls looked over at the vice president of the class. She was mumbling in her hand and had a confused look on her face.

"I don't get it, you say that his shyness is bad, and yet you still find it charming in some way?" she asked the pink skinned girl. Mina looked up at the ceiling to think for a second. She then shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah pretty much." Momo just sighed.

"Relationships are weird…" Mina giggled.

"Especially mine, but I love him for it!"

Ever since then he was trying to find sites or articles for tips on how to be less shy on dates. He found an article in a magazine that was titled How to be Cool and Confident on A Date. The first thing the article said was to dress nicely, but to not go overboard, hence the whole dress shirt and vest combo he was rocking. The article said it would make you feel more in charge and semi relaxed and Izuku would be lying if it didn't work.

The next thing the article said was to flirt with your date, something that Izuku was not good at. Luckily it had some tips to help him out. Again, it all had to stem from him not being a shy nervous bumbling idiot. He saw it work wonders when Mina was blushing and smiling at him. He had to admit though, it was hard for him to say all of that without stuttering. Not to mention he had to try and stay calm whenever she held onto him and sweet talked him back.

The final tip was to take the lead during the date. That was why he kept where they were going a secret, sat down at the booth he found despite hearing Mina say she found a table, ordered for both of them, and finally lead her to the dance floor. Truth be told, he wanted to get the actual dancing here done with as soon as possible.

He knew he would have to take the lead the minute they started to dance and he didn't want people looking at him as he did. He knew his confidence would break the minute someone looked at them. Of course, now his confidence was low because of how Mina looked at him.

She was looking for him to be more confident right? So why did she look so hurt when she pulled away from him?

"Am I going about this wrong?" Izuku asked himself. He wouldn't be able to answer that because as soon as he thought that he felt someone tug on his arm and practically drag him to his feet. All of a sudden he felt to arms go around his neck and saw was staring into the black and yellow eyes of Mina. He felt himself to begin to sweat buckets.

"H-hey Mina," he said. Mina had a sly smile on her face.

"Hey," She said in a sultry voice. Izuku felt his knees shake. He gulped to try and calm himself down. In the back of his mind however, he knew something was up. "So are you going to stare in my eyes all day or are we going to go dance?"

"I… uh…" Izuku was then pulled by Mina. Despite not looking behind her she seemed to maneuver her way through the crowd and onto the dance floor with ease. All of a sudden Izuku found both of them in the middle of the dance floor and Mina stepping away from him.

Izuku felt the bass vibrate through the air as a new song begin to play. Mina nodded her head to the beat as it slowly increased in tempo. She then began to sway side to side and eventually the rest of her body began to move with the rhythm of the music.

When the beat dropped, Mina flashed a grin at Izuku and grabbed his arm. All of a sudden Izuku found himself spinning a little bit until he felt hands go on his shoulders to stop him. He looks at Mina who still had the sly smile on her face but was moving her hips to the beat, and was practically on him while she did so.

Izuku could feel his face light up as she did so. However Izuku could feel himself to start to move to the beat as well, and felt a smile creep up on his face. Mina stepped away from him to let him get in the groove while she danced to the music. Izuku just felt himself slowly groove to the music, almost without a care in the world.

Just as Izuku was getting into it though, his eyes laid upon four similar faces, all of whom were laughing. It was the guys who insulted Mina, only now they weren't insulting her. They were laughing at him. Izuku's eyes shrunk and he stopped dancing. He looked around and all of a sudden everyone was staring at him, judging.

"That's dancing?"

"Is he dancing or having a stroke?"

"What a loser!"

"Worthless."

"Garbage."

Izuku's breathing began to increase, almost to the point of hyperventilating. He wanted, no, needed to get out of there.

Mina just finished an extravagant move and wanted to see if Izuku saw her and was hopefully starting to get into it. However she saw neither a dancing or happy Izuku. Instead, she saw the guy practically running away from the dance floor. Mina stopped moving immediately and practically went into shock.

Izuku just ditched her.

She shook her head. "That can't be what happened!" She knew Izuku wouldn't leave her unless he had a very good reason. She looked around to see what could cause him to run away like that. However, no one was staring at them, there didn't seem to be anyone they knew in the building, no villains attacking the place, nothing. He just left.

Mina finally just processed what happened, and slowly left the dance floor and went back to the table. She knew there had to be a reason for him to leave. There always was! He wouldn't just leave like that, right?!

"So why am I repeating it?" She mumbled. She was hoping that all he did was return to the table and they could talk it out. To her surprise and dismay, Izuku actually left the club. She made sure to look everywhere, she could and to no avail. Deep down though, she knew he made a bee-line for the exit. She just didn't want to believe it.

Mina felt something bubling inside her. She had no idea what it was, but she knew it was going to stay with her the rest of the night. She also knew that whatever it was, it wasn't good. She looked at the ground with a scowl on her face, and marched out of the club.

Special thanks to 12 Angry Men, and Cort for a little bit of criticism to try nd help me improve. Hopefully I did. Anyway I'll talk to you guys in the next chapter.
