Mina knew it was good to be home. Being at home meant that the weekend was here and she got to see her parents. She never would have thought she would ever miss being nagged by her folks but the saying goes that absence makes your heart go fonder.
"How's it like with me being in school most of the time?" Mina asked, trying to fish for comments about how much they missed her from her parents
"More peaceful" her father Goro deadpanned after taking a sip of his coffee
"Wow...thanks dad…" Mina huffed in annoyance
"Oh, he's just teasing you dear!" Her mother, Makoto assure her daughter that they both missed her very much.
"Aren't you excited to see Midoriya today?" Makoto smiled when she saw her daughter instantly perk up at the mere mention of her boyfriend's name.
"Yeah, Micha went to pick him up a while ago…"
"I'm surprised to see your brother going out of the way to make you happy. He used to hate driving you to school back when you missed the train."
"I'm guessing he's doing this to tease Izu while he's driving, mom"
"I don't think that's It." her dad put his newspaper down to indicate that he was saying something meaningful
"What do you mean, dad?"
"I think Micha feels the same way I do about Midoriya. There's just something about that kid that I can't quite put a finger on. Call it a father's intuition but I believe that Midoriya is special. I mean, not too long back he and the other kids that got expelled from UA helped locate and rescue one of their new classmates from some villains. I mean, look at that initiative!"
"I dunno dad, Izu told me that our friend Iida was the one who helped the cops the most…"
That fact didn't stop Goro from praising Midoriya "That just shows how humble Midoriya is!"
"Dad I swear, sometimes you're too much. When Izu gets here please don't embarrass me!"
"I will make no such promises"
Her mother decided to change the subject "So where are you two kids going on your date?"
"We're going to the arcade. Izu said that he's working on his dance moves to help his fighting and I want to test his skill in DDR"
While Mina parents were embarrassing her Mina's brother, Micha was having a rather pleasant conversation with Izuku while driving.
"How's the new school?"
"I-It's alright...We've been there long enough that Shiketsu feels like "our school". We all made some new friends."
"That's good to hear. You got any new scars?"
Midoriya squeaked in embarrassment. He didn't know what to think of everyone assuming he's going to get massively injured every time he does something.
"N-No, I'm fine"
"Good. I don't want you to worry my annoying sister that much. Got it?"
"Yeah."
Micha became silent for a moment and Midoriya noticed that he looked deep in thought. The older man broke his silence to say something that weighed on him
"...She really likes you, you know…:
"I like her too…"
"No, she really likes you Midoriya. I know how she's like because I'm her big brother. This is how I know she's really worried about some stuff too."
"What is she worried about?"
"With how big you've been getting she's afraid that you'll "pass her by" and find someone who she thinks would be better for you."
Midoriya's heart sank when Micha told him this. He always saw his girlfriend as a stunning beacon of charisma and confidence. Finding out that she felt inadequate compared to him of all people shocked him. Had she been hiding these darker thoughts from him all this time? He just had to make Mina understand just how much she means to him. He knew how bad having self-doubts felt like and he didn't want anyone else to feel like he did back when he didn't have a quirk.
Micha saw the determined look that fell upon Midoriya's face and breathed a sigh of relief. If Midoriya was anything like he thought he was, the kid was probably formulating a plan to make sure his sister knows how much he adored her.
The two arrived in the Ashido household a while later. Micha greeted his parents before bowing out. He had his own friends to hang out with. Makoto Ashido wanted to tease her daughter's boyfriend so she opened up with a line she's been waiting to say ever since her daughter became older enough to date
"So how's my future son in law?"
Midoriya had to fight the urge to collapse in embarrassment "It's good to see you two Mr. and Mrs. Ashido. Do you know where Mina is?"
"Shoot, I thought my "future son in law" greeting would have gotten you."
"She's upstairs in her room. Why don't you go up there and surprise her?"
"Thanks Mr. Ashido."
As Midoriya climbed up the stairs he noticed that his girlfriend's door was open. From what he was observing she was having difficulty picking between two jackets. What was worse is that she was talking to herself. Midoriya never thought she would be the type to mumble like he did. Maybe his studying habits weren't the only things that rubbed off on her?
"Well the pink jacket really goes with the shirt I'm wearing but my shirt already has acid in pink lettering. But wearing the green jacket will make me look like I'm cosplaying as a watermelon so-"
"For what it's worth, I think the pink jacket suits you…" He couldn't help but smile when he saw his girlfriend's face light up when she saw him.
"IZU!" the pink girl wasted no time running up to her boyfriend and enveloped him in a tight hug. After a month of not seeing each other, she was starved for affection. Midoriya took the opportunity to lift her up and spin her around before engaging in passionate kiss.
Mina was so shocked by her boyfriend's forwardness that she didn't register the kiss for a few moments. Once she did she was even more surprised at how much more confident he seemed.
They broke the kiss after what seemed to be an eternity and Mina felt out of breath "W-Where did that come from?"
"It looks like you always bring out the side of me that I never knew I had, Mina" Midoriya was shocked that he wasn't actually lying. Sure, he was doing everything he can to make sure to Mina that he will never "move past her" like she feared but she always did make him just a bit crazier.
Izuku softly ran one of his hands down the smooth skin of her cheek "God, I missed you so much…"
"Yeah...I really missed you too Izu."
"Should we be going? Or do you still need to need to pick a jacket?"
"I'll pick the pink one since you seem to like it."
"I think I'm gonna have to blame you for making pink my favorite color"
Mina responded to his joke by petulantly sticking her tongue. The two scampered downstairs to give Mina's parent's a quick farewell before leaving.
"So, did my brother say anything to embarrass you on your way here?"
"No, he just asked questions about Shiketsu."
"Speaking of Shiketsu, any new updates you want to lay on me?"
"Well Todoroki said that he's certain that Iida has a crush on one of our classmates but I'm not really sure if that's believable…"
"Pfft, who does Todoroki think he has a crush on?"
"The girl that the police rescued, Camie."
"Didn't you say that Iida was the one that gave the cops the right info? Maybe it's like a sort of "rescue romance"?"
"Maybe. But Todoroki kept talking about it and it felt like he wanted me to do something about it. When I asked him why he was so adamant he just said that he felt like he owes Iida after the latter helped him be more confident to ask Yaoyorozu out."
"Did Todoroki ask her out?"
"No, but Todoroki said that he at least knows that she has a crush on him too."
"Yeah, Jirou told me that Yaoyorozu is too nervous to ask him out too. Both of them are pretty bad at being social so I think we should help them."
"What do you think we should do?"
"Maybe we should do something together. Both of them are probably afraid that they would mess up a normal date but if they were around friends then I think they would ease up. We should invite the two of them to hang out. Hell, let's throw in Tsuyu and Kirishima too!"
"You mean like a...triple date?"
"Yeah! Won't that be awesome?"
"It would help break the ice between the two of them…"
"So you like the idea?"
"It's better than any plan I could have come up with."
"An Izuku approved idea? I think I just reached a milestone!"
Midoriya chuckled before wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and whispered "How do you want to celebrate?"
Mina's face became lilac at her boyfriend's brazen display of confidence. She was shocked that her shrinking violet did something so bold. Not wanting to be outdone, Mina turned her head and kissed her boyfriend.
"Maybe we should save all this until after I kick your ass in DDR, Izu?"
Her boyfriend let out an amused sigh before going along with her idea "I think you're gonna be surprised by my skills, Mina"
As the two walked into the arcade they made a beeline for the DDR machines, which thankfully weren't swamped with people. Mina tied her jacket around her waist and started stretching to prepare herself.
"You could still get out of this, Izu" her face adopted a smug smirk
The two began their little dance off slowly, following the prompts on screen. As the game sped up, so did Mina and Izuku. Every now and then, Mina took a fleeting glance at Izuku to see his progress. Halfway through the game, Izuku started busting out these crazy breakdance moves that caused quite a stir around them. Mina took note of his improvised choreography and decided to step up to his silent challenge. Both of them disregarded the prompts on screen and started breakdancing to show each other just how good they really were. Izuku was psyched to show her much he had learned under the tutelage of Gran Torino while Mina was desperate to show Izuku she could keep up with him after all he's been through.
After a dizzying display of dance moves, that crowd that gathered around the two future heroes raucously cheered at their performance. They didn't care that the game technically gave them a bad final score for missing all the inputs. It took the two a moment to notice the whooping and hollering of the crowd and Izuku took advantage of the moment and pulled Mina into another kiss (the third one they have engaged in this evening) which caused the crowd to holler some more.
Right after the kiss ended Mina pulled Izuku close so he could hear her "we need to talk"
Midoriya nodded before following her to a more secluded area of the arcade
"Is anything wrong?"
"Izu, you were being totally bold out there and I want to know what's up."
Midoriya didn't want to tell her that her brother knows she thinks that he's too good for her now but he also didn't want to lie so the green haired cinnamon roll decided to dredge up some pent up anxieties.
"Even though you said that we could still make our relationship work even if we're apart for a long time I still became afraid that once we stop seeing each other daily, you'll realize that you're too good for someone like me…"
She cupped his cheek softly "Oh Izu, why would you think that?"
"B-Because Whenever a good thing happens to me, it's ripped away sooner or later. It's been like this since I was a kid so I just expect it now…" Midoriya wasn't expecting tears to fall down his cheeks but he flashbacked to all the time he'd been bullied before high school and he just couldn't handle it anymore.
"I figured that if I showed you that I was becoming confident that you would still like me…"
Mina let out a melancholic sigh "As long as we're being honest I have to say that I feel the same way…"
"W-What?"
"It seems like every week you're doing another extraordinary thing and becoming more and more famous. I just though sooner or later that you'd realize that you could do much better than a middle of the road party girl like me. I was afraid that all the feelings you have for me was just because I was your first girlfriend and that you'll soon find people that could keep up with you"
"T-That's not true…"
"I know that now but I was just so scared and...God I'm such an idiot"
"Hey, we're both idiots here." He smiled softly to reassure her. "I guess we both have a lot of bad self-esteem issues. But it's alright because we trust each other enough to talk about it, right?"
"Yeah...I guess you're right."
"So, do I still have to be bold and confident?"
"I dunno, even though I do love your regular self the confidence was fun while it lasted…"
"And you should ease up on the excitability. I'm glad that you feel comfortable enough to open up to me"
She smiled "Well you're easy to open up to. For being such a nervous guy, you always know what to say to cheer a gal up! By the way, I liked how generous you were with the kisses. That's the confidence I want to see!" Mina suggestively wiggled her eyebrows as she said this, which caused Midoriya to fluster uncontrollably."
"So Izu, you want to go back to my place and watch a movie? You've only seen the first Alien and the Queen makes her appearance in the second one!"
The color had drained from Midoriya's face, he had nightmares for weeks after watching Alien with his girlfriend and now she wanted to see the sequel?!
"Uh...yeah...that sounds great…"
"Don't worry Izu, Aliens is more of an action movie and I'm sure you'll love it!" Mina did her best to ease her boyfriend's fears. She wasn't lying when she said that Aliens is way less nightmarish than the first one. "Besides, after Aliens we're done with the franchise 'cause everything else afterwards is pretty terrible!"
"O-Okay"
When they arrived to her Mina noticed that her parents weren't home. If they hadn't already planned on just watching a movie, she would have been excited at the prospect of being alone with her boyfriend. Besides, after a day like this she just wanted a relaxing evening with Izuku.
"Hey Izu, I'm gonna put popcorn in can you start the movie?"
"Yeah"
Around five minutes into the movie, Mina did the unthinkable- she yawned. It was only around 8:15 at night, how could she be yawning? A moment later, Izuku yawned as well. She could see how lidded his eyes were, he was struggling to stay awake.
"You know Mina, I think I used all my energy today breakdancing with you. I'm beat…"
"Yeah...I know what you mean...I'm pretty tired too. "She yawned again. This was bad
"Hey Mina...you mind if I…" Izuku trailed off as he lowered his head on his girlfriend's shoulder and drifted to sleep
"God...you're adorab-" she didn't finish her sentence and fell asleep as well.
Izuku awoke to the sound of a coffee-maker. The first thing he noticed was that his neck felt as stiff as a board. Then he realized that he was on a couch with a blanket draped over him. Then it registered to him that the other person on the couch with him was Mina.
Minutes after Izuku woke up, Mina stirred from her slumber as well. She rubbed her eyes to shake off the excess drowsiness and then greeted her companion
"Morning Izu, I had the weirdest dream last night..."
"M-Mina...w-what happened last night?"
"What do you mean Izu- Oh my God." Mina just now realized that they were sitting on her living room couch at seven in the morning.
"It's about time you two woke up" the gruff voice of Mina's father spooked the two."We went shopping for some deck polishing and coatings and we returned to see you two asleep on the couch."
Mina's mom entered the conversation "Yeah, we didn't want to wake you two so your father just put a blanket on you and called it a day. Oh yeah, we couldn't resist taking pictures of you two sleeping because you looked so adorable!"
Mina turned lilac when she heard her mother's words "MOM!"
Her mother ignored her protests and talked to Midoriya "We told your mom you were staying over so she wouldn't be worried. I also sent her a picture of you two sleeping and she really appreciated that!"
"T-Thanks Mrs. Ashido"
"Don't mention it!"
"So what did you want to talk with me about?" Camie wanted to talk to Inasa but she wasn't surprised to see Seiji and Nagamasa as well. She didn't expect to see Todoroki lounging with them as well. Yeah, she knew that Inasa let go of his (admittedly stupid) grudge on the half and half teen but she was still surprised to see him.
"We want to know what your opinion on Iida is"
Camie felt her cheeks heat up "Why do you want to know about all that?"
"It's because Iida told me he has a crush on you" Todoroki spoke up
Camie seemed confused at Todoroki announcement "Are you sure? When we had the party he was like the master of mixed signals. Every time I thought he was hitting on me, he be deflecting shit or changing the subject."
"There's a reason why he kept backing down during the party. He feels like it wouldn't be morally right to ask you out or something"
"Uh, what does that mean?"
"I dunno, when I asked him about his crush on you he said that he couldn't ask you out because he helped rescue you and thinks that you would only go out with him because you would feel like you "owe him". He also said something about taking advantage of a traumatized classmate…"
"OMG, that is too cute!" Camie started gushing at Iida's logic "I thought he wasn't into me or something!"
Seiji, Nagamasa, and Inasa had a similar reaction to Todoroki's words. Inasa especially was awe struck by Iida's resolve. He wiped a tear from his eye "So manly…"
"Alright, that's nice and all but we have to find out a way to let Iida know that you like him because he Iida and not because you owe him or anything."
"Why doesn't Camie just ask him out?" the suggestion came from Seiji who though it was the easiest solution "I mean, if Camie asks him out then that would indicate that she's the one that's interested…"
Todoroki face palmed at Seiji's statement. How had he not thought of something so simple? "Okay, so Camie's gonna ask Iida out...unless she doesn't want to date him of course…"
"Whoa, a minute ago I thought he wasn't into me but now that I know he has a thing for me…"
"So you'll ask him out?"
"...Yeah? That was what I was implying. It's gonna be lit!"
Another week of school came and went at the speed of light. The students of Shiketsu were all busy hanging out in the rec room. Midoriya and Kirishima had an announcement to make but before that, they asked where Nagamasa was.
"He's staying in a hotel this weekend" the answered Seiji
"A hotel? What for?"
"Nagamasa stays in luxury hotels for the weekend to take the edge off of being class rep twice a year. He said that's how he keeps his calm and friendly demeanor. The hotel trips keep the edge off."
Kirishima brushed off that piece of info to say what he wanted to "Me and Midoriya wanted to hang out with our girlfriends and our plans snowballed into something big and now Kendou and Tetsutetsu are joining us too!"
"Kendou and Tetsutetsu are dating?" was Yaoyorozu's immediate response
"Yup, and she wants you to come with us!" Kirishima gave her a pointer finger.
"Sorry, but I don't want to be the single person alone with the couples…"
"That's why you're going to go with Todoroki!" Kirishima's random declaration caused Todoroki, Yaoyorozu and Midoriya to freak out. Inasa, Camie, and Seiji were just confused and Iida chuckled at the hilarity of the situation.
"Kirishima! You can't just ask two people to date! Are you crazy?!" Midoriya shook his friend's shoulders while questioning his intentions.
"Come on Midoriya, everyone knows that those two have a thing for each other! Instead of letting them skirt around the issue because they're too nervous to even talk to each other, I think we should help those two get comfortable together. And being on a date with close friends is the best way for them to break the ice!"
Now Todoroki spoke up "Kirishima is right. I think we're both tired of having dumb crushes on each other from afar. Will you go out on a date with me Yaoyorozu?"
Yaoyorozu felt her face heat up but she wanted to appear confident "This has been a long time coming but yes...I would like to go out with you."
Kirishima pumped his fist in the air "Alright! Okay, how about you, Seiji and Inasa?"
"Sorry bro, me and Seiji are going to a museum to see some sick old stuff today! I bet we'll see the coolest dinosaurs!"
"...It's an art museum, Inasa."
"Oh...Then we're gonna see the coolest paintings!"
Midoriya assured the couple that it was no problem "You don't have to apologize. I mean we invited you the day we were going. So Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, we're heading out to meet them in thirty minutes."
They both nodded in acceptance.
As everyone else left to their romantic destinations, Iida and Camie found themselves alone in the recreation room.
"Hey Iida, wanna go to the mall?"
Not even lifting his head from the book he was reading Iida barely reacted to the sudden request "excuse me?"
"Come on! I saved a ton of money to go shopping and we have nothing better to do!"
"While that sounds appealing, I'm afraid that I am too engrossed in this novel"
Camie frowned in disappointment "Aw man, I was hoping that I could drag someone else. Not really feeling going out alone after what happened to me…"
Upon hearing her reason for asking for his accompaniment, Iida cursed his lack of foresight. He out the down the novel he was and stood up "Allow me to join you. I understand how hesitant you are now and cannot idly stand by with your fears hanging above you."
"Oh no, it's no big deal…"
"Please Camie; you deserve the freedom to go about your life without paranoia haunting you. And besides...I believe that I need to be more sociable. I won't do me good to just bury myself in books."
"Hmm, aight you can come with me. I'm gonna show you how lit the Jakyuu outlet is!"
Iida smirked "I looked forward to your tour!"
The group consisting of four couples was all lounging at a cafe; they all wanted to know what was going on in the two schools. The students that were still in UA were pleased to know that their friends were acclimated to their new environments while the Shiketsu students were concerned about UA's failing reputation.
"How's All Might doing?" Midoriya asked Tsuyu
"It's still weird seeing him so skinny and small, but he's doing everything he can to be a great teacher despite the fact that he can't physically train us anymore."
"That's good to know…"
Kirishima had only one thing on his mind however "Alright, how did you and Kendou become an item, Tetsutetsu?"
"I'm rather curious about your relationship as well. If you don't mind divulging anything of course." Yaoyorozu agreed with his sentiments
Tetsutetsu gave Kendou a look "you want me to tell them, Itsuka?"
"No, I want to tell them the story." She turned her face back towards the others. "It all started when we fought that villain who used gas to incapacitate us. Tetsu and I were the ones that took him down."
"Okay, what does that have to do with anything?" Mina didn't understand what Kendou was talking about.
Kendou's face lowered in sorrow "Well when fought him, Tetsu took some bad hits…"
"I only got shot a couple of times. NBD" it was obvious that Tetsutetsu was trying to lighten the mood.
"Each time he got shot, a piece of me almost died…I started remembering all the moments we had together and I couldn't stand the thought of losing him. That's what drove me to beat that bastard. After we won, I thought that was the end the stress but then I started having nightmares about that battle and in those nightmares...Tetsu didn't make it"
Tetsutetsu gently squeezed her hand to assure her everything was alright as Kendou continued her story. "After a while, Tetsu started noticing my lack of sleep and wanted to talk to me about everything and that is when I confessed. I almost lost him before and I didn't want anything else to happen before I told him my feelings."
"Yeah... I couldn't believe that she was going through that in silence" Tetsutetsu's tone was sullen and grim, a far cry from his usual boisterous self. "I asked her to be with me without hesitation. I mean, why wouldn't I? Itsuka is the coolest person I know and I was honored that she felt that way about someone like me."
"Stop it, you're amazing Tetsu." Kendou realized that she had almost forgotten about the others "Oh...so that's how we ended up together."
"It's good that you two acted on your feelings before it was too late." It was surprising to hear Todoroki talk about relationships "if it weren't for Kirishima then I wouldn't have had the guts to ask Momo out."
"That's right. Thank you Kirishima for getting Shouto and to stop dancing around our feelings."
"Don't sweat it. And besides, it really was insensitive of me to call you two out like that. What if you guys didn't actually like each other. I got work on that."
"Looks like your girlfriend is rubbing off on you too much! Mina teased Kirishima which caused the skin on his cheeks to turn as red as his hair. Tsuyu just laughed at her friend's joke.
"I think we should credit Midoriya and Ashido for our confidence." Kendou suddenly announced
"Why is that?"
"Come on Midoriya, everyone knows how happy you two are together and the two of you couldn't be more different before dating. Now the two of you are helping your other half to be better." Kirishima continued Kendou's statement. "You guys are amazing!"
Iida never really "hung out" in a mall. He told Camie that whenever he went shopping he made a list and tried to get everything as fast as possible. When he informed Camie of his shopping habits she looked at him like he had two heads.
"OMG, that's so weird!"
"Trying to be as efficient as possible is weird?"
"Duh, malls are all about hanging out with your crew! Come on; let me open your eyes!"
Camie grabbed his hand and head him into what he surmised was a cosmetics store. "I'm gonna go look for some swag." While she was gone, Iida took the time to look into some hand sanitizers since the one he was currently owned was currently depleting. Iida was confounded with the various scents that hand sanitizers apparently came in. He wondered why anyone would desire fresh baked cookie scented hand sanitizers.
After looking in vain for a regular scentless variant the engine quirk user settled on a hand sanitizer that boasted having "the scent of five different citrus fruits". It was better than nothing he supposed.
"Oh, you bought something too!" Camie met him again with a small bag in her hand.
"Yes, I purchased a bottle of sanitizer. Did you find anything worthwhile?"
"Yeah, I bought some bomb ass lip gloss! Camie took the time to apply to paint her lips with her purchase and Iida had the fight the urge to simply stare at her luscious lips.
"Mmm, it's strawberry! You wanna try it?"
"E-Excuse me?!" Did Iida hear her right? Camie wiped her hand across her lips before wiping the residue on Iida's lips
"What on earth was that?!"
"Letting you try my lip gloss! Unless you wanted to try it in a different way…" her voice adopted a teasing tone. She knew what she was implying.
"N-No...it's fine…"
"I'm just messing with you. Anyway, let's go somewhere you want to be"
"Well there is a bookstore on the floor above us...Hopefully they have some works by Faulkner."
"Cool, I prefer Hemingway though."
"A fine choice"
"Wait...you're not surprised that I know literary shit?"
"Why would I?"
"It's just...the way I look and the way I talk makes people think that I'm some dumb thot…" Camie realized too late that she was getting way too personal with Iida
"You shouldn't put stock into what those fools assume. I know plenty of people that don't attempt to sound intellectual that are smarter than me. Anyone who judges others on such surface level traits is an idiot."
"Damn...you got no chill!"
"Yes, it seems I have a stunning lack of chill today.
They continued going to various different stores throughout the day. Iida was surprised at how much enjoyment he found just taking it easy with Camie. He was surprised with the amount of people that noticed him and asked for autographs and or pictures. Whenever women asked to take a picture with him he noticed Camie would get a little angry whenever they tried to be as close to him as possible.
"Yo, we should get some things for the summer. It's almost beach season!"
"Isn't it still a little too early to purchase swimwear?"
"Yeah, but if you buy it now then it'll be cheaper than when you buy stuff during the beach season."
Iida conceded her point "Well...that does sound like a pretty good Idea."
"Sweet! Let's try some stuff on and ask each other how we look in them!"
"I don't think we are allowed to parade around in swimwear in this mall…"
"No duh, we'll just text each other pictures of ourselves from the dressing rooms!"
Iida wasn't exactly proud of himself when he found the idea of Camie sending pictures of her in a bikini highly appealing
"A-Alright…"
After picking a plain blue pair of swim trunks to change into Iida's phone buzzed with a text message with a picture attached. There was another text message from Kendou that said "I owe you ¥5,000" but he didn't pay attention to that
Camie: How do I look: D?
Iida took far too long scanning his eyes up and down a picture of Camie striking a pose in a black two piece that showed off her...generous proportions
He informed her that she looked incredibly gorgeous in his eyes and received a warm thank you.
Camie: Now I want to see you!
Camie squealed in delight when her phone buzzed with a message. It was Iida rigidly standing stiff in blue swim trunks and a pair of sunglasses. The first thought that popped in her head was look at those arms, look at those pecs, and holy fuck look at those abs!
Iida : How do I look?
Camie: you look like a snack
Camie: That means you look good, BTW
Iida was happy that Camie found him attractive; it meant that the physical attraction between them was mutual at least. He looked at the photo of Camie in a bikini once more and his finger hovered over the delete button. It would be wrong to keep that picture to ogle at but still he was a teenager…
Camie: BTW, I'm keeping the pic you sent me because… you know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Well since she was keeping the picture he sent her…
The two shoppers turned to the school only to find their friends still absent. Sitting on the couch in the rec room, they reflected on their day
"I'm glad I took up your offer to mingle at the mall"
"Yeah it was pretty lit. You even bought some new books!"
"That is true. What the-"
Before Iida could react, Camie positioned herself on top of him "Camie, what are doing?"
"Todoroki told me about you"
Iida's eyes widened in terror "W-What did he say?"
"He told me how you were crushing hard on me but you're afraid that I don't like you and I'll only date you because I'd owe you."
"Oh…"
"That's stupid because I really think you're cute and every time you talked to me you've been cool as hell. So, what would you say if I asked you to be my boyfriend? Now you don't have to feel like you're taking advantage of me!"
"I'll be honoured to be your boyfriend Camie. But can you please-"
"Good. Now we can make out, right?"
"Excuse me?! Aren't you afraid that we would be moving too fast?"
"I almost died a few weeks back and I don't want something to happen before I do something like this!"
Camie's lips descended onto his and Iida could taste the strawberries from her lip gloss. He gasped at her brazen display of confidence and that allowed Camie to slip her tongue inside of his mouth. All of the rational parts of his mind were screaming that he should stop this at once but to his surprise, Iida found himself returning the kiss. He could go back to being responsible tomorrow, right now he just wanted to enjoy the moment and-
"Holy crap!"
The two of them disengaged from their kiss to see what was going on. It was the other four former UA students that had returned from their get together. This was going to be hard to explain…
Iida saw the smug smirk on Todoroki's face.
