Chapter 2:
Some Cursed Time Spent (Part:1)
After MgRonalds
Izuku and the girls were leaving MgRonalds after a great meal despite the cheap nature of fast food. Sadou and Chiho had made the group feel welcome and even chatted with them for a bit. The group had unanimously decided they would be going back sometime soon.
As they were walking, Momo on Izuku's right arm and Rika on his left with Ochako and Mina behind on either side of them Izuku decided to speak up.
"That was pretty good." Izuku stated. "Despite being fast food, I mean." The curse user added in afterthought.
"It was, but it definitely isn't where you would take them for dates." Momo added with a sly smile, causing the mentioned girls to blush in embarrassment.
Mina smiled at the support from Momo. The pink teen was definitely interested in Izuku and was wondering if she could, in fact, get a date with the muscular verdette. 'He probably thinks I look weird, though. I mean between my skin, my eyes, and my horns. I look like an alien.' Mina thought about the causes of the bullying she went through as a child.
"I'd be glad to take them somewhere nicer for sure." Izuku responded without thinking. To be fair, he was a bit tired, and with a full stomach and two beautiful girls on his arms, he was more or less just responding to anything said to him totally honestly. Not that he'd lie about something like that to begin with.
Ochako and Mina came to a halt in shock upon hearing the green haired hunk's reply. They both knew he was a polygamist, and both had a crush on him. The fact that he was so straightforward about wanting to take them out was still shocking.
Mina was shocked because she thought Izuku would have no interest in her due to her looks. She knew she had a great personality and a rocking body, but her looks were where her insecurities lied.
Ochako was shocked because she had thought that Izuku wouldn't want to pursue a relationship with her due to having such beautiful women like Momo and Rika with him already. She also thought her goal of giving her parents an easy life would dissuade him as well, given how she would most likely give them most of her money.
"They're both beautiful, and to be honest, they deserve a guy they won't have to share." Izuku stated.
"I don't mind sharing!" Both girls shouted at once while blushing heavily.
The trio of lovers came to an abrupt halt at hearing the shout from the two young women. They turned around and faced the two.
Rika was smiling widely as she looked up to Izuku. "Go ahead. Ask them out properly, Izu-kun." Rika told her lover.
"Rika is right, Izu-kun. You can't just say that and not ask them out now." Momo stated.
Izuku smiled softly and left his fiancés to walk up to the other two girls. "If you really mean that, then I would be happy to take you both on a few dates and see where things lead us." Izuku told the two blushing beauties.
Surprisingly Ochako was the first one to speak. "That sounds nice. I really want to get to know you better and spend some time alone with you to see if we could work." The brunette said while smiling.
Hearing Ochako speak gave Mina the strength to do so herself. "Are you sure? I mean, even I'll admit I look a bit freakish." Mina asked self-consciously.
Izuku simply smiled and pulled Mina into a warm hug. "Of course. To me you're not freakish. If anything, to me, you look like an exotic beauty. Your skin is like cherry blossoms in summer. Your eyes are like stars shining in the night sky. Then there are your horns. They add a sense of uniqueness that no simple hairstyle could hope to match." Izuku told Mina honestly. He then released Mina and hugged Ochako. "You are beautiful in your own right too. Your round face is super cute, especially with that permanent blush on your cheeks. Your brown hair that reminds me of a sweet milk chocolate. Lastly your goal to give your parents an easy life with your money from being a pro. I think that is both selfless and makes you a genuinely great daughter." Izuku told the brunette.
Both girls couldn't believe what Izuku had told them. He had complimented everything they were insecure about all at once while hugging them in an embrace that felt so warm they wanted to melt into him.
When he released Ochako, both girls tackled him into a hug with a shout of "Izu-kun!". This caused the verdette to fall on his ass with both girls snuggling into him.
Momo and Rika smiled at the display. They both really liked Mina and Ochako already and could definitely see that the girls liked Izuku. After thinking for a moment, Momo decided to throw them a bone. "Izu-kun, escort Mina-chan and Ochako-chan home. Rika-chan and I will meet you at our home when you're done." Momo told her love before turning and walking away with Rika by her side.
Izuku regained his bearings just in time to hear what Momo had told him. She was clearly giving him the go ahead to persue a relationship with both girls and while he had just met them today he couldn't deny that he wanted to get to know them better and spend more time with them. Standing and consequently bringing the girls with him, he offered them each an arm.
"Shall we?" Izuku asked in a fancy tone.
"We shall." Mina replied in her best fancy person impression as she linked her left arm with his right.
"Of course, good sir." Ochako followed with the joke as she linked her right arm with his left.
The trio continued talking as they followed Mina's directions to her apartment that she was sharing with her best friend and his boyfriend. The closer they got to their destination, the more Izuku got a bad feeling in his gut. When they reached the building, the bad feeling was proven correct. It was his old apartment building.
There was only one person he knew who lived in that building right now. Katsuki Bakugo. The thought of his once best friend turned bully made Izuku on edge, but he tried not to let it show.
"I used to live here." Izuku pointed out as they ascended the stairs to the exact floor he once lived on.
"In this building?" Mina asked as they approached the door to her shared apartment.
"In this exact apartment, to be precise." Izuku stated as he saw Mina put her key into the lock.
"My best friend's boyfriend said it belongs to his aunt, and she's letting us stay here rent-free as long as we pay the utilities and wifi." Mina informed her verdette crush.
Izuku thought back and realized his mom had been letting a family friend stay here, but she never told him who it was. "What's his na-" Izuku was cut off by the sound of a plate shattering on the floor and looked up to see none other than Katsuki Bakugo. "Katsuki?!" Izuku shouted in confusion and a bit of anger.
"What the hell are you doing here, Deku?!" Katsuki shouted in rage and shock.
That was when another male voice caught everyone's attention. "He's bringing Mina home. Why else would he be here, Babe?" A muscular red head said as he made his appearance from around the corner. "Come in and make yourselves at home. I know Kacchan needs to talk to you, and I'm not letting you leave until you both settle this bullshit."
"Kiri, we've talked about this already you can -" Mina was cut off by Kiri.
"Yeah, and I said they need to hash things out like men. If Kacchan can't confront his best friend, then he and I have no real future." Kiri stated stubbornly.
Izuku quirked an eyebrow at that and looked to Katsuki. "You told me you hated that name. What changed?"
Katsuki glared at Izuku. "You said we'd be best friends forever, but now you act like you hate me. What changed that?" Came Katsuki's snarled reply.
Kiri decided it best to usher everyone inside since the sun was setting, and he didn't want to disturb the neighbors. "Come in, now."
Izuku started to, but stopped and pulled out his phone. This got questioning looks from everyone. "If I'm going to explain everything, I need Momo and Rika here too. This isn't just my secret to tell." Izuku told them while sending a text to Momo.
Katsuki bristled at the mention of Momo. "Ever since you met that spoiled princess, you became a totally different person! She's why you moved away! She's why you shut me out! She's why you weren't there when Mom miscarried four years ago, and I had to deal with the depression of losing my baby sister all alone for two years until Kiri-kun reached out to me!" Katsuki shouted in a tearful rage.
Izuku was at first angry that Katsuki was running down his fiancé, but when he heard about Aunt Mitsuki having a miscarriage his anger disappeared and was replaced with shock. 'If I had known Aunt Mitsuki was having complications, I could have done something! Why didn't Mom tell me?!' Izuku thought as he walked inside and hugged Katsuki tightly. "I'm sorry." He said.
Everyone was shocked at what Izuku had just done, none more so than Katsuki himself. He tentatively returned the hug and responded. "I was just trying to protect you. I know now that I went too far. I should have comforted you when you were diagnosed quirkless, but instead, I pushed you away. I broke our promise first by being an ass. You just let it stay broken." Katsuki lamented.
"That's only partially what I'm apologizing for." Izuku said in a barely audible whisper.
"What else is there?" Katsuki asked in confusion, still hugging the one guy that meant more to him than Kiri.
"If I had known Aunt Mitsuki was having complications, I could have saved the baby." Izuku said sorrowful about his lack of knowledge.
This genuinely confused Katsuki. "What do you mean? You don't have a healing quirk, let alone one strong enough for that." Katsuki told the friend he was hopefully getting back.
Tears leaked from Izuku's eyes at this point. "Reverse Cursed Technique is an ability that I have. It can even revive the recently deceased given certain parameters are met. I knew a guy who used it to save himself from a bullet through the head. I've used it to regrow people's organs and limbs myself, too." Izuku informed through his silent tears.
Part of Katsuki wanted to call Izuku a liar, but given what he saw when they were five and what he heard about his performance in the practical exam, he knew it was true. "You didn't know, Deku. You would have helped if you knew, but you didn't. Mom didn't even tell Auntie until after it had already happened. She's a stubborn hag that never accepts help unless she's forced to." Katsuki consoled his friend.
At hearing the name Deku again, Izuku decided to voice his feelings on it. "If you're going to call me Deku, at least mean it the same way Momo-chan does." Izuku stated while putting Katsuki at arms length.
Katsuki smiled at that. Izuku was far from useless. He's the strongest guy he knows, after all. "Of course. Just promise to call me Kacchan from now on." Katsuki told Izuku with a genuine smile, which Izuku returned.
"Okay, Kacchan." Izuku replied.
That was when someone made her presence known. "While I was skeptical about how genuine you were being initially, I can tell you truly want to mend your broken friendship with Izu-kun." The two turned to see Momo and Rika standing just inside the apartment. "Now, I think it's time we told all of you the whole truth." Momo stated while making her way to the couch to get comfortable.
The rest of the group sat down on the couches or recliners and got comfortable as Izuku and Momo told them everything about their lives as Yuta Okotsu and Maki Zenin, including who and what Rika is. When their story was told and over, they asked if anyone had any questions.
"You're still Izuku Midoriya, but you're also Yuta Okotsu, too. That explains the sudden personality shift. What I wanna know is why you even told us to begin with. It isn't like you couldn't have just told Kacchan and kept it between the four of you." Kirishima stated a bit confused.
"I'm taking Mina-chan and Ochako-chan out to see if we could possibly have a relationship. It was partially to tell them, so they know who I really am and let them know what they're getting into. You, on the other hand, are Kacchan's boyfriend, and I don't think him keeping a secret this big from you would be healthy for your relationship." Izuku informed the red head.
"When are we going on that date, by the way?" Mina asked, now even more excited to spend some one on one time with such an amazing guy.
"Does the day after tomorrow sound good? I have to finish a personal project tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd take you out then." Izuku responded with a smile.
Mina smiled widely. "Sounds great! I have a bit of shopping to do before our date anyway." Mina agreed.
Izuku, Momo, Rika, and Ochako got up to leave and made their way to the door when Mina ran up to Izuku and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. "Pick me up at six sharp and remember nothing too fancy. Okay?" Mina asked.
"Okay." Izuku then hugged Mina. "Good night, my Alien Queen." Izuku told her.
Mina knew he was being sweet by turning her insecurities into something positive, and if she was his Alien Queen she'd give him an appropriate pet name too. She returned the hug and said. "Good night, my Cursed King." Before she let go and ran to her room with a happy squeal.
"I've never seen Mina so happy before." Kirishima said with a toothy smile. "You better treat her right, Deku. She's my best friend and practically my sister, so never make her cry." Kirishima told the curse user in a serious tone.
"The only tears she will ever shed because of me, are happy ones. I promise, Kiri." Izuku responded seriously.
"Glad to hear it." Kirishima said, giving Deku a thumbs up before closing the door.
"Take Ochako-chan home and then head home right after. Rika-chan and I still need our Izu-kun time for the night." Momo said before flying off in Rika's arms.
Turning to Ochako, Izuku held out his arm once more. "Shall we?" He asked politely.
Ochako smiled at Izuku's gentlemanly gesture and took his arm, wedging it in the valley of her impressive breasts. "Yer darn, right!" Ochako happily exclaimed before clamping her mouth shut in shock. She didn't mean to let her accent slip out like that! Looking to Izuku, she could see him smiling softly at her.
"You don't need to hide your accent." He said, shocking the brunette. "I actually think it's really cute." He admitted, still smiling at her.
Ochako blushed brightly but held Izuku's arm a bit tighter. "Thank you, Izu-kun." She thanked the verdette. He was so genuine and made her heart flutter at his every compliment. She could tell she was already falling for him and hard at that.
"When we have our date, I'm taking you to somewhere nice. Mo-chan will be taking you shopping for a dress. I'm paying for everything, so don't worry about the price. I've made a lot of money by healing rich friends and associates of Momo's family, not to mention the modeling I've done, and I mainly use it to spoil my girls." Izuku told Ochako in a kind tone.
"But I'm not your girl yet." Ochako stated factually.
Izuku chuckled a bit at that. "True, but I want you to be. I don't just treat every girl I come across like this." Izuku informed Ochako with a caring smile.
"Why me, though?" The gravity negater asked.
"I can see that you're special. You love your parents so much that even as a pro hero you would live with the bare minimum to let them have an easy life. That tells me you are willing to put yourself out to help others. I look for qualities like that in my lovers. Plus you're so bubbly and upbeat that it makes me want to smile from just being around you. You're also quite beautiful, but thats more of a bonus than anything." Izuku elaborated for the brunette country girl.
Ochako blushed atomic red at the way Izuku had complimented her for what felt like the millionth time tonight. She burried her face in his shoulder to attempt to hide her blush, but the squeal she let out gave away how happy she was.
The duo continued to chat and as they got closer to Ochako's apartment Izuku realized once more he knew where they were going.
"Do you live in the Dagobah Municipal Beach Apartments by any chance?" Izuku asked.
"Yep. I moved in a couple of days ago." Ochako said with a smile.
"You haven't heard anything strange since moving in have you?" Izuku asked in a bit of embarrassment.
Ochako thought about it for a moment before responding. "There's a lot of banging coming from the apartment above mine at night." Ochako said, which caused Izuku to blush more. Taking note of the verdette curse user's blush, Ochako had to ask. "That was you, Momo-chan, and Rika-chan wasn't it?" Ochako asked while blushing atomic red at what she now understood.
Izuku was blushing just as badly, but steadied his nerves and responded. "Yeah, sorry about that. We try to keep the noise down, but I think I'll start applying a sound proof Curtain to our apartment when we do those things from now on." Izuku admitted.
"What's a Curtain?" Ochako asked in genuine curiosity.
Izuku in response stopped walking. He then made a handsign and chanted. "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure." As he was chanting a black viscus substance flowed from the sky in the shape of a dome and trapped the duo inside. "This is a Curtain. It is a simple cursed technique that can be used to trap people inside a given area. Conditions can be set too. For instance this one won't let sound out and won't let others see inside." Izuku explained.
"So you could use it to keep villains from escaping you if they try to run." Ochako stated in wonder.
"I could, but if I see them run it would be easier to activate one of my Domain Expansions to keep them in range or to just beat them with its sure hit attack." Izuku explained. "This is more useful for large groups since I can set conditions like teleportation cannot be used within the confines of the Curtain so teleporters and warp gate quirks can't escape me." Izuku said before releasing his barrier so the two could finish getting home. It was already almost 10pm after all and Izuku needed to be up early.
Once they made it to Ochako's door, Izuku gave her one last hug, which she readily returned. "Good night, my Gravity Queen." Izuku told Ochako with a kind smile.
Ochako blushed at his pet name for her and gave him a peck on his cheek much like Mina had before responding. "Good night, my Cursed King." Ochako returned before heading inside.
"The Cursed Hero: Deku has a nice ring to it." Izuku mumbled to himself as he made his way up the stairs to his apartment.
Once inside he setup a Curtain like he had discussed with Ochako before. Once the sound proof barrier was set he proceeded to his, Momo's, and Rika's room. Upon opening the door he immediately realized it was a good idea to setup his barrier.
Laying on the California king sized bed were Momo and Rika. Both were on top of the covers posing seductively and wearing matching emerald green lingerie. "You've kept us waiting long enough, our Cursed King." Momo purred out in a seductive tone while both her and Rika beckoned him to them with a single finger each.
The fact she used his new pet name that Mina-chan had given him coupled with how his lovers looked made Izuku's pants instantly tighten to an almost unbearable level. In less than a second he was stripping of his clothes for a passionate night with his loves.
Day of Mina's Date (6PM)
Izuku was standing outside of his old apartment wearing a white t-shirt under a short sleeve green button up shirt and black jeans with a pair of black Nike shoes.
He was about to knock when Kacchan opened the door. "Come in, Deku." Kacchan told him with a smirk.
Izuku returned the smirk and raised his right fist, which Katsuki bumped. "How's it going, Kacchan." Izuku entered the apartment and sat on the couch to wait for his Alien Queen.
"Goin good. Kiri-kun and I just want to talk to you a bit about your intentions with Acid Pink." Kacchan informed as he made his way to sit on the recliner.
"My intentions are to see where things between us go. I'll be the first to admit my relationship situation is out of the norm and I personally think both Mina-chan and Ochako-chan deserve better, but that isn't for me to decide. I want to give them the power of choice in weather or not they wish to persue a relationship with me while knowing fully well how things will be when the next steps are taken." Izuku told his best friend.
Kacchan smiled and was going to reply when a manly sniffle was heard behind him. He turned to see his red headed boyfriend tearing up, the big softie he is, and produced a handkerchief from seemingly thin air for his boyfriend. Kiri accepted the offered cloth and used it. "That's so MANLY!" Kiri exclaimed with a tearful smile.
"He's a sucker for romantic stuff." Katsuki explained while patting his boyfriend's back. "Don't ever say you aren't good enough for Mina-chan. She doesn't think that, and neither do we. Her parents are demanding to meet you, but that's just because she's never shown this much interest in a guy before. Kiri-kun and I explained your relationship situation, and they told us all they care about is that Mina-chan is happy." Katsuki explained to his best friend.
Izuku wasn't surprised by the fact that Katsuki scolded him for putting himself down or the fact that Mina's parents wanted to meet him. What surprised him was that they were fine with her being with someone she would have to share. "They must be great parents to only care about their daughter's happiness over what is considered normal." Izuku said with a small smile.
"They are. Her dad is really cool, and I know he's heard about you from Kaori-chan. Her mom is really nice, but you should expect a fair amount of teasing from her." Kiri explained while drying his manly tears.
"Noted, thanks, bro." Izuku said. He was going to continue, but the sound of a door opening caught his attention. Turning his head, he came upon a sight that made him go slack jawed.
Standing in her doorway was Mina Ashido wearing a loose black half cut tank top with the word 'ACID' in a florescent pink on the front. Under it was a hot pink short sleeve shirt, neck cut low to show a bit of her generous cleavage. She was also wearing a black short skirt with pink vertical stripes, black biker shorts, and black and pink converse boots. Around her neck was a black choker with a simple silver chain and two lines of pearls (Moka's choker from Rosario Plus Vampire minus the rosario cross) on either side of the chain. Finally, on her wrists were two loose golden bracelets and gold hoop earrings in her ear lobes.
"When you said we were going to a dance club, I figured I'd dress to impress. I guess I impressed you a bit too much, Izu-kun." Mina said with a smile and a giggle.
Izuku snapped out of his stupor and walked over to Mina, placing his hands on her hips he pulled her in close. "We can't go out with you dressed like that." He stated in a husky tone.
"Why not?" Mina asked just above a whisper, her lips mere inches from his own.
Izuku shook his head. "Because if other guys see you, they might try to hit on you. If they hit on you, I will hit on them." He said, moving a bit closer, their lips just centimeters apart. If left alone, they would kiss, but an interruption came in the form of Katsuki.
"Get going, or you'll be late to the club!" Katsuki shouted in anger. He was always punctual and refused to let his best friend and his sister figure be late on their first date.
Both teens were jolted from their moment, but instead of being embarrassed, they were instead irritated. "Kacchan!" Both shouted in anger at the interruption.
"At least go on yer date before ya fuck! A relationship is built on love and trust, not lust." Katsuki snapped back while pushing the two out of the door. Much to their protests as they wanted to cuddle more before heading out.
"Bring her home by midnight!" Kiri shouted, more as a joke than anything.
On the way to the club
The two had been walking arm in arm, chatting and laughing for about half an hour when they came to a building which had a light blue neon sign that read "Matt's Club" on it in a blocky graffiti style.
Mina was surprised Izuku brought her to the most popular teen club in Mustafu. When they just walked in with Izuku simply waving to the bouncer who looked like a cross between a human and a lion she was now questioning how he was able to do that.
"I helped found this place. Yamato or Matt as he prefers is a senpai of mine from middle school. He wanted a place where his band could rock out and enjoy themselves while entertaining a crowd from our home town. Since he was always nice to me I decided to pay half the cost of the building and decorations on the condition that when I come here I get a private booth." Izuku explained to his Alien Queen. "The fact that it was his high school graduation gift from me might also be why he was so accepting of my request." He added in afterthought.
Mina was a bit shocked that Izuku had that much money at only seventeen. She knew he'd done some modeling in the past and was considered in the top ten male models to date in Japan, but with no paparazzi following him, you would never know that. Little did Mina know that Izuku and Momo had made a deal with the Hero Public Safety Comission and their modeling agency to keep the paparazzi away from them unless it was due to their hero work. They wanted as normal of a life as they could have until becoming pros or at least attending U. A. as heroes in training.
Approching a waitress dressed in a stereotypical idol costume, who immediately recognized Izuku, he requested his personal booth. The two followed the waitress to a secluded booth on the second floor with sound dampening glass around it. A door was located about four feet from the booth at the top of the staircase, and the circular bench style seat itself was made of a green colored leather with gold trim. The table was small, just big enough for four plates and a few glasses to be placed on it.
"Get us my usual, and please don't tell Matt I'm here." Izuku told the idol themed waitress, getting a curt nod in return before leaving.
Her curiosity getting the better of her Mina asked her question. "I've been wondering about a few things." Mina stated.
"Well, I'm sure I have the answers." Izuku responded with a smile
"First question. Why don't paparazzi crowd you and Momo-chan like constantly? You're both well-known models, so you should at least have a few on your tails." Mina asked.
"We have a deal with some very powerful and influential people to keep unwanted attention off of our personal lives. Our agency also likes to have exclusive photography rights for us, so that helps too." Izuku informed his date.
"I guess that makes sense considering who you are/were. Second question. Why do you like me so much already? I mean, we literally met two days ago." Mina asked, though she had a crush on Izuku for years with her keeping up with his modeling career and having saved the life of her best friend aside from Kiri. She still wasn't sure exactly what drew him to her.
Izuku contemplated for a moment and decided that the unfiltered truth would be best in this situation. He never liked to lie to anyone to begin with, and when it came to those he cared for, he outright refused to lie to them. "Consider the time that I spent as Yuta Okotsu. Back then, odd hair colors were normal in Jujutsu society, but that was about as far out of the norm as things got. These days, you look relatively normal considering the bouncer, Alex is basically a werelion. I, however, see you as a stunning and unique beauty due to my past perceptions of people blended with my current life's experiences. Your personality, though, is what drew me in the most." Izuku explained as well as he could.
Mina leaned her head on his shoulder and contemplated how to ask her next question. She wanted to tell him why she liked him so much, but couldn't find the words to use.
Izuku, however, decided to ask a question of his own. "What about you?" He asked, earning a confused look from the pink teen. "What I mean is. Why do you like me so much given as you pointed out we met for the first time two days ago?" Izuku asked in obvious confusion.
"Promise you won't laugh or think I'm creepy." Mina demanded seriously.
Izuku simply chuckled and did something bold. He raised her chin and touched his forehead to her own, looking straight into Mina's eyes that reminded him of stars in the night sky. "I could never laugh at you or think you're creepy." He said in a genuinely caring tone causing Mina to blush a bit, but she smiled all the same.
Seperating from Izuku, Mina took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "I seen your first photo shoot in a magazine about five years ago. The way you and Momo-chan looked so happy and in love was breath taking. You were really cute back then, so I followed you on social media and in magazines. Then one day three years ago I got a call from Kaori-chan. She told me she met my dream man, Izuku Midoriya, and that he cured her illness in under five minutes. I was skeptical at first, but when Kosei told me the same and her next check-up said they found no trace of her motor neurons ever having degraded to begin with, I knew she was telling the truth. I started looking more into people who were miraculously healed of fatal diseases or injuries. Do you want to know what they all had in common?" Mina explained.
"What?" Izuku asked, honestly he knew, but he was just in awe of how thorough Mina had been in finding out info on him. She could be quite resourceful when she wanted to be.
"You. Every time that you were in that area for whatever reason you stopped what you were doing and helped people. You saved lives and asked nothing in return. That was what made me want to be a hero too. You inspire me Izu-kun, you make me want to be a better person. A better woman. Someone you can hopefully one day look at with the same amount of love and admiration you have for Rika-chan and Momo-chan. That same love and admiration I have developed for you." Mina told her verdette crush with a sad smile on her face. It was out there now and she couldn't take it back.
She spent five years wanting to meet Izuku Midoriya and she finally did. Only she also got a date and confessed her feelings. Those two things were what she had hoped for but not expected to happen. If he rejected her now, she would be heartbroken, but better pain over someone you just recently got to meet than pain over a long-term relationship.
"While I can't quite say that I love you yet. I'm sure that in time I will. What I can say, though, is that I do really like you, and I want to be with you and see where things lead us." Izuku told Mina with a kind smile that held genuine care and affection.
Mina smiled back and decided to be bold herself. She leaned forward and kissed Izuku's lips.
BOOM!
Fireworks went off in both of their heads at the feeling of the kiss.
Both were so lost in their moment that they hadn't noticed the waitress return until they heard their drinks being sat on the table.
They parted to see the waitress place a note on the table, which Izuku picked up and read. "Matt wants me to sing for a couple of songs tonight. He said I could pick them and I know just what to sing already." Izuku said in a slightly irritated tone.
"Why do you sound irritated about singing?" Mina asked before a thought dawned on her. "That's why you didn't want him to know we were here!" Mina exclaimed.
Izuku just smiled and shook his head. Mina was so cute when she was excited. "That's exactly why. Every time I come here, he uses the fact that I won't turn down a request from one of my favorite senpais as a way to get me to be his opening act." Izuku said with a smirk. "What he doesn't know is that I'm dedicating the songs this time to a very special new girlfriend in my life." He said before causing Mina's mind to explode in another shower of fireworks when he kissed her this time.
They kissed for a few more minutes, their tongues practically dancing as they did, before parting a small trail of saliva connecting their slightly poking out tongues.
"That's the first time I've ever kissed a guy with tongue, you know." Mina pointed out.
"Was it everything you'd hoped it would be?" Izuku asked with a slight smirk, which Mina found hot.
"Well, considering Kiri was my first and only kiss with a guy besides you. Added to the fact that happened when we were like ten. Yes. Yes, it was." Mina said with a wide smile.
"You never denied being my new girlfriend." Izuku stated, his smirk increasing.
To her credit, Mina just kissed him once more, and when they parted their foreheads still touching, she replied. "Who said that isn't what I was hoping to be by the end of this date anyway?" Mina asked lovingly. "I want to share a place in your heart beside Momo-chan and Rika-chan, Izu-kun. Being your girlfriend is the first step to that." His Alien Queen said with a smile.
Izuku couldn't keep the smile from his spreading across his face at that. "You wanna know something funny?" Izuku asked while almost chuckling himself.
"What?" Mina asked her Cursed King in genuine curiosity.
"You're actually my first official girlfriend." Izuku stated while lightly chuckling at the confusion on his Alien Queen's face. "Momo-chan and I never dated before getting engaged, neither did Rika-chan and I, though our engagement was just two kids who only understood being married meant being together forever." Izuku informed Mina.
"You mean when you regained your memories you just continued your relationship from where the three of you left off? You didn't bother to date to see if you still wanted to be together?" Mina asked.
Izuku shook his head in response. "We didn't need to. Yuta and Maki made an eternal Binding Vow and it can't be broken. We are Yuta and Maki just as much as we are Izuku and Momo. It was a bit strange at first, reincarnation isn't something people usually remember, but it does happen. While new souls are created in every generation some are recycled, wiped clean of their memories, and sent back as new people with no knowledge of who they were before. To be frank, Kacchan is the reincarnation of an old friend of mine by the name of Aoi Todo. If it wasn't for that, I may have never forgiven him so easily. If Todo knew his reincarnation was gay he would most likely keel over in abject terror. The guy was obsessed with a particular, busty idol from our time and was totally straight despite his eccentric nature." Izuku informed his pink girlfriend.
"Shouldn't we tell Kacchan about him being the reincarnation of one of your past friends?" Mina asked as she would take this secret with her to the grave if her boyfriend wanted her to, but if allowed she would inform her brother figure.
"No. He has no memory of being Todo and there is no way for him to regain those memories. It would just put unnecessary pressure on him to live up to the strength of a man who while he enjoyed fighting, never truly wished to live the life we did. Todo died a death worthy of himself, he died taking an attack for me so I could finish Gojo once and for all. Kacchan is my best friend now, Todo was a great friend and comrade, but he will remain a memory for Rika-chan, Momo-chan, and myself to honor." Izuku explained while hoping Mina would agree to his decision.
Mina smiled sadly at Izuku. He really held a lot of love for those he lost in his past life and though she couldn't really relate to that, she would comply with his request. "Okay. I won't tell him anything about Todo. In exchange you owe me another two dates before school starts." Mina requested.
Izuku chuckled at that. She would get her two dates and many more in the coming years. "I was planning that much already, but okay." Izuku accepted.
A clattering noise was heard on the floor and Izuku looked down to see a black box. "Why would you be reacting now of all times?" He asked the box while picking it up and placing it on the table.
"What's that?" Mina asked curiously.
Izuku took off the top and produced six small velvet boxes. The first one was the same shade of green as his hair. The second was white with black splotches all over it. The third had a starry night pattern on it. The fourth was pure white with a golden design like the button on his old Jujutsu Tech uniform. The fifth was pure black.
The sixth was the one that got Mina's attention the most, though. It was a pure pink in the same shade as her skin and hair with two yellow stripes that ran vertically along lid of the box. When Izuku opened it, the ring inside made her eyes widen. It was an engagement ring in the same design as the one Izuku, Rika, and Momo wear, but its jewel was pink with a yellow center.
"These rings are only supposed to react when someone I have romantic feelings for genuinely returns my feelings or in your case exceeds my own. It starts with the box's color changing, then the diamond changes colors, finally it finishes when the ring disappears from the box and reappears on the girl's ring finger. Momo-chan, Rika-chan, and I already have ours." Izuku explained as he opened the first, second, and fourth boxes showing the rings were gone.
"What would happen if I put mine on right now?" Mina asked in a teasing tone.
"You would be unable to remove it. I made these rings with the intention of creating a life long Binding Vow with whoever I marry. If the ring appears on your finger on its own then I will formally propose, but if you put it on of your own volition then it would mean you're agreeing to marry me and the vow would be forged." Izuku explained while warning Mina about the consequences of what she implied.
"Oh. While I'm not opposed to the idea of marrying you, I think seventeen is just a bit young to get engaged. As soon as I turn eighteen, however I'll be getting that ring." Mina stated with a wide smile and gave Izuku another tender kiss, which he returned without hesitation.
They hadn't noticed as her ring box showed a timer that began to count down. The timer faded away leaving no trace of its continued existence. Izuku then put the box with the ring boxes inside back into his shadow.
The door opening caught the kissing couple's attention, and they turned to see a twenty year old standing at about 5'8" with messy blonde hair and blue eyes walk in. (He's wearing Matt's Digimon Adventure outfit. He's a side character just for this date scene at the moment, and I don't feel like putting in too many details describing him. Sorry for that bit of lazy writing.)
"Come on, Izuku, we're starting in ten minutes. You can make out with the hottie later." Matt said while pointing at the door with his thumb.
Izuku sighed in annoyance at being interrupted again. "Okay. Okay." Izuku replied and gave Mina one last peck on her pink lips. "I want you to stand at the top of the stairs. I'll be calling you to the stage to dance with me while I sing." Izuku whispered to his girlfriend.
"I'll be waiting." Mina whispered back to her boyfriend with a loving smile as she watched him head to Matt and out the door of the booth. 'This has gone better than I hoped! I need to text Kiri and Momo to tell them!' Mina thought excitedly while pulling out her phone with a happy squeal.
(I'm not too good with describing settings. Just imagine the club looking like Lux from Lucifer, but with a stage at the back wall with typical rock band equipment and stage lighting on it.)
Izuku made his way to the stage behind Matt in silence. He stopped by the DJ booth to hand off the first song he would sing on the way to the stage. Once he made it to the mic, he took it from the stand. "These songs are dedicated to a very special girl that grows more dear to my heart with every passing moment." Izuku spoke to the large crowd. "This song is called Trust Me by Yuya Matsushita."
As he sang, he pointed to Mina, who was standing at the top of the stairs as requested, and she bagan to make her way down. The crowd gave her enough space to get to the stage, and once in front of the stage, Izuku reached down and took her hand. He brought her up, and the two began dancing energetically to the beat while Izuku sang the lyrics. As the song came to a close, Izuku pulled his Alien Queen in for a deep kiss.
"Did you all like that?!" Izuku asked to the joyous roar of the crowd. "This next song is for all the couples in the house tonight! Grab your partners and prepare for a love song that transcends time. Kimi ga Inai Mirai by Do As Infinity!" Izuku exclaimed before he said the name of a technique. "Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void" It spread around the entire club and made the whole place look like the starry void of space. He had weakened it to a state where it was just a visual effect and not flooding people's minds with information. This was something he loved to do. Using Cursed Techniques purely for entertainment purposes wasn't possible in his old life, but now letting people see the beauty that's within this particular Domain Expansion with no negative repercussions was truly something that brought him joy.
As the music was starting he moved himself and Mina to opposite ends of the stage and as he sang the two began to run towards each other like long lost lovers being reunited after a lengthy period away from one another. Visuals of the two from childhood up until tonight were shown as seemingly hologram images to the crowd who danced while watching them on stage. At the beginning of the final verse the two finally embraced looking to be floating in mid-air and as the final words were sang they inched closer and closer until kissing passionately just as the final word left Izuku's lips.
The technique was released in a shower of sparkles as the two parted, and the final note was played. This left the club goers in a stunned silence until all at once, they burst into cheers and clapped for the amazing performance they had just witnessed.
The couple, however, had tuned them out, resting their foreheads together and gazing longingly into each other's eyes. "You do know after that you're stuck with me?" Mina asked lovingly.
Izuku chuckled at her words. "Yeah, but that's what I was hoping for." He responded. "Matt's gonna take over from here. Wanna get food or dance for a bit, then eat?" Izuku asked while the two walked off the stage arm in arm.
"Food sounds good, then we can dance for a while." Mina responded just before her stomach grumbled, causing Izuku to chuckle a bit.
"As my Alien Queen commands." Izuku replied and began to take them into the kitchen.
Mina didn't question why they were going to the kitchen themselves instead of ordering food to be taken to their booth. Izuku was a partial owner of the club, so it stood to reason he could go anywhere he wanted here.
Upon entering the kitchen, they noticed a few cooks dressed in white chef's coats and black slacks. Izuku walked up to a maroon haired chef who had goggles around his neck and tapped him on the shoulder.
"What do you want, Matt? Can't you see I'm trying to get an order ready?" The chef asked irritably.
"I'm not Matt, and I can see that, but you have a more important order to fill, Davis." Izuku stated, which caused the now named Davis to turn around and look in shock at seeing Izuku.
A wide smile stretched across Davis's face at seeing his senpai for the first time this year. "Izuku-senpai! How've ya been!?" Davis said excitedly while giving Izuku a bro hug with one arm.
Izuku chuckled at his kohai's antics. "I've been good. I'm actually here on a date with my new girlfriend." He motioned towards Mina, who waved at Davis with a wide smile. "Her name is Mina Ashido. Treat her as you would Rika-chan, Momo-chan, or myself." Izuku informed.
"She's quite the beauty, Senpai. Where did you meet her?" Davis asked while gathering ingredients for a veggie burger, which Mina had requested.
"Well, I met her before the U. A. entrance exams two days ago. She hung out with Momo-chan, Rika-chan, and I afterward, and after a slip of the tongue, I decided to ask her out." Izuku explained.
"Damn. Two days and already got the girl. The way you two performed, I thought you'd known each other a lot longer." Davis pointed out.
"You could say we spent a lot of time talking in these past two days. Plus, when it's right, and you know it's right you should just go for it." Izuku vaguely replied.
"Probably doesn't help that I pretty much stalked his modeling career for the past five years." Mina said while blushing a bit. She then explained how she's had a crush on Izuku since she was twelve, and once she met him and he turned out to be better than she'd imagined, she pretty much fell for him right away.
Davis was impressed, to say the least. He knew his senpai was a great guy and about his modeling stuff. The fact that one of his fans had basically ended up on the potential wife list was a bit jarring, though. "I wish Kari would see me like that." Davis lamented while thinking of his brunette crush, who was also currently his best friend.
Izuku put a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder. "If she can't see what an amazing guy you are, then take my advice and move on. There are plenty of girls your age out there, and you were pretty popular back in middle and high school for being the soccer team's captain." Izuku told his favorite kohai.
Davis smiled sadly at that. He knew deep down that Izuku was right. The heart wants what it wants sometimes. "I would if I could, Senpai. Believe me." Davis replied.
"You really love her. Don't you?" Mina asked in a sympathetic tone. "I'm gonna help you." Mina stated with a determined look in her eyes.
Izuku shook his head with a wide smile. "If we're going to help Davis with this, then our date may get cut short." Izuku pointed out.
"That's fine. I already got what I wanted out of this date anyway." Mina waved off.
"What did you want exactly?" Izuku asked teasingly.
Mina simply kissed his lips. "You, of course." She stated before turning back to Davis. "Is she single?" Mina asked seriously.
"Yeah, but she used to always turn me down in middle school. Never would tell me why, though." Davis explained.
Mina contemplated his words for a moment. "Have you tried asking her out recently?" Mina asked.
Davis looked confused but shook his head in the negative. "After I stopped asking her out, we started to become really good friends. I didn't wanna jeopardize the friendship we have now, so I haven't asked in like three years." He admitted while flipping the burgers he was making for his senpai and his senpai's girlfriend.
"Isn't her quirk, Empathy?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, why?" Davis questioned.
"So she still hangs out with you regularly despite knowing for a fact that you love her?" Mina asked in confusion.
"Mina-chan, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Izuku asked his girlfriend.
Mina looked to her boyfriend and smiled widely while nodding. "If you're thinking she loves him back, but wants him to make the first move, then yes I am." She replied.
Davis was hearing the conversation and couldn't believe what he was hearing. If Izuku-senpai was right, then he just needed to take the chance and ask out the girl of his dreams. "I'm gonna text Kari and ask her if I can come over after my shift. I'll confess to her then." Davis said with pure determination in his eyes.
"Good for you, Davis." Izuku said and pointed at the two finished plates of food. "Can we have our food now?" Izuku asked with a cheeky smile.
Davis jolted at that. He'd almost forgotten to give them their food. "Here ya go. Sorry about that, guys." Davis handed them their food and apologized.
"It's all good. You were just distracted with your crush. it happens to everyone." Mina waved off her boyfriend's kohai.
"See you soon, Davis." Izuku said as he and Mina began to make their way back to their private booth.
The rest of their time at the club after eating was spent dancing together. They both had a blast, and through it, all both thought about how lucky they were to have each other.
Mina's Apartment
It was approximately midnight when Izuku brought Mina home. The two were sharing one last passionate kiss before Izuku would head back home to rest and get ready for his date with Ochako the following day.
The two parted and rested their foreheads together once more.
"I had a great night, my Cursed King." Mina told Izuku with a caring smile, which he returned.
Pecking her soft lips once more, Izuku responded. "So did I, my Alien Queen. I enjoyed singing for you and dancing with you. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Momo-chan and Rika-chan want to spend some time with you tomorrow. They said it would help you get more used to our situation."
"Sounds like fun. I'm guessing you're taking Ochako-chan out while I'm with them." Mina said with a bright smile. She knew she held a piece of her Cursed King's heart, and that was enough for her. Mina wasn't the jealous type and knew that in this relationship, everyone was equal. While she knew Izuku didn't quite love her yet it would only be a matter of time until he does.
"Yeah. She's never gotten to experience the finer things in life and I want to let her see a bit of high society even if we all just live comfortably later on." Izuku informed his first actual girlfriend.
"That's really sweet of you." Mina said and was going to say more when Izuku got a text.
Thinking it may be important he unlocked his phone to see that it was from Davis. He opened the text and showed it to Mina.
It was two pictures. The first was Davis and a brunette with pink eyes smiling at the camera while holding up peace signs. The second was of the two kissing. "That's so sweet." Mina said with a soft smile.
Izuku nodded at Mina's words. "To think that I told him to give up. I feel like a bad senpai now."
"You aren't a bad senpai. You were just trying to spare your kohai his feelings and help him. If it wasn't for our situation I would have probably told him the same, but after us getting together I came to the conclusion that love always finds its way no matter how slim the chances may be." Mina admitted to her verdette hunk of a boyfriend.
Izuku smiled widely at Mina for that. "Thanks, Mina-chan. I needed to hear that. I should probably be getting home now. Good night, my Alien Queen." Izuku said before giving Mina one last passionate kiss before leaving.
"Good night, my Cursed King." Mina whispered to Izuku the love in her voice clear as day. As she watched him walk away she thought about how he said home. She already didn't like how home for them was two different places, but living together could come after he told her that he loves her and she gave herself to him.
