Chapter 6:
Mina had begun training with Izuku at least once or twice a week. Normally, she considered her class activities as exercise enough. Working out with Izuku really opened her eyes to a level of training she'd been unconsciously avoiding. Mina could see his level of dedication and focus, which in turn challenged her to train harder and do better.
One particular day after training, they were both laying on the ground after a pretty intense sparring session breathing heavily. Mina wore her gym pants and a sports bra while Izuku only wore his gym pants since Mina had accidentally burned his shirt off.
"What is it…with you…and messing…with my shirts?" Izuku managed to say between heavy breaths. "Am I just supposed…to walk around shirtless…all the time?"
Mina's first thought was to just say, "I have no problem with that," but she held her tongue.
"Oh stop whining ya big baby," she said with a laugh, "you have plenty of shirts."
Izuku sat up and Mina almost missed what he said because she was looking at his muscles as he rotated to look at her.
"Actually, I don't really. You've stolen at least three of my shirts during our…" he paused to make sure no one else in the training area was near, "sleepovers and now you just burned a fourth."
She hadn't considered that. Mina was a fashion diva so she always had plenty of clothing options but Izuku was a simple guy when it came to clothes. Makes sense he didn't have a ton of outfits.
"Sooo either you need to return some of my shirts or you owe me a new one."
Mina scooted closer to him, placed her lips barely touching his ear, and quietly whispered, "If you take my shirts away from me, you're going to be sleeping in your own room for a looong time."
Izuku sat up straight and looked at his pink friend. How did she even manage to make a threat sound flirty? Regardless, he was now perfectly content to let her have those shirts.
If he truly wanted the shirts back, Mina would've given them to him but she wouldn't be happy about it. Those had become her favorite sleep shirts, especially whenever Izuku stayed the night. They smelled like him and were always super big on her.
One morning, Ochaco stopped by and Mina opened the door wearing only a pair of black panties and one of Izuku's shirts. Mina had totally forgot she was wearing it but it was too late. The girls had all seen each other without clothes on before but Ochaco about had an aneurysm when she recognized the shirt as Izuku's. Mina lied and just claimed that they had the same shirt which took some convincing. Ochaco was just picking up some notes from Mina and after she left, Mina closed the door and crawled back into bed with a still sleeping Izuku. She knew that her friend had a crush on Izuku but Mina wasn't exactly open to sharing.
"How bout this," Mina suggested, helping her shirtless friend to his feet, "let's go to the mall and I'll get you a new shirt."
"You…want us to go to the mall together?" Izuku said in a surprising tone, "what if someone sees us?"
"So what?" Mina shrugged, "we are friends, can friends not go to the mall and hangout together?"
She did want to hangout with him one on one but it's not like friends couldn't do that anyway.
"I suppose that's fair," he agreed and stood up, "can I at least go shower first?"
"Yeah that's smart I probably need one too," Mina responded. They both began walking back to the dorms, Izuku putting his gym jacket over his bare torso so that he wouldn't be walking around campus shirtless.
"Oh crap," the green haired boy suddenly exclaimed, "all my shower things are still at your place. You mind if I use your shower?"
Mina rolled her eyes and chuckled, "yes that's fine but I get to go first. You can 'borrow' one of your shirts to wear." They made it back to her room without anyone else seeing and quickly close the door behind them.
She grabbed her towel and before she entered the bathroom, turned to Izuku and said, "while I'm showering, go ahead and pick out an outfit for me to wear to the mall. Something pretty," then closed the door behind her.
Izuku heard the water turn on so he made his way to her closet to look for something for her to wear. He'd stayed in her room plenty of times at this point but this still felt a little private. Browsing through her clothes, he spotted a black plaid skirt he'd never seen her wear before. It didn't take long of him imagining her wearing it before he grabbed it quickly. Next he saw a long sleeve black blouse and grabbed that too. He set out her favorite bra and some panties to match before laying the clothes on top with a pair of vans and black thigh highs. He hoped that last one wasn't too much.
Right as he finished setting the outfit on her bed, Mina stepped out of the bathroom with towels wrapped around her torso and head.
"I left the water running for you, be quick," she said giving him a little spank of encouragement. He quickly scampered into the shower and took a fast body shower. He finished up and dried off fast before wrapping his towel around his waist and made his way out of the bathroom.
He could hear her hair dryer running from the bathroom but he was taken aback when he saw her standing in front of her mirror with her hair dryer wearing only the underwear and bra he had picked out for her.
Izuku quickly averted his gaze. He gave a quick cough to let her know he was there.
"Oh hey Izu, that was fast. You better have used soap."
"Ummm Mina? You're not wearing any clothes," He said awkwardly trying hard yo be respectful and not look.
Mina set her hair dryer down and turned to face her rapidly blushing friend.
"You put these out for me, did you expect me not to wear them?"
He looked her in the eyes but even in his peripheral he got a full frontal view of her. She wasn't doing anything seductive or flirty but that didn't stop Izuku from having to fight his arousal. He looked away again before he spoke to her.
"I just want to be respectful since you were indecent."
"Indecent??" Mina repeated back to him as she walked towards him. Grabbing his chin, she turned his face back towards her.
"You've slept in my bed almost everyday this week and days before where I wear little more than this. You've seen more of me than anyone else in this school. If I wasn't comfortable with you looking, I wouldn't be like this."
Izuku's face was almost as pink as Mina's skin. He had seen her like this before but he had always made sure that she was comfortable and never felt like he was in this for her body. Her body was beautifully stunning and all he wanted to do was stare but that didn't make it okay to do it.
"So it doesn't bother you that I…" Izuku began to say before Mina used her pointer finger and pushed him onto the edge of the bed. He quickly gripped his towel to make sure it didn't fall off. He leaned back as the underclad hero straddled her legs on each side of him and wrapped her arms around his wet shoulders as she sat comfortably in his lap.
"Izu," Mina calmly spoke as she moved a strand of hair out of his face, "you are one of the most kind and respectful men I have ever met. You could never 'bother' me. When I say that I trust you, I hope you know I mean that fully and completely."
As he listened and stared into her golden eyes, all he wanted to say was just how beautifully perfect she was. He wanted to compliment her eyes, her voice, her kindness, her hair, her body, her lips, everything. He watched her lips move as she spoke and for the first time, he felt the conscious desire to kiss her.
"So do you believe me?" Mina asked the stunned hero. He tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out so he nodded with a shy smile.
"Good," she said standing up off his lap.
"Besides, you know this bra is my favorite because you see me in it all the time. Kinda hard to be surprised at seeing me undressed when you see me enough to know my favorite underwear." She chuckled at him as she grabbed the skirt he laid out and slid it on.
She made a fair point.
Izuku grabbed the clothes he was going to wear and stepped into the bathroom to change since he was still in his towel. When he came out, Mina was wearing the full outfit and she looked gorgeous. He'd seen her wear skirts before as part of her school uniform but this one fit followed her curves just right.
"Nice touch with the thigh highs," Mina commented giving him a little twirl so he could see the full fit. "I probably would've gone with fishnets but you can't go wrong with thigh highs."
He couldn't disagree with that statement. Mina finished grabbing her purse, phone, and other necessities. Finally ready, Mina grabbed Izuku's hand and smiled as they walked to the door.
"Come on Tiger, let's get you some new clothes."
