Hey everyone. As the summary to this said, this is more or less a spinoff of my Acidic Affection story. This won't be a continuous work but rather an anthology of sorts, a collection of smaller pieces taking place at various points in the Acidic Affection "universe".

I won't say it's a sequel, as not all of these will take place after the end of the story. This first piece, for example, takes place between the last 2 chapters. You'll also notice this is a particularly short "chapter" – There's no real set length to any of these. Some will be short drabbles like this, some will be more robust oneshots, and some may even be multiple parts. The themes and ideas will vary wildly of course. Heck, some may not even focus on either Izuku or Mina.

As for an update schedule… Well, there isn't one really. I'll basically add to this whenever I get an idea I want to put down. It could be days between updates, or weeks. This is more or less a dumping ground for ideas that involve these two dorks already being in an established relationship.

Finally, and this should go without saying but… It is expected you have read Acidic Affection before any of this. I'm not saying you can't read these stories on their own, of course, but I feel you'll be missing a lot of context and won't enjoy them nearly as much.

Now, that's enough from me.

It was a warm summer morning on the campus of U.A. There wasn't a cloud in the sky as the sun shone down. While one would expect to see crowds of people heading into school at about at this time, it was rather quiet on the prestigious school's grounds today. Another Sunday had come, giving students and staff alike a day to rest.

Perhaps the only spot on campus with any signs of life was the dormitory built for U.A's hero students. Unsurprisingly, several members of the famous (or infamous, depending on who you asked) class 1A were used to getting up early, even on days off.

Mina Ashido was not one of those members.

And yet despite that, the acid-wielding girl found herself opening her eyes at about 7 o'clock, several hours earlier than she normally would on a day like this. Groggy, sure, but she was still awake. Groaning with annoyance at being roused from her slumber so early, she soon became aware of the sensation of her head slowly rising and falling accompanied by the sound of deep breathing. Smiling, she slowly lifted her head off her bedmate's chest, sitting up slightly to look at him.

"Mmmm… Morning, hon-huh?" Mina cut herself off as she realized something even more unusual than her waking up at this hour. Beside her, still fast asleep, was Izuku Midoriya.

Mina almost never got up before her boyfriend.

The two of them had been dating for nearly two months now, they and had spent most of the latter half of that living together in the dorms. This certainly wasn't the first time they'd spent the night together, and it was almost always Izuku that wound up waking Mina up, especially on school days. It'd always be a struggle to drag her out of bed, too. However, there had been rare moments like today where she would end up being the first one up.

Mina took a moment to observe her sleeping boyfriend. It wasn't something she got to see often, and she always cherished it. He just looked so… Relaxed. So tranquil. Like he didn't have a care in the world. Given the immense responsibility he held due to his Quirk, it was something his girlfriend appreciated seeing.

Having learned about the truth of Izuku's – And by extension All Might's – Quirk about two weeks ago, she now knew why he was so determined to push himself harder and harder. Why he never seemed to feel satisfied with his performance, no matter how amazing he may have seemed to everyone else. He had come so far, but in his mind, he had only taken the first few steps on an incredibly long and arduous journey.

…But he was still a human, and a young one at that. His stamina wasn't infinite, and there were times Mina worried her lover was overexerting himself. Seeing him like this helped put her at ease.

It didn't last long, however; Izuku was a very light sleeper, and Mina's slight movements were enough to rouse him from his slumber.

"Hn…" Green eyes slowly opened as he looked up at her.

"Hey, sleepyhead," she greeted in a soft voice.

"Mmm… Morning, Mina..." Izuku murmured, not taking his head off the pillow. His eyes were still half-closed as he spoke; he clearly hadn't completely woken up yet. "…What time is it…?"

"7. You overslept, mister," Mina joked. To many people, 7 AM was a rather early time to wake up, but Izuku wasn't most people. The drowsy boy cracked a small smile at her comment.

"And you're up early," he shot back. Mina chuckled, yawning halfway through; evidently, she wasn't fully awake either. She laid back down, adjusting herself so that she was next to him.

"Guess our sleeping habits are rubbing off on each other, huh?" She asked rhetorically before giving him a quick good-morning kiss. "So… Should we get up?" Her lover let out a soft groan, snuggling up to her.

"Don't want to..." He mumbled, nuzzling her. Mina couldn't help but giggle at his somewhat childish response. She adored sleepy Izuku; he showed a part of himself that only she really got to see whenever he was in this state.

It was the part of him that was, for lack of a better word, lazy. The part of him that just wanted to actually relax for once in his life, to not think about heroes or Quirks or his future as the successor to All Might. The part of him that wanted to, for just a little while, act like a normal teenage boy.

And after everything he had gone through, he deserved to feel that way every now and then. He needed to, for both his sake and Mina's.

She loved Izuku, but again, she worried about him. The immense burden he had to bear, the lofty expectations set by both himself and others… To say nothing of the fact that his Quirk was legitimately dangerous to his health. She loved him for his unbreakable spirit and willpower, but again, he was still human. She feared if he didn't stop and take it easy every now and then, he would be crushed under the weight of his responsibilities.

Which is why she was more than happy to see him act like this.

…Besides, she didn't really want to get up either.

"Okie dokie…" She said as they embraced each other, sighing happily as she felt the warmth of his body against hers. She giggled softly as he peppered her with kisses, all of which she eagerly returned.

The best part about this Izuku was how affectionate he was.

Nothing extreme happened, of course. The two of them were in a cuddly mood this morning, their kissing more playful than anything.

"…Love you, babe," Mina cooed as she rested her head against his.

"Love you too," Izuku replied, holding her close. She let out a small yawn that sounded more like a squeak than anything.

So cozy…

It wasn't long before the two of them were back asleep, nestled in each other's arms with smiles on their faces.

Again, very, very short start, I know. This was more of a proof-of-concept type thing than anything, a fairly safe and simple start before I get into anything else. As I said at the start, I can't say for sure when the next update will be, or what it will be about. Hopefully you enjoyed this, and will enjoy what's to come!
