A/N: So after watching My Hero Academia for the first time quite recently I fell in love with the nerdy wanna-be hero Midorya and bubbly Mina Ashido and thought that mixing these two opposites could make for a really interesting love story. So! - Here I am, writing my attempt at writing a cute story for my MHA OTP. I hope you enjoy!

So far, today had been too much to handle for Izuku. The fight with Todoroki had drained him in almost every way imaginable, his arms were still a little numb from almost destroying them earlier and he just wanted to go to bed. Hell if it wasn't for Iida's earnest requests he would've gone straight home, but apparently Mr. Aizawa had a few things to say beforehand, so that plan was straight out the window.

Alone and in silence he made his way back to class, staring down at his bandaged arms with a concerned expression. *I could lose feeling in my arms if I injure them again...* The thought kept manifesting again and again in his mind and it was safe to say that what Recovery girl had said to him, stuck.

"Midorya!" An excited voice yelled as he got to the door of the classroom. He barely managed not to yelp and jumped backwards, almost slipping over as he came face to face with a pink skinned and beaming girl. Mina Ashido, a girl he hadn't had many, if any exchanges with before, to everyone's surprise. With her outgoing and overzealous attitude it seemed that everyone ,whether they liked it or not, had spoken to her before.

"A-Ashido-San!" He cried as she leaned towards him, hands behind her back and a beaming smile on her face. Everything about her seemed full on, from her attitude to her appearance. Pink skin and equally pink, messy hair housed two small, pale yellow horns; they were some of her most outstanding features, as well as black sclera eyes, home to two amber pupils that looked like suns in a galaxy of pure black.

Her excitable attitude and 'in-your-face' personality were like a flame dropped into a field of dry grass. As soon as it starts it spreads like an out of control virus, even the anxious teenager began to grin at her joyful smiling. "That fight with Todoroki was so awesome! Even Cementos had to step in! I mean, ya even managed to get him to use his left side!" Her voice was full of enthusiasm as she edged closer and closer to Izuku, beaming the entire time.

"T-Thank you..." He replied timidly. She was right, he'd managed to get Todoroki, the boy who vowed never to even think of using his left side to completely detonate the battlefield with his flames, So why in god's name was he panicking over a simple conversation with a fellow student? Especially one as easy to talk to as Mina.

"Anyways, how're ya feeling? I noticed how beat up ya looked even after seeing Recovery Girl." She said, calming her excitement a little but still smiling all the same.

"Oh! I feel good... G-Great even! I just feel... a little numb is all." He replied with an awkward chuckle but still smiling from Mina's toxic positivity. That was true though. As incredible as Recovery Girl's quirk was, his arms still felt a little empty of feeling and according to the healing quirk nurse, they would feel that way until tomorrow morning, which really put into perspective how powerful One For All really was.

It'd been a few hours since the end of the sports festival and since he'd been fixed back up, but still he couldn't even move his fingers. It was pretty terrifying in reality, just how much training and practice it might take him to nail using One For All's power at a level that wouldn't destroy his bones.

"Well that's no good huh?" Mina smiled, standing back up straight and sighing. "You need me to get the door for you?" She asked, seeming to only just realise that what he'd said, meant he wasn't getting them himself. It gave him a laugh that she'd been so slow to figure it out, but it was still sweet of her to offer.

"Y-Yeah please- If you don't mind obviously." He added quickly.

"Pfft!" She laughed, waving a hand at him and shaking her hand. "Like hell, get in there." She ordered with a smiled, nodding into the classroom as she slid the door across for him.

Again, he found himself smiling at her and nodded before heading inside. Mina followed him close behind before splitting off and heading to her respective seat. He knew that Mina was a little on the nose and, although it's almost opposite to how he acts, he still found her really pleasant to be around, even if it was the first time they'd really spoken since the start of the course.

He was told about some of the things she did by Uraraka when their friends group met up and went out to places. From what he was told it sounded like a lot of fun. He watched her out of the corner of his eye as she almost skipped over to her seat, her jacket swinging freely from where she'd only half crammed it into her rucksack and another smile came across his face. He admired how full of energy she seemed to be, even after such a long day as today.

Chuckling to himself he used his foot to pull out his desk chair and sat down, doing his best not to knock his arms on anything as he did. Once he was comfortable he looked about the classroom to see who else had listened to Iida's requests and returned to class after the sports festival.

Even though they could return home now it was over, everyone with enough sense had listened to the overbearing class representative and returned to hear was it was Aizawa had to tell them, all except for Bakugo. The crazy blonde haired, explosive tempered teenager had clearly decided that class can shove it and had gone home anyways, which was to be expected. Izuku definitely wasn't bothered by it though; he could usually tolerate Bakugo's yelling and insults but after a day like today, he was happy to see his empty seat.

Strangely enough most of the class was quiet now, excluding Mina who was leaning over the back of her seat talking to Tsuyu. She seemed to be the only person in the classroom who had energy left over from the festival. Then again, from what Uraraka had told him Mina could run laps around the world without a break and still be brimming with energy.

Then the entrance of Mr. Aizawa brought silence down upon them.

"Nice to see most of you decided to return." He started coldly, clearly looking at Bakugo's empty seat as he strolled up to the lectern. He must've been informed of Iida's absence, because he didn't seem to pay much mind to him also not being present. "As you can imagine, I didn't call you back here because I enjoy seeing your faces. Instead I have notices from Principle Nezu that you might be... Somewhat happy to hear." He explained, pausing to take a deep, 'I'd rather be anywhere else but here' sigh.

No one was really surprised or blamed the home-room teacher for having the attitude he'd had recently. Izuku had had experience being wrapped in bandages, now included, but even he hadn't been mummified like Aizawa was. He could only imagine how frustrating it must be to be locked in a prison of casts and being unable to do anything for yourself.

"So, first things first; congratulations too all of you, you all showed good potential out there..." He started. Izuku couldn't help but feel like maybe Aizawa was just saying that because, as a teacher, he was kind of entitled too but then again, he wasn't always as cold as he made himself out to be.

"Secondly, Principle Nezu has allowed you to have Thursday and Friday to get your strength back and unwind. Personally, I think you should be back to training right away but, clearly I share different priorities to the Principle." He added blankly. Most of the students were more than happy to hear that they were going to have a four-day weekend, mainly the low graders of the class but Izuku was a little disheartened. If there was a time to be training it was now, everyone knew exactly what it was they needed to improve on and with what would've been two days left of the school week, they would have had the perfect chance to get started on a scheduled. Then again, all Izuku ever really did was train himself so a long weekend wasn't going to be unwelcome.

Aizawa kept the class back until half-three had come around before finally letting them go. He'd let Mina go a little early for whatever reason that was but Izuku didn't think much of it.

"Are you sure you'll be okay Deku?" Uraraka asked with a concerned expression. Izuku nodded with a flattered looking smile before going back to trying to cram his blazer into his bag.

"I'm sure Uraraka-San, go and enjoy your weekend." He smiled warmly, nodding towards the door.

"Well... Okay then, if you're really sure. Let me know when you're feeling better okay?" The gravity quirk user smiled before heading towards the door.

"I will." He muttered to himself, firing her a grin as she left the class and slid the door shut.

Now, it was just him left struggling to get his things into his rucksack with his cast arms. After deciding that putting his blazer into his bag first was a good idea, fitting his textbooks in was even more of a challenge. But something else distracted him from the task, he spotted something on the opposite side of the room that looks strangely familiar. Mina's bag, left sprawled carelessly under her desk with a few of it's contents spilling from the open zip. Did she mean to leave it here? Looking at how much she rushed around it wouldn't surprise him if she'd forgotten. Maybe he should try and return it to her? Then again, he didn't have a clue where she was or if she was even still here.

If she really had gone home, how could she have not realised she didn't have her rucksack? A bit of a stupid question considering all the times she'd almost done it before though. Doing his best to pull his bag into his back he headed over to her desk, kneeling on the floor and sliding one of his stiff arms through the strap before picking it up in the crease of his elbow. He did his best to put her things back but with bandaged fingers, it was a little difficult. He did manage it after a few struggling minutes and once her bag was zipped back up, he made his way towards the classroom door.

But, as he went to attempt to pull it open it quickly slid across and he was met with Mina's face a few feet from his own for the second time today.

"Oh Midorya, your still here!" She beamed, throwing her arms up in the air in exaggerated surprise.

"Uhh... y-yeah I am, I just managed to get all my things packed away now so... ehehehe..." He replied, awkwardly stuttering out his words and chuckling as she rested her weight on her right leg and put her hand on her cocked hip.

"Why do you have my bag?" She asked with a confused laugh. That's right, he had been standing there with her bag hanging from his arm like a human coat hanger and it had almost totally slipped his mind.

"Oh! W-Well you see I... I was just about to come and find you! I-I figure that you might've forgotten it!" He blurted, a faint and embarrassed rosy tone appearing on his freckled cheeks.

Her reaction was almost opposite to what he'd expected it to be. She threw her head back and let out a contagious and quite amusing laugh before looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Seriously? Aww that's sweet, thank you." She cooed, still giggling as she took the bag from his stiff arm and threw it onto her shoulder. "Since your here, I have a question. D'ya get the train home?" She asked, turning and starting down the hall, obviously expecting Izuku to follow.

Awkwardly he watched after her. How could she be so cool around someone she'd literally only spoken two twice? It was like she naturally made friends with everyone no matter how well she knew them beforehand. Shaking himself from his thoughts he jogged after the pink acid user, slowing to a walk once he'd caught up with her.

"Y-Yeah I do... Why do you ask?" He questioned curiously.

"So do I!" She gasped, spinning to look at him and walking backwards which honestly made him feel a little nervous. Her bubbly and clumsy seeming attitude made him nervous as to whether the next step she took would be the one to put her on the floor.

"You mind if I tag along with ya?" She asked with a hopeful expression. Izuku again felt her energy and excitement spreading to him and a small smile began to form on his face.

"I-I mean, if you really want to, t-then it's fine by me." He replied awkwardly.

Mina just laughed at him and looked over her shoulder with an eyebrow raised.

"Are you always this nervous?" She asked with chuckle. Izuku's cheeks began to burn up as embarrassment flooded him. He was just a naturally nervous person, he's the same even around Uraraka and he'd been friends with her since his time in U.A began.

"Never mind. More importantly, back to that fight with Todoroki, seriously it was amazing! I had no idea you were actually that strong!" She smiled, completely changing the subject.

Again, Izuku's cheeks began to heat up and he awkwardly chuckled, looking down at the floor as they headed out of U.A and towards the main gate.

"Y-You really think so?" He asked, not looking up at her.

"Oh my god, yeah dude! He's like... The strongest guy in our class and you really gave him a run for his money!" She replied, almost shouting with enthusiasm before throwing a few punches at the air.

He couldn't help but chuckle, watching her fight an invisible enemy as they walked out of U.A and down towards the train station. The sun was only just starting to set, and the sky had turned a slightly hotter shade of blue casting an orange tinged light over Tokyo. It also made Mina's skin look more lilac than pink and it was a little overwhelming.

"W-Well... Your fight with Aoyama was pretty cool too..." He replied timidly, firing her his best goofy smile.

"Aww, your too sweet." She giggled before looking ahead again. He chuckled still feeling a little embarrassed at what he'd just said. It was surprisingly nice being able to walk with her, she was an interesting character but even after these brief moments spent talking to her he was already enjoying her bubbly, full on personality. Uraraka was always fun to be around and Iida could be funny even if he didn't mean to be, but Mina on the other hand, Mina was Uraraka's fun side and Iida's funny attitude about one hundred times more extreme.

"There is something I wanted to ask you about though Midoriya." She started with a curious expression on her face.

"Oh?" He replied, raising his eyebrow at her.

"About your quirk." She added. Suddenly he felt his stomach drop, had she figured it out after the sports festival? Did she figure out that he'd been entrusted with the One For All quirk? He thought he'd done such a good job in hiding it away from people.

"I mean, you've got one of the strongest, most awesome quirks I've ever seen and yet... You're such a wuss." She smiled. His heat fell a little at this statement, not so much by the fact that she hadn't figured out his quirk, but because she was so blunt in how she said what she just did. It's like the spirit of Tsuyu decided to take over for a brief moment.

"Ouch, y-you don't sugar-coat it huh?" He asked with chuckle. Mina shrugged.

"Mmmm... There's that, but when it comes down to it, you become this formidable fighter! Willing to destroy your own body to prove yourself! It's admirable honestly. It's like you've got two different personalities. Do you? - Have two different personalities?" She beamed before turning to him with a curious expression.

"N-No I'm pretty sure I don't... Last time I checked." He replied, another contagious smile coming across his face along with a faint blush at her brief compliment.

She giggled at him before looking up through the trees with a smile. Ever since she'd bumped into him when he was about to leave, he'd been smiling, they both had. Obviously, Mina was smiling pretty much 24/7 anyway, but she seemed to be enjoying his company and it was a little bit of a confidence boost.

"No but dude, seriously, you've got such a strong quirk and clearly you're a capable fighter, so why are you such a wimp?" She asked, frowning at him curiously although she was still smiling.

"Well I just... I don't know... That's how I've always been..." He replied with an awkward chuckle.

"Hmm..." Was her simple reply, shrugging and raising her eyebrows seeming satisfied with the answer he'd given her. He couldn't tell if she just didn't care about his answer or if it was simply the kind of answer she was expecting. Although she wasn't the kind of 'sugar-coating' person that he half expected her to be, she was still a lot of fun to be around.

Seeing how she acted in classes and in training, always smiling and joking and bubbling with positivity. Izuku on the other hand was exactly what she said he was, he was a wimp. Every time a villain showed up or he had to face off against one of his classmates for a training exercise he always felt scared or nervous. The two were almost complete opposites and that was exactly why he never expected to get talking to her like this.

However, since they started walking, they hadn't stopped chatting about this, that and the other, getting on a lot better than either of them expected.

"S-So Mina... What do you get up to in your spare time?" Izuku asked, stuttering out his attempt to keep the conversation he was enjoying so much, going.

"My free time? Nothing much, any chance I get I try and meet with the girls or just go out and do something. I think the only problem I have is that I never keep track of time, so by the time I get home from doing whatever it is I've decided to do that day, I never have a chance to study." She replied with a shrug. It wasn't the most detailed description, but it was pretty much on par with what he guessed her past time would've been.

"What about you? I doubt you get up too much either huh?" She asked giving him a cheeky grin from over her shoulder.

"N-Not really... I mostly just study..." He replied. Now he'd said it out loud he realized how boring he was, the most interesting thing he did in his free time was study, what riveting conversation he'd created.

"Ahahaha! What, that's it? Come on I wasn't actually being serious. You must do other stuff." She pushed the questioning a little more, taking her hands from the back of her neck and turning to him with a curious smile.

"Uhh... I-I lift weights when I study..." He replied, hoping that it was enough to satisfy her curiosity. He still knew it was a pretty boring answer, but it was true, he never really did anything else on his days off. Sure, he and his mother went out together when the felt like they had a reason too, but other than that he spent most of his time just training.

"Ya lift weights huh?" She asked curiously with a mischievous smirk before scanning him up and down. "I didn't take ya for the fitness type Midoriya." She added with a smile.

He shrugged in response and smiled at the floor again as the train station finally came into view.

"Hey, do you mind if I borrow your phone for a second? I want to check the train times just to make sure I haven't missed my train home." She asked, turning to him and tapping her fingers together awkwardly.

"Oh y-yeah sure, it's in my bags front pocket." He replied, twisting his body slightly to indicate his rucksack.

"Ahh, thank you!" She sighed, clapping her hands together before getting behind him and unzipping his bag, pulling out his phone and slowing down just a little as she unlocked it and looked for her train times.

"What! Aww come oooooon!" She cried, sighed and throwing her head back letting her arms hang loosely at her sides.

"What happened?" Izuku asked quickly, stopping a few seconds after she did and turning to her with a worried expression.

"My trains been cancelled, and my house is sooo faaaaaaaaaar away." She complained with an irritated hold on her words. Izuku screwed up his face and thought for a moment; there could always be a bus that goes to the same place near where he lived, maybe she could catch the train with him and find a bus somewhere near by the station once they arrived there? Yeah that could work.

"What number is your train?" He asked with a pondering frown.

"X-Seventy-three." She replied with a heavy, exaggerated sigh. The gods must've been looking down on them because luckily for Mina, there was a bus that took the same route as that train, albeit a little longer of a journey, but at least she be able to make it home.

"T-That goes to Tokyo's outer city station, right?" He asked hopefully.

"Yeah?" She replied, a small hopeful glint appearing in her eyes and a smile appearing back on her cute face.

"W-Well... If it's any help, there's a bus near the train station I get off at that goes there. If you don't mind getting the train with me, I can pay for your bus ticket and that'll get you home." He suggested. Now he'd heard his idea out loud it sounded a little bit like a terrible attempt at hitting on her, although that was probably his awkward teenage mind simply overthinking it. For a sixteen-year-old boy he often felt like an elementary schooler had more confidence in themselves that he did.

"You serious..." She muttered, her face slowly twisting into a huge and rapturous smile. He slowly nodded and immediately she leapt into the air. "Ahhhh! Oh my god Midoriya your legend!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands and desperately resisting the urge to hug him, instead excitedly waving her arms before skipping past him towards the station.

"Come on let's go!" She called, closing her eyes and leaning at him, yelling a little too loudly. He laughed and shook his head at his overzealous friend before rushing to catch up with her as she skipped towards the station, swinging her arms as if she had no bones in them and throwing them almost above her head.

Once down at the station they didn't have very long to wait before Izuku's train arrived, slowly coming to a stop with its breaks making a light but annoying screeching as it did.

"The train to Musutafu is now boarding. Please mind the gap." The automated announcer came through the speakers as the almost empty train doors slid open with a gentle hiss.

"Yay, train ride!" Mina cried, bobbing on the spot as the pair waited for a few of the passengers to exit, before skipping her way onto the train with an amused looking Izuku following a little way behind. "Here, I'll let you have the window seat cause it'd suck if someone bumped ya." She smiled, pointing to two seats in the center of one of the windows.

"A-Are you sure? I don't mind if you-." He stuttered, backing up a little with a smile before she grabbed his bag strap.

"Come on!" She insisted, pulling him back towards her and down into the seat before taking her place next to him, bouncing her legs excitedly as they waited for the train to start off again. She always seemed to be excited about the smallest of things, a good example being just waiting for a train journey to begin, but that was something Izuku was pleasantly surprised by and actually enjoyed about Mina, from the little time he'd spent with her so far anyway.

"The train to Musutafu is now departing, please keep clear of the doors." The automated voice came again before the train gently jolted and accelerated off down the tracks. As they travelled, Izuku kept firing occasional glances over at the pink girl sat beside him. She hadn't sat still since they got on the train and he was worried that she might jump up at any second and start bouncing around the carriage, for whatever reason that might be for.

She was also doing the same thing to Izuku, looking over to him every time he looked out the window. She was surprised by how much fun he was to have hung out with. She expected him to be deadly silent and really awkward throughout their time together and, although he was awkward, he definitely wasn't as bad as she expected. More so, she was really enjoying herself, not to mention how kind he'd been in helping her and even offering to pay for her bus ticket.

She caught herself staring at him and quickly looked away again before he could noticed and became an awkward, flustered mess. Even though it was amusing to watch she didn't want him to be embarrassed with other people around, it'd be funny, but she wasn't quite that cruel. She had enjoyed their brief time spent together today and part of her wanted to do it again. And that's when her brilliant, although not well formulated plan came from.

"Hey Midoriyaaaaa." She sang, slowly rocking in her seat to lean in his direction, looking at him with a beaming smile.

"Y-Yes Ashido-San?" He asked, the sudden break in silence seeming to have startled him a little.

"Can I borrow your phone again?" She asked, closing her eyes and smiling even wider, showing off her gleaming white teeth.

"Umm... Y-You never gave it back." He admitted, sounding like he didn't quite want to tell her.

He was right though; she hadn't even thought about it but she could feel his phone still clasped in her hand. She must've completely drawn a blank and mistaken it for her own but when she lifted her hand, it was confirmed. The phone she was holding was surely Izuku's, but it wasn't at all what she expected it to be. She knew he was a massive All Might fanboy but surprisingly his phone case didn't have All Might's face plastered over it. Instead it was a graphite grey case with a colourful and graffiti styled 'Plus Ultra!' printed on it.

"Oh whoops." She laughed, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly before opening his phone and unlocking it.

"W-What are you doing?" He asked curiously as she tapped something into his phone with unnerving and incredible speed. Then again, she seemed like the kind of person who could text an entire autobiography with her eyes closed in about a minute.

"Here!" She beamed, holding his phone out to him with a beaming smile.

He cautiously took it from her and looked down to the screen with a curious frown. The screen was left on his contacts menu and amongst the names of 'All Might' , 'Mum' , 'Uraraka' and 'Iida' , was a new name with two blushing smiley face emojis on either side of it; 'Mina'.

"There, now you have my number so we can keep in touch over the weekend." She beamed before gasping loudly again, almost definitely alerting some of the other passengers around them and scaring Izuku out of looking at his phone.

"What day do your bandages come off?" She asked. He felt a wave of anxiety come over him as he watched her enthusiasm and excitement progressively grow.

"Thursday... I mean t-tomorrow... Why do you ask?" He asked, leaning back a little in his seat as to further the distance between them as she pushed herself a little closer.

"Dude! We should totally hang out tomorrow!" She cried, her smile somehow managing to grow even bigger.

He felt his cheeks beginning to heat up again, none of his friends had ever really asked him to hang out before, let alone gotten this excited about the thought of it.

"A-Are you sure you'd like to do that?" He asked. His tone said he didn't believe her, that he thought she was pulling his chain but she was serious, she'd had more fun than she thought would've been possible with Izuku, even if they'd only spent about an hour or so in each other's company, she was enjoying him as her new friend.

"I'm serious dude, didn't you have fun just now?" She asked, putting on a fake hurt tone and a pouting expression. Izuku's eyes shot wide open when she said this, and he sat bolt upright in a panic.

"N-No! No that's not what I mean! I-I mean, I really enjoyed hanging out even if it was only for a little bit, I'd definitely want to hang out again!" He blurted. She wasn't really listening to what he was saying and instead sat there laughing through his entire apology.

"I'm messin' with ya Madoriya! God you really are a big ball a' nerves aren't ya?" She asked, gathering herself and smiling at him.

"I-... You-..." He tried to speak to her but ended up giving in and settling for a sigh and letting a chuckle escape. He could see why people found his anxiety so amusing.

"So, you're up for it then?" She asked hopefully.

"Y-Yeah of course." He replied, still with his usual nervous stutter as the train finally slowed to a stop in his station.

"Awesome!" Mina beamed, bouncing up from her seat and skipping down the carriage without waiting for Izuku to get up and out himself. It took him a little while to catch up due to the crowed the had developed whilst they were absorbed in their conversation but surprisingly, once he was out of it all, he saw Mina stood patiently waiting for him by the exit of the station, bouncing on her toes slightly.

"Oh, there you are Midoriya, I was starting to worry you'd been flattened by the crowd." She joked with a happy smile at the sight of her friend.

"N-No, no I'm all good here." He replied with a timid smile back.

"So then, where's this bus stop at?" She asked, turning on her heel somehow elegantly and looking out of the station window.

"Right there." He replied, heading out of the station towards a bus stop just opposite them.

"Oh..." She muttered sounding a little shocked she hadn't noticed it herself if it was right there. This whole time the two of them had been talking, Izuku wanted less and less their meeting to end. He'd enjoyed being able to laugh about his imperfections that otherwise he'd try and hide away, Mina made him feel like he could really act like himself. However, he couldn't help but wonder if he was relaxing around her a little too quickly, was this another thing he was overthinking?

He settled on the answer being a yes because Mina acted like she'd know him for years and it was kind of flattering that she treated him like a friend already.

"H-Here." He started, swinging his bag off of his shoulder and onto the floor, doing his best to unzip the front pocket and grab his wallet. It was a little bit of a struggle, but he managed without having to get Mina to help him.

He opened up his Pro-Hero covered wallet and pulled out three, two-hundred yen notes, holding them out for her.

"What's that for?" She asked, her smile falling a little, looking shocked at his offer. Did he really think himself that boring to be hanging around with? No that couldn't be it. She mentally scalded herself for thinking such dim-witted thought and changed her focus back to Izuku who still had the notes held between his bandaged fingers.

"I-It's for the bus, I made you come all this way so the least I can do is pay your bus fare." He replied nervously, smiling at her with an awkward chuckle. She was a little amazed at the kindness he'd been showing throughout their time spent simply getting home from school. They barely knew each other and yet here he was, urging her to take the money he was offering to her, she felt a very light but noticeable heat developing on her cheeks, but she quickly tried to hide it. It was made a little easier by the fact that the sun was well and truly setting now.

"A-Are you going to take it? The bus is here now so..." He muttered with a smile, looking past her to the bus that had arrived whilst she was deep in thought.

"Oh! Okay, thank you so much for this Midoriya." She beamed, taking the money from his fingers and hopping up the stairs of the bus, handing the money to the driver and telling her where it was she was heading.

"Oh umm... A-Ashido-San! Where are we meeting tomorrow?" He called after her as she started down the isle of the bus. She quickly stopped herself and ran back to the doors before the driver had a chance to close them.

"Uhh... Twelve outside U.A!" She smiled before the busses doors closed and she had to run back to her seat before it drove away.

He watched her with a fluttering deep in his stomach as she took a seat at the back of the bus and waved enthusiastically out the window at him as it drove off down the road, leaving him there alone. Even when the bus was far down the road he couldn't look away from it, smiling the entire time like the goofy nerd he knew he was. He couldn't believe what had just happened and now he had time to think about it, he was surprised at himself.

Usually he would have humiliated himself in front of a girl, a little like he did with Uraraka but no, now he was meeting up with Mina the next day and although he was absolutely petrified, he was also excited. Thursday with Mina Ashido, a thought he never would've entertained before now, but it was happening, and he was excited.

A/N: Well this has definitely been the longest first chapter for a story I've ever written but good god did I enjoy writing it! This is one ship that I'm totally up for writing a huge story about and I hope you'll bless me with your company on this journey that's about to unfold. If you enjoyed what you've read just now, then please hit me with a review and let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I did my best to stick as close to Izuku and Mina's personalities as I could, but it was a little difficult as they're not personalities I've ever written before, I hope I did well!

Any who, thank you for reaching chapter one and I hope I'll see you in chapter two! Take care!
