'Fucking hell this boy is heavy.'

Mina was currently trying to half drag, half carry Izuku down the hall towards Recovery Girl's office. After she had a quick flash of an idea, Izuku had just straight up passed out on the floor. Initially scared due to his…unhealthy habit of shattering bones, she saw that none of his arms or legs were in fact missing or even bruised, so figuring it was his new super moves side effect – plus the fact that he told her that, even though he has a habit of lying about his own health – she decided to bring him to Recovery Girl.

Leading to her current struggle of even budging the boy.

"Shit dude, I thought I was kinda strong, but apparently my ass can't drag yours anywhere," Mina grumbled to herself, trying her damnedest to pick him up and failing for the fourth time. Huffing, she finally just grabbed one of his arms and dragged him on his back towards the nurse. As she made her way down the hallway, she happened to see someone who would be reeeeeally helpful right about now.

"HEY NEJIRE! CAN YA HELP A SISTER OUT?"

The blue-haired girls head spun towards the pinkette, immediately floating over to her juniors.

"Ohmygoddidhegoandbreaksomemorebonesorishejustreallysleepyrigh-"

"Focus girl, I just need you to float him up or somethin' like that. Anyway, nah, he's just passed out from some kickass super move that he was using, but I guess it kills his stamina or something because after about a minute of him blowing stuff up, he just kinda…dropped," Mina tried to answer all the questions she heard, but she was more focused on making sure she didn't accidentally drop him and somehow break the poor boy. Quickly using her wave-motion, Nejire got the boy floating in the air at around waist height.

"Hey hey hey, he's wayyyyy buffer than I thought he'd be. Do you think he's a power lifter? OH! Do you think he's trying to look like All Might? I heard Midoriya's a huuuuuuge All Might fan and apparently they spend some time together, so it'd make sense." Nejire kept rambling on, but as they were walking, Mina started thinking about what she had said. Midoriya had spent a lot of one-on-one time with All Might, but she figured it was just because Midoriya was a really dedicated student who picked up extra lessons from the best hero in the world, especially since their quirks were so similar. 'Hmm, note to self, talk to some of his friends about All Might.'

As they reached the nurses office, the two girls saw that she was currently out of her office. Nejire, floating Midoriya over to an open bed, quickly left, saying something about meeting Yuyu at the gate for dinner. Making her way over to a nearby chair, Mina was struck again with how peaceful Midoriya looked when he was asleep. "Geez, is me seeing you sleep gonna be a habit now? This is twice in a row." Mina chuckled to herself, thinking Midoriya was still dead asleep.

Keyword: thinking.

"H-hey, uh, what do you mean second?"

"AHH! HEY, WHEN DID YOU…HOW LONG HAVE YOU…WHAT DID YOU HEAR?" Mina screamed, not expecting Midoriya to be awake, much less hear her say that.

"Uhh, right about when we were outside the door to the nurses. Sorry, but you looked like you were thinking really hard when I opened my eyes, so I tried to pretend like I was asleep." Midoriya yawned, sitting up on his arm but clearly still beat after his use of his new super move.

"Jesus dude, you could've just…said something."

"Yeah, but…" he yawned again, much longer this time, "then I wouldn't have heard that apparently you watch me sleep."

"I… well, ok, I have a good reason – I was trying to ask you about my dancing last night but you didn't open your door and I didn't want to wake you up so it's not like I was trying to watch you but I still kinda saw you sleeping and holy shit I really didn't think I was gonna have to tell you about this," Mina rambled. With her head still spinning about Midoriya finding out and trying to clear her name, she tried to explain as quickly as possible to make her sound not nearly as creepy as her first statement implied. She did not want to have Mineta's reputation.

Slowly, a grin lined Midoriya's face.

"Well, you know, if you wanted to see me sleep, you could have just asked me."

Mina's face exploded into a deep purple blush. Not only was that son of a bitch using her own words against her, shy, socially awkward Izuku Midoriya of all people made a flirtatious joke. Lost for words, she could only stare at him while he was clearly enjoying her not being able to come back from such a calculated statement.

"I…I had literally no idea you could even flirt, much less come up with that on the spot."

Slowly realizing how she understood his statement, his face erupted into a massive red tomato. "Waitwaitwaitwait, what do you mean by flirt? I-I was just trying to tease you with what you said before!" Waving his hands everywhere, Midoriya was trying to clear his name just as Mina was a few seconds earlier. Mina, coming to the conclusion that he was, in fact, still an innocent cinnamon roll, broke out into a Cheshire cat smile. 'Ooh, I can definitely turn the tables on this one.'

"Well Midori, since you're so okay with letting me see you sleep, why don't we have a sleepover at some point? It'd be real fun, plus we could actually find out about each other since you really only talk to Ochako, Iida, and Todoroki! I'm tryna be friends with everyone in the class, and you look like you could use more friends." Smiling widely, Mina leaned over towards him, trying to convince him to take up her offer.

Midoriya's head was literally steaming. 'A SLEEPOVER? WITH A GIRL? IS THIS EVEN LEGAL?'

"So, whaddya say?"

"I-I guess it couldn't hurt. A-anyway, what was the idea you had in the gym?" Clearly trying to change the subject, Midoriya shifted over to what Mina had said earlier in regard to his new super move.

"I see you trying to avoid this my dude, but because I'm nice, I'll let it slide…for now. But yeah, my idea earlier was since you don't have the stamina to use your new move for long, I was thinking I could start teaching you how to breakdance, since it's a really tiring way to move. So, if you can pull off breakdancing, it might help you deal with how tired it makes you."

Thinking about the offer, Midoriya realized that doing different forms of exercise would help with his stamina issues, not to mention that breakdancing might be able to help how stiff and predictable his Shoot Style still was. And Mina, while being extremely teasing in nature, clearly meant to help with her offer.

"That's…actually a really good idea. Weight training is really just for muscle building, and our hero training classes focus more on containment fighting then actual mobility and creativity. If it's not a problem for you, I'd actually enjoy learning how to breakdance." 'Even though I have two left feet and have never danced before, much less with someone else.' Mina smiled brightly, clearly excited over his decision to take her up on it.

"Yeah dude, it's no prob! I wouldn't have offered if I couldn't." Hopping up from the chair, Mina walked over to Midoriya's bed. "Hey, do you have your phone on you?" Patting his pants, he managed to find his phone in one of his pockets. Confused, he held it in front of him, not understanding what she wanted with it. Quickly snatching it out of his hand, she managed to unlock what he thought was a really strong password – "Really my dude? 'All Might'? That's not even slick." "Hey! I thought it was better than using four numbers!" – she quickly typed something into his phone.

As he got his phone back, he happened to see his contacts list go from 7 to 8, with one he didn't recognize, just being a bunch of pink emojis. "Uh Ashido, what did you do?"

"Gave you my number, duh. Gotta let you know when I have time to teach you, right?" Mina said, tilting her head to the side.

"Yeah, no, I figured that part out," 'FUCK THIS IS THE SECOND GIRL'S NUMBER THAT I'VE GOTTEN IN MY LIFE!' "…I was more referring to the contact name, or uh, lack of one." Pulling up the contact to show her, there was no name, just a bunch of pink circles and hearts.

"Oh yeah, that's just the contact name I give to all my friends, 'cuz, ya know, Pinky? Pink emojis? Makes sense," Mina laughed it off, giving a small smile towards her newly minted friend.

Finally, Recovery Girl showed up to the nurse's office and shooed Mina away in order to take care of her #1 patient (and not in a good way). Midoriya, after being released from the nurses overbearing care, sent a text to the new addition to his tight, albeit small, friend group.

Midoriya: Hey, it's Midoriya! Just wanted to text you so you had my number.

Thinking back to the early part of his conversation with Mina, 'Thank God I was able to play dumb with the first time she saw me sleep. Imagine if she knew I was awake then too, she looked ready to have a heart attack.' Nearly immediately after sending the text, a buzz from his phone pulled him from his thoughts:

Mina: OMG finally, took long enough

Midoriya: Yeah, Recovery Girl is really thorough, especially with my habit of showing up…less than well.

Mina: rip ya hate to see it

Mina: anyways i got u with a new contact name and pic

Mina: Contact – Hair buddy (picture of a broccoli stick)

Midoriya: Uh, I don't think I follow?

Mina: get it? bc we both have the same hair and u look like a broccoli

Mina: anyway just hmu when u wanna start learnin

Midoriya: Sure, depending on how much homework we get in class tomorrow, I should be able to figure out when I'm free.

Mina: dude you aint gotta be so formal over text lmao

Mina: but yeah bet

Mina: hey worst comes to worst u could help me with my hw right?

Mina: OH SHIT FORGOT U NEED THIS

Sent along with that text was a selfie of Mina in her workout gear, clearly ready to go practice some more breakdancing. 'Mom, I'm moving up in the world. First I was quirkless, then I got a quirk from All Might himself, and now I have not one, but TWO friends who happen to be girls. AND I CAN HOLD REAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.'

Forgetting the fact that with Ochako and Mina, they were the ones carrying the conversation if it didn't have something to do with heroes.

Mina: u need a contact pic and i didnt have one when i gave u my #

Mina: tho if u want more all u gotta do is ask ;P

Mina: wait that sounded weird

Mina: fuck it we rollin with it

Midoriya: LOL, yeah don't worry, I made it your contact pic.

Mina: bro how tf you sound like Iida over text

Midoriya couldn't help but laugh, actually looking forward to spending time with his new friend and finding out about her.

A much better way to end the night then last, to say the least.

A/N: Four.

Four rewrites trying to make this goddamn chapter fit with the last three. Fucking hell my writing style has become way different, but hopefully it still meshes with the previous chapters since I do love the idea of this fic and want to make it work. I had to cut it off at about 2k words because anything longer than that just did not end well (at one point I got up to like 7k and I was losing my mind(still need a beta btw, clearly my time management skills are nonexistent)). Anyway, I'm relatively proud of how this chapter went as it was (in my mind) a decent transition from weird vibes to oh shit they friends now, seeing as I kinda set myself up for failure, and THEN building a new computer and losing my old outline for this story didn't help.

It's 3 am. Help. Also msg me on discord if you have questions or ideas or wanna beta or idfk wanna play valorant with me or some shit - TwistedSaiyan110#9898

Peace.

New chapter in 1-2 weeks if I don't yeet myself into the ocean first.
