It was a typical weekend at UA. The students of class 1-A were in the middle of their usual routine. For Izuku that meant watching the Hero Report, and taking notes on the new heroes. Normally he'd do this up in his room, but he'd been convinced by Iida to do it down in the common room.

"You tend to spend all afternoon in there Midoriya. You can study those heroes and interact with your fellow classmates at the same time." That was all it took to twist Izuku's arm and to set up at one of the tables.

What Iida hadn't expected was that Izuku would be so into his note taking that his mumbles would create a barrier that kept other's away. All with the exception of a curious pink skinned alien girl.

"Hey there Midoriya! What'cha up to? You're muttering up a storm right now."

"O-oh h-hi there Ashido. Just taking notes of some new heroes on the Hero Report. A few interesting ones debuted recently." Izuku was surprised by Mina entering his bubble. Last he noticed she was in the middle of being lectured by Iida and Momo along side Kaminari. The had done poorly on the last quiz, and they needed some tutoring. Looking at the other table he saw they had taken a break.

"I should have figured. Can I see?" He then turned his notebook out to her. Mina then briefly skimmed Izuku's writting; hoping to find something to tease him with. This had become her favorite past time lately. Teasing/flirting with Izuku was always fun for her, and his reactions always payed off. "Oh I see you have some notes on a new heroine. You even drew a sketch of her. Ever draw one of me?" Leaning over to put his notebook in-front of him; she even let her chest brush against his forearm. Mina had done something like this the other day, and his reaction was so cute. "If he says yes I can tease him for that. If he says no I'll ask him if he wants to draw me, and I can see what he likes."

What she hadn't expected was for him to ignore the flirtatious contact, and seriously answer her question. Flipping to an earlier page in his notebook. "Yeah I have actually. Your method of including dance moves into your fighting caught my eye the other day. So I sketched a few drawings of you. You were so quick Ashido; so I don't think I did you any justice with my drawings. See here? I messed up your face a little. You looks so much better in person. Honestly I couldn't take my eyes off you that day."

Izuku turned to face her when she didn't respond. What he was was Mina with a full faced lilac blush, and she had a bit of sweat rolling down her face. As they met eyes; her blush deepened and she ran to the elevators. He sat there in shock as Iida yelled for her to come finish her homework. "I-I did it again didn't I? I freaked her out by taking these notes on her."

Kaminari, who had been sitting at the next table, shook his head. He had watched the whole thing. "Deku how can you be so smooth and oblivious at the same time." Having finished his work he then got up to leave, and ignored Izuku questions about what he meant by that.


I received a surprise ask on my tumblr with the prompt of Mina teasing/flirting with Izuku and it backfiring on her. I was pleased with the result and decided to put it under Shades of Green as I work of Studying's next chapter.
