Chapter Text
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEE-
"Ughashah.." Mineta slammed his hand over his alarm, swiping his thumb repeatedly over the snooze button. Light seeped through the darkroom through the blinds, making a small rainbow effect on his face. He blocked the ray of sun that was scorching his eye and squinted to the calendar of cats he had got for Mr. Aizawa but decided to keep instead. Wednesday. Not horrible, but not really great either by Mineta's standards. He got up from his twin bed and stretched his legs, looking into his dresser for his uniform. He rummaged through and found his clothes with a sigh. He slipped his pants and shirt on, noticing it was a bit wrinkled. "I'll drop this by the dry cleaner's if I find money.." He grumbled.
He turned the doorknob and stepped out of the dorm room, looking around. On one side of him was Mina, Denki, and Ochako, and on the other side was Bakugo and Tokoyami listening to music. He felt his stomach curl. I don't wanna interact with any of them..
He reluctantly chose Mina, Denki, and Ochako. He slid over and waved s. "Hey Mina, looking fi-" Mina sped past him. "Don't make a gross comment you perv." She yawned, not taking it today. Ochako sighed and speed-walked to get up to the pink-skinned girl. Denki sighed and looked down at Mineta. "Sorry man...I gotta go." He laughed, giving him finger guns. Mineta understood why, he didn't judge him for it. But still, it hurt just a little.
After all, it was his fault. He desperately tried to appear straighter than a ruler, but doing that, he made himself look like a creep and a fool. He didn't really know how to make everyone believe it other than that. That's how his friends in junior high sounded. Although he was only friends with them for a short time, he knew how they thought. He thought that was how they thought anyway.
He shook the thought out of his head and walked into the kitchen, seeing green hair tied up in a bow. Tsuyu. He made a pervy comment to her on numerous occasions and felt bad, so at times like this, he tried to stay away from her and not make her uncomfortable. Surprisingly, she still treated him with respect. "Good morning Mineta." She croaked, pouring the oatmeal she made in a bowl. "Want me to get the cereal for you?" She asked. Mineta nodded. "Yeah, thanks Tsuyu." She turned her head and reached her tongue out to the cereal box, pulling it down and handing it to the boy. Mineta crawled up a chair and grabbed a bowl, pouring the food into the bowl and handing it back. Tsuyu reached over the counter and grabbed some sugar, pouring it into her bowl. "So, any plans today?" She asked. "No..just class and work." He replied quickly. "You seem awfully defensive about that."
He sighed. "I've got nothing to hide. I just have nothing to do, that's all." He explained. "Huh. Well me and Tokoyami are going to a music festival, maybe you should join us." She offered. "No thanks. Music isn't really my thing." He replied. "Okay then.."
Mineta walked out as soon as he finished and made his way through the dorm tower into the actual U.A building. The sun hit his globe hair and leaves crunched under his feet. Fall always was his favorite season. His mother always said she fell in love in Fall. Maybe he would too.
But who do I want to be with..?
Obviously, no one here would be with him, but it couldn't hurt to imagine..right?
He sat down in class and let his mind wander a bit. His eyes drifted towards Mina. A fierce lady to take away all my problems and take care of me.. He liked the idea of her. Ochako..she can send me into orbit if she wanted..okay that's a bit terrifying. Mina is terrifying too now that I think about it..so is Jiro and..
Then he thought about Bakugo.
Bakugo Katsuki. He's rude, but..he could protect me..
His mind wandered to him and Bakugo in a room, Mineta curled up in his arms as Bakugo ranted about his training methods. His skin warm to the touch. His lips right there to kiss, and-
"HEY GRAPE BOY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" A familiar voice hissed. Mineta snapped out of it to see Bakugo looming over him. "Got a problem?" Mineta gulped and shook his head no. "N-no, sir!" He said in a cracking voice, giving him finger guns. Bakugo looked him up and down before moving back to his seat. Tokoyami looked over at the two and raised his eyebrows. "Huh.."
Aizawa showed up late to class, like always. "Alright everybody sit down, we've got a new student joining us today. You may have noticed the empty seat next to the window that was just added. And much to everyone's surprise, It is not for graffiti. Welcome, Shinsou Hitoshi, who just transferred to the Hero Program." He announced.
That name sounds familiar..
A lavender-haired, 5'9 boy walked into class, his eyes scanning the room. "Hello, a pleasure to be here." Midoriya smiled and held out his hand. "Welcome to class 1-A!" Mineta looked over to the window seat behind him. "That's where he's sitting?" He muttered. Shinsou walked down and sat in the chair, looking at Mineta. "Mineta Minoru right?" He asked, his tired voice scraping his throat. He felt his face heat up a little. "Yeah, that's me.." He chuckled. "I'm moving in next to you in the dorms..can you help me unpack?" He asked. "Sure!" He smiled. Shinsou raised his eyebrows and nodded. "Alright.." He asked, a bit confused. Why does he seem so happy? I asked him to do a chore...maybe he is just disliked and I let him be around me? Or maybe he has different intentions..?
Mineta turned around and watched the bell until class was over.

Shinsou and Mineta huffed as they pushed the last of the boxes up the stairs and into the blue-walled room. Mineta flopped onto the cold floor, his white T-shirt coming up around his stomach. Shinsou snickered at him. "Get up." He demanded, picking him up and putting him on the mattress. He rolled his eyes and yawned, looking at the time. "Fuck, it's already 11..?" He yawned, curling up on his sheets. Shinsou looked over at him. "You can go to sleep for right now. I'm gonna unpack some more." He said blankly, messing with a chair and putting screws in. Mineta nodded and closed his eyes, slipping off into slumber.
After an hour, Shinsou joined him and laid on the other side of the bed. He looked over to him and sighed, putting a blanket over himself and the purple-haired boy. "..hmmf." He muttered, letting a small smile onto his face. "Cute."
