Everyone knows that it's really Mina who can truly, certainly, without a doubt get Katsuki to do things he'd never do otherwise.
It takes a certain finesse. The trick is the one everyone already knows - goading. It's just that Mina has perfected it.
It also helps that she never abuses it for others. She just uses it to get Katsuki to do things she wants - like get her the organic, vegan very berry milkshake from the store near UA, try on sports bras with her, let her do his makeup, make her smoothie bowls.
Really, she just wants Katsuki to live the soft babe aesthetic she knows works best for him.
It's in the spirit of that she tells him he hides behind his black clothes because he's still in teenage rebellion again his mother and he's a coward hiding behind toxic masculinity.
It works better than she could have ever dreamed.
They're all expecting Katsuki to start wearing shades of orange or his boyfriend's offensively vivid, color-blocked, patterned-to-hell clothes.
Instead, Katsuki slays in a whole wardrobe dripped in pastels.
He walks down in light-fade, ripped denim jeans paired with white sneakers and a powder pink sweater.
Eijirou about faints on sight. Denki takes a million pictures and gains several thousand followers through them.
Mina is so impressed but she holds off on complimenting him for now. He's just gotten started, she needs to make sure he sees it through.
And oh boy, does he ever.
For their movie night, he wears the fluffiest, coziest loungewear set made of fuzzy fleece. It consists of booty shorts and a full-sleeved sweater and is colored a dusty plum. Mina can't be sure but he also looks like he's wearing tinted lip balm.
She doesn't get to appreciate him in it because Eijirou can't keep his hands off and after ten minutes of sitting in his lap and being fondled, Katsuki's had enough. He drags Eijirou upstairs so his man can appreciate him properly.
Kyouka tells Mina she got some pictures.
Next up are mint green sweatpants drawn tight to show off his tiny waist paired with a matching cropped sweatshirt. He even accessorizes with oversized sunglasses in the same color and a matcha milkshake.
Mina grumbles but asks for a selfie while she has her berry shake.
She finally breaks when saunters into the common room in an ombre red ribbed boat-neck top paired with high waist petal pink pants that have little aliens drawn on them in salmon red.
He's also wearing a lilac choker with little tape emojis drawn on them and lightning bolt earrings. The look finishes off with his classic combat boots and a sharp purple eyeliner.
It's an explosion of muted color.
Mina grabs him before the rest of the squad can see him and makes him model for videos and photos to her heart's content.
Well, not to her heart's content because he’s starting to get upset and grumpy and it would be an actual tragedy if the rest of the squad doesn’t get to see this. They might just never forgive her.
But as she predicted, the second the squad sees him, he’s smothered in affection and cuddles and proclamations of love and Denki even manages to sneak in an actual kiss. Katsuki grumbles and pouts but she can see the way he’s hiding his smile.
She sighs dreamily. She just knows Katsuki is a soft babe and she’s so glad she was able to prove it to everyone and will forever have proof of it.
