Movie

The first day of Aiden's internship ended in a flash. After returning to school, he found out that the video of him arresting the villains had become a hot topic and was trending online. Once his class found out about this they swarmed him like a bunch of locus.

Bakugo and Shoto had also returned from their provisional license training course with a couple of plasters and bandages. It seems like their training was more physical orientated than anything else.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Mina asked as they waited their turn at the USJ.

"What movie?"

"Dunno." She shrugged. "A romance?"

"Pass."

"A drama?"

"All movies are dramas."

"Then a horror?"

"Nah, they rely too much on jump scares for my liking."

"Hmm... What about a musical?"

Pausing for a second, Aiden slowly turned his head to look at the pink girl standing besides him.

"Are you for real?"

"What!?"

He shook his head. "Forget it, we're not watching a musical." He rejected the notion.

"Are you guys going to watch a movie?" Momo who was discreetly listening to their conversation took this chance to insert herself in the topic.

Seeing Momo approach, Mina's eyebrows furrowed slightly. After moving into the dorms with her classmates, the amount of time she spent with Aiden had been drastically cut short. The last thing she wanted was this prissy seductress seducing her best friend.

Unaware of Mina thoughts, Aiden turned to look at the ravishing Momo.

"We're deciding on what kind of movie would be good to watch."

Much to Mina's annoyance, Aiden explained their dilemma to Momo.

"I see... Why not watch a comedy?"

"A comedy?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "You can't really go wrong with a comedy."

"Unless its not funny." Mina mummered.

---

"See you guys later!!" Mina waved before linking arms with Aiden and pulling him away.

'Why is she so giddy?'

Disappearing from the eyes of their peers, Mina and Aiden left the school grounds in search of a nearby cinema.

Humming to herself, Mina let go of his arm and skipped forward before skipping back. Looking at the expression on her face, Aiden could tell that her mood was better than normal... He wondered how'd she react if she knew that he was sleeping with her mother.

Keeping those thoughts to himself, he thought it was better to not tempt fate.

---

"Whew! That was fun!" Mina beamed and stretched her stiff limbs.

"It was alright."

"Tch, you're only saying that cause you don't understand Japanese humour."

Not wanting to argue with her, he shrugged his shoulders and walked towards a vending machine.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Surprise me." She smiled and went to sit on a nearby bench.

Nodding his head, he chose a random fizzy drink and took a seat next to her.

"Here." He passed the drink over.

"Thanks."

Opening their drinks, the two sat in silence and soaked in the natural ambiance.

"This is nice." Mina smiled.

"...Yeah." He nodded and took a sip of his drink.

"Almost feels like we're on a date."

"Yeah."

"...Not sure how Pixie-Bob would feel to happy about that though." She said through a cramped smile.

"Who knows." He shrugged.

Having the conversation slowly die down, Mina twiddled her thumbs as she worked up the courage to ask Aiden a personal question.

"A-Aiden..."

"Mmm?"

"I... well... I mean..." Taking a deep breath, the pink skinned girl steeled her nerves. "Have you thought about our relationship since we last spoke!?"

"Our relationship? We're friends right?"

"No! I mean yes! I mean... Urghh! I mean have you thought about what our relationship could be!!"

"Oh..." In truth Aiden had been really busy lately and had completely forgotten about Mina's feelings for him. Now that he was faced with her earnest looking face, he wholeheartedly wanted to avoid answering the question but thought that she had waited long enough for him.

"*Sigh* I don't what to say. These feelings you have for me... I'm not sure I'm able to reciprocate them..."

"I-I see..." She bowed her head and squeezed her canned drink.

"Mina..." Seeing her tremble, calling her name was the only thing he was able to do.

"I'm fine!" Raising her head, she showed off her famous world-class smile.

"Mina I-

"Whew!!" She cut him off and jumped off the bench. "Today was fun, but I should get back before the curfew."

"Mina wait I-"

"Its fine!!" She yelled catching him off guard. "I'm fine... I just... I'll see at school." Holding back her tears, she took a step forward and left Aiden sitting on the bench alone.

"Mina..."

---

"Didn't expect to see you here."

Hearing a familiar voice, Aiden looked up from the floor only to see the figure of Pixie-bob in casual clothes standing next to him.

"Ryuko..."

"Hey Aiden." She smiled gently.

Losing all sense of time, he didn't even realize that the sun had long since set and the moon was hanging high above him.

---

"Here."

Taking the cup of tea out of her hand, Aiden thanked her and took a seat on the edge of the bed.

"How come you're in the city?"

After meeting her in the park, Ryuko took the opportunity to visit Aiden's house.

"I was visiting a friend from high school. But enough about me, what's got you so down?"

---

"Wow, you really don't know girls." Ryuko laughed after hearing his explanation.

"..."

"C'mon, don't look at me like that." She poked his cheek.

"*Sigh* Are you gonna help me or what?"

"Hmm... Well I've got to catch my train in the morning, but if you promise to satisfy me tonight then I wouldn't mind helping you out."

Seeing the perverted grin on her face, he understood where she was going with this when she said he needed to satisfy her.

"*Sigh* Fine."

"And you can't pull out."

"..."

"What!? Do you have any idea how many guys would kill to be where you are right now?" She humphed.

"Whatever... So how are you gonna help me?
