Mineta gets harassed!

After dressing and packing up his things (that new notebook he got was way too big. He could just about cram it into his bag and it weighed him down drastically. He'd have to remember to think of these sort of things, the next time he goes stationary shopping), Mineta went through his usual routine very absentmindedly. He ate breakfast, thinking idly on the coming weekend and how to spend it. The weather forecast was good for Saturday, he recalled, so maybe the class could spend that day doing something fun out. A day at the pool or going out to watch a movie. That would be nice.

He noticed Momo coming down the stairs and joining him in the kitchen area. He was often the early riser, preferring not to waste time in bed (with morning wood) lazing about, when he could do more useful stuff. Momo, and the other girls for that matter, often left their rooms late. Mineta could only imagine what they were wasting their mornings away doing. Therefore, seeing that Momo was the second person down surprised him.

Then, of course, he remembered that it wasn't 6:45 (his "new" usual breakfast time) but 8:30 - 30 minutes before classes started.

Of course, he had somehow slept in this morning... right? Yeah, that sounded right. He had better hurry and finish breakfast. He usually liked to leave the dorms before...

"Hey, Mineta!" Ochako and Kyoka said in unison, as they and some of the other girls came downstairs following Momo.

Before the girls came down. Great.

"Good morning," said Mineta, feeling a little uncomfortable but trying not to let it show, "Did you sleep well?"

"Like a log," said Ochako, taking a seat right next to him, "Had some great dreams last night too. You were in a few."

Mineta blushed in both bashfulness and frustration. When they saw this, some of the girls giggled.

"I'm only teasing," said Ochako.

Kyoka quickly interjected, "She'd never dream about you," while she took the seat on Mineta's other side.

"HEY! THAT WASN'T WHAT I MEANT!" Ochako shouted at the girl with the audio jack quirk, who was currently playing with said body part, while she took in Mineta's tiny frame, while he was wolfing down his cereal as fast as possible.

"I've got to go now," Mineta said, looking at the floor, hot with embarrassment.

"See you there, Minoru," Momo said with a small wave, cutely and quietly, underneath the other girls snickers.

Once he was out the door, some of the girls laughed again while the others sighed.

"Why've you got to be so mean to him?" said Mina, not finding the humor in their teasing. (Well, not as much.)

"Oh, c'mon. I like his reactions. He's cute," said Kyoka.

"Not as hot as Deku, though," she added, with a breathy sigh, "but Deku's no fun to tease. He's so cool about everything. Mineta's fun to wind up."

"And do you think he enjoys your teasing?" asked Mina, a hint of blush on her cheeks as she imagined being Mineta's 'pink knight' and rescuing him from the other girls, who she envisioned as harpies.

"Oh, come on. Don't pretend you're any better," said Kyoka, challengingly.

"Y'know girls," said Momo, butting in, "Mina may have a point. After all, what if Mineta gets the wrong idea and actually starts... you know, flirting back."

All the other girls laughed in response to that, the very idea of Mineta flirting a wild concept.

Tsuyu said, finally: "Mineta's so sweet, pure and innocent. There's no way he'd do something like that."

"I still think you need to respect him, though. He's our classmate, after all," said Mina, being the least perverse among them.

Momo was silent. She had wanted to say something to Mineta before he left, when it was just the two of them, but she'll have to wait another time.

She had better join the others in breakfast. After all, it was already 8:35. They had 25 minutes to get to class. Why did jilling off this morning have to take so long?
