"Speaking"
'Thinking'

As the morning sun rises, most people would be sleeping, showering or enjoying a beverage. Alas, this was not the case for one Izuku Midoriya, his drive to become the number one hero pushed him further and further until most of his days consisted of nothing but training. However... There was a reason why. His mentor All Might had used the last embers of One For All that he had in the fight with All For One. Thus, he retired, and Endeavor took his place as the number one hero. So Izuku would train for days on end, doing nothing else besides studying, eating, sleeping and bathing.

It took until the third straight day of training for his classmates to realize he wasn't giving himself a break. Usually it would inspire them to work harder and achieve their own dreams... but right now, they worried for him. He had done so much for his classmates in the past, they felt very indebted to him... But they couldn't think of ways to help him.

His friend, Iida Tenya, wanted to warm him about going overboard but felt his words would be ignored.

Ochako Uraraka came pretty close to talking with him a few times but she always felt she'd only be bothering him.

However, Mina Ashido was especially concerned, she was proud of her classmate but also worried about him horribly. She honestly had quite the interest in him, ever since the sports festival where he fought Todoroki and not only gave him a run for his money but helped him at the same time. She had always wanted to be friends with him but she could never get too close since most students already had their established friend groups that they felt comfortable in. Now, however, she decided she would dedicate more time to helping and properly befriending the poor green bean.

On the fourth day of straight training, Izuku woke at 5 a.m. per usual, making his way down to the lobby of the dormitory, in his U.A. tracksuit. However, the lights were on in the lobby. He thought it was strange given that he's usually the only one up at this hour.

He then made his way further into the lobby and noticed the tv was on, as he approached it further, to investigate, he quickly noticed a pair of horns followed by a familiar shade of pink hair. Immediately knowing who this was, he decided to let her be and get to his traini-"Morning Midoriya!" ooooor not.

Izuku turned around to see a fully awake Mina Ashido, dressed in her pajamas, smiling and giving him a gentle wave. "Whatcha doin' Midori?"

Izuku started to grow a faint blush "J-Just about to go out for my morning run."

Mina brow furrowed slightly "Again? You've been doing this for three days straight. You need a break, man." She got up and slowly stepped toward him.

"W-Well we're heroes in training right? W-We need all the training we can get." As Izuku spoke he was becoming nervous due to how close she was getting.

Mina put her thumb and index finger to her chin before saying "Have you... Had any fun this week?" She asked with a squint of her eyes.

Izuku was silent for a moment. He really hadn't done anything that could be considered fun, even for him. His silence spoke volumes to Mina, who suddenly took his hand and dragged him to the couch "No training today" Mina puffed out her cheeks.
