Since the first time they met back at the Sports Festival, she instantly got a liking to him. He drew a lot of attention so he was perfect to show off her babies, plus, he had much interest in discussing about pro heroes, so she quickly found on Midoriya a partner to share her thoughts about their support items and the ideas and projects she was working on. Yep, Hatsume Mei definitely liked being around him. And as the time passed and they spent more time together, she discovered that he was really fun to tease. She was aware, at least to some extent, that she could be very impulsive, normally invading other's personal space, but Midoriya always took the cherry of the cake.

Now that she thought about it, when he came to the Development Studio for the first time, they met via test blow up, one of the many unstable stages across her projects. She landed on top of him and didn't remember his name at the time, but she surely knew him. That panicked expression was unique and impossible to forget. She laughed internally whenever the image came around her mind. To think he got shocked at such a level just because her chest was touching his. Not only that, when she took some insight on his physical conditions, he shook on his place while she squeezed his muscles.

By now, making Midoriya jump around and squeal was part of the her daily routines. She particularly liked to squeeze her hands on his sides when she was pretending to take measures. He still didn't get why she more than occasionally touched and measured his muscles, and his face while he was holding still like a statue was priceless. Approaching him from behind and talk really close to his ears was one of the most effective ways to activate 'jumpy mode', but her best shot was that time when she landed on top of him 'by accident', blaming a bolt on the floor. She made sure that his body had as much contact with hers as the position they were allowed, and after seven seconds getting more and more red, his brain apparently froze.

"He seems on the edge all the time, hehe"

Right now Hatsume was working on a support item for him. By now she accepted that whenever she worked on something related to him, her mind would wander to those more trivial things. That must be because they were friends.

"Friends, huh..."

Yes, friends indeed. Not that she didn't like or get well with her classmates at 1-H, but the thing between her and Midoriya was... different. In no time she found absolutely endearing and impressive when he started to mumble at inhuman speeds, something she believed only she did until then. Such was their liking for heroes that at some point they developed some sort of mind link that allowed them to understand each other when both entered on rambling mode.

Also, the guy was a genius, not like her, but a genius nonetheless. His skills in analysing other heroes Quirks and the situations surrounding him, with the level of detail and precision he had, was something she described as a rare talent. But Hatsume knew for a fact that it was the fruit of years of studies and research. He shared with her many of the annotations he had been recording so neatly on the notebooks he had. One could work wonders with that incredible amount of high quality information. She found out later that this was his main activity during his childhood. She could totally relate.

When she was a kid, Hatsume already had an inclination to build things, rather breaking them and putting them back together. When the other kids on the kindergarten wanted to watch their TV shows, the small pink haired girl wanted to crack the TV open and see how a box could show so many different images and make sounds. On primary school, girls and boys ran around the playgrounds and parks while she spent her afternoons at the junkyard, trying to bring an old lawnmower motor back to life. It was at that time that she realised that taking showers consumed a lot of precious time, much to her father's dismay.
