The Share of Ears and Eyes

{☆The Beginnings of A Playlist☆}

Mineta was 'studying' anatomy at his desk with a lamp providing light over his sketchbook while listening to music, his tastes being loud, fast-paced, and usually provocative.

He tapped his pencil's eraser on the blank paper, "Hmm, I've messed around with all the students in class 1-A but Midoriya," he grinned, one that every freshman at U.A. knew all to well.

The perverted student closed his book and laid back in his chair, "He usually has those Chinese earbuds in during class, so I'll just say I'm broadening his musical horizons. Then we'll share the..." He did a quick search on his laptop, "Airpods, and I'll break him in no time."

So the next day, that's what he did.

At the end of class instead of Ochako or even Shoto meeting Izuku, it was Minoru, "So Midoriya-san, how's your day going?" Acting a though he wasn't sweating bullets and about to have a nosebleed while asking that.

Izuku hid his scoff, "I'm doing well Minoru-san! How about you?" He was tempted to flick the shorter student's forehead, he probably wouldn't get apprehended either.

Minoru put his weight on the wall next to him, "I was just thinking; I could give you some song recs, real time though. We'd have to share earbuds," Izuku winced and Minoru took notice, "I'll give 'em back at the end of classes, and just for a few days if that's what you're worried about."

"I'm not really looking for recommendations right now," he tried to walk away yet Minoru kept him.

"Come Izu.~ Don't be so stubborn." He looked into the green haired student's eyes, pouting.

Izuku breathed deep, realized why people still go with his awful ideas, and flashed a smile, "Sure Mino-san! I'd be happy to try new music. How about I show you some more relaxing stuff I've found on the internet? Oh, and I get the first day."

Minoru shrugged in response, yet his heart skipped a beat at the shortening of his name, "Sure, sounds fair." Probably some mukbang content he's seen somewhat recently, that kind of stuff fell out though so Minoru wasn't too sure.

Izuku asked Minoru pull out his phone so he could connect his Airpods, the case was a light red, but not pink with red and orange leaves on it. Minoru only got to admire the design for a second before...

"Minoru? Umm," he looked up to see scarred and crooked hands holding his phone, the lavender cover with red eyes and a wicked smiled contrasted immensely with the soft feeling Izuku's choice of colour made him feel, "here."

'Your device has been connected with Broccoli Bookworm's phone!' The purple haired hero course student  pressed 'okay' and clicked onto a random social media site, "Cool. Can't wait for tomorrow!" He winked at Izuku and walked to the common area. What he saw was the frustrated look in Izuku's eyes, what he didn't see was the light pink tint that reached his cheeks.

He took a selfie with a peace sign, with a few presses the picture had been posted, the caption read, "Bouta have a good day tomorrow!"

Almost as soon as he posted it, his phone went off as he was continuing to scroll, 'Broccoli Bookworm liked your photo!' which was followed by 'Broccoli Bookworm commented: Excited to see what you have in store! :)'

Minoru chuckled at the implications and like Izuku's comment, but soon he found himself just smiling at the comment. Someone was enthusiastic about hearing about his interests.

His eyes flitted from left to right before letting out a light high-pitched giggle, "God I can't wait," Minoru stared at his phone screen knowing he wouldn't forget that comment... ever.
