The sunlight hits your eyes through the window, warming your skin as you stir from your slumber. You sit up in bed, gently pushing aside the curtains connected to the bedframe, and then standing up to push the curtains connected to the window.

You stretch, feeling your body start to wake up. You begin to make the bed, tidying up the sheets until it looks nice and pretty again.

You feel something poke your leg - your dog, a small tan dachshund named Yuuri. He jumps at you, demanding pets from your hand. You laugh and oblige, leaning down to fluff the long fur of your little friend.

You move in front of your bed, between your trunk and TV stand, and into your closet. You need to get dressed cute today. Big things are happening today. After you dress yourself in your 'day out' outfit, you pick up your phone and send a text to Midoriya.

"Noo, I'm scared!!"

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle~!"

"Please don't put it in yet, I'm not prepared... Ngh!"

"Sit still. It'll only hurt for a moment."

"W-wait, ah! AHH!!!"

***

"See~?" you move the hair out of his face. "It looks soooo cute on you!"

The tears in Midoriya's eyes barely keep themselves from flowing out in cascading waterfalls. "They do... But it hurts...!"

You cross your arms, "Well, yeah it hurts, but you'll be fine! Just give it a few weeks and it'll feel like nothing! Just remember to take care of it! Piercings get infected easily. These should help."

You hand him a cleanser.

"I can't believe I let you do this," he sighs and shakes his head. "Usually, I wouldn't, but... I dunno, I guess I just didn't wanna pass up this opportunity."

"Hehe! I told you I do piercings for my friends aaaall the time. If it gets infected it's their fault. Thankfully, everyone's listened and I've never had a single problem~ Besides, you said you've wanted one for a while, right?" you giggle.

"Yeah. I saw yours actually, and I guess..." he flushed red in embarrassment. "I just thought I'd look cool with one...? You make them work so well."

"C'mon, no shame in doing something you want! You seriously gotta work up some confidence," you subconsciously reach up to touch your own dangling earrings, which are in the shape of stars.

"Easy for you to say," he gives you a teasing but sassy look. "You even have a tattoo."

"That I do!" your eyes widen. "You never mentioned it before, so I thought you didn't notice."

"How couldn't I notice?" he rolls his eyes. "You like wearing low-rise skirts, so that heart tattoo on your left hip is pretty noticeable."

You smirk, "Where'd you learn to make that face, huh?"

"What," he pouts. "I've always had it."

"Well look at you, all comfortable with me, enough to start talking back! Never thought I'd see the day."

He throws a pillow at you, snickering, "Haha, so funny. Shut up!"

"Make me!!" you stick your tongue out, grabbing another pillow and chucking it at him.

"Is that a declaration of war...?"

"Mayyybe~!"

"Wait, watch the ears-!"

"You little crybaby!"



Author's Note:

A short little fluff chapter. I wasn't sure what to write here, but I wanted something sweet to prepare myself for what I want to write next. I hope I'm getting Midoriya's character well, showing a different side of him than just the awkward nerdy boy. I think he's got some major untapped sass capacity. Have you seen his face after his fight with Bakugo in S3? He's got spunk, and I think he just needs the right setting for it.

Anyways, I'm psyching myself up to write something darker next. Wish me luck.

As always, if you have any suggestions comments critiques or questions, leave them here.

Thank you for reading.
