(ON HIATUS) Pinky hearts (Mina Ashido x male hero! reader

Flashback: Ultra Red

(Your p.o.v)

It was the day of the tournament of heroes, a tournament between all superheroes to determine who was the best. Mina and I entered hoping not to face each other, not wanting to hurt each other. We didn't know the fighting bracket until we were called. I easily beat Super Pete in round one. Mina beat Sparkling Hero...again...the exact same way as last time. The tournament continued until the final round. I heard the announcer over the intercom;

" And now for the championship match: Rainbow versus Pinky!"

My heart sunk when he said that. I Don't wanna fight Mina. But this could be a good chance to test our abilities. We stepped out onto the ring. We looked at each other, both mentally saying "No holding back." The announcer said:

"These two fighters are partners outside the ring. Let's hope this match doesn't sully their relationship." Nothing could ruin our relationship, I thought. She loves me, I love her. The match began. I turned Rosè and rushed at her and she acid skated towards me. We locked arms in a clash. Our auras mixed and fused, each one trying to overpower the other.

"So...loser buys dinner?" I asked her. She smiled.

"You got a deal." She said. We interlocked our fingers and started powering up. She started playing dirty, secreting acid from her hands. It hurt, but i pulled through, throwing her across the ring. But she recovered before she fell out of the ring. She flung acid at my face, but I shot a beam at it, vaporizing it. She rushed towards me again, as I rushed towards her. She acid punched me in the face.

"Alright Pinky. No more Mister Nice Guy. Time to unleash my true power!" I created an energy blade and stabbed myself in the side. Everyone gasped. Especially Mina.

"I can't believe what I'm seeing, folks! Rainbow has just stabbed himself! Is this an advantage or is he giving up? Let's watch."

My eyes and hair glowed red. It started to become spikier.

"I tweaked the headband so now, I can control how much power I can use in Red mode." I explained to Mina, still worried. I rotated the jewel as my aura exploded red. Red lines formed on my chest, exposed by my torn ge.

"Sorry if this hurts, honey." I said. I really didn't want to hurt her. I really didn't. But I'll do what I have to do to win. We charged at each other and started throwing punches and kicks. After 30 minutes of fighting, we were bruised, beaten and excited.

"You did good, Mina. I'm proud of you. You deserve to win this." And with that, I jumped out of the ring, forfeiting the match.

(After the tournament)

Mina and I exited with the championship belt around Mina's waist.

"Nice job, Mina! You did good!" She slapped my face.

"Why did you stab yourself? You could've died!"

I explained the Ultra Red form heals injuries in return for losing some control.

"Then why did you give up?" She asked.

"You're the most important thing in my life. I can't stand hurting you. Plus, I don't care about being the best hero. I just care about you."

She kissed me with a smile on her face.

"Man, you are so sappy sometimes..."

"That's a reason you love me, huh?"

She nodded, and as promised, I paid for dinner. After dinner, we tended to each others injuries, and fell asleep in each others arms.
