Strange Mineta! A Look Into the Past?

I woke up this morning and saw Momo, still asleep next to me. I got up and Momo woke up.

"O-Oh...Sorry, I guess I was super tired last night." She apologized.

"It's fine," I smiled, "We've been through quite a bit. Plus, that was the only time I got an actual good amount of sleep."

After Momo left my room, I got somewhat dressed for the day. I was still in sweatpants though, but I don't think we'll be doing a whole lot of anything today. Right as I left my room, Mineta stopped me. He was standing in front of my door.

"Oh, hey Mineta-kun! What's up?" I greeted him.

He grinned at me, "So, what'd you do in there? Tell me everything! Did you give it to Yaoyorozu-san? What'd she look like? How big are her boobs? Tell me!"

He was practically foaming at the mouth! I've never met someone so obsessed with women like this, at least I don't think, anyway.

"Wait, how did you know that Momo was in my room last night? Isn't your room, like, on the second floor?" I asked.

"THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT!!! WHAT WERE YOU TWO DOING????" He quickly yelled at me.

I looked at him confused, "Mineta-kun, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, don't play dumb with me! I know you! You act so innocent, but when no one's looking, you let out a darker side!" He theorized.

What's he so worked up about? A darker side? What?

"Well, if you're dying to know. We talked for a while, then watched some videos about cats, and then we went to sleep. Why? What's so important?" I replied.

He looked at me and dropped his head.

Mineta sighed and shook his head, "You just aren't cultured enough, are you?"

Mineta walked away looking pretty disappointed. I'm not "cultured enough?" What was that supposed to mean? I figured that coming in from America and knowing Japanese made me somewhat cultured. Maybe that wasn't enough to Mineta? Who knows, I should probably ask what he meant by that. I went downstairs and surprisingly, Bakugo was making all of us breakfast!

"Oh? This is new." I remarked as I sat down at the table.

Bakugo sat down a pancake in front of me, "Eat up."

I sat there for a bit and everyone else looked down at our pancakes. It didn't help out that the words "DIE" were burned on the top. How did he even do that?! After breakfast, Mineta stopped me again as I was doing my daily workout routine outside.

"Come on, man! You should've done something juicy! I bet she licked you up and down like a popsicle!" Mineta harped.

I looked down at him, "Nothing. Happened."

I picked him up by his head and I heard someone yell something.

"Are you alright?" Sero shouted over to us.

I looked over and saw Sero standing in front of the dorm doors.

"Yep! Everything's fine!" I waved at Sero and he went back inside.

"I promise, I will turn that head of yours into grape juice," I set Mineta back down on the ground, "So, what did you want to ask me?"

I leaned down towards Mineta and smiled at him.

"I-I forgot! Yeah, that's it!" Mineta ran back inside the dorms.

He's such a strange guy, but I guess I can't exactly go around being rude to him. I went back inside and found Mineta.

"Hey, sorry for freaking out on you like that. I guess I'm a bit cranky when I first wake up." I told him.

Mineta looked up at me, I guess he never expected that he'd be the one getting apologized to.

"It's alright. I understand that you'd be jealous of my awesome swagger!" He smugly beamed.

I just agreed with him, "Yep, totally, Mineta-kun. That's it."

Mineta laughed in triumph, "AHA! I knew it!"

I shook my head and walked away from him. As I went back downstairs, I seen that the girls, Shoto, Kaminari, and Deku were talking about something.

"Shh... He's coming!" I heard Uraraka say.

As I entered the common room, the first thing I noticed was Deku, was he holding his breath?

"Hey, you good, Deku-kun?" I asked.

His face looked about as red as a strawberry! Was he holding his breath or something?

"Oh, yeah! He's fine!" Mina nervously laughed.

Deku exploded, "I really really want to tell you something but as a friend of a certain someone I can't tell you so please forgive me!"

"If you wanted me to not be curious, you guys kinda failed." I told them.

I sat down on the floor next to Deku, "So, what's all the hubbub about? Are you guys planning a surprise party or something? I think I'm pretty good at planning those!"

Nobody said anything, was something going on? It had to have been a surprise party! But for who?

"Y-Yeah! That's it," Uraraka finally piped up, "A surprise party! But we can't tell you because you know this person very well, so we aren't taking any chances on it!"

"Oh, well that's fine! Can I still help out with it?" I asked.

They all shook their heads, "No."

"Aw... Please?" I begged.

I couldn't get them to agree, so I just dropped it. I wonder who's birthday it is this month? After that, I talked to Momo about what Mineta told me, I was still confused by it!

"Hey, so... Mineta-kun talked to me right after you left, he said I wasn't cultured enough, also he asked if I gave it to you. Did he give me something that I was supposed to give you or what?" I wondered.

"H-He asked you what? If you 'gave it to me'? That's what you said, right?" Momo responded.

"Yeah huh! That's what he told me. He seemed pretty eager to hear about what we did last night." I restated.

Mina sighed and cringed, "Eww, he's so gross! He's such a perv! Did he really ask that?"

I nodded and Mina got closer to me and whispered in my ear.

"He's asking if you and Yaoyorozu-san did some freaky stuff in bed, that's what he meant." She told me.

I closed my eyes and face palmed. Did he seriously think that I'd do anything like that?

"Good grief... I guess I can see why you girls don't like him." I laughed.

"Not liking him is an understatement, Leonidus-kun." Tsuyu added.

"Is he that bad? I never seen him fully perv out." I questioned.

All the girls looked at me and slowly nodded. Geez, I didn't think someone could make a bad impression towards people this quickly! I almost felt bad for him, if he wasn't this expressive with his perversions, he'd be a pretty cool dude. I mean, all of us guys talk to him, but even we can get annoyed by his fantasies. I got up and went to the fridge to get something to drink, I grabbed a jug of orange juice and poured myself a glass.

"Hey, Alyx! Could I talk to you about something?" Momo asked me.

I nodded as I drank my orange juice and I followed Momo outside.

"So, I've got a question. It's about someone and I figured I should talk to you about it." Momo told me.

"Sure, ask away." I replied.

She looked down at the ground, "So... There's this person that I'm truly infatuated by, except is more than just a simple infatuation, it's love. How would I go about telling them?"

"Hmm... Well, if I were you, I'd slowly work my way up to telling that person about it by dropping hints here and there. Then, BAM! You hit 'em with the entire thing!" I advised.

"Oh, well I've already been giving hints to this person already! I don't know if they've been obvious or not though." Momo replied.

I nodded at her, "As long as you at least make it known between you two, and depending on who it is, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"It's not Mineta-kun, is it?" I joked.

"Oh heavens, no! You couldn't pay me all of the money in the world to even think about developing feelings for him!" Momo laughed.

"Good grief..." I smiled.

Momo and I talked some more as we walked into the dorms. I learned a lot more about her. She's actually quite skilled with these things called "bo staffs."

"Bukijutsu? That sounds interesting! If I remember right, I was told that I was a black belt in some form of martial arts. Hold on, my sister noted some stuff on my phone!" I told her.

I pulled out my phone and looked in my notes, I scrolled down and found them!

"It says, Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, aaaand that seems to be it. Sorry, it's kinda embarrassing that I have to use notes for something that should be common knowledge. But you know..." I chuckled.

"Oh, I understand completely! You don't have to be embarrassed about it. You're really trained in those types of Martial Arts? That's actually quite cool!" Momo complimented.

I smiled at her, "Thank you, but I think that Bukijutsu sounds way cooler! Do you think you could teach me some stuff?"

"I don't see why not! Maybe you could teach me some things about fighting as well?" Momo replied.

I nodded in agreement. This was super cool, I was actually going to learn another style of fighting sometime soon! I think, if it's just muscle memory, I could teach Momo a thing or two as well. I leaned backwards into the couch and closed my eyes for a brief second. I opened them and found myself in a white void area. Where was I?

"H-Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out.

I looked behind me, in the distance, I saw someone sitting on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it looked like me? But... From the past? Wait, if that's me from the past, then they might be able to give me answers to my past! I ran over to them.

"Hey! Over here!" I shouted.

He looked up at me but didn't say anything. The look in his eyes, they had nothing but happiness in them, but his expression was rather blank. As I ran towards him, I felt hands reach out and grab me. I looked down and noticed the hands of different people pulling me back away from him.

"It seems as if you aren't ready yet, Alyx." He told me.

I pulled away from some of the arms, "Who are you?! Tell me!"

"I am you just as you are me. In due time, you'll be ready." He responded.

The arms of people I knew and didn't know started to wrap around me, pulling me away from him. I created an Overdrive Whip that latched onto the other me's arm. I gripped it tight as the pulling from the arms continued.

"Mark my words, I'll be ready, don't you worry about that. You better be here waiting, wherever this place is!" I yelled.

I let go of the Overdrive Whip and let myself be dragged away from him. I stared him down with a smile, he responded in kind. Right as it grew darker, I snapped awake, Momo looked startled.

"I-Is everything alright, Alyx?" She asked.

"Yeah... I guess I dozed off there for a bit, sorry." I reassured her.

What was that? That was me but... It felt so strange, why wasn't I ready yet? What exactly did I need to do to prepare for whatever he meant and what did I need to be ready for? Maybe I'll see him again, hopefully, and I finally get my answer.
