"Do ... you have an idea in mind?"
"I actually do," Shoji assured with a warm smile.
"What is it?" Mineta asked.
"What if you came over to my place?" Shoji suggested.
Mineta immediately felt his face heat up. He silently prayed that Shoji wouldn't notice. "A-Are you sure? I don't want to intrude-"
"Of course I'm sure," Shoji cut in. "I want to help however I can. Think about it. After an attack like that, he might still be after you. You coming to UA might be obvious. But if you went to a classmate, you'd be safer."
Mineta let this logic sink in. He DID have a point.
"My mom won't mind at all, either. She's a very understanding woman," Shoji added.
"Yeah, but ... wouldn't you still have to let her know?" Mineta asked.
"I would. Let me text her real quick," Shoji said, pulling out his phone.
Mineta nodded in understanding and watched his crush tap away on his phone.
I can't believe he just offered to let me stay at his place! I'm nervous, but at the same time, I'm excited! I can't believe I'm about to meet his family! And we're not even together yet!
No. Don't think too far ahead like that. I still don't know how he feels about me.
"She says she wants to talk to you, so she's going to call," Shoji said, snapping Mineta out of his thoughts.
"Okay. I'm fine with that," Mineta agreed.
Before long, Shoji got his mom on the phone. He also put her on speaker so that they can both talk.
"Hey, Mom."
"Hello, Mezo! Is your friend there?" A friendly sounding voice said on the other end.
"Yeah, he's here," Shoji confirmed. He nodded to Mineta, encouraging him to say something.
Okay ... no big deal! Just ... talking to my crush's mom for the first time! Mineta told himself. "Hey, Mrs. Shoji!" Nailed it!
"Mezo told me you'd gotten hurt and you need a place to stay."
"Y-Yeah. That's right," Mineta said with a sad sigh.
"Well, I'm not gonna ask for details. Why don't you come over? So we can talk face to face?"
Once again, Mineta's face turned red, but he tried his best to hide it. "Yeah! I'd like that!" AJDHDBSODJSBCOQKX
"All right, then! I'll see you two soon!"
"Bye, Mom."
"Bye, Mrs. Shoji."
With that, Shoji hung up.
"I'll go see if you have the ok to leave," Shoji said.
"All right. I'll wait here," Mineta replied.
Shoji nodded and walked out the door of his room.
Aizawa and Recovery Girl were waiting outside.
"How's he doing?" Aizawa asked.
"Better," Shoji replied. "Um ... I was thinking ... if it's alright with you ... would it be okay if Mineta came home with me?"
Aizawa slowly blinked in surprise. Then he smiled a little. "Providing him shelter, huh?"
"Well, I offered and he accepted. My mom's okay with it, too."
Aizawa took a moment to think about this. "Are you sure?"
