Chapter Four

About a month into the tutoring later, Kaminari had found himself really enjoying spending time with Yukimari, she was funny, and kind. If she wanted, she had her moments where she was incredibly spoil but it was kind of like dealing with Bakugou--except, without the explosions. Unfortunately  without knowing Kaminari seemed to spend less and less time with Jirou.

"See you tomorrow," Kaminari was about to run off toward the library until he heard Jirou.

"U-Uhm..." He stopped. Turning around, "its been a while, do you want to come over today instead? Aizawa said that Fridays were okay, you just have to let Yukimari know." Jirou had really missed being around Kaminari, they only spoke in class, MAYBE lunch if he hadn't been taken to eat somewhere with Yukimari, and he didn't even text her as often as he did when they weren't a thing, were they a thing? Because it felt more like Kaminari was with Yukimari. She missed his hugs, and the arm over the shoulder, his kisses. Their moments. Kaminari had made an effort at first, but then... It seemed that he enjoyed spending time with Yukimari more than Jirou herself. 

Kaminari looked at her.

"Sorry, but I promised to hang out with Haru," first names? Jirou's eyes widen, she felt like a tear would drip from her eyes. She held back. She pulled a smile.

"O-okay, see you." Kaminari smiled and took off. Jirou looked down at her hands, she hadn't even packed yet.

"Jirou..." Jirou looked up at the voice of her closet friend Momo, "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Jirou smiled. "There is nothing to be sorry about," she forced a chuckle before tears began pouring. "Kaminari just, doesn't like me as much as I thought he did. But I can't hold him... to..." Jirou's tears flowed, her heart felt like it shattered. Her lungs could barely find their breath, Ashido also with Momo, the three were there standing in the front of the classroom, everyone had already left. "It's okay..." Jirou stood up, she packed her stuff and took off running. And she didn't stop, not until she got home. Watching her go out Momo and Ashido stood helpless.

"You should've told her," Momo frowned. Ashido began to get angry. "Momo! You should have told her, you said you were going to!"

"Ashido, my cousin Haru... Like her parents has a special kind of quirk... Persuasion. This quirk allows her to convince people of anything, all she has to do is make them like her, even just a little, romantically, and slowly the person will become completely devoted to her. In America she had so many who were 'devoted' to her, Auntie and my Uncle were forced to send her away." Ashido listened to this, and thought.

"You're going to tell Jirou..." Momo was silent. "Right? That quirk is dangerous, and although I don't want to think that Kami would like anyone else, it is awfully vague." Momo bit her lip slightly. "Momo, what thought process does Kaminari need to be trapped?" Ashido asked.

"A simple: 'I kinda wanna kiss her,' or a 'she's totally my type' or something small." Momo revealed. Ashido looked back at the gate. The two were already gone.

"And that was a month ago!" Ashido stated loudly.

Kaminari walked into the library, there Yukimari was fixing her lipgloss, she looked over at him. Fluttering her eyes. She's still weird as hell, all week she's begged me to hang out with her, cutting into my Jirou's time. The entire month I tried to spend time with Jirou but somehow Haru managed to cut into it. The first week Kaminari managed to text Jirou, and Fridays he walked Jirou to the gate, and kissed her, but as of lately, he couldn't get a moment.

"Denki!" Kaminari looked at Yukimari. "Do you like this lip gloss?" Kaminari shrugged. "What does that mean? Would you want to kiss me or not?" Yukimari was having a difficult time. Kaminari rolled his eyes, so this is how girls felt when he flirted for no reason... Noted.  They sat down but instead of working Yukimari began scooting closer. "Hey, so you know how you said yes to letting me hang out with you today?" 

"I said yes to coming here and talking with you, but I want to go home with Jirou, I wanna kiss her!" Kaminari whined. Yukimari frowned.

"What is it with this girl, forget her! Like me," Kaminari rolled his eyes. "What does she possibly have that for some weird reason I don't?" Kaminari shook his head.

"Jirou is punk rock." Yukimari made a face.

"Ew."

"No, not ew. Awesome." Kaminari smiled. "Jirou is adorable, especially when she becomes shy, when she kisses me it's sweet," Kaminari continued. "Haru, you're a friend... I think, you kinda remind me of Bakugou, but way more flirtatious but I just could never see you as something more then... well a friend." Yukimari was upset, very upset. "Anyway can I go home now, I want to text Jirou."

"You guys aren't even on first name bases." Yukimari pointed out. "And we are, what do you think that means?" Yukimari asked smug-like.

"That I'm not in a rush," Kaminari shrugged. "I love Jirou, I wanna spend every moment with her, like before I came here she asked me to go over to her house, you know how much I'm dying to be able to go there and hold her and kiss her?" Kaminari explained before giving Yukimari a look of annoyance.

"Then.... Why didn't you ditch me? If you like her so much you should've ditched me." Kaminari looked at Yukimari.

"No, don't get me wrong... I thought about it. Oh boy I did, but then I remembered... I made a promise, despite it was to shut you up, I learned that if someone means something, you follow through."

"Lemme guess, Jirou~" Yukimari replied. Kaminari smiled.

Tears. In a curled up position on her bed. A dark sense of dread came flooding back, like the insecurities Kaminari scared away crawled back, was she just not as pretty? Was she not enough? Was it her chest? Maybe her short boyish hairstyle, her plain eyes. A knock interrupted her cries. She remained silent, hoping the person would go away.

"Jirou, it's us. Ashido and Momo." Jirou looked down and hesitated. After a moment Jirou sat up, then moved to the door, she slowly opened it, peering her head out. "Jirou, we need to talk to you about something." Ashido said gently. Jirou looked at her, tears still falling from her eyes, they hinted with a light pink and puffiness, the sight made Ashido and Momo lose their calm composure.

"Oh, Jirou!" Momo pushed forward and wrapped her arms around Jirou. "I'm so sorry, I should've told you sooner, but I didn't want to let my Auntie down, Haru always had so much trouble making true friends. but she's become so spoiled!" Jirou pulled away.

"What are you talking about Momo?" Jirou looked at her, obviously confused. Momo stepped back, Ashido step forward. "Ashido? Momo? What is it?" Ashido and Momo shared a look, and sat down with Jirou.

"Jirou, Kaminari's behavior... It's my cousin's quirk. I'm sorry." Momo stated. Jirou's eyes widen, she listened as Momo explained the quirk, and the only requirement. Ashido was quiet and looked at Jirou with sad eyes, "...And I'm sorry I took so long telling you this, but... I just wanted my Auntie to not worry about Haru, she was always a troublemaker, and if word got out that she was like this... Well then..." Suddenly Momo felt a gust of wind pass her. Jirou had taken off. "J-Jirou?!" Momo shot up, Ashido blinked.

"Wh-what...?" Ashido stood up too. "Where...?" Ashido's eyes widen. "She's going to UA!" Momo's eyes widen, the two began to jog behind Jirou. "She's going to get hurt!" Ashido gasped out, the two ran towards the school. Jirou wasn't going there.
