Chapter Five

Jirou panted, she ran down the street, it was already more than an hour, Kaminari would be home right? Jirou reached Kaminari's house, her breathing was heavy, she hid behind a streetlight and waited. She didn't know what, Kaminari could easily be home, but she wanted to know. Had Kaminari really wanted to be with Yukimari? Did all those kisses, touches, words... Were they lies? She waited, suddenly a girls voice became more evident. Jirou stayed still, preventing her hiding spot from being discovered.

"Honestly, you are such a dork. A challenge too, I've never had a guy who said no to me so many times, but I got you eventually." It was Yukimari, Jirou's eyes sadden.

"I mean, not really." Kaminari looked at Yukimari. "But I guess you were persistent. I'll give you that. You know how I feel about you Haru," Kaminari smiled lightly. Jirou's eyes widen, her heart beat made her feel like the world could hear her hurting. She covered her mouth, closing her eyes tightly.

"I guess, prove it to me." Yukimari, "Because--I don't believe you," Yukimari flirted. Kaminari rolled his eyes.

"How exactly am I supposed to do that?" Yukimari heard a light cry and smiled. She turned to see dark pruple strands of hair. Perfect. She thought.

"Oh, Denki..." Jirou opened her eyes and peered over, she felt herself stop breathing. Kaminari's eyes were wide, wait is that... Jirou?

Yukimari's were closed.

They're are kissing.

She's kissing me?!

I got him.

Jirou walked out right as Kaminari pushed Yukimari back. "Denki? Why would you push me away?" said Yukimari innocently.

"What the hell? Haru?" Kaminari yelled angrily. "J-Jirou..." Kaminari's eyes looked at her then at Yukimari, "you did this on purpose." Yukimari smiled. "Jirou, I promise you it's nothing like this."

"Shut up!" Jirou yelled. "I..." Jirou took a breath. "I really liked you Kaminari, you made me feel like I was actually pretty, but I was right. You just can't help flirting and getting involved with other girls. I'm sorry I couldn't be what you actually wanted." Jirou turned around to walk away. Then Kaminari grabbed Jirou's wrist. "Let go of me Kaminari."

"No, because this is ridiculous Haru kissed me, I didn't kiss her." Jirou gritted her teeth. "Jirou, Listen...."

"No!" Jirou quickly said. "You call HER by first name, and I'm still just Jirou, you spend all week with her and can't even take the Friday with me, you think I can't tell when a girl is prettier than me? Girls have radars for that you know, or perhaps you only see me as some boyish, girl." Jirou said, she recognized how pathetic she sounded. "I'm just feeling sorry for myself, but if I'm not sorry for myself, no one else would be. Yukimari has been taking you away from me, damn it Kaminari, I love you. Every time I see you my hear races and all I want to do is kiss you. And it took a week of pain and being ignored to realize that, I wanted to know it wasn't true. But you guys kissed, kissed!" Her rant was loud but all Kaminari heard was "I love you—"

Kaminari grabbed Jirou's shoulders. "K-Kaminari I said—!"

"Kyoka Jirou, I absolutely love you." Jirou's eyes widen. "With my entire self, you can't say that what I feel for you isn't real, or anything that dumb. You are everything I want, everything I need." Kaminari slid down on his knees and held Jirou's hands. "I need you to believe me, believe me that I would never kiss another girl, especially one that has done nothing but trick me up to now. The only girl I want to kiss... and love... and cherish is you..."

"I'm sorry Kami..." Jirou pulled her hands away. "I just, I don't think I can..."

"Kyoka, I love you. Please." Kaminari sat on his knees in front of Jirou. He held her ankles, leaning his head on her stomach. "Please, believe me. I've never ever tried to hurt you, and never would I even."

"You kissed her." Jirou's eyes had tears, they slid down her cheek. Kaminari's eyes began welling up with tears. "You kissed her," Kaminari shook his head. His hands reaching to hold Jirou by her shirt lining.

"I didn't. Yukimari, tell her." Kaminari looked over at Yukimari, she looked horrified. Her eyes were wide, as she watched the scene. He actually...

"I... I never thought a some guy could be... so devoted..." Yukimari looked at her feet. "Jirou is it?" Jirou looked up at Yukimari, even in distress Yukimari looked beautiful. "This entire month, I've done nothing more than take Kaminari away, and flirt with him and attempt to kiss him but have him block me. I've never heard a guy, not even my own father talk about a girl the way Denki... Kaminari-kun talks about you." Jirou looked down at Kaminari who had his face buried in her shirt, muttering 'I love you' over and over. So many emotions were almost incomprehensible to her. "He's not lying, I kissed him because I knew he was there, I kept harassing him all week to spend time with me, and he said the only reason he didn't ignore me to spend time with you was because he recognized how terrible it feels to promise something and not keep that promise. He said he learned that from you," Yukimari stayed, small tears appearing in her eyes. Jirou cried out, before kneeling down in front of Kaminari. Jirou cupped Kaminari's face, red from the tears and puffy eyes. He looked tired and heartbroken, a face she never ever wanted to see again. "I've used my quirk for so many horrible things, I've caused so many problems, but if you are going to curse anyone... or hate someone... hate me... Kaminari-kun, has been nothing but loyal to you... even if you guys never decided having been boyfriend and girlfriend, he always recognized that he loved you." Jirou listened to these words and pressed a small kiss against Kaminari's cheek, a small spark. Then she pressed a longer, sweeter kiss on his lips—one he immediately leaned into. The lightning, and sparks, that gut feeling that it all felt right... it was there. It never left.

"Kami—Denki..." Kaminari looked up at Jirou. "I love you."

Kaminari smiled, his eyes lovingly looked at her.

"Kyoka, I love you too. Will you be my girlfriend?" Jirou giggled through her tears.

"I would love that."

The two moved closer and kissed, sharing the moment of trust, love and bliss.
