Side Effects [Shinsou X Jirou]

006

"Why do you want to know?" Jirou asked before walking past her, "I don't owe you an explanation."

Tsuyu blinked in confusion at her words as a small croak sounded in her throat.

'I wonder why she was hostile, she's right I was too nosy to pry, but Shinsou and Jirou? That's not sounding right.'

Tsuyu shook her head, "I'm not one for idle gossip but only God knows what's going on, kero."

~•~

Jirou sat outside on a bench while thinking about everything; hero work, Tsuyu, Shinsou. All the crazy stuff.

'I'm so tired.'

"Hey."

The raven haired yelped upon feeling the cold metal press against the shell of her ear.

"What the hell!" She turned behind while holding onto her chilled ear to see Shinsou with a playful grin and a can of some grape juice, "What are you doing here?"

"I don't know... I just saw you sitting here idly and thought maybe you needed something to wake you up." He handed her the drink and proceeded to sit beside her, "So what's been running through Kyouka's mind."

She sighed and proceeded to pop the can open and take a sip.

"Just some crazy stuff."

"Mineta?"

She chuckled at that, "Why would I be thinking about Mineta? Ew."

Shinsou grinned and looked up at the clear sky from under the tree they sat under.

"I wrote something."

"Uh?"

He sighed and rubbed the nape of his neck, she couldn't help but notice how his cheeks grew a bit flushed.

"In between training and studying, I felt the need to write something. It's kind of annoying on my behalf since I'm supposed to be working so hard to achieve my dream..."

Jirou stared at him, her knees brushed against his and she didn't know why it seemed so personal.

"... But I couldn't help it, music is also a part of me, it's like my getaway when things seem so difficult and the world is closing in on me."

He paused causing Jirou to widen her eyes, did she do something wrong?

"I don't know why, but I just felt like I needed to tell you about it–"

"–Can I see it?" She leaned closer prompting the male to stiffen.

He stared into her onyx eyes, mouth agape considering what to even say. Jirou immediately pulled back upon realizing what she just did.

'What was I thinking, it's his song, he might not be too confident in sharing it with other people. I out of most people should have known that, why do I become so forward when I'm around him.'

"Yeah..." He looked deep into her eyes and she couldn't stop her heart from racing, why did it always seem like this with him. Like colours, blushes and fireworks.
