IzuJiro: Schools in, Rock out

Chapter 4

Izuku's POV

The rest of the week went by fast and the whole school seemed to be pumped for the BotB. It's currently the weekend and I'm at home working on my new album. "Izuku" my mother calls as she knocks on my door. "Yeah what's up Mom?" I ask as she opens my door. "I'm just headed into work, the hospital called me in, are you gonna be ok here?" she asks, smiling at me. I laugh "You always worry about me, I've been all over the world, I think I'll be fine, have a good day at work Mom" I tell her. "I know but you're still my baby boy, I will, I love you" she says as she starts closing my door. "I love you too mom" I call as she leaves for work.

I keep strumming my guitar, finding the notes for my song. It wasn't flowing well like it normally did. I decided to work on a different song, turning the notebook page and thinking about what I want to say in this song. Then something crosses my mind and I start strumming, lyrics coming to me easily now. As "i'm getting into the chorus there's a knock at the door. I make my way down stairs and open the front door. Standing there are Jirou, Mina, Toru, Asui, Ochako and Momo.

"Oh hi girls, what are you doing here?" I ask. "Well..t..the girls and I were w..wondering if we could practice here seeing as I don't have enough room at my place or enough instruments for our band, if you don't mind" Jirou says, rubbing the back of her neck. I smile at her, thinking she looks cute, Mina clears her throat as she and Hagakure smirk at me which makes me blush lightly. "Uh sure you can use the sound booth to practice" I tell them, waving them in and leading them to the small recording studio. "You guy's can practice in here, the rooms soundproofed and there's all the instruments in the back" I tell them, watching them look around in awe. My focus falls on Jirou and she looks like a kid in a candy store. 'Cute'. "I'll let you use this place but don't think I won't judge you the same as everyone else, call me if you need anything" I tell them as I walk up the stairs back to my room.

I continue writing the music for my song and before I know it I've finished, now to figure out the lyrics. "Hmm, I need to figure out a topic" I mumble to myself.

(Meanwhile...)

Jirou's POV

"So we should work on roles and learning basics for now, I think Mina should be on drums because she has the best rhythm, Momo you said you took Piano lessons right?" I ask. "Yes, my parents had me take lessons from 6 years old" Momo replied. "Perfect, you'll be our keyboardist, now who else can play an instrument?". "I've learned a few chords on the guitar" Toru says as she plugs in an electric guitar and plays the first couple of notes for smoke on the water. "Well there's one guitarist, I'll be the other guitarist, Asui do you think you could play bass guitar" I ask her. "Call me tsu and yes i can do that but i'll have to learn, and what about you Ochako what will you play?" tsu asks the brown haired girl. "Idk what else is there to play?" she asks. "You could be a secondary Keyboardist, Momo would you be able to teach her?". "Of course" Momo smiled. I look around and notice all the girls are excited. "Ok girls, let's get to it and win this battle of the bands" I cheer, throwing a fist in the air. "YEAH!".

(Time skip) Izuku's POV

I was still trying to find the lyrics but they wouldn't come to me. I ruffle my hair and let out an exhausted groan when I hear a knock and watch the door open to reveal Jirou. "Oh hey did you need something?" I ask, earning a shake of her head. "No, I just wanted to let you know we're done and the others went home already," she replied. "Alright i guess that means you'll be heading off too?". She shakes her head again. "Nah I don't have to be anywhere, besides I heard you playing, is that something for your new album?" she asks, walking into my room and sitting across from my bed on a chair. "Yeah I only have a little bit of it done though" I tell her. "Do you want to hear it?". She grins and nods rapidly making a smile grow on my face. "Alright..uh so it goes like this" I grab my guitar and start strumming "It's become so hard, for me to be surprised. You're bringing back the real me, no judgement in your eyes, it's the way you make me feel, like I'm finally something really. The words are hard to find, I'm gonna get it right this time." I finish and look up to see Jirou staring at me with a smile. "That was beautiful, who's it about?" She asks me. "Well it's not really about anyone at the moment, i just thought it had a nice message" I lie, blushing a little as she gets closer to me. "Alright well i hope you find the girl for that to be about soon". I gulp as we start leaning in closer, the room seems to be getting a little warmer. "I hope so too". Our faces were very close to each other, I could feel her warm breath against my lips. I watch as she closes her eyes and right before our lips meet. "Izuku i'm bac......Oh my goodness my baby has a girlfriend" My mother cried as she walked in and saw the position we were in. "Oh uh n..no miss midoriya i think you've misunderstood we're just friends'' Jirou blerts out as her face turns red. "Anyway I just came up to tell Izuku i was leaving". She turns to me "See you at school" her tone and face showing disappointment as she rushes out. "Yeah bye Kyoka" I called after her.

Once she was gone my mother turned to me. "Just friends huh?I'm pretty sure friends aren't on a first name basis after a week of knowing them and almost making out" she gives me a questioning look. "It's a misunderstanding, I sang her one of my new songs and we got a bit carried away" I tell her really fast. "Uh huh ok whatever you say, i'll start on dinner, can you come and help me?" she starts walking back down the hall. "Sure I'll be there in a minute" I call back. I flop on my bed as my mind races a million miles an hour. 'We're just friends....so why were we about to kiss?' i think to myself before groaning again and covering my face with a pillow. 'Damn it'

Jirou's POV

'What was that Kyoka? You nearly kissed a celebrity' i think to myself walking down the road. I slap my cheeks. 'Get it together, this is no time for a celebrity crush'. I continue walking as I pass a store and glance at the windows looking at myself. 'Besides it's not like he'd like you that way anyways' I tell myself.
