Sweet cute green obsession (copy)

LISTEN UP

"~sigh~ How can I get closer...?"

It had been almost three days since the last 'incident', and Midoriya was still trying to form a plan to deal with Jiro. At first he thought that she would be the easiest one to approach, but turns out she was kind of an introvert, not near his level, but still kinda hard to reach, even more for him due to the previous events.

The obvious route would be asking her to teach him on some kind of instrument, but she wasn't fond to show others her musical skills. Jiro had decent grades so there was no point in offering help with that. He could try and get to her with some tips about her Quirk, but that could raise suspicions since he never shared his opinions and notes to anyone like that. Without direct options he could always wait for a situation where the two of them ended together, probably during the hero training. That could get in the way of the training, considering the last time he tried, but there weren't much other options left, and he didn't expect her to come to him like Asui did. So be it, he would wait.

Lucky enough, on the next day, the hero training would be a rescue mission on the USJ, and for further luck, he and Jiro would be victims trapped on Landslide Zone. The house they were was almost completely covered in dirt and mud, a choice from Midoriya with the pretext of being a harder place for their friends to locate. All in name of the training, right? But in reality the place was secluded and allowed much privacy, and he hoped that the few minutes together with Jiro would be enough to solve the problem. One thing was for sure, there wasn't time for any lewd shenanigans, thought he didn't expect her to react like that.

So, here they are, waiting for the rescue team, composed of Tokoyami, Kaminari and Iida, to rescue them. Learning from the previous times, before an awkward silence formed, Midoriya went straight to the point.

"Jiro-san, there's something I need to talk with you"

"Huh? Why bring it up right now?"

"Well, the truth is that I couldn't find a good excuse neither the right time so...

"Oh. So, what is it?"

"It's... about Uraraka. I know things got out of hand but... ultimately you guys had been acting different around her, and I wanted to ask you to keep things like they were before. I know it's hard to hear that from me but, if you're going to hate me, okay, but please don't let that get to her. She doesn't deserve to suffer because of my mistakes"

Jiro just stood still for a moment, looking at the green haired boy bowing almost ninety degrees in front of her. Surprise was just the first of the many things she was feeling right now.

"Midoriya... I didn't want to keep Uraraka away, at least not on purpose. Had I really been acting like that? How did you noticed...? Well, of course you would notice..."

Jiro sat on top of a chunk of concrete, fiddling with her right earphone jack while she looked at the floor. She actually felt very wary whenever the brunette in question was around, and thought she didn't want to, she maintained a safe distance from Uraraka, after all she got completely surprised knowing her so divergent other side. Then again, she never really was that close to Uraraka, and even Asui, the closest to her besides Iida and Midoriya himself got really off guard. Jiro just didn't know how to react. That and other thoughts that plagued her mind. She looked up at the green haired teen still bowing at a straight angle and could not help but tilt her head to the side while a small smile formed on her lips. Uraraka was right, he wouldn't harm a fly if it wasn't a villain.

"Hey, Midoriya, don't worry okay? You don't have to apologise, after all it was us that ended ignoring her. We should not have stuck our noses where they didn't belong"
