Chapter 4

Jirou POV

I hesitated when I grabbed Kaminari's face closer to me, kinda felt like I was bringing him closer for... a kiss. AHHHH JIROU STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT, YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM!!! I was trying hard to let that thought leave my head, but I couldn't.

"You alright? Your face is pretty red. You sick or something? You don't have to do it if you're feeling si- "I cut him off denying everything he was asking.

"No! I'm fine. Just a bit tired. I'm gonna have to do this quickly so I can go to bed and so that you can too." I explained. "Oh... okay." He looked rather disappointed.

As I got ready to start putting it on his hair kept falling back on top of his eyes, no matter how much I pushed it away. "I could tie up my bangs if they're in the way." He said. I nodded and he grabbed the hair tie on his wrist and grabbed his bangs and ties them up.

They stood straight up in the air, it was funny to look at. "What's so funny?" He asked. "Your hair looks weird." I replied. "Yeah. I guess the fact that it's just standing up in the air like that is kinda funny." He chuckled a bit and then looked at me straight in the eye.

It made me kind of uncomfortable, even if his eyes were a nice yellow sandy color. What makes them better is when he used his quirk, and you could see the electricity flowing in those eyes of his. "You have really pretty eyes, Jirou Jack. Very nice color, never seen anything like it." He said, breaking the silence.

His compliment startled me a bit, I didn't expect it. "Thanks, but I don't think so." I replied, unsure of myself. "What do you mean?" He asked. I started gently applying eyeliner to his first eye. "Compared to yours, it's pretty plain." I was attempting to compliment his eyes by saying that, but he didn't seem to notice.

"I think they're special. Just like you." He complimented me once more, but this time I'm sure he was just doing this to toy with me. "Could you just shut up!" I said, trying to keep myself from blushing, but it was no use.

"Okay, I'll shut up." He stopped talking about started to whistle. I finished up the first eye. It took a while because he wouldn't stop moving. "The first eye's done." I told him. "Can I see it? Do you have a mirror?!" He sounded so excited, it made me happy.

"The only mirror I have is in my bathroom." I pointed at my bathroom door and then he got up and walked to the bathroom.

"IT LOOKS GREAT, THANKS JIROU JACK!" He walked out with a big smile on his face.

He sat back down in front of me. I backed up a bit so that our faces wouldn't be too close, but he kept on moving closer and closer towards me. "Okay enough. Stop getting so close." I told him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." He apologized.

"No, it's fine. Just gonna have to do this quickly." I said. He closed his eyes and I started working on the next eye. I was almost done until his phone rang. I stopped and waited for him to check who it was. "Oh... It's my aunt, I have to take this." He told me.

"Yeah, go ahead." I replied. He got up and walked a bit further from me. He answered the call and started to talk to his aunt.

Kaminari POV

"Hey Kaida, what's up?" I asked my aunt. "I was thinking... Do you want to come back home for the weekend?" She asked. I didn't want to go because the kids in the neighborhood hated me. "Is mom gonna be there?" I asked. I almost never saw her since she works all the time, day and night.

"I don't know, kid." My aunt answered. "But it's just gonna be you and me. The kids from the neighborhood changed, they aren't gonna be rude to you or anything." I could tell she was trying hard to convince me to come, but I didn't feel like getting beat up by that gang from my middle school.

"I know those people far too well, there is no way that they wouldn't beat me up or something. When I got into U.A... you know what happened that night." I was trying hard not to cry. My eyes were getting watery. I was afraid Jirou would be hearing all of this.

"Denki, I'm sure they won't do anything to you. If they do, then I'll try talking to their parents." Kaida responded. "Well, what if that doesn't work!" I was getting a bit angry.

"I'll have your mom talk to their parents. You know the neighborhood takes her very seriously." She replied. "Like she would even care! I'm not coming back this weekend and that's that." I hung up the phone and walked into Jirou's bathroom again to check if it looked like I was crying or not.

"Kaminari, are you alright?" Jirou asked from outside of the bathroom. "Oh yeah, I'm fine. No need to worry." I replied. I was blinking a lot, trying to get the tears to leave. "I'm coming in." She said. Before I could even stop her, she opened the door.

"Kaminari..." She walked up closer to me and looked at my face. She looked so worried. I couldn't hold it in anymore, so I just let the tears fall out. "It's gonna be okay." She did something unexpected... she hugged me.

"I don't know why your crying, but if you want someone to talk about it to... I'm always available." I was surprised by what she said. Jirou was never the type of person to care about some random idiot like me. I've never seen this side of her...

After thinking about whether or not I should hug her back, I finally did. It felt nice, it was warm. It felt like there was finally someone truly there for me. "Thanks, Jirou Jack." I hugged her a bit tighter than before. "No problem but stop squeezing me so hard." She let go of me, so I figured I had to do the same.

"Let's do your eyeliner another time. Go sleep." She walked out of the bathroom and so did I. "Okay, bye Jirou Jack." I opened the door and walked out..

Jirou POV

What was that all about on the phone. He said stuff about getting beat up and I'm pretty sure he said something like "Like she would even care". I was really worried about him. I hope he would tell me what's going on.

Okay so this is chapter 4. Thanks for reading, I love you all so very much ❤️❤️❤️
