Heartbreak Girl

calm down, bakubro!

maris

Wow.

I don't have a word to describe what USJ was like, but it definitely wasn't fun.

As I get on the bus to go back, I wonder how anyone can be in a good mood after that. Including Kiri and AJ, who seem to be falling in love on the bus seat.

To make my day even better, Bakugo gets on the bus looking for a seat. And the only open one is next to me.

Great.

He sits down, not even looking at me, but at AJ and Kirishima.

They're asleep now, basically on top of each other.

I look out the window. If I keep staring at them I would turn into the mess next to me. I can feel the jealousy (I think?) radiating off of him.

"Sucks, huh?" I say, still staring out the bus window.

"Hah?" He turns towards me.

I tilt my chin towards the happy couple.

"Watching them."

When he gave a confused look in response, I went further.

"AJ and Kirishima? Don't tell me it doesn't bother you. You're seething over here."

"No," he grumbles.

"You sure?" I ask.

I'm definitely playing with fire but wow is it fun.

"No...they just. They just piss me off. It's extra. Why would someone cuddle on the back of a bus? And, look how close they are! It's weird."

So absolutely no jealousy. Just some anger. Got it.

"Ok," I nod.

I stare at the back of the seat in front of me. I know better not to pry further. I prefer to keep my body intact.

"What did you mean by that?" He asks.

Before I answer, I start listening to his heartbeat. It picks up, like he's nervous. Or stressed. Both work, but I think it's the former.

"By what?"

Maybe I'm the drama.

"That 'ok'! It seems like you know something I don't!"

"Ok, well, I didn't mean for it to be like that, but will you promise to not get upset if I tell you what I think?"

He grumbles.

"Fine."

"I think you're jealous. You have a thing for AJ, maybe Kirishima, but more likely AJ, and you're jealous how close they are."

The look he gave me nearly killed me.

"I DON'T—I don't have a thing for Kirishima. Or AJ. Definitely not AJ. Why would you even think that?"

"Well, first, your genuine distaste when seeing them together. Also, your reaction to me telling you that. Which, to be fair, could just be your general personality and not trying to deny feelings. And, did you forget I can literally hear your heartbeat?"
