She fell first, he fell harder - KAMIJIROU

Cleaning time

The final bell rang, Kaminari was preparing to head out however he was stopped by his home room teacher Mr. Aizawa.
"Don't leave just yet, look at the cleaning schedule, both of you are to clean the classroom before leaving."  He said with a grim voice causing kaminari to groan. "Really! I wanted to head on out sir!" Replying bluntly the glum teacher shriveled into his sleeping bag "You're not the only one who wanted to head home" he looks at Jiro who is already grabbing a broom and dustpan causing kaminari to look at her. "I guess I'll leave you both to it." As the teacher rolled off, kaminari begins to smile uncontrollably. He didn't understand as to why but he knew cleaning wouldn't be that bad especially since she was there.

"Jiro! I guess we're together once more huh~" he said in a flirty tone. The girl who was still trying to keep her strict boundaries, tried to play no mind to his flirting and responded with her usual "mmhm." She couldn't trust him yet, especially since he'd always talk to girls this way. Kaminari grabbed for a rag "aww, cmon Jiro I get cleaning isn't that fun, but I was getting real excited when I found out I'm cleaning with you!" He said with light feet still smiling at her as she purposely looked away. However she did put emphasis to his infatuation with cleaning with her of all people, however knowing him she thought to put no mind to it "he's like that to everyone Jiro, you're not special." She thought to herself.

In an attempts of defence, she decided to tease him as to forget her negative thoughts easing the tension. "Hm? Why me of all people? I'm sure you'd be excited if any girl was cleaning with you."
"What! No way! You're so cool and mysterious, I need to know more about you." He said as he wiped down the tables. Jiro stoped sweeping for a moment "What would you need to know about me anyway?"
"Well... I'm still trying to be your friend after all, and as you said. If we got closer, we'd be besties!" He giggled at his words, Jiro's stomach just twisted as she cringed on the impact of his words.

They fell silent for a moment, kaminari unbothered by the awkward tension while Jiro stressfully dusted the room. As kaminari made his way to Jiro's desk he saw the drawer below the desk slightly open. He noticed a few CD's tucked inside and opened the drawer to rummage around. "Aw cool you like deaf tones too? Ooh and Arctic monkeys, wow even nirvana! I love nirvana!" He rummaged through some more of the CD's she tucked inside her under desk causing her to run towards her desk. "HEY QUIT SNOOPING AROUND MY STUFF! And of course you like nirvana, everyone does." she blushed in embarrassment as she grabbed her CD's out of his hands to store them back into the drawer. Kaminari looked at the jumpy girl in a slight shock "Huh? I was gonna put them back in I swear!" Disappointed he tried to peek into the drawer again to see the other CD's she had. "Yeah right..." she said walking back to grab a mop. "What I think it's so cool you listen to this punk rock stuff! It's really your vibe, I should've know haha!" She rolled her eyes and turns her back away from him.

Kaminari took this as an opportunity to snoop around in her desk some more "Sickkk! You like Queen? Wow Green day! Ooh you've got some Paramore too!" He said in a curious manner. She turned towards him in a quick flash "Hey! Didn't I tell you to stop that!" She grumbled as he continued to ignore her wishes. "Aww cool! You still have these CD player things! No one has these anymore that's so cool Jiro!" He took a CD from its case and slapped it into the CD player giving the purple haired girl a heart attack. Pressing 'shuffle' on the player the song 'Good old fashioned lover boy' by Queen began to play. "I love this song!" He beamed at the sight and smiled at her, in defeat, she just let it happen and sighed her head down as she continued to mop the floor.

Kaminari started singing along in a very tone deaf voice annoying the girl slightly. "OooOoh love- ooooOh lovER booooYY" Jiro turned to watch him a smile stroked on her face as he swayed through the song. "Because I'm a good old fashioned lov-E-r boy" kaminari stopped after his sudden voice crack after hearing Jiro giggle at him once more. He smiled softly seeing her happy, he knew she was just acting tough and cold for show.
"What so funny Jiro?" He huffed a slight chuckle. "N-nothing" she stuttered trying to calm herself as she laughed.
"Was my voice that great?" He said smugly.
"Nope, quite the opposite." She laughed holding onto the mop's handle for support.
"What? Scared of my hidden talent?" He smirked as she looked back at him with teary eyes.
"Y-yeah it's really scary, keep it hidden." She said softly huffing her last few chuckles.
"Awww, well if you're so judgmental why don't you sing?" He said smiling at her.
"Hmm... you don't deserve my voice" he groaned still with a light hearted smiling expression."Does that come with the bestie benefits?"
"Please, you don't even know what my voice sounds like. What if it's the worst thing ever?" She asked smiling back at him.
"Who cares! We can sing badly together!" He laughed.
"No thanks! Id rather sing great on my own." She giggled back as she mopped.
"Oh so you're saying you've got a great voice?"
"Well.. it's not the best but it's better than yours"
"Prove it Jiro!"
"Nah, it's too good, like a siren's call~ what if it blows you away?" She said not realising she was basically flirting with him.
"I wouldn't mind some pretty siren trying to seduce me~" he flirted back.
"Don't get too cocky, the siren might stop singing once she sees you-" She giggled as he smiled back at the girl with the fluttering eyelashes and piercing smile.
The music started to fade as they both laugh at their stupid banter.

As they finished up Jiro hauled the cleaning cart to the storage room, kaminari following her. "You can go home now I'll take it upstairs." She said walking away, kaminari still following her. "Nah I'll wait for ya!" He said grabbing her bag off her shoulder to carry it. Jiro tried to reach for her bag but failed "dude I'm serious you can leave give me my bag back dude" he looked at her with warm yellow eyes softly relaxed. "It's fine really, let's walk home together instead~" annoyed she let him hold onto her bag as she hauled the cart into the elevator.

"I knew you'd be this cool punk rock chick when I first saw you" he said as he entered in the elevator with her.
"Yeah? Well I knew you'd be a halfwit idiot when I first met you" she smiled.
"Ouch Jiro! First making me fall for you the other day and now shooting arrows into my heart?~"
He smirked causing the girl to blush and awful red hue. "Dude... you're so cringe" she said nervously trying to shake off what he just said "you can't just say things like that you idiot!" She thought in her head. "Awww usually girls would be all over me right now!!" He joked as Jiro made her way out of the elevator. "Well you must be dreaming, I don't see any girls after you." She said rolling her eyes as she still had a warm face of embarrassment.
He laughed while swinging their bags around only annoying the girl even more.

As Jiro placed the cart back into the storage room, she held her hand out for her bag. This confused Kaminari, he placed his hand onto hers and held it and started walking down stairs. Stunned, the girls face was heating up more as her heart beat faster.
His warm hand grazed upon her light skin causing her to react out of embarrassment.
"N-no dumbass! My bag, give me my bag back dude!"
"O-oh yeah.. sorry." He let go of her hand and handed her bag over to her and blushed out of embarrassment. Jiro dusted off her hand and tried to hide her face from him.
Trying to play it off Kaminari decided to wit it out "sorry, I thought you were falling for me already..haha..ha..hah." He said nervously as he scratched his head turning away. Obviously it didn't play out as planned as she mumbled "idiot" under her breath causing him to worry about his chances of winning her friendship to be unlikely.

The walk and train ride home was awkward as it was silent, they still sat next to each other with butterflies both prancing around in their stomachs. As they arrived at their stop and began to leave the station, kaminari started apologising while sweating profusely. "IM SO SORRY JIRO PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" He bowed his head down at the girl as she just stared at him awkwardly. "Dude.. it's fine really, honest mistake." He ignored it and started to explain himself "I REALLY WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND YOURE SO COOL JIRO!" He began to bow down to his knees causing her to feel embarrassed yet bad about calling him an idiot earlier. "Dude I don't want to be forgiving you all the time, I feel kinda bad now.." kaminari looked up "huh what do you mean by that?" She pondered for a bit looking away from him "well each time it's you who does something strange and then I get a bit mad, then you apologise!" She looked at him "and I should apologise too.. I've called you such rude things and I'm sorry I really don't mean it sometimes.."
She crouched down "I forgive you, kaminari, you really didn't do anything that bad... it was just, weird that's all."
He looked at her red face as she avoided eye contact, the sunset's rays fell perfectly on her complexion, her deep purple hair flowing with the air, her eyes, fluttering through the light as her beautiful onyx coloured pupils shined through the warmth revealing a warm purple undertone.
"She's beautiful" he thought

As he started she looked at him, causing him to snap out of his trance. "N-no, I don't mind it when you call me dumb and what not, I know you were joking! I think..." he said as she began to twirl her earphone jacks out of embarrassment. "What I mean to say is, I've also kinda invaded your personal space too and I-" she placed her earphone Jack onto his mouth "shh dude, I forgave you, now get up we look stupid here." He smiled and they stood up. "So can we be friends now Jiro?" He asked with anticipation.
"Sure Kaminari." She gave into his goofy charms and let him into her life with open arms.

As awkward as it was, once they parted ways they couldn't help but feel happy about their new relationship that began to blossom.
