She fell first, he fell harder - KAMIJIROU

A happy house he longed for

"Are you alright, Kaminari?" She asked as the door was half opened. He froze into place as his heart raced from the running. "Y-yeah, I'm all right!" He stared at the girl, she stared at him with a tinge of concern, upon realising he had spaced out, he melted into an embarrassed expression. "I-I just wanted to ask for you phone number that's all! Since we hang out so often! Unless you'd rather not. That's okay too I guess..." she laughed "soooo? You ran back to ask me for my number?" Once he realised how awkward the moment was, he grew conscious about the situation. "AH. I'm sorry! I just forgot to ask when we were walking back home. I just, want a way to talk to you when we're not at school you know? I really like hanging out with ya!" She smiled and blushed pulling out her phone making her way to her contacts to display her phone to let him copy it down. He eagerly grabbed his phone and immediately typed it up.

"THANKS JIRO! LETS TALK LATER, KAY?" She giggled and blushed. "You could have asked me sooner you know~" he paused as a light sensation caved into his chest. "Hey, since you're not doing much this break, and you like hanging around with me, do you wanna hang out now at my place?" Upon hearing his words he became excited, and so overjoyed. "I'd love to!" He grinned as she opened the door further inviting him inside.

He began to take off his shoes and asked "hey are your folks cool with me hanging around?" As he asked she was reminded of her father the other day and started to feel embarrassed. "Yeah I'll just tell mum." She thought. "Yeah they're always chill with it, yaomomo just comes in unannounced with less formalities it's really cool to see her chill out from it all. I'll just text my mum to let her know you're here." He smiled putting his shoes to the side "sweet!"

He paced around their living room, eyeing the many instruments around him. Across from where he stood was the kitchen, Jiro putting two glasses on a tray, afterwards skimming through the fridge."Ice tea, soda, or water?" "Whatever you're having, Jiro" "sure!" The silence felt so natural as she poured the iced tea into the cups. He looked over to a family portrait of them, a young girl, happily sitting alongside her smiling parents. He smiled at the thought of her having a great childhood, however he did feel somewhat jealous and a sense of familiarity.

"She looks like... nah. That's not her."

To shake his mind off his envy and a weird sense of Deja vu, he decided to break the silence and marvelled at the instruments around him. "Wow music seems to be a huge part of your family huh. That's so cool!" Jiro's face reddened "yeah.. I guess it is a big deal to us." She opened some snacks to put in a bowl. "Kay, let's head up to my room." She took the tray of snacks and made her way upstairs, kaminari trailing behind. As he walked upstairs he smiled at the decor and the family portraits hung up around the house "she looked so cute! And she's still so adorable now. Wait what." He was glad his envious thoughts had left his side, but more confused as to what he had just asked himself.

She placed the snacks on a small table in her room, and they sat down, Kaminari admiring her room. It looked so cool. Even though it was small it already overwhelmed him with personality, unlike his room. It was large and spacious, fancy even, yet so empty. It was nothing like him at all. "What do you wanna do, Kaminari?" Her room was filled with instruments, just like the living room, posters plastered on the walls and string lights which really calmed the mood. As he looked at the instruments, he was reminded by his early encounters with Jiro. "Hey! Remember when you said you could sing?" Jiro turned to him with a confused expression "w-wha?"

"Why don't you sing for me?" Embarrassed she diverted her eye contact away "What? Why should I do that!?"
"sing?" He asked smiling at her. "Well remember when we cleaned together?"

"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!"
