Goddess of Creation(Momo x Male Reader)

Chapter 22 | Spill the Tea, Momo!

Momo's POV:

"Girl, we need to TALK!" Mina demanded through squeals of excitement.

"Mina, calm down!" I whispered, "It's nothing serious."

Mina barged into my room, lightly pushing me to the side. "Momo, I don't think you realise," she said, plonking herself on my bed as I closed the door behind her, "Romance is always serious."

"Do you really think I have feelings for him?" I sheepishly muttered. Lightly rubbing my neck awkwardly, I could feel it growing hotter as my clammy hands rubbed against my skin.

"Girl, are you kidding?! Of course you do! I've suspected you've been crushing on him for a while now."

I could feel my face growing to a bright red glow. I wanted to cover my face and try and hide it from Mina, but there was no point. By her cheeky smile, I could tell she'd already noticed.

"What makes you so sure I like him?"

"Oh, I don't know. How about the fact you follow him everywhere?"

"I do not," I retorted, a bit flustered by the comment.

"Oh, really," she said, her smile twisting into a more mischievous grin. "Then how come you visited him at five in the morning while he was at the hospital then?"

"Three..."

"What?"

"It was three in the morning. Not five. Wait, how do you know about that?" I questioned. I hadn't told anyone where I'd been.

"What, you think I'm the only one who's noticed your strange behaviour? And where else would you be going at that kind of hour?"

Now I regret not trying to hide my flustered expression. I could feel my whole face go warm with redness, and I started awkwardly fiddling with my fingers.

"I admit that maybe I have been concerned about him. And maybe I do have a sort of crush on him. But that doesn't mean anything, right? People get crushes all the time?!" I said with growing nervousness.

I couldn't hide the fact that I had feelings for (Y/N). But I also couldn't deny that it's likely just my brain playing tricks on me. I'm too young to be thinking about romance. Not to mention how busy I am with my hero training.

"Listen, Yaomomo. I'm no expert on all things romance. But I've seen enough rom-coms to know that you care for (Y/N) more than just a simple crush."

"Really? You're getting your romance guru knowledge from rom-coms?" I asked disappointedly.

"Hey, it's not like I could get it from anywhere else? Middle school wasn't the biggest romance time for me," she retorted.

"Ok, fine, whatever. But what should I do? We're both too busy with training to be able to worry about this sort of stuff. That is, if he even likes me back."

Mina let out an exasperated sigh. For a moment, Mina just stared at me intently. Looking me up and down, analysing me with her strangely coloured eyes. It made me feel uncomfortable and exposed, like I was being examined by a doctor trying to diagnose me.

She let out another sigh, leapt off my bed and said, "I don't know how to help you, Momo. I think you're on your own with this one."

"Wha- what do you mean?! I can't figure this out by myself!"

"Of course you can. You're easily the smartest person in our class. Why wouldn't you be able to figure it out?"

I stayed silent. My hand was placed on my lower cheek and slightly obscured my mouth. She may be right about me being smart, but that doesn't mean I'm wise. I know books and logic, not something so emotional like romance.
