that's just how it works [REWRITING]

Chapter Seventeen - (Y/n) (Last name): Origin!

. . .

   After a while, you had gotten Uraraka to calm down. She still seemed slightly tense as you looped arms with her, a bright smile donning your features. Her cheeks heated up at the sight of your cheery grin, her eyes averting as her mind flooded with fantasies of you and her together. 

   '(Y/n) holding my hand, (Y/n) holding me close, (Y/n)'s soft lips brushing across my cheek, (Y/n) locking lips with me, (Y/n) cradling me on her lap, (Y/n) pressing soft pecks down my neck, (Y/n) slipping her shirt off, (Y/n)'s hands running down my sides, (Y/n)'s thigh- wait...'

    Uraraka's face erupted with a fiery flame, mouth parting slightly at the seemingly innocent thoughts roaming her head becoming lewd. What was she thinking?! She shook her head slightly, shying away from her realization. It just couldn't be possible! 'Do I... like her?'

    You were blissfully oblivious to the floaty girl's dilemma. You dragged her away to the door of the classroom, Midoriya and Iida hovering right behind you two. Uraraka blinked from her daze as your warmth left her side. She watched as you rushed up to Kirishima, glancing back to wave at the three. The floaty girl's heart pinged with slight sadness and jealousy, and Midoriya stepped up to stand beside her, resting a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him, and he nodded, sensing that she felt similar feelings that he felt. Iida stood behind them, his eyes flicking between the two. 

   "So, Eiji-Kun! You have my number, but I don't think you ever gave me yours." He blinked. "Ah, yeah! I saved you as one of my contacts when I got home that day." You nodded, pulling your phone out of your pocket and unlocking it, handing it to him. "There you go!"

   He looked down at it, eyes widening at the expensive device he held in his hand. It was one of the newest ones out there, and was very expensive. How were you able to afford something like this?! He overcomes his surprise, cheeks blossoming pink as he tapped in his number to your contact list. You're handed your phone back, and you do a double take at the contact name he put in.

   Eijirou Kiri<3

   Your cheeks heat up, and you smile brightly up at him, standing on your tip toes to press a quick little peck to his cheek. He gasps, looking at you with wide, startled eyes. You giggle, putting your phone away and grabbing his hand to pull him to the cafeteria. Midoriya and Uraraka had seen it all. 

   In the lunch room, that is where you and Kirishima parted. You both got your lunch, but you said that you'd rather eat on the rooftop today. A few school days earlier, you had found a way up onto it. He reluctantly let you go, going to where he started to usually sit. You smile before walking to the stairs that would lead to the roof. You sit down near the edge, not on edge in the slightest because of the metal link fence running around the perimeter. 

   You stare over the edge, humming softly to yourself. You quickly throw some glances around before letting the smile fall, a sorrowful frown replacing it. Your lips part as you start to softly sing.

"hawatari suu senchi no fushinkan ga 
ageku no hate joumyaku wo sashichatte 
byoujaku na ai ga tobidasu monde 
resupooru sae mo kyouki ni kaete shimaimashita"

   A tear slips.

"noo fikushon"

   Some more tears fill your eyes, trailing down your cheeks as your voice became shaky. Yet, you continued singing, even when a memory invaded your minds eye.

   It was such a small memory, one of those moments that meant nothing at the time, just one day in a series of days, the same as all the others. They were together, just the two of them, and it must have been before everything, before his beliefs took a turn for the worst, before he became a villain.
