Shinsou & Monoma (Partners in crime)

Chapter 8 "Why"

*Monoma's point of view*

The words Kendou said kept repeating in my head.

"What is Shinsou to you?"

Firstly, why is it any of her concern? After all we don't need to know every little detail about each other.

Secondly, how could I possibly answer that question? I don't even know myself what Shinsou is to me anymore! I then began to think about Shinsou even more.

His eyes always making himself look more tired and older then he usual is. Having white pupils were considered rare in the world we lived in, not many people had them. I always thought it made me look weird, and I even believed it made me and Kendou complete freaks.

But yet again I remembered a kid has a bird head, but I always hated them and was thinking about wearing black pupil contacts before I began school but....

I suddenly remembered I had seen Shinsou before school even started! I was walking down the streets with Kendou because she wanted to go shopping and needed someone to tell her if she looked nice or not, but pretty much all outfits look the same to me. Plain. 

That's when I saw him. I practically turned my head completely when I passed by him, it wasn't because he was a head turner it was because I had never seen anyone with purple eyes and white pupils up until now, and they looked so beautiful. 

I was known to have a habit of staring at something for a long time if I find it interesting or beautiful, so it wasn't any surprise that I kept looking at him.

He was wearing a simple denim jacket, with a striped white shirt, jeans, and tims. he was also carrying cat food, and seemed to be slightly struggling with it. After all, he did had 2 large bags in his hands.

I also remembered how embarrassed I was when I walked into a "STOP" sign, and Kendou scolded me for not paying attention to my surroundings.

Sometimes I swear Kendou is more like a mom to me then a best friend.

But that still doesn't answer her question does it? What is Shinsou to me? I couldn't lie and call him a friend because I still don't know, so the only thing I could say at the time was...

"I don't know?"

*Kendou's point of view*

My eyes finally stopped tearing up, but I was disappointed with Monoma's answer, he wasn't supposed to say that, he should be saying "Shinsou is just a friend, nothing more, nothing less" and I would've stopped crying and worrying about those two, but that answer makes me even more upset.

Surely, you might just think an "I don't know" won't mean anything but an "I don't know" could easily change to a "I love him".

Which in this case I love Monoma, I love Neito. Ever since we met there was something about that cocky boy, that made me like him even more. It made my heart ache just to think about him being with someone other then me.

I would've been fine with him being my only friend, I would've been fine if we stayed together only as friends and never got married to someone else, I just wanted to live my life peacefully with him...but no.

There's always someone or something to ruin someone's life before it could blossom always something to kill a plant before it could bloom and become beautiful.

In this scenario, that person is Shinsou.

I don't want to hate him, but I can't be on okay terms with him either... he has the one person that I had wanted for so long in my life.

But I realized, it was my fault for not noticing sooner.

I remembered a moment in my life where I felt so angry at Monoma. he had walked into a "STOP" sign because he kept staring at this one guy with purple hair. I then realized that guy's description matches Shinsou's. I needed to release some steam so I just chose Monoma's unawareness to go off on.

Whenever Monoma finds something or apparently someone interesting or beautiful he stares at it or them for a long period of time.

I wished he would stare at me like that for even a minute without looking somewhere else.

*Nobody's point of view*

"I don't know?! Are you asking me a question or answering mine?" Kendou said with a slight anger in her voice. "I... wait- why does it matter to you what I see Shinsou as?" Monoma snapped back.

"I... just want to know is that so much to ask for?!" Kendou said this time with a slight hesitant in her voice.

"You never asked something like this before- and now you ask it out of the blue like that?! We're in a hospital Kendou! A hospital! so please let's not make a scene here and just go make sure Shinsou-"

"There you go again! It's always about Shinsou nowadays! Shinsou this! Shinsou that! and I'm sick of it!" Kendou cut Monoma off, which she has never done before. She must really be angry at him.

"I was going to say Bakugo too! What's your problem with Shinsou?! He didn't do anything wrong he doesn't deserve any of this!" Monoma said as he feels himself becoming more and more angry at Kendou.

"You wasn't going to say anyone but Shinsou! That's all you care about anyways... Why do you even like him that much? You only known him for a week!" Kendou this time actually thought before speaking like her normal self.

"I don't know... But after all I've been through with him... I care about him like I knew him my whole life like how I know you, so there's your answer he's my best friend... I hope you understand that Kendou."

Monoma begins to walk away, Kendou has a look of embarrassment on her face, but then she realizes Monoma is leaving her for real this time...

It was know or never she began to walk fast behind him and grabbed the back of his collar spinning him around and planting a kiss on his lips.

Monoma was shocked but... The worst part was Shinsou was in the hallways probably to check what's going on only to see this.

Not only did Shinsou looked equally as shocked... he didn't walk back to his room but to the roof top of the hospital.

Monoma then immediately pushes Kendou off, she stumbles back but her head doesn't go to look up but remain down.

"Itsuka... What the HECK!... This is why you asked me that question didn't you?! I... Don't see you in that way, sorry!  But to kiss me out of question is another thing! Please don't talk to me... For a while I need time away from you right now." Monoma says with slight angry, and slightly surprised.

Monoma quickly dashes to the end of the hallway to go up the stairs to get to the roof, maybe if he hurries he can explain to Shinsou before he gets enough time to process what he wants to do.

Kendou stands there for a while then suddenly collapsing to her knees.

Monoma busts the rooftop door open, with zero hesitation, he sees Shinsou by a railing staring up at the night sky, with... Bakugo?!

Monoma couldn't shake off the feeling of uneasiness building up in the pit of his stomach.

Suddenly both Bakugo and Shinsou turn around slowly, both of their faces poker.

But Shinsou's face looked more sad then poker.

*Monoma's point of view*

Shinsou... Please forgive me.
