Kirishima's POV

After Bakugou shook my hand and said 'Good game', he left, saying that he had a project or something that was way more important than 'hanging out with you losers'.

Kaminari and Jirou were playing now, but I wasn't paying much attention. I was sitting on the couch, staring at my hand.

Holy hecking heck is his hand soft. And warm.

Truth be told, when I lifted my hand up, I didn't actually expect for him to shake it. I thought he would just stand up and leave or whatever. But I guess I was wrong.

Not only did he shake it, he also said 'good game', and that really threw me off.

I realized that I was zoning out for a while, so I gently shook my head. Looking around, I noticed everyone was staring at me.

"Uh- why are y'all creepily staring?"

Kaminari grinned, wiggling his eyebrows. "You're thinking about Bakugou holding your hand, right?"

"Awww!! Kiri you're so gay!" Mina laughed.

My face became red, and I glared at Kaminari. "Well- I- um- and you're thinking about Shinsou holding your hand, right?"

His cheeks were dusted a light pink. "Now I am."

"C'mon man," Sero said, looking at me, "It's nothing to be ashamed of. We're all queer here."

At this I raised my eyebrow. "All of you guys are queer? I knew that Kami was bi, but I wasn't sure about you guys..."

Jirou chuckled. "I'm lesbian."

"Asexual over here!" Said Sero, pointing with his thumb at his chest.

We all looked over at Mina, and she seemed uncomfortable.

"Well, uh," she said, glancing around, "I'm not really sure yet?"

I looked at her with sympathy. I've been there before, when you have no idea who you are or who you like. "That's alright!" I said encouragingly, "There's no rush in trying to figure this kind of stuff out."

"Yeah!" chirped Kaminari, "Just be yourself and don't worry about what other people think."

Mina looked at all of us, smiling widely. "Aww, thanks you guys!"

As we sat there, Kaminari said that he had to go, saying something about a test tomorrow. Jirou stood up, preparing to leave as well, and I stood up too.

"Sorry guys," I said to Sero and Mina, "Gotta go too."

Kaminari was already gone somewhere, and Jirou was just about to leave the room. I caught up to her, visibly nervous.

I wanted to ask her to play my new song with me, and I was very much anxious.

What if she thinks that my song is stupid?

What if she thinks that I'm stupid?

I sighed, glancing at her.

"Hey- um, Jirou?" I facepalmed myself internally for sounding so awkward.

"Hm?"

"You play electric guitar, right?"

She nodded, her eyes gleaming; clearly she was passionate about music.

"So, uh, what kind of bands do you like?"

"Hmm," she thought for a moment, "something like MCR, Glass Animals. I enjoy some songs by Fall Out Boy too."
