Chapter 11: The Shot Heard Round the World

Katsuki had noticed something, Momo had been a little weird around him as of late. Especially after the Sports Festival and their kiss. Katsuki reaches and touches his lips as he remembers the sensation of it, it wasn’t bad, it was just he hated the fact that he kind of wanted to do it again.

Katsuki shook his head, he was going to try to talk to her about it so that she would avoid him or be as awkward as she has been around him.

It had been a little hard ever since they started their internships however, they almost never saw each other.

Katsuki had no clue as of who she decided to intern under all he knew was filling out sidekick paperwork and stressing about a girl didn’t mesh well.

Katsuki growled as Best Jeanist gave him a look, “Is there an issue Katsuki?” he asked as Katsuki huffed, “Nah.” he says briefly as Best Jeanist gives him a look as he sits down.

“Katsuki seeing as you are officially becoming my sidekick, this early in your high school career I may add. It’s pretty important that we place trust with each other.” Best Jeanist says as Katsuki scoffs.

“I let you fucking comb my hair back into that dumbass style, anything else is pushing boundaries.” Katsuki says growling about his tamed hair as Best Jeanist looked at him, “Katsuki, talk to me.” Best Jeanist says as Katsuki growls at him.

“Piss off old man, you don’t want to hear about dumb teenage shit!”

Katsuki exclaims as Jeanist chuckled, “What’s her name?” he asks as Katsuki gave him a disgusted look.

“Did you just fucking assume my thought process?” Katsuki asks as Jeanist just looked at him as he remained unfazed.

Katsuki tried to ignore him but to no avail as he slammed his pen down on the table, “I got kissed by a girl who confuses the shit out of me, now she’s being weird and I want to fix it so that she doesn’t have to feel like she needs to avoid me! There you fucking happy?” Katsuki says as Jeanist chuckles.

“Well I was aware of the kissing part, I mean who in the stadium or on tv wasn’t? Also you never told me her name.” Jeanist says as Katsuki looks to the side as he signs the paper.
 
“Momo.” Katsuki says as he slides over the sheet, “Ah, of course. Well have you gotten the chance to talk to her about it yet?” Jeanist says as Katsuki shakes his head.

“No, we’ve both been busy or not alone.” Katsuki says as Jeanist gives him a nod, “Do you have feelings for the girl?” Jeanist asks as Katsuki shrugs.

“Look, I know I give off bad boy vibes but a majority of my high school career and life as been hero shit. I have no clue what a crush is like.” Katsuki says as Jeanist widened his eyes.

Katsuki was being oddly responsive and honest it must be bad.

Jeanist nods as he reads over the paperwork, “How does she make you feel?” Jeanist asks as Katsuki turned away again, “This conversation is pointless.” Katsuki says as Jeanist stands and and makes a copy of the sheet.

“Answer the question.” Jeanist says as Katsuki sighed.

“I don’t know, she’s fun to be around, she’s tough and intelligent. She’s definitely pretty and sometimes she smiles and it makes me feel shit.” Katsuki says as Jeanist signs the official copy placing it in a frame as he closes it.

“Well I think you should ask her to be your date for the Gala coming up soon. Just so you can investigate that feeling more.” Jeanist suggests as he hangs the frame on the office wall.
