Hey! It's just Bromance

Chp 3 - Longing

Kirishima knew he was in deep.

"Kirishima dude, can you tone down the gay? It's distracting me from my food." Kaminari said, poking Kirishima with the ends of his chopsticks. "Plus I'm pretty sure Uraraka and Todoroki have noticed you staring rather intently at the back of Midoriya's head."

"I'm not staring!"

"Suuuuuure you aren't. And I'm not pink."

"Ashido don't betray me like this. I thought we were horn buds."

"We are, but dude you need to just talk to Midoriya."

"But-"

"For fucks sakes, you are all about being fucking manly right so be a fucking man and ask Deku out."

"Woah... Bakugou is being supportive? I never thought I'd see the day." Sero teased, grinning at the scowl he got in return.

"Shut the fuck up. It's 'cause he's being annoying as fuck. If I have to read another two hundred messages in the group chat about Kirishima and his huge crush on fucking Deku I think I'll kill myself."

"That's aggressive, but caring in your own way, so thanks? I think?" Kirishima said. His eyes glanced back up towards Midoriya again.

I hope you feel the same way

He started to eat his food again, face softly looking towards Midoriya, longing for a relationship with the boy building in his heart the more he looked at him.

"Hey Deku, Kirishima's staring at you." Uraraka said simply before taking another bite to eat.

"H-huh he is? Wait, there's no way he's staring at me. It must be at something else, or just a coincidence. It's probably Todoroki he' said looking at, especially since like the whole class collectively agreed he's the most attractive guy."

"While I'm flattered you think that, he was definitely staring at you," Todoroki answered, "and before you worry, you look fine, as usual."

"T-thanks..."

"Deku I don't see why you don't just go up and ask him out! He's obviously into you!"

"Uraraka I doubt that he is into me. I'm pretty sure he isn't into guys."

Jirou and Yaoyorozu, who were sat at the table next to the group, shared a look before Jirou let out a laugh, a look of incredulousness on her face.

"Sorry for listening in on your private convo but jeez I thought you were observant Midoriya, what with all the info in your notebooks. How could you not know?"

"Thank you Jirou! That's what I'm trying to say to him!" Uraraka said, sending her friend a thumbs up. "We all know he likes you a lot so just do it!"

"Look, I'm friends with Kirishima and the squad. If you go up to him and ask him out, he will definitely say yes."

"I'm sure it would be out of pity though... I mean anyone that I've asked out or has asked me out before has made a joke of it or was dared to do it... so it's probably better if I don't ask him."
