"I want to help you." He spoke again. Louder this time.

Your heart sunk a little bit. What did he mean by helping you? Was he not going to ask you to the ball? You suppressed your disappointment and kept a calm face.

"What do you mean? What is it that you want to help me with?" You asked as cheerfully as possible.

Kirishima thought for a moment before responding.

"You seem to really want to ask this guy out to the ball. I thought I could help you. I know your friends are probably helping you, but I thought I could give you a mans insight. Great idea, right?"

You could hear your heart shatter into a million pieces. Kirishima was truly clueless. You stared at him in disbelief. Your smile still standing strong. You didn't want Kirishima to see how you felt.

"It's a great idea, Kirishima, but you don't know who the guy is."

"You'd have to tell me, of course." He smirked.

You felt your eye twitch.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that...not now at least..." You mumbled the last part.

"Come on. You've gotta tell me. Not in english this time." He begged. He stepped closer to you. You were both so close, you found it difficult to look him in the eyes.

"Why don't you go get someone to translate it for you?" You spoke as you took a step back.

"I did. I asked Midoriya. He said that he didn't think it was right to tell me what it meant." He confessed.

"Did he say why he didn't think it was right?" You asked.

"He said that I should probably hear it from you than from him."

"Ask google to translate it for you."

"I don't know how to spell what you said." He complained. "Just tell me."

You shook your head as you let out a soft chuckle. Kirishima had a firm gaze on you. Watching your every movement.

"I don't think I can tell you right now..."

You knew what you said was an excuse. You could easily tell him now. There was nothing in your way. You would be ripping off a bandaid if you did it now. It was the fear of rejection that was weighing you down. He already said he had his eye on someone, and if he was willing to help ask someone else out, that would mean he doesn't see you in that way. He would obviously reject you. You knew he would let you down easy, but you didn't feel strong enough to have your pride take a hit like that at the moment.

His lips pulled into a tight line. He wasn't happy with your answer.

"Can you at least tell me about this guy? Give me some clues." He pressed.

"He's kind." You blurted out. You quickly cover your mouth.

Kirishima's eyes lit up.

"What else? There's a few kind guys in our class."

You shook your head. Your hand was still covering your mouth.

"Come on. Throw me a bone." He pleaded.

You thought for a moment. He probably wouldn't figure out it was him. He's convinced that it's someone else. You decided to give in and remove your hand from your mouth.

"Well, he's always encouraged me. He's always tried to lend me a helping hand. He's weary around me though. He often tries to avoid physical contact with me. I've always admired how he's strong and always brightens everyone's day." You rambled.
