{Kyoka Jiro p.o.v}

"This is gonna be great guys! We'll be a great team! I'm a sneaky girl that no one can see, Koda doesn't talk so it won't be a problem for us to be quiet, and Jiro, you listen in on conversations so no one will know that we're eavesdropping. It's perfect all together!"
I play with my earphone, "Trust me, I've heard Koda talk."
"HE DOES!?"
"Yeah, during the exams, he talked to bugs to make them follow his commands."
"Can you talk right now, Koda!?"
He shakes his head in shyness and I smirk a little, "I expected as much."
"Well, since we know what we all can do with our quirks already, what is there to get to know about each other?"
I think for a minute and put my feet on the chair next to me, "I have a question I've been wanting to ask you for a while actually."
"Oh really? What is it?"
"If I put my hand in your mouth, would it disappear?"
"WHAT!? WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WONDER THAT!?"
"Just curious. It's not everyday that you encounter an invisible person. Might as well ask questions while I have the chance."
"I don't know if it would and I don't want to know. Such a weird question coming from you, Jiro. I would expect that kind of thought from Kaminari or something."
"True I guess but it was just a question."
"Speaking of Kaminari, do you like him?"
I sit up immediately on my chair in shock, "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT!? OF COURSE NOT!"
"You know, since we're asking questions here. Just doing what you suggested." She giggles.
"Tch. I would never."
She stays quiet for a moment and I can tell she has something specific she wants to bring up.
"What is it?"
"Now that I remember, when all of us girls were at Hatsumes' house for the sleep over-"
"Nope."
"You admitted you liked him when we revealed our crushes."
"Nope. No I didn't."
"Ooooh but you did indeed, Jiro. You can't hide the truth."
"Where's your evidence then, Hagakure?"
"If I asked any of the girls here, they would agree that you did exactly that."
"Shut your mouth!"
She giggles again, "Also, you said his quirk is cool and that he's so adorable."
I grit my teeth in irritation, "Can't you keep a secret!? What happens at a sleepover stays at a sleepover!"
"Oh come on, it's just a tease. It's not like Koda is gonna spill the beans anyway to anyone."
We both look at him, or I would assume she does, he looks so awkward about it and I smirk towards her direction.
"What? Why are you smirking?"
"Since we're revealing secrets. I remember also, that at the sleepover you said that you had a crush on Koda."
I hear her gasp and Koda's face becomes flustered as hell. He screams and runs out of the room while everyone stares at him, then they look over at us. I point at Hagakure, "Her fault."
"What!? Was not! You made him panic!"
"But the reason is because of you technically."
"Hush!"
Everyone goes back to their business and I chuckle to myself, "Told you he can make a sound when he wants to."
"Oh, I forgot all about that." She sits next to me and I feel her stare at me.
"Um, what?"
"When are you gonna tell him you liiiiike him?"
"Probably never?"
"Never!?"
"Keep your voice down, geez."
"Why never? What's the point in a crush if you're never gonna tell them about it? Even if something doesn't go right, you should at least get it off your chest."
"He's a weirdo and an idiot. But he's fun to be around because of that and I don't want to mess that up. So it's best not to say anything about it."
"I'm sure he won't think any differently about you. He's not a jerk that will just leave your friendship because of that either, that would be plain dumb. He's a loyal friend and things will stay the same even if he doesn't like you that way back. Just give it a try and see how it goes."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm good."
She sighs and takes her clothes off. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"What needs to be done. I can't sit here and watch you be completely down about it."
"Why did you need to take your clothes off for that though!?"
"Geez, don't announce it."
"Hagakure!"
Next thing I know, Kaminari is being shoved from behind in my direction and I facepalm.
Damn it!
"Uh, Hagakure is that you?"
"Yes!"
"Why did you strip just to make me go somewhere?"
"Because I knew you wouldn't do it yourself!"
When he finally reaches me, I stand up in annoyance and she puts her clothes back on.
"Now, I'm gonna go find Koda and apologize. When I get back, you better have fixed the situation!"
She leaves and Kaminari looks at me, "What situation?"
"A stupid one."
"Did you need me for something important? Uraraka is gonna be mad that I stopped training."
"Nothing important at all. She's just being overdramatic."
"About what?"
I blush a little and cross my arms to hide my embarrassment, "It's nothing. Just forget this happened."
"She seemed serious though that you better have fixed whatever situation you're in."
"I'm scared of her? She's too nice to hurt anyone."
"That may be true but it's probably best just to fix the situation."
"Ummm," I start to sweat a little in panic, "I uh..."
"You what?"
I finally come up with an idea and pull out my phone from my pocket, "My phone is dead and I forgot to bring my charger. Can you charge it for me please?"
"That's it? She was mad about that?"
"Yeah haha."
"If that's true then I guess it really is overdramatic."
He takes my phone and uses his quirk on it. I let out a deep breath in relief and he looks at me, "Are you sure that's all you needed?"
"Y-Yeah."
"You act like you need to tell me more though."
"Really? Pft, no I'm good."
"If you say so. I know when you're lying though."
"How?"
"You're sweating first of all."
"We um worked out."
"I saw y'all talking on these chairs the whole time we've been here."
"You were looking at us?"
"From time to time, just to see how you're doing."
"Why?"
"Gotta make sure my friends are ready, you know."
I huff and my face turns completely red, "Fine, there is something I wanted to tell you."
"What is it? Your phone is almost fully charged by the way."
"The thing is, ummm..."
"Here, it's done."
He gives me my phone and I put it in my pocket, "Thanks. But what I was saying is that I really like-", I look back up at him and he's making his derp face and putting his two thumbs up, doing his idiot voice.
He used his whole quirk just from that!?
"KAMINARI, YOU IDIOT!" I slap him and he falls on the ground but keeps acting stupid.
"What happened!?" Hagakure stands in front of me, "I was gone for 5 minutes and he's laying like a dork on the floor with a red handprint on his face!"
Uraraka runs over to us, "Hey! He's suppose to be training!"
"Well it's going to be a while before he can start back up on that. Where's Koda?"
"Playing with animals to soothe out his embarrassment."
"I guess we're both having boy trouble then."
They sigh and I smile while looking at Kaminari.
Idiot.
