A weird date

Mizu pov

I have known Kirishima for a fev months now, we had been friends eversince we met; the only thing I don't get is how he became friends with explodork. Kiri IS the nicest boy I met and Katsuki is the defenition of a bitch that won't hesitate to kill someone. (I wonder how he even got into UA)

During the break, I sat next to Kirishima. Bakugou wasn't here, because he was sent to detention for trying to get away with shutting up Mineta in a closet and baricading him. In my opinion Mineta deserved it, but once principal Nezu heard it, Bakugou had to clean all the desks of our cantine from gum. It would surely tale him a lot of time.
Soon, Mina ran up to us. We talked for a bit, until it came to a very.... Weird.... Subject.
"You two bring a lot time together, don't you? Are you a thing?"
"What do you mean? Of course we are friends! What a weird question to ask!" I answered.
"That's not... Aggh." she turned away when Nema tapped her shoulder and whispered something, then she walked away again. Mina then said: "Nevermind that. Are you free at seven today?"
"Yeah, wh-"
"And you Kirishima?"
"Yes, but I don't ge-"
"Great, cus I'm not. Enjoy your date."
She then walked away to Nema and left us in a weird position.

Kirishima pov

I was so embarised. This was not what I asked them. I asked for help but this is.... 'I am... Uhhh... I am so afraid right now.'
I was afraid of looking at her face. I tried to not look embariced.
"So..." she spoke, "are we gonna do this or not?"
"You? Want? To?"
"We can try."
"Okay. I'll pick you up at 8? Okay?"
"Sure."

After school I rushed home. I had less than 5 hours.
I looked inside my closet, but found no good ones for a date. My father walked into my room and asked me:
"What are you doing? Preparing for a date?"  He said it jokingly.
" Actually yes, but..."
"It's your first one. Need help from your old man?"
I nodded. He took me to the mall, and we went for search. We bought several sets of clothing.
I put on a simple, black blause and matching pants. My dad styled my hair.
Soon I was ready to go. I took my bike and rode it to Mizus house.
It was already kind of dark, so I took her to the restaurant. She sat on the back of my bike and held onto my back. It was a Chinese all you can eat.
During the meal I tried to bring up topics to talk about, but fell silent every time. Mizu was kind of silent too.

After some time Mizu started:
"Are you sure this is what you want? You seem hesitant eversince the date started."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I may not know much about love, but I noticed that you... Do not really.... Want this... To... Become serious...."
"That's not how.... I...."
"You don't have to say anything. Just come here." as she stood up, she spread her arms to give me an embrace. As we hugged, she asked me:
"Well, do you feel anything?"
"I.... No..."
"See, that's what I meant. You are... Not in love with me... And I get that."  we sat down again. "But... What do you think about Bakugou?"
"What do you m-mean?"
"I.... Noticed how you behaved around him, even tough you thought you loved me. You became shy around him. I think it is him who you should ask out, Kiri."
"Thank you, Mizu."

After some silence and paying the check, I set Mizu off, back at her home, but before I left I asked:
"Can we.... Still stay friends?"
"Of course, silly. See you at school."

That night I layed sleepless in bed, thinking about our conversation.
'What if Mizu was right? What if I really am in love with Katsuki? Will I still be considered manly? Will he accept it? "
