{Kyoka Jiro p.o.v}

"Hey Jiroooo?"
I look over to the door of my dorm and see Yaoyorozu, "Hey, what's up?"
"We're friends, you can call me Momo if you want."
"Okay, Momo."
"I was thinking we could have a girls day today. The two of us. We've been so busy training lately that we don't hang out as much as we used to."
"Don't you think Midoriya will be butthurt if we just ditched? He already said Kirishima's birthday was the only excuse he was taking for a day off."
"If we say we went to train together then it'll be fine."
"But we're not in the same group, I don't think he'd buy it."
"Oh come on, what's he gonna do? He's not Mr. Aizawa so he's not that intimidating. It's only a girls day."
"What would we do?"
"Get coffee if you'd like, just do whatever."
I sigh.
I have been training a lot and studying. My body is sore from practicing combat actually.
"Fine, you've convinced me. But the consequences are on you."
"Eh not just me, you're agreeing to this."
"Let's just go before we get in trouble."



We go to a coffee shop after we leave and we're waiting in line for now.
"Soooo, Jiro. When are you gonna make a move on Kaminari?"
"Huh?" I turn to her in confusion.
"You said it yourself that you like him. So when will you say something about it?"
"Why is everyone suddenly hooking up? It's kind of suspicious."
"Because everyone is finally growing balls?"
"Yeah, the moment villains decide to go to war we all confess our feelings in case we die. How cliché."
"Just answer."
"I don't know and I don't care. He's busy being a dork and being with his friends anyway. It's not like he'd notice or care in the least."
"The first part is true I guess. But he'd be a bigger idiot if he didn't like you. You're really cool, to be honest. Uh oh, you have a smudge of eyeliner under your wing makeup."
"Ugh I hate this brand I recently bought."
I get out my pocket mirror and look at it, "Damn it."
I start carefully wiping it off when a stranger in front of me sees me and comments to me, "You know, most guys don't like it when girls wear so much makeup."
"Would you be on the list of guys that don't? Even though it's only eyeliner?"
"Well yeah."
"Have you ever thought that that is why we wear makeup in the first place?"
Momo chokes on her coffee behind me as I put my mirror back and grab my coffee cup.
"Um, I'm sorry?"
"Girls like me don't give a fuck what guys like you like. I didn't ask for your opinion. If it bothered you so much then why did you even talk to me? Are you always so rude to people you know or don't know? You're about 25 I'm assuming, so you should fix your asshole personality or you'll never get a girl. Have a good day."
Momo follows me as I walk away and she's laughing her ass off as we walk outside.
"Jiro you're so freaking cool."
"Just one person that stands up for themselves. Not enough people do."
I drink my coffee and she looks at me again, "So will you?"
"Oh my gosh, Momo why do you care so much? It's just a guy."
"Because romance is my forte."
"Didn't you agree with Asui, that forcing it out of someone is kind of rude?"
"Buttttt this is you, so I'm more interested."
"No. I'm not saying or doing anything to ruin the friendship. I'll take the friendzone if I have to."
"Yet, unspoken things can be bad."
"You watch too many movies."
"Huh, speak of the devil. Look who's coming this way."
I look in front of me and see Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero walking together towards us. I stop and drop my cup and it spills on the sidewalk.
"Jiro?"
"L-Let's go. Now."
"Oooo so you do care after all."
"I said let's go! Before they notice-"
"Hey! Jiro! Yaoyorozu!"
Damn it!
"Hey guys, what's up?"
I smack her arm after she says that in a obvious smartass tone.
"We were just gonna get coffee before training. I would invite you but it seems you two beat us to it."
"Yeah. But you guys should've been there, Jiro totally roasted this guy."
"Sounds dope! You'll have to tell us about it later."
"Come on, Momo, we have to go now."
I pull on her arm and Kaminari looks at me funny, "What's the hurry?"
"We're busy today and we have to go now."
"Oh really? What are you doing today?"
"Talking mostly about-"
"TRAINING. DISCUSSING TRAINING."
All three of them look at me in curiosity but just roll with it anyway, "Um okay then. I guess we'll see y'all later."
They leave and I look at Momo while she's smirking, "Bitch."
Of course she laughs at that as I keep walking, "Come onnnn. At least do something for him. It's been like a year since we've all known each other. That's a perfectly good reason."
"Who gives someone a present just because of how long they've known them?"
"That's what friendship is. Duhhhh."
"What would I even do? I don't know what boys like, let alone Kaminari. Besides being a pervert."
"Oooo how about that! Give him something pervy."
"You're so disgusting, are you insane?"
"Haha, you know I'm only joking. Don't take the jests so seriously."
"Can't we just drop this? I feel like we're in elementary school."
"Make him something. It's always more thoughtful to give someone something you did yourself and put effort into it."
"I'm not good at anything."
"Everyone is good at SOMETHING. You're just too nervous to think of it."
I don't need to do anything anyway.
"Ughhhhh, seriously I can't just sit back and watch no chemistry happen."
"Chemistry? What the hell have you been watching or reading?"
"How about bake him something? The best way to a mans heart is through his stomach."
"That's so cliché. Again."
"I'll buy the ingredients and you make it!"
She runs inside the store that we happened to come across, "Wait! Ugh, Momo!" I run after her and I couldn't get away with leaving empty handed this time.
"I don't even know how to cook anything."
"It's okay, the effort is what matters!"
