Jirou POV

———————

I was sat half upright, half slouching in bed, my face dimly lit up by the glaring light of my phone screen. I have a dead leg but that's not important. Every now and then, my thumb would move as I looked through my camera roll...

A picture of the bakusquad hanging at The Waffle House... Denki and I performing live in a concert... a picture of Yaoyorozu...

Oh fuck I'm gay. I can't seem to carry on scrolling as my eyes trace every detail of the image that illuminates my whole face. She's grinning at something behind the camera, bright eyes slightly squinted. I remember when this photo was taken- the whole of our class decided to visit the travelling carnival that had visited and we were all messing around, taking mugshots and pranking one another. Yaoyorozu stood in front of a neon blue ferris wheel and in the background you could see Bakugou yelling profanities at Midoriya, who had tried to join the explosive-tempered boy in the ferris wheel carriage. Kirishima had stolen my phone to record the argument commence but, in his haste to capture the moment, had taken a photo. The edges were blurred and Yaoyorozu wasn't looking straight at the camera but to me, this photo was so perfect. 

I tried to remember what she had been looking at. My eyes scanned the screen, my pupils dilated from the harsh light. That's when I saw my own chunky boot, just the tip, protruding into the freeze frame. Yaoyorozu's gaze was just above this. She was smiling at me. Yaoyorozu was smiling at me-!

I curled into a ball then, my insides feeling sweeter than honey syrup. I was smiling softly despite being alone in my room at the wee hours of the morning. A strange sense of peace washed over me as my toes curled in this newfound sensation. I shook myself out, told myself to stop being stupid. Friends smile at each other all the time, nothing makes this special. I finally managed to scroll and there was the video of the beef between Midoriya and Bakugou. I pressed play

"Kachaan, can I join you and Urar-"

"WHAT THE FUCK DEKU?! ABSOLUTELY NOT YOU SHITTY EXTRA! GET IN A CARRIAGE WITH THESE OTHER LOSERS, AND PREFERABLY DON'T GET OUT YOU SLIMY PILE OF STEWED SEWAGE"

I snorted at the metaphor he used- very specific. The wind distorted the audio but you could hear Kirishima trying to figure out how to stop the video. I then heard my own voice, talking him through the simple step of pressing the red square. In the background, you could hear a hushed discussion between Todoroki and Yaoyorozu taking place-

"How do I tell her?"

"Just let it come naturally. Try to find out her sexuality first before making your move, and just stay calm. Jirou's fairly transparent and you're best friends"

"I don't want to jeopardize our friendship though... Maybe I-"

I pauses the video there and went back ten seconds. Surely... surely I didn't hear that right

"Jirou is fairly transparent"

"Jirou is fairly"

"Jirou is"

"Jirou"

I felt a warm rush of blood sweep up to my face, like a liquid fire.  My ears were ringing slightly as I swiped up to check the date of the video. It had been taken on the 17th of August, several months back. Had she gotten over it already? Had she been joking? Why hadn't she said anything?

So many questions were screaming in my head and I shook it violently to get them to leave. She was probably just questioning and was now over it. That's all.

But I couldn't help but wonder what if she wasn't over it? What if she genuinely liked me? Like... like I like her?

3rd person POV

———————

She immediately dismissed this thought but it stayed lingering at the back of her mind. It was now 3:16am and a school night so Jirou shut off her phone, which was now hot to the touch, and set it down beside her bed. She pulled the duvet over her chin and eventually, after much tossing and turning in a state of consciousness, drifted to sleep.
