Chapter 11

Rina's P.O.V                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       “H-Hey Sukie.” Intense eye contact, awkward smile, heart racing. 

“Hey.” Silence, awkward silence. Why was he here? Why can’t I think? Why do emotions exist? Can I hide in a hole far away from everyone? All valid questions at a time like this. 

“So why are you here?”

“You told me to come remember?”

“Right, ya, um come in.” opening the door further allowing entrance. We both sat on my couch as I began surfing through netflix. The air was thick and I was so embarrassed. 

“So why are you wearing my sweater?”

“All of mine are dirty and you left yours here.” Nice save Rina! 

“Sure,” I looked over to see him smiling, “Are you sure you didn’t just wear it because you missed me.” 

“Don’t be stupid.”

“I’M NOT STUPID!” I let a giggle escape my lips. 

“I’m going to make some dinner, wanna help?” 

“Sure.” he grumbled, probably still upset by my previous comment. We got up and made our way into the kitchen. I grabbed a few packages of ramen, while he searched the fridge for anything to enhance the ramen. I started to boil the water while he chopped some onions, and I think he found some garlic and carrots as well. After the water was boiling and the noodles were in I searched for some pork. Bingo! After getting it out and cooking it, we added the finishing touches. Sitting at the table getting ready to eat.

“Mmmmm, this is so good.” I mumbled with a mouth full of food. 

 “You’re disgusting, eat with your fucking mouth closed.”

“You are so mean sometimes.” 

“Whatever you say.”

We finished our food and relaxed in my living room. We sat right next to each other, so close to each other. My mind just wouldn’t stop racing, thinking about kissing him, him kissing me, and both of us doing so willingly. But, I shouldn’t right? He is my childhood bestie, and he is a bully! I mean he is a hot bully so that's a plus. He found something on netflix to watch, I couldn’t pay attention though. I was getting hot and bothered, because I have to have stupid teenage hormones. Like who wouldn’t get hot and bothered around this man though? I mean look at him! 

“Hey, um, Sukie?” 

“Hm?” 

“So, um the uh kiss-”

“I said we weren’t talking about that.”

“I, uh know, it’s just uh was it bad?”

“What kind of question is that?” 

“Ha sorry it’s so stupid I know.”

Katsuki P.O.V 
Stupid girl asking me questions like that. I was trying not to think about it. My face began to redden as I looked at her in my sweater. Man do I like her in my clothes. Nope don’t fucking think like that. It’s Rina of all people, RINA! But no matter how many times I remind myself who she is I can’t help it. 

“Rina.”

“Uh, y-ya?” 

“Stop tweaking, the kiss was uh fine I guess.” I hid my face by looking back at the T.V. 

“It was f-fine?”

“Yah, but it’s not like it was a big deal or anything. We’ve been friends forever. I mean we used to take baths together, so ya no big deal or anything.”

“Oh.” she sounded kind of defeated, and sad. Fuck I keep making her sad. I looked back to her as she took in a deep breath. She seemed to be preparing herself to say something. Opening her mouth she finally spit it out.

“IF IT WAS NO BIG DEAL CAN I DO IT AGAIN?” My breathing completely stopped, I could only hear my heart in my head and I’m sure my face was completely red.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                “W-what?” Is she serious? What the hell Rina where did you get the courage to say that.

“C-could I um, um kiss you a-again,” her voice dropped to a mere whisper, “you know cause you said it wasn’t a big deal.” 

“I...Uh...I...I mean...I guess.” I turned to see her super red, obviously not expecting that answer.

 “Really?” I just nodded and started to lean in, staring at her lips. I moved my hand to her face, to ensure she wouldn’t chicken out. She slowly moved in as well. I felt my stomach twist, as I closed my eyes and our lips connected.  Holy fucking shit! I’m really doing this. Her lips were soft and smooth. Once she started to kiss my brain went blank. I couldn’t think of anything else than being here with her. When we pulled away, because air exists, her face was so red and cute. 

“S-see no big deal Rina,” she nodded as I realized the time, “shit I have to go, the old hag will kill me. I’ll um see ya tomorrow.” another nod from her and I left, with butterflies all throughout my stomach.
