Summer Showers ◦ Kamijirou

Chapter 5: Sunset

Kaminari's hoodie taunted Jirou.

She had woken up with it still on, it's warmth almost too hot as morning light poured through her window. The night before she had been so exhausted that she hadn't bothered to take it off before she went to sleep.

Jirou frowned down at it. It's simple design and black color didn't reflect the trendy style Kaminari tried to have. It was perfectly soft and cozy, enough so that she hadn't even needed a blanket. It had a too-big size that just made her feel even more comfortable. She didn't like how safe it made her feel.

She had a weird impulse. Against her better judgment, she put her head into it and smelt it.

It was hard to describe as anything other than 'boy'. The scent of laundry mixed with a faint aroma of citrus, most likely from a spray of cologne.

Oh God. Kaminari wore cologne.

Jirou lifted her head. "What am I doing..." she muttered, then pulled it off herself.

She threw it across the room.

Jirou picked at her lunch and listened to her friends talk. Momo was talking about a new move she had created, starting the conversation of training.

"Tokoyami was pretty strong yesterday," Tsu croaked. "His Dark Shadow was hard to beat."

"His Quirk is so cool! Oh, but did you see Ochako against Kaminari? She like made him float and did some epic martial arts stuff on him!" Mina said, mimicking karate chops in the air.

Toru touched Jirou on the shoulder. "Speaking of Kaminari, why don't you sit with him?"

"Why?"

"Because he's your boyfriend!" Mina giggled.

"Well I don't wanna leave you guys."

"Let's all go sit with him then!"

Mina stood up and pulled Jirou out of her chair. She let out a few protests as she was dragged towards Kaminari's table, but Mina persisted, the other girls soon following.

"Shouldn't we let her decide?" Momo said, still sitting at their table.

"This is for the greater good, right Jirou?" She reluctantly nodded.

"Come on Momo, this is a team effort!"

Momo let out a motherly sigh and joined them.

"Hi guys!" Mina said once they reached their table. Kaminari and his friends -- Sero, Bakugou, and Kirishima-- turned to look at them. Kaminari grinned.

"What the fuck are you doing here?!" Bakugou growled.

Mina plopped down next to him and shrugged. "Just here to sit with you."

Kaminari and Sero snickered at Bakugou's enraged face towards Mina, who was casually eating from her lunch tray. "You're free to sit with us, don't mind him," Kirishima said.

"Thanks!" Mina gestured towards the girls. "Sit down!"

Toru not-so-subtly pushed Jirou towards the seat next to Kaminari.

She sat down and ignored him, who was staring at her with his stupid smile plastered onto his stupid face. He rested his head on his palm and raised an eyebrow. "What brings you around here?"

"Just here to eat lunch," she said. "Don't take it personally."

"Hm," he sang. She scoffed.

"I'm kinda disappointed you guys started dating this soon," Sero cut in.
