(A/N look I know my posting has been staggering and all that but I hope that you guys like the story. The next chapter might be a continuation of this one or I might do Momo meeting her brother thingy. I don't know anymore. My mental health has been all over the place and I've been fighting off bad thoughts. This chapter will be mostly in Momo's POV. Hope you enjoy.)

POV: Momo

It's been a week since Kyoka's mom passed away. She's only left her dorm to go to class and take food from the kitchen. She isn't talking to anyone. Not even me or Kaminari. She seems... broken. I knew that this would hit her hard, but I think it hit her harder than I thought it would. I'm heading to her dorm today to try once again. I reach her door and wait for a second. I hear her playing her acoustic guitar. She's playing an original song she was writing for her mother.
"Hey mom~ I was wondering if you remember what we went through. What about the time when I was two? I fell into the hole in the yard. Father would play a card-"
I knock. She immediately stops playing. I feel bad for making her stop but I need to make sure she's eaten something today. I hear her walk to the door. "Yeah?" She answers, sounding very tired. "Have you eaten toda-" She pulls open the door a little bit and pulls me in. I don't fight it I just kinda take it. She looks at me with a sad and guilty look. "I-I'm sorry for ignoring you. I just didn't know how to deal with it." She starts to cry. I pull her in for a hug which she accepts. After about ten minutes of sobbing it has went down to sniffles and heavy breathing. I look down at her in my arms. When did we get on the floor? Eh whatever. It doesn't really matter. I run my fingers through her soft and short purple hair. I love her so much. "Have you eaten today?" I ask. She looks away. "Kyo... you need to eat" "I know I know I just haven't been very hungry... I'm sorry..." She says sounding sad and guilty. "It's okay, how about we go out and get some dinner? How does that sound?" She nods into my chest. "Where do you wanna go?" "What about that one pizza place about a 5 minute walk from here?" I nod at her. God she's so beautiful. She's getting dressed and I keep sneaking peeks at her when she removes a piece of clothing. I watch her slip off her uniform and throw on a black crop top with a light denim jacket over it along with some black jeans. She's so pretty. "Momo." Kyoka says, snapping me out of my thoughts. I look at her with a dark blush on my face. She's standing above me and smirking. "You looked, didn't you?" She says her smirk faltering a bit. "Only a couple of times" I mutter under my breath. I wonder why her smirk faltered... I should ask her about it later. I let the thought of it slip from my mind for the time being. After we get to the dorm buildings door she stops. "Why'd you stop?" I question. She looks at me and grabs my hand. We walk out, both of us are blushing profusely. She's staring straight ahead with a glazed look in her eyes. "Whatcha thinkin about?" I question, snapping her out of her thoughts. She looks at me with a smile that I can tell was forced. I stare into her eyes, they're dark and puffy. "We're gonna talk when we get back, only if your comfortable." I say. She looks off and nods. We reach the pizza place and put in our order. Two personal pan pizzas, one is plain cheese and one is pepperoni. Mine is the cheese. I just thought of something. That text I got from mother months back. 'I want you to meet your brother'. I never knew I had a brother. I hope he's cool; mother said that he had to cancel when we were supposed to meet him and she also says he's always busy. I guess he'll have to wait. I watch as Kyoka finishes her pizza and grabs her wallet. "No. I'm paying." I say. She just looks at me. "Okay..." "Kyo, Are you okay?" I ask. She just looks at me then looks away. "We can talk about it at the dorm." She responds with tears in her eyes. I nod and put my money on the table. The walk back to the dorms felt long and dragged on. But finally we reached the school and go into the dorm building. I grab Kyoka and head to her dorm. After we get to her room she stares at the ground the whole time. "When you were looking at me earlier, did you see anything?" "Nothing bad." I respond. She smiles a little to herself. "Momo." She starts "There's something you should know..." I motion for her to continue. "I-I I..."

"I _____"
