Jiro's Pov.

  She felt someone wrap their arms around her the moment she opened the common room door!

  "I was so worried Kyoka!" she heard a familiar voice.

  "K-Kaminari!?" she pushed him away in surprise and crossed her arms. She tried to turn her head away to hide her blush.

  When she glanced back to him, she realized that his expression was crestfallen, disappointed for some reason.

  'Was he... crying?'

  "Your legs were burned... and then you were crying..." Kaminari trailed off, "I-I don't want to see you like that ever again!"

   For a moment, it looked like he was going to try to hug her again, but then hesitated.

   "Let's go talk this over at the couches..." she took him by the hand and they sat next to each other.

  "Where are Midoriya and Ochaco?" she asked.

  "They're training with the others," Kaminari informed her.

  Jiro nodded her head. She knew who Kaminari meant by "the others".

  "Why did you stay behind then?" she questioned.

  "Because I wanted to make sure you were okay when you came back," he looked away from her.

  "I'm fine," Jiro replied tartly, "I'm even going to stay at the dorms today."

  "Then I'm going to stay with you," he vowed.

  "But you're not sick, you should go to school," Jiro argued.

  "Then I'll lie and say I'm sick," Kaminari told her, "You shouldn't have to be here by yourself."

  "I'll be fine!" she protested. Why was he being so stubborn all of a sudden?

  He had so much concern in his eyes... He shouldn't be so worried over her!

  That was when he grabbed his phone and called someone.

  "I told you not to say you're sick!" Jiro shouted at him, reaching for his phone.

  He leaned back more so she couldn't reach it.

  "Cut it out!" she extended her arm further.

  That was when she slipped and fell off the couch.

  Thud!

  That was weird...

  She didn't land on the ground..? But she head a something fall...

  "Yeah... I'm okay..." Kaminari's voice sounded. He was talking into the phone probably.

  She sat up a little.

  Wait... was she..?

  Jiro immediately stood up to get off of Kaminari.

  "Idiot!" she shouted at him, turning away so he didn't see her red face.

  "You didn't get hurt, did you?" he wondered aloud.

  "No... I should be the one asking you that," she turned back around. It looked like he hit his head, or maybe he was just rubbing it...

  "You don't have to protect me from falling off the couch..." she mumbled.

  "You should get some rest," Kaminari told her, "I'll sit here to make sure no one wakes you up, okay?"
