Chapter 48 | Walking to Lunch

Kaminari's Pov.

  'Kyoka called me by my first name!'

  He couldn't get that thought out of his head.

  "Kaminari," he heard Ectoplasm's voice snap him out of his thoughts, "What's that answer to this equation?"

  'Wait, we were supposed to be doing math!? When did he put that problem on the board!?'

  "Er... Two?" he said the first number that came to his head.

  "Incorrect," Ectoplasm sighed, "Did you even do the problem?"

  "Um..." he didn't even know what to say.

  "I'll take that as a no," the teacher looked a little annoyed, "You will do this problem for homework then."

  He nodded.

  After writing the problem down in a notebook, he tried to pay more attention to the lesson.

  The bell rang soon after and they were dismissed for lunch.

  "You seemed really out of it during math," Kirishima commented.

  "Yeah..." he trailed off.

  'Kyoka called me by my first name... Even if it was just to get away from me... Still...'

  "Kaminari," Kirishima waved a hand in front of his face.

  "Oh... Sorry..." Kaminari apologized.

  "Did something happen?" Kirishima asked, "You've been acting strange lately."

  "Since when?" he questioned.

  "Since maybe in the middle of the week they left us to camp by ourselves," Kirishima answered.

  'Should I keep it a secret Kyoka called me by my first name..?'

  He remembered how much Kyoka smiled after that happened, she even giggled... maybe it was best to keep it a secret in case she didn't want to let others know.

  "Kaminari?" Kirishima shook his shoulder really hard, "Okay, something definitely happened."

  'Maybe I'll come up with a half truth...'

  "I'm just thinking about trying to ask-" he was cut off.

  "You know that the girls will reject you," Kirishima sighed, "So who are you trying to date this time? Yaoyorozu? Tsu? Ashido? Don't tell me you're trying to date Uraraka, she just started dating Midoriya-"

  'Jeeze, he couldn't be any more wrong with those guesses...'

  "Kyoka," he cut off Kirishima.

  "Wait, really?" he looked really surprised, "I never would've expected that."

  "Yeah," he nodded his head.

  "Wait, why did you call Jiro by her first name?" Kirishima asked, "If you're just trying to get a reaction out of her, stop."

  "You couldn't be more wrong," Kaminari was starting to get annoyed by him.

  "Then why?" Kirishima questioned.

  "She lets me," he informed Kirishima truthfully.

  He started cracking up, but after a few seconds he stopped.

  "Wait, you're serious?" he looked kind of surprised.

  "I'm not joking," Kaminari shrugged, "But she's probably going to say yes any time now... I mean, Ashido started trying to get us together."

  "She might be wrong about you guys-" 

  "My ships are never wrong!" she shouted to them angrily.

  'I think she's right about that...'

  "Don't say that again," he glared at Kirishima for saying that.

  That was when Kirishima walked back to talk to Bakugo.

  

Jiro's Pov.

  "So you called Kaminari "Denki"," it seemed Mina regained her shipping mindset. 

  "To get away from him," Jiro explained, trying to keep her blushing to a minimum. 

  "Still, I never thought you would do that, ribbit," Tsu brought her pointer to her mouth.

  "That's why I did it. It was so unexpected. I was able to get the upper hand while he was confused," Jiro told them.

  "And while he was red in the face," Mina snickered.

  Jiro blushed more, so she tried to keep her face tilted at an angle where they couldn't see it.

  "He's probably just not used to it after being rejected by all of you," she tried.

  "My ships are never wrong!" Mina shouted, looking over her shoulder.

  "That was also meant for you, but someone doubted my shipping abilities at the same time you did," Mina informed her.

  Jiro slowed down a little bit and decided to stop talking to them. That was when she bumped into someone.

  "Sorry," she apologized. Then she realized who it was.

  "Sorry Kyoka," Kaminari rubbed the back of his head.

  "When did you turn into Midoriya?" she questioned him.

  "I'm not sure, but would you rather me turn back into a Mineta?" Kaminari replied sarcastically.

  "Nope," Jiro shook her head.

  "Anyway, how many times do I have to ask you before you'll go on a date with me?" Kaminari prodded her shoulder.

  "Never idiot!" she crossed her arms and turned her face away so he didn't see the blush.

  "Please Kyoka?" he pleaded.

  "No," she sighed, "If you know I'm going to reject you, why do you keep asking? Isn't it just a waste of time?"

  "No time I spend with you is a waste," he smiled at her.

  She blushed again, but didn't even try to hide her face.

  'Maybe it wouldn't be so bad... Wait, what am I thinking!?'

  "Tomorrow night..." Kaminari started, "Tomorrow night... the cherry tree... please meet me there."

  "I told you to stop asking me out!" she tried to sound annoyed.

  "You don't have to see it as a date," Kaminari told her, "I just want you to meet me there."

  "I-I..." she didn't really know what to say anymore...

  "You don't have to give an answer whether you'll meet me there or not, but I'll be waiting there for you regardless," he put a hand on her shoulder.

  She felt the need to punch him, but a voice told her not to. She listened to it.

  'Should I meet him there? Yes: It's not a date anyway... No: He might trick me into a date like he tricked me on a double date with TodoMomo... Yes: When we went on a double date, it wasn't that bad. Yes: I had a good time during that double date...'

  Jiro shook her head around to clear her thoughts. 

  Kaminari was smiling at her, but it looked like a thought crossed his mind and he looked away immediately.

  'He's acting weird today... Probably because of this morning!'

  She looked away too.

  'Are my friends right..? Do I really have a crush on Kaminari..? No! That wouldn't make any sense! Would it..?'
