Raindrop Side Stories

Joue's Office - 1 (Jenny)

So these are little therapy things or counselor things that go on with the other characters :)

This is after Jenny and Kirishima first meet.

Enjoy~

Joue's POV

I sat down for my last appointment before lunch, waiting for a knock on the other side of the door. I was to be expecting Jenny. Her appointments weren't weekly or all that frequent for the matter, but on a need basis. That meant I should expect an issue but enough to warrant her arrival.

As expected and promptly on time entered Jenny with paper stars littered in her hair and nervous fingers pulling on her bottom lip.

"What happened?" I asked immediately. She took a dramatic flop into a beanbag.

"Kirishima is so cute it makes me want to die." I furrowed my eyebrows, seating myself at the floor. "How am I supposed to make him know I like him?? How do you even ask someone out?" I let out a slight scoff. She glanced at me, realizing who she was talking to before letting out a sigh. "Okay so maybe not the last one."

"I've heard of a Kirishima."

"Class 1-A. Red hair. Shark teeth. Nice eyes," Jenny mused and I smirked.

"You know, I think you have a gateway," I pointed out. Jenny stared at me, confused for a moment before I plucked a pink star from her hair. "You could...let him know what this means."

"Oh like you do with Aizawa."

"I'd like to point out that I haven't met him yet so how could I," I argued.

"Mmhmm. That's why."

"It is!"

"Are you sure you're not my secret mom or something?" Jenny asked and I gave her a soft frown.

"Yes, I'm sure. Lots of people have quirk overlap. I would've remembered having a child that was half washing machine," I pointed out and she shrugged, laying back to look at the ends of her hair.

"So what do I do mom?" Jenny asked and I shook my head.

"Honestly, just be there."

"Be there?"

"Well he doesn't or in theory shouldn't see you everyday because of his schedule. If you want to be friends or date him. Be there. Make sure he knows who you are and what your like. Stop him in the hall. That way he knows you're consistent and fun to be around," I said.

"That's...actually good advice."

"Have you no faith in me?" I asked, smiling slightly. "Do as I say, not as I do."

"Fair enough. When are you going to put your plan in action then?" Jenny asked, leaning back smugly. "Do you even have a plan?"

"I have a plan," I denounced.

"And that would be?" I paused, not having the slightest inclination as to how to run into him casually or anything past that.

"So I don't have a plan."

"You should just knock on his door and be like, date? No balls."

"Jenny."

"Joue."

"Why don't you just do that with Kirishima?" I asked. She paused.

"You're right. Points have been made. I'll try the being there thing," Jenny replied.

"You do that."

"I will."

"So what did you need for the rest of the half hour?"

"I don't know, do you have anything for lunch mom?" Jenny asked, peering around my room. I frowned before rooting around my desk for some fruit gummies. I tossed them at her, letting her sit in my office and talk about the new costume she was making as I filled out my calendar for next month.
