Rewrite the Stars | KamiJirou

Chapter 14

Dinner was at a restaurant a few blocks from the hotel, meaning the band members could get there in a few minutes simply by walking. It was a nice, homey restaurant with delicious food and good service. Once they'd eaten dinner there, everyone headed back to their hotel rooms. 

Jirou decided to spend her free time in a chair on the balcony, the breeze gently rustling her purple hair gently. She held an open book in her hands. It was the romance novel she had been reading in the van during the drive, before she'd been interrupted by Kaminari.

"Earphoneeees!" Kaminari yelled from inside the room.

And...I'm once again interrupted by that blonde doofus, she thought to herself in irritation. "What do you want?!" She yelled back.

"The guys and I are going to the pool," He called. "You wanna come along or stay here?"

"I guess I can come along, but I'm not swimming," Jirou replied as she stepped back inside, sliding the glass door shut. She could find some lounge chair near the pool and read while the others goofed off. Once she grabbed her phone and a pair of earbuds, they left the room.

Jirou followed Kaminari through the hotel. He was in yellow swim trunks, with the top half of his body completely bare. She didn't realize he had such nice abs...and that he was extremely attractive to her in his current state. Too bad he's an idiot, she thought quickly, trying to suppress the blush that threatened to spread across her face. What the hell am I thinking?!

The entire walk was filled with surprisingly peaceful silence between them, in contrast to the lively chatter of the scattered people around them. Jirou plugged her earbuds in and turned on her music to drown out the background noise. 

As they stepped out of two glass doors to the pool area outside, she inhaled the scent of the air, which smelled faintly of chlorine but strongly of the sea. It was so refreshing. Thankfully, there were many lounge chairs a few feet away from the pool, which was huge. The pool was one long rectangle, with a shallow end on one side and a deep end on the other, gradually sloping down. An elevated square -perhaps a hot tub- was in one corner of the deep end side, a foot or two higher than the rest of the pool. Small trickling waterfalls fell down from two sides, straight into the larger pool. 

There were a decent amount of people in the pool or nearby, while a few occupied some lounge chairs. The sun was setting in the distance, but the horizon was blocked by trees and greenery, making it hard to see.

Kaminari spotted the redhead and the angry blonde in the pool, waving at them. "Kirishima! Bakugou!" He yelled, catching their attention. Kirishima waved back, while Bakugou just gave him an annoyed glare.

Jirou took a seat on a lounge chair, making herself comfortable before leaning back and opening her book. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched as Kaminari approached a few ladies, winking at them and saying something. Of course, she thought with an unsurprised sigh. Kaminari the flirt. She continued to read, intrigued with the plot. 

"Cannonball!" Kaminari yelled, running towards the pool and jumping in, making a huge splash.

He's so childish, Jirou thought, rolling her eyes in amusement and turning back to her book. 

"Show-off," I muttered again.

He smiled.

"No, he continued, "I was thinking there was something I wanted to try." And he took my face in his hands agai-

Before she could finish reading the sentence, Jirou heard a loud splash. Water splattered all over her, many droplets landing on her book. "Alright, who the hell did that?!" She asked angrily, setting the book down and getting out of her seat.
