Chapter 70 | Stupid Perfectly Timed Cherry Blossom Petals!

Kaminari's Pov.

  A lightning bolt of realization struck him.

  "Actually," Kaminari started, "Have either of you said "I love you" to each other yet?"

  Green Tea paled, then blushed at the comment.

  "I- er..." Uraraka stuttered, but then pushed her index fingers together, "No..."

  Midoriya shook his head and looked down at his green tea again, probably staring at his reflections.

  Then Midoriya looked up at him, and he saw Uraraka's gaze turned to Kaminari too.

  "I'm waiting for the right moment," they both had determined expressions.

  That was when they both glanced at each other and flushed a deep red again.

  'I wish Kyoka and I would have moments like these...'

  "I-I know you're comparing us to them still..." Jiro's voice was sad, "Stop it..."

  He couldn't say anything. She was right... He was looking at them and wishing for something he couldn't have... And Kyoka was forced to watch his expressions...

  "Kyoka..." he called her name and touched her shoulder.

  "Stop touching me..." she growled, "I've sat through this whole thing for you! And this is what you're doing..."

  Guilt made his stomach churn.

  "Kyoka... I'm sorry..." Kaminari wanted to hug her but knew that would only make her angrier.

  "We'll just leave for a bit..." Uraraka took Midoriya's arm and dragged him away.

  "Kyoka, can we sort this out?" he asked.

  "You're annoying," she grumbled, but still turned to look at him.

  "Why don't you believe me when I say "I love you"?" Kaminari pleaded for an answer.

  "You always compare us to everyone else! You also wish that I was prettier..." Kyoka replied.

  "When did I ever say that?" Kaminari questioned in a gentle voice.

  "I can see it in your eyes..." she admitted.

  "Then you obviously can't read body language," he prodded her shoulder.

  She didn't look at him.

  "How come you suddenly changed tune and started to like me?" Kyoka's voice was breaking a little bit.

  "Does love need an explanation?" he answered her with a question.

  "This one does..." she insisted.

  "Well... It started because I wanted to tease you," Kaminari started, "But then I actually developed feelings for your cute smile, tsundere personality, and your love for music."

  He saw that Kyoka blushed at that.

  "You have things that your friends don't have, that's why I like you so much," that was when Kyoka glared at him a little.

  He felt panic bubble, so he just blurted, "Not that your friends aren't great! But I like you. Not them. Not anyone else."

  Kyoka smiled a little bit.

  "Thanks... Kaminari..." she leaned against him for less than a second, but then sat upright again.

  "Just because our relationship is different from theirs, doesn't mean that it's bad," he grinned at her.

  "I'm glad to hear you say that," Kyoka smiled at him a little bit, "I was waiting for those words to come out of your mouth idiot."

  That was when-

Jiro's Pov.

  "How come you suddenly changed tune and started to like me?" she felt her voice shake, even though she was trying to keep it calm.

  "Does love need an explanation?" he answered her with a question.

  "This one does..." she trailed off.

  'I need to know...'

  "Well... It started because I wanted to tease you," Kaminari told her.

  She felt her heart sink.

  'That's it? Was he really just playing me this whole time..?'

  She couldn't look at him.

  "But then I actually developed feelings for your cute smile, tsundere personality, and your love for music."

  Jiro felt blush dust her cheeks when he said that.

  "You have things that the other girls don't have, that's why I like you so much," Kaminari told her.

  'So my friends aren't good enough for him!?'

  She shouldn't have felt offended, but for some reason she was.

  Jiro shot Kaminari a glare.

  "Not that your friends aren't great!" panic filled his voice, but then it got softer for what he said next, "But I like you."

  She felt her heart skip a beat.

  "Not them."

  "Not anyone else."

  'Stupid perfectly timed cherry blossom petals!'

  The petals were raining all around them now, making the moment even more romantic- cheesy then it had to be.

  "Thanks, Kaminari..." she leaned against him for a second, but then sat up again.

  "Just because our relationship is different from theirs, doesn't mean that it's bad," he grinned at her.

  "I'm glad to hear you say that," Kyoka smiled at him a little bit, "I was waiting for those words to come out of your mouth idiot."

  That was when the petals rained down even more vigorously.

  'Why does-'

  That was when Kaminari pulled her in for a kiss!

  Her eyes widened, and as much surprise jolted her... She didn't move. 

  Kaminari wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her in closer.

  "Finally!" a voice came from the cherry tree. No... Not just any voice... What was Mina doing in the tree!?

  Jiro pulled away from Kaminari and stood up quickly.

  "I can't believe this! No wonder I was so annoyed at the perfectly timed cherry blossom petals!" Jiro shouted angrily, she couldn't contain her anger!

  "Yes I was moving the branches so that they could fall at the right time, but that's not the point!" Mina wore a mischievous smirk, "Kaminari kissed you and you didn't pull away for at least one second."

  "Uh- I- Well..." she glanced at Kaminari, who looked quite happy, "Fine I didn't! Are you both happy?"

  "Very," Kaminari grinned at her.

  "Extremely," Mina was still smirking.

  Jiro crossed her arms, she felt exposed!

  "Come on Jiro," Kaminari stood up and held out his hand, "Let's go find Green Tea."

  Some cherry blossoms floated down around them-

  "Mina! Stop it!" she huffed, spinning around.

  Mina was cracking up.

  "Fine," Jiro grabbed Kaminari's hand and started to walk away, "Mina, you better not follow us!"
