Their kiss wasn't perfect. It was sloppy but...at them same time...something about it felt good.
When their lips parted Kyoka's cheeks turned red.
She couldn't believe she just did that.
They both stood there staring at each other.
She noticed his cheeks were red too.
RING RING RING!
Kyoka's phone suddenly rang.
She pulled it out of her pocket, and saw that Momo was calling her.
"H-Hello?" She couldn't stop her voice from shaking.
"KYOKA? Finally!" Momo's voice came through the other side of the phone.
"S-sorry. Kaminari and I..." Kyoka paused a moment. "We went on a ride. I guess there wasn't any service while we were on it."
"Oh good! We figured you probably ended up together."
"WHAT?" Kyoka asked immediately.
Denki gave her a confused look, because she had yelled.
There was a pause. "You know...we figured you both got lost together...when we all got separated." Momo said.
Oh. Of course...
Kyoka ignored his confused look.
"Right, right. Anyway are you with everyone else then?" Kyoka quickly changed the subject.
"Yup! Unfortunately, I was lost with Mineta for a little bit..."
"COME ON, THAT WAS NOT UNFORTUNATE!" Mineta's voice echoed in the background.
"but we recently ran into everyone again." Momo continued. "Anyway, where are you and Kaminari?"
"We just went through the haunted house." Kyoka told her.
"Haunted house...Hey! I think we see you two!"
Kyoka looked around and then she saw Momo waving to her.
Behind Momo were Mineta, Hagakure, Ojiro, Ashido, Sero, and at the very back Kirishima and Bakugo.
Kyoka hung up and put her phone back in her pocket.
Her and Denki looked at each other for a second before blushing and looking away again.
Whatever had just happened between them...they'd have to put away their feeling about it away for now.
KAMINARI RESIDENCE: DENKI'S BEDROOM [NIGHT]
The rest of the day went on with Denki and Kyoka pretending like nothing had happened between them.
When evening came around, everyone went their separate ways and Kyoka left with Yaoyorozu, Hagakure, and Ashido. So, Denki found that he had never gotten the chance to talk to her about their kiss or anything else.
His heart was racing as he lay on his bed in his room at his parents home thinking about the kiss and what exactly he may be feeling for Kyoka.
He had always thought Jiro was really cute, and he liked holding her today. Plus kissing her felt really good...even if it wasn't a perfect kiss. Not to mention that he admired her quirk and how smart she was with using it. He probably thought about her more than any other girl he knew...and he had totally fantasied about her, more times then he'd like to admit. So yeah... he totally had a crush on her. And now they kissed...or rather, she kissed him.
He needed to talk to her about it.
Denki pulled out his phone from his pocket, then he took a deep breath.
"Hey." He texted Kyoka.
A few minutes passed.
"Hey." Kyoka replied.
"Can we talk about what happened?" He quickly texted back.
Another pause.
"Alright. Where?" Kyoka sent.
She wanted to meet in person!
Denki thought for a moment.
"How about the big park up the street from UA? We could meet by the Pillar of Justice statue."
"Okay. I can be there in 30 minutes." Kyoka texted back.
"Seeya there." He texted then he pocketed his phone and jumped out of bed.
Now... he just had to figure out what he was even going to say...
Maybe he didn't think this through...
Meanwhile...
YAOYOROZU RESIDENCE: MOMO'S BEDROOM [NIGHT]
Kyoka, Momo, Hagakure, and Ashido were sitting on Momo's bed together.
"YOU AND KAMINARI KISSED?" Ashido shouted.
Maybe telling them was a mistake...but they were her friends and she needed advice.
"Okay, okay yes...we kissed...I mean I kissed him." Kyoka's face was bright red.
"And he kissed you back?" Ashido's eyes were gleaming
"Well yeah..." Kyoka nodded.
"This is too exciting! I mean... Mashirao and I haven't even kissed yet..." Hagakure said.
"That's...that's true, and you two are the only real class 1A couple." Kyoka replied.
What would it be like if her and Kaminari were to...become a couple?
Her face turned even redder at just the thought of it.
"The only couple that we know of." Ashido added. "I have some theories about a few secret ones..."
"You're seriously not going to go on and on right now about your Kirishima/Bakugo theory are you?" Hagakure groaned.
"You can't tell me that there's nothing between them!" Ashido replied. "I've known Kirishima since middle school, and I totally knew when he liked someone back then! Plus who knows what they were doing today when we all got separated and they got lost together! If Jiro and Kaminari were kissing...I can only imagine..."
"Please, if there's something between any of the boys it's totally Midoriya and Bakugo!" Hagakure argued. "Talk about complicated."
"No! Midoriya clearly likes...Uraraka, he's always teaming up with her." Ashido pointed out.
This was getting out of hand...
Kyoka turned and looked at Momo who had been keeping quiet this whole time.
She was stunned to see her smirking intensely at her.
"Momo..." Kyoka said in a scared voice.
"I knew you liked Kaminari." Momo said, still smirking.
Suddenly, Kyoka felt her phone vibrate.
She pulled it out and saw that she had a text message from Kaminari.
"Hey." The text from him read.
"He texted me." She said to the girls.
"WHAT!?" Ashido and Hagakure finally stopped arguing.
"Let me see." Momo demanded.
"Calm down, he said "hey." That's all he said." Kyoka showed all of them.
But, her heart was racing a bit.
"Well you need to say "hey" back!" Ashido said.
"I will, I will!" Kyoka started typing.
"Hey." She replied as the girls watched over her shoulder.
"Next time try using some cute emojis." Hagakure offered.
"What? emojis really aren't my style..."
Kyoka's phone lit up and buzzed with another text.
"Can we talk about what happened?" Momo read outloud.
"This is so exciting!" Hagakure squealed.
Kyoka's heart was really racing now.
"Make him meet you in person." Ashido told her. "Who wants a love confession over the phone?"
"Hmmm, that's a good point." Momo nodded.
Love confession?
"G-guys...come on he's not going to confess his love for me!" Kyoka said nervously.
"You don't know that. Besides, he at least likes you. I can tell." Ashido gave her a thumbs up.
"Well you also think that Kirishima and Bakugo are secretly dating so..." Kyoka replied.
"Oh come on! That's a solid theory!" Ashido whined.
"I think he likes you." Hagakure chimed in.
"As do I." Momo nodded.
Kyoka blushed.
Well, he did call her cute...and he kissed her back.
"Fine then." She said.
"Alright. Where?" Kyoka texted him back.
The girls waited with anticipation.
"How about the big park up the street from UA? We could meet by the Pillar of Justice statue." Kaminari replied after a few minutes.
"You could take the train and be there in thirty minutes from here." Momo told Kyoka.
"Okay. I can be there in 30 minutes." Kyoka texted back.
"Seeya there." He sent.
Kyoka's heart was pounding in her chest.
THE PARK: THE PILLAR OF JUSTICE [NIGHT]
Denki approached the Pillar of Justice statue, which was literally just a giant marble pillar in the center of the park.
All five of the paths that lead to the statue where lit up by street lamps and the starry night sky. Some fireflies twinkled in the well-kept grass that the paths divided, and the Pillar of Justice was illuminated by three spot lights.
It was a beautiful night.
Denki pulled out his phone and decided to text Kyoka that he had arrived.
"I'm here." He sent.
"Entering the park now." She texted back after a moment.
Denki felt his heart beginning to race.
Why was he getting so nervous all the sudden?
After a few minutes, he could see Kyoka walking towards him on one of the paths.
He waved to her.
She was still wearing her cute outfit from earlier...which made him even more nervous.
"Hey." She said once she reached him.
"Hey." Denki replied.
There was a long moment of silence as both of them stood there, staring at the ground, blushing.
"So uhm..." Denki finally spoke up. "You kissed me."
"I-I know." Kyoka replied.
They both looked up at each other.
"Well yeah..." He laughed nervously. "I just wanted to know...how did you feel when we kissed?"
"How...did I feel?" Kyoka's face turned an even brighter red.
He nodded.
"Well...it was sloppy." She said pouting. "Have you ever even kissed a girl before?"
"Ouch, well okay. Yes...I have kissed a girl before." Denki told her. "Have you ever kissed a boy before?"
"Of course!" Kyoka replied.
"Then, it was probably sloppy because we aren't used to kissing each other." Denki explained.
They both blushed and stared at the ground.
"Sorry I didn't mean to imply anything there." He said after a moment. "Even though, I would like to kiss you again..."
Did he seriously just say that out loud?
There was another moment of silence.
"Well, should we kiss again? Y-you know to see if that's true!" Kyoka blurted out suddenly and looked up at him.
"YES!" Denki replied without hesitation. "I mean, good idea!" He looked up at her too.
"Okay, so kiss me then!" Kyoka said quickly.
"Huh? Oh! You want me to do it this time? Well, okay!" Denki inched closer to her.
Damn, his heart was totally pounding in his chest.
He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers.
Well, it was definitely a much smoother start then before, because they both knew it was coming this time.
He pressed his lips a little harder against hers.
Okay, that felt really good.
Denki placed his hands on her waist pulled her in closer as they kissed, and Kyoka's hands made their way to his hair.
She began running her finger through it, which drove him absolutely wild.
Then suddenly, without realizing it, Denki accidentally shot off his quirk at a low percentage...sending a jolt of electricity throughout both of their bodies.
"Woa, sorry!" He said, after their lips parted.
He had gotten a little too excited by that kiss.
"I-It's okay." Kyoka said.
That kiss was way less sloppy, and they actually knew how the other person kissed because of earlier so their lips just kinda...melted together. It was nice until he shocked them both. Denki really wanted try kissing her again. But it wasn't just that...he wanted to tell her how he felt.
"Jiro, we should go out." He blurted out suddenly.
Shit. Well, he didn't mean to say it like that.
"I mean...I like you. I really have feelings for you and I think that we should go out on a date." Denki said in a calmer voice.
Kyoka's was pounding in her chest again.
Did he really just blurt that out?
Kaminari...they had first met at the entrance exam for UA. Her first impression of him was that he was attractive; maybe that's why she talked to him? She quickly realized that he was kind of a dummy. But, they both were accepted into the school and they sat next to each other in class and teamed up often. While most of the time he was acting like a dummy, or sometimes like an absolute pervert...he always made her laugh. They liked the same music and he put up with her teasing. Now, he was telling her that he wanted to be more than friends...which was probably her fault for kissing him in the first place...
Why had she kissed him?
Probably because...she liked him too.
She was just always brushing aside the thought...but there was really no use in doing that anymore...
"I'll go out with you." Kyoka said blushing. "Because...I like you too."
