Yaoyorozu arrives with a tray of tea and cookies. "Please help yourself."
"Wow you sure know how to treat a girl." Kyouka laughs.
Yaoyorozu only shakes her head and sips her tea. "I've noticed that your attendance has gotten better. But you could start showing up for algebra more."
"Fuck math."
"I really wish you wouldn't use that kind of language here."
"Fuck that." Kyouka smirks and Yaoyorozu rolls her eyes. "So, where's your parents?"
"I live alone." Yaoyorozu sips her tea.
"No way. In a big ass house like this?" Kyouka grabs her tea cup.
"That's right. They sent me away to attend UA and become more independent. I have to make them proud."
Kyouka nods, "I see. No wonder why you're such a strict prez. But," Kyouka finally takes a sip of her tea. "Oh wow this is really good." Drinking it made her feel calmer and more relaxed, "So this is a luxury of the rich..." She makes eye contact with Yaoyorozu who was watching her closely, "As I was saying, it's not bad that you're strict."
"How so?" Yaoyorozu sets down her tea cup and folds her hands on the table.
"Well," Kyouka puts her own tea cup down as well. "You have something to show for it. Take me for example. Your constant nagging and scolding has done me some good." Kyouka crosses her arms and leans back in her chair. "Although you're strict, you're still a good prez."
Yaoyorozu looks down and smiles. "Wow what the fuck." She shyly grabs her tea cup and sips from it before responding, "Well as your Student Council President, I would like you to come to algebra more."
Kyouka shakes her head and sighs, "Prez you ruined the moment."
"I don't know how you made it into UA but good luck." She smirks at Kyouka for the first time. Yaoyorozu's smirk was like an invitation for a challenge. "Is she in a playful mood, or am I just being gay?"
"Obviously because of my talent and good lucks." Kyouka smirks back, waiting for the other girl's response.
"Ew." Yaoyorozu laughs. Kyouka had never heard such a cute laugh before. If she died now, she'd probably die fulfilled. "Holy fuck that was actually cute." Kyouka stares at Yaoyorozu for a couple seconds. "So what are your parents like?"
"My parents..." Kyouka can't help but just look at Yaoyorozu. There was no way Kyouka could deny that the other girl was beautiful. "...My parents are musicians. So naturally I took after them."
"You know, I've never actually heard you play."
"That's because you only come when we're taking breaks or when I'm songwriting. I have a schedule."
"This just means you have to play for me one day."
"Alright, but I charge heavy. 5,000 yen per song." Kyouka leans back.
Yaoyorozu laughs once again, but hides her mouth behind her hand, "You're amusing, Jirou-san."
"Say my name again will ya?"
"Damn - This tea is really good." Kyouka clears her throat.
"I'm glad you like it! I actually got it from my mother and I've been meaning to try it. Oh, do you think the others will enjoy it this weekend?" Yaoyorozu's tone shifts significantly. Kyouka blinks her eyes a few times. "Is this real life?"
"Uh...Yeah prez." Kyouka nods slowly. She brings her hands up to her chin and holds them together.
"Oh, that's great! I wonder what kind of snacks they would all like." She smiles to herself, as if Kyouka wasn't sitting right across from her. Kyouka watches as the other girl mumbles to herself, about tea and snacks. She leans comfortably on her hand as the other girl starts to plan their upcoming study session. "What should I prepare?"
"Whatever you want. Dealer's choice." Kyouka replies. Yaoyorozu nods and starts rambling about some random snack that she thinks goes well with the tea she has. Kyouka just watches.
Watching Yaoyorozu "unwind" like that made Kyouka rethink her opinion about the other girl. "I think I've been wrong about her this whole time. She's just trying to make her parents proud, so that's why she's so strict. But she's not all...that bad."
"-Jirou-san?" Yaoyorozu gives Kyouka a confused look.
"Huh?" Kyouka panics. She's afraid her face will turn red at any second.
"Are you excited for our study session with everyone?" Yaoyorozu softens her voice.
"Wow...I wish she'd talk to me like this more often..." Kyouka nervously swallows and looks off to the side, "Y-Yeah."
"Great! Me too."
After an hour of chatting together, Kyouka finally takes her leave. Once she exits Yaoyorozu's gate, she pulls out her phone. There were plenty of messages from everyone in the delinquent group chat. Kyouka scans over them quickly before texting.
Ashido: kyouka hasn't replied in awhile, u guys think they're,,,?
Kyouka's face turns beet red, and she furiously types into her phone
Jirou: MINA STOP
Kyouka lets out a long sigh. She puts her phone back into her pocket and starts her walk home. She was lucky Yaoyorozu didn't live far because she was ready to lay in bed. Yaoyorozu's house was close to her own, but not close enough for the other girl to accidentally stumble upon it. Her phone suddenly vibrates and she opens it quickly.
Kaminari: JIROU LIVES
Ashido: SPILL RIGHT NOW.
Jirou: ok long story short i think i'm a lil gayer now but she's not all that bad!
Bakugou: called it.
Jirou: fuck YOU.
She shakes her head before typing the next message.
Jirou: but I got her number!
After showering and eating dinner, Kyouka jumps on the couch and shuffles through the channels on TV. She leans on her hand and hears her phone vibrate against the couch. She picks up her phone.
Yaoyorozu: Hey, Jirou! I hope you made it home safely, please text me back.
Kyouka absentmindedly smiles down at her phone.
Jirou: I'm home, thanks for asking.
Yaoyorozu: Okay good. Since I have your number now, that means I get to bother you to come to class more.
Jirou: give me a break pls.
Kyouka laughs and lays down, facing the ceiling. Her phone vibrates in her hand and she brings it above her face.
Yaoyorozu: See you in class tomorrow ;)
Kyouka drops her phone and smirks to herself. She closes her eyes, "See you tomorrow prez..." She mumbles before drifting off to sleep.
"Bzzzzzt!"
Kyouka shakes awake. "Huh?" She rubs her eyes. She sits up and finds herself laying on the couch with the TV still on. She runs her hand through her hair and yawns. Her phone was going off next to her. Kyouka groans and grabs it, reading two messages from Yaoyorozu.
Yaoyorozu: Jirou!
Yaoyorozu: Where are you?
"Huh..." Kyouka scratches her head. She checks the time. It was currently 8:06. "Oh...So that's why." She overslept and school had just started.
Jirou: sorry I overslept.
Kyouka lays back down on the couch. Almost instantly, Yaoyorozu replies.
Yaoyorozu: I really believed this whole skipping class act was over...I guess I was wrong.
Jirou: relax prez, I'm coming now. u gonna yell at me when i get there?
Yaoyorozu: Maybe.
Kyouka's cheeks warm, "Huh? What's with that reply..." Kyouka drops her phone. She takes a deep breathe, picks it back up, and screenshots the chat, sending it to the rest of the delinquents.
Jirou: um?
Ashido: maybe she's got a soft spot for you.
Kaminari: ngl i saw her eyeing ur empty chair when class started.
Kirishima: she's probably gay for you too.
Ashido: want us to investigate for u?
Jirou: im NOT gay for her.
Tokoyami: sure you aren't.
Kyouka raises on of her eyebrows. Tokoyami never really replies in the group chat, so it was a surprise.
Kaminari: TOKOYAMI FINALLY REPLIED MAYBE HE DOES LOVE US!
Tokoyami: ...anyways, you're lucky yaoyorozu's at the front right now.
Ashido: lol kaminari he totally just ignored ur message.
Bakugou: bird brain's right.
Bakugou: stop bothering me with this gay bullshit.
Kirishima: mute the chat bro.
Bakugou: fine.
Although Kyouka told Yaoyorozu that she was on her way, she was actually still lazing around her house. Kyouka arrived at school just in time for free period. When Kyouka arrived to the studio, Yaoyorozu was there waiting for her. "Oh, hey prez." Kyouka waves cheerfully. The time she spent with Yaoyorozu the previous day, made Kyouka feel good about their friendship.
Kyouka throws her bag down on the table and sits down on her favorite chair, throwing her legs on the table. "What brings you here?" Kyouka leans back, smirking when her shoes block Yaoyorozu's face from her own. She can hear Yaoyorozu huff in annoyance as she pulls out her music notebook from her bag. She opens the book and lands on the page she was last writing on.
"Jirou-san." Yaoyorozu's fingers appear on Kyouka's notebook, pulling it from the shorter girl's grasp.
"Wha-" Before Kyouka can even try and ask why, Yaoyorozu slams her notebook on the table, silencing Kyouka. She nervously swallows as Yaoyorozu towers over her.
"I can't believe I actually believed you." She crosses her arms. "I should've known. You're a troublemaker at heart. You would never rush to school for anything but music."
"Oh, c'mon prez. Is that what you're mad about?" Kyouka tilts her head. "I laid back down and it was really comfy-"
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you. Do better tomorrow." Yaoyorozu uncharacteristically flicks Kyouka's forehead, making the other girl wince in surprise. She leaves without another word, leaving Kyouka stunned.
"What was that..."
It was the day of the study session at Yaoyorozu's house. Living so close to the other girl, Kyouka didn't feel any rush. She could be a few minutes late, but she knew going over 20 minutes would be really pushing it. Yaoyorozu was going out of her way to tutor her and the others, so maybe she should put more effort in coming at a reasonable time. Kyouka nods to herself.
She was just going over to a friend's house to study, there was no need to dress out. She chose a comfy pair of jeans, and a navy blue long sleeve. Throwing her school bag over her shoulder, Kyouka exits her home and starts her short walk to Yaoyorozu's house.
Once she is outside the gate, Kyouka finally registers what she was doing. "I'm going to...the prez's house again..." Kyouka swallows nervously.
Their relationship had definitely shifted from just bickering to actually being a normal friendship, with the occasional arguments. Kyouka was indeed still a delinquent, and Yaoyorozu wasn't going to give up on "helping" Kyouka become a better student.
"Jirou!" Kaminari's voice breaks Kyouka's train of thought. She looks over in the direction of his voice to find the others walking towards her. He waves at her enthusiastically, with Mina, Sero, and Ojirou behind him.
"Oh, hey you guys." Kyouka lets out a breath of relief.
"Why haven't you gone in yet?" Sero asks.
"Uh, I had to tie my shoe." Kyouka avoids eye contact. But Mina quickly jumps up to Kyouka's face, with a smug expression.
"Sure, Kyouka. I like your slip on vans." Mina smirks and Kaminari and Sero laugh, with Ojirou awkwardly laughing in the back.
"Shut up." Kyouka shoves her hands in her pockets and opens the gate. "Let's just get this over with."
So far, the study session was going well. Yaoyorozu wasn't being as strict as she was in the classroom, she was extremely helpful and patient. Kyouka didn't need as much help as the others, but she still listened in on all of Yaoyorozu's explanations. She leans comfortably on her hand as she watches Yaoyorozu put on some fancy reading glasses and goes over math procedures for Mina and Sero. "Nerd." Kyouka giggles to herself, but Kaminari catches it and kicks her shin under the table.
"Ow!" Kyouka curses, and Yaoyorozu turns to her.
"Are you alright?" She asks. Kyouka nods and picks up her pencil. Once she's sure that the other girl isn't looking, Kyouka shoots a glare at Kaminari.
"What was that for?" Kyouka mouths, furrowing her eyebrows at the blonde haired boy. He only smirks in response, nudging at Ojirou. Ojirou raises an eyebrow in confusion, looking at Kyouka for any kind of answer.
Kyouka shakes her head at him and clenches her fist at Kaminari. He shrugs and looks down at his lap. Kyouka's phone vibrates.
Kaminari: stop being gay
Kyouka looks up at Kaminari and crosses her arms, before replying.
Jirou: fuck u
"I think it's time for a break." Yaoyorozu sets down her notebook and takes off her glasses.
"Me too." Kaminari throws his arms over his notebook and lays his head on the table.
"So, Yao-momo." Mina clears her throat. "How is the student council?"
"We're fine." She replies. "How is your...group of troublemakers?"
"We're doing just great." Mina pats Kyouka's back, "Right, Kyouka?"
"Y-Yeah..." Kyouka slowly answers.
"C'mon Ashido, don't ask the boring questions." Kaminari sits back up and shows off his stupid grin. "I would like to ask you all for advice."
"Sure, about what?" Yaoyorozu raises an eyebrow as she sips on her tea.
"Why are you talking like that..." Kyouka scratches her cheek and gives him a confused look.
"I need love advice." He sighs.
"Huh?"
"Kaminari, are you sure you want to be asking this group this question." Kyouka deadpans at him. Mina wasn't the best, and Kyouka herself was in that boat. Sero is just as bad as Kaminari, and Kyouka doesn't know anything about Ojirou. As for Yaoyorozu, Kyouka can't even imagine her in a relationship.
"Aw, Kaminari has a crush?" Mina teases him and he grins.
"It's cool that you're so open about it man." Sero pats him on the back.
"Yeah, I don't have the courage to talk about something like this in front of many people." Ojirou comments.
"Well, yeah! I've been thinking about it for awhile." Kaminari stretches his arms and leans back in his seat. "It's been eating me up."
"I may not be the best person to ask, but I will do my best to help you, Kaminari-san." Yaoyorozu smiles at him.
"Man, can't she smile at me?"
Kyouka shakes her head. She puts her head in her hands and rubs her cheeks quickly. "Stupid thoughts."
"Do you guys remember Shinsou? From the sports festival?" Kaminari starts.
"...How could I..." Ojirou shivers in his seat.
"O-Ojirou..." Kyouka mutters.
"Ah yeah. He was the guy with purple hair? Midoriya's first match, right?" Sero looks around for nods of approval.
"So, that's the guy you have a crush on?" Kyouka leans back in her chair.
"Wow, I didn't think you'd be into emo guys who look like they haven't slept in 3 days." Mina whistles.
"He's not emo!" Kaminari pouts.
"We'll let Tokoyami be the judge of that." Kyouka waves her hand and laughs. "So, what's the problem?" Kyouka glances at Yaoyorozu, who hasn't said a word.
"Well like...He's super hard to talk to." Kaminari sighs.
"Ooh, so like a Todoroki situation?" Mina replies.
"Todoroki situation?" Yaoyorozu tilts her head. "What do you mean?"
Mina looks at Kyouka and nudges her. "I have to tell her?" Kyouka looks at a confused Yaoyorozu. She sighs. "Um...So you remember how Todoroki was basically kind of an ass at the beginning of the school year?"
"Yes, I remember."
"And how he specifically said 'I'm not here to make friends.'?"
"Yes."
"So basically, Shinsou's kind of the same way I guess?" Kyouka looks over at Kaminari who nods.
"I see." Yaoyorozu nods. "How many times have you spoken to him?"
"Uh...Maybe 3 times?" Kaminari laughs awkwardly while Kyouka shakes her head.
"That's why. You're not even friends yet." Kyouka crosses her arms.
"Well, what should I do?"
"It seems like the only thing to do is to talk to him." Yaoyorozu starts.
"I agree. You'll have to wear him down or something." Kyouka shrugs.
"C'mon Jirou, you can do better than that." Kaminari whines. "How would you do it?"
"Do what? Make a friend?"
"Noooo Kyouka." Mina places a hand on Kyouka's shoulder. "How would you get to know someone that you like?"
"Huh?" Kyouka furrows her brows. She thinks about the situation she's in. Yaoyorozu was literally sitting right by her and she didn't want to be having this conversation in front of her. It wasn't like she had feelings for the taller girl, but she has been getting closer with Yaoyorozu these past few weeks. "Uh..." Kyouka mutters.
"C'mon." Kaminari smirks. Kyouka clenches her teeth and tries to calm herself down. She can feel Yaoyorozu's heavy gaze on her. "Fuck."
"Identity theft." Kyouka blurts out.
Mina, Sero, and Ojirou all burst into laughter. Kaminari deadpans and Kyouka doesn't bother looking at Yaoyorozu.
"Kyouka," Mina wipes a tear from her face, "what kind of answer was that?" She continues to laugh.
Kyouka's cheeks burn and she runs a hand through her hair in frustration. "Back off."
"Yao-momo, how would you do it?" Kaminari turns to the spiky haired girl. Kyouka doesn't want to look Yaoyorozu in the eyes, so she just looks down at her notebook in front of her and listens quietly.
"Hm." She starts. "I don't have much experience in the romance department, but I do believe that you should find something in common with your crush. It might make it easier to communicate and get along better."
"Wow, Yao-momo you're a genius..." Kaminari mutters.
"Everyone, please thank our savior Yao-momo." Mina says. "Since Kyouka is a wreck."
"Just because of that, you have to tell us who you think is cute." Sero adds in.
"S-Sero!" Kyouka yells.
"Ooh, nice touch, Sero!" Mina gives him a thumbs up and Kyouka's jaw drops.
"P-Prez, this is going off topic, right?" Kyouka looks at Yaoyorozu for help, but she simply sips on her tea. "Prez?"
"Go on." She replies, and the others cheer.
"Not you too..." Sweat drops down Kyouka's head. "I want to go home..."
"So, Kyouka..." Mina leans on Kyouka. "Who in class do you think is cute?"
"I don't think anyone's cute." Kyouka replies, trying to avoid any eye contact.
"C'mon, there's gotta be someone."
"Tell us!"
"Yeah, Jirou, hurry up!"
"Ugh, why can't they shut up?"
Kyouka rubs the back of her head and closes her eyes. "Just choose a fucking name other than the girl sitting next to you, Kyouka!"
"Hagakure."
Everyone goes quiet and Kyouka's cheeks start to burn.
"Kyouka..." Mina starts. "You...You can't even see her."
"Sh-Shut up!"
The study session came to an end after 4 hours of intense tutoring by Yaoyorozu. Kyouka was glad to receive help from her strict president, but the day had to end with Yaoyorozu thinking Kyouka was into an actual invisible girl. After the study session, a groupchat with herself, Mina, Kaminari, and Sero was made.
Jirou was added into "GAYS"
Ashido changed their name to Pinky
Kaminari changed their name to Eagle 1
Sero changed their name to Eagle 2
Jirou: what's with this chat
Jirou: why's it called gays
Pinky: because we're all gay here
Eagle 2: yeah u dumbass
Eagle 1: change your name!
Jirou: no thanks. what do u want
Pinky: we HAVE to talk about that disaster during the study sesh
Pinky: kyouka what the HELL was that
Pinky: hagakure,,, i died
Eagle 1: hagakure's cool tho, dont be rude
Pinky: im not!
Eagle 2: jirou we really thought you were going to say yao-momo right then and there
Eagle 1: my wig was almost snatched
Pinky: you chickened out
Pinky: boo
Kyouka rolls her eyes.
Jirou: back off, its your fault we even had that conversation
Jirou: i dont like the prez like that anyway
Jirou: shes just hot and i needed to study, alright?
Pinky: alright
Eagle 1: sure
Eagle 2: ok
Kyouka sighs and sinks into her couch. Yaoyorozu is indeed hot, but Kyouka wouldn't go out of her way to date her or anything. They were both from opposing friend groups, it's not meant to be. And Kyouka was fine with that.
Final exams came quickly and today was the day everyone was getting their scores back. "You may look at your scores once I give them to you." Aizawa handed back scores in number order, and Kyouka was number 12. Mina was seat number 2 and judging by her reaction, she failed. The next person of their group was Kaminari. He had a similar reaction to Mina's.
"Yikes..." Kyouka watches as he lays his head on his desk, in defeat. Looking behind him, Kirishima looked as if his soul left his body. "I guess Kirishima didn't pass either…"
All her friends reactions made her stomach drop. Kyouka didn't feel very good about math and english but she had to get a passing grade. Those two subjects shouldn't be the cause of failure, right?
Aizawa placed her papers face down and Kyouka gulps. She didn't want to wait any longer so she quickly flipped over her papers. In giant red marker, her first score was a 90 out of 100. She quickly looks through the other scores. Most of them were around the 80s to 90s. But the last two scores could've been better. She had received a 65 out of 100 for her math and a 73 out of 100 for english. Kyouka didn't care at this point, passing was passing. She let out a breath of relief and slumped down in her chair. "Thank fuck..." Kyouka mutters.
"Alright moving on..." Aizawa's voice brings Kyouka back into reality. She sits back up. "Now that finals are over, we have two weeks off. Those of you who have failed will have to take supplementary classes. For the rest of you, take this time to rest and be ready for the next semester. Plus Ultra."
"I can't believe I failed! Even with Yao-momo's help..." Mina slumps over the bleachers. Kyouka sits down on the bleacher above Mina and pats her shoulder. She leans back and rests her arm on the bleacher above her own.
"Cheer up. That's the whole reasons why we're here. Take a look." Kyouka motions over to where the cheerleaders were stretching.
It was now free period. But instead of being in the studio, they had a change of scenery. Mina felt lousy about failing her final, and Kyouka knew that observing cheerleading practice would probably make her feel better. Watching cute cheerleaders would probably make anyone feel better(except Kyouka), but Mina's eyes only were only on a certain brown haired girl. Despite being on the student council, Uraraka was also on the cheer team.
Mina sighs, watching Uraraka and her teammates begin their routine. "She's so cute."
"When's the last time you talked to her?" Kyouka asks, leaning her head back.
"Yesterday."
"Well, there's no time like the present." Kyouka playfully slaps Mina's back, in an attempt to cheer her up.
"Shut up Kyouka." She pouts, "I don't wanna bother her."
"Sure sure." Kyouka leans back once more. The breeze felt perfect and the sun wasn't too bright. It was a perfect day for a nap outside. "Wake me up when something interesting happens."
Kyouka can feel someone shaking her knee, and she shakes awake. "Huh?" Kyouka shakes her head and darts up.
"She's coming." Mina continues to shake Kyouka's knee. Kyouka looks around and spots Uraraka walking towards them, with a water bottle in hand.
"I'm up, I'm up." Kyouka groans. She was somehow enjoying her sleep on the bleachers. She rubs her eyes and blinks a few times.
"Hey! Mina-chan, Kyouka-chan!" Uraraka waves at them, smiling brightly.
"H-Hey, Ochaco-chan!" Mina waves back, laughing awkwardly.
Kyouka scoffs and Mina quickly elbows her, "Yo, Uraraka."
"Kyouka-chan." Uraraka pouts, "I told you that Ochaco's fine!"
"Sorry sorry. It takes a little bit to get used to." Kyouka holds out her hands in defense.
"What are you both doing here?" She asks, tilting her head.
"We're uhh..." Mina starts. Kyouka raises an eyebrow as Mina starts to form words. Uraraka gives Mina a confused look, making the pink girl tense up even more. "Oh boy.."
"Just getting some fresh air. Being holed up in the studio isn't always so good." Kyouka pats Mina's shoulder and Uraraka nods in understanding.
"I see." She replies. Uraraka turns to Mina, "I thought you had dance practice during free period?"
"M-Me?" Mina asks.
Kyouka wanted to facepalm right then and there. "Who else would she be talking to?" Kyouka tries to discreetly kick Mina's back. Mina grunts quietly, "N-No. We have it after school."
"Oh! Then maybe I'll come watch you if I ever get the chance. Maybe it'll inspire me to spice up our routines."
"Yeah that would be cool..." Mina starts nodding. Kyouka realized after a while that it takes Mina a little bit to relax and act like her normal self around girls(Uraraka specifically). She could tell Mina was settling down.
Kyouka feels her phone vibrate in her pocket and she pulls it out. She tunes out the other two girls as she reads the message.
Yaoyorozu: What are you doing watching cheer practice?
Kyouka narrows her eyebrows in confusion.
Jirou: how the fuck do u know I'm watching cheer practice
Yaoyorozu: Look over here.
"Over where..." Kyouka mutters, raising her eyes from her phone screen. She looks all around the football field, looking for the spiky haired girl. "Am I blind or what..."
"Jirou-san." Yaoyorozu's voice makes Kyouka jump. She checks her surroundings and instantly spots the other girl standing right next to the bleachers.
"P-Prez!" Kyouka stands up, leaving both Mina and Uraraka to talk to each other. She walks over to the bleacher's edge, looking down at her spiky haired girl. "What are you doing here?"
"I asked you first." She replies, not making any eye contact.
Kyouka scoffs and sits down, gazing at the other girl from above. "So I'm not allowed to hangout on campus?"
"I didn't say that." Yaoyorozu looks offended, causing Kyouka's lips to form a smirk.
"Mina wanted to clear her head out here."
"So you are both observing the cheerleaders to clear your head? I didn't think you would be into cheerleaders." Yaoyorozu continues to stare in the direction of the rest of the cheerleaders.
"Hah?" Kyouka furrows her eyebrows.
"Then again, Hagakure-san is here...She looks nice."
"Wh-What are you even saying." Kyouka scratches her head. "I'm not into cheerleaders or Hagakure. I just said that so they would shut up."
"Sure."
"She's...not my type. Wait, I can't even see her..."
"Then what is your type?"
"Uhhh..." Kyouka can't even begin to form words. "Like..." Yaoyorozu's eyes finally meet Kyouka's and she almost says it's her. "Girls."
"Girls?" Yaoyorozu tilts her head, with an amusing smile. "Me too." Yaoyorozu hums to herself before walking away.
"What the hell just happened?"
"S-So you're just gonna leave like that?" Kyouka calls after her. She doesn't bother replying or turning back to reply. It leaves Kyouka stunned and confused. "So she's gonna come out to me and then just leave? What's her deal? And why...why do I feel so lost looking into her eyes?"
"So..." Kyouka can feel Mina's hand on her shoulder. "Girls?"
"Shut up, Mina."
The last couple of days before the break started, were pretty boring. Kaminari and Mina mostly came into the studio to hangout with Kyouka, because the others were busy. Bakugou was at practice and Tokoyami couldn't be bothered.
It was decided that the band would not meet during the two week break. Bakugou was too busy getting ready for basketball season to start, and Kaminari had remedial classes. Kyouka was still going to come in a few times, but she knew it wouldn't be the same without everyone else there with her.
A few days into the break, Kyouka decided to head to the studio. An hour or two of studio time would probably cure her of boredom.
Once she arrived to the studio, Kyouka brings out her favorite bass guitar. She dusts it off with a cloth and decides to run through a quick song, as a warm up.
"Jirou-san? I thought you would be at home." Yaoyorozu emerges from outside the studio. She quietly closes the door behind her, as Kyouka sets down her guitar.
"I was bored. It's not a crime to be here, right?" It was a genuine question, but Kyouka didn't know how to say it without sounding like an asshole.
"Well, no. I just thought you would have liked the two week break." She slowly walks over to the table.
"I do, but..." Kyouka stretches her arms out, "I'm just bored."
"I see." Yaoyorozu looks around the studio, gazing at the posters and messy layout.
"So...what are you doing here?" Kyouka asks.
"I'm making my rounds. I almost didn't come here today because no one else has been coming, but then I heard you playing."
"You still have work to do, even now?" Kyouka raises an eyebrow and Yaoyorozu nods.
"Being the student council president means making sacrifices."
Kyouka hums in response, leaning back in her chair. "...Need any help?"
Yaoyorozu laughs, causing Kyouka to cross her arms. "Thanks for the offer but no. You'd only make my workload heavier."
"Your loss." Kyouka shrugs as Yaoyorozu giggles. She takes a look at Kyouka's guitar before turning to leave.
"Play for me sometime?" She asks as she turns back to look at Kyouka before exiting. She had a hopeful look on her face. Kyouka gulps. She didn't have the ability to turn her down, not after making that face.
"Sure, Prez."
The next day, Kyouka goes to school again. She catches Yaoyorozu in the hallway, carrying a stack of notebooks, taller than herself. Before Kyouka can cause any type of trouble for the other girl, she somehow trips and falls. The stack of notebooks come crashing down, some on Yaoyorozu and the rest spread across the floor in front of her. She can hear the other girl sigh, and Kyouka rushes over to help clean up.
"You sure have your work cut out for you." Kyouka squats down, picking up the notebooks quickly.
"You're here again." Yaoyorozu's eyes widen as she watches Kyouka's hands in front of her. It takes a few seconds for Yaoyorozu to start picking the notebooks back up. Kyouka tries to grab more than Yaoyorozu, because she takes more than what she can handle sometimes, like she just witnessed.
"You okay?" Kyouka glances as Yaoyorozu stands up, dusting herself off. She picks up her stack on the floor.
"Yes I am, thank you. Could you give me the rest?" Yaoyorozu replies, looking at the stack that Kyouka was holding.
"Where are you headed? So you don't trip again."
"...Follow me."
Kyouka follows Yaoyorozu quietly to the staff room. Kyouka had only been in there a few times, because Aizawa needed to talk about her grades on several occasions. But today she knew better than to say anything, especially with Yaoyorozu in the room with her. She didn't want to accidentally get the other girl in trouble. Kyouka didn't know how she could, but she knew she'd somehow find a way. "Aizawa-sensei." Yaoyorozu says as they approach the older man. He always looked tired, but he looked exhausted today.
"Thanks, Yaoyorozu." Aizawa glances at Yaoyorozu and looks back down at his stack of paperwork. He catches a glimpse of Kyouka and looks back up, "...and Jirou."
Yaoyorozu leaves without another word, and Kyouka absentmindedly follows behind her. "What a strange interaction. Like...that was it?"
Kyouka could tell in the way Yaoyorozu walked, that she's definitely stressed. She looked tense, and Kyouka wanted to say something. It frustrated her, Kyouka just wanted to know what was up with her. She quickens her pace, trying to make it into the other girl's peripheral vision.
"Thanks for your help. I guess, I owe you one." Yaoyorozu breaks the awkward silence. "I wouldn't want to keep you from your studio time, I know how much you value it."
"Uh right. Don't mention it Prez." Kyouka can feel her earlobes touch together. "See you around I guess."
"This is weird. I wonder what kind of work they got her doing in the student council?"
All throughout practice, Kyouka kept thinking about how stressed Yaoyorozu looked earlier. She sighs to herself just thinking about it. "How pathetic."
Seeing her look so stressed like that made Kyouka feel weird. If she didn't try to help at all, she'd feel like shit. Not doing anything makes Kyouka feel weak and useless. Plus Yaoyorozu went out of her way to help her and her friends study. So as a 'friend' of Yaoyorozu's, Kyouka wanted to attempt to make her feel better. Only because it pissed Kyouka off, looking at how pathetic she looked. She digs through her pocket and beings typing a message to the president.
Jirou: are u busy rn
A few minutes later, is when she gets a reply.
Yaoyorozu: I was about to take a break, why?
Jirou: main building, top of the staircase, 5 min
Yaoyorozu: Huh?
Kyouka smirks to herself. Her plan wasn't going to backfire after all.
Jirou: see u there
As a delinquent, Kyouka knew how to get people to do things for her. All you had to do was be the one to decide things, and everyone follows suit. That is, if they're cooperative. Otherwise, Kyouka would normally use intimidation tactics or even worse, beat the shit out of that person. Hopefully it wouldn't go that far, with Yaoyorozu.
