Momo's POV

Y-Yosetsu....h-he...likes...m-me..??

I stood there in the shower as my whole body was soaked but my face was heating up. I heard everything, the conversation he and my brother had...I heard it. I don't think I was supposed to but..I feel...glad that I did.

I felt myself subconsciously smile. Why am I smiling..?? Is it because...I figured out that Yosetsu likes me?? And that...he actually...feels the same way as I do?? 

I placed shampoo in my hair and started to wash it, while doing so, I couldn't help but smile even more. My heart felt so lightened up to hear that, I feel so happy. At first, I didn't understand my feelings whenever I was with Awase. The only thought I had on my mind was him and I just being friends...but I ever knew that the feelings I had were actually way more than I expected.

"Well...I kinda need advice about..love..?" I nervously laughed.

They all gasped.

"Love??? W-Wait..you're in love?!" Mina squealed.

"We should probably find ourselves a table first to talk about it." Tsuyu said and we all nodded.

After we got down to the cafeteria, we soon got our food and sat on a table and ate our lunch. While doing so, that's when our conversation began.

"So, what type of love advice do you need, Yaomomo?" Jiro asked.

"Well..I guess you can say that...there's this certain someone where...my heart starts to feel fuzzy and it starts to beat really fast whenever I'm with him. I don't know why do I feel that though. I just need advice cause I'm just completely confused." I said.

"Hmmm..so you have a crush on someone?? Because you explaining on what you feel when you're around him sounds like you do like him." Hagakure replied.

"Can you explain more?" Tsuyu asked.

"Well...I only started to feel this kind of feeling somewhere few weeks ago. He and I aren't completely close yet but we're somehow getting there. He's just so sweet and kind, I don't why am I feeling this whenever I'm around him." I blushed.

"Ooooohhh okay. I'm gonna give you a quick scenario for you to imagine and I want you to say what you feel, okay?" Jiro asked.

"Okay..??" 

Jiro then spoke, "You're walking in the halls and  you saw him with his friends and he soon noticed you. He gives you this sweetest smile and you smiled back. What do you feel?"

I imagined the scenario happening in my head: I was walking in the halls and I see Yosetsu talking with his friends. Once he and I made eye contact with each other, he smiled at me and I smiled back. Just then, my heart started to speed up it's pace. My face was now flushing pink all of a sudden.

"Yep, you're definitely in love with this guy." Jiro chuckled.

My eyes widened in shock, "I can't believe it...this whole time I thought it was just something else." 

"Nope, you're expression says it all." Mina laughed.

"Who is this guy you're falling for anyway??" Hagakure asked.

"Is it someone from our class??" Tsuyu asked.

I giggled, "Nope, not really."

Mina gasped, "It's definitely that Awase guy right?!"

"W-Wha-- I don't k-know what you guys are talking about." I blushed real hard.

"You're quite a bad liar, ya know that Yaomomo??" Tsuyu chuckled.

"It's just...if I really do like him like that then...how can I know if he likes me back??" I asked.

"There are lots of ways to determine if a guy likes you or not, but there are times when you really just can't overthink that they do like you or not. You still have to be careful on what you think as well." Mina pointed out.

"But don't worry!! We're here for you, Yaomomo!!" Hagakure said.

"Thanks guys, so..what's the first sign?" I asked.

"One of the most common signs you can see if a guy likes you if that if he ever stutters or get nervous when you're around him." Jiro said.

That's when numerous of memories and moments started to pop in my head. Ever since my recovery at the camp, he always got so nervous or even stutters when I'm near him. I always get confused to why that happens but... could it actually be that he already had a crush on me from the start..??

"This sign isn't really much seen or known since most guys do these too but another sign you can tell if a guy likes you is by how many compliments he gives you." Hagakure said.

"Specifically when he just thinks too little of himself and compliments so much about you." Mina added.

Awase has done that quite a lot too. There are times when he would compliment me a lot and think of himself way less than what people see him. 

As much as these signs are quite visible, Mina is right, I can't just assume these things so quickly...even though I've seen these signs quite a lot from him.

"If you do like Awase, maybe you should do something sweet for him too." Tsuyu suggested.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know how to explain it but it's like, letting him know how much you accept or how much you love him, in a way that it ain't too obvious for him to know but can still be able to give him some ideas that you might like him." Jiro expalined.

"I don't get it."

"Basically, you two are trying to reciprocate each other's feelings to the point where you guys aren't too obvious but it still let's them guess or have some theories that maybe you do really like each other." Mina explained.

"Oooohhh I see."

"You said you haven't really quite showed him that much gratitude yet after he risked his life in saving you, right?" Tsuyu asked.

"Yes.."

"Then maybe this could be you chance to do that then. Let him know that you like him even though we're not entirely sure if he does." Tsuyu said.

"But what if I ended up learning that Yosetsu like me the same way I do t him?"

"Then it's your turn to show your love for him." Hagakure smiled.
