Jiro x Reader
Reader likes Jiro and always compliments her and just doesn't see why they should lie (basically tells the truth the time, brutally honest, can lie if needed but they often don't see the point) they want to get to know Jiro more and be better friends (platonic).

Enjoy ^-^

Your POV

Pursuing my lips together, I lean against the kitchen counter of the dorm complex and clear my throat as I sip at my coffee. My eyes flitting toward my friend who's currently being flirted with by a rather flirtatious blonde who's possibly been pining for her ever since he laid eyes on her. A small smile on my lips as I watch Kaminari lean against the wall with Kyoka in front of him. The electric blonde babbles toward the shorter girl with a big grin on his lips, the male lighting up the conversation like the sun on a dark day while the girl in front of him sinks against the wall with a small indistinguishable blush on her cheeks.

You could only notice her blush if you looked properly.

Biting back a laugh, I watch as her tsundere side begins to surface. The girl pushes Kaminari away from him making him whine gently before grinning as Kyoka's blush grows in shade. Going from a light red to a proper dark red, her eyes scrunch shut as she storms off with a small mumble. The girl heading my way to try and avoid Kaminari's flirtatious advances, her hands covering her cheeks as she perches herself beside me and buries her head into my arm making me laugh softly.

Knowing that he's failed his umpteenth attempt in trying to coerce Kyoka into dating him and/or going out on a date to then go into dating, Kaminari deflates slightly with pouty lips before shrugging and walking off to hang out with Bakugo and Kirishima.

With Kaminari gone, I look toward my blushing friend who bites her lip and clears her throat. The girl ignoring my pointed look as she grabs a flask from the cupboard and makes her own cup of coffee before looking toward me and sipping at her own coffee. Kyoka finally recovering from her little blushing fiasco. Her soft dark purple eyes shimmering with disbelief as I arch a brow her way.

"What?" She asks, almost snapping toward me making me shake my head and laugh into my coffee as I sip at it. The girl scoffing gently as I refuse to answer her, "Oh shush! We're not going out! I wouldn't ever go out with him! He's so la —"

"Your tsundere is showing," I point out, dodging the flying spoon that she hurls toward me favouring life instead of being pummelled by a small spoon, "Okay! Okay! Pfft... you wanna go to the cafe and go out shopping or are you going to pine for lover boy?"

"(Y/n)!" Kyoka threatens, narrowing her eyes before sighing as I stick my tongue out toward her and saunter toward the front door of the complex, "I'm not pining! I wouldn't pine for him,"

"Okay," I hum with a small laugh, opening up the front door for her to walk out before I follow after her and head across the U.A campus to leave through the front gates, "I'm just saying, you were as red as Kirishima's hair when he was flirting with you, it looks like you like him back,"

"Shhhh!" Kyoka whines, swatting at my arm as we leave the front gates and walk down the sidewalk toward the town centre, "It's not like that! Okay! Drop it, please,"

Backing off on the subject, I smile toward Kyoka as she hums a soft tune to herself as we walk down the street. Kyoka's lips mumbling the words of the song stuck in her head making me sip at my coffee and nod my head to the beat of the song. She is such a good singer.

The pair of us had decided to go out shopping for the weekend. There was a new store in the mall that had recently opened up that had a lot of records and vinyls. It had a really sweet retro look that Kyoka couldn't wait to visit. So, since I wanted to go to the new boba tea place downtown, we agreed to go out together. We would go to the store first, browse around and maybe even go to some clothes stores before heading to the boba tea place to have a quick drink and some cake.

Plus, it would get us to get to know each other a bit more and become better friends.

Kyoka and I had met at the beginning of the year and bonded over our mutual love for music. We would hang out in her dorm or my dorm from time to time and make up little songs and chords with one another. I'd always be there for her to make sure she had someone to vent to whenever someone annoyed her, to be there when she needed someone to spar against, to be there when she needs a shoulder to cry on. I always made sure that she had someone there for her.

However, we haven't spent time with one another in ages. There was always something getting in the way of us having time together. It would be an exam to study for or there would be a villain attack or there would be a festival to get ready for or there would be homework to complete or people to help out with work.

I'm just thankful we had free time today!

As we head into the mall, Kyoka instantly flocks toward the new store, her purple eyes shimmering with excitement as she marvels at the front display. The girl grinning from ear to ear as she skips in with me close behind. Her aux chord earlobes wiggling with happiness as she stares at the products of the store in absolute awe. The girl smiling to herself as she speeds toward the vinyl record section and begins to sieve through them with a bright smile.

"Don't you have a lot of vinyls already?" I ask, arching a brow as I stand with my hands on my hips making her narrow her eyes and look toward me, threatening to jab her earphone jacks into my ears making me squeak and cover my ears, "But... I don't think you have that one!"

"You're right, I don't," Kyoka hums with a giggle, sticking her tongue out toward me as I slowly uncover my ears and nervously laugh toward her as she pulls out the vinyl she doesn't have, "You want anything? That poster would look really nice on your walls,"

"Maybe... but I don't like the outline," I explain pointing toward the outline of the poster before pursing my lips as I stare at the other posters with a small hum, filing through little flick through system they had before pulling out one that I finally like the look of, "Ready to go?"

"Not yet," Kyoka hums, biting back a laugh as I send her a small pout, "Just give me a minute, I'll be so quick,"

"Your version of a minute is like... twenty minutes to an hour," I hum, laughing as Kyoka freezes in her actions and narrowing her eyes toward me. The girl placing her aux chords at attention making me squeak and race to the cash register to get out of the radius of her attack, "Just be quick or I'll tell Kaminari your feelings,"

"(Y/n)!" Kyoka gawks, her mouth going slack as she stares at my grinning face agog. Her eyes widening slightly as I wink toward her before turning back toward the cashier to pay for my poster and placing it into my bag with a small hum, "Meanie,"

After paying for everything, I head out of the store and wait outside, hoping that it'll kickstart Kyoka to hurry up in her search for certain vinyls and pay already. My eyes looking through the front window toward Kyoka to make sure she was hurrying herself up and paying. A smirk playing on my lips as she meets my eyes through the window before laughing as she sticks her tongue out and walks toward the cash register to pay.

I mean, we can always come back another time.

As she walks out, she punches my arm playfully before heading off letting me straggle behind with a laugh. The pair of us smiling between each other as we head down through the mall and toward the boba tea place with our arms linked together.

"So how many vinyls did you end up buying?" I ask slyly, biting back a grin as Kyoka purses her lips to think about the answer, "Is the number between ten and fifteen?"

"Maybe, maybe not," Kyoka hums with a shrug as we walk into the boba tea place and walk toward the front counter with a smile, "You'll never know,"

Rolling my eyes playfully, I look up at the menu and purse my lips with a hum to try and deduce what I fancy. What flavour I would want and the topping I want and what kind of side I would like with it. With a smile, I order my drink and a small slice of cake before paying and heading toward the table where Kyoka is already set up, sipping at her boba with a bright smile. The girl humming in delight at the taste of her drink while digging into a rather tasty looking red velvet cake.

As I sit down opposite her, I can see her eyes flitting from her phone to me. A small smile on her lips whenever she looks toward her phone before she begins tapping away on her phone with a faint giggle. Arching a brow, I nibble at my cake and lick off the icing as I watch her.

"Not that I'm against it or anything, but you seem really happy," I point out, laughing as she throws one of the tapioca balls from her drink toward me in slight protest, "What's going on? Are you hiding something, Kyoka?"

"No!" Kyoka squeaks, whining as I send her a cheeky smile and sip through my straw rather loudly as I look out the window, "What?"

"Nothing, nothing," I hum, waving her off before clearing my throat and taking a deep breath with a small smile, "So... are we going to talk about you and Kaminari or is it just going to be the elephant in the room?"

"I don't know..." she whines, covering her eyes as I send her a knowing look, snorting when her elbow slips off the table and she gets a face full of cupcake and icing smears onto her nose, "He's just —"

"Adorable? Dorky? Golden hearted? Hilarious?" I list, grinning as she whines and goes a bright red in colour, "Kyoka he flirts with you all the time and it's so cute,"

"Yeah... I know," she hums with a small whine, pouting when I stick my tongue out toward her, "It's just... I don't know,"

"He's a flirt? He flirts with anything that has boobs and a skirt?" I ask making her snort into a fit of giggles and sigh gently, "Hey... look... I'm sure if you and him do get together then maybe he will rein it in a bit. Maybe if you talk to him about it too,"

"Maybe," Kyoka hums softly and smiles to herself as she twirls her earlobes around her finger with a smile, "We'll see,"

"I can always talk to him, I'll set him straight,"...

"I think you'll scare the poor thing,"...

"Fear is a powerful thing, Kyoka,"...
