"Oh my god. Kyouka! Just ask her!" Denki exclaimed.
"Shut up, she's gonna hear you!" Jirou whisper-shouted in reply. "Plus, there's no way she'll say yes."
"She's totally going to say yes."
"Then why don't you ask Shinsou?" Kyouka teased.
"That's differenttt, Kyou!" A blush started to creep up on Kaminari's cheeks. "If you ask her, I'll ask him. Okay?"
"And if we both get rejected?"
"We'll just dance together."
"She'll say yes! I promise! You two are gonna be so cute!" Uraraka bounced excitedly on the balls of her feet. "Come on. It's prom! What do you have to lose?"
"I'm just not sure..what if Kyouka doesn't like me? What if she likes...I don't know. Kaminari?" Momo sighed. "They seem awfully close."
"They've been friends since preschool, and they most definitely do not like each other. Kaminari likes Shinsou anyways!"
"He told you that?"
"I thought everyone knew. It's pretty obvious."
"I suppose I should at least try to ask her."
"That's the spirit!"
Kyouka was beginning to panic as she frantically searched for Momo. What if Momo was already asked? Then she would've lost her chance to dance with her crush at prom, and-
"Kyouka!" Jirou heard Momo call out, turning around.
"Oh. I was just looking for you."
"As was I-!" Momo said, wondering why Jirou could've possibly been looking for her.
"Well, I was just-"
"I was wondering-"
The two met each other's gaze and laughed nervously at the slipup.
"You go first." Momo smiled.
"No, it's fine, you can-" Jirou sighed. "Uhm. I was just..wondering if you'd want to dance with me?"
Momo's cheeks flushed a pale pink. "I was looking for you for the exact same reason."
Purple eyes met black ones as the beginning notes of a slow song began to play on the speakers.
Wise men say
only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you.
Trying to stay calm, Jirou offered her arm to Momo, who took it as the two started to walk in the direction of the dance floor.
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Seeing Denki dancing with Shinsou, Kyouka flashed a thumbs-up to the electric teen, who returned with a purely radiant smile.
Like a river flows
surely, to the sea
darling, so it goes
some things are meant to be.
Setting her hands delicately on Jirou's waist, Momo smiled again, her hair falling ever-so-slightly in front of her face.
Jirou blushed but returned with a smile, smitten by the beautiful image that might as well be a goddess in front of her.
So take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you.
For the past two years, Jirou had found herself falling in love with Momo time and time again.
Every shared glance.
Every word.
Every breath.
Like a river flows
surely, to the sea
darling, so it goes
some things are meant to be.
For two whole years.
Had it been a missed opportunity?
What if she had asked sooner?
Kyouka knew one thing for sure: she wasn't missing another chance.
So take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you.
"Can I kiss you?" the purple-haired teen whispered.
Momo flushed pink again and nodded, leaning down as Kyouka stood on her tip-toes in an attempt to match the Momo's height, the two meeting in the middle in a cautious but sweet kiss.
For I can't help falling in love with you.
