Chapter Text
Momo knocked several times on Kirishima's door and waited for it to be opened. Since Bakugou and Kirishima got together a month ago, that was the safest protocol.
It only took thirty seconds for Bakugou to open the door, t-shirt wrinkled and obvious hickey on his neck.
'What the fuck do you want, Ponytail? We're fucking busy.'
'I can see that but I need Kirishima, it's imperative I talk with him.'
Bakugou looked at her up and down, trying to asses how truly important her issue might be. She must have passed his test as he opened the door wider, revealing a shirt-less blushing mess of a redhead.
'Knock yourself out, Ponytail. You have ten fucking minutes until I come back.'
'Thanks, Bakugou.' Momo smiled at him as she entered the room and sat on Kirishima's chair.
'So, what's up, Momo?' asked Kirishima as he put on a hoodie Momo was positive was Bakugou's.
'Sorry for interrupting your make out session, I will give you some of the sweets you like for that, but this is important.'
'It's okay, dude, not that big of a deal.' The blush on his cheeks disagreeded with that. 'Now, what's up?'
'Remember how the day Bakugou taugh me to do braids, Bakugou and Kyouka ended up confessing and we all started dating?'
'Yeah, difficult to forget, yeah, anything wrong with that?'
'I think I misinterpreted it and Kyouka didn't really confess to me.' Momo was the one furiously blushing now.
'Wait, wait, wait, wait!' Kirishima put his hands up.
'I'm waiting.'
'No, I didn't mean...' Kirishima chuckled. 'I mean, like, you told me what she said! How was that not a confession?!'
'I don't know! I thought it was!' Momo groaned, feeling totally clueless. 'And we've been holding hands and cuddling and and going on dates for a month! But today, I kissed her for the first time and she freaked out!'
'Oh my god.' Kirishima snorted.
'Yes, it was really embarrassing. I thought we were on the same page but, turns out, I misinterpreted everything, again.' Momo sulked.
'Nah, this one is on her not on you, dude.' Kirishima still looked a bit too amused but he was trying to be helpful. 'Like, for you, you've been super obvious! I didn't even think you'd like cuddling or kissing, to be honest.'
'Me neither.' Momo felt giddy just remembering it. 'But, sometimes, if it's with her, I like it. I like it a lot.'
'Good for you, dude. ' Kirishima smiled proudly at her. 'And she's been going along with all of it too, right?'
'Yes, it was just the kiss that startled her.'
'Then, I say you reconfess to her so she actually knows you're dating this time around. There's no way she's gonna say no to you after all that.'
'Yeah, I can do that.' Momo stood up from the chair, hand instinctively wanting to reach up to her hair but she managed to stop herself, twisting her fingers instead.
'Hey, use this better.' Kirishima threw her one crimson riot themed stress ball that she caught with ease.
Momo looked at it intensely and squeezed it. 'Thanks.'
'No worries, now I always got one of those lying around for emergencies.'
Momo's heart melted a bit.
'Just try and be chill, dude, you have nothing to lose here.'
That made Momo laugh. 'Me? Chill?'
Kirishima laughed too. 'You're plenty chill, Momo, just think of the the tea-making process. That always calms you.'
Momo huffed a laughed as she squeezed the stress ball again. 'Thanks for the advice, Eijirou. You're a really good friend.'
'You're a really good friend too, Momo!'
'It's gonna be nice having the same anniversary again.' Momo smiled at him as she walked back to the door of the room.
'That's the spirit!' Kirishima knocked his fists. 'And Kats gonna be so happy to know he won at confessing! It bothered him that you did it an hour before us.'
Momo laughed as she exited Kirishima's room.
Momo would forever be grateful to know and be friends with Kirishima Eijirou.
