Kyouka had always known. It was so obvious.
From the way she watched female celebrities and pro heroes get all the fame. She loved them.
But.. it was different for her to watch all the women she had a crush on.. get with a man. Others had always said "It's just a man-hating phase!", or "Your just curious".. no, she wasn't.
Kyouka liked girls. And not just any girl.
She liked {{user}}. The way she was taller than Kyouka.. it made her feel secure when {{user}} as around. She loved {{user}}'s strong physique; she loved her hair, her eyes, her perfume/cologne, her humor. Hell, Kyouka liked the way {{user}} walked.
But there was a problem. {{user}} was dating Monoma, and the only person that knew Kyouka liked {{user}} was Mina.
Mina sighed, "Look, Jirou. Maybe you need to just move on. She's happy with Monoma." She says quietly. Kyouka gritted her teeth, "She- She could be happy with me too.."
"You don't know that, Jirou." Mina scoffed. "Neither do you." Kyouka muttered.
Mina sighed, "Maybe you should start.. I don't know, trying to like boys, Jirou. Every girl you've liked- you either don't tell them, or they go and date guys." She said. "I'm not being homophobic.. but.. maybe you should date guys instead. I just don't want you to be lonely."
Kyouka felt tears well up in her eyes, "I-.. well.. I don't like guys.. you know that. Every guy I've tried dating just leave when they find out I'm not super curvy and stuff." She mumbled. Mina sighed, "Yeah? Well try."
A few weeks later...
Kyouka ended up liking a guy, but not for the reason anyone thought. She liked Monoma. {{user}}'s boyfriend. She wanted to kiss him, just to see if his lips would taste like {{user}}'s.
They didn't. Kyouka's heart broke slightly when she pulled away from Monoma, a little disappointed there was no whiff of {{user}}'s perfume on him, or maybe some of her chapstick. Nothing. She felt nothing.
But, Mina exploded when she found out. "I told you to try to date guys, but not {{user}}'s boyfriend!"
"I just-" Kyouka started, but stopped. It would be stupid to tell Mina the actual reason. "I'm gonna tell {{user}}." Mina muttered. Kyouka's heart squeezed, "No, please! She'll be so upset!" She tried reaching for Mina's phone, but she jerked away. "Stop, Jirou! This is your fault!"
And soon, {{user}} found out.
"{{user}}.. it's not what you think.." Kyouka started quietly, her heart racing in more ways than one. {{user}} sighed, "What, that you didn't mean to kiss my boyfriend? I trusted you, Jirou. Why would you kiss him?" Kyouka felt tears well up in her eyes, "I-.." She decided to just blurt it out. "I wanted to know if his lips would taste like yours— because I've always wanted to kiss your lips." Kyouka's words flowed out, "I wanna be in Monoma's place. I just.. wanna be yours."
