Knock him dead, Denki! Mina waved off his ramblings of gratitude as she hurried out of the truck, throwing a cheeky wink at Kaminari before slamming the back door behind herself. Sero Hanta [9:13am]: nah a day off is a day off im not complainingSero Hanta [9:13am]: mina and denki, yall wanna hang later? As each person spoke up, Shinsou felt his heart swell with gratitude and hope. Maybe birthdays werent the worst after all. He dug his hand into his back pocket and pulled out a single napkin, the only one left. Mina [10:05pm]: care to make things a lil more interesting? Kaminari and Mina didnt hesitate to rip open the bag, pulling out two matching sets of silk pajamas. He grinned at the memory of his friends playing with the adorable kittens and the sheer happiness he had felt in that moment. After the customer stepped aside, Shinsou let his gaze slip surreptitiously across the street, stealing a quick glance at Kaminari. Kaminari smiled sympathetically but quickly grabbed the empty air above his head and made a motion like tossing an invisible frisbee towards Shinsous head. Oh, God, I barely started reading fics in AO3 so I don't know how this works And I NEED to know when next chapter drops! He gasped a second time as Shinsou swiftly pulled the hair tie from Kaminaris hair, letting the ponytail fall free so he could thread his fingers through golden locks. Kirishima turned back to face him, a questioning smile painting his features. Answer your father, he said sternly, leaving no room for argument. God, he really hoped Iida and Uraraka didnt catch him being a total creep just then. Seros eyes widened as he slowly dropped down to join the two sitting on the floor of the truck. Stop being stubborn!. Kaminari flushed under his intent gaze but didnt break eye-contact. He felt hands gently pull the plate out of his grasp and immediately let go, hands stilling midair in surprise. Kaminari stared at the screen, watching his avatar bobbing up and down in the boat on the pixelated water. Aizawa turned a piercing stare on Shinsou and gestured to the rest of the group. Well not exactly the same, that would be weird. np!! Yeah but how come Im Juliet? Of course, sir!. He loves me. He just couldnt listen, could he? I promised to fluster you with my undeniable charm on a daily basis and I am nothing if not a man of my word!. Shinsou Hitoshi [10:23pm]: Heywas wondering if you wanted to FaceTime? Im so sorry! Kaminari Denki [6:09pm]: so what do u think we should do then?? Kaminari Denki [12:49am]: but either way, its a (second) date :)). Silence settled between the three of them, only interrupted by Kaminaris occasional sniffles. Kaminaris head was darting around every which way, trying to keep track of the conversation. Oh my god, this is so disgusting!, Mina grinned down at her mercilessly, eyes dancing with mischief. I dont know what that means! Urarakas rosy cheeks seemed to get even pinker than they already were as she shot Jirou a pointed look. From a kitchen fire?. But all of that faded into background noise as Bakugou rounded on Deku. I just am always thinking about the next time I can text him and hoping I can see him, like all the damn time. Shinsou decided to file that information for later and made his way back over to Soba For All. Im actually really impressed, Denki! More for me then, drooly.. Deku yelped and continued muttering apologies as he backed away, joining the rest of Soba For All gathered nearby, looking on anxiously. Okay, okay. His head was peering through the branches, wild purple locks caught up in the leafy branches, making his hair almost look like a bundle of lavender. Asui Tsuyu [8:41pm]: and call me tsu. Kaminari rolled his eyes as he layed back down on his bed, still smiling softly. Im a murderer! How much did he drink?, Uraraka snorted, shaking her head in amusement. You make me sound so bad! How calm and collected he stayed at the karaoke bar when they were almost discovered meanwhile Kaminari was on the edge of spiraling. THE SCHOLARSHIP, THE FIRE, ALL OF IT. Yeah, he was still wearing his heelys in 2021, it was a fashion statement! I guess you must really really like this person if youre stressing this much, bro!. Kaminari made himself brighten up, grinning at Kirishima as wide as he could manage. Ive kindavisited here a lot over the years., Shinsou chuckled softly. His name is Kota! he supplied happily. I think thats a really admirable goal to have. Soba For All was nowhere to be seen, which was good he supposed, but neither was Shinsou. He seemed to relax slightly into Kirishimas massage, which Kaminari observed in amazement. What? It turned out they made a good team, completing all of Urarakas catering orders in record time while also fulfilling customer demands. She wants to put m- our ramen burgers in all her restaurants., Kaminaris hands dropped to his sides in shock. Kaminari Denki [5:21pm]: welp Kaminari Denki [7:33pm]: but yes i have a point!Kaminari Denki [7:33pm]: i have a favor to askKaminari Denki [7:33pm]: and a proposition to make. Sorry this chapter is a bit shorter! Sorry Shinsou, its complicated. Deku appeared to be in a similar state of distress, jaw comically dropped wide open. Shinsou paused his methodical scooping to notice that yes, he was in fact smiling. Kaminari fought to keep his smile in place as Kirishima looked down at him with concern. Sero Hanta [9:22am]: yeah prob, well alright text u l8r then, Ashido Mina [2:24pm]: DENKI R U AWAKE? Shinsou Hitoshi [5:32pm]: I dont like to waste resources. Run, baby, runDon't ever look backThey'll tear us apartIf you give them the chance. Minas eyes softened with a sad look. SO ITS OUR FUCKING FAULT THEN? Your foot got run over by a truck and youre sitting in a hospital room while your boyfriends family judges you, how are you so positive right now? Shinsou replied incredulously. He gave a little nod to Todoroki as he walked past, as hes done a few times before, and Todoroki returned it with a small knowing smile of his own. Shinsou once again took in the sight of the beautiful lights, now more like pinpricks in the distance, but still glowing strongly in the background. Ecstatic to meet you, Kaminari!, Kaminari tilted his head for a moment before his eyes lit up in recognition. The surprise at seeing Shinsous smirk. Huh, weird. Not exactly what you ordered, huh?. Shinsou steeled himself for the confrontation, casually turning his head to give Todoroki a dry look. !Midoriya Izuku [9:31am]: its okay if you cant make it just let us know! He couldnt help but glance over his shoulder at Kaminari, finding him in a similar state as he looked back at Shinsou with a sad, empty gaze while Mina held an ice pack to his hand. Kaminari Denki [6:14pm]: ya!! I mean, like, obviously we should get to know each other first but also Im not, like, disgusted by the idea, the complete opposite really. To be fair, Kaminari probably had similar feelings about him. What about the time you puked on a rollercoaster and then it flew back into your own face? Didnt I already tell you?, Shinsou looked away self-consciously. This was really thoughtful of you, actually, so thank you.. He was surprised to find the blonde nodding along like majoring in psychology was the most interesting thing on the planet. He totally misread this whole situation. Hitoshi no! I dont care. We are almost to the destination.. Bakugou met his gaze sharply, something like guarded interest swirling in his eyes. Kaminari swallowed, his throat feeling bone dry. Thank you for welcoming me into your magical castle, Your Highness. So, it was a little confusing back there but is Shinsou actually Grindr guy or is there even a Grindr guy at all?. Kaminari crouched down and pushed the leaves aside to reach inside his yellow backpack. The tension stretched between them, feeling so thick Shinsou was sure he could take one of the kitchen knives to it. Shinsou started at that. Yeahhh, he said dreamily. Yeah its pretty cool, right? Todoroki shrugged. You were amazing bro! Kissing Kaminari was pretty up there too. Besides, Urarakas mochi is so worth it. And how do you suggest we accomplish that in our current conditions?. Todoroki pursed his lips, face scrunching up in annoyance and confusion. But you two fucking did? Shinsou stiffened, eyes sliding to the left towards the chilling presence. Just take the kids damn statements so we can leave!. The trio filed into the building elevator and made their descent to the ground floor. I think were taking a bit of a pause from seeing each other. He kept trying to sneakily glance over his shoulder to look at Shinsou, but each time he chickened out. Yet, he decided to stick around. Still Deku frowned, looking a bit like a kicked puppy as he stepped away from the celebration. sorry this is so late, i recently moved to italy for my study abroad semester so it's been super busy. Yes, really. Ever.. Im not doing that with an audience! Why so cranky? You should ask Deku about it after your shift, she said with a pointed look. How long have you been standing in the doorway?!. Suddenly another person joined Minas side, a tall guy with broad shoulders and spiked red hair. Check yes, JulietI'll be waitingWishing, wantingYours for the takingJust sneak outAnd don't tell a soul goodbye.. Hello, so always used tiktok without account but now when I try use the app without an account. Red eyes, burning like molten lava, suddenly cooled and hardened into stone. Care to share?, Kaminari looked up when he realized the man was addressing him. sorry for leaving yall with that slight cliffhanger but had to get through finals and move back to america so its been busy lmao, but the fic is done! Kaminari lifted his tear-stained face from where it had been snuggled safely into Minas shoulder to see Sero eyeing him with a look that was equal parts confused and concerned. Shinsou Hitoshi [12:47am]: What do you suggest? Im just as much at fault as him, so please just hear us out. Shinsou stepped back to the truck window, leaning over the counter and propping his chin on his fist as he looked out across the street. AND YOU BROUGHT FRIENDS! Kirishima stepped forward and went to place a hand on his shoulder but Bakugou shrugged it off aggressively. He didnt know how to say all that, and wasnt sure if he could right now without getting embarrassingly sappy, more so than he already did today. Izuku asked you all to refocus.. Shinsous eyes widened at her comment. Kaminari clumsily got to his feet, taking care to gently push Seros long legs off his lap before doing so. Sometimes simplicity is best. It worked out in the end then, huh? she replied suggestively. Midoriya Izuku [8:36pm]: uraraka why r you yelling at shinsou in the gc? He turned on Kaminari, absolutely seething with rage. Have you seen yourself? he asked cheekily. obviously took a lot of creative liberties namely in the rivalry being more between bakugou/deku, adding the romeo+juliet element, and that denki will NOT be knocking up shinsou (not that kind of fic, my apologies) BUT i referenced the movie quite a bit at the end of this chapter and a bit in the next one so feel free to watch the movie if you wanna see the source material. Kaminari felt nauseous at the sight. WELL WE HAVE TWO HOURS BEFORE SHOWTIME SO LETS GET STARTED!. And heres another napkin, just in case!. Uraraka and Tsu were squished together on a third chair, looking unbothered by the lack of space as Uraraka took the opportunity to start braiding Tsus long dark green hair. Deku shot him another small smile and turned back to his work on the noodles. I just..I still feel horrible for lying, you know? You call that spitting in someones ear? Bakugou turned a challenging sneer on Shinsou. But before he even could, Bakugou smacked it out of the way. Thats wonderfully dramatic so were rather curious, sweetie, Yamada said carefully. Shinsou belatedly noticed the plastic bucket she was holding in her hands as she did so. Why dont we pet some cats first, okay?. Who did you want to talk to? It doesnt matter. I accepted it for them., Kaminari gasped. Kacchan and I do know that just an apology isnt enough. Thank you, but I dont think my girlfriend will have much need for that.. Ohh, I wont let you go. Katsuki! What the fuck was that?! 3.5K Likes, 305 Comments. Shinsou looked at her in shock, mind scrambling to process all the jumbled information that was thrown at him. So, I never got to ask how that walk went, she asked softly, so only Shinsou could hear. Kaminari shook his head slightly and then smiled widely, gesturing to the songbook. She grinned and rolled her eyes fondly. Iida propped his head up with his fist and smiled goofily, body sagging against the bar a bit. Todoroki Shoto [8:43pm]: I can get a cannon by friday. Kaminari even recognized some familiar faces amongst them. Sure, but I do want to say something first.. And I think its stupid, just like this ridiculous getup you got on, Shinsou said with a smirk, tapping the brim of Kaminaris baseball cap. Kaminari fidgeted in his seat, tugging at the threads of the hospital sheets, realizing that this was a conversation where his enthusiastic input might not be needed. Me [5:48pm]: fraternizing with the enemy or whateva :P, Me [5:50pm]: okay yea cool cool cool, coolio yup, that works for me He could do this, he could say what he needed to say, and hopefully, I missed you too, like a crazy amount, dude! What the hell, Blondie? Kaminari? Youre done. Irrelevant. Kind of strange but Shinsou could respect the minimalist vibe. Uraraka huffed but smiled. Todoroki Shoto [9:42am]: Do we think Shinsou is dead? I was doing media and communication. Todoroki Shoto [8:40pm]: Momo lets me have cannons. You're illiterate now, too? he grunted out and then collapsed back onto Kirishima. But its so close by. Ah I cant take credit for this, Hitoshi, your friends called in the order ahead of time.. But if I wasId consider taking a stroll through the park since Deku just told me were leaving in the next five minutes, and Id have a super amazing friend to cover for me.. With a handsome face like his, he really didnt have to try to attract customers, they just came over to him. Shinsou let out a tiny breathy chuckle and Kaminaris heart stopped. Right, sorry, Shinsou said curtly as he grabbed another dirty plate from the pile. Kaminari could only stare back in shock at the apology. Kaminari sat up slowly, blinking as his tears began to dry. A man with spiky bleach blonde hair had come up behind Kaminari and was glaring at Shinsou with what he could only describe as hellfire in his eyes. I can be an idiot sometimes and I really didnt mean toyea you get it okay um Im gonna go.. Actually, Ill be the judge of that! she said triumphantly as she raised a finger into the air like she was about to conduct a highly important experiment. I beg your pardon, good sir! he said somewhat dramatically, laying a hand over his chest. The peace only lasted a moment before an overly polite Yaoyorozu and a disgruntled Jirou arrived at the scene hand-in-hand wearing rain ponchos, with Yaoyorozu apologetically weaving through the crowd with her girlfriend in tow behind her. He tried to look away but it was like golden eyes had him hypnotized. Its all my fault, guys, this whole mess. Not a time to be joking.. Ha! I also just wish he didnt hate me so much. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, which both felt like an eternity and no time at all to Shinsous muddled brain. Shinsou breathed out a silent laugh and let his head fall on top of the messy blonde hair beside him, even though it was sticking up in odd ways from the static of the hospital bed pillow and tickling his nose. Hellooo? Kaminari let out a watery laugh before giving Sero two wobbly thumbs up. Of course its fucking true because Im not a goddamn LIAR. Kaminari played with the cuffs of his pikachu hoodie, hiccuping softly from the crying, but nodded his agreement. Calm down shitty nerd, hes just messing with you. He smiled at the memory of Shinsou uselessly attempting to consume the giant patty without making a mess and how Kaminari had teased him for it. Although, truthfully Shinsous brain may have been on some romance-induced high and enhancing the visual experience. YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON. I did my best, okay?. Just trying to lighten the mood., Shinsou shook his head but was too tired to fight the smile. also "bookmark" may work?and omg that's a cute hc i approve, i love all of the characters dynamics with each other!!! Yeah me too! Shinsou leaned back, letting his head fall against the headrest as a shaky hand reached across to grab Kaminaris shoulder. I promise you, Kaminari is not blackmailing me. They stood on a wooden boardwalk, with strings of golden lights winding along the wooden posts that separated the walkway from the water below, which also sparkled under the glow from above. Kaminari draped the towel around his neck and the pair began walking down the pier with their food. Then you better extend the same courtesy! Iida respectfully averted his eyes from the PDA happening right next to him. Kaminari had never seen hair like that before, and why was it sticking out over the bottom edge of the window like that? Do not speak to Izuku that way, Bakugou.. No worries, t-take your timeand Im excited t-to try itsounds r-really d-delicious, Tamaki mumbled quietly. Don't sell your heartDon't say we're not meant to beRun, baby, runForever we'll beYou and me.. Shinsou didnt know why, he really couldnt explain it, but something about the sheer unadulterated ridiculousness of that objectively awful confession was what broke him. And Deku, please call his parents and let them know, thanks!. Okay its on, Kacchan!, Bakugou sneered at him. What do you say?, Shinsou rolled his eyes but failed to hide his smile. Thank you both for saying that, Shinsou replied, sounding a little awed. What does that even mean. I like a lot of things about Hitoshi, its hard to choose just one. It wouldnt do any good to freak out, he tried to rationalize it to himself even as his heartbeat quickened. And you didnt even break any ribs, theyre just bruised. On the opposite wall hung a large screen with a small tablet next to it to control the music. Hes harder to read but I know a pining mess when I see it!. YOU ARE DISTURBING THE PEACE AND OUR CUSTOMERS. I said, its getting kind of late, should we head back? Shinsou repeated, voice low with a teasing tone. Kaminari was no longer worried about annoying him, the persistent smile that Shinsou couldnt seem to shake gave him away and Kaminari reveled in its warmth. Kaminari Denki [5:04pm]: heyoo sorry raincheck homies not feeling it today, Mina Ashido [5:05pm]: wut.
