Summer Break - Kamishin\Shinkami

15. Sorry

Shinso had locked himself in his dark room, and he had his pillow over his face to block out the sounds of Denki, who had returned to knocking on his door.

"Hitoshi, please let me talk to you. Please. Please." Denki repeated.

Finally Shinso lost his patience. "Fuck off! If they're after me then I'm not someone you should be around! Just go home! Go away.." Shinso yelled through the door.

Denki went downstairs and saw Aizawa, Yamada, and Eri standing at the foot of the stairs.

Aizawa had his arms crossed, and as soon as Denki came down, he uncrossed his arms marched upstairs. He fiddled with the lock, and threw the door open.

"Hitoshi, get down here. Your boyfriend is a fucking mess right now, and he needs you!" Aizawa said sternly. He marched up to him and pulled him up by his ear.

"Stop!!" Shinso yelled, trying to swat him away. Aizawa didn't let go, and he pulled him downstairs.

"Let me go.. I can't ta-" Shinso was cut off.

"Yes you can. This boy needs you." Aizawa said sternly and pointed at Denki. "Don't be a coward. You know you love him."

Denki teared up. "Hitoshi, please can we just talk.. I didn't mean to get mad earlier," He stepped forward and reached for his hand.

Shinso yanked his hand away, though he didn't want to. "Stop. Just get out of here, and go home. You aren't safe."

"But I want to s-"

"I said stop!!" Shinso yelled. "Just stop. Go back to UA. Go stay with your friends who can actually protect you!" Shinso said, his voice was shaky.

Aizawa let go of Shinso, and walked over to Denki. He stood by him.

"Stop being so childish, and stop lying to yourself, you wanna stay with him." Aizawa said.

"You wouldn't get it. You don't und- ouch!!" Shinso felt a hard pinch on his leg.

Eri pinched him, and looked at him dead in the eyes. "Do you love him?"

"I- yeah.." Shinso whispered.

"Do you want to protect him?" Eri asked.

"Of course." Shinso said.

"Then don't be a dumbass and stay with him!" Eri said, then immediately covered her mouth.

"New rule, Bakugo isn't allowed to babysit you anymore-" Yamada said.

Shinso scoffed, and stormed back upstairs. He grabbed his phone and his earbuds, and climbed out his window. He sat on the roof, and shuffled his playlist. Submarine Street was the first song to play.

He laid down and stared up at the evening sky. He felt the soft breeze run across him and into his matted indigo hair. He closed his violet eyes and took a deep breath, and then he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was startled to see his cold boyfriend asleep next to him, huddling up against him. It was now dark out.

He looked at him, and let a small smile creep onto his lips. He wrapped his arms around his waist and laid down so he was facing him. He brought his face towards his, and tilted it in so they were touching noses, and foreheads.

Shinso smiled and admired the way he slept so peacefully; his soft expression, the way his chest rose and fell with his soft breathing; looking at him made him realize that he couldn't bare to shut him out.

"Hey, I'm really sorry for today. I was being an asshole, I don't wanna see you cry anymore. I love you more than I love myself, and I wanna make you smile, and be a hero you can count on. I'll protect you, but I'll be by your side in doing so. I love you, lightning dolt." Shinso whispered, his breath softly hitting Denki's face as he spoke.

He closed his eyes once again, and the two remained asleep under the starlit sky, the city lights around them reflecting onto them, giving off pink, green, and yellow hues. The sounds of cars driving by was like white noise that helped them stay asleep.
