"𝙔𝙊! 𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙆𝙄, 𝙒𝘼𝙉𝙉𝘼 have a go at sparring?" kirishima asked, smashing his hardened fists together. "bakubro doesn't want to today!"
"oh, uh..." a drop of sweat trickled down kaminari's forehead, lingering at his chin before falling to the floor. placing a hand on the back of his neck awkwardly, he said,"i can't. i have homework i forgot to do. sorry bro!" he smiled apologetically.
"nah, it's completely fine!" kirishima assured kaminari before running off somewhere. from experience, probably to bother bakugou or something along the lines of that.
y/n stood at the sides with mina, pretending to engage in a conversation with her while actually listening in to what kaminari was saying. she didn't fail to notice the flash of a 'you know i'm not good at that...' look on his face before he refused. even better, she just saw momo help him with finishing all his homework during free period.
she sighed, scratching her head. "listen, ashido," she placed a hand on a surprised mina's shoulder, "i really have to run now. i'm sorry for not really listening to what you said, queen. i just have some stuff i wanna do. i'm really sorry!" y/n apologised profusely before running after kaminari.
mina's eyes followed y/n as she saw the girl make her way over to kaminari. a smile worked its way onto her face as she grinned mischievously.
—
"kaminari!" y/n called, rushing out of the school gates. he didn't seem to hear her— y/n realised he had airpods in each ear, and he didn't stop walking. rolling her eyes, she quickened her pace to catch up with him.
why the hell is he walking so fast? she thought to herself. a conflicted feeling welled up inside her. why was she so determined to talk to him? bring back the smile on his face?
it was because he opened up to her— he allowed himself to become vulnerable in her presence— but she hadn't been empathetic enough. she hadn't managed to let him think that he was worth everything and people didn't just like him because of him being funny in ways he didn't even enjoy.
the guilty feeling, probably mixed with other emotions, kindled a fire within her, forcing herself to run faster until she finally got in front of him.
placing her hands on her knees, she caught her breath. "hi," she smiled.
kaminari removed his airpods. "hi," he greeted back. "what's up?"
"i love you," she said, ignoring the widening of his eyes and pulling him into a hug. "and you have lots of good qualities. i love you and we all love you. you need to realise that."
she could feel the part of her shirt, where his head was, dampening. he sighed. "i—"
"i have a 6 page essay written on it," y/n pulled away, slamming the papers on his chest. "because you're dumb and you have such low self esteem."
she could see tears welling up in his eyes. "i didn't expect you to— you didn't have to do this," he smiled sadly, tilting his head to the side as he plucked at the corners of the papers.
"if you ever feel sad," y/n said, "you can read this! i hope it makes you feel better about yourself."
"thank you..."
"oh! and, do you want me to help you train your quirk? and physical combat too. i won't get hurt cause of my shield." y/n offered.
slowly, he nodded.
"see? you never have to hide anything from me. i'll just seek it out. then help you, of course. like our little games of hide and—"
she was cut off when he lifted her chin with his index finger and placed a soft kiss on her lips. her eyes widened, mouth parting slightly before she pulled him closer and kissed back.
gold light bled over the floors, making the two of them almost seem gilded— y/n almost thought she was dreaming.
when she pulled away, y/n's face the deepest shade of red possible— she looked absolutely smitten, kaminari smiled at her. "this is the kind of 'love' you meant right?"
"...right." she pursed her lips together, avoiding his gaze.
"so i can call you my girlfriend now?" he exclaimed, eyes twinkling. his grin could basically rival the sun already.
"you're gonna put the sun out of job," y/n laughed in amusement. "and yes. you can call me your girlfriend now."
"okay, see you tomorrow then, love!" he said a little too excitedly. "and you're right— it's just like our little games of hide and seek!"
