"Come on, stay still!"

You couldn't help but laugh at Denki's cute little focused face, peering past your shoulder at the TV screen. He scrunched his eyebrows together and his head cocked sideways. "I'm trying to do your eyeliner, you dork."

"Look at them, though!" he said in awe.

Craning your head, you turned around to see a couple slow dancing on the screen. They seemed to be dancing to a slow waltz song, the actor's arm wrapped around the actress' waist and her hand gently placed on his shoulder. Their other hands were clasped together but what got your attention was the look they shared, the way they gazed into each other's eyes as they moved to the music.

"Told you. It's cool, isn't it?" Denki leaned forward and rested his chin on your shoulder. His words faded away as you continued to watch the couple dance on the screen. Although it was a movie, the two seemed to have chemistry and something real between them. Yeah, there's no way they're just acting. Thoughts of romance poured into your head, as if the romance manga you read daily weren't enough.

"Yeah, it's something," you sighed.

In the corner of your eye, you could see Denki smile to himself as he saw the look on your face—your mouth slightly open and eyes sparkling. He sat back against the couch again. "You wish that was you, huh?"

You snapped out of your daze and face him again. "What? Nah, of course not."

"I can do that, you know."

Denki saw the confused look on your face and was about to gesture at the screen but stopped himself and got up instead. He stood between you and the TV and peeked back at it, mimicking the boy's position. Grinning, he began to sway back and forth to the music while trying to copy the actor as best as he could. The wide smile on your face encouraged him and he began to step back and forth. He was a little clumsy and out of sync but that just made it better.

He got on one knee, offered an hand and look up at you. "Can I have this dance, milady?" You chewed on your lip as you both tried not to laugh and put your hand in his.

Denki hoisted you up and spun you, catching you in his arms. You were taken aback out of surprise, then laughed. "Smooth moves, Kaminari."

Your words put a big smile on his face and you could tell he was clearly proud of himself. His eyes glistened for a second—maybe it was the reflection from the TV, or maybe it was his electricity running through his body.

"Yeah? Watch this," he let go of you and took a couple of steps back. All of a sudden, he jumped into a routine (a messy one but still a routine). His random moves clashed against the slow waltz music as he attempted to moonwalk, trying not to laugh at himself.

Denki ended the dance shimmying his shoulders back and forth which made you burst out laughing as he tried to keep it together himself. He hit a strong pose to finish, his left arm pointing at the screen and a bolt of electricity shot out of his finger, zapping the TV.

As he stood there in shock, staring at the fried TV, your hand flew to your face. You knew you probably shouldn't have been laughing but the way he was standing in front of the TV, which was now smoking, with his jaw hanging open was too much for you.

"Oops."
