"...yes? oh! toshi! hi!", denki greets him with a smile.
he looks at his phone before frowning.
"is everything okay? it's still 1 am..."
shinso looks anxious. why is he even doing this? it's pure torture.
"...i'm fine..."
denki nods, though he doesn't look very convinced by the statement.
"...uh. actually, i wanted to invite- uh... shit-"
denki chuckles. "dude no need to be so nervous, it's just me. you wanted to invite me to hang out? is that what you wanted to say?"
shinso sighs and nods shyly. his cheeks are red from embarrassment.
denki grins. "cool! i'd love to toshi! where do you wanna hang out?"
"...my room? if that's okay with you..."
"yeah! it's cool! oh, can we watch movies too?"
shinso smiles and nods. "yeah sure"
"oh! oh! oh!", denki exclaims as he jumps a little bit. "can we get snacks too?"
okay. it's happening again.
something must be wrong with todoroki.
isn't todoroki's room upstairs?
why is it hot again?
also is he about to have a heart attack?
"...sure"
they walk towards the kitchen, denki talks the whole way about the movie he watched with the bakusquad last friday.
they watched endgame.
"you spoiled the whole movie denks", shinso fakes a sad tone.
denki's eyes widen and he gasps softly. "i'm so sorry toshi! i didn't know-"
shinso laughs. "i'm kidding, i watched it the day it came out-"
"dude! you scared me there for a second!"
they both laugh.
shinso likes this. maybe too much.
"do you like horror?", he asks as he opens the fridge.
denki pipes from behind him to look inside the fridge too. "nah dude, bakubro made us watch 'the nun' and i couldn't sleep for a whole week", he shivers at the thought.
shinso shakes his head. his heart is very aware of the presence behind him.
"i bet you like romance then", he comments as he takes out two strawberry flavored yogurts.
denki chuckles. "not really toshi, i think i would rather watch comedy or action... maybe a musical or some shit"
shinso hums in acknowledgment.
he can actually picture denki as a famous theater actor. or what ever it's called.
"i bet you like horror and sci-fi type of movies"
shinso smiles before nodding. "i like the ones with drama and jump scares the most"
denki makes a questioning sound.
"so i can feel something other than numbness", he chuckles.
denki raises his eyebrows. "woah toshi, that's dark", he adds.
shinso shrugs.
he's used to it.
they both walk out of the kitchen with two yogurts and a bag full of marshmallows that denki picked. also, they couldn't forget the cup of black coffee.
"huh... toshi, can i ask you something?"
shinso turns to look at denki before nodding.
"...are you gay?"
if shinso was drinking his coffee he would've spit it out.
"...where did that come from?"
denki shrugs. "i've heard rumors but i wanted to see if it was true... if it is, i don't care! i won't judge you or anything! i'm cool with that shit-"
"relax denks. and yes, i am gay. thanks for not making a big deal out of it", he smiles.
denki's cheeks are a light pink now.
"i-it's totally cool dude! i'm bi actually so yeah it wouldn't be cool for me to judge you or anything heh"
shinso looks at him with wide eyes before he relaxes his face in a small smile. "...cool"
denki grins and looks down with a smile.
they walk to shinso's room in a comfortable silence. both content with whatever's on their mind.
shinso will never admit his crush on denki
and
denki will never admit his crush on shinso.
...at least, not out loud...
