ice cream

Y/N OPENED HER BEDROOM DOOR later that night, Kaminari holding up a carton of chocolate ice cream and two metal spoons. "Surprise!" He exaggerated, flashing a big smile and holding up the cold treat. "Let's eat!"

"Uh...huh?"

"When you break up with someone, you usually eat ice cream and cry, right? Let's do that!" Kaminari insisted, brushing past her and letting himself inside.

"It's...11 at night?" Y/n's forehead creased suspiciously, pressing her lips together to keep her from smiling.

"It's never to late to eat ice cream!" He craved excitedly, jumping onto her bed and preparing to dig in.

Kaminari and y/n have always been friends. Since the very beginning. Barging into her room wasn't a weird scene, as he used to do it all the time before she started dating Shinso.

They were close friends...well...he thought they were pretty close until he read her diary, unveiling all of her inner secrets that he had no idea about.

But with her break up with Shinso, he could use the trust and friendship he's built between the two of them, as a key to helping her with her problems.

"We haven't hung out like this in forever." Kaminari muttered as he stuck his spoon into the tub of ice cream.

Y/n got onto her bed with her knees, taking a seat in front of the ecstatic boy. "Ha, that's true. It has been a while, huh?"

"Oh, we're you going to go to sleep?" Kaminari glanced up, licking the ice cream from his spoon. If he tried hard enough, he could posisbly get y/n to open up. To talk. Now that Shinso wasn't giving her attention, he could.

"Oh no, you're good. I don't mind you bulldozing your way into my room—Yknow, if this is some excuse to make a move on me-"

"Huh!?" Kaminari's eyes shot open, him sitting up straight. "N-No! I just wanted to check up on you! I respect you too much to do that right now!"

Y/n's face softened, her shoulders dropping. "...You're right. Sorry, you just flirt with me so much, that I thought you would've taking this chance to ask me out." She giggled, taking her spoon and stabbing it into the iced treat.

Kaminari sighed. I can't blame her I guess...

"...Y/n?"

"Hm?"

"Are you really okay? Like...you and Shinso were pretty close...doesn't this breakup make you sad?"

"...Eh, I saw it coming. It's fine."

"How many times are you gonna lie to me?"

"Huh!? I'm not-"

"You are."

Y/n's eyes darted to Kaminari, them piercing straight into him. Her brows drew towards each other and her face seemed to get visibly annoyed. "What's with you lately? You keep asking me that like it's a life or death question."

"Asking you what?"

"If I'm okay! I said I am, so why won't you believe me!?"

"Because-" Kaminari stopped himself, his mouth quickly shutting. He can't say because he found her diary and read all her thoughts and stress...

"Well...I just realized how much you help others around you but...none of us really help you."

"...Huh?"

"Do I gotta spell it out for ya!?" Kaminari hissed, dropping his spoon into the carton. "No one really bothers to ask about your day!...Including me...so just talk to me, okay? You can always open up to me!"

Y/n's eyes narrowed suspiciously, as she had a feeling he had some underlying motive. But she knew she could trust him, and he most likely meant what he was saying. "...Well..."

"Yeah?"

"...I haven't been able to sleep all that well."

"Really? How come?" Come on y/n, spit it out...

"Because...of my quirk."

There it is. "Your quirk?"

"Yeah...yknow how I take on fears of others and forcefully project it onto them? Well...Every night, when I go to sleep, I'm forced to dream of my own fears, over and over again...And it's just...it isn't fun, yknow?" She explained, her voice getting softer and softer.

"And I'll wake up in the middle of the night, shaking and sweating with fear and...and there's no one there to help me...I just have to deal with it all alone..." Her eyes glinted with tears, making Kaminari panic.

Crap! I wasn't expecting her to actually open up, let alone cry!

"W-Woah, hey, uhm...don't cry, okay?" He attempted to comfort her, his hands hovering over his shoulders as he hesitated to touch her.

She wiped her eyes, quickly sucking them back up. "Sorry, I probably made you uncomfortable, didn't I?" She mumbled, sounding as if she were mad at herself for allowing herself to break so easily.

"Huh? No! No no no, I just...." Kaminari started, but trailed off. He then stood up from the bed, taking the ice cream bucket and spoons.

"...Let's go to bed." He insisted, walking to her door.

Y/n gazed up with tear-coated lashes, her nose a dark pink and sniffles quiet. "...What?"
