"GET IT DONE CHARGEBOLT!"

Denki Kaminari

If shopping was going to cheer Toru up, then shopping it was. The whole way there they laughed and joked around about what they had done before the summer training camp. Since summer was so short there really wasn't much to tell, but they still chatted away with the memories from the day at the school pool right before the summer camp and the memories from I-Island.

Kaminari whined, "I still can't believe I was stuck training while the girls played at the pool." Jiro scoffed and shook her head, "Everyone knows that you only wanted to go to the pool while we were there to see girls in bikinis." He shrugged shamelessly, why should he hide how he really was? "Forget about that! You guys got to go to the pre-opening event at I-Island? I'm so jealous!" Toru whined. "Well, it was kind of ruined by a villain attack." Jiro deadpanned. Toru didn't let up, "Did you at least wear a dress Jiro? Those events are definitely dress to impress." Kaminari watched as Jiro awkwardly scratched at the back of her neck. He could perfectly picture the cute pink dress that she had been wearing as well as the black jacket and the flower in her hair. "I did, but it was borrowed from Momo. I don't actually own anything like that for such a fancy event." Jiro admitted and even Kaminari knew that had been a mistake.

"Oh my gosh! Really? We need to fix this immediately!" Toru practically yelped from her excitement. Suddenly she whirled onto Kaminari who had been silently watching, "You have to be the judge! Pretty please Kami~." She begged while flinging herself onto Kaminari and hanging on for dear life. Normally he would have been ecstatic to have one of the curvier girls in class basically draped over him, but right now it was only uncomfortable. Probably because he was all sweaty from the summer heat. He gently pried Toru off while saying, "Sure, but why do you even want me to judge?" Completely ignoring his question, Toru cheered and began to pull a rather annoyed looking Jiro behind her. Kaminari picked up the pace to jog to keep pace. "You've done it now Jamming-Whey." Jiro said from her position behind Toru. He smiled back, "At least she seems happy now."

The rest of the trip to the small shopping district was quick. There weren't really any nice clothing stores around, so the trio settled for grabbing a bite to eat and heading for a seasonally themed one. It was nice to be in the shade, even if it was a little bit stuffy from the humidity. Right up front there were racks filled with summer dresses, shorts, tops and hats. A little farther behind there were sandals, shades, and sunscreen while to the right there were several racks filled with swim trunks and swimsuits. Truly the embodiment of summer in clothing.

"Sorry Toru, this is the closest we are going to get right now to shopping for clothes." Kaminari apologized but Toru just shrugged him off. This might actually be better since we could use the clothes right now instead of on the rare fancy occasions." Kaminari smiled before his brain caught up. "We?" "Yeah! Now that it isn't something fancy we can all afford at least one thing." Kaminari could have swore that Toru was beaming even though he couldn't see her face, or well, her in general. They moved further into the small establishment and Toru began going through the tops. Kaminari drifted off to the side, picking up a sun hat with a crown of yellow sun flowers, turning it side to side. Toru wasn't wrong saying that they could at least get one item each at this store so should he get this for himself? The sunflowers would complement his hair well. Or maybe he should get it for Jiro, it would be a great contrast for her dark purple hair and sparkling purple eyes. Thinking about it, it would probably look better on Jiro. Maybe there was a darker colored hat for him? And then they would-

"I was going to say "Karma", but you actually look like you are enjoying being here." Jiro said, suddenly appearing beside him. Kaminari yelped, electricity crackling by his ears as it danced through his hair. He turned around to a smirking Jiro. "And for a hero in training you are ridiculously easy to startle." "You are just too quiet." He retorted, hat still in hand. Jiro rolled her eyes so he took that opportunity to put the sunhat on her head. "The heck Kaminari?" Jiro asked from underneath the hat. Without answering he stepped back enough so that he could see her and honestly? Jiro looked considerably cuter than he imagined with the sunflower sunhat. And he had been totally right, the yellow sunflower contrasted perfectly with her purple hair and eyes. She was still looking at him in confusion but hadn't moved to take the hat off. "Kaminari?" He opened his mouth to answer but was beat to it by Toru.

"You look so cute with that hat Jiro! I'll look for something with sunflowers on it." The clothes then turned to face Kaminari. "I have found the perfect shirt for you! Come 'ere!" Though it was very ironic she said since he grabbed his arm right after and pulled him with her. She brought him around a couple racks and then shoved a couple pieces of cloth in his face. Grabbing them he held them up one by one to see what Toru wanted him to try on. "I think you could totally pull it off! You're all lean muscle with a nice slim figure, and it works with your whole 'pretty boy' aesthetic!" Kaminari held the crop-tank top up and a couple other normal tank tops. "Uh, thanks?"

The first one was a tie-dye of light, pale grey and purple with a small bunch of purple flowers, possibly salvias, on the front, the petals glossed over in some sort of sparkly dust that shimmered when it moved. There was a white tank top with marigolds and a plain red tank top. Holding up the tie-dye one Kaminari asked, "Toru, you do remember I'm a guy, right?" The shirt didn't even turn around as she answered, "That is exactly why I think it would look good on you! Challenge the stereotype! Plus, it is super-hot outside right now so wearing a t-shirt would be torture." Kaminari continued to stare at the top.

It's not that he was averse to wearing crop tops, Mina had already given him some as a joke and he had to admit that they were comfortable, and he certainly had more than a few tank tops for when he went to work-out at the gym with Kirishima and Bakugo. This was just... a bit more? Yeah, that. A bit more than he was used to. Finally, Toru turned around, another bundle of clothes floating in front of her. "Oh my gosh Kaminari, just go try it on." Was all she said before turning around and leaving, probably to go find Jiro.

He walked through a few racks and arrived to the small cubicles in the back just in time to see Toru pushing Jiro into one of the cubicles, bundle of clothes in her arms and hat still on her head. "These aren't my style!" Jiro complained but Toru only pulled the curtain closed. "You'll look great girl. And we have the class playboy here to testify to it." Kaminari tripped on his own feet making his cheeks warm and tingly. "Um, I don't think I qualify as the "class playboy" since I haven't actually gotten a date." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, it's certainly not because of a lack of effort." Jiro called out and Toru giggled.

Kaminari could only roll his eyes before going towards the other cubicle. Though before he could step in Toru grabbed his arm. "You can't change yet! You have to be here to approve of Jiro's outfit." She whispered. "Do I really have too though? Jiro is only going to stab me, no matter what I say." He pouted. The jingling of the curtain caught both of their attention and they turned.

There stood Jiro, still wearing the short and fish nets, but now she a white crop top with sunflowers as well as the hat. "Wow! You look so good! And the combination of the hat and shirt really make a great contrast with your hair!" Toru said while jumping in place with glee. "What do you think Kami?" Once again, the attention was thrown to him. He took advantage of the fact that he was supposed to be judging the outfit to carefully study Jiro. The straw hat covered her face and hair, those shining purple eyes peeking at him from underneath the brim. The crop top was an off-shoulder combination with traps running around her pale neck, leaving her shoulders, and tummy exposed to his eyes. The way it hung loosely accentuated her slim waist and then the curve of her hips while her hands tapped her earphone jacks together in the way she always did when she was nervous. The shorts and fishnets looked a little off with the lack of dark colors, but it only added to her rebellious style.

"Stop staring and say something you pervert."

His cheeks tingled and he snapped his eyes up to meet hers from where they had been lingering on her thighs. "I'm not a pervert Jiro! I was only doing my job." He huffed. "Then what's the verdict?" Toru asked from beside him. Darn, what was he supposed to say? She looked hot, just a little sexy with a whole lot of cute mixed in but he couldn't say that, or she would definitely stab him. "Um, well, you look... nice? No, that's not right. Well, yes, it is. You look very nice, but what I meant to say was that... You look... very cute? Yeah. The colors go well together." He finished, nervously glancing between Jiro and anywhere that wasn't Jiro. It hadn't been a very confident start and much less a confident end but at least it was out there, and it hadn't been too 'perverted'... hopefully.

After a few more seconds of silence where there was no pain Toru spoke up. "Well it seems the outfit passed the test. On to the next one!"
