Late Nights

Chapter 2

Luckily it was Saturday, because when Shinso woke up he felt like he had been hit by a bus. His whole body ached and it felt like he was running a fever. Although the boy next to him was still asleep, he could tell that Kaminari was also sick. Even though Shinso knew he should change out of his still wet clothes, he doubted Kaminaris would fit him. He didn't feel like going back to his dorm either. Currently it was 6:41 a.m. meaning that everyone would probably be waking up soon. Just as Shinso was about to wake Kaminari up, Mina Ashido came bursting through the door with an armful of clothes and a grocery bag.

"Rise and Shine you two!" the pink toned girl chirped while closing the door behind her. "You guys can go shower while I get new bed sheets. I have some of Kirishima's clothes for you to borrow Shinso."

"How did you-" Shinso started but Ashido cut him off.

"I was getting a late night snack when I saw you two come back."

Kaminari groaned and pulled the sheets further over his head as he awoke. His head was already pounding but now he had to deal with Mina's high energy, which was worse since she was in "mom mode". With another groan Denki sat up and glared at the cheery girl trying to get her to tone it down.

"Geez, I understand you're sick and moody but keep that up and you won't be getting any of this." Mina said, holding up the bag full of medicine, drinks, and snacks she had brought with her.

Kaminari switched to begging puppy dog eyes and stretched out his arms towards Mina making grabby motions with his hands. Mina chuckled at him as she dropped the bag in his lap, and out of the corner of his eye Kaminari saw Shinso give a little smirk of amusement.

"You really need all that?" Shinso questioned, eyeing the vapor rub, vitamin C cough drops, ibuprofen, and crackers in the bag.

"Oh this little pikachu loves to be pampered when he's sick and is an absolute pain if he doesn't have what he wants." Mina said, putting two bottles of ginger ale in the mini fridge by Kaminari's bed. "Now go shower so I can change the sheets and clean your clothes."

Shinso was finished with his shower in only fifteen minutes. Luckily Kendo had guessed Shinso was in 1A's dorms and dropped off his phone and some clothes for him without questioning the reason he was there.

"Well since you aren't going to wear these clothes I stole from Kirishima then I'm sure Kaminari would love too." Ashido stated, mostly to herself.

"Oh are they dating or something?" Shinso asked before he could think of what he was saying.

"Do you like Kaminari!?" Mina asked with an exaggerated gasp.

"What no!" Shinso exclaimed, nearly choking on his cough drop.

"If you say so, but I'm pretty sure Kirishima likes Bakugou anyway. Besides, everyone in the Bakusquad has stolen some sort of shirt or something from Kirishima at some point."

Kaminari had just finished up with his shower and was getting dressed when he decided to eavesdrop on the conversation happening in his room. He regretted it almost immediately. Hearing Shinso say he didn't like him hurt in a way. Kaminari had almost immediately fallen for the mysterious insomniac. Even though Shinso put up a cold exterior, Kaminari knew that he actually cared for people whether he chose to show it or not. He was sick so if he was to just walk out and curl up in Minas lap she would think it was just that, that he was sick, not that he had just heard his crush say that he didn't like him. Kaminari took a deep breath before opening the door and walking out into his room. Mina was sitting at the foot of his bed so he went, laid down next to her, and put his head in her lap.

"Aw, do you not feel good? Do you want your ginger ale and ibuprofen now?" Mina offered, gently petting the blonds head.

"Mhm."

"Alrighty then, Shinso could you please-" Mina started, but Shinso was already handing her the drink and pills.

After finishing his drink and eating a few crackers Kaminari eventually fell asleep listening to the faint sound of music coming from Minas earbuds.

Denki had fallen asleep with his head in her lap. After a few minutes Mina paused her music and let out a sigh, looking back at Shinso who was scrolling through his phone.

"What?" he asked.

"I don't know if you know this," Mina started. "But Kaminari has a bad habit of eavesdropping on people's conversations."

Mina could see the hint of regret in Shinso's eyes.

"Just thought I would let you know." With that Mina resumed her music and continued scrolling through her phone.
