"Hey, can we get like curtains with lightning bolts on them?", asked Denki. "This is an apartment, not your base of operations", said Kyouka.
The electric quirk user pouted and plopped down onto the couch. "Don't act like that. Now help me unpack, please?" Denki stood up and walked out the door to get the other boxes.
Kyouka and Denki had been dating now for three years, and had decided to move in together.
The young female placed down a box and opened it, seeing the coffee machine that was in it.
"What's that?", asked Denki, who just returned with a box. "It's a coffee machine my mom gave us. You could swear she thought we were getting married."
"I mean, we do act like that sometimes, according to my mom."
Kyouka looked up, seeing het boyfriend lowered with his hands on his knees and a smile on his face, forcing a blush to start growing on her face.
"W-was he always this cute?"
Denki walked away to get more boxes. Kyouka smacked her face. "Since when did I think of him as cute?! Last time I thought this way was when I realized I had a crush on him! Is it because I'm imagining him as my husband?"
"Babe? You okay?" Kyouka stood up, brushing away her previous flustered feeling, standing confidently. Now it was Denki's turn to become lost in thought.
"Did Kyouka always look so... beautiful? What would she look like in a wedding dress? Wait, what am I thinking right now!"
Right now, both the young adults were having a problem. Recently, when they told their parents that they would be moving in together, an interesting topic was brought up: marriage.
The conversation the parents had just didn't leave Kyouka's or Denki's mind.
"Well, everything looks good right now. It's almost dinner time, so what say we eat now? How about the usual place?"
Denki nodded. "I... I want to have it here." "Here?" "Yeah! I... want to see what it's like eating at our new table!" Kyouka looked down at the ground, gripping her arms incredibly tight while blushing. "Um, I kind of want to shower right now."
"Oh, okay. So, what do you want to do first?" "How about we eat. I am actually pretty hungry." "Y-yeah! Me too!"
. . .
The couple sat at the dining table, eating their food silently. "So... how is it going at work? And don't say it went good, because we need a longer conversation to get rid of this awkward silence."
"Well, I fought a villain who had a quirk that could turn him into rubber. And my quirk makes me shoot electricity, so you know the story."
"Yeah. You lost." "Hey! For the record, the fight was challenging, but I didn't lose." Kyouka laughed. "Wow. You are going to be one mean wife", joked Denki, before realizing what he just said.
The two pro heroes went red in the face.
"I mean, um..."
And just like that, more awkward silence.
. . .
Kyouka sat in her bed, lost in thought and listening to the shower that was being used by Denki.
The running water stopped, signaling that the man that was using it had just finished up.
He stayed in longer, putting on sleepwear before walking out.
"Hey, Denki? Can we talk?" The said man nodded and sat down on the bed. "I feel like everything is weird between us right now." "Tell me about it. I don't want to sound like a jerk and all, but your parents..." "Are to blame. Don't worry, I agree."
Denki rubbed his thumbs against his knuckles. "But, your dad had the most influence on me." "Really now?" "Yeah. When we told them we were moving in together, your dad said something to me before we left. At first I didn't think anything of it, but now..."
Kyouka watched her lover move closer to her. "He gave me his blessing." "His blessing? As in..." "Yep."
Denki took his girlfriend's hand. "And I'm starting to actually accept his offer."
He pecked Kyouka's forehead. "I've been noticing things about you since we moved in here." "Like?" "How beautiful you were." Kyouka blushed at this comment.
"That realization, along with your dad giving me his blessing, made me realize what I want to do." Denki lifted Kyouka's hand up. "Kyouka Jirou, will you marry me?"
Kyouka's voice got caught in her throat, but then she smiled. "Denki, I've been noticing something too. When we moved in, I though you looked more... cute. And I only noticed this because of our parents with the whole marriage thing. And if I'm with someone so cute, then... yes. Yes! I will marry you!"
She pulled Denki into a deep kiss, but stopped when she heard him laugh. "What's so funny?" "We're sitting on a bed, close to each other, and talking about a problem. Sound familiar?" "Can't say?"
"I'm talking about our first time", Denki said with a flirtatious grin.
Kyouka blushed for a moment, before taking Denki's hand. "Wanna keep re-enacting that moment?" The electric quirk user smiled and took off his shirt and kissed his girlfriend, pushing her down to the bed.
That night, was the night of new beginnings for Denki Kaminari and Kyouka Jirou.
