Nyctophilia (KamiDeku)

Chapter 17

The day of the exam. 

An anxious Kaminari held a very supportive Izuku between his arms. The green haired boy mumbled sweet nothings into his ear while Kaminari soaked in every word, trying his best to feel better. 

"You'll be fine, just remember what we talked about." Izuku assured.

Aizawa's slack voice was heard over the loudspeaker.

"The exam will now begin.... First up, Kaminari and Bakugo. Make your way inside the building."

Kaminari gulped as he watched the nonchalant blonde making his way into the building ahead of him.

"I'm gonna die." 

"You'll be fine." Izuku rubbed his back.

"No you don't understand- He's gonna kill me."

"You're just being dramatic, Kacchan wouldn't-"

Bakugo's booming voice called out from the entrance of the building. 

"Hey! Hurry up, loser! I'm dying to know what an exploded Pikachu looks like."

"See!" Kaminari flung an arm out in Bakugo's direction, gesturing at him. 

"Just stick to the plan, you'll be fine."

"You think it'll still work?"

"With Kacchan's quirk? You couldn't have asked for a better pairing."

Kaminari sighed and stepped away, grabbing Izuku's hands into both of his and holding them close to his heart. 

"My life is in your scarred, little hands."

Kaminari placed a quick kiss on Izuku's forehead and squeezed his hands tightly, rambling at a quicker speed than the poor green haired boy could keep up with.

"If anything happens to me I just want you to know I love you and don't you dare move on. If I die, you're coming with me. But before you die you can decorate my casket, you're really good at drawing." He continued rambling even after Bakugo grabbed him by the waist and dragged him away from Izuku, his hands outstretched to the boy. "And don't you dare move on with Uraraka! I swear to God I will ghost slap the ever-loving shit out of both of you!" 

Izuku blinked. "Huh?"

They were both inside the building now. The door squeaked shut behind them. 

"5." Aizawa's voice came in through the loudspeaker again, faint static could be heard in the background.

Kaminari breathed in. Focus.

"4."

Bakugo cracked his knuckles and crouched down into a fighting stance Kaminari was all too familiar with.

"3."

Kaminari activated his quirk, a surge of light shocks radiating from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He could compare the feeling to having his legs fall asleep, but the sensation being throughout his entire body.

"2."

He bent his knees.

"1. Start."

It all happened in an instant. Kaminari knew he had to be quick.

Bakugo had lunged forward with a right hook for his face, just like Izuku had said he would. He was able to barely duck underneath the blonde's arm and sprint behind him. If he hadn't had anticipated it, he would've gotten hit.

"Basement. Basement. It's gotta be in the basement." He chanted under his breath, making his way for the stairs.

"Coward!" He heard Bakugo running behind him.
