MHA/BNHA POVs

Horror Movie with Denki Kaminari

You packed away the assignment you'd just managed to finish after many weeks of procrastination, practically running towards the common room to spend time with your friends like you promised yourself you would once you did what you were supposed to do afterwards.

"There's no way in hell that you wouldn't piss your pants watching, Sparkplug." You heard as you approached them. Instead of sneaking up on Denki like you usually did, you opted for a simpler approach.

"Ouch, that hurt-- oh, hey, cutie!" Denki kissed your cheek once you were close enough to him. "Did ya finish your work, or did you just miss me too much?"

You shook your head, smiling lightly. "I'm done, but I guess I missed you a little too. Whatcha talking about?"

"Nothing much, just talking about how your dear boyfriend here thinks he can watch the new horror movie without wetting himself." Sero grinned.

"Actually, we were just saying Kaminari wouldn't be able to sit through that movie. No offence, man, but you're not exactly the calmest when it's needed. I still think you're manly though!" Kirishima added. Every single one of them was right; apparently the movie had sky-high ratings from horror movie fanatics and reviews talking about how the movie had shaken them to their core.

If Denki, the one who couldn't sit through horribly executed jump scares were to watch it, he'd lose his mind.

You chuckled. "Denki, baby. I love you, but I don't think you'd be able to sit through it."

Denki looked at you in mock disbelief, then faced away from you. "I feel so betrayed right now. You're dating me, you have to be on my side! As if you could watch it!"

Bakugou, Mina, Sero and Kirishima looked you over, then looked at each other, nodding. "What?" You asked.

"Hate to say it, but Dunceface's right."

"Thanks, bro!"

"If anyone after him is gonna be screaming like a baby, it's gonna be you. Bunch of crybabies." Bakugou finished, wiping the grin off of Denki's face.

You felt like you should be defending yourself. "What do you mean?! I can be unbothered when watching horrors!" This wasn't really the truth, but you were willing to roll with it.

"Oh yeah? Then, watch the movie. With me. Whoever refuses to watch more, or has nightmares, loses." Denki crossed his arms and looked at you, trying to initiate a face-off. The boy took useless debates like this too seriously sometimes. The problem lay in having you as a partner.

You always hyped him up or joined in at the end of the day, no matter how stupid or pointless whatever he wanted to do was.

"Fine. Bring it on, pretty boy!"

"Aww, you think I'm pretty? Guys, Y/N thinks I'm pretty."

The wind bellowed outside, rattling the windows when you least expected it. The two of you sat in darkness, save for the flash of light from the TV screen. God, within the first few minutes, you knew the squad was right. The sights you saw on the screen were gruesome; more so than you were expecting. It took everything in you not to shut your eyes or switch the TV off.

The things you did for pride.

With the way Denki was clinging onto you, you knew that he was half-scared to death too. You could hear it in his voice everytime he tried to sound smug and crack a joke about you cracking first. You knew he was trying to get you to break first, just so he could say that he beat you.

"You're holding my hand pretty tight, cutie. Sure you don't wanna back out?"

"Denki. You're squeezing the life out of mine." You winced as the main character received another gruesome injury.

It's not real. It's not real. It's not real.

Not even being spooned by Denki on the couch had you feeling at all comforted. The blond had insisted on being the big spoon this time because he could 'protect you' when you were scared.

"Denki, are you okay?" You asked. Honestly, the pride wasn't gonna be worth sleepless nights.

"Yeah."

"Are you lying to me?"

"Yeah." Denki's grip on you tightened. "I'm terrified. I surrender. Please, just switch this off."

You wasted no time in doing what Denki asked you to do, running afterwards to switch the lights on. You walked back to your boyfriend, who had his arms open, asking for a cuddling session.

"I'm never doing that again. Never did like the scary part of Halloween." Denki said as he nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck.

"What part of Halloween do you like?" You asked, even though you already knew the answer to the question.

"Sugar. Lots of it. And costumes! Especially matching ones. Me and you are doing that, right?"

You scoffed. "What kind of significant other would I be if I didn't? And no, you do not get to pick the costumes. I just know you're gonna make them dumb."

"Killjoy." Denki mumbled. "Let's get the story straight. We finished the movie."

You laughed. "No way am I willing to give Bakugou the satisfaction. Let's just search up what happens in the movie, okay?"

Denki kissed your neck, then held you tighter. "This is why I'm dating you."

"Not because of my unbelievable good looks?" You joked and Denki laughed. 

"That too. And much more."

"I hope you know, Sparky, that I'm sleeping with you tonight. Seeing as this-- not like that, pervert!" Denki had wiggled his eyebrows and you hit him. "Ouch!" 

Denki laughed once more. You were glad you had craned you neck to look at him; the boy's laugh could put the Sun out of business. "I was kidding! It was not my fault! You guys just need to stop teasing me so much! Techinically, you're to blame for this!"

This led to some quick back-and-forth banter, until the rustling of the windows became a little too much for your still terrified selves to handle. The night ended at Denki's dorm, the two of you holding each other underneath many blankets. It was still cold; you had to warm yourselves up somehow.

Bonus points; the monster from the movie wouldn't be able to detect the two of you that easily. Not that it existed.

Still, better safe than sorry.

-end, this was supposed to come out yesterday, but i had to attend a funeral, which ended up into a family reunion, resulting in us staying longer than usual... so yeah :) My head also hurts, so i apologise if this isn't really good.

Thanks for reading!
