Chapter 17

*Kaminaris POV*

It had been about four months since Hitoshi, Present Mic, and Mr. Aizawa had saved Jayda and I from our abusive household.

Mr. Aizawa and I had went to court a few times to testify against the Sakai's. Luckily, we had won, and they had gotten a life sentence.

Hitoshi and I had gotten closer during that period as well. He would help me through panic attacks during the night, or nightmares, and I would help him with opening up about his emotions. We helped each other out a lot with our own needs.

Mr. Aizawa and Present Mic we're going through the long and painful process of adopting Jayda now that she was officially out of the Sakai's custody. Meanwhile, they were just kind of fostering me until I was ready to live in the dorms.

I had started going to therapy along with the entire rest of the family and Jayda. It was hard to open up to my therapist at first, due to my trust issues, but eventually, I felt my walls break around her, and actually started talking about my problems.

I had also finally started hanging out with the Bakusquad more now that I didn't have to worry about protecting Jayda from the dangers at home. Everytime I was over, I realized just how much I had missed out on. Hanging out with them had been awesome! I even started opening up to them about my previous home life, and the reasons why I wouldn't hang out with them.

Yeah, we had a couple of crying sessions. And yes, Mina and Kirishima constantly texted me, making sure ai was okay.

Honestly, though, Hitoshi had been a real great help throughout all of it. He was constantly patient with me, and never rushed me. Which I greatly appreciated, especially during our study and home work sessions.

After talking with my therapist a few weeks prior, I had realized that I had feelings for Hitoshi. Feelings greater than just that of best friends.

It had been such an awkward period for me when I discovered it, that I couldn't even look at him without turning into a bright reed tomato. He had been greatly confused that week, you say the least.

But, I finally came to terms with it. Now I was just trying to know what I should with the newly found information.

Currently, in the present, right now  Hitoshi and I were hanging out in town, just kind of walking around, going into shops and purchasing some dorky small things, or eating at a restraunt. Just kind of having a good time with the presence of the other.

The sun was setting, and the scenary was beautiful. The color of the water was gorgeous. The sky was a really pretty midnight fading into a ruby red, into a pastel rose gold, into a buttermilk yellow.

We had walked through the park, through the woods, and to the river. We were sitting on the ground, just watching the sunset.

The sunset was reflexing off of the water, making all kinds of different pretty colors, and really mesmerizing to gaze into. When the wind picked up lightly, my hair would lightly flow into my face, and the water would ripple, making the colors on the surface swirl even more. The treetops would ruffle lightly, and the early autumn leaves would gently fall down in a swirl of red, yellowx and orange.

I looked over to Hitoshi. He was gazing at the water, just gazing. Completely calm, and at peace. The sun reflected off of his face just right, to make it look like he was the ultimate power. His face looked so soft, and his eye bags were barely visible. His skin appeared to be glowing, and his eyes reflected the color it the water perfectly. He was perfect.

I felt my face flush as I looked away, back towards the water.

I felt something touch my hand, I goanced down, and saw Hitoshi's hand on top of my own. I felt my heart speed up as a small smile tugged on the corners of my lips, and I entangled his hand with my own.

I saw a his neutral face light up for an instance, and a smile take it's place. My heart melted as I quickly snapped my head away from our hands, trying to get my heart under control.

I felt the breeze shift around me as Hitoshi scooted closer to me, and wrapped the hand that had previously grabbed mine around my waist  pulling me closer, and he took my now cold hand into his other one and rubbed his thumb along my pointer finger.

Hitoshi leaned his head on my shoulder as he continued to rub his thumb on my pointer finger. He moved the hand that had been wrapped around my waist to the top of my other shoulder.

I calmed myself down enough to use my free hand to grip the one had was on my shoulder, and lean my head on his own.

"This is perfect," he myttered so quietly I could barely hear. I hummed out in response.

"Yeah, perfect," I said.

We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, just enjoying the scenary and each other's embraces. Enjoying the fact that we didn't have to worry about hero work, or about school work at this moment.

Right now, it was just me, and Hitoshi. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Denki, can I ask you something?" Hitoshi asked. I nodded my head against his.

"Would you be my boyfriend?"
