Emotional Rainbow

Excited and nervous

I woke up to my alarm going off. I jump out of bed and start to feel both excited and nervous about today. By the end of the night I will be done with this stupid ass quirk and hopefully have a boyfriend.

I had let myself sleep until 9. I wanted to be well rested but also wanted plenty of time to get everything ready. I head down to the kitchen. First I'm gonna make breakfast for myself and since I plan on packing something to take to the beach, I'll cook everything at the same time. I also need to check with Mina to see what she plans on doing for tonight.

I start the rice cooker and grill up some fish. The first pan will be mild for Shitty Hair. I plan on making up two bento boxes to take with us. I cook a second pan with more spices for myself next. I also do up some vegetables with a slight kick so we can both enjoy them.

I portion out the bento boxes first and then serve up a plate for me to eat now. I put the boxes in the fridge for later, grab my plate and some tea and head to sit down to eat. It's almost 10, so only 2 hours until I get to meet up with Shitty Hair and head to the beach.

Ugh, I am so fucking nervous! I want, no I need this day to be perfect. He deserves nothing less.

Since it's a Saturday there's not a lot of people around. As I'm eating Mina walks in, spots me, and makes a beeline to sit down across from where I'm sitting.

"Morning Blasty! Excited about today?" She smiles and wags her eyebrows suggestively.

"More like petrified." I mumble. I then drop my chopsticks and put my face in my hands. "Mina, what if we're all wrong and he doesn't feel the same." I whisper. I don't think I even realized how vulnerable I was feeling until just now.

"Oh sweetie." She jumps up and dashes around the table to put her arms around my shoulders. "First off, I adore this soft side of Mr Explosion Murder." She lets out a quick giggle and continues. "Second, you have nothing to worry about. Kiri likes you. We all know this. He's just waiting for you to make the first move."

"Tch" I look up at her. "Don't get used to it. I'm not going completely soft. This dam quirk has been fucking with my head all week."

"Sounds to me like it's your heart that's been messed with," she giggled, "but, in a good way."

I pick up my chopsticks and continue eating without responding to her.

"Trust me Blasty. Today is going to be amazing." She started to walk towards the kitchen. "I have everything for tonight planned out. Be back around 5 and prepare yourself to be blown away by my handiwork. And don't ask what I'm doing. It's a surprise for both of you."

"It better be perfect!" I call out to her, only half joking. I actually do trust her and I can't wait to see what she does.

I finish my food, clean my dishes, and head back to my room. I have to finish packing up stuff to take to the beach and then get myself ready to go.

I pack up a blanket, some towels, sunscreen, and water bottles. I'll grab our food on my way out. I have a small surprise for Shitty Hair that I pack up too. I grin to myself thinking about how he'll react. He's such a dork.

I check the time and it's already 11:00. How did it get so late. I go to my closet to figure out what to wear. I know I'll wear swim trunks and probably a tank top to the beach. I think I'll have us both change before going to the roof later. So I pick out some black jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black, short sleeved, buttoned down shirt to put over it. I want to look really good for him. Now I just need to change clothes and I'll be ready.

At 11:30, I decide I can't wait in my room any longer. I grab my backpack, slip on some sandals, and head to the kitchen to grab the bento boxes. I walk in the kitchen and see Denki and Shinsou.

"Hey man." Denki starts. "Kiri is so excited for today. He wouldn't shut up about it yesterday."

Shinsou glances my way with one eyebrow raised. "He referred to today as his one on one time with his BF."

Denki let out a laugh. "Yeah, Sero about choked on his drink when he said that. We all had to explain that BF stood for boyfriend and not best friend. He stuttered a few times but didn't take it back. His face was about as red as his hair."

"Of course he doesn't know that you plan on making that a reality." Shinsou added.

I can feel my face start to get warm. "Would you two shut up." I whisper shout. "He should be down here any minute." I look around to see if anyone is around.

"You're about as red as he was." Denki laughs. "And here I thought I was the disaster when it came to dating."

Shinsou turns towards him and says with a chuckle. "This coming from the guy who, when trying to ask me out, asked me if I knew how to eat good sushi."

I laugh out loud at that and grab out the bento boxes and put them in my bag.

"Toshi!" Denki huffs. "Why would you betray me like that?" He crosses his arms and pouts. But only for a minute as Shinsou reaches out to pull him into his arms.

"Ah Kitten, you know I love you." He kisses him on his temple. "I was just trying to show Bakugo that he's not the only one who has gotten nervous  when asking someone out."

With a shy smile Denki turned his face to look up at Shinsou. "I love you, too." And leans in for a kiss.

"Alright, I'm out of here before I get sick from all the sap in here." I say without any real malice.

Thinking that I'm early, I walk outside but stop immediately. Standing at the bottom of the steps is Shitty Hair. He's looking away from me so I have a moment to admire him. His hair is down and he's wearing green swim trunks with a black tank top. He's got a towel thrown over his shoulder. Dam, he looks hot.

That's when he turned towards me and gave me that wide, toothy grin. I swear my heart stopped.
