Izuocha's Love Stories

LOSER LOSES A SECRET (Part 2)

"So," Sero says relaxing on his seat right between Kaminari and Kirishima. "How long have you known?"

It's currently Todoroki's turn and he triggered a mini-game so chibi Endeavor's busy smashing landing debris to save the chibi citizens.

"Oh, shut up, Sero!" Kaminari says. "The deal's only one secret per round?"

"Hee... it's not really a secret right now. Oi, back me up, Kirishima!"

Kirishima smiles but the stiffness is a bit prominent.

"You okay, dude?"

"Uhm, yeah...!" The red-head then places an arm around Sero as they inch closer to Kaminari. "Spill it, Kaminari."

Kaminari rolls his eyes. "I dunno," he says but the stares get to him and he admits, "For a while now."

Sero whistles.

"Ugh! This is lame. I thought if I went with it first, it's gonna be fine! Don't you dare tell her!"

"We won't, Kaminari-kun," Izuku assures. He couldn't even imagine being put in Kaminari's shoes right now. He'd just die if someone else tells Uraraka.

Shit.

"How were you able to tell?"

The question comes from the most unexpected person.

"Is... that you, Todoroki?" Kaminari asks while the mentioned guy is still focused on the screen, finishing the last fifteen seconds of the mini-game.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" His voice sounds direct to the point. A mix of curiosity and just plain will of wanting his question answered.

Kaminari scratches his cheek with a finger. "Uhm, well... I guess I just felt like she seemed different... compared to other girls."

This time, Kirishima whistles.

"Stop that already!"

Todoroki finally finishes the game and hands the controller to Kacchan.

"What do you mean?" Todoroki asks and Kaminari's face starts to grow redder.

"I-I really can't believe that it's you who's asking this..." Kaminari chuckles but still answers. "It's just that, I feel like all girls are cute. It's quite easy for me to find someone attractive..."

"Yeah you and Mineta are busy with that," Kirishima deadpans.

"No, no! I mean I have limits, dude. Come on. Mineta's my pal but he's on another level. Besides..." His voice falters a bit as he looks down. "Jirou's just one of a kind. I dunno what else to say."

Sero, Kirishima, and Todoroki whistle.

"STOP THAT!"

Izuku continues to tremble in his seat. Kaminari's really letting it all out.

Kacchan's turn ends which makes it Kirishima's turn, then Kaminari's, then Sero's. And just like what they declared some minutes ago—

"FUCKIN' LOSERS TEAMING UP!" Kacchan exclaims as he ends up last that second round.

"Not really something a last placer should say," Todoroki says which makes Sero and Kirishima pull Kacchan who's about to start a bloodshed that evening.

"There, there, Kacchan. Just cooperate, it's just a game!" Kaminari says. "Besides, you're the real loser if you don't tell your secret."

Somehow, the fact that he has said his secret puts a certain air of pride for Kaminari. Kacchan seems to fall for that as he pulls himself from his two friends and sits back with a huff.
