You had been half asleep on the couch for a couple hours now, as once again your boyfriend was working a late night and you wanted to at least try to wait up for him. Even though you two lived together, you rarely saw him, as he was working so much overtime. You'd be asleep before he got home and he would be gone before you woke up in the morning. It was frustrating sure, and you've tried to talk to your boyfriend about it, but he just used the excuse 'It's bringing in more money so I don't have to risk you going to work and putting yourself in danger.' Which was the most frustrating thing in the world. You may not have a quirk, but you weren't as fragile s glass! It frustrated you to no end. Sure, it was nice you didn't have to work, but sitting at home bored all day was extremely boring and frustrating.

You were brought out of your thoughts by a snap in front of your face. you look up and see your blonde boyfriend, hair and clothes a mess, but still smiling at you with that bright smile that made you fall in love with him in the first place. You leapt up to your feet and wrapped your arms around him, which made him chuckle.

" Woah woah, hey there cutie! Did you really miss me that much?" He asked, ruffling your hair. you just nodded and buried your face into his chest, which smelled burnt. His clothes were all singed, and so was his hair.

"What happened? You're all... burned." You asked, grabbing at the burnt clothes and his singed hair. He laughed awkwardly and looked at himself, trying to dust himself off to save some face.

"Oh darling it's okay! I just used my quirk a bit too much at work and my clothes burned a bit, nothing much! I'm okay love, really." He said, putting a hand on your cheek, but you weren't having it. You grabbed his hand and dragged him to the bathroom ,with mild protests coming from your boyfriend. 

"I'm giving you a bath. it's my turn to take care of you." You said sternly, crossing your arms. You tried to look serious, but you saw your boyfriend grin at you, which only made you more frustrated. You puffed out your cheeks and gave him a look, which only made him laugh. He sighed and gave in, pulling his jacket and shirt off. You turned on the water and filled it with his favorite bubble bath.

"Damn love, really spoiling me tonight. What's the special occasion? I know it's not my birthday and our anniversary isn't for another couple months so what gives?" He asked, taking the rest of his clothes off and getting into the bathtub. You got a cup and started to rinse his hair down, trying to get all the singed ends cleaned.

"Well, sparky, I'm spoiling you because..." You stop yourself, before taking a deep breath. "Because I can take care of you too. I've missed you so much these past couple weeks, so if I have to give you a bath at 11 pm then I'll give you a bath at 11 pm." You grabbed the shampoo, but he grabbed your hand and stopped you. You looked up at him, and his eyes were full of sadness... and guilt. You of course try to back track, but he stops you.

"No, (Y/N)... you're right. I haven't been around much and... I'm sorry." He said, gripping your hand tighter. "I... I've been meaning to talk to you about it actually. I know you've been trying to stay up for me, I can tell. You're always asleep on the couch, and more than half the time I have to carry you to bed." He said. You looked down, embarrassed, but he picked your chin back up with his other hand, making you meet his eyes.

"Well... You know you can tell me anything, love. I love you, it's why I'm still here after all these years... It's why I moved in with you... It's why I gave you that promise ring." You said, glancing at the small silver band around his finger. He looked at it as well and smiled. He sighed and took in a deep breath, before looking at you again.

"I know I know... I just, didn't want you to think less of me if I opened up to you, but I know that's stupid. I know you wouldn't judge me. I know that. So... I'll tell you." He said, putting a hand on your cheek.

"Look... The reason I've been working so much is... well... I feel like I have to overcompensate to keep up with my old classmates. They're all doing so well for themselves... They live in nicer houses, they have fancy cars, and the ones who have partners they... they always take their partners out to fancy places, spoil them with anything they could ever want, give them the world, and well..." He sighed and blinked back a few tears. "I want to give that to you. I want to give you the world like they give their partners the world. I don't want to live in this crappy apartment, I don't want to have that crappy car we have... I want to bring you flowers every day, I want to get you a really pretty ring for when I propose, I want to treat you like a princess, but I can't... It kills me, (Y/N). I don't want you to feel jealous of your friends for having millionaire boyfriends who can just buy them designer clothes. I want to treat you like they do..." He said, wiping his face. Your heart broke for your poor boyfriend. He was trying so hard to go above and beyond, and you didn't need any of that You just wanted your boyfriend to spend time with you!

"Oh Denki..." You said, putting a hand on his cheek. You got him to meet your eyes, and you smiled at him. "I don't need any of that stuff you know... I don't care about living here, we've made all the memories in the world here... We cooked together for the first time here.. and nearly burned the apartment down in the process." You said, giggling lightly remembering that day. You saw Denki smile a bit too, so you continued.

"You took my first time here... I gave you that promise ring while we were sitting on the couch. We found our favorite reality tv show here, we did so many 'firsts' here, my love. I don't need all the fancy things that the rest of the world has. All I need is you. I need you, our late night ramen runs, and our cuddles on the couch under that terrible blanket we should've replaced a long time ago." You said, pulling Denki into a hug. He hugged you tight, getting your clothes soaked in the process. You two just sat there for awhile, enjoying each others warmth. 

After awhile, you sat back, looking down at your soaked shirt. You both looked up at each other and bust out laughing. You both laughed for a good five minutes, before Denki finally say something.

"Ahah.. damn. Well, guess you'll just have to join me in the bath now huh, cutie?~" He asked with a smirk, which made you laugh again. You playfully sighed and took your own clothes off before getting into the bath with him. He moved a bit, and then pulled you into his lap.

"There's... something else too.." He said, pulling you closer to him. You tilted your head a bit, and he continued to talk. "Well, lately, I've been feeling like.. well.. I feel like I want to take the next step with you, I just... don't know how. I know I want to be with you for the rest of my life I just..." He stopped himself and grabbed your hand, and looked you dead in the eyes.

" I want to marry you, (Y/N). Like I really do. I don't have a ring or anything yet but I swear, I'll get one and give you the best proposal ever, you hear me?" He said, with a determined look in his eyes. You smiled and teared up a bit, before grabbing his hand too.

"Denki Kaminari, you do realize this technically counted as a proposal right? You just- proposed to me, in the bathtub, with me sitting in your lap." You said, giggling like crazy. Denki had a lightbulb moment, and then his face went red. 

"I- well- no! That doesn't count! I-" He tried saying, but you cut him off with a kiss, which he immediately returned.

"And to answer the question, Denki... Yes. I will marry you." You say, smiling at him with tears in your eyes. He grabbed you and pulled you into a tight hug, and you could feel his tears on your shoulder.

"Damn well... this definitely wasn't how I wanted to propose but... I'll take it. We're engaged now, got it?" He asked, kissing all over your face. You giggled and leaned into his touch, and you two just sat in the bath for a little longer, enjoying each other's company...
