In Her Name [BNHA x Reader]

[73] The Thing About Harajuku (Part 4)

Back into the river you went.

The water wasn't blue. There were no fish.

Colorful streaks of skin and clothing painted your peripheral vision.

It was almost overwhelming.

Luckily, you had a boat.

At the bow was Bakugou.

As he walked, his broad shoulders rocked side to side, like the calming lull of ocean waves.

On the port side, Midoriya was keeping his promise.

His big eyes curiously darted to and fro, but he stayed right next to you.

And Todoroki occupied the starboard.

His left hand was so close to touching your right. Whenever Todoroki felt the tiniest brush of your cold fingers, the temperature of his left side would spike up.

Someone jumped on your back and you blinked.

Nonetheless, you slipped your hands beneath their legs.

"You made me cry again."

Sunflower yellow hair tickled your cheek.

"I am sorry, Kaminari."

Second only to Midoriya, Kaminari was a total crybaby.

That was okay. You didn't mind.

He pouted. "You gotta make it up to me."

"Does Kaminari wish for me to construct another sand castle?"

That got a laugh out of him.

"You're funny."

"Kaminari thinks so?"

"When you're not making me cry, yeah."

You paused.

Then you shut your mouth and Kaminari buried his smile into the softness of your sweater.

Todoroki, who was side-eying Kaminari, was just inches away from setting him on fire.

Midoriya swallowed. He almost wanted to make himself cry just to get your attention.

The only one with the balls to say anything was Bakugou.

"You're so fucking gross!" Red veins popped around the edges of his eyes. "You make me wanna stick a fork in your mouth!"

Kaminari raised a brow. "What, why? We're just talking."

From behind Kaminari, Jiro poked him with her earphone jacks. "Are you flirting with guys now 'cause you can't get a girlfriend?"

Kaminari's jaw fell open. "What the hell, Jiro!?"

She clapped her hand over her mouth. She was shaking with muffled laughter.

Bakugou smugly turned up his chin.

One corner of Todoroki's lips twitched.

Midoriya laced his fingers in front of his face, mortified.

Kaminari wailed, "You guys suck!"

He hopped off your back, and taking you by the wrist, he dragged you into a nearby cosplay store.

All sorts of frilly and bright-colored things flew past you.

The whole time, Kaminari was mumbling and pouting. Again.
