Electro-Punk Love, a Kamijirou story

Chapter 5: Just a song

Jirou: Thanks...Denki.

Kaminari looked at Jirou with a big smile, it didn't matter if she liked him back or not, in those moments, seeing her smile back with hope in her eyes was enough for the electric hero. Her happiness was his reason to live.

Kaminari stood up and talked to her.

Kaminari: Come on, we still got time to train a little more, what do you say?- He said trying to encourage her.

Jirou: Alright...let's continue.- She answered back feeling pumped up again, ready to resume her training.

They continued training for an hour or so, Jirou was physically exhausted but her spirit said she could continue maybe a little more. 

Jirou: Ahh! I thought I could do more!

Kaminari kneeled to her level and put a hand on her shoulder- You did good Jirou.- He said with a gentle and honest smile

Jirou: T-thanks, Denki...I did alright, but I think I could've done more. Perhaps I need to train harder tomorrow.

Kaminari: What's wrong Earphone Jack? Can't handle the Pikachu style?- He said sounding very cocky and giving her a teasing smirk, he liked when cute little moments quickly turned funny and playful with her.

Jirou: Pffftt! I can handle the Pikachu style. After all, you haven't seen half of my training.- She answered back at his teasing, and they both laughed.

Kaminari: Hey, if you need my help, you know where to find me. Now come on, let's get to the dorms, it's already dark outside. The blonde stretched his hand towards her to help her get on her feet. 

Jirou: Yes, it is quite late. Maybe we can do another training session one of these days.- She said smiling back at Denki

They both gathered their stuff, locked the gym entrance, and started heading back to the dorms. It was around 7:30 pm, it was already nighttime, but they'd be on time for dinner at the dorms.

They both started walking along the pathway, the light poles illuminated the path, with little fireflies flying around the lights. The temperature difference was noticeable at night, it was fresh but not cold, the night sky was clear of any clouds and they could see the city skyline at the horizon, a truly beautiful sight. Kaminari turned his face towards Kyoka and asked her.

Kaminari: Hey... J-Jirou- He said a little flustered, but the dark of the night camouflaged the pink on his cheeks, lucky for him they weren't noticeable at all.

Jirou: Yeah, Denks?- She turned at him.

Kaminari: Since the start of this second year...you s-stopped calling me names like Jamming-yay, or dumbnuts, or idiot... Not that I was bothered but, why did you start calling me Denki?- He asked feeling a little flustered.

Jirou: Oh...I kinda of forgot about that. Hmm, well it must be because I kinda am comfortable around you. I have to admit...you're really charming when you're not stupid.- She blushed a little, she wasn't wrong though. Since the start of their second year, Kyoka was a little more open and less shy, especially with Kaminari. Their friendship was stronger than before.

Kaminari: Hehe jeez thanks.- "Just take the compliment idiot".- he thought to himself after she said he was charming even though she also called him stupid.

Kaminari: Still, I like it when you call me Pikachu...is funny and...kind of cute.- He added, feeling his heartbeat get faster by the second.

Jirou: Hehe, I guess I can call you Pikachu, if that makes you feel good, you idiot.- She said sarcastically, chuckling just seeing Denki's face after calling him an idiot yet again.
