Electro-Punk Love, a Kamijirou story

Chapter 15: Maybe I do

Kaminari stood up from the floor and walked towards his room, with his head down. Since he started dedicating songs to Jirou, all the lyrics of the songs were taken literally, and that had played a trick on him now. That's what happens when you eavesdrop.

He reached towards the handle of his door, taking a pause, wondering what to do next. He was feeling horrible, just a couple of minutes ago he was thinking he might have a shot with the girls of his dreams. That he might have a chance to be happy...but now, the only thing he had was sadness and broken dreams. So much so that he needed to drain it out with someone, someone who he could trust. Before entering his room, he pulled out his phone and texted a certain friend.

*Knock* knock* knock*

Kirishima: Hey bro, may I come in?

Kaminari: Yeah...- He said without any emotion whatsoever. Denki was lying on his bed looking at the ceiling.

Kirishima: What's wrong bro? You said you needed to talk.

Kaminari: Yeah...Take a seat, there is much I must say.

Kaminari proceeded to spill all the information, and we are talking about ALL of it. Ever since Jirou asked him to help her with her training, the nightmares, the cuddling at night, the "incident about Jirou's wet dream", the "almost kiss" the day before, and what just happened half an hour ago in her room (Kirishima already knew about their fight and the incident with the other girl). This left the redhead guy stunned.

Kirishima: Damn bro, I didn't knew that, why didn't you tell us from the beginning?

Kaminari: I...*sigh* I wasn't ready okay, these have been a couple of crazy weeks with Jirou and now things are gonna get weird between us.- The frustration on Denki's face was noticeable.

Kirishima: But, why just me then? Why just tell me this and not the others? We are your friends dude.

Kaminari: *sigh* I know...It's just...you are my best friend Kirishima, and I knew I could count on you.

Kirishima: What about Sero?

Kaminari: He wouldn't take this as seriously as you do.

Kirishima: Mina?

Kaminari: I mean, she could help me yeah. But after saying she would help me with Jirou. Idk, I didn't want to disappoint her.

Kirishima: And Bakugo?

Kaminari:...

Kirishima:...

They both looked at each other in silence. Then Kirishima realized the content of his question.

Kirishima: Sorry...

Kaminari: Nevermind bro.

Kirishima: So, what are you going to do?

Kaminari: What do you mean? There is nothing I can do, but keep my distance and pretend nothing ever happened. I don't want to ruin my friendship with Jirou just because of my stupid feelings.

Kirishima: Don't be so harsh with yourself Kaminari. I think you might be overreacting a little. I mean, is just a song, you are looking too much into it in my opinion.- He said reaching his left arm over Kaminari's right shoulder, trying to comfort him from the desk chair he was sitting in.

Kaminari: You weren't there bro, I know when Jirou sings with passion. I know when she is telling the truth through music...She doesn't want to fall in love. There is nothing I can do.- Denki said lowering his face so Kirishima could not see him cry.
