Admiring From Afar (BkDk)

13 - 'Truth Is'

"You weren't love, but I think I confused it
I see it like I always knew it
And it was ruthless in cold blood
Still you believe there's no wound and no grudge"

Third Person POV
"You guys are dating? Already?" Kirishima asked his friend awkwardly.

"What do you mean already?" Denki argued.

"You've only been on three dates with her and it's only the second week of school." Mina looked at her friend with a face of concern.

"Don't you think you're moving too fast?" Jirou chimed in.

"Not at all." Kaminari said with a frown at his friends as he crossed his arms.

"Plus, we've only known each other two weeks as well." He said as they all looked at him.

"I guess you're right." Kiri said with a sigh.

"Anyway, I'm meeting up with her right now." Denki said with a bright smile.

"What about our sleepover tonight at Kirishima's house?" Mina asked.

"I was wondering if she could come too, please." The blond begged his friends.

"Fine." Kiri said as his friend smiled and thanked him. Denki then ran off to find his girlfriend.

"Have fun." Mina called out to her friend as he left the room.

...

"Hey Denki!" Aku greeted her boyfriend with a smile.

"Hi Aku." He smiled back as she gave him a soft peck on the cheek.

"You ready to go shopping?" She asked happily.

"I thought we were going to a movie?" Denki said with a small frown.

"I really just feel like shopping today, I had a really bad weekend. Kat was being mean to me the whole time." The brunette complained as she hugged the blond tightly. Tears starting falling from her eyes as Denki didn't know what to say.

"He's just always like that, isn't he?" Kaminari said trying to defend his friend.

"B-But he...he hits me." She sobbed out. As her boyfriend felt guilt overwhelm him.

"You guys are siblings though, isn't that normal?" He asked trying to deescalate the situation without hurting her feelings.

"Why don't you believe me!" Aku yelled as she pushed him off of her.

"Wh-What?" Denki asked in a confused tone of voice.

"You're arguing with me about this because he's your friend, right?" The blond grew more tense at that comment.

"So what? He is my friend and—" Denki started to talk but was soon cut off by protesting screams. "And I'm your girlfriend!!" He gulped loudly, now embarrassed at the scene she was making.

"Who do you care about more: me...or your friends." Aku asked as she crossed her arms with a disappointed look on her face.

"I-I...you." He stuttered out. She half smiled at him as she hugged him again.

"I love you Denki." She whispered into his ear. His mouth parted but nothing escaped. Kaminari took a deep breath before he responded to his girlfriend.

"...I love you too." He said with a hesitant smile as she wiped her tears.

After several minutes of silence between the couple, the electric boy decided to speak up.

"So, are we still going shopping?" He asked softly. Aku smiled and nodded at her boyfriend. They walked hand in hand to the mall which was only a couple blocks away from them.
