Electric Love {Kaminari Denki x Reader}

Chapter Twenty: Hero Too

"Woo! I can't sleep!" Denki shouts, his arms shooting into the air.

Mineta copies the blond's actions. However, his eyes have large bags under them, showing just how exhausted he actually is. "Yeah, right? I'm stupid excited!"

The two boys begin to run in circles around the common area, trying to burn off steam. They have their hands still raised in the air, looking like a pair of dorks.

"Not so loud! People are sleeping upstairs," Mina scolds them.

"Let them get their energy out. Otherwise, the two will be up all night," I chuckle, my eyes following my hyperactive boyfriend. I know I'm going to end up having to coax him to bed later if he doesn't get his energy out now. I'm laying on the second couch next to Kirishima, who is sitting at the other end, with my feet propped up on his thigh.

Iida doesn't even attempt to stop them. "I just hope the audience will be that enthusiastic."

"It's probably better if we don't think about it very much," Jiro starts, a nervous look on her face. She holds her hands against her chest. "Being embarrassed. Worrying what others are thinking. That'll kill our vibe. We should focus on having fun. That's what really matters."

"Yeah, says the girl who was super scared to front the band!" Denki teases, pointing at Jiro with both hands.

Jiro blushes, waving the boy off. "Shut up. That was a totally different situation."

Denki just grins, his hands folded behind his head.

Izuku speaks up from a table he is sitting at with Aoyama, checking over the harness and ropes for tomorrow's performance. "What Jiro said is good advice for more than just the performance."

Aoyama adds, "Oui. When you try to make others feel good, you end up raising your own spirits, too."

"Exactly." Izuku suddenly gasps, catching my attention.

"Something wrong, Zuzu?"

Izuku holds up the rope for me to see. "This rope is so frayed."

"Mon dieu! We put it through some abuse during practice. It's physical proof of our blossoming friendship!" Aoyama grins, basically sparkling.

I chuckle at Aoyama. "I'm very happy about your 'blossoming friendship', but that's dangerous."

Izuku nods in agreement. "I should have noticed this before."

"Yaoyorozu will make you a new one. And some tea," Denki says, his voice an octave higher than normal.

Mina shakes her head, unimpressed. "Yaomomo is in bed already. And don't treat her like your own personal factory."

Denki deadpan, his face full of annoyance. "But people use me as a phone charger on the regular."

"That's cause men get no respect," Mineta states, equally annoyed.

Izuku shakes his head. "Nah. I'll go buy a new one in the morning. It's my fault for not noticing. And this'll work out. I'm up early for training anyway."

"Okay, but the performance is at 10 tomorrow. And most places don't open till 9," Denki states.

I feel a hand tap my ankle, making my head whip towards the source. Kirishima is smiling at me, looking almost nervous about something.

"What's up, Kiri?" I give him a smile in return.

A small blush tints the redheads cheeks as he scratches the back of his neck. "I was wondering if maybe tomorrow after the performance you'd like to hang out?"
