Fingerprints ~ KamiBaku

Brainstorming

Kaminaris POV ~

We got to his room and set our bags down. I sit on his bed and wait for him to sit next to me. He walks to his desk and takes his hearing aids out. Shit. I know like three words in JSL. (Japanese sign language)

"Are you good?" Bakugo said, then sits next to me, a few inches from me.
'Yes.'  I sign then think for a second trying to remember our JSL lessons from Momo and Iida.

They thought it would be nice for us to know it so when he can't hear, we can communicate. I've been to every lesson, but it was hard for me to remember most words.

'I don't remember. A lot. Of words in signing,' I slowly sign, some words I spell out and make up. 'Can you. Read lips?' I try and ask.

"Yeah. It's the first thing I learned." Thank God. I need more practice. Maybe he can help.
"Oh. Good then." I say. I know he's just reading my lips. But it also feels like he's staring. Like he wants to kiss me. Not that I'd stop him, but it can't happen. We don't make sense together. Even if we both have feelings for each other. I can see myself getting hurt. Or me hurting him.

"Do you have any ideas." He said, braking my thoughts.
"No. Do you?"
"A few basic ones. Volcano. But that's too basic."

I think for a moment, take my phone out and search for rare cool science experiments. A few popped up. Measure algae growth. Examine the connection between personality and memory. Cast animal tracks. But the one that coout my eye was Conduct fingerprint analysis. I copy and pasted to see a better definition.

Bakugos POV ~

We got to my room, and I put my bag down. He does the same and sits on my bed. I walk to my desk and put my hearing aids on my charger. I sit next to him, leaving a few inches between us.

He looks concerned, so I ask.
"Are you good?"
'Yes.' He signed. The stops and thinks. His face is super cute when he's thinking.
'I don't remember. A lot. Of words in sighing. Can you read lips?' He asked in sign language. Well, sorta. He made up half the words and spelled most of them. Wrong, I might add, but I understood him.

"Yeah. It's the first thing I learned."
"Oh. Good then." He said out loud.

I looked at his lips for a second. They looked red and soft. I really wanted to kiss him. But I stopped myself and asked if he had any ideas for the fair. He said no and took his phone out. I waited for him to say something.

He finally looks up and turns to me.

"I found something that might be cool. Fingerprint analysis. I thought we could go around the dorm and find prints and have the whole class give us their prints, and we can see if we can tell who's who." He said fastly. "Oh shit. Did you get all that?" He asked.

I nod and smile. It wasn't a bad idea. It was kinda cool. And it's something that could be useful as future heroes.

"I like the idea." I say. Then he smiles and puts his phone down. He sighs and flops on my bed.

Kaminaris POV ~

There I am lying on Bakugos' bed, and I'm not even that close to him. My whole body is telling me to kiss him. Stop using excuses to not kiss him. He likes you back! I can't risk it. We're too different. It just wouldn't work.

But then again, it wouldn't hurt to try. But then again, it might hurt so badly because this feeling isn't just a tiny crush. This is love. And if I lose him. It would hurt every fiber of my being.

I could try. Try and make it work. But I can't stop thinking of every scenario.

We date. And it's grate. But I messed it up somehow. Or the other way around. We date, and he learns that he actually hates me. Or the other way around.

Maybe I should ask him. But maybe he's thinking the same things as me. That there's no way it works. Which hurts just as much as the thought of losing him. So now. It's just a circle. I want to date him. I want to be able to love him. But then I remember we don't fit.

I couldn't stay in here much longer. I grab my bag and leave without saying anything. Which was an asshole move. But I couldn't be here anymore. It hurt too much.
