Struck by Love

So Close

*Kaminari's POV*

"I think I'm going to go check on her." I said.

The boys nodded and decided to continue playing, while I made my way to Saki's room.

I knocked softly.

"Go away Kat."

"It's Kaminari."

"....Come in."

I opened the door and walked in, shutting it behind me.

"Lock it. I don't want those extras barging in."

I did as she said and looked over to her bed: she was laying face down, her head shoved in her pillow.

I sat at the foot of her bed, "Hey, please don't be mad..."

She sat up, "I'm not mad, I'm just...upset. My own brother wouldn't tell me he's gay. But he told you?"

"I don't know what to say. Why did he say he knew what you'd do if you found out?"

She sighed, "He thinks I would've ran straight to Deku and told him. I think he mainly didn't want him to know."

"Because he has a crush on him?"

She stared at me, "Did he tell you that too?"

"N-no! Not directly. I kinda questioned him on if he liked anybody and he exploded when I asked if it was Midoriya. So I just assumed."

"I knew that idiot liked him!"

"Wait. So you knew he was gay?" I was shocked.

"He's my brother. I could tell." She sighed and leaned against the wall, "I just wanted him to tell me himself. I wouldn't have said anything unless he wanted me to."

I scooted back to sit beside her, "He wasn't trying to hurt you. You know how he is better than anyone."

"I know. I shouldn't be upset, but I can't help it."

She laid her head on my shoulder, "I just want him to be happy, he deserves it. And Deku likes him! It would be so easy for them."

'I just want her to be happy. She deserves it.'

'I just want him to be happy. He deserves it.'

It was the same thing Bakugo said to me about her.

They really are one in the same, "Maybe he's just waiting for the right time?" I suggested.

"I think he's scared. He's not good with feelings."

'I think that would scare her.' Todoroki's voice popped in my head.

I chuckled, her and Bakugo are so alike.

"What's so funny?" She looked up at me with her big red eyes.

I ruffled her hair, "Nothing princess, just remembered something funny Todoroki said."

She blushed and looked away, "Todoroki and funny aren't meant to be in the same sentence."

I laughed, "You're so cute when you're embarrassed."

She shoved me away, "Sh-shut up Sparky. I'm not embarrassed."

"Oh really?" I smirked and gently grabbed her chin, making her face me once again, "Then why are your cheeks so red, princess?"

Her blush deepened and she looked away, "Stop that..."

I leaned down, "Stop what?"

"C-calling me that." She stuttered, still looking away.
