Best Friends or lovers?

Todoroki Shoto and Kaminari Denki had been best friends since their first year at U.A. High School. Their friendship had started off slowly, built on shared classes, training sessions, and late-night study sessions in the common room. Todoroki admired Kaminari's easygoing nature and infectious sense of humor, while Kaminari appreciated Todoroki's calm demeanor and unwavering determination.

Over the years, their bond deepened as they faced challenges together—villain attacks, tough exams, and the pressures of hero training. They became each other's confidants, sharing dreams, fears, and aspirations that they couldn't express to anyone else.

It was during their third year, amidst the intensity of preparing for their provisional hero licenses, that Todoroki began to notice a shift in his feelings towards Kaminari. What had once been admiration and friendship had bloomed into something deeper—a warmth in his chest whenever Kaminari smiled, a flutter of excitement whenever they were paired together for training exercises.

But Todoroki was hesitant to acknowledge his feelings, unsure of how Kaminari would react and afraid of jeopardizing their friendship. He buried his emotions beneath a facade of stoicism, silently longing for a future where he could be honest with himself and with Kaminari.

Meanwhile, Kaminari was navigating his own uncertainties. He had always cherished his friendship with Todoroki, finding comfort in their shared moments of laughter and understanding. Yet, as their final year approached and graduation loomed on the horizon, Kaminari couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing—a nagging thought that whispered of unspoken words and untold truths.

One crisp autumn evening, as they walked together through the campus courtyard under a canopy of golden leaves, Todoroki found himself unable to hold back any longer. The air crackled with the quiet hum of their footsteps, the familiar weight of unspoken words hanging between them like a veil.

"Kaminari," Todoroki began tentatively, his voice breaking the silence that had settled around them. "There's something I need to tell you."

Kaminari turned to him, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern. "What is it, Shoto?" he asked gently, his eyes searching Todoroki's face for answers.

Todoroki took a deep breath, steeling himself against the rush of emotions threatening to overwhelm him. "I... I've realized something," he confessed quietly, his gaze unwavering as he met Kaminari's eyes. "I've developed feelings for you, Kaminari. More than just friendship."

Silence stretched between them, the weight of Todoroki's confession hanging heavy in the air. Kaminari blinked, surprise flickering across his features before a soft smile spread across his face.

"Shoto," Kaminari murmured, his voice filled with warmth and affection. "I... I think I feel the same way."

Relief flooded through Todoroki's veins, his heart pounding with a mix of joy and disbelief. "You do?" he asked, unable to suppress the hope in his voice.

Kaminari nodded, a gentle laugh escaping his lips. "Yeah," he replied softly, his eyes sparkling with unspoken promises. "I've been trying to figure out how to tell you too."

And in that moment, beneath the autumn sky and the gentle rustle of leaves, Todoroki and Kaminari embraced—a silent affirmation of their newfound love and the courage it took to finally acknowledge it.

Their relationship blossomed with a tenderness and understanding that surpassed their wildest dreams. They navigated the challenges of hero training together, supported each other through moments of doubt and triumph, and carved out precious moments of intimacy amidst the chaos of their hectic lives.
