So A Cat And A Lightning Bolt Walk Into A Bar...

Part 2

"Are you sure the fans are on?" Tanaka called from his place on the floor, limbs splayed out.

"Every. Single. One. I'm dying right now, bro," Noya said from his position, sticking his head in the freezer to cool down. It was an unusually hot day, especially for the time of year.

It had been a few weeks since Noya and the 'lightning incident' as his two roommates call it. Surprisingly, there were no signs that it ever happened, not even a trace. They even went to a doctor to get him checked out, and nothing had changed. It was odd indeed but the doctor passed it off as a miracle. Noya honestly didn't know whether to believe him or not, but he went with it anyways. He had moved on, but a few of his friends, mostly Sugawara, were still concerned.

"Is there anything else we can do? I will end up passing out," Tanaka complained, while flipping over so he was lying face down.

"If there was, we would have done it by now. I wish it would snow," Noya said, closing the freezer to go take a place near Tanaka.

"Move. I can smell your sweat," Tanaka said and scooted a little farther away, face still on the ground.

"You don't exactly smell like flowers either." Tanaka let out an over dramatized sound of hurt, to which Noya just rolled his eyes and grabbed the remote for the television.

"It is the hottest day of the year so far and is only on the rise for the rest of the week," Noya and Tanaka groaned in defeat as the announcer continued, "Now continuing on, another bank was robbed. Many sources say it was an inside job but the culprit could not be identified."

"Noya, we could really use that snow you were talking about earlier. Hey, want anything while I'm up?" Tanaka asked rising to his feet.

"Anything cold," Noya replied, staring intently at the news.

"You know, I never knew why you liked the news so much, I still don't," Tanaka commented while opening the freezer to grab two popsicles. He walked back over and handed one to Noya.

"I don't know. I just find it interesting to know what's going on," Noya shrugged.

"But you seem to get really intense when they say anything about crime." Noya just hummed in agreement, not really knowing what to say.

"Oh my god, I wish I could like, control the weather right now. Don't you wish that too, Noya, good old friend of mine?" Tanaka said grinning at Noya.

"Yeah? I guess?" Noya replied in a questioning tone.

"It could be very useful right now," Tanaka continued.

"Tanaka, bro, is there something you want to tell me?" Noya asked sitting up, raising an eyebrow in the direction of the person in question.

"What? No. There is nothing I want to tell you. Also off topic but, what is your favorite type of weather?" Tanaka asked while staring at Noya intently.

"I'm being serious, what do you have to tell me? If you do not tell the truth I will hug you, with my sweaty body, and I am willing to suffer that. So fess up," Noya said standing up, getting ready to lunge.

"Okay fine! I surrender! Just don't touch me, it's too hot," Tanaka groaned while moving to sit up. He inhaled deeply before continuing, "You see, Chikara can tell the future and told me that he saw that you can now control the weather. When you got struck by lightning - which he also told me about, and why I was able to get there on time - you got some powers or something."

"Okay, none of that made sense and you went too fast," Noya said, still looking at the other with a questioning look.

"Okay so, you know superheroes and stuff? Well, Chikara and I have those types of powers, and now you do too," Tanaka said with an absolute serious expression. Noya couldn't stop the laugh that soon got a little out of control.

"You almost had me! Good one, bro!" Noya said, his laughing still had not subsided. Tanaka still had the same expression on his face, wide eyes looking to the side, mouth shut tight. After a few minutes Noya got the hint, "Wait, are you actually serious?"

"Please don't tell Chikara I told you! He will be-" Tanaka was interrupted by the door opening.

"I already knew you told him, but I seriously wish you told him in a more 'delicate' way instead of, I don't know, throwing him in head first into something he has no idea about," Ennoshita said, walking through the doorway and taking off his shoes.

"Wait, is this why you two have been acting so weird lately?" Noya asked looking between his two friends.

"We didn't know when would be a good idea to tell you, guess there's no time like the present," Ennoshita sighed sitting on the couch before continuing on. He was able to give a much clearer explanation of everything than Tanaka had. Apparently the lightning had done something to body and caused there to be a slight mutation which had given him abilities. It was quite confusing how this all worked and was a lot to take in.

"Do you know how this happens?" Noya asked, glancing between the couple.

"Honestly? No. To Ryuu and I, it happened naturally at birth, but you on the other hand, was by coincidence," Ennoshita explained. The three sat there in silence for a few moments, with Noya obviously taking in the info.

"Hey, I'm going to go for a walk, then I have work after, see you guys later," Noya said with a large smile before standing up and walking towards the door. His two roommates nodded in response before he left, concern covering their faces.

Outside the apartment building, it was still hot. There were quite a few people going on with their daily lives.

'I wonder how many of them just got a shit load of information dropped on them out of nowhere. Maybe they also have powers and either don't know or don't tell.' Noya thought, kicking the rock in front of him.

Looking up from the rock, Noya saw a person walking down the sidewalk, looking at their phone. He appeared to have light brown hair and looked only to be a few centimeters taller than Noya himself. Suddenly, they tripped over the uneven sidewalk, Noya's body reacted on it's own and he rushed forward. He grabbed the person's wrist with one hand and their waist with the other, dipping them. The two looked at each other for a second, both shocked at what just happened. Just as Noya was about to say something, he lost his grip and dropped the person.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry," Noya exclaimed, reaching a hand out for the person to take. They looked up at him and scanned Noya before taking his hand. Just as the other was almost pulled up, Noya dropped him, again.

"Sorry!" Noya shouted, reaching his hand out again but was stopped. The person on the ground was holding a hand up to stop him, obviously exasperated. They stood up on their own before staring Noya down.

"I'm Nishinoya Yuu, and I am so sorry about that," he said, reaching his hand out again, but this time to shake the other's hand.

"Yaku Morisuke, and I must be on my way," the taller boy said with an expression that was confusion with a very slight displeasure to it. And with that, Yaku turned and went on his way.
