TRIGGER WARNING:
Suicide attempt!!



   It was late at night and Sero just couldn't sleep. Thoughts of his best friend kept swarming his mind as he stared up at the ceiling.

That day at school Kaminari looked miserable and almost made Sero breakdown himself and want to hug him all day.

'Maybe I should go check on him..'

He pushed himself into a sitting position and remembered it was almost two in the morning.

But the dark circles around Kaminari's eyes gave Sero the thought that just maybe he would be awake.

So with that Sero stepped out of his room carefully, hoping not to wake anyone up.

Once he made it to Kaminari's door he knocked lightly and waited.

No response.

He let out a sigh and knocked again, a bit harder.

He didn't get a response, but when he knocked the door slightly opened.

He stared for a moment before pushing it further.

Kaminari wasn't laying in his bed or sitting on it, in fact he wasn't in the room at all.

He was out on the balcony.

Glass door open.

Feet on the ledge.

And eyes looking down at disaster.

Sero acted without a second thought.

He dashed across the room as he saw Kaminari lift one foot over the ledge.

"DENKI!" He screamed out.

He bent his arm, shooting out tape and making it wrap around Kaminari's waist.

He yanked him back and caught him as he fell back.

He stumbled, but caught himself.

He kept Kaminari wrapped in his arms as the blonde's legs curled around his waist.

It was silent for a while.

Sero needed time to take this all in.

He almost lost his best friend.

The love of his life.

"Sero, I..." Kaminari's voice was shaky.

Sero walked slowly back into the room, shutting the balcony door behind him.

Sero was speechless as he sat down on Kaminari's bed, still holding him close.

"I'm sorry.." Kaminari whispered and clenched onto Sero's shirt. "I'm so sorry... I don't know why I did that, Oh my God, Sero.. I'm so sorry.. Please don't tell-" He gently pulled away from the hug and stared at the tears that flowed uncontrollably out of Sero's eyes. "S-Sero!"

Before Sero could reach up and wipe his tears Kaminari started to do it for him. "Hey, I-I'm okay.. I'm here, stop crying man.."

"Dammit Kami..." Sero was trembling like a Chihuahua and crying like a baby who wanted it's mother. "I-If I was a few seconds too late.. O-Or didn't come to check on you.. You would've.. I would've lost you.." He sobbed and shut his eyes.

Kaminari felt bad for ever doing something so stupid.

If this is how Sero reacted when he attempted, he could only imagine how he would've been if he actually had died that night.

"Kamin-"

"You called me Denki earlier.."

It was silent for a moment.

Sero had a soft blush across his cheeks. "Sorry about that, It just kinda sli-"

"I like the way it sounded when you said it." Kaminari interrupted.

Sero blinked. "What?" He breathed out.

"Call me Denki? We're close right? I don't know why I haven't gave you permission earlier."

Sero nodded. "Denki.. Why on earth would you try to do something so stupid?!"

"Um well.."

"You've been acting differently this entire week.."

"I don't know.. I've just been doubting myself recently.. I mean.. Look at me... How could a guy like me become a hero? How could I ever be loved by someone like you? How could I ever make anyone happy?"

Sero stared.

He was shocked.

'How could I ever be loved by someone like you?'

It echoed in his head.

"Denki, what-"

"I'm so fucking worthless." Kaminari began wiping his own tears. "I can't do anything right."

Sero shook his head. "That's not true."

"I'm just wasting everyones time!"

"Denki."

"Someone else could have my place in 1-A, someone who's worth it!"

"Denki."

"You deserve a good best friend."

"Listen to me."

"I'm broken.. I'm so fucking broken."

"I'm in love with you."

"I'm a mess and-" Denki's eyes widened. "You what?"

"You're amazing. You're hilarious, you're a kind dork, you're adorable as hell, you put everyone before yourself. And you're in class 1-A because when the pro heroes looked at you they saw a hero." Sero paused. "They saw you, Denki."

Kaminari's lip began to quiver and soon he let out a sob.

Sero wiped his tears and pulled him back into an embrace.

Denki cried onto his shoulder holding him tight.

A few minutes passed before his tears stopped.

They sat in silence as Sero rubbed circles onto Kaminari's back.

Kaminari broke the silence. "Why are you always so nice to me..?"

"You deserve to be treated right."

"Do you really mean what you say..?" He paused for a moment. "Do you love me, Sero?"

Sero felt his face heat up. "I meant everything I said Denki, and Hanta.. Um call me Han-"

Denki quickly pulled back from the hug and grabbed the sides of Sero's face, quickly pulling him in and slamming their lips together.

Sero sat there shocked.

It took him a moment before his tense body relaxed and he closed his eyes, melting into the kiss.

The kiss lasted for a while, neither of them wanted to pull away, but they did.

Kaminari stared at Sero with a tear stained face, but a smile.

He was smiling.

Sero missed that one smile so much.

Kaminari leaned in and rested his forehead against Sero's, gently closing his eyes. "You really are a great hero, Cellophane."

Sero blushed and smiled.

He laid back and kept Kaminari in his arms.

"How am I ever gonna pay you back?" Kaminari sighed out.

"Just don't get snot on my shirt and we'll be all good."

They both laughed softly.


A great hero.

Cellophane.
