Smile [Mostly Kamisero]

11) Oof

Kaminari's POV

I am kissing my best friend, and he's kissing back! I should be happy about this, but I have no idea why I just kissed him out of nowhere! What is wrong with me?

I immediately began to get flustered and try to push Sero away from me but he didn't budge. One of his arms was around my waist, pulling me close. I had no idea when he had put it around me. But for some reason I felt safe. I felt no one could touch us but boy was I going to be so wrong, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but now I just had this gut feeling something will go wrong some day.

While I was in deep thought, I felt Sero pull away which made me kind of sad he had.

Sero cleared his throat and spoke, "I am absolutely sorry Kaminari. I got too caught up in that moment."

To be honest, if he had gone further, I wouldn't have minded either. "It's fine. I'm the one who started it anyway. I should be the one who is sorry."

"No, I should still be sorry."

"Why?" I asked.

"No reason." He looked away. "A-anyway, we should probably go. We don't want to be here when others come." I nodded and we walked out of this area. We walked in silence until I asked, "Hey Sero, do you want to go to the cafe I see over there?" I pointed to wherever the cafe was in this story.

"Sure. I don't see why not." We both headed to the cafe, sat down, then silence, again. I hate this awkward silence.

I spoke up. "So Sero, um since you really don't need to talk about yourself, I'll talk about myself. Is that alright with you?" He just nodded and I continued. "Ok, so a little bit about me then." I took a deep breath before continuing, "So before I met you, I had a pretty normal life. I can use a skateboard for one thing, I had a lot of friends but they didn't end up going to U.A. and I'm not in touch with them as much. But good thing I met other great people who became my new friends." I said and Sero smiled at me but his eyes showed me sadness. "Yea, I had a pretty average childhood. That's really all you need to know about me."

"Wow. I wish I had a childhood like you. At least you were happy back then." He smiled.

"Yea, it was pretty normal but I had fun. Sero can I ask you a question?"

"Ask away."

"Where are the cigarette burns? Of course, you don't have to tell me if you want to."

"No, it's alright. I have one on the back of my neck but it's barely visible because it's healed. There are multiple on my hands, the inside of it. Sometimes they would do it in the same spot of my hand, even though it wasn't healed. There are some on my back, but you can't see them anymore of course. That's all, if there were more, I don't remember because there was worse things that had happened to me." I saw him start to shake.

"Are you ok Sero?" I asked worried for him.

"Yea, I'm fine. I'm over that. It was in the past." He said.

"Are you sure? I mean, you are shaking." He looked at me like I was crazy. He looked down to see that he was.

"This isn't due to my past though. I should've listened to Shu." He got up and still shaking, made his way out the door with me behind.

"What do you mean?" I very confusedly asked.

"Basically because he hates me, he used the most power of his quirk, on me." He explained.

Immediately worried for what that means, I ask, "That means what?"

"It means that there can be some damage internally, or..." He mumbled the last part.
