★My Little Lightning Boy★ [ Kirikami ]

Chapter 5 - Is Something Wrong?

Kirishima's P.o.V.

Is something wrong?

We had just gotten back from the trip to the city and we were currently in my dorm room, just hanging out as Mina had wanted to do.

"Dude, are you alright?? Is something wrong??. . ." Ashido's voice trailed off, and I suddenly snapped back to attention, my eyes widening in surprise as I did so. "-hellooooooo!! I asked you a question!!! Eijirouuuuuuu!!" Her voice went on and on until she was sure I was paying attention once again. "did you hear my question??"

"I'm sorry, what was it again??Spaced out a bit. . . "

"ugh. . .I was asking. . "The pink haired girl cleared her throat and looked me directly in the eyes. "Do you. or Do you not. Like Denki Kaminari?" She asked, tilting her head to one side. I could feel my face heat up at the question, and I could tell I was going to sound extremely flustered when I answered her.

"w. . .well uhm. . .I mean. . . yeah I like him. . .but he. . . he's my best bro!" I said, scratching my neck. This answer was different from the last one I gave the female student. She'd only ever asked me twice, and the first time. . . Why was I as flustered as I was by the question now?? Ashido raised an eyebrow at me.

"oh?? Is that so. . . .because last time I asked. . . you weren't as embarrassed by me asking you. . ." She smirked mischievously. I huffed and threw my pillow at her face. She yelped in surprise, then started to laugh about it, tossing the pillow back at me. I caught it and set it back down. "Seriously though!!"

"Mina I'm. . . I'm not. . . .not in love with my best friend!" I said anxiously, frowning at the question. My cheeks were still heated up and red as I looked over at the other student. She sat across the room, sitting in the chair I kept at my desk.

"oh reaallyy. . . ." Mina laughed.

"we're just friends!!"

Her expression suddenly got serious. Uh oh. . .

"Kirishima. I have seen you almost snap your neck around one hundred eighty degrees after that boy laughed just to see what exactly he was laughing at." Her eyes narrowed. She was right, I couldn't deny that for sure. I was silent for a bit so I could think about it. 

After a while of silence, Mina left to go back to her own dorm, allowing me to think on my own for a while, without feeling stared down for every second of the thought. . . And that when it hit me.

I was in love with Denki Kaminari

Kaminari's P.o.V.

It had been almost a week since the call. Me and Eijirou had started talking to eachother again. Though in most cases, not directly. Things were always awkward when we did talk anyways. But eventually I felt that I needed to say something. Today was that day.

I was going to say something to get us back on speaking terms. I wanted things to go back to normal.

I just. . . . didn't know what to say yet.

It had been hours of a sleepless night before I finally thought of something. I took my phone off my nightstand and unplugged it, turning it on. I logged into my phone, then scrolled through my apps until I saw the one labeled 'Messages'. I clicked on it's blue icon and scrolled through the conversations until I saw the one labeled with Kirishima's face. I smiled at his toothy grin and happy face, then sighed. I clicked on the conversation and started to type. It had been over a week since we had texted.

Kirishima's P.o.V.

Okay. . . . so the plan was for me to meet Kaminari by the trees outside of the dorm building. That. . .sounded fine to me. I checked my clock quickly to see what time I had woken up at.

8:00 AM

The device read. I had two hours to get ready before I went to talk with Denki about. . . .whatever he wanted to talk to me about.

God it had my stomach all twisted up, I was worrying. Had I done something wrong? Was he mad at me?? Oh lord. . . .

What if he wants to tell you that he likes someone else? You are his bro after all. Or. . . .you were. . .

I sighed and headed over to my dresser, getting out of my pajamas and looking into the first two drawers. After a bit of rummaging, I found a red flannel, black tee shirt, and a pair of ripped up black jeans. I looked at the outfit and nodded slightly as I looked at myself in the mirror I had recently hung up on my wall.

"Looks great!" I said happily, smiling at my reflection for a moment before frowning. "Maybe it isn't good enough. . . Is it too casual?? AHHHhhhHh!!-" I was cut off as I heard my phone go off. I looked over at my bed and soon walked over to see I had gotten a text message from Mina.

I sighed and sat down on my bed, setting an alarm for five minutes before 10 so I could get outside. I ended up watching Netflix while I waited for my alarm to go off.

When the time for my alarm played I took a deep breath and swiped it away, turning it off along with my computer. I stood up and then put my phone into the pocket of the black tipped jeans I had chosen to wear, soon enough heading outside.

When I looked over at the trees, there was Kaminari. So I walked over to him and smiled.

"Hey! What'd you want to talk about??" I chirped, smiling over at my friend calmly, trying to keep all my worry and anxiety about this conversation into a bottle for now.

"Well uhm. . . Whenever we've interacted with eachother after I uhm . . .called you. . . .it's been kind awkward. . . .and honestly I wish I could take back everything I told you over the phone so we could just. . . .have a normal friendship again. . . . y'know??" The blonde sighed softly, shaking his head and frowning a bit.

"Oh uhm. . . .yeah sure. . . .sorry if. . . .if things seemed awkward. . . ."I responded slowly,  frowning a bit as I spoke. "What do you have in mind to stop it from being awkward??" I asked the blonde.

"Well uhm. . . .I haven exactly figured that part out yet. . . .but. . . .but I'm sure we can work on it, and I just don't want things to be awkward. . . .that's it. . . .maybe we could just. . . .h. .hang out some time soon? Just the two of us??" The shorter student offered.

"Yeah. . . .that sounds great. . . I can text you details of when I'm available later if that's okay??" I asked. He nodded in response, and I smiled over at him.

"Alright. . . I have a bit of work to do really quickly. . . I'll talk to you later then Kami!!" I smiled happily at the golden blonde student, gazing into his lemon yellow eyes for a moment before adjusting my shirt and soon turning to head back to the dorms so I could finish up my 'work'. I needed to finish the last episode of my show.
