Electric days (Shinsou x Kaminari)

Just stop

Kaminari
As much as I love school I don't, lessons were so boring unless they were practicals but that's what we had to deal with if we want to be hero's.
Though I don't understand why maths is important because saving people doesn't really involve that, actually now I think about it sometimes it does.
I may look dumb and act like an idiot but in actuality I am quite smart, not that I let anyone else know.

It's easier to be the dumb loveable idiot than the strict smart rule maker, and anyway Iida's got that role covered.
Aizawa was sleeping again so the class was left to chat since we didn't have any work to do, I was so bored I'd resorted to staring out windows, and my thoughts wouldn't stop going back to what I'd witnessed yesterday.

I'd seen Shinsou leave my cousins but something didn't look right, when I asked they'd insisted he was fine and had left to go grab a few snacks.
Now I love my cousins but I know when they're lying, and they were definitely lying.
I'd then rushed after him and was just in time to see him enter the shed, I know that they don't keep any food in there so he definitely was not getting snacks.

It was harder than I'd thought to reach the shed as people kept stopping me to talk, it got to the point where I started to ignore people and brushed past them.
I hate these events so much, fake smiles, fake interests, fake concern. All this is for is to check up on everyone so that people can assure themselves they are still better than others.

I opened the door and found my friend huddled into the corner, knees drawn to his chest and head down, shoulders shaking as he quietly sobbed into his jeans.
I don't even think he'd heard me come in, tentatively I made my way over sat beside him and gently pulled him to my chest. He didn't protest nor did he say anything, he just balled my shirt in his fist as warm tears seeped into the soft material.

Since then we hadn't talked or seen each other, I don't know what my cousins did but it must have been bad.
Thinking back on it maybe inviting him to that party wasn't the best idea, I've heard what other people say about him then I heard what they said about him, maybe he did too.
I just didn't expect my own family to be so conceited.

I was pulled from my memories when I noticed Shinsou walking in the plaza, his usual stoic face was crumbling slightly.
As he passed some whispering students it was almost like they'd physically attacked him as he flinched away, his expression switching slightly before settling back to a strained stoicism.

That's it I can't take it anymore, I can't just sit back and watch him go through this alone, I had to find out what's wrong otherwise the slow squeezing in my chest would never go away.

My chair screeched back before crashing to the floor from the speed I'd stood up at, I sped out the classroom in the direction I'd seen Shinsou last go.
Several questioning stares followed me as well as a tired Aizawa's muttered "where are you going," evidently he didn't deem it worth the trouble of getting up for as he didn't come after me.

I ran for a short time before finally finding him walking towards the gates, he was trying so hard to keep a straight face but I could see the emotions slipping through.

"Shinsou wait" he didn't stop in fact he walked faster
"We need to talk, clearly you're not ok" I called after him as I sped up.
"No I don't need to talk, I just need time alone"
"Bullshit!" He paused for a second before carrying on past the gates and into the forest.
"Just go back Kaminari" I could hear the wavering tones in his voice as he tried to keep it steady
"If you think I'm leaving you now then forget it, I told you before and I'll tell you now I'm not going anywhere."

"Is this because of what people say about you, because I can help you with that" I pleaded, as I was running out of ideas of how to reach out to him.
"No it's not,I can deal with them, well actually it is but it's only part of it, wait no for God's sake It's not, uh it's complicated."
"Then stop running away and tell me" I shouted as he kept walking faster through the trees.

"I can't" he sounded desperate "I can't tell you because you'll leave." He finally stopped and turned to me tears streaming down his face, I'd never seen him so vulnerable, every emotion was written plainly on his face; fear, sadness, anxiety, distress, anger all mixed into one.

"I can deal with the gossiping, the hateful comments, the people who avoid me. I can deal with being told my quirk is villainous and that I shouldn't be a hero. I can deal with those who fear me for what I can do, and I used to be able to deal with being alone." He paused as he frustratedly pulled at his hair

"But now I finally have you, I don't want to loose you. All that time I'd kept my distance because of I got close it would be bad for you, I watched as you smiled and got stronger besides your friends. Then one day it was like my dreams had come true, you were literally thrown into my life and my feelings just grew.
They scared me heck they still scare me, but I can't do anything about them, I have to keep my distance because if I don't what would happen to you. The hate you'd get from befriending the guy with the villains quirk, I can't do that to you Kami because I love you too much. And I don't think my heart could take it if you hated me too."

I shut him up before he could continue by rushing forward and placing my lips over his own, he was stunned and stiff at first but soon melted into it.
His arms wrapping round my waist as my own reached around his neck, god I'd wanted to do this for so long now it was happening it felt like sparks were flying. You never know there probably were considering my quirk.

We broke apart to get some air "you love me? I'm glad I thought it was only me who loved you."
I laughed at his shocked expression "but what about Jiro"
"what you think a guy this good looking was straight, please" This time he laughed.
"So" I placed my hands on his cheeks and wiped away a few stray tears. "Since I love you and you obviously love me does that mean we're dating?"

"I guess so if that's ok with you?" He nodded
"Of course it's ok with me you idiot, if it wasn't do you think I'd have asked or kissed you, heck if I didn't I'd already be halfway back umph"
This time he cut me off as his lips descended into my own sending warm tingly waves through my body.

"Damn I love you so much Denki and you have no idea how long I've wanted to say that." He whispered as we broke apart, lips so close I could feel them brushing against my own.
"I love you too Hitoshi."
