Electric days (Shinsou x Kaminari)

Not now

Shinsou
Not even an hour after he'd left he'd been back at my door asking if I wanted to join him, and for some unknown reason I agreed to go.
Maybe it was the stares we were getting or it could've been the fact i didn't want to see his dejected face if I said no.

So now I am stood outside the train station in my nicest pair of black jeans, my only white hoodie and a light grey top I managed to find at the back of my draw.
Kaminari told me to get here for 8:30 yet it was coming up to 9:00 and he still wasn't here, in the distance I noticed a faint line of smoke making its way towards the station.

It stopped abruptly outside the station and I wasn't surprised to see Iida with Kaminari under his arm.
"Sorry I'm late, I caught a ride at least" He slurred out as Iida set him on his unsteady feet
"Man that was fast."
He stumbled and I rushed to catch him "well thanks Iida see ya later" the boy with glasses huffed and told Kaminari that next time he should leave on time, before speeding back the way he came.

I waited for Kami to regain his bearings before letting him stand on his own
"Well we should get going, can't keep my parents waiting."
He'd already sauntered off towards the trains leaving me to follow behind, not that I minded since I got a nice view of his slender frame from here.

It was only a short few stops on the train and the whole time I could hear people whispering,
That's the one right, don't talk or he'll do something, just stay away, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up a villain, what's with that quirk anyway, he's so creepy, there's something wrong about him.

We turned up at his house around 10:00, it was a small house but it looked beautiful. The door opened before we'd even got close to it, a woman who had the same bright yellow hair as Kaminari stood next to a man with black hair and the same glowing eyes as my friend.
"Oh my baby boy is home and he brought a friend" she squealed engulfing the both of us in a hug
"Honey don't embarrass the boy at least let them in first." His dad chuckled as he watched his wife quickly let go and rush us indoors.

"Mum, Dad this is my friend Shinsou."
I smiled and shook their hands "it's a pleasure to meet the both of you."
His dad looked a bit wary of me but his mum seemed to like me as she rushed around making sure I was comfortable.

Turns out we were going to some sort of family gathering that Kami's cousins was holding, so we were bundled into the family car and were soon off travelling again.
We pulled up outside a rather large fancy looking building and I suddenly felt quite under dressed, the only thing that soothes my nerves was the fact that Kaminari was also wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

We entered and I could tell that everyone here were most definitely related to Kaminari, the air felt alive with electricity as people walked round.
"Try not to touch anyone or you might end up getting a larger electric shock than you were bargaining for." He whispered to me before smiling and waving at another family member
"I hate these events."

I was shocked to hear those words leave his mouth, he always loved everything especially large gatherings.
We spent most of our time wandering around quietly  making fun of his family members, every time I heard someone mention a bad comment about me I steered our direction away from them. I didn't need Kaminari over hearing anything they had to say about me, because what if he suddenly realised what he was doing and actually agreed with them.
I don't think I could handle loosing him forever.

We eventually came across his cousins that were hosting the party, full of excitement Kaminari ran at them almost knocking the two over as he hugged them.
He was talking so quickly that you didn't know when one conversation topic finished and another started, this was the Kaminari I fell in love with. The over the top, easily excitable puppy of a boy that brought happiness wherever he went.

"Oh and this is my friend Shinsou." I hadn't been paying attention to the conversation till now, his cousins had both turned to me and looked expectantly.
"Um hi, Shinsou" for some reason the look they were giving me was unnerving, maybe I was just imagining it I know people don't like me but this is something different.

"Hey there I'm Kina and my brother is Kiya" the twins held matching fake smiles that were definitely starting to creep me out.
"Hey Denki could ya grab us some drinks whilst we get to know your friend" I didn't want him to leave but before I could say anything he was gone.

"So you're Shinsou in the flesh" Kina muttered
"Disappointing really" the other added. I didn't really know what to say to that, I was used to people hating me but what was I supposed to do about it when it was being said to my face.

"We know, it's obvious by the way you look at him that you love him." I tried to protest but there was no point I'd been found out.
"But you see, you can't have him. I mean would people think if someone with such a villainous quirk got ahold of our families pride and joy, they'll just think you've brainwashed him for your own selfish desires. Then again you'd probably have to do that anyway because there's no way he'd like you, firstly because you're a man and secondly because no one in their right mind would jeopardise their career for you." Kina carried on casually whilst looking at his perfectly manicured hands.

"It's obvious the way you're both going to end up, so why don't you save everyone the hassle and just join the league already. What is this whole I'm going to be a hero thing going to achieve huh?"
I couldn't answer because I didn't really know, all I'd ever tried to be was a hero but what has that brought me, nothing but pain and anguish.
"Exactly" Kiya finished "I'd suggest you leave before people start spreading rumours that you're going to brainwash them into doing your bidding."

I could already feel the tears welling up in my eyes as that lump from before returned, quickly I turned and walked away. I needed to find somewhere to hide, I can't go around crying in a place like this.

In the distance I spotted a small shed and immediately started weaving my way through the crowd towards it.
Once in and the door was shut tears silently made their way down my face, I hated crying. It reminded me of when my parents died, I'd cried for weeks on end hoping that they'd come back but they never did.

I was crying so hard that I didn't even notice it till a pair of arms wrapped round me and pulled my head to their chest.
From what I could make out through my tear blurred vision it was a yellow haired, glowing eyed boy with jeans and a t-shirt, he didn't say anything instead he just held me in his arms letting me cry into his shirt.

If I hadn't already fallen in love with him I think now I definitely would've.

After that we went back to the car Kaminari made an excuse for us to head home early, his parents insisted on taking us all the way back to UA which I was very great full for.

The car journey though was awkwardly silent, his dad threw back a few curious yet sympathetic glances at me and I wondered if he'd heard all the stuff that was said about me at the party, or if he knew what happened.
Once we were back I briefly thanked Kaminari's parents and left straight away, I didn't even say goodbye to him as I entered my dorm and went straight for my room.
