Denki stood on his toes so he could reach Sero's lips. Sero bent down a little, wrapping his arms around Denki's body. Sero felt his resolve crumbling. He was 18. He shouldn't be kissing a 17 year old but Denki would be 18 in a few weeks.

Sero lifts the blond off the ground, setting him on the counter. His hands travel up the blonds shirt, experimentally teasing his waist which earns a groan.                                                                              Denki's mouth tasted sweet like candy, which was far better then the scotch taste of Sero's mouth. Denki pushed Sero away once the teen tries to lift the blonds shirt.

"I...Could we just..." Denki bites his lip, looking at the ground. He looked like he was torn between stopping and continuing.

"Sure. Do your parents know your here?" Sero keeps the blond on the counter, just holding him in his arms. It felt so right to have the blond in his house; in his arms.

"No. I ran away when they grounded me. I can't believe they grounded me! They even took away my gaming system. Bullshit!" Sero watched the blond gamer get pissed with a grin. Denki was a huge gamer with a huge collection of games and consoles. With the lightening strip in his hair, he looked like a real life Pikachu which never failed to amuse Sero.

"You better go home before they find out your here."

"Since when did you care about my rentals giving a fuck?"

"Since they said i wasn't allowed to see you."

Denki rolls his eyes, letting out a groan. "My parents are homophobic idiots."

Sero laughs a little, helping Denki down, following him to the living room.

"Well, i don't want the cops called on me. I'm 18. I can go to jail."

Denki pouts, sitting down on the couch besides me. He scoots closer to Sero, making him raise an eyebrow.

"Sero, what are we?"

"Whatever you want us to be." Sero's heart was pounding in his chest. Denki bites his lip, looking nervous.

"Will you make me a promise?"

"Depends on what you want."

"I want you to be my boyfriend but i don't want you to feel tied down. When i die, find someone else but until then, be my boyfriend?" Sero's face heats up, as does the blonds. The stay silent before Sero nods.

"As long as you can promise that you won't give up on finding a cure or a heart."

"I promise." Sero leans over, pulling Denki into a kiss. It was easier to kiss him sitting down. Anybody could tell the height difference between the two was significant. Sero was almost a head taller then Denki.

Denki pulls away with a shy smile, his face red.

"Sorry i'm not a good kisser. Your my first."

"Don't worry. I'm not the god of kissing either." Denki giggles. The sound makes Sero's heart soar. Denki crawls into Sero's lap, biting his lip. They both were still flushed from earlier. A chuckle bubbles up from Sero when Denki pulls Sero's collar, making them kiss again. 

Denki's kisses were soft but this one rapidly heated up. Swiping his tongue across Denki's bottom lip, Sero quickly adjusts Denki on his lap. Denki willingly opened his mouth, allowing entrance.

Denki's hands pulled Sero's shirt off, continuing the kiss. Sero allows the blond's hands to explore his chest, running along his smooth stomach and slightly toned chest.

But when Denki goes to take off his own shirt is when Sero pulls away.

"What'er you doing?"

"I though thats where this was going."

"Denki, your only seventeen. I know the only reason why your doing this is because of your time limit. I'm not going to touch you until your 18. I want you to actually want to do this and not rush into this."

"But what if i die before i'm ready? I don't wanna die a virgin." Sero laughs a little, pulling Denki into a hug.

"If your so worried then wait until your birthday. Then i'll do whatever you want, ok?"

Denki nods, burring his face in Sero's chest.

"I feel like a idiot."

Sero laughs at Denki's whining. The blond is quick to laugh too, both of them dissolving into giggles. That was the best part of the blond. He was so fun to be around, even when things got awkward. 

"I'd better get home. Mom and Dad should be getting home soon."

"I'll walk you."

"No, i got it. I don't want you getting caught." Sero walks Denki to the door, ruffling his hair. 

"Text me when you get home ok?"   "Yeah, no problem. Bye."



                          ...............................................................................................................

The next day Sero woke up to a good morning text from Denki. It was the great start to a busy day. Once he took a shower and got dressed, Sero quickly got dressed in his uniform for work. He biked all the way there, making it just in time.

"Your late Sero." his co-worker teases, pointing at the always early clock.

"Nice try. I'm three minuets early."

"Good, cause the boss wants you in his office. Like now."

Sero waves goodbye, walking into the small, dirty office. His boss a short, pot bellied pig look alike but he was nice enough to hire Sero without a resume. That alone got him on the teens good side.

"You wanted to see me?"

The boss looked up from his paperwork, smiling at Sero. 

"Yes. Sit down, take a load off." Sero did as told. He felt like a scolding was coming.

"I want to offer you a raise."

"I'm sorry sir, whatever i did won't happen again! Wait, what?"

"A raise. Your not in trouble. On the contrary, i think your an excellent worker." Sero eyes widened in shock.

"I'll take the raise sir! I'll even work harder."

"I bet you will. Get back to work for now." Sero walked out, his good mood soaring. Today was going to be a easy day too. It was Thursday night, so not alot of people were ordering out. Sero took his time sweeping the floor, glancing at the clock every now and then.

Time seemed to crawl by slower then molasses in January.

Sero's phone went off in his pocket. He dropped his broom, making his way to the bathroom. He pulled out his phone to find 2 new messages. One was from Denki which made him smile. The other was from Sero's mom.

Sero quickly opened the message from the blond, smiling at what he saw.

Pikachu: When ur outta work, come see me. And don't worry about my parents ;) 

Sero responded with a thumbs up, clicking the back button. The message from his parents mocked him as the red number one stood next to his mom's contact.

A few months ago when Sero turned 18, his parents had kicked him out saying it was because he was an adult but he knew the truth. It was because of his sexuality. They had told him right out that until he was 'normal' he wasn't allowed to contact them. He moved into his apartment the following week.

He had expected to be forever ignored. A stain on his parents life but here was the message, reaching out and asking how he was doing.

Mom: Hey honey. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Can we expect you for sunday dinner?

Sero was slow in typing his reply.

Me: I'll be there. I'm bringing a friend.
