Shinso's POV
It's been about a week or so since the incident and I'm definitely feeling much better. Denki has been with me the entire time and I'm just glad it's him and not someone else. I'm seeing a therapist now and I gotta say that everything has changed and for the better. Dad has been warming up to Denki more since he's around more and I'm so happy about that. Pops has always liked him though, but they've gotten closer since the 'incident' which is good. Oh! And one more thing, Denki got me a kitten when I was released from Recovery Girl's office! It's a little gray kitten with white spots and it's super cute and her name is Misty.
Kaminari's POV
Right now we're just sitting on Hitoshi's bed cuddling as I hold him close in my arms with him sitting on my lap reading a book and MIsty in his lap while I was just on my phone. We sat in silence for a moment until I broke it.
"Hey, Hitoshi?"
"Hm?"
"I was just wondering, what happened exactly, like why would you want to hurt yourself?" I said with concern in my voice.
"I uh just um, y' know uhhhh..."
"Hm?"
"*sigh* look, Denki I know that you care about me and want me to tell you everything but honestly, I don't even know the answer to some things, I guess I was just having an episode and needed to find some way to calm down so I went to the bathroom and started to....cut myself," he said the last part in more of a whisper compared to his usual tone of voice, "and I think I cut more than I anticipated and so I started to bleed out more than expected and then passed out from blood loss," he explained.
"Mmm ok but you do realize that you could have just gone to the counselor or something, you don't have to hurt yourself just to feel better or calm down or you could always just come to me," I say as I twist his hair in my fingers.
"I know but we were in class so I didn't want to disturb the class just because I was feeling sad," he said putting his book down to pet the cat.
"Hitoshi, you're not going to disturb the class just by walking out to talk to me," I said with concern in my voice.
"Ya but I don't want people to get suspicious, plus my dad would have never let us leave the classroom together at that time. plus something good came out if it, he now tolerates you more and is warming up to you and now and lets you be with me all the time, so I'd say what happened isn't that bad if you just look at the aftermath," he said trying to change the subject of the conversation.
"Hitoshi Shinso," I said sternly knowing full well of what he was doing.
"Yes~," he said innocently.
"You know that no matter what, hurting yourself is never a good thing and wishing death upon yourself is never a good thing even if what happens next is good," I say, to not just only him but to whoever else is reading this and is doing or wishing the same things that he's doing or wishing for himself, 'FRICKEN LOVE YOURSELF OR I, DENKI KAMINARI WILL PERSONALLY COME AND HUGE YOU, AND GIVE YOU ALL THE LOVE YOU DESERVE AND I-'
'Hehe sorry about that I guess he just got all caught up in the moment, but yes I do agree with him, love yourself'- Author <3
Anyways back to the story and away from the fact that the fourth wall was just broken....looking at you kaminari. 'Heh, sorry author and my lovely readers anyways ya back to the story <3.'
"Ya I know, I'm sorry Denki," he says not daring to look up or into my eye for fear of tears that will fall from his eyes.
"Don't be sorry 'Toshi you should never be sorry for something like this, and at least you're trying to get better, you're getting the help you deserve and need and in time I'm sure things will change for the better," I say with a small smile on my face as I lighting turn his face to face mine with my hand and pull him into a sweet kiss before letting go.
Shinso's POV
We just stay like that for a while, me in his arms and kissing and only stopping for air but then going right back into the kiss as if it's the most important thing right now. I suddenly feel weight be released off my lap, realizing it's just MIsty leaving I dismiss it until i hear a knock at the door. Deki and I pull away and I get off his lap to open the door.
"Oh hey dad whats up," I say to the dark-haired man standing I the doorway.
"It's Friday" he just says bluntly. I look at him confused until it hits me, I have therapy today and in states in 10 minutes.
"Shit! I'm gonna be late for therapy." I exclaimed as I shut the door and start getting ready.
"Hey, Hitoshi do ya think I could come with you today, I just want to know what it's like. but I don't have to if you don't want me to, of course, I know it's supposed to be just something between you and the therapist and all but I just wanna be there to see what you guys talk about and stuff-" he said looking down before I cut him off.
"Denki it's ok you can come if you want it's not that big of a deal, plus it'll build trust between us and we'll get to know each other better," I say as I laughed at how caring my boyfriends can be.
"Really! well um but I don't have to I don't mind not going it's really just all up to you, I mean it is your therapy session," he said while a light blush forces its way onto his cheeks, cute.
"Denki, baby don't worry I was gonna ask you anyways if you wanted to come and when you asked if you could come I got excited, so yes, of course, I don't mind you coming along," I say holding him and a hug as I peck his forehead," now let's get going before we're late, we have to be there in like 5 minutes and it takes about 7 minutes to walk there."
"Ok," he said cheerfully with a big smile on his face. God, I love seeing him smile, it's like therapy in an of its self, and it's free! I open the door of my dorm and I see dad still standing there.
"Well, I assume Denki will be joining you and seeing as you don't have a lot of time to get there I'll drive you," he says in his normal monotoned voice. when we get to the car I see Pops sitting there waiting in the passenger's seat on his phone. Denki and I get up in the back seat and start heading towards my therapy building. along the way, Pops starts talking to us.
"So is Denki joining you today!" he says cheerfully.
"Uh ya, he is," I reply back.
"Oh! that's nice, oh, by the way, how are you doing Denki,"
"Oh! I'm doing great how are you!" they begin talking all the way until we get there. we finally arrive and dad looks relieved that the talking finally settled down, and honestly I don't care too much and I'm glad that Pops and Denki get along really well but sometimes just peace and quiet would be nice from time to time. Anyways when we get there Deki and I get down and started heading towards the building, I can tell he looks a little nervous, I don't know why it's not like he's not the one going in there and talking about himself but ok.
