It Started On New Year's Eve

Never Have I Ever

Kaminari debates walking away from the circle to avoid Mina's question. But he couldn't, and he knew that.

"...bought flavored condoms." Mina said, trying not to laugh.

Most of the people in the circle burst out into laughter when Kirishima and two others put a finger down.

Kaminari verbally sighed in relief.

"You thought it'd be something embarrassing didn't you, Kami." Mina smirked devilishly.

Kaminari playfully glared at Mina, it was still a warning though.

He was still on edge. Kirishima and Sero were in his group. Kirishima would be merciful but not Sero, he was ruthless.

Kaminari flinched when Kirishima said his never.

"Never have I ever..." Kirishima and Kaminari made brief eye contact.

Kaminari almost jumped as he said the never.

"...been good at drawing."

Kaminari took a deep breath. God he was on edge. Then he noticed Shinso looking at him.

"What?" He asked.

"You're an amazing artist. Put a damn finger down." Shinso said.

"Pfft. No I'm not-"

Shinso reached his hand over to Kaminari's and pushed one of his fingers down.

"I-I am." Kaminari stuttered out.

Shinso basically just held his hand.

"Oh yeah! You have a sketchbook don't you Kami? You'll have to show me later." Mina commented.

A few other people mumbled about the answers from fellow groupmates.

"Ok...my turn." Sero said, staring at Kaminari with a smirk.

His heart pounded.

"Never have I ever...had a crush on a boy in class 1B with insomnia, a brainwashing quirk and purple hair."

Kaminari was mortified, even though he'd seen it coming. Did he have to be so specific? His face heated up and he knew it was bright red. Thank god for the LED lights flashing around the room, it made his blush harder to see.

He could feel Shinso's eyes on him. Did he know? Kaminari opened his mouth slightly and his finger twitched to fold down. However he stayed quiet. And so did everyone else.

"I-I-I need to step out for a bit." Kaminari stood up, and walked away despite his shaky legs.

He walked through the corridors and reached the bathrooms.

"FUCK!" He slammed his fist into one of the bathroom stall doors.

Kaminari didn't swear very often. He'd only ever say minor words like, 'damn'.

Getting worked up over a dumb party game was also something he didn't do very often. Yet there he was, throwing a temper tantrum in the dorm bathrooms because he couldn't admit his feeling to a boy that obviously liked him back.

Kaminari decided to step outside. He was slowly walking down the stairs, too scared to take the elevator. He tried to really think about how he was feeling about Shinso but gave up. He didn't normally think about things. He was more comfortable just being there, in the moment. Thinking hurt, he's been doing too much of it this week. He finally reached the doors to outside. The full moon was bright and illuminated everything around him. He noticed the stars around it. Kaminari made his way over to the grass in front of him. He laid down and watched the stars, watched the different shapes and sizes of the stars. He felt calm and at peace which didn't happen often.

He sat watching the stars for what must've been about ten minutes before he heard footsteps behind him.

"Hey Kami."

"Hey Shin."
