It Started On New Year's Eve

Moonlight confession

"Hey Kami."

"Hey Shin."

Shinso sat next to Kaminari. Kaminari almost immediately felt as ease. Shinso's very presence seemed to calm his nerves, but manage to electrocute them at the same time, or maybe that was just his quirk?

"You know how I wanted to talk to you earlier? About something important?"

Kaminari nodded.

"Well..." Shinso trailed off, trying to think of the correct words.

Kaminari waited in anticipation.

Shinso had always sucked at conversation. He could never explain his feelings and he wasn't the best at putting words to things he felt. Not to mention he'd never felt anything like this before. How the hell is one supposed to tell their best friend that their heart skips a beat when they walk in the room, they find themselves dreaming about them and make up fantasies in their head without even realizing?

"I need some advice." Shinso looked at Kaminari.

"Ya?" Kaminari tilted his head to the side.

"So, there's this person that I really like. And I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to express how I feel to them."

Kaminari's heart dropped and fluttered at the same time. Shinso's been acting weird around him lately so he could like him.

"Well, what're they like? And why're you asking ME of all people for advice?" Kaminari tried to make a joke out of the situation.

"Well, they're blond, annoying, loud-"

"Do you like Monoma?" Kaminari asked, trying to laugh off hiss obvious voice crack.

"No." Shinso smiled softly.

Shinso slowly lowered his hand to Kaminari's.

"You dense mother fucker." He chuckled.

"I knew you liked me!" Kaminari whisper yelled.

"I really like you, Denki." Shinso said, his voice low.

Shinso brought his free hand up to Kaminari's cheek, turning to the side. He gently stoked Kaminari's cheekbone with his knuckles.

Just that small, simple gesture made Kaminari's stomach churn. His chest tightened and his heart beat flew. Shinso's touch sent shivers down his entire body.

Kaminari noticed Shinso's eyes. They were glowing in the moonlight. He remembered that he'd always wanted to get lost in those eyes. Now he could. He noticed how Shinso's lips glimmered in the moonlight.

"Are you wearing lip gloss?" Kaminari whispered, barely audible.

Shinso slowly ran his hand down to Kaminari's jawline.

"So what if I am?"

Kaminari's breathing hitched and he thought he'd short circuit. The butterflies were becoming more aggressive and Kaminari's stomach started to ache. His heart squeezed and he couldn't move if he wanted to. The only thing holding him up was Shinso's hand on his face.

Shinso finally slid his hand to Kaminari's chin, tilting his head up with his pointer finger and thumb.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Kirishima and Mina came bursting through the dorm  doors.

In pure surprise and initial fear, Kaminari shoved Shinso off of him.

"Hey are you guys ok? You left so abruptly-" Mina looked at the to boys, clearly flustered and laying on the grass.

"Uhhh, are we interrupting something?" Kirisima asked slowly backing up.

"Mina! Kirishima! It's not what it looks like I swear!" Kaminari lied.

"Kirishima I think we should go." Mina whispered.

"Well anyways you two carry on we'll be going now!" Mina quickly shoved Kirishima back inside.

"I think I should go back too." Shinso stood.

"God they're annoying." Kaminari stood with Shinso.

The two boys started towards the school doors.

"So are you gonna stay at the party or...?" Kaminari asked.

"Probably stay at the party for a little longer. I'm already here." Shinso opened the door and allowed Kaminari to walk through.

"Hey...are things awkward now?" Kaminari fiddled with his hands.

"Not unless you make it awkward."

"Do you think...never mind." Kaminari sped up the pace down the hall. 

The two boys reached the party and saw a very strange sight. Everyone was acting weird. Weird as in drunk...
