Wallflower: Kaminari x Shy Reader

Requested by Eh_Eh_0o0 who won 1st place in my recent writing contest. Go ahead and check out her submission when you have the time. She deserves the praise.

Also, I made many references in this oneshot but none of them can earn you a prize. How reference prizes work in this book is if you find references that I DON'T directly call out by name. Therefore, references that I directly called out like movie and character names won't count for a prize.

For the millionth time, you saw Denki pull off his most disheartening pout and glossy amber gaze. Maybe turning him down wasn't the smartest decision. Nobody can say no to a cute puppy dog and he just so happened to be yours. "Why can't we make it official?" Kaminari had finally come out and asked after bottling up his emotions for so long. You've been dreading the day the question would pop and never expect such a day to be today. It was gonna happen eventually right?

Despite his right to have an answer, you refused to give one and he knew you wouldn't give one. "I don't need to explain!" Was all you really had to say. Your boyfriend already knew the truth, no need to go around repeating everything like a broken record.

The way Kaminari's eyes squinted so much that they nearly came to a close just set in stone that he was upset with you and gave that earning glare. "Can I at least tell my class that I have a girlfriend? I'm tired of lying to my bros." 'Oh I'm not feeling good', 'I'm tired', 'can't turn down my tutor!' He's used all of those excuses a million times before and they're all beginning to work against his favor.

"Well..." You hummed. Deep down, you didn't want the news reaching anyone.

"Come on it's not like anyone talks to anybody from your class!"

That is a valid point. All you could do was shyly hide your face by slightly tilting your head down to stare at the hands that lied upon your lap. "I guess it's fine..." Your voice suggested that this decision was one you regret.

"There you go..." Kaminari managed to snake an arm around your shoulders and pulled you in just enough for his cheek to nuzzle your head of hair. "Acting like a bratty kid the second they don't get their way."

"Am not..." You didn't like the boy's teasing despite how truthful it may be.

"Really though," Kaminari simply rested his head onto top of yours. "Give me one reason why you don't want me to announce that we're dating. You mentioned something about your class but I really don't get it."

Of course Kaminari wouldn't understand. It's Kaminari we're talking about. That boy is using such little space up in his cranium that if you knock on it all you'd hear is an echo that goes on forever and ever. "You know..." You fought to pull together a few words let alone an entire response. "I hate attention and... And my class hates yours... Please don't make me talk more..."

"Way to get to the point," Kaminari snickered to your blunt yet adorable reply. "But seriously though. As I said before, nobody from my class talks to yours except maybe Kirishima and Tetsutetsu. Even then, I don't really think they talk anymore."

"Again... I gave you permission to do whatever," your face was beginning to grow rosy. Too much talking leads to this bodily response you've grown to hate more than talking itself.

"Fine," the boy pressed his lips to the top of your head and pulled back just as quickly. "See you tomorrow my beautiful Wallflower."

"See you..." You fought off the burning sensation in your cheeks as you awaited your boyfriend to leave the cafe before you so that the trip back to UA wouldn't be as bumpy.
