Short Circuit My Heart - ShinKami

A Trip to the Mall

Denki's POV

Shinso is so soft, his hair, his skin...it's all so soft. Are his lips as soft? His eyes are such a gentle purple. Even though they always look so tired. They're so different from my violent yellow ones, filled with electricity. I could stare into his eyes forever. He could put me under his control with a single glance with those eyes. I wanna run my hands through his hair and down his chest and....

My alarm went off.

Oh my gosh was I dreaming about Shinso like that? We met yesterday ! I need to stop, we've had like three interactions. The first of which I completely bulldozed into him. What day is it? It was Thursday when I had my accident, and I slept for a day so Friday's gone. Yesterday was Saturday and I got like half of that. So Sunday it is. That means I get to sleep in. But I'm already up and after that dream..I'm not sure I wanna go back to sleep.

It's not my fault he's hot. I start to think about him again when I remember my hungry haze last night. I jumped up and fell off my bed. I was so rude to him! I remember I even threatened to kill him... But that explains why I was dreaming of him. I should apologize. But first I need to get dressed for the day.

I shift through my closest and throw on a light blue shirt with a grey cardigan and some black jeans. I pat on some concealer and dab on some highlighter. I put on some sneakers and brush my hair out. I also grab my tote bag. I have to go to the mall today to pick up some paints for a project I'm working on for Mina's birthday.

I head next door and knock on the door, while trying to be quiet. It's a little early so he might not be up and I definitely don't want to wake up Bakugou or Sero this early. I wait a minute and decide that he isn't up and that I don't wanna wake him up so I start to walk away. Then the door opens and a half dressed Shinso is standing there.

He didn't have a shirt. My hair stood on end as the currents under my skin raced a little. "Hi...Hi Shinso. Did I wake you up?" I asked, keeping my voice low.

He yawned and stretched and then he nodded. "Yeah but it's okay. I should be getting up to do my stretches." He said while rubbing his eyes. "Where are you going?" He asked, pointing at my bag.

I looked down and blinked. "Oh, I'm going to the mall. There are a few things I need to buy." I smiled. He smiled a little too.

"Hey...if you wait fifteen minutes I'll go with you. If you want that is. Plus it gives you time to eat breakfast first." He grabbed the sides of the door and leaned forward. I knew it was to stretch his muscles but... wow. He's ripped.

I didn't answer because my mouth went dry, so he waved his hand in front of my face. "Denki... You in there?" He laughed. His laugh is what snapped me out of it.

"Yeah, Whoa man I'm sorry, I spaced. Yeah I'll go eat and you do what you need to do and we can go together. Is there something you need from the mall?" I asked, I figured he didn't offer because he wanted to go with me.

"Uh yeah...yeah I need. Shorts..." He said, like he was grasping for something out of thin air. I smiled and headed to the common room kitchen.

Shinso's POV

Shorts? That's what I came up with. I'm an idiot. I have 15 minutes to get ready for a mall trip with a cute boy. I put on a grey long sleeve shirt and some blue jeans and immediately called my dad. Not Aizawa, but Mic. "Dad, uh I have a question." I say, my dad will know what to do.

"Shoot kiddo." He says, rather loud. Before continuing I turn down the volume of my phone.

"Say I'm going out with someone I like, and I'm not sure if they think it's a date or not. Do I treat it like a date or like a friend...trip?" That was kinda difficult to explain. He sits on the other side silent for a while, before taking a deep breath. I brace myself for screaming, but he exhales and says;

"I had the same issue with your father. I was in love with him all throughout high school. But every time we hung out I wanted it to be a date and I never knew what he wanted. You should ask him what he thinks it is." I thought for a second. I never specified gender.

"He..?" I asked.

"Yes kiddo I know your gay. I found those magaz..." I cut him off

"Dad stop, dad stop. Bye dad. Tell Eri I love her and miss her tons." And with that I hung up on him screaming laughing. I look at the clock on my phone and see it's been almost 15 minutes. I'll confess to Denki when I figure out if it's because he's cute or if I like him. I jog to the elevator and hop in. When I get to the kitchen I see Sero standing with his arms around Denki. Denki was laughing and finishing up his waffle.

I don't like this feeling. The slight pinch in my heart when I see that. I clear my throat and look away.

"Denki you ready?" I asked roughly. Like Bakugou would. And, I don't know if I imagined it but Denki's smile got brighter and he grabbed his stuff. He threw a quick half hearted goodbye to Sero, which I smirked about. Sero smiled and waved bye. With that we headed out. Waving bye to those we passed on our way out. Iida reminding us to be back by 5 for dinner.

Denki replied "Sure Dad..." And looked at me while laughing.

"So what stores do we wanna go to?" I asked, trying to come up with a topic of conversation. He thought for a moment and zoomed off.

"Well first I wanna go to this one art store, to pick up paints for Mina's birthday present. Then we can go to a couple clothing stores. I also need to go to Ultra, and then Warm Topic if you want. And then we can get lunch and then if we have time we can check out the new arcade they added." He was so animated when talking. It was adorable. I can catch up to what he's saying when he's talking fast. Sometimes it was a little blurry. He looked up at me.

"Yeah sounds like a plan." I said, shoving my hands in my pockets. We walked to the mall and walked in comfortable silence. Denki made small comments about random things we passed. Like this one rose bush that was all yellow and reminded him of his hair. He also saw a butterfly and wanted to chase after it into the road. I had to grab him by the hips and pull him back to stop him from getting hit.

"Denki you need to be careful..." I huffed into the back of his head. He nodded, a little shaken up and buzzing. The rest of the walk went by without a hitch, I stood closer then I did before. He seemed fine with it so I took this as a positive thing.

We got to the mall and we went into a small art shop. It had the basics and nothing nice but Denki looked excited and walked around for a while. He finally settled on a hot pink fabric paint, some white lace trimming and a small sewing kit. He paid and we left.

Then we went to Ultra, and we wandered around. I looked at the skin care while he looked at the foundations and eyeliners. I picked out this little, almost lipstick like, under eye care stick. The thing that drew me to it was the fact that it looked like a cat. Plus my under eye bags are pretty much Grucci. He bought a small thing of liquid foundation, and a lip gloss. He let me see it and it was lemon flavored and had yellow glitter in it. I bet that tasted wonderful. I wonder if he'd ever let me try it...

Next we went to various clothing stores, but when we went to Forever 20, he kept going back to this one pair of socks. They were thigh highs, and had cat paws on the feet ends. He seemed to like them but made no move to get them. I made a mental note of that and my brain gave me some images it didn't quite need at this exact moment in time. I saw a cute pair of grey high waisted shorts, with six buttons going down the middle. I got them, because they were on sale. Now I know what you're thinking, but gender is a joke and they were cute shorts. I also bought the socks Denki was looking at, because Christmas is right around the corner.

Denki walked up to me as I finished checking out, "Shinso~ I'm hungry~." He complained. I looked at the time on my phone. It was a little past one and I was feeling a little hungry. I still had about 40 dollars in my account. "Let's go eat then. You pick." I said grabbing my bag and headed to the door.
