Chapter 11: Helping

Shinso's Pov:

"K-kami?" I stuttered.

I could believe what I was seeing.

He looked over at me, shock and panic evidently written on his features.

I looked into his eyes. I had to bite me lip to keep from gasping. His eyes, they looked so broken, he looked broken.

I was scared. The boy I love, looked so hurt.

Yes I said loved, I figured that out awhile ago. I had realized that the feeling I felt toward Denki Kaminari was love.

I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard a strangled like sob. I looked at the boy in front of me. I wanted to help any way I could.

I walked over and sat next to him. I slowly took the blade out of his hands.

He looked at me like he was scared. My brow furrowed, how do I make him feel safe?

I couldn't think of anything to do, so I did the first thing that came to mind.

I hugged him. I hugged him tightly.

It took him a second to figure out what was happening, but once he worked it out, he hugged back, just as tightly, if not tighter.

I'm not sure how long we sat there. All I do know is that I didn't plan on letting him go any time soon.

Denki's Pov:

He was hugging me, HE WAS HUGGING ME!! I couldn't believe it, I thought that as soon as he came to his senses after finding me in the bathroom, he would have left me. That was the whole reason I was so scared when he found me.

That and he might tell Mr. Aizawa, and then he would take my last blade.

Cutting is like the only way I can calm myself down.

I know I needed to find a better way to calm myself down, but cutting makes me feel in control.

We sat there, on the bathroom floor for quite a long time. After awhile of just sitting there, he finally pulled back, only enough for him to look into my eyes.

"Look, I know I might not be the best friend, or the best with emotions, but I really want to help you any way I can, okay? And I won't tell anyone about this, if you promise to come to me whenever you're upset ok?" He said.

I almost started crying right then and there all over again. He was so sweet.

"Okay" I replied, "But I don't want to bother you or anything like that."

"You won't be bothering me in any way. I wouldn't have suggested it if it was going to bother me at all." He reassured me.

"Alright" I said sheepishly.

"Hey since it's Saturday, do you want to go to the mall with me, to cheer up?" He asked, blushing ever so slightly.

"Y-yeah sure, just let me get dressed real quick" 

After a couple of minutes I was dressed and ready to leave. We walked out of the building and started heading toward the mall.

I took a around 15 minutes to get there via walking, but we eventually made it.

We entered the crowded building and started looking around.

We talked and joked for almost 2 hours. We even stopped to eat somewhere at one point.

"alright I think we should be heading back right about now. It's already 6 p.m." Shinso stated.

"Yeah we should, come on!" I said while practically dragging him all the way back to the dorms.

By the time we were back, we were both out of breath. 

"Hey, thank for today I had a really good time." I said, smiling at Shinso.

I noticed him blush, only slightly, but I still noticed it.

"Y-yeah you're welcome" He stuttered, "And please, remember your promise." I watched as he walked away, heading back to his dorm room.

'Well today was very interesting' I thought as I made my way back up to my own room.

(Hey I'm also like really sorry for my really messed up posting schedule)
