Cataclysmic Events (BNHA Apocalypse AU)

Painful Greeting

(Section 2)

      Often enough, being alone during the apocalypse could make you become... complacent. You didn't watch out for signs of life, you were cautious enough when you approached places, you stopped believing you'd come across someone else, friend or otherwise. Becoming complacent could be dangerous, yes, but who gave a flying fuck when there were no rules. A hatchet, clipped to Hitoshi Shinsou's belt, swung and bumped against Hitoshi's side as he approached the particular bunker, quiet save for the quiet steps and the cocky demeanour. With each step he took, the hatchet added a bit of wear to his jeans, carving a hole in them through years of use. He squeezed through what he thought was the door, and that was when it all went to shit.

     Denki Kaminari had hidden himself on the other side, against the wall that held the door frame. He of course was frightened, as no one had the nerve to even approach this place in the past eleven years. Kaminari had done a well job at making it look vacant as ever. But here he stood with a hand clasped across his mouth, trying to hold back panicked breaths. He couldn't fight back if the intruder was hostile. With a lame leg and almost no muscle mass, he was practically dead already. So when the purple haired stranger steps through that door, he makes the first attack. Lunging forwards and pressing two metal pins to the junction of his neck. Sending out a jolt of electricity with a push of a battery-operated button.

      That was a bold move against Hitoshi, his fingers reaching for his weapon before the electricity causes his muscles to all activate at once, spasming painfully. He crumpled to the ground, a near inaudible gasp escaping his lips. He presses his head to the ground as he panted, to cold soothing his ache a little.

 "What was that for!?" He twitched, already on the defensive.

     Kaminari immediately froze up, dropping the taser. He hadn't actually used it before and the outcome had sort of startled him. And now he just felt awful. "Gah- I'm sorry, I didn't think it would do all that!"

     Ugh, people were so naive. Shinsou grasped into the response, activated his power, peeking up to see the boy's face go blank. "Help me up." He commanded him, and when he was on his feet he briefly thought about telling him to leave and never come back. This was a fine building on its own and would make a good home for him. "That'll be all." And he let go, dusting himself off.

As soon as Denki was let go, A shudder ran through his whole body. He turns around and just stares at Hitoshi for a very long moment, mouth agape. Was he hallucinating or. . .?

"Holy shit, man! Did you do all that, " He had to pause, His eyes only sparkling even more. "Hold on, Hold on, Are you one of the select five?!  You know, the ones with the voodoo and stuff?" He wasn't exactly very educated on the idea of the Elites, but he still seemed wicked tripped out by it.

   Shinsou clenched his teeth together. This spunky little bitch. He rights his posture, pulling his hatchet off his belt.

   "Listen here," He pointed it at the buffoon, nothing but confidence in his action. He reeked of 'don't test me bitch-boy' and honestly I'd advise you against it.
"I'm not your fucking 'savior' or some shit," he narrowed his eyes, heavily quoting the word savior with his free hand. "I'm just trying to survive."

     The blonde swallowed thickly, trying to lean away from the weapon. The thing would take his limbs off in a few good and firm blows, 
      "I- Uhm- Come on, Don't be so uptight. I'm tryna do the same thing here too- You can stay if you'd like, I have plenty of supplies to share"
    He offered, just keeping his eyes on the hatchet so if it was swung, he may just be able to duck before his head gets separated from his shoulders.

   "Wise choice," He smirked, clipping the weapon back onto his belt with little effort. It was a nice bunk so he wasn't going to pass it up, "Not gonna lie here, but you're fucking incompetent, so don't complain if I use up all your supplies."

     Denki only sort of laughed at him and shook his head, with a stupidly charming grin, "You won't! The dude who lived here before was really set on saving up for the apocalypse. I've got at least two years worth left. There's a whole comic shop downstairs too, so plenty of entertainment if you want it, man"

Shinsou's eyes narrowed in the slightest, before his hands moved, carving out his words for him. He had suddenly refused to speak at all.

 "Comics are ridiculous. Superheroes? Seriously? Where the hell are they now? Fiction is pointless." he grunted after the sudden sign, seeming offended at the thought of comics being downstairs. Truth was he'd probably live down there, drowning in pages of Catloaf and Boyfriends, until he was relaxed.

     
      Kaminari seemed disappointed. He raised a brow a bit, wondering why he went so silent all of a sudden. But Kaminari internally shrugged it off, He was lucky himself that he spent too much time reading. And a book on sign had come in handy

     "Fiction isn't pointless. If anything, you're a modern superhero with that ubercool voodoo ya' got." He snickered, looking down as a tabby cat twined between his legs. Kaminari reaches down and picks him up, with a bit of deep vocal protest from the ginger tomcat.

    Oh bold move, you'll never see that cat again. Shinsou tried not to display his surprise so openly at the fact the stranger knew sign. He huffed through his nose gently. "Its u-b-e-r annoying. Hand over the cat." he made grabby hands, And Kaminari complied of course. Reaching out and giving up his cat to be held captive by the stranger.

    Kaminari was still grinning though, glad that he wasn't alone. This nameless stranger wasn't the friendliest, but he was company. Nameless. . .Oh, right, He should figure that out. "My names' Denki Kaminari, by the way"

   "Nice," he grumbled verbally, before he took the cat in his arms, scratching behind its ears. He couldn't sign while lavishing the cat with attention. Social skills? Who's she. What? You expected him to give his name to a dumbass? Tch, yeah right!

"And thats Reggie, Reginald actually. . .Erm, What about you? You got a name?" He asked, as he abruptly just sat down on the ground. His stiff left leg was aching, so it would be best to give it a bit of needed rest.

Shinsou couldn't help but snort, finally giving in.
      "Hitoshi Shinsou. I'd say it's a pleasure but it's more a dull ache in my everything." He too plopped down so he could better pet the cat.

He grinned, a dumb grin, though it was cheery as well. "Well, I'll say it then. Its great to formally meet you. . .Don't you think its kinda awesome how we all made it this far, though? I mean. . .I was seven when hell broke loose, was on my own beforehand anyways but I still made it through, and you did too! And the fact I met another survivor as well!"

Shinsou snuffed, looking at the idiot. "I don't think it's cool at all. I think it's unfair and cruel, just waiting for the day we all die or get killed. They should just drop another bomb and snuff us out of our misery."

"Hey, don't talk like that! And besides, who is gonna drop the bomb? There's no government left and god knows how many of us are left!" Okay, Kaminari, Nows your chance to look like a straight male, don't blow it! "Besides, it's up to us now to restart the population"

That only caused Shinsou to look at him like he was even more of an idiot. "Disgusting. . . Let's just go around and rape random females doing their own thing because it's all for the greater good! Until they abort themselves with a coat hanger and ruin their lives or bleed out. Whoo, my favourite!"

Kaminari looked horrified, immediately jumping and throwing his hands up in protest. 
 "Thats not what I meant, You freak! I meant like, You know, Start a relationship, Get to know each other, Then restart the population!"

"So you're gonna look at a female as a chance to restart the population. . . How romantic." Shinsou fake swooned, taking the cats paws and sort of rubbing his thumbs over the tops of them. Massaging the toe beans with his index fingers. "Gosh, Reggie, I don't know how you guys aren't swarmed with ladies. He's such a gentleman."

Thats when Kaminari sort of went off on him. "And gee, you are as well! Women see this-" He gestures to Hitoshi now, in a bit of a mocking tone. ",Big tough guy with a fragile masculinity, and get so wet. Golly, They'd let you walk into their house in a heartbeat, studmuffin. Get a life. . ." He immediately kinda went wide eyed. What he just said might have just gotten himself killed. Whoopsies. . .
