Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
There was only a small break between our first and second year at U.A. I couldn't believe that one year was over already and that we had all passed our exams, too. Our second year would be one of the toughest from what I had heard, but I was absolutely confident that it would be fine. After all I had the best friends I could have ever asked for and the best boyfriend on top of that.
We were spending the short break we had almost exclusively together. Oboro had gone to visit his family over the break, so he had asked both of us to look after his little apartment while he was gone, which meant we had the entire place to ourselves for the entirety of the break.
And we were using that privilege. A lot. I was pretty sure that that was what Oboro had in mind in the first place anyway. I suspected he knew way more of what was going on in all our private lives than he let on and he knew that Shouta wouldn't be able to stay with me in peace and quiet and Shouta's place was out of the question. Oboro just had a way of making things work.
So here we were, just huddled up together on a futon, listening to the rain drumming against the window. Oboro's apartment didn't really have much when it came to heating. There was a little electric heater and a stove that Oboro was always too afraid to use, because he was sure he would accidentally set the place on fire and burn alive. That's why he was suffering from terrible colds as soon as it got cold.
Right now it was getting pretty cold again in the apartment, but Shouta and I were fine, huddled up closely together in our blankets and our futons. We had spent the day playing cards and board games, just staying in, since it had been raining for the third day in a row now and there was no sign it would stop anytime soon.
We had gotten tired earlier and had just napped and now we were lying awake listening to the rain. It was so calming and comforting, hearing the rain outside, knowing I was safe and warm with Shouta.
"What do you wanna do tomorrow?" he asked me quietly. I had no idea why we were whispering, but somehow it made cuddling in the dark with the rain outside just more magical.
"I don't know. Maybe we could go to some museum, if it's still raining. Act all classy and stuff. Pretend to be educated and what not..." I replied with a giggle. Shouta smirked and pulled me closer against his chest.
"Excuse me, but I do consider myself educated, thank you very much." he said and kissed the top of my head.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your fragile ego?" I joked and laughed quietly to myself. Shouta just hummed.
"You're going to jail for that. Right here. You're not getting out of that cuddle." he replied and draped one of his legs over mine, so I really couldn't get away. Not that I wanted to. I was happy right where I was.
"Shou, you think we're always going to be like this? Just... the two of us together and the four of us being friends? Because I can't really think of any other way things could be. This all just seems way too perfect." I muttered. I had no idea where that came from, maybe the rain was making me feel existential.
"Of course, (F/N). We'll stick together, all four of us, no matter what happens. Only difference is that the two of us can get our own place and we won't have to borrow Oboro's place anymore." he said, gently stroking my hair. I buried my face in the nape of his neck, feeling myself dozing off again.
At least until I jumped at a loud rumbling sound. Thunder. Ugh. I could appreciate thunder, sometimes. But it just really startled me everytime and I got a little scared when it got really close.
"Hey, you okay?" Shouta asked me, feeling me wince at the noise. I nodded and moved closer against him.
"Yeah, just got a little startled..." I muttered. I didn't want to admit that thunder scared me a little. It just felt silly, I mean, I was training to become a hero and a little thunder scared me? Ridiculous.
I couldn't help wincing again when another loud rumble was audible, pretty close this time. Shouta looked down at me, my lip trembling slightly and my eyes darting around the room, instinctively trying to make out the source of the loud noise. I realized I had been holding my breath and slowly exhaled.
"(F/N)... are you scared of the thunder?" Shouta asked gently and looked into my eyes. I looked away, ashamed.
"M-maybe a little. Just when it's really close. Sorry, it's really dumb." I replied. He pulled me closer, slowly rubbing my back.
"Ssh, no. It's fine. Nothing to be ashamed of. Come on, I'm here. It'll all be good, okay?" he told me, peppering kisses all over my face. I relaxed a little in his arms. He always managed to comfort me somehow.
"Thanks, Shou. I dunno, I just think it's such a dumb thing to be scared of... " I replied. He shook his head.
"It's not. Stop saying that. Hizashi is scared of bugs, and they're much less likely to kill you than thunder and lightning." he said.
I smiled, but then jumped again, as there was the rumbling of thunder again, this time really close and really loud, as if it was right next to us. I could also see the lightning illuminating the room through the blinds, Shouta's eyes fixated on me, looking at me as if I was the only thing that existed in the world.
"Sorry..." I whispered. He just shook his head again and kissed the top of my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me, pressing our lips together in a gentle kiss.
Well, gentle at first, until it got more heated, more passionate. I almost completely forgot about the thunder with Shouta's lips on mine and his hands entangled in my hair, pulling me closer.
Well, I almost forgot, until there was another sound of thunder, close and loud again. I gasped against Shouta's lips, as I shook again, but he just held me close to him, protectively and I had never felt safer during a thunderstorm. He was carefully rocking me back and forth.
"Ssh, it's all good. Don't worry, I've got you, baby. Do you want me to get you anything? Tea, an extra blanket? Want me to close the blinds?" he asked, running his thumb over my cheek gently.
I shook my head quickly. I didn't want him to leave me here, I wanted him right here with me, holding me and telling me that everything would be okay. I loved feeling so close to him and so protected.
"No, please stay with me." I said. He nodded.
"Alright, baby girl, I'm not going anywhere." he replied.
"Thank you. I really like you holding me like that. It makes me feel safe. You make me feel safe, Shou." I admitted.
"R-really?" he asked, sounding surprised.
"Yeah, really. I mean it." I answered, shifting a little, as I carefully nuzzled my head against his chest.
"I'm glad. I'm glad you feel safe with me." he told me. I could hear it in his voice, he was relieved to hear it.
"Never felt safer in my life..." I mumbled, as I felt myself drifting off to sleep again. There was the rumbling of the thunder again, but this time it was distant and it didn't startle me as much.
Shouta didn't say anything, but just kissed the top of my head and rested his chin on top of my head. Everything else seemed more like a haze, there was more lightning, more distant thunder, at some point Shouta asked me something and I answered, but I had no recollection of it the next morning. I just knew I felt warm and protected that night and at least somewhat certain about the future.
