Shinkami - think I'm into you

The early risers

Shinso's pov

I wake up to a blaring alarm from my phone. Lovely. But I kind of need it otherwise I'd sleep in. I tend to have a bad habit of staying up late. Whether I'm watching anime or reading books or texting friends in a different Timezone, there's always something keeping me up.

I get up and trudge to the other side of the room, where my alarm is. If I had it right next to my bed, I'd just turn it off and go back to sleep. Now that I'm reasonably awake, I go for a shower, and then get changed into the uniform.

I'm just about to open the door to my dorm (to go downstairs and have a coffee), when someone knocks really loudly, causing me to jump.

"Who is it?" I ask cautiously.

"It's kami."

I have to think for a second, before I remember the bright yellow ball of energy I met yesterday, and open the door.

"What do you want?"

"I was just seeing if you're awake!" So much goddamn energy.

"Do you do this for all your friends," I grumble.

"Nope. Just you."

I know I shouldn't, but him saying that makes me feel special to him, and I feel my face flush. Goddamn it.

"Great. No one to share my pain with."

"You can share your pain with me," he whines, pouting, which makes me laugh, which in turn makes him grin.

"I don't think you could ever sympathise or understand the inner workings of Satan's servant, when you're a godly angel."

That was too much. Definitely flirting. Too far. He's going to notice and hate me now.

But he just laughs.

"I don't think your Satan's servant. And I'm no angel. I have dark secrets you know." He grins mischievously. All I can hear is my heart in my ears, and I wouldn't be surprised if my face was going red. I can't tell if he's flirting back or just being friendly, and it's literally killing me.

"Oh is that so? Like what?"

He falters for a second and he seems almost... confused? No, more startled.

"Uuuh... I sneak bags of chips into the dorms."

I stare at him for a moment of awkward silence.

"You're a dumbass," I laugh. His grin returns.

"That is the truest thing you've said all morning."

Denki's pov

Spending time with shinso is fun. Once you get past the hard exterior (which wasn't actually that hard on reflection), he's a really cool guy.

I can't stop thinking about when he complimented me and called me an angel. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. No ones ever complimented me like that before, but the way shinso said it as if it were completely true filled me with happiness.

And then I just had to go on about the 'dark secrets'. Usually everyone brushes it off, so shinso asking me about it caught me off guard. We were in such a good mood, I didn't want to ruin it.

You don't have a conversation like that and then just go "I hate my quirk for more than just the fact I go braindead. Guess why?" No matter how you put it, it's not really that great.

And then we go down to the kitchen and he immediately goes straight for the coffee.

"You needa sleep more," I point out as he pours the milk.

"No shit Sherlock."

"Do you have troubles getting to sleep or something?"

"No. I just get distracted. Forget to sleep, I guess."

"How can you forget to sleep?! It's not that hard to remember to do it!"

He shrugs, then takes his coffee over to the couch in front of the television, and takes a sip.

"I'm still alive aren't I? So what does it matter?"

"What does it matter?!" I exclaim "only to you health! Your safety! Your relationships! Your mental well-being!"

He pauses for a second.

"Yeah that makes sense."

"THEN SLEEP MORE."

"Nah I'm good."

I sigh, then turn back into the kitchen. I think I need a coffee too.

"WHICH OF YOU SHITTY EXTRAS WAS DOING ALL THE YELLING." Bakugo swaggers in, holding his head. Hangover I'm guessing.

"Oi bakugo how many hours of sleep do you need to become a good hero?" I know that bakugo is extremely healthy with everything. Food, water, exercise, so he'd surely know that sleep was important.

"9 hours tops. No less than 7. 8 is ideal. Why do you wanna know!"

"Shinso, how many hours of sleep do you get each night?"

He scrunches up his face, which makes me laugh, before answering.

"I don't know, like 4?"

"Your funeral extra!" Bakugo yells from the kitchen, making his own coffee.

We're in high school. We like coffee.

I sit down next to shinso and look at him.

"You look like you're about to drop dead!" I accentuate my point by mimicking how I think he looks, making a dying sound in the back of my throat and flopping onto his shoulder, pretending to be dead. He stiffens underneath me, but I ignore it.

"He finally carked it, took long enough," Bakugo walks into the room and sits down on another couch smirking.

I sit up and huff, crossing my arms. Bakugo can actually be pretty fun when he's in a good mood.

"KATSUKI!!!!" I hear from across the room. Panic sweeps over bakugos features as he hurries to put down his coffee. As soon as he does, a bundle of red launches through the air and lands on him.

"You're reflexes are super manly Kats," the red bundle says.

I raise my eyebrows at Bakugo for the first name basis between him and Kirishima.

He glares at me and then rolls his eyes.

"Shut up shitty hair, I was trying to enjoy my coffee."

"Awwwwww katsuki I thought you loved meeeeeeee."

I snorted, and Bakugo glares at me again, completely red in the face.

"Yeah yeah whatever, go hug pilaxhu he's looking pretty lonely."

"Kamiiiiiii, my brooooooo."

I stand up and stretch out my arms to match his.

"Kiriiiiiiiiii, my brooooooo."

We have a quick hug, whacking each other on the back. Over kiris shoulder, I poke my tongue or at Bakugo, and then seeing the anger inside him bursting at the seams, I screech and run as fast as I can away, hearing the small pops of his warmup explosions not far behind.

"So much energy," I hear shinso comment to Kirishima as the watch us run around.

I don't even need to look to know that kiri simply nodded in agreement.

Hehe. 4 chapters published in one day! Not to bad ey? I feel like no one really wants to read a book with only one chapter, so I waited until I had written 4 before publishing. Well, 3, and then I wrote a 4th. Hopefully I'll update more. It'll be funny if no one reads this though lol. Comment if you read all the way to chapter 4 and I'll like, acknowledge you when I become rich and famous or something.

See ya later!
