Summer Break - Kamishin\Shinkami

4. Enigma

Shinso regretted just leaving like that, but he needed to think.

Why in the world would he kiss me? He could get any other gay guy if he wanted to, since he's just that cute. I've suspected him of liking me for a while now.. maybe this is confirmation of my suspicions? Why would he want me, I'm his total opposite.. I remember back when we didn't know each other so well, he did say I was attractive. I never cared about stuff like that, hell, I didn't even plan on making friends.. this guy's got me freaking out.

He walked past the commons area, and then outside, not entirely paying attention to where he was going as he thought.

His hands were soft.. so were his lips. It almost makes me wanna go back and kiss him again.

He turned on his heel and walked back inside after wandering around for about ten minutes. He opened the door, and the first thing he saw was Bakugo yelling at Denki, and Kirishima trying to hold him back.

Guess they're done fucking, oy vey.

"What are you doing?" Shinso asked Bakugo.

"This stupid idiot kept interrogating me!" He yelled, pointing at Denki.

Shinso looked over at Denki and raised an eyebrow.

"I wanted to know how it went!" Denki said, looking at Shinso.

Shinso scoffed and chuckled. "You're so nosy," He walked over to Bakugo and glared him dead in the eyes.

"Fucking be nice," he started, jabbing his finger to his chest. "you don't know about the crying fit he had earlier, I'll make sure he isn't so invasive, but take a fucking breather." Shinso said through his teeth.

Denki ran up and tapped Shinso. "Don't mention earlier." He requested.

"You fucking cried?" Bakugo said, laughing. "Relax, we barely did anything to you, dunce."

Kirishima put a hand on Bakugo's shoulder. "Okay, okay everyone calm down. This isn't a big deal, and apparently Kaminari wasn't feeling too great, so take it easy, Kats." He interjected.

Denki turned around faced away from them, Shinso and Kirishima noticed he was sniffling.

"Are you okay?! Kats, say sorry," Kirishima said, worry in his tone.

Denki let out a convincing fake sneeze. "No, no it's fine, it's allergy season" he quickly wiped his tears, turned around, and gave them a warm smile.

Shinso squinted, and raised an eyebrow. He wasn't buying it.

Kirishima let out a sigh of relief. Bakugo stood there scowling at Shinso with his arms crossed, muttering profanities under his breath. Shinso looked at the angry boy and scowled back at him. He locked arms with Denki and took him outside.

"Uh.. Bye you two!" Kirishima waved.

Denki waved back as he walked out the door with Shinso. They exited the building and turned a corner. They stopped.

"Why are we here?" Denki asked, tilting his head.

"I know you didn't fucking sneeze in there. I'm gonna try and make you happy."

Shinso took his arm out of Denki's and put his hands in his upper arms. Denki looked down at his arms.

"Toshi? What are you doing-?" Denki asked, a slight blush crept on his face.

It seemed like Shinso had lost awareness of what he was doing when he leaned in close to Denki's face. He paused for a moment to look at his eyes; golden and widened.

Denki shivered when he felt Shinso's mint scented breath hit his face softly. Denki's face was beet red, and his lips were quivering.

Shinso put a hand on Denki's forehead, and used it to tilt his head up; since he was taller. He closed his eyes and kissed him. The kiss lasted about ten seconds, and when Shinso pulled away, Denki stood on his toes and tried to kiss him again, but no no avail, Denki was only a bit taller than his shoulders.

Shinso chuckled. "Sadly, I can't let you do that. I'm not even sure why I did that."

Denki frowned. "What do you mean you don't know why? I mean there's gotta be a reason, you don't just kiss someone for no reason right?"

Shinso shrugged. "I guess it's just cause your lips feel nice, I dunno."

"You sure are confusing," Denki chuckled.

He's such an enigma, there's gotta be more reasoning than that, right? But maybe not.. it's hard to say.

"Oh, also, I'm holding your hand again. They're soft too." Shinso said somewhat demandingly. He took Denki's hand and started walking again.

Denki lagged a bit behind Shinso. He stared at him the entire time they walked, admiring him even though he could only see the back of him; the way the sunlight hit his purple hair and his fair skin, and how well his jacket suited him, and the way he carried himself.

Shinso looked back at Denki, who was completely zoned out. "Pick up the pace, okay?"

Denki snapped out of it. "Right! Sorry," He did as he was told, and sped up until he was beside him. Part of him wanted to be angry that Shinso was leading him on, whether intentional or otherwise, but the other part of him didn't want him to stop.

I wrote this pretty early in the day and if I start on chapter 5 maybe I'll also have it out by today too
