We made our way through the door, Mio immediately threw herself on the couch, flipping on the TV, "Wanna watch some TV?"
I sighed, sitting in dads oversized recliner, letting it swallows me, "Sure."
She scrolled through some shows before landing on Criminal Minds.
We watched a few episodes and my eyes got heavy. I'm starting to get tired.
It wasn't long before I knocked out.
When I woke up, I was in my own bed.
I smiled, I love that some things never change.
I stood, changing out of my uniform and into a fresh set of pj's.
I laid back in bed, grabbing my phone. I had a few messages from the group chat:
Jiro: Bakugo, I looked over your list. We can't do heavy metal. I don't think Tool is in Maki's vocal range.
Bakugo: You guys are just lame, not up for the challenge.
Denki: Pick others songs man.
Tokoyami: Even I picked out things that would suit Maki.
Bakugo: -_- fine.
I shook my head, laughing slightly.
I looked at my other messages. Dad sent an I love you. Mio sent me links to some funny videos.
And lastly, a message from Denki:
Denki: Hey!
Denki: I can't believe Bakugo's choices .
Denki: Text me later!
I wondered if I should text him back. It's kind of late, it's almost midnight.
Maybe he's up late.
Me: Hey, sorry, I fell asleep watching TV. :/
I threw my phone down and laid on my bed, sighing, maybe I should go back to bed.
My phone buzzed. I didn't expect a response.
Denki: It's cool! I hope you slept grat! :D
Denki: Great!
I smiled at his typo:
Me: Alright, it was nice to fall asleep in the living room and wake up in bed.
Denki: Do you sleepwalk?!
I let out a laugh louder than I had intended:
Me: No, just a strong dad.
Denki: Oh… duh stupid me.
Me: You're not stupid.
Denki: I kinda am
Me: Don't say those things about yourself.
Denki: But it's true
Me: No, it's not. I refuse to believe it.
Denki: You're so nice
Me: I am merely an honest soul
Denki: You sound like some old-timey writer lol
Me: :P Where for art thou my blanket
Denki: lol, I don't know what that means but I'll pretend I do.
Me: Lol, you're so silly.
Denki: :D I try
I ran my fingers through my hair, I never thought the the day would come where I'm casually talking to Denki Kaminari. My heart is soaring.
Denki: I'll let you get some sleep! Have a wonderful night! Let the moon bless you with the best of dreams!
Me: Thanks, you too. I'll see you tomorrow.
I curled up in bed, smiling thinking of how life has taken such a turn.
It wasn't long before I was out.
I didn't dream but it was a pleasant rest.
"Wake up! We slept in! We're late!"
My eyes shot open, "What?!"
Mio looked panicked, "It's halfway through first period."
I sighed and look at my phone, I had a few messages in the group chat and some from Denki.
Mio laid next to me under the covers, "Should we just text dad to call us in sick."
I shrugged, "You know he's going to want to come home and take care of us."
She nodded, "That's true. Maybe if we tell him it's feminine troubles he won't try to come home."
I tossed the idea around in my head and nodded, "Sounds like a good idea. You can call him."
She rolled her eyes, digging her phone out. She rolled over and pulled out her best 'poor me' voice. She wasn't on the phone for very long.
She rolled back, "We're good but dad is bringing pads and chocolate home later tonight."
I nodded, "So, no downside."
She curled up and closed her eyes, going back to a deep slumber.
I pulled out my phone going through my messages:
Jiro: So, I'm out sick for the day but it'll give me some more time to work on the music.
Tokoyami: Make sure to take some time to rest. Feel better.
Jiro: Thanks.
Bakugo: Lame.
Denki: FEEL BETTER!
I smiled and went to Denki's messages:
Denki: Goooooood morning!
Denki: I can't find my uniform tie '.
Denki: If I wore a tie with thunderbolts on it, do you think anyone would notice?
Denki: I'm off to school! Do you need a ride?
Denki: Are you sick too?! Jiro isn't here and neither are you and Mio!
Denki: I hope you're okay Maki!
Me: Hey, sorry, I was still asleep. Mio and I are taking the day off.
Denki: Are you okay?
Me: Yeah, we're okay. We just slept too late.
Denki: Oh good, do ya need anything?
I couldn't help but smile:
Me: No, but thank you. I think I'm going to get some more sleep.
Denki: Sleep well!
I curled up closer to Mio, she's warm.
It wasn't long before I was out.
I woke up to an empty bed. I could hear the TV in the living room.
I trudged out, letting dads' recliner eat me, "How long have you been up?"
She shrugged, "A while. I've just been binging some TV."
I yawned, snuggling in, "How'd you sleep?"
"Not long enough."
I rolled my eyes, "It's never enough for you."
She shrugged, "It's facts."
I sighed and checked my phone:
Jiro: Hey, guys, so, it looks like I'm out the rest of the week. Strep.
Bakugo: K.
Tokoyami: I'm sorry, I hope you feel better.
Denki: whats strep O.o
Jiro: It's not fun.
Denki: Then count me out.
I shook my head. He probably knows what strep throat is but didn't realize what she meant.
I opened my text thread with Denki. He hadn't sent anything else.
Me: How's class?
I bit my lip as I waited for his text back. This is the first time I'm texting him first.
Denki: BORING im ready for a nap
Me: Good luck with that… the second you try, Mr. Aizawa will catch you.
Denki: I know!
Me: There are only a few hours until the school day is over then nap time!
Denki: It's sooo far
Denki: Hey! How are you feeling?
Me: I'm good, well rested.
Denki: I'm glad!
I thought of his goofy grin when he's happy but in a second, I thought about the sadness from yesterday as well.
Me: How are you feeling today?
Denki: I'm… okay hehe
Me: That doesn't sound so sure.
Denki: I'm fine! Don't worry about me!
Me: Denki Kaminari
Denki: Don't say my full name like that ? ?makin' me feel like I'm in trouble
Me: I'll say it again.
Denki: Nooooo ?
Me: Denki
Denki: Dooonnnnttttt doooooo iiiittttt
Me: Kaminari
Denki: Ugh! I'm good promise.
Denki: Wait
Denki: I'm not
Me: Why?
Denki: Aizawa said the chapter test is next week and it's a large chunk of our grade ? If I fail my parents won't let me be in the band ?
I couldn't stop the frown from forming. He can't be in the band. That would really suck. I don't know if the band would even be a thing if he can't be in it.
Thoughts jumped back forth in my head, trying to decide what I could do. I've done the chapter work. I already know the gist of what will be on that test but studying wouldn't hurt.
Me: I can study with you.
Denki: Really?! I don't know ?
Me: Why?
Denki: Momo tried helping me study… she said I was gonna give her brain cancer.
Me: I can handle it. I promise.
Denki: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah.
I heard Mio sigh, "Ochako just texted me, we're getting tested on the chapter review."
I nodded, "I know, I just volunteered to help Denki study for it."
Her jaw dropped, "What?! Is that who you've been texting over there?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
She leaned forward, "And?"
I shrugged, "I think he agreed."
She smiled, something going on in the back of her mind.
I rolled my eyes.
For the rest of the day, we just relaxed, and when Dad got home, he was as silly as usual.
The next day, we managed to wake up in time.
When we got to school, I was shocked that our absence was noticed.
Ochako smiled at us, "I'm glad you two are okay!"
Before more could be said, we heard an ugly giggle from the front of the class.
I looked up and saw Mineta staring at Mina as she leaned on Hagakure's desk.
Tsu kicked Mineta down the desk aisle, "Mineta, go away."
As he went down, he knocked over Bakugo's things, dumping his bag.
The class erupted in laughter as we watched a romance novel fall from his bag.
I looked to Bakugo, his face frozen.
Mio stood grabbing the book, "That's where my book went! Did I leave it in your car?"
Bakugo blinked at her before regaining composure, "Uhh, yeah, stop leaving your things in my car! It's not your storage bin! Dumbass."
I was confused. She hasn't been in his car recently, the one time I can think of, she didn't have a book with her.
I raised my brow at her.
She shook her head. She will tell me later.
Yeah, this is getting so complicated.
