When we got to the lodge, several people were already there. Denki smiled as we walked in, "Whoa this place is awesome."

I nodded, "I've been to places like this when I was little."

He was surprised, "Really?"

I shrugged, "Mom loved skiing, I could never get the hang of it."

He smiled, "I can try to show you."

I shook my head, "I'd rather just watch. I brought the rest of Tokoyami's journals with me so I'll be reading."

He sighed, "Fine, then after we'll hang out."

I nodded, "Yeah, you can go skiing with the guys and I'll stay up here and read."

We checked in with Aizawa and he gave us our room keys. I was right, I'm with Mio, and Denki is shocking with Bakugo.

Denki took my bag to my room before taking his own and we met up in the lobby again.

He smiled as he zipped up his jacket, "I'm meeting Kirishima on the slopes, you'll be good until Mio shows up, right?"

I nodded as I spotted Tokoyami reading by the fire, "I'm gonna sit with Tokoyami and read."

He kissed my forehead, "Okay, I'll be back."

I watched him walk out before plopping down next to Tokoyami, "Whatcha reading?"

His dark eyes glanced at me before returning to his pages, "It's a Stephen King novel."

I held up his journal, "This is my last one."

He smirked, "I'll be sure to bring you a few more but those are going to be the scariest."

I smiled, "Bring it. I love your stories."

He was shocked, "Really?"

I nodded, "You're writing is so good. You're clear, not too wordy, and so imaginative. It's so easy to get lost in these pages."

He smiled, "Thank you."

"Would you ever publish them?"

He sighed, setting the book down, "I don't know. I don't know if they're good enough to publish."

I nodded, "They are."

He smiled, "Thank you. It would be nice to publish them. I appreciate your feedback."

I smiled before opening the journal and continuing where I left off.

The book was getting intense. I couldn't put it down. I think the killer is about to find the protagonist, if he finds her, she's a goner. I like her, she's an artist who just wants her own gallery, I want that for her.

I was just about to get to the part that revealed what was going to happen when the journal was ripped from my hands.

I glared at Mio, "Why'd you do that?"

She shrugged, "I've been trying to talk to you but you're ignoring me."

I took the journal back, moving my bookmark, "Not ignoring, just really into my book."

She took the seat Tokoyami was in, "Is this all you're gonna do while we're here?"

I nodded, "I don't ski, you know that."

She sighed, "Well, neither do I."

I shrugged, "What's Bakugo doing?"

She rolled her eyes, "Participating in the ski competitions."

I nodded, "Of course."

She sighed, "Remember when mom tried to teach us to ski?"

I rolled my eyes, "I fell so much. I hated it. You were pretty good, though."

She nodded, "You wanted nothing more than to read."

I smiled, shaking the book, "Finally got my way."

I leaned on me as I continued reading. It started to get dark by the time I finished. I sighed and laid the book on my lap, "That was good."

Mio sighed as she checked her phone, "Bakugo and Denki are grabbing food on their way back, they're going to meet us in our room."

I nodded, stretching as I stood, "Okay, I'm going up now, I wanna get in my pj's."

She followed me.

When we got there, I grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top, tossing Denki's jacket on my bed first.

When I came back out I almost ran into Mio, "Whoa, Whatcha doing?"

She glared at me, "Did you plan on sneaking out in the middle of the night?"

I raised my brow, "What are you talking about?"

She rolled her eyes, "Oh, you know what I'm talking about. I'm so telling dad when we get home. I can't believe you, my baby sister, I will kill him."

I shook my head, confused, "Mio, what are you talking about?"

Before she could say anything, the door opened and Denki and Bakugo came in with our food.

Mio glared at him, "You!"

Denki raised his brow, fear in his eyes, "Me?"

Before I could stop her, she charged at Denki, shoving him into the wall, "How could you, you little perv?! My dad trusts you, hell, I trusted you! Do you think you're just going to take advantage of my BABY sister? Hell no, I am going to kill you."

She put her hands on his neck to attempt to choke him.

Bakugo tried to pull her off, "Mio, down."

She glared at him, "I'm not a dog."

I helped Bakugo pull her off of Denki, "No, you're more like a cat drenched in water. Let him go! Stop!"

She tried to break away from us, "Let me at him!"

Denki moved as far from her as he could, "What did I do? I didn't take advantage of anyone. Why are you so mad at me?"

She pointed to the bed, "That's your jacket, right?"

We all looked at Denki's leather jacket, the condoms Emi gave me sitting on top. I felt the blush spread over my face. How did she find those?

Denki's eyes went wide and he turned beet red, "It's my jacket but I didn't bring those! I swear! I have no idea how those got there!"

Mio glared, "Do you think I'm stupid? No, low charge, that's your territory! How dare you?!"

My heart raced. I need to say something.

Denki's eyes fell on me, "Maki, please tell her I had nothing to do with those. I swear, I didn't."

I sighed, loosening my grip on Mio, "Mio, he's telling the truth he didn't bring them. I'm the one who put them in the jacket pocket."

Everyone stared at me, eyes wide.

Mio then glared, "Why would you bring condoms on a school trip?!"

I shook my head, "It's not what you think, I didn't mean to. I got them from Denki's mom."

"My mom?!" Denki shouted, clearly irritated.

I sighed, "She just wanted us to be safe if we decided to do anything which we weren't going to."

Mio growled, "I demand to see this woman the second we're back."

I shook my head, "No, she was just trying to be helpful. Do you know how many couples hook up on a trip like this?"

She nodded, "You guys won't be one of them."

Denki shook his head, "We won't. We weren't planning on having sex and it's not going to happen anytime soon. I promise."

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect him to say that.

Mio nodded, "Damn straight you aren't." She sighed as she stood, "I'm so angry I can't even look at you two. I'm eating in Bakugo's room."

She grabbed the food Bakugo had been carrying and walked out. Bakugo sighed and followed her out.

Denki sighed as he sat on the bed, picking up the condoms, "I can't believe my mother gave these to you."

I shrugged, "I think she was just trying to help."

He shook his head, "Helping would be telling us not to have sex, not give us condoms so we could have safe sex."

I rocked back on my heels, "Because you don't want to have sex with me."

I felt self-conscious and wrapped my arms around myself.

He sighed, "I didn't say that."

I shrugged, "You told Mio we weren't going to be having sex."

He nodded, "Right, anytime soon, not that I didn't want to ever."

I chewed on my lip, "So, you do want to have sex?"

He sighed and leaned back, "Maki, do we have to talk about this?"

I took a step closer to him, "I guess not," I stood in front of him, "We don't have to talk."

I got the courage climb in his lap, straddling his hips. He looked up, surprised and I took the opportunity to press my lips against his.

He tried to pull away but I held on, deepening the kiss.

He gave in.

I felt his hands on my thighs, moving up to my hips, squeezing. I felt my heart racing and a tingle from his every touch.

He pulled away, his breathing slightly labored, "Maki…" My name sounded so good coming from his lips.

I lightly kissed him, "Denki…"

He pulled me in for another kiss, I felt his hand move up my sides, his thumbs grazing the sides of my breasts, sending a shiver down my spine.

I ran my fingers through his hair and broke the kiss, trailing light little kisses down to his neck.

I've never felt this. I've read about moments like this. The intensity, the feelings but actually feeling it is so much better. Denki is an amazing kisser, he knows where to put his hands, his lips guide mine perfectly.

I felt his wrap his arms around me tightly, I was closer than I ever have been and I love this feeling.

Before I knew it, he flipped us both, pinning me down, "Maki… Why…"

I pulled him down for a kiss, cutting him off, I don't want rejection.

He melted into the kiss, trailing smaller kisses down to my neck, I felt him kiss a tender spot I didn't even know I had, I couldn't hold back the low moan that slipped through my lips.

I watched his hand clench the pillow beside me as his kisses went lower. I felt the tingle of each kiss as his lips moved across the exposed skin of my breasts, making my heart race faster, I'm suddenly glad I changed into a low-cut tank.

I felt his hand move under my shirt, slowly moving up.

His fingers traced the side of my bra as he kissed the center of my chest, just between my boobs, lightly, soft, sweet kisses.

I felt nothing but excitement.

"Denki!" I heard a knock, breaking my focus, "Maki!"

Denki pulled away, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment.

He went and opened the door, "Hey, Ochako, Momo, what's up?... A campfire, yeah, we'll be down in a bit."

I sat up as he closed the door, leaning on it, "A campfire?"

He nodded, not looking at me, "Yeah, everyone is gathering in about ten minutes."

I took a deep breath, the feelings from his touch still lingered, "Are you okay?"

He looked up at me, finally, and sighed, "Maki, please, don't take this the wrong way, but, I don't want to have sex, here, and now."

I felt the disappointment kick out all of the tingles I was just feeling as I moved to the edge of the bed, "I don't understand. It seemed like you were into it like you wanted it."

He nodded, "I did."

I shrugged, feeling a tear fall, "Then why?"

He sighed and walked ever, kneeling in front of me, taking my hands, "Maki, if you think I'm rejecting you, I'm not. I want you. I want to do what we just did again… I want to go farther but I don't want you too until you're ready and I don't think you are."

He wiped the tear from cheek, "My Buzzy Beautiful Sunshine Nugget, don't push yourself to do things you aren't ready for, I'm not going anywhere. And, when the time is right, we will be together in that way but not here, not on a class trip where your sister could walk in at any second. I respect you far too much for that."

I wrapped my arms around him, "Denki…"

He hugged me tightly, "And make no mistake, I enjoyed every second of what we just did. Had we not been interrupted, I don't think I would've been able to stop myself."

I pressed my forehead to his and took a deep breath, it's a relief to know he isn't going to reject me. I felt my heart warm, I should tell him, it's true and I feel it, he should know, "Denki, I love you."

He paused, shock covered his face for a second, then a smile formed, he stood, wrapping his arms around me, lifting me in a hug.

After he spun me a few times, he set me down, kissing me, "Maki, I am so in love with you, you have no idea."

I couldn't help but smile, that wasn't the reaction I thought he was going have but it's so him.

He hugged me again, tightly, "Maki, I love you so much."

I wrapped my arms around him, "We should get downstairs."

He sighed as he pulled away, "Probably."

He kissed me one more time, "Put on something warmer, it's cold. Meet down there?"

I nodded and watched him leave.

I looked back at the bed, the image of him clenching the pillow stuck in my head. He thinks I'm not ready and who knows if I am but I do know, I want to feel that again.
