Denki was panting by the time he ran up the steps to his room. He needed a moment to process the fact that he spent the last hour and a half freaking cuddling with the insomniac of his dreams- a play of words that Kaminari found unintentionally witty. He mentally patted himself on the back as he locked his door.

His lap was so comfy and his chest was so warm and I could feel his hard muscles and ohhhhh maaaan I'll be jerking off to that memory for the next ten years.

This only served to remind Denki just how consuming this crush was, and how badly he wanted to confess. He had spent most of the movie psyching himself up to do it but got cold feet at the last second.

His phone vibrated in his pocket and he pulled it out to see Ashido had texted him. He sighed upon reading it.

My Pink Babe: Did you ask him out yet?

You: u were there the whole time! i was 2 busy dying to say anything

My Pink Babe: I thought we agreed you'd do it tonight! Get your perky little ass over there ! (*`д´*)

You: u kno im weak to your angry faces thats cheating!

My Pink Babe: (*`д´*) (*`д´*)(*`д´*) (*`д´*)(*`д´*) (*`д´*)

You: ok ok ok you got me. ill go say something but when im crying forever u have to comfort me (╥_╥)

My Pink Babe: He'll say yes. Now go get him!

You: ⌒Ｙ⌒Ｙ⌒Ｙ⌒Ｙ⌒ ヾ(oﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

Denki shoved his phone back into his pocket and took a deep breath to calm him.

It didn't work.

Kaminari had clearly learned the skill of cornering from his time with the squad, and he thanked them mentally for teaching him. With this ability he managed to catch Shinsou as he was closing his door for the night. Kaminari threw himself in front of it and tried his best to play it cool.

"Hey bro, um, can I come in for a sec?"

He had definitely startled Shinsou, but if Kaminari didn't know him so well it would have looked like his tired face hadn't moved an inch.

"Sure?" the taller boy let him in and moved close to pull the door shut behind them.

Oh man oh man oh man.

"What's wrong?" Shinsou was noticeably concerned. Which he would have thought was sweet if Denki wasn't currently preoccupied with having a panic attack.

"Why does something have to be wrong? I can't just check up on my buddy?"

"You abandoned your later plans with Sero, your hands are shaking, and I can see the static start to stick up your hair."

"Oh, right. Heh. Yeah."

Shinsou now looked legitimately worried and that made it all the harder to talk to him. Just say it. Kaminari took in a deep breath, looked up towards the puzzled boy, and started to speak.

"So, I can't handle this any longer and I'm just gonna say it. I like you. Like, like like you. I mean I like you normally too, but also in a gay way. Fuck, I totally botched that up. I had this really cool speech planned that I practiced with Mina. Can I start over?"

"Excuse me?" A very confused set of purple eyes met his own.

The blonde boy expected this much, if not an even more negative reaction. It felt way too late to double back and try again, but here goes nothing.

"Just think of the bonuses! I'm good at petting your hair the way you like. I can totally help you handle dealing with everyone in class. I've been told I'm so good at hugs that it's an art. You'd even have a free phone charger 24/7, and that's pretty awesome, right?"

Fuck fuck fuck stop talking you fucked it up. Abort mission!

Denki was sure he looked absolutely crushed but he hoped that he could at least salvage their friendship now that he'd ruined his chances for a relationship with the boy he'd come to adore like no other. The silence from the other was pretty telling. He let out a heavy sigh.

"It's cool. I'm happy just getting my feelings across, you know?" Kaminari knew he was smiling but his eyes looked full of hurt, and he could feel tears start to pool. "Actually that's a lie. I'll be super bummed out and crazy embarrassed later so I hope you say yes or my death will totally be on your hands."

Shinsou paused and looked contemplative. Kaminari's heart stopped. He squeezed his eyes shut- can't say I didn't try - and braced himself for the other's inevitable rejection. After a beat he hesitantly opened one eye to see Shinsou's response.

"Well, I'd hate to be the cause of your death. Guess we'll just have to date."

"It's fine. I get it. I won't bother you about it agai- wait, what?"

Kaminari's face was the definition of shocked. Shinsou took this in stride the way he managed to do with everything.

"Are you unfamiliar with the word? I thought you just asked me out."

"I did! I just totally didn't expect that to work though, holy shit. I didn't plan this far ahead! What am I supposed to do now?!"

Shinsou knew. Before Kaminari had fully registered what had happened the other boy leaned down, sweetly cupped his face with both hands to guide him up, and kissed him.

Whoa.

Shinsou's lips were much softer than the blonde had imagined them- and Kaminari had imagined them very often. He'd be self-conscious about how chapped his lips probably were from him biting them, but at this moment he couldn't possibly focus on anything but the wonderful kiss he was getting. He felt static start to spark between his fingers as he raised them to rest gently on Shinsou's chest. It was just a simple press of lips but Kaminari couldn't have been happier. They parted slowly.

"Dude."

"Don't call your boyfriend 'dude,' Denki."

Shinsou was using his first name and calling him his boyfriend? Unfair.

"Then can I call you Hitoshi?"

"Yeah. I like the sound of my name in your mouth." Shinsou winked. Actually freaking winked.

Holy shit.

"You're smooth as fuck! How did this happen? You wouldn't even talk to me half the time."

"I guess you bring it out in me."

Oh yeah. Denki is definitely in love. Game over.

Kaminari lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Shinsou's neck. Drawing him down into a more sensual lip lock than before. Shinsou let out a small moan at the other's sudden affection. Kaminari lingered in the kiss happily for a while before he pulled back panting.

"You know you can't show this side of you to anyone but me now, right? After all, I'm your boyfriend now."

Shinsou had the most wonderful small smile on his face as he answered:

"Yeah. Yeah, you are."
