While You Were Busy Being Heterosexual, We Studied The Blade. (BNHA Chatfic)

Ch. 25- Tamaki Drinks the Tea Kirishima Spills

Shinsou's POV

I have to admit, I'm feeling much better today. I don't feel as nervous around Ojirou (though there is a lingering pain in my chest and stomach but I can ignore it), I'm well rested-ish(?) and We've got a whole day to ourselves to just... hang out, I guess. And the two of us are acting really flirty for some reason? ImeanIkindalikeitbut- it's a little odd, I guess.

"Anything you want to do first?" He smiles warmly over at me. I think and look away slightly as my cheeks start to flush.

"Breakfast sounds nice, though I'm not sure I can eat too much."

"Good, it means you have to pay less."

"That's... a weird way of looking at it."

"I'm basically broke, I have to find ways to save money."

"You could always take up stripping to pay the bills." I wink at him and he just stares at me incredulously with pursed lips, soon turning away with a red face. Whether it was from embarrassment or anger is a mystery.

"You'dliketoseethatwouldn'tyou-l

"What?-"

"-What? Let's find a place to eat!" He changes the subject quickly and pulls out his phone. I just glare at him and look back ahead of us, letting myself get lost in thought.

So... what the hell is happening to me? Why did I have that bad of an attack? How did I even??? I mean, I'm better around Ojirou, that's for sure, but this pain in my stomach and chest are just growing worse and worse, and it's gradually getting harder to ignore it. It doesn't feel like before, not like I'm going to vomit up my guts, it's just... painful. Hopefully it won't get too out of hand so I don't have to avoid him the whole day, but it's still an unnerving feeling... and the more I think about it, the more nervous I get and the more painful it is. And I plan to actually ask him to the dance today... what if he says no? He'll most likely say no. With how much I've been avoiding him, he probably will. He doesn't like me, never did, never will. It's just-

"-I think I found a place!" He snaps me out of my nerve-wracking trance. As soon as I look back at him, I notice my stomach twist and my chest hurts a lot. Goddammit no... not again. I can't avoid him this time, no matter how excruciating it gets, I'll just ignore it... I can ignore it... maybe, hopefully. For him I can at least try.

"What'd you find?"

"It's a diner nearby, called the 'Blue Moon Diner'. Apparently it was originally in America but a restaurant was built here."

"Cool, how far is it?"

"From where we are now, about a 10 minute walk."

"Wonderful. Let's go." He nods at me and we change directions. Great, 10 whole minutes of just awkward silence and walking. Oh yeah! And body pain... wooo, today really just is my day, isn't it?

I look over from the corner of my eye, and see Ojirou just looking down at his phone. He looks so relaxed and peaceful. He radiated an amazing and calming sort of warmth, one that rivaled my tense expression. It was almost enough to reassure me, almost. But I couldn't help but keep reverting back to the thought of him saying no, him hating me, the overwhelming pain in my body, how the dance will even play out... I'm not the smoothest or most social person, in case you couldn't tell. So I have almost no idea of what I'm doing... I almost completely forgot about my planned confession, and I'm behind on my guitar lessons! I need to practice twice as much today with Jirou, or maybe Tokyo. Hopefully I can get away from Ojirou long enough to-
