Ch. 8

hanae got him with a genuinely happy smile on her face, making her way to the kitchen for dinner. with her dad gone to work as a sidekick, it was only hanae and her mom in the house. when her mom saw hanae, she gave her a questioning look and set the plate of soba in front of her daughter.

"you seem happy, does this have anything to do with your new friends," her mom asked while setting a plate for herself down as well. it was rare to see hanae that happy, especially when it came to after school activities. that last time she was so happy while at dinner was second grade, and that was a considerable time ago. hanae nodded eagerly and gave her mom a bright smile.

"yeah! i can't wait for you to meet them ama! mina is hilarious, i mean she's got pa's sense of humor. sero is always saying something to start a debate, which is pretty funny. kirishima is really sweet and such a gentleman, and denki! oh man i can't wait for you to meet him. he's so goofy but sweet at the same time, and his jokes are enough to make even bakugo laugh!" as hanae rambled on, her mom had a small smile. her friends seemed great, but she couldn't help but notice how much her daughter seemed to like that denki kid.

later that night, as hanae was getting ready for bed, she felt her phone buzz slightly in her back pocket. she grabbed it and stared at the notification, a small smile growing on her face as she read the text.

(***)***-**** :
hey! it's kaminari :) btw
aizawa totally has a cat

she let out a small giggle as she typed out her response. she hadn't expected him to actually text her, and for some reason it made her stomach churn and her heart flutter. she almost furrowed her eyebrows at that feeling but pushed it aside, convincing herself that she was just excited to finally have a friend that she could text and hang out with other than tokage.

hanae:
hey! and no he does not! he
has a dog and that's that

she grinned at his determination and started getting ready for bed while texting him the whole time. every text made her smile grow as she took off her makeup and changed into her pajamas. eventually, she was in bed and curled up while staring at the screen of her phone. their conversation had shifted from aizawa's choice of pets to their quirks. denki seemed amazed with that fact that hanae could manipulate any liquid she had in her proximity while hanae couldn't wait to see denki electrocute something or someone.

a few blocks away, denki kaminari sat on a beanbag in his room, a goofy grin adorning his face as he texted probably his favorite person in the world right now. he couldn't help but get excited every time her name popped up on his phone screen, his heart rate accelerating. his mom noticed the funny behavior from her son, smiling when he described the girl he had grown so close with so suddenly.

as he too got into bed, the conversation continued between the two. denki's grin never left his face as he continued to text hanae terrible memes and cheesy jokes, eventually falling asleep with his phone in his hand.
