Ch. 17

the next day was thankfully a saturday, so hanae attempted to get up later. unfortunately, her biological clock woke her up at 6 on the dot, so she just laid in bed, scrolling through her apps on her phone. then, she got a text from kaminari.

sparky:
good morninggggg!
so i was wondering if you maybe
wanted to go out somewhere?
like a park or the arcade?

hanae grinned at the text, biting her lip with butterflies in her stomach as she typed out her reply to the electric boy.

waterbender:
ofc! i wanna try out a
cute cafe near your place,
is that okay?

sparky:
yeah! i'll see you at 9 :D

hanae giggled and stretched her body out, hearing the pops of her bones as she sighed. she then made her way into the bathroom, scrubbing her teeth as clean as humanly possible. afterwards, she contemplated what to do with her hair. she could always do a small braid on the side. her hair was just long enough to pull back, but she hated when it didn't frame her face. she thought it made her look like an egg. so instead, she straightened the wavier pieces of hair and made a small braid pulling back the hair from one side of her face. then, she did very minimal makeup, but she made sure to cover the acne on her chin. she then rushed to check the time on her phone. it was already 8, leaving her with just over half an hour to get ready. so she tossed on some black leggings, a blue long sleeve crop top, and some black sneakers. she then grabber her keys and made her way to the door.

"ama, pa, i'm going out with a friend," hanae yelled out before heading out. she walked down the street with a smile, texting denki the whole way to the cafe. when she got there, denki already had a seat for them outside on the terrace. he was wearing a white t-shirt with black jeans and yellow vans. hanae couldn't help but notice how his strong arms were hugged by the fabric of the shirt. she sat on her chair across the table with a blush as she waved at him.

"hey," she murmured, picking up the menu and looking at the coffees and pastries. she ended up just ordering a hot chocolate and banana crepe. denki ordered a large caramel frappuccino and a banana muffin. the two looked at each other and hanae couldn't help but let out a nervous giggle. that in turn made denki chuckle nervously as well. just as hanae was about to say something, denki ended up opening his mouth.

"so uh, i never really got to tell you what i thought of you last night outside of the arcade. so i thought this would be a good time," denki said, avoiding eye contact with hanae and instead looking at the beautiful flowers lining the walls of the coffee shop. hanae just nodded and watched as the blonde prepares himself for whatever it was he was about to say.

"hanae, i think you're the most beautiful girl i've ever laid my eyes on. i mean, your eyes are absolutely gorgeous, even if you don't think they are. and your hair is just perfect for you, i mean it suits your personality and face perfectly. you have a strong yet feminine body, and yet even through all the training, your hands stay as soft as ever. you have such a hilarious sense of humor, i mean i don't know anyone else who sends me memes at three in the morning like you do, or who'll text me right before bed to ask if sausages are just steak dicks. but if your sense of humor astounds me, your kindness and sincerity make me speechless. you always check in on me, even when i'm fine. during the USJ attack, you stepped in for all might when we were all too scared to. and you always put others before you. i guess what i'm trying to say is that i like you, so so so much. and not in a best friends way. in a 'i can't see my future without you in it' type of way."

by the time denki had finished his rant, hanae was left utterly speechless with tears in her eyes. she couldn't believe someone as amazing as denki kaminari thought so highly of her. so, she did what any rational girl would do after being confessed to with a list of everything great about her. she let her eyes flutter shut and she leaned in, gently placing her lips on his. denki's heart nearly stopped as her lips touched his, and he quickly kissed back, a smile forming on his lips. before hanae knew it, she was smiling too and when they finally pulled away from each other, a huge smile was on both of their faces and the two were a blushing mess.
