conclusions

chapter 10

It was the next day after school. Shinso and Denki were hanging out in Denki's room. Shinso was sitting at the desk and Denki was laying on his bed on his stomach.

Denki's POV

"Hey, I get another letter tonight!" I grin and look towards Shinso and he smiles very lightly. "Hey, since you can never sleep do you wanna stay up with me and we can get it tonight?" I propose. "If you're okay with staying up then sure." I give him a high five and we continue to goof around.

"Can you help me with some of my school work? I don't understand it." He nods and shows me the correct way in under ten minutes. "Thanks!" I warmly smile.

I hear a knock on my door and yell "Come in!" Mina throws the door open and announces it's time for dinner. "What are we eating?" She shrugs and so we head downstairs to find out. 

I honestly have no idea what it was but I still are it nonetheless. "You never hang out with us anymore!" Sero says. "Well then... Shinso can hang out with us too maybe!"

Shinso's POV

I hear Denki suggest that I hang out with them as well, and I guess I'm cool with that except I still want to have sleepovers with Denki. I want to hang out with just him sometimes. He's different from everyone else and my closest friend. Yeah, I have others, but none of them click with me like Denki does.

"Sure." I quietly say. "How are you so tall?" Denki says looking up at me. "Not my fault I'm almost four inches taller than you." His jaw drops and he looks away pretending to be mad. "Who's tallest out of all of us?" Kirishima asks. "Bakubro, you're 5'8, right?" He nods. "I'm 5'7."

Sero says 5'9, Mina says 5'3, Denki says 5'6, and I mutter 5'10. (Don't come at me. He's 5'9 and 3/4 so I'm estimating.) "Damn!" Sero mutters and tosses his fork at his napkin. "Sorry dude, I just wanted to be tallest!" Sero complains, but I'm reality it's probably not a big deal. "Felt that!" Mina says throwing her hands in the air. "I'm the shortest! How do you think I feel!?"

After dinner I head to my room to put on pajamas. I put on one of my cat onesies because they're super cozy, and head to Denki's room. Todoroki catches me and questions me immediately. "Sleepover. Don't say anything otherwise people might make a big deal out of it." Todoroki nods in agreement.

"I realized something." I say as I walk in. "What did you realize?" He asks very curious to hear my answer. "I have 10 friends." I smile with slight courage in my voice. I never thought it would go this well. "Really!? That's awesome!" He says giving me a high five. "You're so supportive." I smile and look at his computer. "Whatcha playin'?" I ask and look at the screen. "Google Music Lab. I'm making an epic song." I not to indicate I understand.

After a few hours of goofing around, we decide to watch a movie. "What movie should we watch?" He asks and goes onto Netflix. "Maybe we could watch Shrek the Musical." I laugh silently after that. His jaw drops and he looks it up. We then watch the best thing ever.

During the movie, I felt a soft thud on my shoulder and looked down to see a very sleepy Denki. I decide to let him sleep until 11:55, so I set an alarm. While I'm setting the timer Denki shifts positions and is now hugging me very tightly. I blush profusely and look down at the sleeping pikachu knockoff.

What if he's my soulmate? I think to myself. Nooo... He can't be.. Or maybe? I push the thoughts away. Not that it would be a bad thing... The whole idea just worried me though.

23:55

My alarm goes off and I wake up Denki. "Huh? What time is it?" He notices our position and gets off of me. "I-I'm so sorry!" He stutters. I just wave a hand at him to say "forget it" and lead him to the elevator. He yawns and remembers it's almost his first week of being sixteen. "Just a few more minutes! I heard a rumor that if you watch you might see your future soulmate deliver the letter." He eagerly jumps up and down.

"I heard if you watch it won't come." I blandly say and lead him to the living room. I may or may not have been telling the truth. You'll never know. After two more minutes, we finally race out the door. He grabs the letter and once we're inside yet again rips it open like a caveman.

It read:
Denki,
Hey. This letter is being written at 3:42 AM. You're in a very light sleep so I have to be quiet. Anyway, I was going through things I had as a kid and found some of my old shirts. You wanted to try them on so I let you and since you're so short they fit. You're about 5'9 now so to say that you fit in my clothes from ten years ago is funny is an understatement. Don't stay up too late.
Love
Your soulmate

"What's the clue?" He asks after I read the letter. "Well if you're 5'9 and the clothes he wore ten years ago fit you, that must mean ten years ago he was... Around 5'9."

"Ohhhh okay!" He smiles. We crawl into bed and decide that since we're now "besties," it's okay for us to sleep in the same bed. He even cuddled up to me and said no homo, when deep down I wanted all the homo.
