“Okay, I admit, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. But what- I repeat- what mistake landed me next to you, when I was going to sit by Yaoyorozu for this eight-hour train ride?”
“Beats me, I was gonna sit with Kirishima, man. You don’t mind being around me, right?”
One of Jirou’s lengthy earlobes slithered into Kaminari’s bushy hair and settled in a particularly thick patch. “One more crack out of you, Kaminari, and I’ll plug this in and use my soundwaves to turn your brain to mush.” She sighed and removed it. “Then again, it already is mush, so nothing to do here.”
“H-Hey!” He spluttered, looking visibly affronted. “I- I…” He opened his mouth and let out a huge yawn. “The sun’s in my eyes, Jirou, can I pull the window shutter down?”
“Doesn’t matter,” she replied, pulling her phone out of her pocket and turning it on. “I don’t want to be rude or anything, so, uh, I downloaded a chess app. Let’s play.”
“Bring it,” he said, but without his usual energy. Jirou looked into his eyes, and noticed he was blinking more than usual. He’s probably just sleepy, she thought, launching the app and holding it out.
“You make the first move.”
He moved a pawn forward two spaces. Jirou retaliated by moving her knight. He moved another pawn. She noted the empty spaces he left, and advanced a pawn. His finger slid across her phone aimlessly, and something landed on her shoulder with a soft fwup.
Upon closer inspection, it proved to be his head. Kaminari Denki had fallen asleep on her shoulder, snoring, a small trickle of drool flowing down his chin.
Jirou checked the time on her phone before shutting it off. It was 10:20 PM.
Jeez, it’s so early, man…
But he looks kind of cute like this.
She yawned, picked up Kaminari’s limp arm, and used it to wipe his face before feeling the need to shut her eyes for just a few seconds…
Jirou woke up to the sensation of a hand on her shoulder. Still drowsy, she opened her eyes. Her head was lying on something that felt suspiciously like… fabric? Fabric with a layer of flesh under it.
“Hey, it’s six, sleepyhead,” Kaminari said, his eyes wide open, boring into hers.
“Waah!” She jolted up and quickly hit him.
“Ow! Hey, what was that for?”
“That’s for being a freaking creep!”
“Hey, it was you who was asleep on me when I woke up!” Snickering, he put his phone in his pocket. “But, yo, it was worth it.”
“You- did you take pictures? You’re the worst!”
