Heartfelt Gratitude

Summary:

You pushed yourself to the point where you forgot everything else that wasn't academics related.

But Kaminari kept you grounded. He was the light of your life.

Work Text:

i. good luck

A quiet and cozy coffee shop was the only place you could actually get work done at. Studying for your classes wasn't impossible, but it sure felt like it as the seconds faded into minutes which transitioned into hours and days of reading the same few paragraphs and listening to the same boring lectures over and over and over again.

You couldn't help but let out a sigh as you took off your headphones, and leaned back in the chair. You stretched out, extremely tired from leaning over the table to scribble down notes. But upon leaning back, you see the familiar scribbles of your dear friend and a cup of tea.

"Good luck, [F/N]-chan! c:"

When you glanced up and over to the service bar, the blonde haired boy gives you a bright smile and a small wave of the hand and you smiled, "Thanks, Kaminari-kun."

ii. destress

Sometimes, it was nice having someone that supported you through thick and thin. And in your case, Kaminari was the light in your life that you'd always be grateful to. The boy was cheerful, energetic, and although he may not have been as book smart as you are, he was still a great friend.

Occasionally, when his shift wasn't too busy, he and Midoriya would stop by to help both of you study, although it ended up with Midoriya teaching you and you teaching Kaminari. But you wouldn't mind, it was that small change in your dull study routine that made you so thankful to him, for just his presence alone was able to get rid of the tension that caused your shoulders to be stiff and your mood to be sour.

Every now and then he'll tell you take breaks, to spoil yourself after all the hard work you've done, but even then you don't think you deserve it. So when he stops by with a cookie or two and practically shoves it into your mouth, you agree with him. 

Maybe you should take a break once in a while, especially if it meant that he'd shower you with this much love and care.

iii. award

You could do nothing more than pray that you did well, but upon entering the dorm room that you were expecting to be empty, a cacophony of sounds erupts as soon as you step into the room. You flinched, eyes wide and shock crossing your entire visage. Once the sound finally dies down and you come to terms with what just happened, your surprised gaze meets the silly happy smile of Kaminari and you mumbled, "What?"

"What?" he parroted and then tilted his head in confusion, "You finished all your exams right?"

"Well, yes, but," you mumbled and then looked around. He had decorated your room with small colorful streamers and a clumsy handmade yet meaningful "congratulation" banner. Slowly, the expression of surprise and shock morphed into gratefulness and awe as you realized he did this for you. You give him a bright smile and whispered, "Thank you."

"Of course!" he ruffled your hair as he slips on an adorable birthday cone and he mumbled, "Happy birthday, [F/N]-chan."

Your eyes widened and he sighed, a fond smile playing at his lips, "You forgot about your own birthday, didn't you?"

"I just-"

"Was too busy studying?" he snickered, and then he smiled, "That's why I'm here! Now that you're finally done, let's go celebrate!"

But he sees the way you yawn, even though you tried to hide it behind your hand and he chuckled, "Or maybe we can take a nap first and then celebrate." He pulls you close to him and he asked, "Sounds good?"

You nodded as your arms wrapped around him and you whispered, "You're the best boyfriend ever."

"And your only one," he teased as he booped your nose. He slowly leads you towards your bed and then flops down on it, with you on top of him. As soon as he finds a comfortable position, you snuggle up against him, quickly falling into a gentle slumber. He chuckled and presses his lips against your forehead, "Sleep well, [F/N]. And happy birthday."
