Sometimes Sero Hanta truly felt like he was the luckiest guy in the world. He was spending the evening watering some of his plants as his boyfriend played video games on his floor a few feet away. He smiled to himself as he tended to his potted children and listened to Kaminari make his way through the fire temple. The blonde was sitting cross-legged in front of Sero's crappy CRT TV at a distance that would've had his mother lecturing him about square eyes. His face had lit up yesterday when he saw Sero had brought his gamecube to his dorm, and suddenly saving Hyrule was his number one priority over everything else he could've had planned for that weekend. It was quite adorable watching him revel in all the nostalgia and Sero loved listening to him talk about his memories with it and all the little comments he made while playing.
Sero could really worry about a lot of things, and he did - about his future, about the safety of UA and his class, the safety of the world without All Might as a hero... But being in his cosy room and just existing with his plants and with his favourite person made all his worries feel insignificant. He would forever be grateful to his little permanent source of light and warmth in his life - even on his deepest, bluest days, Kaminari would always be there to be his own personal sunshine and fill his heart with affection.
As he finished up his watering, he made sure all his little dudes looked nice and happy together and made his way over to the boy on the floor. He sat behind him and snuck his arms under Kaminari's so he could pull him close and rest his head on his shoulder. He felt the blonde lean his own head against his in return and just like that Sero felt his soul smile.
He didn't say anything, just watched the tv while he held Kaminari tight and listened to his commentation on the game for a while. Part of him wished they could stay like this forever.
He took in his boyfriend's presence with all of his senses: felt the soft cotton of his hoodie and the warmth of their embrace, smelt the remnants of his deodorant - which he always used way too much of, but maybe Sero liked that - and watched his small hands pushing buttons on the old controller. Okay, maybe all but one sense - Sero decided to fix that. He lifted his head, took a beat to gaze at Kaminari's concentrated profile, and leaned in for a lingering peck on his cheek. He felt like he watched the blonde's mouth bloom into a huge grin in slow motion, and such a lovely sight coupled with dusted pink cheeks made Sero's heart tingle and flutter. He really had the cutest boyfriend ever.
"Is this your way of telling me to put the game down and pay attention to you?" asked Kaminari as he locked eyes with him.
Sero laughed through his nose a little. "I don't mind. I just wanted to kiss you." But now that they were looking at each other like this, he thought he wouldn't mind kissing him more.
Apparently Kaminari had the same thought, because he then leant in and connected their lips.
The pair shifted to face each other more and Sero moved his hand to cup Kaminari's face, letting his thumb slowly feather back and forth along his jaw. He couldn't help but smile into the kiss, and he thought that one of the greatest feelings ever was feeling Kaminari smile back as they intertwined like this. He loved it.
He loved him.
He had known he was in love for a while, and usually that thought was very daunting to him, but not right now - right now it just made sense. It felt like the most natural thing in the world. Sero loved his family, Sero loved his plants, and Sero loved Kaminari. Just like that.
Was this the time to let the other boy know? It was such a mundane moment in their lives, not really special or romantic, but he thought it just might be, for he knew he didn't really mind if he was loved back or not, he only wanted to let his feelings be known.
Sero broke the kiss, tipped his forehead against Kaminari's, and went for it.
"I love you." he whispered as if they were in a crowded room and not in their own little world, and for a second that world was still and quiet, the only sound being the tv and the discarded game.
Suddenly, Sero felt hands, arms, and then the floor against his back and a weight on top of him. He wasn't sure that Kaminari had necessarily meant to tackle him to the ground, but he reflexively wrapped him up in his arms as the smaller boy broke into a fit of giggles and buried his head in Sero's neck. If bliss had a sound, it was this. Kaminari laughed with his whole body and it was beautifully contagious.
"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean that!" the blonde, still giggling, propped himself up with his elbow so his face was now level with Sero's, his hair tickling his face ever so slightly. Kaminari's eyes sparkled and focused on Sero's while he took a couple of breaths to compose himself.
"I love you too. I love you so much, Hanta."
Wow. That felt nice. Sero didn't think he was capable of smiling any harder, and when he pulled his love back down for another kiss, they found they couldn't quite manage a proper one through their grins - which caused even more laughter. What a lovely problem to encounter. And what a sight they must've looked, lying on the floor, almost in hysterics and only managing kisses that lasted a couple seconds before their smiles interrupted again.
Sero decided this was his favourite moment. This was love. This was what people wrote songs about, this feeling, this happiness unlike any other, which you experienced and shared with another person - this other person that was the source of it all. How beautiful was that?
Sero also decided that this was not like the love he felt for his family or his plants - this love belonged only to the boy in his arms.
To the boy in his heart.
To Kaminari Denki.
