“I think Shoji’s… kinda hot.”
Kaminari looked up from his 3Ds, giving a curious look towards his smaller friend, Mineta. “Oh. Like, in a ‘wow what a guy’ sorta way? Or like… in a gay way?” He asked, seeming unphased by the confession. He knew something was sort of up before they even got to Mineta’s room.
“I-I don’t know!” Mineta squawked, his hands trembling a bit and his face beating red as sweat trickled down his forehead. “I mean, I’m totally not gay. Not at all. Nope. That isn’t me.” He grew more and more nervous as he continued to trail on his excuses. However, before he could continue, Kaminari put a hand on his shoulder in a silent form of reassurance.
“Hey… dude, it’s okay. I mean, you could be bi. That’s totally fine.” Kaminari said, a glimmer in his golden gaze, which was warm and welcoming. His smile only full of acceptance and patience. “And even if you aren’t, or if this is just an exception… then that’s also fine, dude. Who cares what gets you goin’, y’know? Plus,” He paused and nudged Mineta’s arm and chuckled softly. “I’m bi myself.”
“W-wait, what?” Mineta was shocked at this, but it did help calm down the frivolous anxiety that flooded his chest with an erratic arrangement of heartbeats. “You are? And you didn’t tell me?!”
“Well, yeah. I just kinda don’t care enough to talk about it at all…” Kaminari patted his back before leaning away from him and resuming his game on his little device. “Also, I don’t blame you. Shoji’s fuckin’ yoked.”
Mineta couldn’t help but to laugh a little at that, punching Kaminari’s arm before laying back, relieved.
After a few moments of silence, Mineta broke it with a small sigh. “Thanks, Kaminari...”
Kaminari paused his game, looking to his friend again. “No problem, dude. What’re friends for? Plus, this just means we can start checking out the guys together instead of just picking on the chicks.” At that, Mineta’s eyes widened in excitement.
“Right!”
The two shared another bit of mirth together, glad to be in one another’s company.
