Maniacal laughter filled the ears of class 1-a as they stood there in shock, especially Shinsou. He stood and watched his best friend laugh at the reactions of the class. The blonde had just walked over to the villains as they dragged bakugou through the warp hole.
“Kaminari, what are you doing?” Kirishima had yelled
“Oh Kiri, my man, my buddy, don’t you get it.” Denki chuckled “I’m the reason the villains keep finding you.” He smacked himself on the head as if to say duh.
“What do you mean?” Shinsou had asked, tears threatening to spill over his cheeks. Kaminari looked unimpressed by the question. He huffed and stamped his feet, annoyed.
“I’m the traitor idiots, hah look at that I’m the one calling you the idiots, oh how the tables turn. It really gets me excited.” Then he laughed, nearly doubling over.
“That’s enough Kaminari, its time to go.” Dabi sounded from beside him.
“Well ta ta for now my lovelies.” Kaminari winked giving them all a little wave before he blew a kiss towards Shinsou. And while the insomniac knew it shouldn’t have, it made his face flush, his crush on the electric blonde had been there for sometime but why is it that knowing his crush was a villain, the reason for the suffering of his class mates, made that crush develop a lot stronger than it had been before.
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I want to break the spell
That you've created
The thought of Kaminari blowing him a kiss as he walked through that warp hole had not left Shinsou’s mind so much so that he had to see him again. He knew it was dangerous but he was drowning in thoughts of Kaminari looking so powerful that he needed to see him again. He figured that now would be a good time as they had already got bakugou back so Kaminari would know he had no ulterior motive.
Shinsou dug out his phone and searched for Kaminari’s contact.
~DENKI~
Shinsou: Kaminari I really need to talk to you, I’ll come alone, no one will know.
He put the phone down on his bedside table and continued on with his homework, trying his best not to be distracted. About half an hour later Shinsou’s phone pinged from where he had placed it last. Not that he would admit it, but Shinsou dashed over to see the notification as if his life depended on it.
Denki: Sure, thing sweet cheeks meet me at our hang out spot right now 😉 I’ll come alone too
Shinsou’s heart began to race, his hand became sweaty and he realised he had to look somewhat presentable. He threw on his black jeans and black and white striped t-shirt. He laced up his boots and tugged his shaggy purple hair into a half up half down situation and headed out. It had just gone midnight so the streets where quiet as he snuck out of his room through the balcony and shimmying down a drain pipe. It was to make sure no one saw him leave.
He jumped hedges and darted through small ginnels to make it to a little spot of grass in one of the deepest ginnels of the city. It was rare to see so much nature in such an urban part of the city that Shinsou and Kaminari had decided to keep it a secret and meet here when they wanted to be alone, where they could share thing about themselves without feeling judged. Although now that Shinsou thought about it, he may have given Kaminari all of the information on the class. How stupid of me he thought to himself. Of course, he never really cared. The thought made his heart sink, he began to get lost in thoughts of him never being able to have a chance with Kaminari, even when he didn’t know who the blonde really was. But foot steps snapped him out of his spiral and he looked over his shoulder.
There stood Kaminari, he was dressed to the nines in a three-piece suit with yellow accents. A mischievous smile was plastered on his face and Shinsou looked him up and down, bewildered at the sight
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
“Heeey Shinsouuu” He sang from the archway. The solar powered fairy lights they had put up to make the ginnel their own had come on and they made Denki’s eyes sparkle, they were glowing as the electric boy made his way over to Shinsou. How could he find someone so evil so attractive? It just isn’t natural but here he is basking in the beauty of Kaminari as he is tugged by the arm to sit on the grass below the tree.
As they sat there cross-legged and facing each other, Kaminari’s fingers danced up and down his arm and Shinsou could feel mild shocks every so often, his skin tingling lightly in the trail.
“What did you want to talk to me about?” Kaminari whispered in Shinsou’s ear, he shivered at the breath on his neck and let out a small whine as Denki pulled back, a smug look taking over his face. “Could it be that you have come to confess your love to me?” The blonde asked smoothing down the black gloves that covered his hands.
“H-How did you know?” Shinsou stammered, blushing more than he would’ve liked to at that moment.
“I’ve known about your little crush on me for a while darling, but I couldn’t let myself catch feelings when I had to betray you.” Denki explained cupping Shinsou’s face and pouting at him. So beautiful.
“That makes sense.”
“Yes, but now that the betrayal is over, we could have some fun don’t ya think?” He pulled his hand back, chuckling lightly to himself as Shinsou’s breath hitched.
I want to play the game
I want the friction
Shinsou surged forwards and pushed his lips against Kaminari’s without a second thought. It was rushed and rough and not at all a good kiss but when Kaminari held Shinsou’s jaw and guided the kiss, it began to take a passionate and lustful turn. Shinsou sighed into Kaminari’s mouth and the blonde moved to sit in Shinsou’s lap. They continued this was for god knows how long, it could have been minutes or hours, Shinsou was too lost in the sensation and the smell of Kaminari to care.
Denki was the one to break the kiss, he pulled away and looked down at Shinsou, he looked vulnerable, that is the word that came to the insomniac’s mind but as soon as the look had appeared, it left and that sinful smile teared across his face once again.
You will be
The death of me
Yeah, you will be
The death of me
“Well darling I will be off.” Kaminari said before moving out of Shinsou’s lap and standing over him.
“What, where are you going?” the purple haired boy asked, looking up at Denki with desperation in his eyes.
“Well, I said we could have some fun and I’ve had mine.” He huffed looking away from Shinsou and making his way towards the archway once again. Shinsou didn’t want this to just be a game, he knew there was some feeling there, some emotion, he wasn’t going to let Kaminari just ignore that.
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
“Kaminari wait!” Shinsou yelled, he didn’t know where he was going with is. “You know that UA are looking for you right?”
The blonde nodded, Shinsou believed he saw a gloom come about on Denki’s face.
“Please stay. Our time is running out.” He pleaded
“I know Parma violet but I’m not letting this get out of hand. I can’t it will only hurt you in the end.” He sighed, the smaller boy looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and Shinsou wanted so desperately to carry it for him.
“But I know there is something here, something between us and our time is running out, but it doesn’t have to be you can come back from this and we can be together.” He stared at Kaminari, pouring as much emotion into his face, his eyes, as much as possible if it meant he could convince Kami to stay, to come back, to not leave him.
Kaminari’s face wavered again, he looked like he wanted to say so many things, explain so much to Shinsou and unfortunately all he responded with was “I’ll see you around Hitoshi” before disappearing into the night. Shinsou’s heart broke there and then, he sunk to the floor and cried, cried out of heart break, out of frustration, out of helplessness and uselessness. He wanted to do more, wanted to say more. Wanted to try harder to get the Kaminari he knew and loved back. After the tears had subsided, he got to his feet and made his way back to his room. It was 1:30 in the morning, so he hadn’t been gone long enough to spark worry in anyone from school. But he thought to himself
You can’t push it underground
We can’t stop it screaming out
He had tried texting Kaminari again and again, hoping he would answer at least one of his messages but he never did. A month had passed since their meeting in the ginnel and Shinsou decided he was going to take the hint and try to move on, focus on his studies, on the friends he still had and on his dream of becoming a hero. But it was proving to be more difficult than he thought.
I wanted freedom
But I'm restricted
The bakusquad tried to cheer him up, they watched all of his favourite shows and films. They baked, went to cat cafes. They even took his phone away so he would stop trying to find out what Kaminari was up to.
“He’s a villain now,” Bakugou had shouted “well I guess he always was.” He scoffed and stormed out of the room.
“Look I know bakugou was harsh but he’s right, how can you still have faith in him after everything we have seen him do, after the news stories, he isn’t going to change Shinsou.” Kirishima tried, but he sighed when Hitoshi’s expression didn’t change. At that the squad left him to it, they knew how stubborn he could be. It was useless.
He tried Denki one more time, but instead of texting, he called him. It rang out a few times before the line was picked up, but Kaminari didn’t speak.
“Hey Kami, its Shinsou, well I guess you knew that already, please meet me. I need to see you.”
“No, not yet.” The blonde sounded from the other side, barely a whisper then the line went dead. Shinsou teared up. The rejection made him want to ball up and cry but the not yet rang in his mind, keeping a tether on his sanity
~
A year had passed, the league of villains was still causing havoc for the heroes and class 2-a and it had been a year since the phone call Shinsou had had with Denki. It had been the last time they had spoken. He tried to not let it get to him but it did from time to time. But he was doing better, he was making a name for himself as a hero in training and he had supportive friends and teachers to keep him going. But when he was sent on a solo mission, things started to falter.
He had gained knowledge of a new hideout the league of villains was using and was sent to check it out. He made his way through the derelict building listening carefully and keeping as quiet as possible. When he reached the room furthest toward the back of the house, he pushed open the door only for his vision to go black.
When he awoke, he was tied to a chair his mouth had been taped shut and his capture scarf had been removed. Then the door opened revealing his captor. There was the estranged Kaminari wearing his infamous villain suit but his hair was slightly longer and pulled into a massy bun at the back of his head.
“Sorry I had to take precautions, I didn’t want the first time I tied you up to be non-consensual” he winked, running a hand up Shinsou’s restricted arm. He blushed at the suggestive thought, feelings he had stored away beginning to seep out once more.
Kaminari knelt down in front of Shinsou, he cupped his face with his gloved hand before saying “Hey baby, you look dead, that’s hot.” And laughing as Shinsou tried to stop himself for laughing, he knew he shouldn’t but that was the Kami he knew, the one he had caught feelings for. The blonde then took off the tape on Shinsou’s mouth.
“Kaminari what the fuck?!” he yelled
“Shushhhh, we don’t want to draw attention to us now do we?”
“No” Shinsou looked down at his feet, they were also tied to the chair.
“I’m sorry I kept you waiting but it was necessary.” He exclaimed, Shinsou kept his eyes on the floor. But he whispered
“I tried to give you up.”
“I know baby” Kaminari said lifting his head by the chin to make eye contact.
“But I'm addicted” he finished, tears starting to drip down his cheeks and Kaminari moved to kiss them away.
“I know my darling”
“Now that you know I'm trapped, what are you planning on doing with me?” Shinsou looked up, face hardening as the tears started to ease up and dry down on his cheeks.
“oh, nothing it’s just seeing you tied up give me a Sense of elation.” He chuckled before moving to untie Shinsou from the chair. Once he was free Shinsou moved to give Kaminari a hug, the blonde accepted and hugged him back tightly.
“I missed you Parma violet.” Denki said.
“And I missed you too sunshine.” Shinsou pulled away and smiled at him “Kaminari come home.” At that the smaller boy pushed away from Shinsou, his brow furrowed in worry and he clenched his fists at his sides
“It’s too late now Hitoshi, you know that I’ve done so many bad things. I can’t come back from it now.” He said, as if he had been holding it back for so long.
“it’s not too late I can convince them and you can show them that you want to change and they’ll come round I-“ Shinsou was cut off with a kiss, Kaminari pushed into him and pressed them together, it was rough and desperate, both had wanted this for so long and it really showed.
“I can’t baby, but I don’t want to let you go again, I want to kiss you and treat you right so You'll never dream of breaking this fixation.” Kaminari’s eyes glinted with a seriousness he had never seen before.
“Then what do we do?” Shinsou asked.
“You can come with me; we can lead the league of villains together.” Kaminari grinned, he clapped his hands in excitement and started to pace around the room. “I mean its perfect with our quirks we would be unstoppable.”
“Denki you know I can’t do that it goes against all my morals I- “he was interrupted with another kiss.
“Please Hitoshi, it’s the only way, you love me right?” Kaminari looked at him with puppy eyes
You will squeeze the life out of me
“I- “
“Pleaseee”
“I can’t Denki please do you know what you’re asking me to do?” the blonde looked up at Shinsou.
Denki knew exactly what he was asking of him but he should love him enough to do this for him right? Kaminari sighed and stepped away from the purple haired boy, His Parma violet. He couldn’t let Shinsou go again, he couldn’t live this life with no one to support him again, it was so lonely, so terrifying to be alone.
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
“Shinsou how else will this work; I can’t go with you and you can’t come with me but Our time is running out. If you have a plan now would be a good time to tell me!” Kaminari yelled, he was getting frustrated and no one won when he was frustrated.
“Can’t we just keep seeing each other without changing?”
“can you live with that? Knowing what I’m doing and keeping it a secret.” Kaminari asked
“I don’t know but it’s worth a try and our time is running out, like you said and we can’t keep pushing away these feelings for each other or it’ll kill us.” Shinsou suggested, it seemed like logical reasoning and he was right.
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
“How did it come to this?” Shinsou asked as he curled up with Kaminari on the bed one day. It Shinsou was now in his last year of UA and so far everything had gone smoothly, until There was a big confrontation between the heroes and the league and Kaminari had been hurt badly.
“I don’t know Hitoshi but you’re the one who told the heroes where we were this is your fault!” Denki yelled, standing up from the bed and hobbling across the room to get away from Shinsou.
“What did you expect me to do? I couldn’t not tell them or they would get suspicious!” Shinsou yelled right back
“I know but look where that got us, they’re suspicious anyway Shinsou!”
You will suck the life out of me
“Maybe we should call it quits.” Denki suggested
“No, I’m not letting you push me away again as things get difficult, we will figure it out we always do!” Shinsou screamed this time, desperate to keep the love of his life.
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
“I know Parma violet, but Our time is running out. Let’s be honest, we both knew it would eventually.” The blonde sighed a few strands of hair falling from his pony tail.
“No, I won’t accept it.” Shinsou said walking over to the electric man, he leaned down slightly to kiss his boyfriend will all the love and affection he had to offer and Kaminari hummed in content.
“We still need to find a way to fix this and our time is running out.” Kaminari said, he knew that Shinsou wouldn’t want to let him go and he didn’t want to either he knows now that with that feeling of love
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
“How did it come to this?” Kaminari asked as he rested his forehead against Shinsou’s
“I don’t know my sunshine but it’s going to be okay.” He reassured, he was good at that
It all did seem to work itself out, Shinsou managed to scrape by any suspicion and played off knowing any information on an anonymous source and gave them an email address that he would then write fake emails from to cover their backs. It was working for now, but the pair knew more hardships would come eventually but they were going to focus on the right now.
And when Shinsou graduates from UA, Kaminari is off at the back out of sight clapping for his boyfriend and Shinsou smiles when he sees the familiar yellow of Denki’s tie and he thinks to himself maybe being an underground hero is going to pay off more than I thought.
