Work Text:
You checked the time: 3:30 am. You groaned, flipping over onto your side. Maybe if you stayed still enough, you would be able to sleep. But you were so bored, that you had to move around or die of boredom. Even if you went to class sleep-deprived, that was better than being DEAD. At home, you would play music, but Momo had informed you that your music kept her awake and you didn't want to do that to her.
So, fancying a change of scenary, you decided to wander through the corridors. "Hey, what?" You heard a voice call close behind you, so you breifly turned around before an unknown force knocked you into the floor. "Oh no." You heard a voice close to your ear. You felt a body pressed on top of yours and spotted honey-yellow hair with a single black lightning bolt-shaped streak resting on your chest.
"K-Kaminari?" You exclaimed. "I am SO sorry! I did not expect anyone else to be in the corridors." Kaminari explained with an easy smile, swiftly sitting up and shifting off of you.
He may be have been acting casual, but his blush and the fact he seemed to be straining, but trying very hard, to look you directly in the eyes, betrayed he had felt the intimacy of your position just as keenly as you had.
"What the hell are you doing knocking people down in the corridors at 20 to 4 in the morning? You questioned.
"I could ask you the same thing." He fired back cheerfully.
"I am not knocking people down in the corridors!" You protested.
"If you weren't there, I wouldn't have fallen." He pointed out gleefully.
You rolled your eyes.
"I got bored." You informed him simply.
"Same! So I thought I'd try out my new rollerskates!" He explained, holding up his foot to show you.
"I got some new rollerskates recently!" You commented, his cheerful demeanor begginning to affect you in the way you loved so much.
"Really? You should totally skate with me!" He offered enthusiastically.
"Two people, in these narrow corridors? And one of them is you? That's a disaster waiting to happen." You cautioned.
"We'll skate somewhere else then, get your skates and meet me in the common room, yeah?" He pursued.
"Ok, you're on." You agreed, standing up and begginning to skip to your room.
"Wait, what did you mean by 'and one of them is you'?" He called after you. You turned around slowly with a smirk. "See you later, Sparky." You said cheekily, turning and begginning to walk away again.
"Wait!" He called after you again. You turned around to face him, his backside still firmly planted on the floor.
"Yes?" You inquired.
"Could you help me up first? Kinda hard while wearing roller skates..." He requested sheepishly. You laughed and moved to help him up, your hands in his warm ones. As he stood up, he fell into you, so that you could feel his body warmth against you as you held him. "Oops." He chuckled, and you found yourself giggling with him.
You skated into the common room, seeing Kaminari waiting for you. "Hey!" You called out, realising all too late that the skates wouldn't stop in time before you made it to him. You got ready to feel yourself fall but you felt his arms stop you.
"Woah, we have to stop bumping into eachother like this." He joked.
"With your skills at rollerskating? Not likely." You retorted, pushing yourself off of his chest, but his hands remained on your waist.
"Hey, you bumped into me this time! And you haven't even seen me skate!" He accused.
"I've seen enough." You responded teasingly. He grinned at you in a way that made your heart fill with sunshine.
"Well, if you're that worried about me falling over, maybe you should hold my hand..." He suggested.
"You'll have to let go of my waist first." You reminded him.
"Right." He agreed, letting go of you and gently gripping your hand instead.
"Where are we going?" You asked, suddenly realising he hadn't told you were he was leading you. You had been skating together on the streets outside UA's walls for a while now, your hands still intertwined.
"Gas station. We can buy snacks, and I know for sure it'll be open because I've been there at night before." He reassured you.
"What, this is a regular thing? Do you usually drag classmates to the gas station at 4am?" You questioned, the sinking realistation that Kaminari had other friends, and that you were probably not at all special, making your joking remark half-serious.
"Skating to the gas station at 4am? Nope, I think that's something I'll only do with you." He confessed, with a breath-taking smile.
Your heart pace quickened and you lost your concerntration, the surprise of his statement causing you to fall forward.
But he swiftly caught you. "And apparently I'm the one who's bad at skating!" He whispered into your ear playfully as he held you from behind.
The breath tickling your ear led you to laugh, and he quickly joined in, your voices mingling together into one beautiful sound in the night air.
