"I think I'm non-binary,"
Kaminari stops scrolling on his phone, and the hand in Hitoshi's hair freezes.
Before the blonde could even open his mouth, Hitoshi continued, "But not like fully non-binary. Like I like to term, and I feel good with it? I don't know this is hard," he groans. Kaminari places his phone down to the side, looking his boyfriend (partner?) in the eyes, "Hey, it's ok, get it off your chest,"
"Like," Hitoshi sighs, leaning deeper into the soft, loving touch his (their?) boyfriend was giving him (them?), "I like he/him shit. Being called a man or shit like this is fine, it feels good, natural even. But they/them feels good too. And so does like, partner and stuff. The gender-neutral shit,"
Kaminari ponders the words in his brain, thinking of a good response to his partner's problem.
"Well, first off, it's not gonna change anything between us if you decide that they/them pronouns are for you. Second off, I understand ya hot stuff," Hitoshi scoffs at the nickname, a small smile plays on his (again, their?) face for the first time since they started this discussion.
"But for real, I get ya, dude. When I realized I was gender fluid, that shit was confusing, but I had you there and I know you love me anyway I am. And I love you any way you are, so it doesn't matter what you decide, I will always be there, don't worry 'bout that, mk,"
Hitoshi nods, not trusting his (fuck this is confusing) mouth to work correctly for words. Kaminari's hand picks back up, scratching the back of Hitoshi's head, blunt fingernails scraping the scalp.
"How 'bout this, I can use a couple of sentences with they/them pronouns and your name to see if ya like it or nah, yea?"
Hitoshi turns, head now fully in Kaminari's lap, "Please,"
The blonde put a finger to his chin before grinning that million-volt smile that Hitoshi loves so much, "So, Mina, I'm thinking about asking Hitoshi on this amazing date, but I don't know if they're gonna want to go. It's right after practice and they are always tired after practice. I mean, I get free cuddles with my amazingly smexy partner, so win-win situation either way, right?"
Hitoshi laughs, wrapping their arms around Kaminari's middle, bringing him in for a hug.
"Thank you,"
Kaminari almost missed his amazing partner's thanks if it wasn't for the fact it was muffled by the blonde's stomach, right where Hitoshi's face was pressed at.
"Of course, my love."

"Ok, so," Kaminari says, shutting the door to Hitoshi's dorm room, "My lilac love of my life, I've been doing some research!" Taking a seat in Kaminari's favorite chair (Hitoshi's lap, if anyone was wondering) the blonde pulls something up on his phone before hiding it against his chest.
Hitoshi hums, half curiosity, half amusement at Denki's weirdly adorable behavior, "What have you been researching, Kitten?" Expecting something strange the blonde found on the internet, Hitoshi wraps their arms around Kaminari's waist, knowing that it's gonna be a while before the legit cutest (don't tell Denki that, he'll never let Hitoshi live that down) human in the world gets up off their lap
"Do you remember the thing we were talking about the other day?"
Hitoshi frowns a bit. Of course they remember the mental breakdown of their gender identity. Gulping slightly, Hitoshi nods, "What about it?"
Kaminari gives Hitoshi his phone, the bright screen hurting Hitoshi's eyes before adjusting to the light, "Ok, so, basically what all the paragraphs on paragraphs say is that, non binary people can use any pronouns! So, you can still be non binary and use he/him pronouns if ya want! And they/them too, obviously, you said you like those to, but yea, I figured I'd tell you, cause, with you, My Dear Love, don't like doing shit for yourself -which by the way, is not a good thing at all-"
"Denki," Hitoshi says, cutting off a rambling Denki, "thank you."
Kaminari takes a deep breath, smiling a small private smile at Hitoshi, then planting a kiss on his partner's lips. Hitoshi hums into the kiss, loving every moment they have with Denki.
"Of course,"
~extra, some time later~
*p.s., denki is a little shit*
"God, my partner is so sexy-"
"Jesus Christ Denki stop staring at my ass!"
"No~ If I don't stare at your ass, I can't tell you how sexy you areee!!"
~~~
"There they are!! My baby!! I want cuddles, give me cuddles Toshi!! Please?!"
"Has anyone told you you're a handful?"
"Eh, once or twice. Now! I demand cuddles from my partner -is it a partner day? Shit wait-"
"Yes, Denks, it's a partner day."
"SWEET! Now, give me that ass! I want to lay on it!"
"DENKI!"
