Chapter Text
Some people argued whether Midoriya's or Kaminari's smiles were better (Kirishima used to also be a part of this debate until he was ruled out due to once terrifying a group of school children with his overly sharp teeth).
On Team Midoriya™, it was argued that he was genuine, in both smile and everything else (not just because he's a terrible liar, though that does play a part). The way he just seemed to light up a room with just a simple flash of his teeth had people set in their ways on who they voted for.
Team Kaminari™ on the other hand had a hard battle to fight since they couldn't outright say Midoriya's smile wasn't heartwarming, every single person in their class had experienced it first hand and saying Midoriya didn't have a big effect on people was just blatant lying. No, they had to think of actual arguments as to why Kaminari's was superior which was, relatively speaking, pretty damn hard since most of the people on Team Kaminari™ were his close friends who none of which were particularly smart with stuff.
As for the two in question, they were very annoyed whenever the argument was brought up because they obviously knew the answer. Except, no they didn't, because they disagreed on it too. Kaminari was confident in the freckled boy's smile superiority whereas you had no chance in hell on changing Midoriya's mind that the blonde's was better.
The most hilarious thing about it was that the two themselves never brought up the argument but they were always the most heated and the ones who ended every round, this particular time, not any different. For the most part.
"My teeth are crooked and yellow!" Kaminari shouted angrily across the common room. "Your dentist must weep from of joy at your perfect pearly whites!"
"My dentist doesn't shed a tear for shit, I never floss!" Midoriya shouted back, just as heated. "Who gives a damn about that when your smile can literally light up a room!"
"You're one to talk!" Denki yelled. "Anyone who's ever met you has found you either overwhelmingly happy-go-lucky or absolutely infuriating with that smile of yours!"
"Oh my God, just kiss already," Jirou growled as she sat in the middle of the two arguing boys.
"What??" Ashido asked incredulously, whipping her hear around to look at the girl sitting next to her.
"These two have been aggressively been screaming compliments at eachother for months, that's so gay," Kyoka snorted a laugh.
Midoriya (taking the suggestion, apparently) suddenly stalked forward and Kaminari, who had been relatively confident in his arguing, immediately tensed and held up his hands in surrender.
"Wait- no, Midoriya-" He took a step backwards to avoid him but just ended up stumbling and falling into the couch. "Oof- dude, I admit defeat! I have the better smile, just don't kill me ple-"
He was cut off by Midoriya roughly grabbing him by the front of the shirt and yanking Denki in. A few wolf whistles from others in the common room and encouraging yells from the sidelines, the two seemingly always at odds boys were now kissing right there in front of everyone. I'm also sure it would have become quite heated if Kaminari were actually in the right mind to reciprocate the kiss in any meaningful way.
After a while, Midoriya pulled away with a small smirk on his face. "Sorry, you were about to surrender, weren't you?" He chuckled.
"Wheyyyyy~" Kaminari mindlessly drawled, slumping in his seat having shocked himself dumb.
"Bro! You killed him!" Kirishima yelled, rushing over to tend to his friend's newly deteriorated mental state.
"Oh no, I didn't mean to!" Midoriya panicked, also trying to help.
"Don't be fucking stupid, he's just short-circuited again, this damn Deku just overwhelmed him," Bakugou grumbled as he walked past.
"Huh?" Midoriya questioned, looking over his shoulder at the eternally angry teen. "But he wasn't using his quirk," he said, confused.
"He doesn't need need to," Jirou said from where she was still sitting. "It's kinda e-"
"I'm okay!" Kaminari suddenly yelled, getting Midoriya to whip his head back around to watch him attempt to stand but just stumbled and sat hard back onto the couch. "What just... happened?"
