“My mom thinks we’re dating.” Denki says, strolling into Eijirou’s room as if it were his own.
“Excuse me?” Eijirou sits up, making room on his bed for Denki.
Denki sits down. “I finally came out to my mom and she asked if we were dating.”
Eijirou sighs. “Okay and?”
Denki looks away. “I may have told her yes.”
“And why on Earth would you tell her that?”
Denki looks away. “I don’t know, I just panicked.”
Eijirou pats his hair. “It’s ok, but what are we going to do now?”
“Pretend to date?” Denki says, giving him puppy-dog eyes.
Eijirou groans. “Stop that, you know I can’t say no to you whether you do those or not.”
“But it’s fun to do them anyway,” Denki says with a giggle.
“I guess we can for a while at least.” Eijirou tells him with a sigh.
Denki starts bouncing up and down on the bed. “Thank you, you’re the best!” He tackles
Eijiro in a hug and they both end up a giggling mess on the floor.
After a few moments they end up with Denki flopping over Eijirou on the floor.
Eijirou
pokes his side. “Get up, you're heavy.”
“Did you just call me fat?” Denki asked with a raised eyebrow.
Eijirou rolls his eyes. “No, you’re just almost the same size as me.”
“Uhuh suuuuuuure,” Denki says as he pushes up enough to look in Eijirou’s face, smiling
wide.
Eijirou’s breath catches in his throat and he can’t help but smile back. He starts to tickle
Denki’s sides in revenge, watching him giggle and try to squirm away.
“Stop!” Denki gets out after a moment, still giggling.
Eijirou smirks.
“What’s the magic word?”
“Please!”
Eijirou lets him go and he rolls off of him, laying next to him as they both catch their breath slowly. He rolls onto his side, watching as Denki closes his eyes, eyelashes fluttering as he continues to simply breath in and out. He was gorgeous, Eijirou was always the first one to admit that, even long before he had figured out his feelings. He loved his bright spiky hair and bright eyes, eyes that sparkled when he started to talk about something he loved. Not to mention the long, beautiful lashes that fell over those lashes.
As he lay there he had the strong urge to reach out and trace his thumb across those beautiful pink lips. That would make things awkward though, so he restrained himself, sitting up instead.
Denki blinks up at him. “Where are you going?”
“I can’t lay on the floor forever, Denks, especially when there’s a comfy bed right there,” he tells him with a small chuckle.
“Cuddles?” Denki asked, turning the puppy dog eyes again.
“Of course, get up here.”

Eijirou wakes up later that night, looking down to see the blonde still sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He blushes hard; Denki was cute with a bed-head and a sleepy smile.
Denki starts to stir and Eijirou quickly closes his eyes, pretending to still be asleep.
Denki sits up, yawning and stretching, before leaning back down to kiss Eijirou’s forehead, causing them both to blush hard.
Eijirou waited until he heard footsteps leaving the room and heading down the hall to the bathroom before he opened his eyes.
‘Did that really just happen?’ he thought to himself. ‘I must have imagined it, he would never do that...but it felt so...real’.
Eijirou heard the toilet flush and the sink turn on down the hall and sat up, closing his eyes, and trying to clear his thoughts before Denki came back.
“Oh you're awake,” Denki says, leaning against the door jam.
“Uh yeah, do you wanna go grab food?”
Denki’s eyes light up and he smiles wide. “Have I ever said no to food?”
Eijirou chuckles. “You have a point, go get dressed.”
Denki replies with a chipper “okay” and bounces away.
Eijirou takes a deep breath and grabs his phone off the nightstand to message Katsuki.
Red Riot : I think I’m gonna confess tonight.
Boom Boom : Fucking finally.
Red Riot : ...
Boom Boom : Look shitty hair, you are both just as obvious as you are oblivious, you’ll be fine.
Red Riot : What’s that supposed to mean?
Boom Boom : Nothing, go get you man.
Red Riot : Okay, bye Bakubro.

Eijirou sighs, getting up to get dressed before Denki could come back and pout at him for
not getting ready fast enough.

They end up in a small cafe down the street from the UA dorms. Denki had tried to order a coffee, but Eijirou had quickly shut that down, not wanting to experience the man being more hyper than he already was naturally. Instead he had a small tea and a pastry in front of him while Eijirou simply had a small cup of milk.
“Hey Denks?” Eijirou says quietly, fidgeting with his cup in his hands.
“Hmm?” Denki asks through a mouthful of pastry.
“Do you like anyone?”
Denki starts coughing.
Eijirou stands up and pats his back. “Are you okay? Sorry I didn’t mean to surprise you like that.”
“It’s okay, just um, yeah I do like someone...” he says the last part quietly.
“Oh...what are they like?” Eijirou deflates a little, but tries not to let his disappointment show on his face.
“Well they're extremely hot and manly, but they are also very sweet and respectful.” Denki says, blushing.
“Oh.” Eijirou pulls out his phone under the table, opening his messages with Katsuki.
Red Riot : He has a crush.
Boom Boom : Yeah, you
Red Riot : I doubt it.
Boom Boom : What did he say?
Red Riot : “Well they're extremely hot and manly, but they are also very sweet and respectful.”
Boom Boom : Manly is literally only a word you use.
Red Riot : Oh.
Boom Boom : Stop overthinking and get your man.
Red Riot : Yeah okay, talk to you later.

“Hey Denks?” Eijirou hesitantly says, still nervous despite Katsuki’s reassurance.
“Hmm?”
He blushes and looks down. “Would you like to maybe go out sometime?”
Denki looks surprised. “Are you playing with me?”
“Of course not, I would never do that to you.”
“In that case...” Denki gets up.
“What are you?-” Eijirou is cut off by Denki’s lips landing on his own.
A minute later Denki pulls back, both of them panting hard. “I would love to go out with you,” he says breathily.
Eijirou smiles and kisses him again.
