Iida: Malcontented, miserable, desolated, disgruntled-

Kaminari: Smad.

Neither of them were remotely interested in the other at first

But then Kami just HAD to fall in love with Class Prez

He loved everything about Iida, his formal tone, his hand chops, his little smiles

It was all too cute for Kami

He loved it when Iida would reprimand him for his pranks and jokes

It was the only time outside of training that Iida ever paid mind to him

And he hated that, but if it was the only way he could talk to Iida, so be it

He'd spare glances at Iida during tests, watching the way he tapped his pencil while thinking

He'd get distracted watching Iida wave his arms around while talking

He was absolutely in love with Tenya

And he did the best he could to move forward, to drop little hints that would maybe lead to a confession

Maybe if he wasn't such a coward, he'd have told Tenya already

But he was scared, of all things, he was scared of getting rejected

So that's how it went, days and nights of flirting with an oblivious Tenya

Dropping clues everywhere, even the most cliché ones

Playing with his hair, trying to hold Tenya's hand, bending over just a little too much in front of the other

He tried everything

But Tenya was just as oblivious as a brick wall

And Kami was convinced Tenya actually picked up on his flirts, and had just decided to ignore them as a gentle way to let him down

There was no way he could be that dense right?

And the one day, Midoriya mentions that he's going to the mall with Iida and Uraraka, and by that point everyone with eyes could see that he and Uraraka were crushing on each other

And so he made the dumbest statement he could've

"Y'know Mido, it's rude to just have Iida third wheeling like that. We should just turn it into a double date!"

And then Tenya has his eyes on him, and oh god he's really messed up this time

Everyone either has a look of surprise on their face or just a disappointed facepalm on them

But Kami doesn't really care about them, he cares more about Tenya

Because Tenya looks like he's completely lost, like the thought of ever going out with Kaminari is a ridiculous concept

Kami, most of all, is scared of rejection. And now, as he's staring his crush in the eyes, he can feel himself melting from the attention. And not in a good way either.

He crumples under Tenya's eyes, and he feels his heart begin to deflate, like a ballon floating up to the sky suddenly being popped

But then he's being pulled up from his seat by the collar and oh-

Tenya is kissing him

Him, of all people

It's messy and not at all what they're first kiss should be like but Kami loves it anyway

Tenya tastes like honey and tea, smells like lemongrass and vanilla

He's absolutely intoxicating

And then all at once it's over, Iida let's go of his collar and Kami is sent stumbling back into his desk

Iida is an apologetic mess, hands flying about as he mumbles a string of sorrys

It's all so sweet, but for once Kami doesn't want to sit back

He surges forward, wrapping his arms around Tenya's shoulders and he kisses him with as much passion as he can muster

Kami doesn't care that all his classmates are watching, he's waited too damn long for this

Their second kiss hard and passionate, it's fast and it's everything Kaminari has ever dreamed of

Somewhere during the kiss, Tenya wraps his own arms around Kami's waist and he leans into the kiss

It makes Kami dizzy, all his wishes coming true at once

And when they separate again, Kami can feel all his classmates staring, but all he can look at is Tenya

"Yes, I say we should make it a double date."

Kaminari knocks on the door from the bath to Iida: Iida, are you naked?

Iida: No, I'm standing in my pants and t-shirt, I'm still wearing glasses😒

Kaminari opens the door: Then I can go in!

Happy birthday to Denki and IiDenki twins!
