the true definition of art
pairing; todokami. implied kiribaku.
summary;âWell, I.. Um..â Kaminari took a deep breath before saying: âTodoroki, I noticed your room is full of beautiful art pieces. Maybe youâd know whatâs the true definition of art? I donât trust Wikipedia anymore.â and at that moment, Kaminari could have sworn he saw a faint blush appear on Todorokiâs cheeks as he nodded his head almost unnoticeably.

headcanon that denki is just as bad in romance as shouto would probably be and also has no idea how it works when you have a crush thank you for listening
Everyone in the class got a project assigned to them for their art class. The problem was that each of them had to do different thing which the teacher told them to. Kaminari had a problem remembering what the others had to do, but he clearly remembered what was assigned to him.
Draw or paint your feelings about the true definition of art.
But that wasnât as easy as it seemed.
First of all, he wasnât that good at art. He was kind of good at it, but not an expert. He was better at different things like literature for example. Or lately he was really good at photography. But not that much at art. Besides, he couldnât even imagine things he wanted to draw very well. He just didnât have the inspiration for it.
Then how was he supposed to picture something like true definition of art on paper? He really didnât know. It was quite difficult.
He was trying to make himself relax while visting Sero in his dorm. Yes, it took his thoughts somewhere else, but as soon as he left and closed the door behind him, it brought back his worries about the project. But then he noticed something.
The door of Todorokiâs room were wide open for some reason. Perhaps he needed air or something? Kaminari knew it was bad to peek, but he walked silently and when he arrived at the otherâs room, he stopped for a while to look. He didnât make a sound. That would maybe disturb Todoroki laying on his bed. It seemed he was sleeping. Kaminari thought it was kind of cute, actually.
But were those paintings and drawings always there in his room? He quietly stepped closer as he glanced more into the room. They looked fairly new and as if they were drawn by a professional artist.. sort of. They looked really beautiful, yeah. Kaminari had an urge to look even closer at them, but he didnât want to invade Todorokiâs room without permission like that.
He shook his head slightly and headed to his own room instead. Was Todoroki a fan of art? Or painting? Maybe both, but it was interesting. And it was anothet think that could be added to his good qualities list, which was already quite a long one.
At the night Kaminari couldnât sleep well for some reason, so he obviously woke up feeling rather tired. He was surprised he managed to wake up early without being woken up by his alarm clock. It actually felt nice to get up without that annoying beeping for once. But he was still exhausted.
âI hope the day will pass by fast.â he thought while changing from his pajamas slowly. He had big amount of time before first class started anyways, so he could be as slow as he wanted.
After doing his morning routine, he just laid there on his bed while staring into the ceiling. The art pieces in Todorokiâs room still appeared vividly in his mind. Why though? They were just paintings. Even though they were really beautiful.
He spent most of the spare time he had that morning to just think. About random things. Like that new book he wanted to buy, Todoroki Shouto, that he needed to remember to buy some snacks for the weekend, about how he would hang out with his friends after school, Todoroki Shouto, about how tired he was and.. How beautiful and stunning Todoroki Shouto was. Yeah, a really productive morning.
He thought so much specifically about Todoroki today. Not like he didnât think about him everyday, because he was such a perfect person. His eyes, his face, his small smile, his hair, his body.. Everything about him was perfect. And his personality was awesome as a whole, too. Not like he fought the urge to tell him how attractive he was being every single day. Not at all.
His heart seemed to also genuinely like it when Todoroki was around. It always started to beat fast, much more fast than normal. And he felt weird fluttering in his stomach whenever Todoroki smiled a bit into his direction or when he spoke to him. Also, his cheeks started to feel hot when he was around him, but that was okay, right? No big deal. He just appreciated how perfect Todoroki was. No?
Oh! That was it. Todoroki. He could also ask Todoroki to help him with his art project. Maybe the paintings in his room actually show that itâs his new obsession or something? That would be quite handy.
After realizing he was thinking for too long, Kaminari got up and stretched his arms lazily. Then, he took his things and headed out to the first class of the day; the homeroom.
âHey, Todoroki! Wait!â
The said person with that gorgeous mismatched eyes turned around and did as he was told by Kaminari when he ran up to him. When he caught up, they started to walk normally.
âHello, Kaminari. Is there something on your mind?â Todoroki asked as he gave Kaminari a side glance, wondering what he wanted.
âWell, uh.. Yeah, actually. Do you think you could help me with my art project?â he questioned while playing with the hem of his uniform. âI mean, I know you have one of your own already, but.. I am just so hopeless when it comes to art.â
Todoroki raised an eyebrow. âWhy do you think I am the one suited for helping you out? Whatâs the theme for your project anyways?â he asked back.
âWell, I.. Um..â Kaminari took a deep breath before saying: âTodoroki, I noticed your room is full of beautiful art pieces. Maybe youâd know whatâs the true definition of art? I donât trust Wikipedia anymore.â and at that moment, Kaminari could have sworn he saw a faint blush appear on Todorokiâs cheeks as he nodded his head almost unnoticeably.
âI, uh,â Todoroki cleared his throat quietly, nodding his head again but more noticeably, âI suppose, yes.. Youâll have to decide what you think that is yourself, the project shall be bases on your own feelings But I can help you with it. Iâll try my best at least.â he responded, glancing at the blonde.
Kaminari gazed at him back while starting to grin. A light red blush started to spread on his cheeks. Todoroki will help him. Todoroki Shouto will help him. âThank you so much! It means a lot to me!â he responded after a while of just staring at the other which only deepened his blush.
It still was there. The almost invisible blush on Todorokiâs cheeks. âWe could perhaps meet up in your dorm? Itâs your project after all.â
âBut you have all the art inspiration!â
âI canât argue with that.â
Kaminari chuckled quietly. âSo, this afternoon? After school?â he questioned afterwards, not really sure about it.
âYes, sure.â Todoroki replied with yet another nod.
Kaminari was super happy. He will hang out with Todoroki! That was surely something. Even if it was only for school purposes, it still made his heart race and it also made him feel all excited for it. âThank you once again, Todoroki! Youâre a lifesaver!â he ruffled the otherâs hair before blushing even more before he ran off to catch with his friends.
Todoroki watched Kaminari run while trying to proceed what just happened. He ran a hand through his hair so casually, like it was nothing. His almost invisible blush deepened. He glanced down and then continued walking towards his own friends to lunch.
âYour room is so awesome, Todoroki! I have always admired your style of decorating.â Kaminari said when he stepped in, looking around the room excitedly. He quickly scooted over to one of the paintings. âCan I touch it? It looks so smoothly painted.â
Todoroki didnât turn around as he sat down on the floor, preparing some art supplies for them to use. âPlease donât. I donât want to risk them being damaged.â he responded as he placed a huge paper on the floor in front of him.
âAw, alright! But they really look so amazing. I could stare at those paintings for days.â Kaminari said as he turned around with a grin, making his way towards Todoroki. Then, he plopped down on the floor on the opposite side of the paper, sliding some of the supplies to his side.
Todoroki quickly turned his gaze to the paper, hiding his face as much as possible with his hair. âSo⌠Um.. What was that you wanted me to help you with?â he questioned bluntly, trying to cover his frustration for some reason.
âMy project! Donât you remember?â
âYes, but,â Todoroki sighed quietly as he glanced up, âwhat was it about? Sorry, I forgot.â
âOh, that!â Kaminari fixed his sitting position a bit so he felt more comfortable. âI am supposed to paint or draw or whatever the true definition of art!â he exclaimed. âAnd I asked you to give me advice about it, remember?â
Todoroki nodded his head slightly. âAlright then. Iâll try to give you some.. advice.â
âGreat!â Kaminari grinned even more than before, staring at Todoroki curiously, resting his head on one of his hands.
âOkay, so.. The main topic of your theme is mainly up to you and how you picture it yourself. I canât really help you with that. But art, an art piece is something where you picture your honest feelings about the topic. Whether itâs something non living, an animal, a person or an abstract thing youâre painting or drawing you still put your feelings into it in the best way you can. Because thatâs just what art is about..â
And somewhere at that point it was as if Todorokiâs beautiful voice was becoming a background noise to him. His focus was on his face and how interested and passionate he got when talking about something he loved. At that moment, he was sure he was only smiling thoughtlessly and staring at Todoroki. But he didnât care. He was just too perfect for Kaminari to handle.
âI guess thatâs the most useful advice you can get from me. So, was it helpful?â
Kaminari blinked a few times. âOh, u-uh- Yeah? It sure was!â he responded nervously, hoping that Todoroki didnât notice that he didnât listen to most of the things he explained to him.
Todoroki looked at him with a suspicious glance before nodding his head. âAlright then. You can borrow my art supplies for your project for the time being.â he said, a small, not much noticeable smile forming on his face as he stood up and dusted off the non existing dust from his pants.
Denki stood up as well after he took some of the supplies Todoroki allowed him to borrow. âI canât thank you enough for helping me with this Todoroki. Youâre awesome!â he responded while grinning widely. âI would give you a pat or something but my hands are full.â he laughed softly.
âA pat?â Todoroki questioned, slightly confused about the fact that Kaminari wanted to pat him.
âYep! Like, ya know, for being a good pal to me!â
âOh.â Todoroki responded, still seeming to not understand but he let it be. âThen, see you later, Kaminari.â
The way his own name rolled off Todorokiâs tongue was very nice. âYou too, Todoroki! Good luck with you own art project.â he said before leaving the room.
âWhat are your plans for the weekend, guys? I wanted to hang out with Momo and Jirou, but I am not sure if they can.â Mina said with a small frown on her face as she took a bite of her sandwich.
âWeâre going to stargaze with Bakugou on Saturday night!â Kirishima excalimed, placing his arm along Bakugouâs shoulder, hugging him closer to himself, which made the explosive blonde groan.
âThat sounds more like a couple thing to do, guys.â Sero chuckled as he took a bite of his own meal.
âWho said it isnât a date?â Bakugou responded rather harshly, earning a deep blush from the redhead. The others smiled at that.
Kaminari was too busy staring at Todoroki who was sitting with Midoriya and others to reply to his friends. It seemed as if he always looked beautiful. Kaminari smiled a little to himself. But then Todoroki caught his glance and smiled a tiny bit before waving slightly at the blonde. That made Kaminariâs heart race. He quickly looked down, his face burning.
He finally realized what was happening with him all those weeks when Todoroki was around.
âDude. You definitely have a huge crush on Todoroki.â said Kirishima when he saw the scene.
Yes, he probably did. And it was a huge crush. He fell in love with Todoroki Shouto. A boy that was far out of his league. What the hell was he gonna do?
It was the day of his birthday. He already got perfect presents from his friends. Like a super nice and comfy scarf from Mina, because he got easily cold. Or new earphones from Sero because he broke his old ones. Also, Kirishima and Bakugou bought him a gift together. It was a videogame he wished for a long time already. But all the gifts made him happy. Other classmates just wished him happy birthday before hugging him or giving him a kiss to the cheek.
But not Todoroki. He was ignoring him all day, he didnât even look at him. Kaminari didnât want to be upset about that when it was his birthday, but. It actually made him really sad.
He sighed heavily when he plopped down onto his bed, face down. Todoroki probably didnât want to have anything with him. Was he getting his hopes up for nothing? His heart felt like it was going to shatter soon. And his stomach did weird things too.
And that sudden knock on the door didnât make it any better.
âCome in.â Kaminari shouted halfheartedly as he sat up from his laying position. He was surprised when he saw Todoroki come into his room, closing the door behind him.
âHello, Kaminari. Happy birthday.â he said in a quiet tone of voice, getting closer to him. He pointed to the bed, asking wordlessly if he can sit, to which Kaminari only nodded his head tiredly. âI hope you donât mind that I am here.â he added after a moment. He seemed to be somewhat nervous as he fiddled with the hem of his pastel blue shirt.
âWhy did you ignore me today? At this day?â Kaminari questioned, his voice as quiet as Todorokiâs would normally be. He let his sadness show. He didnât dare to look at him.
Todoroki took a deep breath before saying: âI was nervous about telling you something. I wanted to approach you, but built up courage to do so just a little while ago.â he responded, one of his hands trembling slightly.
âWhat do you want to tell me, Todoroki?â Kaminari glanced up, suddenly curious about what he had to say. And then he saw his expression, how nervous he seriously was. He looked adorable. Like always. He was always so cute.
âI.. I have to confess something to you, Kaminari.â Todoroki mumbled, looking at Kaminari as well.
âThen tell me.â Denkiâs heart was beating really fast and he was feeling nervous as well out of sudden.
Todoroki cleared his throat. âYouâre an amazing person, Kaminari. Youâre kind, youâre smart, youâre also funny.. And many other things,â Todoroki hid half of his face with his hand while starting to blush a light shade of red, âYouâre simply the most beautiful person Iâve ever seen. Youâre perfect. Whenever you smile at me, I feel this weird tingling in my stomach and my heart beats faster. And my face starts to burn just like now. Your presence makes me happy. Seeing you meters away makes me much more happy. And whenever you speak to me, I feel calm. Youâre so selfless and..â Todoroki paused to look at Kaminari, who was now blushing intensely while staring at Todoroki.
âAnd?â he questioned as he scooted a bit to closer to Todoroki.
âAnd.. a few days ago, I figured I am in love with you. I love you, Kaminari.â
At that moment, Kaminari felt as if the time stopped. Todoroki. Todoroki Shouto just said that he is in love with him. The boy that is so out of his league said that. He loved a loser like Kaminari. Oh my gosh. This couldnât be true. He was silent. For a few moments. Thank god Todoroki was so patient.
Instead of actually replying, Kaminari leaned in closer to Todoroki. And he understood. He actually met him halfway, pressing his soft lips against Kaminariâs. The kiss was messy and quite short, but they both enjoyed it, because it was their first one anyways. They pulled away after a while, before leaning in again, going for a better, much less messy kiss.
When they pulled away from the second kiss, Kaminari hugged Todoroki tight. There were actual tears of happiness in his eyes. âI love you too. I love you so much, Todoroki. I have for a long time.â he said quietly when Todoroki hugged him back after a second.
âThatâs great.â Todoroki said in a whisper and Kaminari knew he was smiling that adorable little smile of his. âBut please call me Shouto.â
Kaminari blushed even deeper, if that was possible. He buried his head into Todorokiâs shoulder. âThen call me Denki, please.â what he said came out muffled, but Todoroki could probably hear it. He hugged him a little more tight. It felt comfortable.
âAlso, you remember those paintings from my room?â Todoroki asked in a whisper. Kaminari hummed in reply. âI painted them. Every single one of them is my creation.â he said.
Oh. Now, it all made sense. How he blushed when Kaminari complimented the paintings. It also explained why they were so perfect. âThatâs why I called them amazing all the time.â he responded, pretending like he knew it already. Shouto laughed quietly, but softly.
At that moment, when they embraced each other like that and talked quietly, it felt right. It felt like they had to do this for a long time. After some time, they laid down on his bed, but they still kept each other in their arms, somehow. It was warm. And lovely. It was perfect. Everything was perfect with Todoroki Shouto.
After some while, when it was already quite dark outside and Shouto has fallen asleep in his embrace, he realized one thing.
He didnât have to ask for advice on his art project. Never. How could have he been so blind?
The true definition of art was right there, asleep on his own bed and laying in his arms while looking completely adorable.
