Hey so how do you think Denki Kaminari would deal with him just being himself around his very pretty girly crush and at some point while crush is trying to focus on the battlefield or in class. She’s annoyed while saying, “Denki, I’m trying to focus. Can you stop? You’re making me feel cuteness aggression towards you right now and it’s distracting while I’m trying to concentrate!” ?
AN: thank you for the ask ! :) feel free to (aka PLEASE) drop more scenarios/prompts in my inbox ! I had so much fun with this ask and love these kinds of brain worms ! -- J CW: fluff, pining, feminine/girly reader but still GN, biting (just a little)
Usually, it’s actually pretty easy for Denki to hide the fact that he’s basically always staring at his crush. There are enough distractions in the classroom, in training and especially in the battlefield that he finds himself getting pretty comfortable watching them.
Not in a weird way, he swears. Just… they’re kind of impossible to take his eyes off of. So feminine and cute, even down to their mannerisms like sneezing or how they write the date at the top of their schoolwork.
Even when he’s focusing on his own assignment or role in the mission, after long enough Denki finds his thoughts wandering back to them: The delicate clothes they prefer, the way they always do their hair and like to put little clips and charms and stickers on everything to brighten up little parts of the world around them… he can’t seem to get enough.
His crush is like a fantasy princess come alive in Denki’s eyes and powerful, too, like the magical girl shows he secretly watched up until middle school and might only open up to them about someday, if only to ask (very shyly) that they cosplay one of the characters.
But when he’s caught in the act, staring at them while fantasizing about the look on their face when he finally goes for it and brings them some chocolate this Valentine’s day, Denki’s brain seems to short-circuit a little and he needs a second to come back into the physical moment.
What was just going on? What are those perfect lips actually saying? Focus, Kaminari, focus!
“Denki,” they’re saying while he’s busy tracking the way their eyes look so hot when they’re rolling them at him, “I’m trying to focus. Can you stop?”
They’re in the middle of quirk training, combining abilities in a way they’ve already practiced a handful of times but haven’t mastered just yet.
“Huh? Stop?” His gaze snaps back to his hands, which are (thankfully) still sending a steady charge to the targets they’re supposed to be attacking, then back to their face which scrunches up so adorably when they’re frustrated that it’s an effort to concentrate when they continue.
“Yeah, I mean, you’re making me feel total cuteness aggression toward you right now and it’s distracting while I’m trying to concentrate!”
The grin spreading across his face is unstoppable once the revelation sets in a few beats later.
“You… think I’m cute?!”
Denki’s crush laughs at that and he swears he feels something in his stomach swoop, less like butterflies and more like Dark Shadow’s huge wingspan in the way that it completely takes him out. Even their laugh -- no, *especially* their laugh -- is pretty.
The training session carries on with Denki feeling a little bolder. Eventually he asks for clarification on cuteness aggression: “I’ve never even heard of that. Does that mean you, like, wanna beat me up for being so cute or something?” (Bakugou, who overhears this, instantaneously lets him know that he’ll kick his ass no matter what his stupid face looks like any day of the week.)
Denki really considers it though, as he and his crush move into the next phase of the assigned training and get onto the mat to spar. He’s had general experience flirting, sure, but never found somebody cute enough that he’d let them bite him or something. But when they manage to pin him and sink their teeth into the meat of his hand, he can’t ignore the way his pulse picks up and just hopes they don’t notice.
