I finally got to finish this piece! I’ve been rereading some parts of the manga and I fell in love with this ship all over again <3 Monoma is such a little shit, he’ll get himself brainwashed in no time! (Or kissed, who knows?)
Gets too domestic and mushy, to the others disgust?
:3
Okay I haven’t really edited this extensively, but I hope you like it! I had some fun writing them as an established couple :D And thanks so much for the request! This was so fun to do!! Let me know how you like it!
“Shinshou, I swear to god if you lose this round you’re out of the group no cap.” Sero said, staring down at Shinshou’s laptop.
Shinshou currently was desperately searching for diamonds to make a sword. If he could find another diamond in a chest and then craft a sword before the time was up, he would surely secure the win. This was the fifth round of minecraft hunger games he had played, all of which he and his partner Sero had won. The first two rounds went pretty well because Denki and Mina both were hunted and killed off early on by Bakugou and Kirishima. The last three were close calls, one of which included a long drawn out battle between him and Bakugou who was surprisingly adept at minecraft.
Point was, Shinshou was a highly competitive person, and yeah he had just learned to play, but there was no way in hell he was going to lose his win streak. The winning team of this round got to pick the movie for movie night next Tuesday. As much as he loved his boyfriend Kaminari he would rather fall down a flight of stairs then watch “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” one more time, and boy was Denki a threat this round. No, not because he was good at the game, or because he was still alive, no in fact he had died early on again, but no Mina was still alive and kicking. Which meant Denki would do whatever it took to make sure they won, and got to pick the movie, and this included fucking with Shinshou.
There were two reasons they were never allowed to partner up together on Minecraft night, one because they kicked ass, and two because they fucked around constantly. One minute they were out looting the hell out of chests and killing whoever crossed them, and the next Denki was cuddling up to Shinshou and- Look Shinshou was a strong focused dude, but everyone has a weakness okay? Who could blame him if he got distracted by his cute boyfriend and tried to sneak a few kisses during games?? Nothing wrong with that! Anyway, the others were not a fan of too much mushy couple stuff during game night.
“Fuck, fuck, why are all the chests full of trash??” Shinshou muttered to himself, opening yet another chest full of bread and string.
“Oh wow you struggling there babe?” Denki whispered, shifting closer to Shinshou, now fully leaning against his back.
Quickly without looking away from the screen Shinshou took a hand off his keyboard and jabbed a finger into Denki’s side earning a very loud squawk in his ear, but successfully launching Denki off him. Within a second though his boyfriend returned to his back, resting his head on Shinshou’s shoulder to peer over it and see the screen.
“Shinshou dude, you’ve only got a couple of minutes before you’re sent to the arena.” Sero said from behind Shinshou’s other shoulder.
“I know, is Bakugou still alive?” He said.
He was searching another building far in one corner of the map, it hadn’t appeared to be looted yet and he was praying one of the chests inside would have a diamond. There was a stretch of silence as he searched and Sero walked to the other side of the room where Bakugou and Kirishima were playing. Both were unusually silent when playing, purely focused on winning.
“No, he’s dead.”
“Shut the fuck up go back to your side of the fucking room.”
Shuffling could be heard as Sero leisurely walked back over to take his seat at Shinshou’s side. This was good, he only had to worry about fighting Kirishima and Mina in the arena then. Mina was a wild card though, sometimes she was crazy good and other times she would fall off a cliff or light herself on fire.
“Oh fuck, yes!” Shinshou felt a smile spread across his face as he saw the singular diamond in the chest, just what he needed.
“Oh my god you’ve got like a minute dude go!” Sero said excitement laced in his voice.
They had already decided on their movie, Parasite. Shinshou could practically feel the win right at his fingertips and there was no way he was letting it go. Sprinting he quickly went back in the direction of the crafting table they had found earlier in the map. Hopefully he wouldn’t run into anyone on the way, as he probably had just enough time to craft the sword before he would be placed in the arena with Mina.
“Aw damn it not again!” Kirishima exclaimed from across the room. This probably signified his death.
He wasn’t a bad player. Honestly, he trusted Kirishima and Bakugou’s movie choice more than he did Denki and Mina’s. So, him winning wouldn’t have been too bad.
Shinshou shifted forward, he had just got to the crafting table and opened it up. He could feel a rush of anxiety as he knew he probably only had seconds before he was in the arena, he had to craft the sword quickly.
“Shit where the hell is the stick why is my inventory so fuckin-” Shinshou lurched away feeling the rush of air in his ear. “Kitten I swear to fuck do not fuckin-”
“Oh my god dude you have literally seconds!” Sero shook his shoulder and knocked Shinshou’s thought process off track again.
“Uhhh okay, fuck fuck” With shaking hands Shinshou moved the stick from his inventory and into the crafting bench, placing the diamonds.
“YES!!” Sero and him called in unison as he pulled the sword into his inventory.
Not even a second later time was up and he was being moved to the arena. As it popped up he froze.
“Wait Mina is it just you and me?” He asked, staring over at the girl in the corner of the room.
She glanced up, Bakugou and Kirishima were both at her sides supposedly watching her screen, there was a mischievous look on her face. “Yep”
“Well sh-”
Shinshou felt Denki poke his side. “Babe it’s starting!” He said bringing Hitoshi’s attention back to the screen.
Shinshou took a deep breath as it started, this was the moment he had prepared for. How this ended would dictate movie night next Tuesday, there was no way he could lose. There was way too much on the line and he had to bring his A game and focus. He and Mina began to circle around each other in the arena, lava surrounding them. This could be a quick battle and one wrong move on either part would be the end. Quickly, he sprinted toward her and began to attack.
“Fuck! I swear to god do not push me over the edge Shinshou.” She said skirting around him as he got close enough to hit her.
“Haha sounds like a you problem.”
Shinshou hit her a few times before she doubled back and sprinted forward catching him by surprise and getting some of her own hits in.
“You asshole, die already”
He pushed her back, enacting an onslaught of hits on her. His hunger bar was dropping but he didn't stop his attack to eat. Before he could finish her off she sprinted away and his bar had dropped so low he couldn’t sprint after her. He placed a cake and ate a few slices before running at Mina once more who was running around the arena.
“Mina get back here and stop running around.”
Shinshou was so concentrated on chasing Mina around the arena he didn’t feel his boyfriend shift off his back before it was too late. Denki had moved to his side and before he knew it a kiss was being pressed into his cheek, and two arms encircled around him. He felt his heart stutter and cheeks warm and he subconsciously leaned into his boyfriend's arms. In his distraction he had ceased movement, and Mina had run at him brandishing her own diamond sword and hitting him.
“Shinshou dude!” Quickly he was startled out of his state by Sero’s yelling and began to move again.
“Fuck FUCK FUCK”
He tried hitting Mina back but she was running at him and hitting him, and pushing him back towards the lava at an extreme rate. He was losing hearts like mad and he futilely tried to run away. Right as he was at the edge he felt a hand slip under his shirt and brush against his bare side. Goosebumps formed on his skin immediately as he shot up and he nearly threw his laptop away from him. Shinshou watched open mouthed as he fell into the lava having been hit over the edge by Mina.
“FUCK YEAH BABY” She screamed pumping her fist in the air.
Sero collapsed on the floor. “Motherfucker! Shinshou what the hell dude!”
“Damn bro that was a good game.”
“Man you fucking idiots shut the hell up.”
The others voices drowned out as Shinshou turned to look at his boyfriend. He was sitting leaning against Shinsho’s side and smiling sheepishly up at the taller boy, his face was red but there was not a trace of regret on it. Shinshou found his eyes and they held eye contact for a second, he took in his boyfriend's pretty face. He had such a nice smile, such beautiful eyes. He leaned closer and could hear Denki’s breath catch in his throat, Shinshou’s eyes traveled down to Denki’s soft lips and then back to his eyes. The air between them was loaded and electric, and both held their breaths. Shinshou’s eyes lidded as he leaned impossibly closer, their noses touching.
“You’re dead.” He whispered, and like a flip was switched Denki jolted back laughter spilling from his lips.
Shinshou lunged forward from the floor wrapping his arms around Denki’s middle and causing them both to tumble down to the floor. In a few quick movements and much to Denki’s avail Shinshou had his boyfriend pinned underneath him. Shinshou’s hands found Denki’s sides where his shirt had risen from the tussle and without a second of hesitation he began to tickle up and down the soft skin. Denki let out an ungodly shriek before laughing uncontrollably, and Shinshou could feel a smile stretch across his face as his own laughter joined in.
“HAHAHA Oh my HAHA GOD SHIN STOOOP PLEASE IM SORRY!” Denki was wheezing desperately trying to push away and failing.
“This is what you get for making me lose you asshole.” Shinshou said laughing maniacally as he watched his boyfriend squirm.
“PLEASE!!”’ Denki shoved and shoved, eventually knocking Shinshou off balance and causing him to crash into the soft carpet next to him.
“Fuck!” Shinshou said as he fell onto the floor, holding his stomach as he laughed.
Soon he relaxed onto the floor, riding out his wave of laughter and trying to catch his breath. Once the burning in his stomach began to let up, and his breath returned to him he turned his head to look over at Denki. The other boy was lying trying to collect himself as well. They caught eyes and Shinshou felt his smile return and soon Denki mirrored the soft smile.
Shinshou felt the familiar buzzing warmth wash over him, it was the same feeling he got whenever he looked at Denki. Slowly he turned onto his side, lying against Denki. Everything was warmer the closer he got to the other. They were face to face, and despite being so close, to Shinshou they felt too far away. He reached out and grabbed behind his boyfriend’s head and pulled him closer, closing the gap between their heads and slotting their lips together.
He released a contented sigh through his nose as Denki shifted closer, feeling his fingers thread through his hair.
“Shinshou I can’t believe you’re fraternizing with the enemy”
“Oh my god every time!”
A sparking sound came from a few feet away. “You fuckers do this every damn time.”
Immediately the two pulled apart and looked over at their friends who stood staring disapprovingly at them with varying degrees of disgust. Shinshou glanced back at Denki whose face was flaming red and bit back a smile. They did have a point.
“Sorry guys, maybe next time don’t sic Denki on me as a way to win Mina.” Shinshou said, sitting up and pulling his boyfriend with him.
“There’s no fucking difference either way. You idiots always end up making out anyway.” Bakugou said, rolling his eyes. “I’m going to bed fuckers, I’ve seen enough shit tonight.” Then he turned away, stomping out the door. Always so elegant with his goodbyes.
For a second the room watched him go and then Kirishima sighed and looked at Shinshou “He’s right, every time, without fail.” Then he shrugged. “It is kind of cute though.” He spoke smiling before turning and walking out.
