Be With Me Chapter 13: A little more realization

You cried yourself to sleep that night. The pain in your heart was too much and you couldn’t understand how he could be so cruel.

The next morning you texted Kaminari. “Hey!” You typed out. “Wanna go on a date today?”

“Hell yeah!” He replied enthusiastically. “What’s the occasion?”

“No occasion I just need a friend right now.” You replied bluntly.

“Is everything ok?” He asked.

“Not really but I’ll explain when I see you.”

You made plans I meet at the same cafe you had for your first date and got ready to leave.

……….

“So what’s up?” Kaminari asked after greeting you and finding a seat at the busy little cafe.

“Man I just don’t know anymore.” You sighed, telling him about last nights mixed signals. Ending with Eijirou deciding to ask Suki out.

“Man that’s rough.” He replied sympathetically. “What are you going to do?”

“Well what can I do?!” You said, exasperated. “He’s already made his mind up!”

Kaminari thought a minute then nodded. “Yeah maybe just leave him be. He’ll come to his senses eventually. I know he likes you. He just has to figure that out himself.”

You nodded glumly. “Do I actually like him though Kaminari? Or am I just jealous that he has someone and I don’t?”

“You can have me?” Kaminari winked at you and wiggled his eyebrows.

You chuckled. “Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind.”

He grinned.

You two spent the next hour or so chatting and laughing and it was nice to have someone to take your mind off things. He was a good guy and cute too, maybe he could be your boyfriend?

You listened as he chatted on about something and your mind wandered. Your gaze fell to his lips and you decided to try that test Mei had told you about and thought about kissing him. The minute he leaned in in your mind to kiss you you pulled away. Nope! Definitely couldn’t kiss him!

Your attention was bought back to the present when you realized that he had stopped talking.

“Oh! Sorry Kaminari!” You apologized. Realizing he had caught you mid-daydream.

He had a very seductive look on his face and he leaned in, placing his elbows on the table. “Were you just thinking about kissing me Y/N?” He said in a low, provocative tone.

Your face went bright red. How did he know that?!

“Uh, no no no no no I-I wasn’t!” You stuttered nervously.

“Oh?” He smirked. “I saw you staring at my lips just then.”

“No no I wasn’t I was just uhhhh.” You looked around wildly trying to find some kind of excuse.

He laughed. “You can kiss me if you want.” He said invitingly.

“No I’m good I promise.” You replied, hands up in defense.

“Ok ok.” He giggled. “Wanna go for a walk then?”

“Sure.” You said bashfully. Following him to the front doors.

You exited the cafe and started off down the road when Kaminari looked up. “Oh here’s trouble.” He said, nodding ahead.

You looked up to where he nodded and there was Eijirou coming towards you, hand in hand with Suki. You soured and grabbed for Kaminari’s hand which surprised him but he immediately caught on to what you were doing and followed your lead.

“Ahh I see.” He said slyly. “Wait, I can go one better ok?”

And before you had a chance to ask what he meant he pulled you over the building wall and pinned you up against it. Boxing you in with his hands beside your head. “Just go with it.” He whispered. “I’m going to pretend I’m kissing your neck ok?”

He leaned in and tucked his head into the crook of your neck, his hot breath shooting across your collarbone.

“Put your hands on me so it looks like you’re enjoying this.” He whispered lowly. You obeyed and closed your eyes.

“Eijirou is gonna be so jealous.” He whispered to you. “Make a little moaning noise or something. He might hear it.”

You let a small moaning sigh escape your lips and you heard Kaminari’s breathing hitch. “Wow that was hot!” He chuckled.

Next minute he was ripped off you and thrown to the ground. Your eyes shot open in fright and to your surprise Eijirou was standing there, quirk fully activated and angry.

“What did I tell you about touching her.” Eijirou growled at Kaminari who was lying on the ground.

“Sharky! Sharky, it’s ok.” You said, reaching out to touch his arm. His hardening quirk had made his forearm angular and sharp and as your palm came in contact with it, it sliced you open.

You recoiled in pain and stepped away from him. He turned and saw what had happened and disengaged immediately.

“Icks! Icky I’m so sorry! Are you ok?? I didn’t mean to hurt you!” He cried. Grabbing onto you and forcing you to show him your palm. There was blood everywhere. “Kaminari! grab some napkins from inside the cafe!” He ordered.

The next few minutes saw him tending to you with a very confused and hurt Suki watching on.

Kaminari ended up taking you home, much to Eijirou’s dismay and he watched with dejection as Kaminari took you away.

Later that night there was a knock on the door. It was Eijirou.

“Hey.” He said sullenly. “Can I come in?”

You nodded and let him inside, walking back into the lounge room.

“How’s the hand?” He asked, gesturing to your bandaged palm.

“It’s ok.” You said smiling weakly. “Sharky can I ask what happened today? Why did you get so mad at Kaminari?”

He froze and stared at the floor, leaning back against the couch as you sat across from him.

“Uh…” he paused. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” You quizzed, cocking your head to the side.

“Yeah.” He said quietly.

“Well how did you go with Suki then?” You asked.

“Umm.. I broke it off with her.” He said softly.

Your heart leapt in your chest. “You did?! Why?”

“Ummm… something just wasn’t right…” he said. Not wanting to give too much away.

“Oh… ok then?” You said. Hoping he would elaborate.

“I umm just wanted to drop by and make sure you were alright.” He said, looking up at you. “I think I need to call Kaminari and apologize though. I’d better go. I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Yeah sure.” You said. A soft smile on your face. He smiled back.
