Chapter 18
After the unfortunate Ferris wheel ride, Izuku and Sero returned to the house. As much as Izuku didn't want to see Shinsou any time soon, he also didn't want to be alone or see his brother (who would laugh and say I told you so). Locking himself in Sero's room with him and Kaminari was his best option.
"So," Kaminari drawled, testing the waters as they scrolled through a streaming platform for something to watch, "how're we feeling?"
"About what?" Izuku hummed. He was sitting crisscross on the bed, his elbows resting on his knees and his chin in his palm. His eyes were scanning over all the options for TV shows and movies, not finding anything that sounded particularly appealing.
Kaminari's eyes glanced away from the TV to Izuku. "About... the whole Shinsou thing?"
Izuku blinked, looking at the blond, then Sero, then back to Kaminari. "Did you know?" he asked, suspicion leaking into his voice.
"Well," Kaminari said sheepishly, dragging the word out and answering the question for Izuku. "I'm sorry, dude! He's my best friend, and he threatened to kill me!"
Izuku rolled his eyes with a huff, not at all surprised but still feeling the sting of betrayal. It wasn't just about Shinsou anymore; it was the fact that the two people he considered his best friends had hidden something like that from him. It was fine, though, because he already knew how they could make it up to him.
"It's fine, Denks. Don't worry about it," he insisted while shrugging one shoulder.
The blond looked him over skeptically, not believing it would be that easy. He knew Izuku, and it was never that easy. "Alright, what's the catch?" he asked slowly.
Izuku's face split into a shit-eating grin. His friends knew him so well already. "Remember when you offered to make him jealous?"
"Done," Kaminari said with his own smile, leaning back against the wall behind Sero's bed and patting his lap. He shot Izuku a wink, "Wanna start now?"
Izuku couldn't help the bubbly laugh that escaped his lips as he shifted to straddle the blond. "Oh, this is going to be fun, isn't it?" he asked, tilting his head and letting his arms wrap around Kaminari's neck.
"So much fun," he agreed with a mischievous glint in his eyes that should not have excited Izuku as much as it had.
Sero playfully rolled his eyes at the duo, clicking on a random sitcom and sitting back on the bed. He was leaning back on his elbows, glancing over at the two of them with a brow raised. "Does this mean I get to kiss you again, mi corazon?"
"Again?" Kaminari asked, perking up at the words. His golden eyes flashed between his two friends quickly. "When the fuck did you two kiss? Why did no one tell me?"
Kaminari's lips had morphed into a frown, leading Izuku to swipe his thumb across it with a small smirk. "Awe, do you want a kiss too?" he teased, not missing the way Kaminari's eyes flashed down to his lips for a moment.
The blond quickly shook his head like he was trying to rid himself of whatever spell Izuku had cast on him. "I just wanna know why no one told me," he said with a pout.
Izuku lightly laughed, letting his fingers comb through the hair at the back of Kaminari's neck. "It was today, on the Ferris wheel. It was disgustingly romantic," he admitted quietly.
"Just trying to give you what you deserve, baby," Sero said with a dopey grin. For all his flirting and pestering for Izuku to give him a chance, he seemed remarkably at ease with Izuku's intimate position with Kaminari. It didn't go unnoticed by the green-haired man.
Izuku huffed, shaking his head quickly. "You two are going to be the death of me, I swear," he mumbled.
"Why is that?" Sero asked, a teasing lilt to his voice as he pushed himself up further and closed the distance between them. He was now sitting directly to Izuku's left, with only an inch or two of space between them as Izuku was still sitting on Kaminari. He was officially cornered. "We're just going to introduce you to standards, something you seriously need to raise."
"Hey, I have standards!" Izuku complained, shifting back just a touch to allow himself room to breathe.
Sero set him a pointed look.
He huffed and slouched. "Okay, so the bar's on the floor, and Shinsou still managed to trip over it, whatever."
Kaminari lightly grabbed his chin, forcing Izuku to meet his eyes. He was wearing a teasing smile as he winked, "The first step is admitting you have a problem."
Izuku pushed him off, crossing his arms with a small pout. "I'm not an addict."
"You're addicted to terrible men," Sero corrected, flopping back on the bed next to Kaminari and watching Izuku with a playful smile.
"You two aren't terrible," Izuku pointed out.
Sero sucked in a breath through his teeth, shaking his head. "Yet you keep running from all our advances. What does that say about you, baby?"
Izuku threw his head back with a groan, knowing it'd be easier to just give in, "That I'm addicted to terrible men."
"He finally admits it!" Kaminari cheered.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Izuku said with a sigh, but his lips were still pulled back in a smile. "You wanna watch something or make out in the living room?" he asked with a raised brow.
"To the living room!" Kaminari cried, rushing to get up. He didn't even let Izuku get off him; just picked him right up like the man weighed nothing. Izuku didn't know Kaminari was strong, but god damn.
Does this turn me on? Holy shit, I think it turns me on, he thought in blind panic, looking at the floor beneath him.
"Oh, for the love- Denki!" Sero shouted as Kaminari quickly made his way out of his bedroom. He didn't bother waiting for the dark-haired man, just made a bee-line for the stairs as Izuku quietly laughed from where he was koala-wrapped around him.
"Someone's eager," Izuku teased as they made it to the living room. He was quickly thrown onto the couch, bouncing once before he settled onto the cushions, his back leaning against the armrest.
"I'm always eager to make out with a pretty boy," Kaminari said with a smooth wink, slotting himself on top of Izuku, his arms braced on either side of him and caging the younger man between him and the couch.
Izuku went bright red, not expecting that from Kaminari. He knew the blond was a flirt, of course, he knew that, but to see him flip a switch and actually pursue Izuku... Well, he hadn't expected it, and he hadn't expected it to be so hot. He'd always thought of Kaminari as a goofy and playful flirt, but apparently, the second he was given consent, he did a whole one-eighty.
Without Izuku noticing (could you really blame him for being distracted?), Sero entered the living room and gave Kaminari a swift smack to the back of his head. "Shinsou's not even home, dumbass. The point is to make him jealous, he can't be jealous if he doesn't even know," he huffed, falling back on the couch behind Kaminari.
Kaminari sat back with an annoyed pout, glaring at Sero over his shoulder. "Iz was into it."
"Obviously," Sero said with an eye roll, "but that's not really the point, is it?"
"Whatever, cock-block," Kaminari muttered, shifting so he was fully off of Izuku and allowing him to start thinking again.
"You two are actually going to kill me," he mumbled after a few moments, when his brain had caught back up.
Sero let his head tip back so he could see Izuku around Kaminari, a teasing smirk on his lips. "We'll try not to, baby."
"Thanks," Izuku said back sarcastically.
I have wifi again and can finally update!!!!!!! I hope you're ready for angst, because I did not just end a year and half long relationship to not use it as angst fuel.
