Chapter 10
Back with chapter ten of Walking Among Shadows (may change title to "Walker" instead of Walking hmm...) Anyways, this chapter and the next chapter will be chilled chapters with less fighting, things like that. So, without further adieu...
Chelsea and Devin finished moving Chelsea's things and also Devin's things into the large beach side house as several bay windows built the walls of the living room overlooking the sea and sand.
"That's the last box," Devin said, walking into the living room as Chelsea was putting up pictures of her and Devin when they were kids and explored the world with their parents. Devin walked over, hugging Chelsea from behind as she smiled slightly.
"I miss our parents," Chelsea said, wiping a tear away, "I'm sure they would've loved everyone."
"Oh, you're not lying there," Devin said, smirking as Chelsea laughed a bit.
"It's almost eight," Chelsea said, checking her phone and receiving a message from Asui, "Everyone's waiting."
"Do we have everything ready?" Devin asks, looking at the massive display of food and sodas, water, and energy drinks.
"Yeah," Chelsea said as the pair headed outside, walking down an oak wood bridge and onto a cliff side pathway heading towards the port district of Musutafu.
//////////////////////////////////////////////
Class 1-A waited for Devin and Chelsea wearing casual clothes with their overnight bags smiling a bit.
"Where are they?" Tsuyu asks, checking her phone, receiving a message from Chelsea, "Ribbit, they're on their way."
"Hey guys!" Chelsea said as she and Devin walked around a corner, smiling at Class 1-A.
"Woah!" Sero said with wide eyes staring as the guys stared except Denki and Mineta, who were gawking. Chelsea wore a two-piece casual dress as well as flats smirking.
"Mouths close boys," Chelsea said as the guys shook their heads smiling at her. Devin came from the corner smirking a bit wearing a gray punk rock t-shirt and faded jeans, which Jirou smiles slightly at.
"Y'all ready to get this party started?" Devin asked, smiling as the group cheered excitedly. Chelsea and Devin led the group towards the mansion as Class 1-A carefully maneuvered through the craggy cliffside.
"We should play a game of Truth or Dare!" Toru suggested as the group nodded except for Devin, who was sweating a bit.
"Nah, count me out," Devin said, "The last time I played that game. I almost got strangled by Chelsea's father."
"Really?" Mineta asked, smiling a bit, "What did you do?"
"He got dared to streak through my home," Chelsea said with a smirk, "And all the girls were gawking."
Some of the class 1-A group began snickering while the others full-blown began laughing hysterically. Devin sighs a bit, shaking his head.
"Alright," Toru said, "Devin doesn't have to play the game."
Devin smiles a bit at everyone understanding. After a while, the group arrived at the beach house as Mina and Ochako had looks of awe on their faces.
"You two are so lucky," Mina said as Chelsea smiled. Everyone entered immediately, noticing the food and drinks.
"We'll probably crash out in the living room," Chelsea said as the group nodded, "But for now, let's party!"
Everyone cheered as Chelsea began playing music from her phone, and everyone began dancing, snacking, or getting something to drink. Devin; however, went outside on to the balcony while everyone else partied having a great time.
"I wonder if my godfather saw the match," Devin said to himself, checking his phone every few moments. Mineta looks over at Devin curiously and then walks over to Chelsea.
"Hey, what's going on with Devin?" Mineta asks as Chelsea, Jirou, and Tsuyu look over at Devin curiously.
"He's waiting on a text or phone call from someone," Chelsea said, smiling, taking a sip of tea.
"Really? From who, Ribbit?" Tsuyu asked as Chelsea smiled.
"From his godfather," Chelsea said as Mina looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I didn't know Devin had a godfather," Mina said curiously as Chelsea smiled.
"Neither did I till I met him several years ago on a trip to the US," Chelsea said as the group looked at her.
"You've been to the States?!" Mina, Tsuyu, Mineta, and Jirou exclaimed as Chelsea nodded. Devin eyes inside as Chelsea talked with the group, smiling. His phone then vibrates as he reads the message, smiling slightly wider. He walked inside, grabbed a wireless keyboard, and began typing on it as Bakugo walked over.
"What are you doing?" Bakugo asks as the TV screen pops up with a desktop of Chelsea and Devin when they were kids as the girls began making cute faces.
"You two are so cute!" Ochako said, smiling, causing Chelsea and Devin to smirk slightly. A message popped up as Bakugo read it.
"Who's 'TheOneTrueNephalem'?" Bakugo asks as Devin grabbed a mouse, moving over to the yes button as a video screen pops up. A male sat in a chair with bandaged eyes as he smiled.
"Well, I hope this makes it up to you for the failed visits, Dev," the male said, leaning back in his chair. He wore a peace and war t-shirt with a jean jacket over it.
"It does, Dëm," Devin replied with a smile as the 1-A students went wide-eyed, staring at the screen.
"The youngest hero of North America is your Godfather?!" The entire class yells as Devin and Chelsea chuckled.
"Yep," Devin said, nodding as Dëm sighed on the video.
"You know you could give me some credit, I'm actually on my way to Japan to be your and Chelsea's hero to shadow," Dëm said, smirking.
"For real?!" Devin and Chelsea exclaimed as Dëm nods, smiling a bit. The others were wide-eyed, getting the chance to meet the youngest hero alive.
"Well damn didn't think I would also impress your friends?" Dëm said, laughing hysterically as he sighed, "I also have something for you, Devinion."
Chelsea would eye Devin, who was wide-eyed and going bright red.
"What was that?" Chelsea asks, crossing her arms as Dëm blinks, realizing his mistake.
"Oh fuck... she doesn't know your actual name..." Dëm said.
"Yeah, no shit, thanks godfather..." Devin said as Chelsea was still staring Devin down as the others were smirking smugly.
"Someone's in the doghouse," Sato said as Jiro nodded. This would earn both of them a Yang powered shield to their heads as Devin was silently laughing as his body language showed it.
"I'll... be there tomorrow morning," Dëm said, ending the call.
"Don't give me that look, Ghost," Devin immediately said as Chelsea kept staring him down.
"I'm gonna keep giving you this look... Devinion," Chelsea said as she whispered his actual name into his room, causing Devin to bite his lower lip.
"That was precisely the reason why I told him to NEVER tell you my real name..." Devin whimpers as the others begin laughing.
"Damn it, can you tell me why you get all the hotties?" Mineta asks, crossing his arms.
"Wanna know the actual reason?" Devin asks as Mineta nods before Devin leans down and whispers something in his ear with Mineta's eyes widening, then eyeing Devin, who smiled back at Mineta.
"Really?" Mineta asks as Devin nods with the girls frowned at Devin.
"What did you tell the pervert?" Toru asks as Devin sighs.
"One get humbled you girls," Devin said bluntly as Chelsea snorted, "Cause I told him the same thing I told all the girls in the Lason clan who simply wanted my dick. Be yourself, and you may get that chance. But I also told them THAT they would never get that chance with how God awful their behavior was..."
"...We just got humbled..." Momo said as Chelsea was laughing hysterically.
"Oh, big time," Chelsea said as Devin hugged her with his only arm with Chelsea smiling.
"But Mineta, honestly, you have to be yourself more than this perverted bastard you've made yourself..." Devin said, "Now, perverted thoughts aren't bad now and then. But you need to have self-control."
"Wow..." Mineta said as he blinked, "No one's actually took the time to talk like that to me."
"Well, when you have someone constantly trying to do everything in her power to catch sight of my lower body..." Devin said, having his turn to stare down Chelsea, who was smiling goofy and trying to put an innocent face on, "You learn a thing or two..."
"Really now?" Denki questioned, smiling smugly at Chelsea as did Mineta.
"Payback is a bitch, isn't it Chelsea?" Devin asks as Chelsea flipped him off.
"I despise you, Devinion," Chelsea said as Devin acted hurt as he walked off to his bedroom, "Wait, I was kidding!!"
"No, no, I see how it is..." Devin said, pouting as Chelsea sighs, laying on the couch with Devin entering his room.
"I hate him when he does that... but I know that was uncalled for," Chelsea said, "But, I will admit... I had that coming."
The others began laughing as they began playing Truth or Dare.
"Actually... I'm opting out from the game," Mineta said as he headed for Devin's room, wanting to check on him. The others nodded, but Chelsea smiled a bit, noticing a slight change in Mineta's demeanor.
"Hey Devin?" Mineta said, knocking on the door before opening it, not seeing Devin as he frowns.
"Guys," Mineta said, entering the living room, "Devin's not in his room?"
The group would quickly hear noises outside close by as Chelsea smiles.
"He's probably outside training, knowing Devin," Chelsea said as Mineta walked outside before he jumped onto the railing, pulling himself up before watching Devin throwing right and left palm punches panting slightly. Devin took a sigh, removing his shirt as he stretched slightly, sitting on the sand staring at the ocean waves thinking.
"What's he thinking about?" Mineta asks as Chelsea approaches, leaving the others to keep playing. Chelsea sat next to Mineta, also eyeing Devin.
"Honestly, that's been something I wanted to be able to do," Chelsea said as Mineta jumped in slight horror, holding his chest, causing Chelsea to giggle, "You may be the first person to actually do that."
"If I had to guess... probably about his parents," Mineta said, staring at Devin rather curiously. Chelsea blinks as she smiles using her shadow tendrils to pick up Mineta, placing him on the sand.
"Go talk with him," Chelsea said, smiling a bit. She was actually trying to get Devin to open up more because she knew that Devin was still hurt over his past. Mineta nods as he gulps, approaching Devin before sitting next to him quietly.
"Honestly, I see a bit of Chelsea's personality in you," Devin said as Mineta stared at him quietly, "That's why whenever the group kept calling you a disgusting perverted person. Made me want to punch every single one of them..."
"...Really?" Mineta asks, looking down at the sand, "I actually have a confession..."
"Hmm?" Devin eyed Mineta as Devin noticed something genuinely off about him. Devin had created his black arm rubbing Mineta's back tenderly.
"I'm... actually not into girls..." Mineta said quietly but loud enough for Devin to hear as Devin stopped rubbing Mineta's back, "I'm sorry I shouldn't..."
"Don't be, actually, that's really cool," Devin said, looking out at the ocean, "I'm actually bi. Chelsea is the only person who knows."
"Wait? Really?" Mineta asks as Devin nods with Mineta smiling a bit, then lying on Devin's leg, thinking, "Don't go telling the others, please..."
"I won't," Devin said, eyeing Chelsea, who was listening the entire time as she made the motion of her lips being sealed before heading back inside, noticing most of the group started to fall asleep.
"Alright, we better head to bed," Chelsea said as Toru and the others nodded, grabbing their sleeping bags and beginning to get ready for bed.
"Where's Mineta and Devin?" Toru asks as Chelsea smiles a bit.
"They're talking," Chelsea replied as she looked outside, still seeing Devin and Mineta talking before heading to her room.
"Actually, I need to thank you all for helping Devin," Chelsea said as the class eyes her smiling, "You don't understand what this means to me and him."
"We get it. We're happy for you two," Midoriya chimes in as he smiles happily. Chelsea wiped her eyes before smiling.
"Good night, fellow classmates," Chelsea said, entering her room as the others smiled, then went to bed themselves.
"Oh shit, we've been out here for a while," Devin said, checking his phone with Mineta, laughing a bit. Devin notices Mineta having a genuine smile on as Devin smiles.
"Wear that smile on," Devin said as Mineta blushed a bit, noticing Devin was staring at him. Mineta hums, looking away as he thinks.
"I shouldn't be thinking this. You're with Chelsea..." Mineta said as Devin smiled.
"We actually have a rule," Devin said as Mineta eyes him, "If one of us dies by something, we told each other that the other would move on and find love because we deserve so much happiness in this world."
Mineta smiled a bit, listening to Devin speak.
"You have so much trust in each other," Mineta replied as Devin nodded before Mineta bit his bottom lip. Before Devin could react, Mineta had jumped, planting his lips on Devin's lips as Devin went wide-eyed.
"I am so sorry..." Mineta said as Devin began laughing deeply and heartily as Mineta watched.
"Don't be," Devin said as Chelsea was laughing in her window with Chelsea smiling.
"So... Chelsea?" Mineta said as Devin chuckles, pointing to her window as Mineta was wide-eyed seeing a smirking Chelsea who waved at them, "I'm so embarrassed..."
"We better get to bed, I know my godfather is gonna run my training to hell and back... literally," Devin commented as Mineta snorted slightly, "But do me a favor... at least apologize to the girls?"
"No, that's at the top of my list," Mineta said as Devin smiled, catapulting Mineta onto the balcony before leaping up and landing next to him.
"For only one arm, you have an incredible throw," Mineta said as Devin chuckled a bit. The two boys said their good nights as Mineta stops before eyeing Devin, "Hey Devin?"
"Hmm?" Devin eyes Mineta, who gulped slightly, "Ask me anything, Minoru."
"O-oh, this may be silly in our age... but could I set up my sleeping bag in your room?" Mineta asks as Devin smiles, opening the door motioning for Mineta to enter. Mineta would gather his sleeping bag and enter the room immediately, noticing several night lights on.
"Yeah, I have a slight irrational fear of the dark due to that incident," Devin admits as Mineta eyes him, noticing Devin tearing up.
"Hey, it's OK, I bet your parents are glad you're with people who've accepted you for you," Mineta said positively as Devin smiled, nodding.
"I-I know... but I wish you could've met them every single day," Devin replied shakingly as Mineta hugged Devin, noticing the height difference, causing Devin and Mineta to become incredibly tense.
"We better get sleep," Mineta said quickly as the two boys climbed into their respected resting areas as Devin watched Mineta slowly fall asleep. Devin thinks with a message from Chelsea appearing on his phone.
Ghost - He seems to care for you...
Hope - I know... You're not mad about earlier and him being in my room?
Ghost - Hope, we've been together for years. I'm not mad nor will I ever be mad. We made that promise to each other.
Hope - I know... thanks Chelsea. For being in my life. Good night.
Ghost - Likewise, Good Night my Hope.
Devin would place his phone on his night stand before eyeing a sleeping Mineta as Devin climbs out of his bed, picks up both Mineta and his sleeping bag carefully, then places him onto his bed before crawling back into his bed pulling Mineta close to him.
"Good night, Minoru," Devin said smiling before passing out.
Ok, hopefully my account is working more properly now. I had to go through my laptop to fix several errors. But anyways, hopefully you enjoy reading this chapter. Next chapter will involve a little action dealing with Dëm so hopefully you all enjoy it. Peace out!
