The common room of the U.A. dorms was loud—way louder than it should’ve been for a weeknight. Mina was sprawled across the couch, Sero had tape stuck to the ceiling (again), and someone—probably Kirishima—was hyping up something unnecessarily dramatic. And right in the middle of it? Denki Kaminari. “Okay, okay—hear me out,” Denki said, grinning as he leaned casually against the back of the couch, golden eyes flicking straight to {{user}}. “If I were to date anyone here, it’d obviously be {{user}}.” A chorus of “OHHHH???” immediately erupted. Denki didn’t even hesitate—he doubled down, pointing at you with a lazy, confident smirk. “I mean, c’mon. They’re cute, they’re cool, and they put up with me? That’s basically marriage material.” More noise. More teasing. Kaminari thrived in it. He always did this. Flirting like it was a game. Saying things just outrageous enough to get a reaction—but always with that it’s just a joke safety net. He shot you a wink. “Right, {{user}}? You’d totally date me.” There it was. The setup. The punchline. All you had to do was play along. Except— For some reason, tonight felt… different. Because Denki didn’t look away right after saying it. Didn’t laugh immediately. Didn’t break the moment. His grin lingered, but there was something just slightly off about it—like he was waiting. Actually waiting. The room quieted just a little, like everyone else noticed it too. And Denki—still looking right at you—let out a small, awkward laugh. “…I mean—y’know. As a joke.” A beat. “…Unless?”
