He makes you laugh. Always has.

It’s easy with Denki — light, fun, uncomplicated. You’re close. Best friends, even. You tease him about his dramatic flirting, roll your eyes when he winks, and call him an idiot at least once a day.

He grins and takes it. Every time. Like it doesn’t matter. Like it’s not breaking him a little bit more each time you call him “bro.”

He knows you don’t mean it that way. Knows that if he ever really said it — if he actually told you how long he’s been in love with you — it would ruin everything.

So he doesn’t.

Instead, he sits beside you during movie nights, lets your head rest on his shoulder, pretends his heart isn’t going wild just because you’re close.

Tonight, you’re laughing at something stupid he said — full, bright, unguarded.

And for one second, he lets it slip — low and almost to himself:

“Man… I’m so screwed for you.”

You don’t even hear it.

But he still smiles. Still plays the fool. Still stays.
