Study Date

     Kaminari couldn't help but look around his house nervously the day. He somehow convinced his parents to go on a quick vacation to his grandparent's house- he had phoned his grandpa about it the day before.

      If Sakura came over when his parents were there, Kaminari could only imagine the embarrassing things that they would do. He could already see them showing off his baby pictures and reminiscing about stupid things that Kaminari did as a child.

     The thing was, he still did stupid things.

      He combed his hair in the mirror, brushed his teeth, and bathed twice. Kaminari had even put on a hair wrap and apron and made sure that the home was dutifully clean. He did hit his head a couple times while cleaning under tables and small spaces, but that was fine.

      When he heard his phone 'ping', his mind went wild and he scrambled toward it to see the words 'on my way.'

      Kaminari couldn't help but wish that he had time to prepare himself, mentally and physically. What if he wasn't dressed well enough? What if she disliked something about his room? What if he made a fool of himself in front of her? The possibilities were endless.

      He didn't know how long he was worrying until he heard a faint knock at the door. Heart practically wanting to combust, he opened the door and greeted Sakura.

      "H-hello, come on in."

     Maybe his voice went up a few octaves.

      She came in without missing a beat, lugging a heavy rucksack with her as she walked.

      "I-I can take that, " Kaminari offered nervously.

      "Oh, no, " she waved off with a light smile and patted her arm, "I'm strong enough."

     He nodded automatically and then made way to the first room he could think of, which coincidentally was his room.

      "Actually-" Kaminari started, wanting to move to a different place in case she got the wrong idea.

       "Huh, " Sakura commented suddenly, "It suits you well."

     After making unintelligent noises, Kaminari sat down at his table. He was making mistake after mistake but she complimented him! How could he possibly be this lucky? Even his grandpa, the man that taught him everything, was rather surprised.

      Sakura sat down beside him and pulled out textbooks and workbooks meant for his level. Usually, when she tutored the other students, she used the chalkboard, nothing more and nothing less.

      It wasn't a secret that Sakura was farther into her studies than everyone else, so it was hard to imagine that she would have the latest edition of the textbooks just lying around. She had bought them specifically for him.

     "Let's start here, " she suggested, pulling out her Japanese textbook, "We're going to memorize all those phrases and what-not first, including Kanji."

      Even though he didn't normally care about studying, just Sakura teaching him how to do it made it more interesting. As she explained what each phrase meant and the characters, her pen would twirl in her hand.

      Her eyes would watch like a hawk on every single mistake that he made and would gently correct it, or give him hints so he would find the answer on his own. Each time he found the right answer, her face would light up joyously and she would praise him.

      If he could see her smile again, why wouldn't he work hard and focus on his studies?

       After a while in a subject, she would move onto another, but not without a break inbetween. Though he was pumped and just wanted to keep going, she stubbornly refused to continue on if he wasn't going to rest his brain.

      God, he was pampered.

      They had started early in the morning at 8:00 but now it was 13:00. Kaminari didn't know how long she was going to stay, but he was glad that she was taking time out of her busy schedule to be with him. 

     "Are you hungry?" he asked quickly after noticing the time, "I have food in the refrigerator."

     "Mmn, anything is fine, " Sakura replied back.

      Kaminari sped off, too fast to know that she was trying to stifle chuckles from his behavior. It was absolutely adorable.

     He came back a couple minutes later with plates of curry rice, steaming hot from the microwave. "I ordered this yesterday cause I didn't want the food to be late if you were on a time crunch..."

     "I'm... off today."

     Well, to be exact, she had sent a shadow clone in her steed, which did the job right.

     For Kaminari, this would mean that she would stay with him longer. She wouldn't have to get up and leave any time soon.

      "Hey, Kaminari, how much do you know about me?"

     He paused while eating his food and looked at her in slight confusion. "What exactly do you mean?"

      "What facts do you know about me?"

      While chewing his food thoughtfully, he swallowed it down before answering, "I know that you're pretty, a model, strong, and my girlfriend. What else would I need to know?"

      From his answer, Sakura couldn't help but chew her bottom lip guiltily. "Say, if parts of my identity are fake, what would you do?"

      "Hmm? I don't know honestly."

      Looking at him dead in the eyes, she stated, "Kaminari, I'm not quirkless."

     "Okay... wait, what?" he did a double-take, looking right back at her, "But your papers legally state that you're quirkless."

      "Principal Nezu pulled a couple strings, " she told him bitterly, "My quirk is dangerous in the wrong hands, so it's best to say that I have none at all. It's the reason why I told you in the first place, because I know I can trust you."

      His eyes turned serious, "Sakura, I won't treat you any differently because you kept it a secret. If it's for the better, than I don't mind it."

      "... I can see bits and pieces of the future, " she murmured, "and also information on other people when those bits of the future reveal themselves to me. It obviously wouldn't be a good thing in a villain's hands."

     "I promise to keep this a secret, Sakura. No matter what."

     Slowly, she added on, "There's also another thing..."

      Her hand hovered over his head, a green light glowing from it. Suddenly, the throbbing pain from his head was gone.

       "What-"

      Her hand then snapped back like she had touched fire, her eyes looking at him, surprised. "How...?"

      She then shook her head and once more smiled, "Kaminari, there's a lot that I have to talk to you about, okay? I'll take it slow and by the end of my talk, you can decide for yourself."

     Sakura was going to keep that last thought to herself. It would be for the best that he didn't know, especially since it would be too long to train him. Her own powers were more than likely going to reveal soon anyways.

     How did Kaminari have natural chakra coils?
