“But—”
“No. It’s not negotiable, Toshi. You know the rules.”
“Fine, god.” Hitoshi grumbled to himself, leaning back in his desk chair and silently willing his dad to leave the room…He knows his dad’s are not at fault here. They are all on lockdown for a reason. Nobody wants to get sick and spread the virus faster but…
Screw him for wanting to see his boyfriend…Not everyone is lucky like his dads and gets to lockdown with their freaking husband. Hitoshi is going crazy, especially because Denk is literally, no more than 1000 feet away in the dorm with literally all of his friends. Another thing that not being officially transferred into the hero course has done to him. Fomo has always been bad enough but–Getting to quarantine with all your friends, and your boyfriend instead of your dads…he feels like he is missing out on so much.
“You can always facetune him, kiddo.”
“Facetime. Dad—Not, You know what, Nevermind.” Hitoshi turns back to his computer, hearing his door finally shut behind him.
Facetime is fine! He has been facetime Denki for the last few weeks but—he can’t very well touch him through the screen! Not even in a dirty way (okay maybe he misses that aspect of being able to see his boyfriend too) but just like—cuddling and holding hands. It’s not the same.
They don’t have plans to facetime tonight, but—Hitoshi was hoping his dad’s would say yes since nobody in the dorms has tested positive for over a week and none of them have but since that plan got instantly shot down—
“Hey! Shin-c-chan! What's going on?” Denki’s flushed face immediately fills the screen, Hitoshi tries to see what room his boyfriend is in, but the phone is layed down on a table, Denki leaning over it and looking down. He can only see white and an air vent.
“Nothing, just bored and wanting to see you.” Hitoshi shrugs, “What are you doing? Were you working out?” Even with the shitty internet at U.A because literally everyone is using it all the time, at the same time right now, Hitoshi can see the sweat dripping from Denki’s face.
“N-no! I wasn’t—You know the gym is off limits because like s-sweat can—” Denki’s face leaves the view of the camera for a moment, Hitoshi can hear ruffling for a second but then nothing for a moment.
“Denks…Are you okay?”
“F-Fine! I mean, I’m fine—Hito-chan, Can I call you bac—” Hitoshi can hear the blonde isn’t fine but the way his words are squeaky and slightly strained.
“You didn’t short circuit yourself, right? You guys aren’t even supposed to be using your quirks during lockdown…” Hitoshi knows most of his friends have broken that rule, but—not to the extent of quirk exhaustion.
“No! I haven’t—Besides charging my phone and stuff.” Denki still isn’t back of screen, and Hitoshi can still hear a slight shuffling of fabric. Without anything else to focus on, Hitoshi looks at the ceiling…He recognizes it but he can’t pinpoint it exactly…It’s—
“Are you in the dorm's laundry room? It” an unfortunate drink spillage. Hitoshi has been in there one single time, but the vent above the camera is dusty, from the dryers, green dust specifically colored like their uniform pants.
“Y-yeah—haha—” Denki comes back on camera for a moment, eyes looking anywhere but into the camera, or at the phone in general.
“Is that what i’m hearing? Your doing laundry? Why are you sweating so much if your just folding laundry—oh god! Denki your not—You didn’t catch it did you?” Hitoshi’s mind jumps to the immediate thought—a fever. Maybe his boyfriend is washing his clothes and things at such a late hour because he has been sweating like a pig because he caught Covid and can’t be around anyone else…
“What!? No! Toshi! Oh my god! I’m okay!” Denki props the camera up on something, maybe a bottle of detergent and Hitoshi can see him now, “I’m fine! See! If I was sick, I would immediately call you or—Y-your dads would k-know—oh god.”
“Denki! If you're not sick what's wrong?!” Now that he can actually see his boyfriend, he can clearly see something isn’t right.
“Shin-chan—I—Oh god—please don’t hate me for this…” Hitoshi stills…What could Denki have possibly done that he thinks he would hate him for—oh my god.
Hitoshi doesn’t notice it at first, too worried about what Denki could have done—not what Denki is currently doing. Hitoshi's eyes widen as he sees the crotch of his boyfriends gray sweatpants darken with pee…Denki is—Peeing his pants?
