"Complications and Consequences"
Part 132
The music had started up again, and the party was in full swing, but my mind was still reeling from the sudden kiss with Bakugo. I was trying to process my feelings, but before I could even think about it, Sera's attention turned to Kamanari, who was standing nearby, nursing a drink. "Hey, Denki, it's your turn," Sera said, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Truth or dare?" Kamanari looked up, his eyes slightly unfocused from the drink in his hand. "Dare," he said, a goofy grin spreading across his face. Sera's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Okay, here's your dare: flirt with Vesper," she said, her gaze flicking to me, a sly smile on her face. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Sera's plan. Kamanari, on the other hand, looked like he was up for the challenge. He set his drink down and sauntered over to me, a charming smile on his face. "Hey, Vesper," he said, his voice low and smooth. "You look stunning tonight. I mean, you always look amazing, but... tonight, you're really rocking that outfit." I felt a blush rise to my cheeks as Kamanari's eyes roamed over me, his gaze lingering on my face. I wasn't sure how to react, but before I could even think about it, Kamanari took a step closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I have to say, I've always had a bit of a crush on you," he said, his eyes locked on mine, a flirtatious glint in their depths. I was taken aback by Kamanari's sudden confession, and I didn't know how to respond. Bakugo, who had been watching the exchange with interest, stepped forward, a possessive look on his face. "Denki, back off," he said, his voice low and warning. Kamanari held up his hands, a sheepish grin on his face. "Hey, I'm just following the rules," he said, his eyes flicking to Sera, who was laughing and clapping her hands. "Looks like things are getting interesting," she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement. I rolled my eyes, trying to play it cool, but I couldn't help but feel a little flutter in my chest. What was going on, and how was I going to navigate this complicated web of relationships?
