SO this is my first attempt at fanfic, with one of my favorite anime pairings, if you like it, lemme know. if you dont, lemme know that too.

…...

"Im going to go shopping with Himegami! Ill see you later!" Index said as she walked towards the door of Touma Kamijo's small apartment.

"Ok have fun, but don't be out too late. I think its going to rain later on." Touma responded. Index walked out the door and as she left Touma could barely make out some movement under her nun's habit and a few quiet meows. He was left in the apartment alone. Touma turned on the TV and settled down for some peace and quiet.

…...

Mikoto Misaka ran through the rain drenched streets trying to find cover. She managed to get under a bus stop but the gale force winds drove the rain sideways to hit her despite being under cover. She looked around and realized that she was close to HIS apartment. Despite the cold of the rain and storm she blushed as an idea formed in her mind. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed HIS number just as a massive bolt of lightning struck a nearby building.

…...

Touma was awakened from his nap by a loud clap of thunder. He fell off the couch and hit his head on the coffee table. "Rotten luck!" He noticed the pouring rain outside. It was then that he realized his phone was ringing. He picked it up and saw the caller ID: BugZapper I wonder what she wants he thought to himself as he answered.

"Hello?" he says.

"Hey." she answers.

"Hey... whats up?"

"Are you at home right now?" Touma was taken aback by her abruptness.

"Yeah. Why you ask?"

"Mind if I come over for a while? Im stuck in the rain"

Touma hesitated for a moment looking around his messy place, then replied, "Yeah sure you can come over." and started cleaning up the apartment while he was still on the phone.

…...

Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. "OK I should be there in a few minutes. I'm not far."

"Alright see ya in a bit". Mikoto hung up the phone and started running towards the building where Touma lived.

…...

Touma had made some progress on his room in the approximately 6 minutes since he got off the phone with Mikoto. Index liked to leave food wrappers on the coffee table. He heard a knock on the door and walked over to open it. He opened the door and was greeted with the sight of a soaking wet Mikoto Misaka. She was shivering badly. "Come on in" she was soaked to the skin.

"thanks. I'm freezing."

"No problem. Here, I've got some dry clothes for you." Touma offered.

"Why do you happen to have clothes that fit me?" she asked warily, "were you expecting to have me over at some point?"

"Actually I don't have anything that will fit you. These are some of my clothes. They might be a bit big but they are dry."

'He wants me...to put on...HIS CLOTHES?' Mikoto thought to herself blushing furiously. "Well...thanks...I'll...go change now" and she scurried off to the bathroom.

Touma watched the scene unfold and thought about his bad luck. Helping her would probably end up being more trouble than it was worth but he couldn't turn her down. She was his friend even if she tried to electrocute him every few days. He heard the shower turn on. Makes sense that she would want to have a hot shower to warm up. He then remembered that his hot water heater had broken a few days ago so it would be a cold shower. He was about to yell to her to not go in the shower when she let off a high pitched scream from the cold. "ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Sorry!" Touma yelled, "I forgot to tell you that the hot water heater was busted. You know how my rotten luck is." he sat down for a few minutes waiting for her to get out.

…...

Getting out the shower and shivering even worse now, Mikoto tried to dry off her hair and body. She was still absolutely freezing. Friggin idiot. Im gonna zap the crap out of him when I get out of here! Though, he is being really nice to me. Actually, he is always pretty nice to me. I wonder if he likes me as much as I like...wait! No! I dont like him! Of course not! He is an idiot! And he is always rushing off to save someone and getting hurt! He doesn't care about his own well being! What an idiot!He sticks his nose in everyone's business where he doesn't belong! Though he did save all my sisters...and me...a few times...dammit! Why is he so confusing?!'her heart was racing. That combined with the cold made it hard to breathe. She put on some shorts he had given her, and then pulled the t-shirt over her head and was suddenly wrapped up in an incredible smell. It smelled like the last time he had given her a hug, but much stronger, overpowering. She felt secure, protected. She loved the smell. Wait...she loved it? What was wrong with her? Well when I think about it...I guess there's nothing wrong with enjoying a good smell. Even if it is his. she kept the shirt over her head enthralled by the smell. She couldn't see the puddle of water on the floor. She slipped on the wet tile and fell to the floor, missing hitting her head on the toilet by mere centimeters. Argh, that hurt

"Hey are you alright in there? Sounded like something just hit the floor." Touma asked through the door.

"IM FINE LEAVE ME ALONE SO I CAN CHANGE" she screamed back.

"OK, ok fine. Take your time."

…...

A few minutes later she emerged from the bathroom clad in his shirt and pants. She was still shivering.

"still cold?" he queried.

"No...I'm fine."

Not believing her, "Uh huh. Yeah you're still cold. Come here" and he held up a blanket for her.

She walked over to the couch and sat down taking the blanket from him and wrapping it around herself. She was hit again with and overpowering blast of his smell. That combined with the warmth felt like he was hugging her. She closed her eyes for a minute. Imagining. That he was hugging her like that. She was lost in her daydream and didn't hear Touma trying to talk to her.

"Mikoto. Mikoto? BugZapper?"

"Huh? What? What were you saying?"

Touma had a worried look on his face. "I was saying that you should put your clothes in the dryer. That way you can go home later. You feeling sick or something?"

"N-n-n-oooooo I'm fine seriously." wow he is really being nice to me...i wonder if he cares about me as something more than a friend... wait no! No way! I don't like him! Not at all!

"Yeah. Ok stay here ill go get your clothes."

"What? Wait no!" Mikoto ran towards the bathroom cutting Touma off, "Ill get it!" she exclaimed as she clutched her wet garments to her chest. She put them into the dryer and sat back down on the couch with Touma. She was still cold. The AC unit in the apartment was set pretty cold. An idea started brewing in Mikoto's mind. A crazy idea brought on by freezing cold and confusing feelings. "Hey Touma..."

"Yeah?"

"I'm still cold"

"I'll turn the heater on" and he rose to his feet.

"Wait! How about you...come warm me up yourself? It IS your fault that you didn't get the hot water heater fixed or tell me that it was busted in the first place."

"Hey! How was I supposed to know that you were going to take a shower? Next you will say that the fact that you fell in the bathroom was my fault too"

"Yep exactly. Good job genius" Mikoto snapped back.

"How exactly do you expect me to warm you up?"

Mikoto swallowed nervously, "With...your...body heat..." her face blushed furiously.

"Huh? What the hell does that mean?" Touma was getting very confused now.

"Come cuddle with me and warm me up you jerk," Mikoto ordered.

"WHAT? Really? Are you serious?" Touma couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, now hurry up I'm dying here!"

…...

Touma mulled it over in his head for what seemed like an eternity. He still couldn't believe his ears. Mikoto Misika, the human bug zapper (who seemed to think he was a bug to be zapped), was demanding that he cuddle with her to warm her up. If he was honest with himself, he thought it was a dream come true. Ever since meeting the strange and violent girl he had developed a certain affection for her. He wondered if she felt the same way.

"WHAT? Really? Are you serious?" he said in absolute disbelief.

"Yes, now hurry up I'm dying here!"

"Um...ok...fine" he sat down slowly next to her on the couch and moved to gently put his arms around her.

"If you try anything...weird, I'll zap you full of so much lightning they will be able to power the whole city for a month off of you." she warned.

Touma hesitated for a moment, then closed his arms around her gently, pulling her close to his chest. He felt her body shivering violently as he held her against his chest. She put her arms around his back hugging him tightly, and he responded in kind. She rested her head on his well muscled chest. She made a noise that he couldn't understand.

"What was that?" he asked her softly.

"I called you an idiot!"

"What for? What could I possibly have done this time?"

Mikoto looked up at him and said softly, "You made me fall for you"

"Uh...say that again..." Touma couldn't believe what he had heard.

…...

Touma was in shock. Again. He felt something soft, very soft and warm on his lips, and saw Mikoto right next to his face. She was kissing him. She was actually kissing him. Her arms were wrapped around his neck. Then as quickly as it happened she pulled away, red as a fire truck.

"...I'm sorry...I'll...just go home now," Mikoto whimpered. Touma pulled her back close to him and kissed her again. A full, passionate kiss, and he felt her melt in his arms as he held her tighter.

"I can't let you leave now. Its still storming and your clothes are still drying." Touma said with a smile.

"Idiot. I've cared about you for so long. I've seen you save me, my friends, and everyone else time and time again. Your kindness and compassion for others, your incredible hotheadedness, and your will to keep fighting no matter what. Its breathtaking. I...I love you."

Touma listened to her. Then after a few seconds, "Mikoto, I love you too. You are an incredibly strong person to have gone through what you have. And despite your violent and frequent temper tantrums, and the fact that I'm usually on the receiving end of it, you are still a kind person. And someone that I do enjoy spending time with. If nothing else I'm never bored around you. And you're so smart and talented. After spending as much time with you as I have, how could I not fall for you?"

Mikoto blushed furiously for the hundredth time. She then tackled Touma in a hug, with both of them falling back onto his bed. She laid on top of him hugging him tightly. Then realizing the position they were in she sat up quickly.

"Um...that was..." Mikoto started.

"That was kinda nice. Maybe we should try it again, just not on top of me..." Touma finished.

Mikoto laid next to him on the bed and buried her head in his chest as he wrapped his arms around her gently. He kissed her forehead. "This is really nice," she said softly.

"Yeah, this is. Im glad you're here. Even though I live with Index, I still feel pretty lonely sometimes. Tonight was one of those nights. I want you to stay here as long as you want" Touma said.

"I wanna stay with you for a long time. I'm really tired. And I like being here in your arms" Mikoto said.

"Me too. You can take a nap if you want. I really don't mind. Ill hold you here. Keep you warm."

…...

Several hours had passed. It was dark, and still raining outside. Touma woke up to his dark apartment. And a warm bundle in his arms. Then he remembered that it was Mikoto. He held her gently in his arms. She started to stir from her slumber.

"Hey" he said.

"Hey..." Mikoto replied sleepily.

"Had a good nap?" he asked.

"The best nap I've ever had..." and she moved up to kiss him, and he returned her kiss happily.

"WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU DOING! WHY IS SHE HERE? YOU ARE KISSING HER?! IS THAT YOUR SHIRT ON HER?"

Touma whirled around looking in the direction of the scream to see Index standing in the doorway.

"Um...well...she was getting rained on...and so she came in to dry off, and uh...I gave her my shirt...and she was cold so..." Touma tried to explain.

"Besides, whats it to you?" Mikoto jabbed.

"I never thought you would so something so...inappropriate! And you girly I don't like you at all now! " Index wailed.

"Its not like he is your BOYFRIEND. Ya know. Cause he is mine now," Mikoto smiled devilishly, "so whats the problem?"

"AHHHHH!"

…...

Shortly after Index's scream, Touma found himself with lots of new bite marks and in considerable pain. Mikoto went crazy on Index, and the only thing keeping the entire apartment from being shocked into oblivion was Touma's Imagine Breaker. After a few minutes of trying to keep the two girls from killing each other they finally calmed down and Index went to cuddle with Sphinx on the floor. Mikoto and Touma laid back down in Touma's bed and slept till morning. The next morning was bright and sunny, and was a cliché but accurate metaphor for the way they felt about their future together.
