hey so !! i know i haven’t been here in a hot minute , just due to general disinterest in the rpc / typical “i am on fucking fire” -esque stress , but these past two days have also really opened my eyes to the type of people i’ve been following n like ... it’s not good lol . so i’m gonna be moving denki to a much quieter blog cuz i’m like HELLA slow + unproductive + choosy with my replies and feel bad about not getting to things in a timely manner , but also to like , just be more private and only really follow some good friends ! i’m also up for doing discord rp stuff ( where i’m more active ) just cuz it’s way easier than having to physically be on a computer .

it comes with the territory, bakugou thinks. being on inside of his head; having to deal with him inside out and outside in would make anyone predisposed to hatred for him, for the onslaught of baggage that comes with it even before the side effects. that’s what it is, isn’t it? denki’d said it before, eyes still glazed from being knocked unconscious by the reason for bakugou’s innate hate - ablity: you’re a very difficult person.
❛ old fucking hat, kaminari. ❜ there are plenty of reasons to hate him, headaches and brain hemorrhages aside. it isn’t fair for bakugou to assume that’s what he means; what’s more, to assuming he ever knows anything when it comes to denki. he’s been too caught up in his own bullshit and insecurity to know much other than the fact that he seems to be genuine about the first half of that sentiment just as much as the latter one (maybe even more so).
brow raised, an expression too cool for someone with a lack of composure in nearly all other settings they’ve been thrown together, he is a different version of himself at the end of the day than during it. all the edges of him beaten down until blunted. still sharp enough to cut if he applies some pressure.
❛ what for this time? ❜
funny thing about these cute , feisty little scares of the end of the world : you don’t always get to choose who you spend it with . denki’s currently learning that the hard way .
and sleeping off the physical tolls of a false brain hemorrhage in response to emotional distress isn’t anything he’d recommend to any of his fellow pilots , either . things get a lot more real when you actually play the part you signed up for , a year or so past what a younger , stupider you consented to , bereft of anything else to spend the apocalypse doing than willingly bear the weight of someone else’s baggage .
and wonder if , when you finally blink back to consciousness days later , you’re gonna have to do it again .
so now he stands here , hands in pockets , dingy olive jumpsuit pulled down where it’s knotted loosely around his waist . boots planted along the edge of the steel platform that faces the gargantuan elephant in the room : his jaeger , stationery in disuse .
well . their jaeger , now .
❛ how ‘bout your shit attitude , for one ? ❜ tired sigh cushions the blow as he maneuvers himself into a seat beside his partner , legs swinging over the ledge and crossing at the ankles . he leans back along the heels of his palms . ❛ could use one or a hundred major adjustments . i mean , i get that you’ve made it glaringly obvious just how wholly you encompass both the emotional and verbal capabilities of a freshly - thawed neanderthal , but if we’re seriously expected to forge some sort of government - assigned bond here , then you’re gonna have to give me a little more to work with . ❜
lolling his head along one shoulder , denki drops a quick once - over down bakugou’s profile , careful not to let anything linger for too long . ❛ soooo ... step one in macguyvering an entire relationship out of witty banter and caveman scowls . tell me something about yourself , bakugou . something that i can’t just read off some ledger . ❜

to see the edge of an auburn flannel peeking out the bottom of the crate is to know.
impulse wants to haul - ass to denki’s door. by - pass stairs entirely and launch himself onto his balcony and ask him why he's being squirrely about the whole thing. always quick to demand answers for someone that keeps his own heart tucked safely in the breast pocket. rationale slows him; it is obvious. he is meant to have the private moment to figure that out for himself. to make of it whatever he wants. drags eyes back over the bestowed treasure trove - crate - filled with an array of presents. puzzle pieces.
presumably the full picture is supposed to say i remembered, happy birthday. maybe it is — that would be enough. katsuki can’t shake that it feels surface level. denki is so prone to romance that it seems hardly a hunch and more a probability. could just be his own bad habit of taking things apart to see how they fit back together. he’s over - thinking, jumping in front of the gun before he’s checked for bullets.
dissembling, he removes items one at a time and places them in order on the bed from right to left. then goes down the line.
surface level to sea bottom:
spicy chips, an easy favourite. something denki couldn’t stomach the taste of.
a moleskin journal, half full up. katsuki thumbs through the pages greedily, eager to see what’s tucked into the pages; colour and words and flowers, scattered like a pattern of thoughts.
a familiar tape - player, knowingly unnecessary and thus purposeful, cassette already loaded. this is the piece that takes the longest to get through - patience lent by motivation to hear what denki means to tell him. he listens, the way denki intends for him to, eyes closed in the middle of his room while the sun bleeds out through a crack in the curtains. seventeen tracks later, he rewinds the tape and sets it back in its place.
half a train ticket doesn’t tie to a sense the way the other items do, ruining his running hypothesis. he flips it over, confused: almost didn’t and is relieved at the impulse when he sees what he would have missed in scrawled words on the back. a memory jotted down from their first date. i wanted to remember, he can almost hear denki say it. i did remember.
it still doesn’t feel like the point of the whole.
he reaches for the piece that had initially caught his attention and holds it, folded in his hands like an open book. there is no mistaking the flannel for anything other than denki’s go - to. the favouritism is evident in the fade of color and looseness of buttons in equal measure to its infinite - wash softness. katsuki doesn’t know what else to do with it but put it on. he wonders after the intention of it; whether it is meant to be borrowed the same way the tape - player is, something for katsuki to wear to know more about denki, or whether it is switching ownership permanently. either way, he’ll be hard - pressed to let it out of his possession any time soon. he shrugs it on, suddenly aware of the weight in the breast pocket.
a hand runs over the open front, smoothing out invisible wrinkles and landing right over the solid bump. he doesn’t have to fish it out to guess what it is; doesn’t have to hold it up to the light to know, but he does. impossibly red, a dead match for equally improbable eyes.
there he is, tucked into the heart adjacent pocket of denki’s favourite flannel. laid out in pieces on the edge of his bed. some kind of metaphor. it is not what he thinks, though — gently placing the glass back in the flannel’s empty space on the bed. what he thinks is this: denki knows him. in colour and sound, by trigger words and in memory. in touch and taste and favouritism. denki knows him enough to pick the pieces of him out and hand them back. denki knows him better than he knows himself, even and loves him just the same. it might not be the full picture intended but it is the one he sees. it is the one he chooses to believe.
katsuki uses the stairs, knocks twice and waits.
perfectly content to seal away all communication from the world outside this dormitory for the rest of his teenage life , denki steels at the sure sound of presence at his door step .
finding a way to occupy yourself in times of awaiting some kind of answer is just about the hardest first - world thing there is to do . what’s worse is that he isn’t even all that sure there even was a question to be answered at all , or if he’d simply just thrown his garbage on katsuki’s bed and said do with this what you will , bye . hard to recall ; he most definitely blacked out during that whole shebang .
either way , denki can’t say he was all that successful in running out the anxiety , himself .
his room is left in towers behind him : all his mugs and books and figurines and candies , all his shoes and pillows and jars of homemade scar cream , all his cd’s and books he’s yet to read , all his games , all the half - eaten everythings and half - starving plants he’ll probably get better at taking care of some day .
it’s a lot like that scene in poltergeist --- he knows the one . and he’s bummed that it works , that he succeeds in scaring the shit out of himself when he finally looks back at the world’s most organized freakout . if he knocks into one or more of the stacks on his way to the door to send the foundations flying back to their individual parts , well , it’s not really an accident .
so that paranormal spell quells itself to something of uneven breath , pushed through pursed lips with one hand on the knob . when he opens his eyes again --- were they shut ? no , just the one , squeezed tight , wincing --- there’s a person there to occupy them .
❛ shit , ❜ he says when he actually means hi , smile spreading crookedly in place nonetheless . no one is capable of greeting their lover without one , afterall .
eyes then drop to something familiar , something he’d worn just one last time before proudly ( ? ) ( worriedly ) ( desperately ?? ) proffering ownership this very morning . ❛ oh . shit , hi . ❜
brows pop as if impressed , smile stirring just a bit sweeter . it’s a good sign . and an even better look .
a tiny sprout of hope pops up through the tension physically rolling off the surface , unfortunately backed by nothing particularly charming or witty to really seal the deal here . ❛ soooooo ... happy birthday ? ❜

❛ WAIT —– ARE YOU SURE ? ❜ it wasn’t often he received gifts —- the small gesture radiated within shouto in MASSIVE volumes, enough for a dimple to crater his cheek and his eyes to ignite in silent GLEE. the charm itself was nothing too special, but shouto was already reaching out to take it. denki’s kindness would not go unnoticed —– he’d find some way to thank him at a later time.
❛ I love cats. ❜ it was his first time admitting such aloud ( though it’d likely be obvious to the observant eye —- he was oft seen feeding the strays and had a cat patch on his school bag, after all ). ❛ have you met my cat? ❜
SCORE ------------- with all intents and purposes of patting himself on the ass , he knew that little number would be a winner . maybe it’s not important to bring up the fact that he had no idea about the patch or strays , though , and merely speculated shouto to be the kinda guy who would hang out in the corner with the host’s pet cat at any given house party .
❛ wait , a cat ? your cat ? you have a cat ?! ❜ this is entirely brand new information ! denki’s palms slap into his cheeks , mouth blown open into an astonished o . ❛ canimeethercanimeethercanimeether ?! ❜

he supposed he shouldn’t be surprised when it came to others in awe of him. not anymore. yet, even after years as a hero, it didn’t stop king from getting a bit self-conscious at the look in their eyes … whether it was kids or adults. it was the popularity, the deeds, the looks. and it was obvious when someone was stuck on them, the scars, as they were one of his most discerning features to the public. that and his height. usually attributed to some mutation, but as far as he was always aware … it was entirely natural.
king relaxed back, focused on the teen. any resident of saitama would be privy to the central agency that was the association of heroes, a collective of heroes that were held to working together … though, some, definitely had issue with this part of the clause of the agency. they could have their own separate divisions. king had his own, not much well off in the intern section. this only because king had strict rules about taking them. his was more … focused on uplifting the other heroes, those who had trouble with their quirks or with the people. even in general territory.
a difficult case though ? he’d had quite a few. he’d read through the file sent to him by seiteki, on the student before him. king had had enough cases of heroes who couldn’t fully handle their quirks to recognize that denki was similar. it was the way it had been worded, a faint hesitation in the words written to him. the report was a cautious one all in all, an ask for help. many pros did just the same. respect, yes, and they wanted to grow. that’s what he offered at his little, quiet, out of the way agency. helping kids ? that wouldn’t be entirely new either. he’d raised a few sidekicks … no … heroes up too.
he managed a faint smile at denki, tapped at his folder. ‘ yes, i assumed as much after reading the file sent to me by seiteki, ‘ he could remember being that young, going on and on, especially with how he was as a boy. everyone had that stage. and he supposed it was even worse when one came into contact with people they looked up to … not a bad thing, that, really. ‘ i’ve been helping other heroes with their quirks for quite a few years now, ‘ it came with the territory of helping others, lifting them up. maybe he paid a price for it, maybe, he didn’t know the answer to that. ‘ i know when someone’s not letting on the full truth, kid. ‘
unhinged. that had been a colorful way to describe it. not all quirks were made to be handled, at least not with work. ‘ a little known fact about me, my quirk wasn’t made for my body, ‘ he had to build up into it, changed and grew. yet, even now, king still had to be monitored … his heart was troublesome, he’d been warned that maybe it could give out one day. his head tipped, ‘ i had to grow into it, adapt to it, learn to control it. ‘ it hadn’t been easy.
grow into it . adapt to it . learn to ...
❛ ------------ is it really that simple , though ? ❜ he wonders , in some beautiful demonstration of what king should expect from his new intern over the next few weeks : this incorrigible habit of speaking without thought .
and what he means strays far from the condescension incidentally layered into it --- not to diminish king’s accomplishments , or at all imply that the journey won’t be painstaking . what he means is that there must be steps missing , or leaps , or even entire spiral staircases . nothing about what’s brewing inside him feels like it’ll heed to some 1 - 2 - 3 stretch goal .
clench , unclench , clench . a bite of nails into palms . he looks to down to his hands , brows knit . tries to scrape together some context .
❛ i just feel like ... where everyone else is progressing and growing alongside their quirks , i’m ... growing behind mine . like i can definitely feel myself getting stronger , but i’m also way less in tune with myself than i was at the beginning . like there are parts of me that’re slipping away somehow . ❜
figuratively , literally ; a quirk that has developed some semblance of thought , or perhaps had been sentient all along , and merely malnourished from what little consideration denki had ever put into it past total shame . famished for growth . now , a glutton .
and , as if the devil spoke , a spritely strip of static dances along his fingertips completely unprompted . he’s quick to shove all ten into his pockets and wince up to his mentor in some violent hope that it went unnoticed . ❛ is that a feeling that resonates with you ? ❜

the sun beneath his skin shines bright if you look too closely. the silver stripes of his scars let it leak out — and as such there’s liquid gold beneath the tan of his skin. the sincerity in his smile doesn’t ebb when kaminari is taken so off guard by effusive praise. rather he just blushes too and doesn’t back down, a hand going to the back of his neck as he smiles at the other boy. “you should get used to the praise now,” he teases softly, rubbing at one of his cheeks like it make pink bleed back into the olive of his skin. “ when you’re a pro there’s gonna be FANS right? especially since you’re gonna be marketable. ”
there’s another life, somewhere, where izuku had ended up in the business course, working with heroes but not being one. single minded as his devotion to becoming a HERO himself was, it didn’t mean that there hadn’t been times he’d considered he might end up doing something else.
“ besides, how can anyone not look at someone else’s quirk in this class and not go ‘whoaa!’ “ he mimes amazement, his hands going to his cheeks.
marketable . huh . fingers trace the bolt in his hair , just for a moment .
with two semesters spent playing catch up with his classmates --- both between academics and where years of not familiarizing himself with his own quirk had come to bite him hard in the ass --- denki had not given nearly enough thought to what his career as a pro may one day be like . maybe because there’s still some weird , tiny part of him that wonders if he’ll even make it that far . maybe because the idea that he could very well die before he manages to flunk out of ua himself isn’t all that obtuse .
❛ that’s pretty astute . ❜ plucking himself off the ground , he strips the dust from one shoulder , no longer caught in some flustered state of befuddlement . he sees izuku plainly now , all pink cheeks and marred skin and a smile that could set him on fire . ❛ what do you think you’ll be like one day ? when this is all over and we’re out there for real real , and people are looking to you for answers all the time . what are you tryin’ to inspire ... ? ❜

“ animal … crossing .. ? “ echoing him with a mild confusion, he continued to stare at the screen in awe. the pastel colors and cute character throwing him off. he honestly didnt expect to see kaminari playing something so … adorable ? but after hearing his explanation, he was starting to understand. it sounded relaxing.
“ boring can be a good thing ! “ casting a glance over to kaminari, he smiled at him. the talk of being someone people rely on chiming in his heart. he wasnt really one for video games but kaminari was really selling this one to him. “ it sounds fun actually … “
“ how do you get the cherries ? … do you have to make the animals cross over something ? “
now that earns him a laugh .
❛ no , dude ! you get non - native fruits from other players ! have you seriously never played this game before ? ❜ slit gaze manages to peel from the screen for the first time in literal hours , widening to fixate on something much more amusing . a single brow quirks in the accompanying disbelief . ❛ man , that’s messed up . a nice kid like you ? left in the dark about the this , the game of games ? animal crossing’s got your name written all over it , midoriya ! y’gotta try it at least once ! ❜
tasking himself with an entirely new chore to take place of the more demanding , more time - sensitive one currently hounding his weekend’s freedom , denki pats the seat beside him in invitation to witness his promised glory . ❛ c’mere --- pop a squat , buddy boy . we’re gonna learn ya a thing or two about gratuitous serotonin today . ❜

sluuuuuuuuuuurp . if yuuji hasn’t already seen the large cherry slushie in denki’s hand , he’s sure to have heard it by now , obnoxious sound preceding him as he pushes his way out of the convenient store . in the opposite hand is a plastic bag , adorned yellow smiley twisting slowly to face the boy it’s offered to . denki’s tongue is red when it finally pulls off the straw . ❛ they didn’t have the shrimp kind , so i gotcha beef instead . and a kinder egg . but i call half ! ❜

“Do you want me to pop your shoulder back into place or something?” He’s not even looking at Kaminari, typing away at his phone and occasionally looking up at the cleaning of the crime scene. Must have been hard. Good thing he didn’t have to deal with it. “Or do you not want Ihop? We can get Mcdonalds or fucking Burgerking.” He still hasn’t stopped typing away at his screen.
he physically cannot believe this shit . sero taps away at his phone in midst of the ruin , nonchalant as ever . something explodes far off behind them . a nearby truck is sent flying .
❛ NO ! I WANNA GO TO THE HOSPITAL , DUMBASS ! why’dja even come if you’re gonna be useless ?! and who the fuck could you possibly be texting ?! ❜
