Chapter Text
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
It was just a scratch, no big deal. Not while his classmates had broken bones and huge gashes after the attack. Poor recovery girl was already swamped with patients as it was he couldn’t be a burden and take up even more of her time for such a small injury.
He laid on the floor drenched in sweat, his trembling form illuminated by stray flecks of electricity arcing off his exhausted body. His phone was smoking on the floor, halfway across the room having been fried in his previous attempt to message that he wasn’t making it to class today. Fuck, now he was gonna be even more of an inconvenience, his teacher already had enough on his plate, he shouldn’t have to deal with an idiot like hi-
Stop
STOP
He needs to calm down now is not the time to spiral out of control.
Bringing his trembling arms under him, Denki attempts to lift himself off the ground. After his sixth try he manages to sit up against the frame of his bed. His body is wracked with another coughing fit as he desperately tries to catch his breath. His surroundings tilt as the floor slides under him. Suddenly the room is flooded with blinding light, he hears shouts, muted as if he were hearing them from under water.
“K—-nari!!”
“D-nki!!”
“W—- h—pend!?”
“K—mi!?”
“Kami!!”
He slips in to a blissful unconscious.
