Private Chat between Aizawa Shouta and Yaoyorozu Momo.

Yaoyorozu Momo: Mr. Aizawa, do you have a moment? There’s a matter I would like to discuss, and I would prefer to do it over the phone if that’s okay.

Aizawa Shouta: Of course kid. What do you wanna talk about?

Yaoyorozu Momo: Well, it’s about Mineta.

Yaoyorozu Momo: Whenever I’m around him, he keeps making inappropriate comments about my breasts. Especially when I’m in my hero costume.

Yaoyorozu Momo: He keeps talking about their size, how he wants to touch them, and one time he… attempted to touch them.

Yaoyorozu Momo: He also frequently attempts to sneak into the girls’ locker room to watch us changing.

Yaoyorozu Momo: It makes me extremely uncomfortable and is a bit discouraging.

Aizawa Shouta: Thank you for telling me your concerns. I will bring this up with Principal Nedzu.

Yaoyorozu: Thank you.

“Mineta Minoru, Principal Nedzu has requested to see you in his office,” Aizawa said, still in his sleeping bag.

Bakugou muttered a small “about time.” The girls looked a little hopeful.

Mineta made his way to the Principal’s office. He sat in the chair in front of Nedzu’s desk.

“Hello Mineta,” he said. “I’ll get straight to the point. Every single girl in Class 1-A has made a sexual harassment claim against you. Several of the boys have claimed to witness this behavior. Here at UA, we have a 0% tolerance for this behavior. You are expelled, effective immediately.”

Nedzu has banned BiTcH from the chat.

Nedzu: Mineta has been expelled! No need for him in the official school group chat!

Shark Boy: Fineeeee

Shark Boy: Would’ve been cool to get the number one hero’s autograph tho 😔

Boom 💥 : He’s only no. 1 by default. If All Might wasn’t retired he would still be no. 2

Bone Abuser: And Todoroki is more than just the son of Endeavor! He’s a hero in his own rite!

Private Chat between Todoroki Shouto and Yaoyorozu Momo.

Todoroki Shouto: Hey Yaoyorozu, just wanted to let you know this changes nothing. You’re still one of my closest friends

Yaoyorozu Momo: Thanks. That means a lot :)

Todoroki Shouto: And

Todoroki Shouto: And I think I might be that way too

Yaoyorozu Momo: Gay?

Todoroki Shouto: Yeah.

Todoroki Shouto: That.

Yaoyorozu Momo: Is it Midoriya?

Todoroki Shouto: Yes.

Todoroki Shouto: It’s just that my dad always said that if I was like that, I would never be the number 1 hero, and becoming number 1 should be my only goal.

Todoroki Shouto: I was fine for a while, because I’d never had a crush, but then stupid Midoriya forced his way into my life with his perfect sunshine personality and it makes me feel things

Todoroki Shouto: It’s very different from the way I feel around you, Tokoyami, Denki, Iida, or any of my other friends. I don’t know if it’s because he’s my best friend, or if I’m in love with him.

Yaoyorozu Momo: I understand. It must’ve been very difficult with all that pressure your dad put on you. If you ever need to talk about this, I’m here to listen :)

Todoroki Shouto: Thank you

Todoroki Shouto: By the way, who do you have a crush on?

Yaoyorozu Momo: …Jirou

Todoroki Shouto: I knew it!

Chapter Text

Midoriya and Kaminari were in the common room, playing a video game. Todoroki was watching them, enthralled by the characters moving and attacking each other on the screen.

“No!” Midoriya screamed as his character died, Kaminari laughing like a maniac.

Kaminari’s head quickly jerked to the side and back, a tic, then jumped up in victory. “I win!”

“That was cool,” Todoroki mumbled.

“Hey Kaminari, are your nails painted?” Midoriya asked, noticing the yellow nails.

“Oh—bahbahbah—yeah I don’t do it very often, I’m probably gonna remove it before class—“

“That’s so cool!” Midoriya cut him off. “It looks good on you.”

Kaminari blushed, mumbling a small “thank you.”

Todoroki looked at the nails with a strange curiosity. “Hey Denki?”

“Yeah?”

“Can you teach me how to play this?” He asked, pointing to the video game.

Kaminari grinned. “Of course!”

Midoriya handed Todoroki the controller, and Kaminari showed him all the controls.

Chapter Text

It was meant to be a simple training exercise. Kirishima and Bakugou were sparring, and Kirishima managed to get Bakugou lying flat on his stomach. Kirishima put his hand on Bakugou’s neck.

Bakugou panicked. All he could think about was the sludge villain and Shigaraki kidnapping him. How terrified he was and how much pain he’d been in.

The next second Kirishima was flipped over. Bakugou punched him in the face.

Kirishima hardened himself just as Bakugou’s fist collided with his face, causing it to start bleeding. Kirishima grabbed it. “Shit, are you alright?”

Bakugou yanked his hand away. Aizawa started walking towards the two of them. “Bakugou, what was that?”

Bakugou stood up and walked out the door.

Private Chat between Bakugou Katsuki and Kirishima Eijiro

Kirishima: Bakugou are you okay?

Kirishima: I’m really sorry I shouldn’t have done that

Bakugou: It’s whatever Shitty Hair

Bakugou: I’m over it

Kirishima: Are you sure? Bc I think you should see a therapist or smth

Bakugou: I DONT NEED THERAPY

Kirishima: Ok

Todoroki was sitting on the floor of his room, arms around his knees, staring at the same spot while sobbing. The lights were off. His head felt blurry and empty. He’d seen his father on the news, his classmates had been praising him, and it sent him spiraling.

“Todoroki?” When he heard Midoriya’s voice after he opened the door, Todoroki snapped out of whatever was happening. Midoriya turned the light on. Todoroki winced at the sudden brightness. “Are you alright?”

He covered his eyes, sniffling. “I’m fine, Midoriya.”

It felt so hard to speak, nearly impossible. His jaw ached from how hard he’d been crying.

“Kaminari wanted me to tell you the school bought a new controller for the Xbox, and we found a three-player game,” Midoriya told him. “He wanted me to ask if you wanted to play… but I can let him know if you’re not up for it.”

“I’d… rather not,” Todoroki said. “Maybe later. Thank you, though.”

Midoriya turned the lights back off, much to Todoroki’s relief. He expected him to leave, but he only opened his phone.

“What are you doing?” Talking was becoming a little easier.

Midoriya closed his phone. “Telling Kaminari.”

He put the phone in his pocket and pulled Todoroki into bed.  “You don’t have to stay here with me.”

“I’m not just gonna leave you alone,” Midoriya frowned and he pulled the covers over the both of them. “You’re crying.”

“I’m used to it,” Todoroki confessed, calming down a little before the crying resurged. He desperately he wanted Midoriya there with him, but he also didn’t want to be a burden.

Midoriya frowned. “I’m sorry. You don’t have to be used to it anymore.”

Midoriya hugged him and pulled him into his chest, and Todoroki felt a warmth spread through him. He loved this feeling, whatever it was. He let himself cry into Midoriya’s shirt and he held him close.

Private Chat between Kaminari Denki and Midoriya Izuku.

Midoriya: Todoroki’s not feeling well rn. I’m gonna take care of him. Maybe later.

Kaminari: OH NO TELL HIM I HOPE HE FEELS BETTER!

Midoriya: I will

“Hey Uraraka, do you want the rest of my mochi?” Tsu asked her girlfriend, handing her the tray.

Uraraka shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”

Her stomach growled, but she really didn’t want to eat. The thought of it made her feel sick.

“Alright,” Tsu said. “Aoyama?”

“Merci,” he grabbed the plate and started eating. Aoyama grabbed one of them and tapped Iida on the shoulder. “Would you like one?”

Iida nodded and Aoyama gave one to him.

“Are you sure you’re not hungry, Uararka?” Midoriya asked, and she nodded. He frowned.

“Class, this is Shinsou Hitoshi,” Kaminari’s heart fluttered when she saw Shinsou in person. He had tired bags under his eyes and messy purple hair, and was really… hot. She tried to ignore it and focus on a spot in the wall that had a small hole, even though she was absolutely positive that Mina saw her blushing. A little “bahbahbah” escaped her mouth against her will. Kaminari hoped that Shinsou didn’t think she was weird now.

Shinsou took Mineta’s former seat and class continued (it had been disinfected). Kaminari ticked a few times during the lesson. Everyone ignored it, as they had ever since Aizawa told them to during the start of the school year.

When the lesson was over, she stayed behind in the classroom. There was something she wanted to know. “Aizawa Sensei? Can I talk to you?”

He nodded and closed the door when the last student left. “What is it, Kaminari?”

“Um…” she awkwardly stuttered. “I-is it against the rules for boys to wear the g-girl’s uniform and the other way a-around?”

Aizawa blinked, as if he hadn’t been expecting that. “Um… it’s not against the rules, no, but it’s not common. Is… there a reason for asking? Do you want to wear the girl’s uniform?”

Kaminari blushed and shook her head. “N-no I was just curious. Thank you.”

She ran out the door, praying that no one was suspicious. She was pretty sure Aizawa Sensei and the class would be supportive if she came out as transgender, but she was still scared of all the “what ifs.” Only Sero knew and got now Kaminari wanted to keep it that way.

Group Chat: Class 1-A

Eraserhead: After some discussion, we’ve decided it would be beneficial to have a required course on mental health.

Present Mic: As heroes, you’re going to come across people with mental illness you’ll need to help. You might even find yourself developing symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, depression, and/or anxiety.

Midnight: Considering the stigma around mental health, and misinformation about several disorders that have become commonplace, we feel that it’s important to educate you on these things.

Boom 💥 : Do we have to?

Bone Abuser: I think it’s a good idea! My mom has schizophrenia, and since that increases my chances of developing it I decided to research as much as I could

now u see me now u don’t: She does?

Bone Abuser: Mhm!

now u see me now u don’t: Oh

Boom 💥 : I just don’t want to take the class

Tsu: Why not?

Boom 💥 : I just don’t want to

Eraserhead: Well it’s a requirement for graduation

pikachu i chose u: Great, another class I’m gonna fail 😞

Nedzu: Don’t worry, this course takes a more hands-on approach to things.

Emo Boy: Sounds good

“Right here in Musutafu city, the No. 1 Pro Hero ‘Endeavor’ encountered the notorious villain Dabi. After an epic fight, the both the hero and villain disappeared. After the area was cleared, police uncovered Endeavor’s remains. A memorial will be healed this Wednesday and a statue is to be built in his honor—“

Todoroki turned the TV off. He left the room, every eye in class 1-A staring at him.

Group Chat: Class 1-A

pikachu i choose u: Hey Todoroki, are you okay??

Hot n Cold: I don’t know

Wingardium Leviosa 🪶 : If you need anything, let me know

Hot n Cold: Thanks

Nedzu: You have a week off of class, all work excused.

Hot n Cold: That will be unnecessary. I can continue classes.

Eraserhead: I don’t think that’s a good idea, kid

Hot n Cold: He wouldn’t want me to

“Hey, Todoroki?” Midoriya opened Todoroki’s door. Kaminari was behind him, holding a tub of ice cream and three spoons. “Can we come in?”

Todoroki nodded, puking the strings of Midoriya’s hoodie tighter. He’d left it in Todoroki’s room and never asked for it back. Todoroki would put it on when he was going through a hard time.

Midoriya looked at the hoodie and smiled, sitting next to him. “Do you wanna talk?”

Todoroki shook his head.

“Okay, you don’t have to,” Midoriya laced their fingers together. “But you’re allowed to be sad. Even though he was… even though you didn’t get along.”

Kaminari sat on the other side of Shouto, frowning. “You didn’t get along with your dad?”

“That’s one day to put it…” Todoroki croaked. “He… he…”

Kaminari handed Todoroki a spoon and opened up the tub of ice cream. “Ice-cream always helps me when I’m sad… I know it can’t really compare to losing your dad—I wouldn’t know how I would feel if I lost my dad—but I was hoping it could help?”

Todoroki gripped the spoon tightly and dug into the tub. He hesitated, since he hadn’t ever had ice-cream. Endeavor told him that it would make him fat, and if he was fat he couldn’t be a hero.

You ruined my life, took away my childhood, isolated me from my siblings and other kids my age, and treated me like an experiment instead of your son.

“He was abusive,” Todoroki blurted out.

Kaminari’s face fell. “Oh.”

Todoroki cried as Midoriya held him. Kaminari patiently listened as Todoroki told the whole story.

Group Chat: Kaminari Denki, Midoriya Izuku, Todoroki Shouto

Izuku: Hey Todoroki isn’t the funeral today?

Shouto: Yeah

Izuku: Do you need anything?

Kaminari: We can play video games afterwards :)

Shouto: I’d like that. Thank you.

Izuku: <3

Momo liked to think of herself as perceptive, but it didn’t take a genius to see that Todoroki’s was not as fine as he pretended to be. She knew that Todoroki struggled with mental health, and she also knew he didn’t have a great relationship with his father. She knew that Todoroki tended to isolate himself when he needed people the most. And now, as soon as classes ended, he locked himself in his dorm and wouldn’t come out for anything.

Todoroki needed people when he was upset. He needed someone there with him to talk, make sure he was eating and sleeping, or just be in the same general vicinity as him when he had a depressive episode. After his father died, he fell into the worst one she’d ever seen him in. That was why Momo gathered everyone she knew he was close with and formed a plan.

Midoriya was in charge of making sure he took care of himself. She instructed him to periodically go in his dorm with food and water and make sure he eats something, then at night make sure he was sleeping. A lot of the time he ended up sleeping in Todoroki’s room.

Kaminari would go in to show him memes and funny videos, and maybe bring the Nintendo switch so he could play Animal Crossing.

Uraraka and Iida decided that they would help him study after the class started seeing a decline in his grades, and Aoyama decided to give him lots of… cheese?

Momo herself and Tokoyami would have their “cult” meetings in his room, which involved sitting on the floor and listening to his favorite musicals.

Momo carefully devised her plan to make sure that Shouto was never alone for longer than thirty minutes as to not seem suspicious. Two and a half weeks after his father’s death, she sighed in relief when she saw him in the common room. He was hiding in a corner, but he was still out of his room. It was a start.

Chapter Text

“You may not be here to make friends, but I like you,” Kaminari grinned. “You’re a proper hero-hopeful just like the rest of us!”

Shinsou felt his face flush and he looked away. He was suddenly very grateful that the voice modulator covered so much of his face. “Whatever.”

Shinsou wondered why ever since this moment, his heart started racing whenever Kaminari was around.

Private Chat between Aizawa Shouta and Midoriya Izuku.

Midoriya Izuku: Hey theres uhh kinda something I want to talk about but I’m really scared of saying it out loud

Aizawa Shouta: Really?

Midoriya Izuku: Ahhhhhh actually nvm

Aizawa Shouta: Midoriya, you can tell me anything. I was only a bit surprised because I expected you to go to All-Might about personal matters, that’s all

Midoriya Izuku: Yeah I’m not sure I want All-Might to know this

Midoriya Izuku: I think

Midoriya Izuku: I think I might be developing schizophrenia

Aizawa Shouta: Oh. How can I help?

Midoriya Izuku: Can you set up an appointment with a psychiatrist without my mom knowing?

Aizawa Shouta: I’m sorry, but no. Since you’re a minor, I would need her consent to do that

Midoriya Izuku: Oh

Aizawa Shouta: Technically I think I have to tell her about this conversation, but I won’t do that

Midoriya Izuku: Thank you

Aizawa Shouta: I do think you should tell your mom about this, though.

Midoriya Izuku: I’ll try

Chapter Text

Bakugou was the first one to notice something going on with Kaminari. They were in class, and the tics were worse than usual.

Kaminari’s head would jerk around and say a bunch of random sounds and words.

Just ignore it, just ignore it, just ignore it.

Bakugou didn’t like to admit when he was scared, but watching his friend (don’t tell anyone he called Dunce Face that) doing this was… scary. It was hard to concentrate on what Cementoss was teaching. He started to understand what exactly was happening when Kaminari had been ticcing nonstop for a few minutes.

Bakugou took a deep breath, calming himself down. Freaking out wouldn’t help Kaminari.

“Dunce Face, come on,” he grabbed Kaminari’s hand and walked out of the class. Cementoss just sighed and let it happen, nodding.

“Y-you don’t— ” cough “—have to—“ Kaminari tried to say.

Bakugou’s opened the door to the dorm’s building. “Don’t you dare say I don’t have to do this.”

Kaminari started coughing over and over again as Bakugou led them through the dorms. They got to Kaminari’s room and Bakugou opened the door.

Kaminari sat on a chair, head jerking around without stop. Bakugou started putting away any sharp objects he could find, knowing Kaminari had a tic to grab something and hit someone (or themself) in the head. Doing so, he found a blue skirt on the ground.

Bakugou picked it up and heard sobs. He looked back at Kaminari’s horrified face.

He shoved it right back where he found it.

When Bakugou had made sure everything was safe, he sat next to Kaminari. Dunce Face was crying, head buried in a pillow.

“Do you need anything?” Bakugou felt weird being nice, but right now Kaminari was more important than his pride. “Lift your hand if you need some water.”

Kaminari’s hand lifted. Bakugou left the room to go get water. He checked the time on his phone, and realized school would be out soon.

He brought back the water and sat next to Kaminari. “School will be over soon. If you don’t want the others to come in, I can tell them not to. But if there’s someone you specifically want, I can drag them in.”

Kaminari’s head violently shook. Bakugou took that as a no.

“Do you think you can drink the water?” Bakugou asked. Kaminari’s head shook again, so Bakugou put it on the bedside table for Kaminari to drink after calming down.

Bakugou pulled out his phone and pulled up Netflix. “Let me know when you see something you wanna watch…”

It took hours, but Kaminari’s body eventually became too exhausted to continue ticcing. The attack was over, and Bakugou made sure Kaminari drank the water before leaving.

Kaminari was in her room with Shinsou, watching a movie with him. Ever since he’d joined Class 1-A, they’d been becoming close. Shinsou refused to admit it, but Kaminari knew she was his friend.

“This movie is stupid,” Shinsou declared once the credits rolled.

Kaminari gasped indignantly. “No it’s not!”

“Yes it is!” He argued. “What was the point?”

“The point is that it’s a really good movie and I’m offended that you hate it,” Kaminari rolled her eyes.

Shinsou chuckled. “I didn’t hate it. I just thought it was stupid.”

She narrowed her eyes. “I don’t trust you. You don’t like my favorite movie.”

Shinsou laughed, head falling onto Kaminari’s shoulder. Her heart raced when she looked into his eyes. He smiled fondly at her. “You’re cute when you get all passionate about the things you like.”

Kaminari blushed and hit him with a pillow, squealing.

Todoroki barricaded himself in his room, lights off as he hurried his face in a pillow and cried. Bakugou was yelling during training, which was nothing new, but he said something  that was nearly the exact same words Endeavor had said once.

Todoroki managed to get through the rest of the day, but it was all a blur. He didn’t remember any of it. As soon as he got into his room, he’d closed the door and started to cry.

All he wanted was Midoriya. The boy would hug him and listen to him cry about all the things his father did to him, even though he’d heard it all already.

Todoroki had never experienced touch that wasn’t violence before Midoriya, and he didn’t know if he would ever be used to it. When the boy wrapped his arms around him, he felt so… safe.

But Midoriya wasn’t here now and Todoroki didn’t have the energy to look for him. His face hurt from the sobbing and he felt like he couldn’t move. Midoriya was probably busy right now anyway—

“Todoroki, are you alright? You seemed pretty out of it today,” Midoriya said as he yanked Todoroki’s door open. His eyes widened when he saw his red eyes and disheveled appearance. “Oh.”

Midoriya walked over to Todoroki and reached out a hand to touch him, but Todoroki flinched so he retracted it.

“‘m sorry,” Todoroki sobbed, turning away. “You’re so amazing and I’m so fucked up, you shouldn’t have to deal with me—“

“Todoroki, I’m going to stop you there,” Midoriya crawled into the bed with him. “I understand that you’re not going to believe me, and it’s okay to feel like that right now. It’s your brain’s way of protecting you from getting hurt again by people who are supposed to love and protect you. But I want you to try ignoring that voice in your head that tells you that you’re a burden or that I’m going to leave you, because I’m not and I don’t plan to. I enjoy being with you, through the good stuff and the bad stuff.”

Todoroki trembled and started crying again. He pulled Midoriya into a tight hug.

“Hey, Todo—“ Midoriya’s eyes widened when Todoroki kissed him, lips pressed against his. He closed his eyes and pushed him away. “Todoroki, no.”

Oh, Todoroki felt ashamed. He just kissed Midoriya. Without his permission. “I’m so sorry—you didn’t want to—“

“Todoroki,” Midoriya sandwiched Todoroki’s face with his hands. “I like you too, but I don’t want to kiss you while your crying. That would be taking advantage of you while your vulnerable. If we do kiss, I want it to be because we both want it when we’re both in the proper headspace to consent to something like that.”

Midoriya offered Todoroki one of his smiles that was purer than sunshine and he felt tingly inside as he nodded.

“Can I at least hug you?” Todoroki asked and Midoriya matched onto him.

Chapter Text

It was Friday, so Kaminari didn’t know why they weren’t going to their normal classes. After home room,  Aizawa had instructed the class to stay. A woman with shoulder length black hair walked in. Aizawa gestured for her to take a seat.

“Alright, so today is going to look a little different,” Aizawa sighed, leaning on his desk,  making it painfully obvious there was literally anywhere he would rather be. “Nedzu has instructed me, as a bonding exercise, to have everyone…” he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Share, not necessary their worst memory, but the one connected to their biggest fear and/or insecurity. Personally, I think this is a violation of privacy and a recipe for disaster, but I don’t get a say!”

Kaminari swallowed down her fear. She didn’t like this idea.

“You can’t do that!” Jirou stood up and slammed her hands on the desk. “There—there has to be laws against this!”

He sighed. “I’m sorry. I don’t like this either. We’ve brought in a Quirk specialist.”

The woman stood up. “Hello, my name is Yamamoto Hotaru. I work as a therapist for children who went through extreme abuse or other traumatic events. A brief summary of my Quirk is that I can access your memories and project them into other people’s minds. They’ll be feeling as if the memory is their own while it’s happening. The goal here is that everyone can open up to their peers and help each other work through their fears and struggles. Any questions or concerns?”

“Do we have to?” Shinsou looked uncomfortable, to say the least. Kaminari understood why, hearing about what his biological parents did to him had terrified her, and she didn’t have to experience it.

“Thankfully, you can opt out of it if you really don’t want to,” Aizawa sighed. “But you’ll have to talk with us privately afterwards, just to make sure everyone’s okay.”

“Any volunteers?” Yamamoto asked. Iida stood up and walked to the front of the room. She placed her hands on either side of his head.

Iida ran through the halls as a nurse berated him. “Mom!”

“Tenya!” His mother walked up to him.

“How is Tensei doing?!” He demanded. When she didn’t answer him, he slammed the door to his brother’s hospital room open. “Tensei!

“Tenya,” his mother said through her medical mask. “Please keep your voice down and wear a mask.”

Iida’s heart stopped at the sight in front of him, on his brother shirtless and strapped to machines. “Tensei—“

“I’m sorry, Tenya,” he whispered as Iida started sobbing. “I lost.”

Kaminari slowly left the memory, still feeling the remnants of grief and fear clinging to her. Midoriya and Uraraka ran up to Iida and gave him hugs. He returned them.

“I can go next,” Midoriya looked at the ground. His friends took their seats as the woman put her hands on his head.

“Hey dad!” Thirteen year old Midoriya said into his phone’s camera, picking up some things on the floor of his house. He was FaceTiming his dad—a man with curly black hair and freckles. “I’ve missed you! I can’t wait to see you in two days!”

“I’ve missed you too,” Hisashi said, smiling. His face suddenly turned sad. “Listen, Izuku, I’ve been… really caught up with work.”

“Oh,” Midoriya froze, heart pounding. “Um, so three days?”

There was a small pause. “Next month.”

“Next month?!” Midoriya asked, voice shaking. “That’s what you said last month!”

“I’m so sorry,” Hisashi closed his eyes. “I really wish I could come, but my boss said—“

“It’s been a year since we’ve seen each other in person,” Midoriya said.

Hisashi looked down. “I know.”

“So are we just never going to see each other again?” Midoriya asked, holding back the tears threatening to fall.

“Of course not!” Hisashi promised. “Next month, I promise you, I won’t put oc off again?”

“Whatever, I don’t care,” Midoriya sniffed. “Don’t even bother next month.”

“Izu—“

“I never wanna see you again,” he hung up. As soon as he did, he started sobbing, falling to the floor.

Midoriya looked at the ground, slowly walking to his desk. He hung his head and buried his face in his arms.

Kaminari suddenly realized that this is what he meant when he said he hadn’t seen his father in three years. Midoriya Hisashi never tried to get off work again. Midoriya never saw him again.

Kaminari raised her hand. “I can go next.”

She was terrified as she walked up to the front of the room. She didn’t know what to expect. The woman’s hands went to either side of her head and she was sucked into memories.

Kaminari sat in her room, laying down in her bed, staring at the wall. She was fourteen years old and the day had sucked.

“Denki, what do you want for dinner?” Her mom’s girlfriend asked. She cringed at the name.

She rolled over. “‘M not hungry.”

“Denki, you have to eat something,” she smiled.

“Just leave me alone!” She cried. The woman opened her mouth, but then just sighed and closed the door.

Kaminari couldn’t take it anymore. She willed electricity out, purposefully short-circuiting her brain so she could escape for a few minutes.

The memory faded and Kaminari’s heart pounded. She was so… ashamed. That was the first time she’d ever used her Quirk to self-harm and everyone had seen it. She just wanted to bury herself in her room and hide. 

“Kaminari, we need to have a discussion after class,” Aizawa told her. She stiffly nodded and walked to her seat.

“Any more volunteers?” Yamamoto asked. When no one did, she sighed. “Then I’ll just start calling people up. Aoyama Yuuga?”

Aoyama’s worst memory ended up being the day his Quirk manifested and started hurting him, and kids at his school told him he couldn’t be a hero. He’d looked really distressed. Kaminari wondered if he’d internalized that and had those thoughts still.

“Asui Tsuyu,” she walked to the front of the room. It ended up being the USJ attack, when the villain with the hands touched her face and she thought she was going to be disintegrated, right before Aizawa cancelled out his Quirk in time.

“Ashido Mina,” she confidently walked to the front of room, but Kaminari could tell she was afraid.

Mina was in a bedroom with a girl. They were both thirteen.

“Sooo, are there any boys you like,” the girl giggled.

Mina laughed uncomfortably. “Yeah, um, actually I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.”

“Do you like my ex?” The girl asked, frowning. “Because u have to warn you, he’s flaming trash—“

“I like girls,” Mina blurted out.

The girl she was with made a face of disgust. “Oh.”

“Please don’t look at me any differently,” she begged.

“When I found out you had two dads, I felt bad for you,” the girl started and Mina tensed. “Like, who are you going to talk to about girl problems?”

“My aunt,” Mina mumbled dejectedly.

“But that’s not the same as having a mom,” the girl sighed. “You need a mom and a dad to be happy. And they turned you gay just like them,” the girl frowned.

Mina walked out of the room crying.

Present-day Mina looked upset. As she was walking to her desk, Kaminari stood up to give her a hug. “Hey what that girl said was messed up.”

“Definitely not something I wanted to relive,” Mina chuckled, looking at the ground.

Bakugou was called up next.

“Kacchan!” Midoriya screamed, running through the woods with bruised purple arms, completely broken.

Bakugou’s eyes widened. “Don’t come, Deku!”

The portal closed just before Midoriya reached it.

The one with the purple scars tied him to a chair.

“What do you want?” He snapped.

The villain grinned.

Bakugou looked extremely uncomfortable. Kaminari knew the entirety of his experience with the League of Villains was extremely traumatic, even if he wouldn’t admit it.

“Hagakure Tooru.”

Hagakure was eleven years old and sitting with some people from her school at lunch. One of the girls was talking and they accidentally smacked her in the face.

“Ow!”

“Oh I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there!” She cried.

“Sometimes I forget you exist,” a boy commented. The girl from before scoffed and lightly slapped him. “What? You can’t see her!”

Hagakure pretended to laugh. “Yep, I’m a ghost!”

The group laughed, but Hagakure wasn’t happy.

Hagakure went back to her desk.

“Jirou Kyouka,” Yamamoto said. She didn’t get it. “Jirou, you’re next sweetie.”

“No,” Kaminari watched her former crush grabbed the desk tightly, knuckles turning white. “Skip me.”

“I’ll go next!” Kirishima decided, giving her a smile. Jirou sighed with relief.

“This is something we should leave to the pros!” Iida yelled. “This isn’t the place for us to act, you idiots!”

“We KNOW that!” Kirishima cried. “But I couldn’t do anything after I heard that my friend was being targeted… I couldn’t do ANYTHING! I DIDN’T do anything! If I don’t do anything now, I won’t be a hero OR a man anymore!”

Kirishima buried his face in his hands, desperate to save his best friend.

“Kouda Koji?”

Kouda’s was ten. He opened his eyes, but he couldn’t move. Sleep paralysis. He saw a cockroach crawling in his thigh. He felt another one on his arm, and a third one on his face. When he could finally move, he screamed and started frantically wiping away the bugs.

Ojiro was six, laying next to his mother. She was connected to a breathing machine and there was a heart monitor beeping steadily. She looked pale and weak.

“I got all A’s on my report card this time,” Ojiro said. “I’m super proud! UA is definitely gonna accept me when I apply and then I’ll be a hero and make you proud too!”

“I’m already so proud of you,” The woman started crying. “You’re going to be a wonderful hero one day.”

Ojiro beamed as he leaned down so his mother  could kiss him on the forehead.

“I love you so much Mashirao,” she whispered. “Never forget that.”

“Mama?” He asked when her body went still. The heart monitor stopes and started making noise. “Mama!”

Ojiro’s father put a hand on his shoulder, eyes red. The boy’s eyes widened with realization and he started crying too. They hugged each other.

“Dear Rikkidou,

I’m sorry”

Satou, fourteen years old, stared at his girlfriend’s suicide note for hours. He was at her funeral, still in denial over the whole situation. This couldn’t be real.

Sero’s was the training camp, where Bakugou was being targeted and no one was able to go after him. 

“Shinsou Hitoshi.”

Kaminari noticed the way he hesitated. “I don’t want to do this.”

“Alright. Shouji Mezou, you’re next.”

Shouji’s was when his mask came off and a kid screamed, thinking he was going to hurt him because he was scary. Todoroki was next and Kaminari didn’t know what to expect.

“I know you can do better than this, Shouto,” Endeavor said, looming over the hunched body of the six year old boy. “Do it again.”

Todoroki desperately fought back tears. “I’m tired.”

Endeavor stepped on the boy’s back which made him scream in pain. He jammed his foot into the side of his son’s body. “I said again!”

Todoroki forced himself to his feet, but fell over again. Endeavor stood on Todoroki’s wrist until he heard something snap.

“Do it agin,” Endeavor said, and Shouto finished his training with a broken wrist.

Todoroki blinked, face entirely blank. Midoriya started sobbing. A few other people in class were crying (Kaminari included). He hugged Todoroki tightly and gave him a kiss on the side of his head.

Tokoyami’s was next.

“Hey Fumikage,” a bird-like woman smiled sadly. “Hey Dark Shadow.”

“Hi Oba-san!” Tokoyami chirped happily.

“Hi!!” Dark Shadow said, floating around Tokoyami.

She started crying. “Fumikage, something happened to your parents…”

“What?” He asked.

“They, um,” she sniffled. “They died. It was a horrible accident, there was a villain attacking and they got caught in the crossfire. I’m so sorry.”

“Uraraka Ochako—“

“No!” The girl screeched. Everyone turned their heads towards her. “I, um, I mean—“

“You don’t have to justify not wanting to share a potentially traumatic memory with everyone,” Aizawa assured her. “That’s why you can choose not to participate.”

She visibly relaxed.

“That leaves Yaoyorozu Momo,” Yamamoto said. Momo stood up and walked to the front of the class. “May I?”

Momo nodded and the woman touched her face.

“You’re brother is doing well as a pro,” Momo’s mother sighed. “I’m so proud of him.”

“That’s wonderful, Mother,” Momo looked down. She was fourteen. “Mother, do you think I can be a hero too?”

Her mother laughed, kissing her on the forehead. “Oh sweetie, that’s hilarious! Momo, you wouldn’t survive out there. You would die in seconds. What are you going to do to fight? Hmm? Make stuffed animals to throw at villains? Will that remind them of their childhood and make them give up villainy?”

The woman let out a loud, shrill laugh and kissed her daughter on the forehead, who was trying not to cry.

“No, sweetie, you’re better off finding a nice wealthy husband to take care of you.”

When it was over, Kaminari decided that she was going to kill Momo’s mother.

Chapter Text

Midoriya had been paranoid all week. It felt like a buzzing throughout his whole body. The voice in his head told him that Bakugou wanted to hurt him again, worse than he ever had before. That he would tell everyone about One For All and they would hate him.

Every time Bakugou got near him, he tensed, expecting to hear the sound explosions. He couldn’t focus on school because the memories ran through his brain when he tried to focus. He didn’t spend time with his friends anymore. He didn’t join their latest prank (they were hiding all of the Bakusquad’s chargers), and instead went straight to his room and locked the door so Bakugou would have to break it down to get in and hurt him, which would make noise.

Midoriya knew this was a delusion and he was just being paranoid, but it felt so real. Instead of getting hurt, he cut off as much contact with everyone as he physically could.

That was until he heard knocking on his door and froze. He felt dread settling in his stomach.

It was Bakugou. He’d come to do something awful, Midoriya knew it. He closed his eyes.

“Izuku?” Todoroki’s voice came out instead. The fear racing throughout Midoriya’s heart didn’t go away, it hadn’t all week, but he knew he wasn’t in immediate danger. His boyfriend was safe. “May I come in?”

“Y-yes,” Midoriya answered. Todoroki opened his door and walked in.

He took a seat in front of Midoriya on the floor. “If you want to break up with me, please say it to my face.”

This was it. Todoroki was ending things. He must hate him. “I-I don’t want to break up!”

“Then why have you been avoiding me?” Todoroki asked, frowning. “Did I do or say something?”

“N-no, it’s nothing,” Midoriya assured him. “It’s a me-thing. I’ve just been… off.”

“Then talk to me,” Todoroki asked him.

The other boy shook his head. “No, I can’t ask you to do that.”

“You’re always there for me,” Todoroki told him. “Please let me be there for you.”

Midoriya then decided to do the scariest thing he’d ever done. “I think I have schizophrenia. And I’m paranoid all the time abd can’t focus on anything because I’m constantly worried about what Bakugou is saying about me.”

Todoroki was quiet for a moment. “Thank you for telling me. Does your mom know?”

He shook his head. “I’m too scared to tell her.”

“Would it help if I was with you?” Todoroki asked him.

Midoriya nodded and kissed his boyfriend. “Yeah, I think it would.”

Spotify Premium: I’m down

Class Mom: It sounds like fun!

Lesbian Queen: To the common room!!

Most of the kids were gathered in a circle in the common room. Todoroki and Midoriya went leaning against each other, holding hands and occasionally kissing. Ever since they’d gotten together, they’d been all over each other.

“I’ll start,” Mina grinned. “Hagakure, truth or dare?”

The invisible girl made a determined sound. “Dare!”

Hagakure had to run outside and scream “IM A GIRAFFE!!!”

Somehow, no one was quite sure how, it turned into seven minutes in heaven. Kaminari spun a bottle to figure out who to get in the closet with, and her stomach dropped when it ended up being Shinsou.

Shinsou, who was literally perfection. He was hot, but kind, and edgy in a cool kind of way. Shinsou, who Kaminari was developing such strong feelings for. Shinsou, who Kaminari could not be with, because he didn’t know that she was transgender and she wasn’t ready to tell anyone.

Mina giggled like a maniac and locked them in the closet.

When they got in, Kaminari was panicking, but Shinsou was having a panic attack.

She recognized the signs. He tensed, his breathing turned heavy, and he was buried into himself.

“Shinsou?” She asked him. “Are you alright?”

He nodded, taking shaking breaths. “I’m fine.”

“Shinsou, you’re having a panic attack,” Kaminari whispered.

“I thought I would be fine,” he admitted. “I’ve been in tight spaces before and been fine, and it’s been a good day.”

“Are you claustrophobic?” She asked him. Shinsou nodded.

“M-my biological parents sometimes locked me in the closet when they didn’t want to deal with me,” he breathed out.

“Jesus,” she muttered. “The more I hear about your biological parents, the more I hate them.”

Shinsou let out a humorless laugh.

“I’m going to get us out of here,” she told him. “Is that okay with you?”

Shinsou nodded. “Please.”

“Hey, Mina!” Kaminari yelled. “I’m freaking out, please let me out of the closet! I’m getting really claustrophobic and I feel like I’m going to pass out!”

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” Mina screeched and yanked the door open. Kaminari pulled Shinsou out. “Please forgive me!”

“It’s fine,” Kaminari gave her a sweet smile. “I am kind of tired, is it okay if I go back to my dorm?”

Mina nodded, so Kaminari pulled Shinsou through the dorm and to her room.

“Hey, Kaminari,” he told her once they were alone. “Thank you.”

She shrugged. “It was nothing. You would’ve done the same for me. Wanna play Mario Kart?”

Kaminari bent down to pick up two controllers.

“Sure,” Shinsou smiled and took it. “Hey, Kaminari?”

“Hm?” She smiled, staring him in his eyes. Shinsou blushed.

“You’re, uh, a really good person,” he said. “I like you a lot.”

Kaminari also blushed. “I like you a lot, too.”

Private Message Between Hagakure Tooru and Ojiro Mashirao

Tooru: Sometimes I start to wonder how much would actually change if I was gone. I’m not super important. I don’t have a cool Quirk. I don’t even know what I look like.

Tooru: I can’t wear makeup because no one wants to see a floating head. I’m literally naked as my hero costume and no one cares (speaking of that I rly need to get a costume like Mirio’s made soon). I think I pretend I’m visible sometimes because it makes it easier.

Tooru: I feel like a nobody

Mashirao: That must suck. I can’t imagine how that feels.

Mashirao: But you’re not a nobody to me. I care about you, more than you know.

Tooru: Thanks.

Bone Abuser: FUCK

Tsu: Lmao Todotoki

Hot n Cold: Is this my new nickname?

Sonic the Hedgehog: Yes

Hot n Cold: Okay.

Kaminari was in her dorm, kissing Shinsou. She really liked kissing him. She felt bad, like she was leading him on. He thought that she was a boy, and that made her really uncomfortable.

She wondered what about her made Shinsou find her attractive, and decided it was probably something to do with her appearance. Something masculine. That made a sickly feeling crawl it’s way into her stomach and settle there.

Kaminari’s neck suddenly jerked. She felt it move against her will as she desperately tried to make it stop as she pulled away from Shinsou.

Her neck hurt so bad. Kaminari suddenly burst into tears because she just wanted it to stop and the pain to go away.

“Hey—it’s okay,” Shinsou wrapped her into a hug.

Her head jerked around in as he kissed her on the side of the head, holding her against his chest. She buried her head in his neck as it involuntarily moved.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled. Shinsou kissed the top of her head.

“No need to apologize,” he whispered softly. She sniffed.

Private Chat between Kaminari Denki and Midoriya Izuku.

Kaminari: How did you come out to your mom?

Midoriya: What?

Kaminari: You’re trans, right?

Midoriya: Oh that

Midoriya: I just sat down, told her how I felt, and she accepted me right away. She ordered a binder immediately and we went shopping for more masculine clothes and got my hair cut as soon as we could afford it

Midoriya: Getting the school to refer to me as a boy and use the right name was a little more challenging, but we managed. The other kids bullied be for it, but Kacchan actually stopped them

Kaminari: Really?

Midoriya: Yeah. He’s many things, but a transphobia he is not

Kaminari: I’m trans

Kaminari: Sjgsishsbsk I can’t believe I just said that holy shit haha

Midoriya: I’m guessing you’re closeted?

Kaminari: My dad is really transphobic. He’s not homophobic, but he’s very transphobic.

Midoriya: Oh, I’m sorry

Kaminari: I’ve known for a while, but I never told anyone until I told Sero this year

Midoriya: If you ever need to talk, I’m here for you :)

Kaminari: Same for you bro :)

“There’s something I need to tell you,” Kaminari told Shinsou, sitting next to him on his bed.

“Alright,” Shinsou said.

“I’m scared,” she admitted. “I don’t want you to break up with me. I’m already weird and annoying, and I don’t want to add this on top of that.”

“I don’t think you’re any of those things,” he promised her. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

“No no, I want to,” Kaminari felt the nausea bubbling up in her stomach. “I’m… I’m a girl.”

“Okay,” Shinsou paused, thinking. “So you’re transgender?”

“Yes,” she closed her eyes.

He nodded. “Alright.”

She was shaking. “Are you going to break up with me?”

“Why would I break up with you over that?” He asked. “You’re the most beautiful, most talented, most amazing girl in the world.”

Kaminari felt her entire face flush and her heart burst with joy. She felt warm and tingly all over. “Oh.”

“So do you want me to use different pronouns?” Shinsou asked.

“She/her,” she said. “But… only around Sero and Midoriya. They’re the only people I’ve told.”

“And your name?” He asked.

Kaminari felt so awkward and embarrassed. She really didn’t like talking about this. “I hate the name Denki.”

“Do you have another in mind?” Shinsou asked.

“I don’t know,” Kaminari felt her eyes tear up. “I  didn’t think I would make it this far.”

Shinsou’s eyes widened with realization. “Oh.”

Kaminari took a deep breath. “I guess I should probably look for one.”

Shinsou studied her face. “What about Kaminari Raiko?”

“Huh? Thunder?” Kaminari asked. Raiko. She liked that.

“Yeah, Raiko,” he smiled. “Kinda fitting?”

Kaminari laughed. “I like it. But I’m not sure if I want it to be my name permanently.”

“I can use it around you for now, and if you decide to change your mind you can let me know,” Shinsou offered and Kaminari nodded.

“I like that idea,” she smiled.

“Alright, Raiko,” he smiled. Oh yeah, she really liked that. “I’ll call you Kaminari around everyone else.”

She nodded. “Thank you.”

“Anything for you,” he kissed her and Kaminari wrapped her arms around his neck, giggling.

Private chat between Ashido Mina and Bakugou Katsuki

Bakugou: Hey I know that craps can be really painful or whatever so i got you some chocolate

Bakugou: This isn’t because I like you

Ashido: You got me chocolate 🥺

Bakugou: TELL ANYONE AND YOU’RE DEAD

Ashido: You’re so sweet 😭

Bakugou: No I’m not

Bakugou: Shut up

Bakugou: I’m taking the chocolate to your room. Let me know if you need anything else

Ashido: Okay ^ - ^

The Dekusquad gathered in the common room, wearing their night clothes and laughing as they dragged pillows and blankets.

“Okay, so you start by getting something like a really tall chair,” Uraraka began setting up the tent. “Then you drape blankets over it like this.”

Todoroki picked up a blanket. “Can I try?”

“Of course!” Uraraka smiled and stepped back.

Todoroki sloppily placed his blanket to cover an open section. He turned around, eyes wide and seeking praise.

“That was perfect!” Midoriya hugged him. Todoroki blushed when he kissed his cheek.

“What movie should we start with?” Iida asked, laying the DVDs on the ground.

“Frozen,” Uraraka decided.

Private Chat between Midoriya Izuku and Todoroki Shouto

Izuku: Shouto there are cameras in my room

Shouto: What?

Izuku: There are cameras in my room Shouto I’m scared help me

Izuku: I  think the league of villains broke in

Izuku: T hey’re after me Shouto i don’t know what to do what do I do

Shouto: Izuku I don’t think there are any cameras in your room. I think you’re hallucinating

Izuku: No I’m looking at them right now

Izuku: I think there are bugs too

Shoto: Izuku please go to sleep

Izuku: No it’s right there

Izuku: Huh

Shouto: What?

Izuku: I took a picture

Izuku: There’s nothing there

Izuku: I feel stupid

Shouto: Izuku, you’re not stupid.

Shouto: Do you feel safe now?

Izuku: Not really

Izuku: I can still see them and I’m not entirely convinced there isn’t some Quirk on them making cameras unable to take pictures on them or something 

Shouto: Do you want me to come over?

Izuku: Yes please

Izuku: I’m sorry

Shouto: It’s okay.

Once Izuku was wrapped up in Shouto’s arms, he hurried his face in the warm side of his boyfriend’s body. He just wanted to close his eyes and stay this way forever—holding and being held by Shouto. It was perfect.

If he closed his eyes, maybe he could make the hallucinations go away. Maybe he wouldn’t get paranoid, or hear voices in his head trying to convince him that his food is poisoned or someone was following him, or—

“You need to tell your mother,” Shouto murmured, gently wiping away the tears that still cling to Izuku’s eyes, then pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.

Izuku smiled sadly, leaning into it. “I know.”

Private chat between Kaminari Denki and Shinsou Hitoshi.

Raiko: Do you have the,,,, *things*????

Raiko’s super hot sexy bf 🥵 : Ye

Raiko: Ok wow this is actually happening

Raiko’s super hot sexy bf 🥵 : Are you sure you wanna do  this?

Raiko: Yes I’m just nervous

Raiko: I’ve never done this before

Raiko’s super hot sexy bf 🥵 : Me neither

Raiko: <3

Raiko: You should stop by tonight ;)

Raiko’s super hot sexy bf 🥵 : Maybe I will ;)

Raiko: Askguyftsrdyg ♥️

Kaminari ran around her room, frantically finishing up the last of her cleaning. Then she brushed her hair (which was getting longer!!) and tried to style it in a way that was cute.

Should she dress up nice for this? Would that be pointless if her clothes were going… off… anyway?

She felt butterflies in her stomach at the thought of what Shinsou and her were about to do. They’d been talking about it, and had messed around a bit before, but she’d never done this before.

Kaminari started giggling like an idiot. She decided to go with just a t-shirt and some shorts, and some some light makeup that she stole borrowed from Mina. Then she sat on her bed, waiting.

Knock knock knock.

She scrambled to open the door, revealing Shinsou. His hands were in the packets of his hoodie, which he pulled out to show her he really did have the stuff mentioned.

“Come on in,” she said, closing the door behind her and locking it.

Shinsou looked at her, his face red. “How do we do this?”

Kaminari looked away. “I’m not sure…”

“Raiko,” he began, grabbing her hands and looking into her eyes. Kaminari felt her face burn. “I love you.”

Her heart raced. “I love you too.”

“I’m very happy that you’re the first person I’m doing this with,” he told her, kissing her hands.

“Me too,” she breathed out, and they were kissing.

That night was perfect, and there’s nothing either of them would have changed about it.
