After playing many games, they decided to watch a movie. Sero, Jiro and Mina were all laying on the floor, Bakugou and Kirishima were on the couch, and Anna and Denki were on the bed. Everyone was sleeping except for Anna. She couldn't get the thoughts of her dad out of her head. The horrible memories of the things that he did to her and her family. All of the beatings, and the sleepless nights, from all the fighting, that her whole family went through to protect her. The number of times her older brother Jay was in the hospital after protecting Anna. It was all too much for her to handle. She started crying. This woke Denki up.

He looked up at the crying girl and had a wave of worry, and sadness hit him all too fast. He jolted up to calm the crying girl.

"Anna? Are you ok?" He asked in a concerned yet tired voice. Anna looked over at him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh sorry did I wake you?" She asked wiping her tears. Denki put a comforting arm around her. She looked at him for a second, the started crying some more. She hid her head in his chest and Denki wrapped his other arm around her stroking her hair, while saying "Hey, hey, it's ok. You're ok. You're safe now." They sat there for a bit, then Denki leaned back bringing Anna with him. Denki was now laying down with Anna on his chest.

At this moment, he wasn't thinking about the huge crush he had on her, or how Bakugou would react if he found out. He just wanted to cheer her up.

They laid like that for a while, with Anna crying. After a while, she calmed down. They still laid there for a few minutes, then Denki asked, "Are you feeling better?" Anna nodded her head, and Denki smiled before continuing. "Do you want to talk about it?"

She was hesitant, before nodding and sitting up. Denki sat up too. Anna was looking down and Denki looked at her. "Take your time."

Anna took a breath then opened her mouth to talk but all that came out was tears. Denki put his hands on hers. She put her head on his shoulder, then a few seconds later, she spoke.

"I was thinking back." She pauses for a moment. "Back to when my dad still lived with us. The abuse, and beatings he put my mom, my siblings, my aunts and uncles through. Just so I was safe. He sent a lot of them to the hospital."

Denki took one of his hands and started stroking her hair.

Anna continued, "Now that he's in Japan, I just don't want him to hurt anyone else for me."

"Anna listens to me," Denki started, and Anna looked up at him. "Everyone in UA is training for things like this. With enough people, no one is going to get hurt."

"But they will," she looked away, "They always do, and it's all my fault."

"But it's not."

"No, it is-"

"Anna," Denki said cutting her off. "It's not your fault. Did you call him here?"

"Well no, but-"

"Did you tell him to hurt people?"

"No, but-."

"Then it's not your fault."

"But I'm the one-"

"Hey." Denki puller her head to look at him. "It's not your fault."

Anna looked at him in shock. No one had ever told her that. She also never told anyone about this. What was so different about Denki? Why was it so easy for her to open up to him? She didn't know. And to be honest, she didn't really care. She was just happy to get that off of her chest, and for someone to help her through this. And she was happy that it was Denki. She felt more confident around him. Safe, and truly happy. She realized that she was able to go a few days without her antidepressants, ever since she started hanging out with Denki. She was truly happy with him. She smiled at him, and he smiled back.

Denki glanced just over her, at the couch, and saw Bakugou and Kirishima cuddling. He looked at them in shock. He pointed at them causing Anna to look and she was shocked at what she saw. 'I knew it.' She thought. She grabbed her phone and snapped a quick picture. She had her flash on and Bakugou moved a little. Both Anna and Denki froze in fear. Bakugou moved but didn't wake up. Once he stopped, they both sighed in relief. Denki looked at Anna.

"I love blackmail." Anna giggled, and so did Denki.

Anna looked at the time. '11:30' the clock read. Anna yawned, causing Denki to yawn. Denki laid back down on his back with one hand behind his head and the other on his stomach. Anna looked at Denki. He lifted the hand on his stomach as if asking Anna if she wanted to lay her head on his chest. She silently agreed by laying her head there. He brought his hand back down and started playing with her hair. Anna smiled.

"Your hair is really soft," Denki said.

Anna giggled a little. They stayed up for a few minutes talking, till Anna fell asleep.

"Anna?" Denki down looked at Anna who was sleeping. He smiled and blushed slightly.

"Sweet dreams, spark plug." Denki said as he fell asleep.

In the Morning

Anna woke up to the sound of her door closing. She looked over and saw that Bakugou and Kirishima were gone. Along with Mina, Sero, and Jiro. The only person left in the room was Denki, who she was laying on. She looked up and saw Denki on his phone. She stretched, and Denki looked at her.

"Oh hey. Good morning." He smiled. Anna sat up and stretched some more. Denki sat up too. "Did you sleep well?" He asked.

"Mhm." She smiled and nodded.

"Oh, Mr. Aizawa was looking for you. He said that he wanted to talk to you about your dad. The pros were some information on him. You don't have to go if you're not ready tho."

"No, it's ok. Whatever helps." Anna replied.

Anna stood up and when to the door. Denki followed. She walked down to Mr. Aizawa's room. Anna knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, Mr. Aizawa opened the door. "Oh hello Anna. Come on in."

She looked at Denki and said "I'll be back ok? Save me some breakfast."

"Sure." They both smiled, and Anna walked into Mr. Aizawa's room. He closed the door. Denki stood there for a few seconds.

'She's gonna be ok.' He thought to himself.

In Mr. Aizawa's room, she saw Wyatt sitting there. He stood up and hugged her tightly. "Are you ok?" Wyatt asked. "I'm fine." She answered.

"Please sit down you two." Mr. Aizawa said. They listened to him and sat down in the chairs in front of his desk. "So, what can you tell me about your father?"
