As Denki sat in the dinning hall for breakfast that morning, the conversation with Kendo, from the night before, played over and over in his head like a song that was left on repeat but every time he heard it, he picked new information from the ever increasing sanity of the girl's words...
A tap on his shoulder ripped him from the deepest corners of his mind in which he likes to become trapped within.
"...enki? Denki? Denki!?"
"Huh?! Oh! Sorry Mina... Did you say something?"
"You looked distant. Everything OK? You know you can tell us if anything is bothering you."
"I guess I was just caught up in my own thoughts, that's all."
"OK... If you say so..."
"So what activities do you think we will be doing today?" Asked Sero as he stuffed another forkful of pancake into his mouth.
"Don't know. But I did hear something about a trust exercise that we would be doing, though." Kiri answered as he wiped his mouth on his napkin.
"Sounds like fun!" Mina squealed.
"It sounds useless and boring..." Bakugo grumbled in annoyance.
"What do you think, Kami?" Shinso asked.
Denki wasn't paying attention but instead he heard the yells of insults, felt the ghost of the abuse. He had to get out of here. He had to talk to someone... Looking around, he caught the turquoise eyes of Kendo.
Without another word, Denki got up and made his way over to Kendo, leaving his friends to be encased in the confusion that was left to hang in the air.
When he reached the table, he noticed that Kendo was sitting with Tetsutetsu, Monoma and two other students from their class.
"What do you want, Short Circuit?!" Monoma said in annoyance.
"Bro! Don't be so mean! That's one of Kiri's friends." Tetsutetsu frowned.
"What's up, Kaminari?" Kendo asked sweetly.
"Can I, uh... Talk to you please?" Denki said, embarrassment controlling his words.
"Of course! Come on, let's go outside."
The duo walked off and stepped outside and began to walk the perimeter.
"What's wrong?" Kendo began.
"Kiri said that we might be doing some sort of trust exercise today and I guess... I just kinda panicked that they would find out about my family and home life, you know...?" Denki sighed.
"I understand. How about this; if what Kirishima says is true and we have to be paired up, I'll be your partner, alright?"
"OK... Yeah! Thanks, Kendo!"
"No problem! And you know... You can't keep it as a secret for too long, because eventually someone will find out, or you might not be able to bare the burden anymore and just tell them."
"...."
"And if you do, I'll be right by your side and even tell them about my family. That way, you won't feel uncomfortable and outta place. 'Kay?"
"OK. Thanks again, Kendo."
"No problem!"
The two of them embraced as they stood outside, before they made their way back inside to join the others and find out about today's activities.
