Diseased (ShinKami)

Chapter 13

Once again, Denki found himself outside, but this time, he was around the fire with the other students, sitting next to Kendo as the eyes of his squad seem to burn into him. He didn't know how to react, except to keep his head and eyes down.
He felt an arm slink over his shoulder and looked up to see Kendo, providing him some reassurance and comfort.

As they sat there by the fire, it was a sudden sound of the camp leader talking, that took Denki's attention from the flames. It was time to turn in for the night, so he said goodnight to Kendo and made his way to his cabin, only to meet Shinso halfway.

As he lay in bed, he heard, and felt, the other boy roll over on the bed beneath him. Staring at the ceiling, thoughts flooded through Denki's head. He though of his mother, his asshole of a father and everything that has happened in the short amount of time since their arrival to the camp.

Tears started to form and aimlessly roll down his cheeks with no hesitation. Oh how much he missed his mum. She was the light of his life! She did every thing with him when he was younger; she held a funeral for his fish before it got flushed, helped hand out lost cat poster for his tabby Boomer, sowed up the rip in his favourite stuffed bear Bruno but as a result, she had to put up with the fucking abuse from his motherfucking asshat of a father, only to be met with a horrible fate... He really wanted his mum to be there when he graduated from UA... But turns out the world had other plans....

~~~~~~~~~~

Around 1am that night, Denki jolted awake in a cold sweat from the horrors in which he suffered from behind his eyes. He had dreamt that when he got home... The terrible stuff that his father would do... Shaking, Denki pulled his knees to his chest, trying to slow his breathing while letting the tears tiptoe down his cheeks.

On the bed below, the steady breathing of Shinso's slumber filled the silent cabin. With the tears still dripping, he turned on his phone, the lock screen illuminating his face. He entered his password and went straight to contacts. He clicked on Kendo's name and texted her;

Pikaboy
Hey.
Could you please meet me at the dinning hall?
I need to talk to you.

Itsudo
Is typing...

Itsudo
Sure.
Everything OK?

Pikaboy
Not really.

Itsudo
Ok.
I'll meet you there in 2minutes.

As Denki waited for Kendo to arrive, he allowed the cool breeze to wash over his tear stained face. He pulled his sleeves down further and cuddled into himself.
He saw the light of a lantern and a shadowed figure. It took him a moment to realise that it was Kendo.
She had her hair down, black pajama bottoms, a white shirt and an aqua hoodie, she sat next to the boy, placing the lantern between them on the ground.

They sat in silence for a bit before Kendo spoke up.

"Everything OK?"

"Not really... I didn't get the best of sleep. I fell asleep thinking of my mum and what my jackass dad did to her..."

"I hate it when that happens... I know from personal experience. Its not fun, especially if you wake up from nightmares afterwards..."

"You have nightmares too...?"

"Yah. Mainly about my Mother and Stepdad. I know they hate me but sometimes my mind gets a bit creative and I start to imagine the worst possible scenarios of what the could do to me..."

"That's what's been happening with me recently... I've started to imagine scenes in which I come out to my dad about my sexuality and he takes it into his own hands..."

A long silence was all that was left in the air at this point. The moon cast a beautiful illumination over the lake and, if the situation was different, it would make for a perfect scene right out of a movie.
Denki watched the water and tried to trace the ripples over the casting shadow of the full moon. The stars shone above and reflected in his eyes and they matched the aquamarine eyes of the girl next to him.
If he wasn't hopelessly in love with Shinso, he would defiantly fall for the tall, beautiful gingerette next to him.

They continued to sit like this for a little while longer until the time clicked to 2am and they decided to squeeze in a few more hours of sleep, if possible, before they heard the banging on their doors or their alarms screaming at them... Although... If some one just pissed off Bakuhoe early in the morning, it would be a combination of both banging of doors and screaming.

Denki lay back down in bed and tried to synchronize his breathing with the other boy, hoping to fall into a bit of a slumber.

This was so fun to write!
I hope you all enjoyed it!

Sorry if you are getting annoyed for the wait of Denki getting sick, I promise its not far off. I just wanted to have something to lead up to the moment.

Go Beyond!
PLUS ULTRA!!!!!
