Diseased (ShinKami)

Chapter 22

SELF HARM MENTION

When they got back to the 1A dorms, Present Mic placed Denki across the couch. Aizawa was ordering the students around, asking them to get supplies. The two teachers, plus Midnight, sat near Kaminari. They got him to sit up. Present Mic had a cloth with some ointment on it a brought it to one of the cuts on Denki's torso.

"AAAAAHHHHH! STOP! STOP IT!" Denki screamed.

"I'm sorry, Kaminari but we need to clean your wounds before they get infected." Mic replied.

Kaminari's friends looked on with sadness. What could they do to help?

"Hey, Kamimari-kun?"

"Yes, Jiro?"

"You said something about your mum. What was she like?"

"...... She was amazing... She was the kindest person I had ever known... She would take me on walks and we'd sit under the Sakura tree in the park... We would watch the stars, too... She never stopped loving me even when I got my quirk aged 6..."

"WOW...! You got your quirk at 6...?! Isn't that a late age to get your quirk?"

"Mum had said that everyone on her side of the family were late bloomers for quirks, even she was, so she didn't even mind when I had told her that I could've been quirkless.... I mean, my grandma was... So it could've been a possibility..."

"She sounds wonderful."

"She was... She had these sunflower eyes and sunshine hair. The most amazing laugh and she took a liking to everyone... When I was much younger, before she met my dad when I was 5, we would take in stray animals and find them homes..."

Denki felt tears fall. It wasn't until he had finished talking did he realise that his wounds had been cleaned and wrapped. Jiro had taken his mind off of it by distracting him. Denki's eyes felt heavy and he laid his head on the tired teacher's shoulder and dozed off. Aizawa picked him up and took him to his room.

When Aizawa returned, he was met with the concerned and surprised faces of his other students.

"WOW. Don't look at me like I just committed a massacre. All I did was take Kaminari to his room."

"It's not that, Sensei." Tokoyami replied.

"What's gonna happen to Kaminari?" Sato added.

"His mother has passed and his father is in jail. Where is he gonna live. He can't stay in the dorms every day." Asui whispered.

"Yeah! The dorms are closed during weekends and holidays." Midoriya agreed.

"Alright. I see what you all are trying to do. As he doesn't have any parents now, plans will be put in place for him. But it's nothing to worry about. Just let the adults deal with it for now."

The students nodded their heads just as the common room door burst open and Tetsutetsu stood there, out of breath.

"Tetsubro!? What's wrong?!"

"Brother?! Have you seen Vlad King?! We can't find him!"

"No... What's wrong?!"

"It's Kendo..."

Mic states that he'll stay back to watch Denki and that the others should go. Everyone ran out of the dorm and they made a beeline for 1B. When they got there, they ran to the girl's room. Tetsutetsu ran in and entered her bathroom. He crouched down by her side and started to rub circles on her back. Midnight pushed through and sat by her side. She gripped her wrists and saw the deep cuts tracing the length of her arm.

"Oh, Honey...!"

"I.... I want it to s-stop..."

"Itsudo...?" Came a new voice through the crowd.

"Kami...?" She looked up and locked eyes with the battered, bruised and tired blonde.

The boy crouched down in front of her and fell to his knees, wrapping her in a hug.

"you were there for me when I needed it... So let me help you..."

"thank you Pikachu..."

"Please don't do it... You're my best friend and I don't want to *cough cough* lose you..."

"I promise... But you're sick... You should go to bed."

Mic picked up the boy, koala style, and carried him back to the 1A dorms and back to his bed. The rest of the class close behind. Kendo stood up and hugged Tetsutetsu. The metal boy hugged her back.

~~~~~~~~~

Back in the dorms, they heard bone shaking coughs escape from the small blonde's room. Everyone was scared for him.

"What's gonna happen to him, Senseis?" Midoriya asked.

"We're not sure... But the police were going to check his records."
