  "Mmm.. the food was good, wasn't it?" Denki asked, licking his fingers.
  "Gross, use some napkins!" Though Kyoka plucked a few and tossed them his way, her face was relaxed and in good humor.
  I chuckled and nodded along, forgetting the eventful and emotional day.. until I reached out for my glass. Ow. I took a quick sip not wanting to draw attention.
  "Do you have pain killers at your place?" Shinso asked quietly.
  Ah.. "I don't generally take-" I started, but a message on my phone both lit up the screen and sucked out the last of its power.
  "Ooh, want to see a cool trick?!" Denki hopped up.
  "Here we go.." I hear a chorus around me.
  The next thing I know, Denki was gesturing 'give-me' from Kyoka who rolled her eyes and handed him a multi-ended cable from her purse. After attaching the matching end, he put the other in.. his mouth?
  "Are you-?"
  "Yep! Cool, right?" He mumbles around the cord. I hear him and Kyoka bickering 'You don't have to put it in your mouth', 'It's for the extra Wow-factor!' as I lean in to ask Shinso, "What's your quirk?"
  "He can- ow!" Denki was warned with a pinch from his side.
  "That's his business." Kyoka scolded him.
  I look at her, at Denki, and then at Shinso.. who is scratching his nape. "Uh.. sorry.. you don't have to answer.."
  He's momentarily relieved but attempts to answer anyway. "I, uh.. well, there's.."
  Even next to Denki and my already charged phone, I felt the energy drain from the table.
  "There's no way to describe it where it doesn't sound.." He sighed before continuing, "I can manipulate.. people."
  Ping. I jumped up a little. "Oh, it's my aunt." I thank Denki for the juice and send her a quick reply, I ate well! Before awkwardly facing my phone down on the table. I'm a bit unnerved, but more than that, I'm intrigued. "...How?"

  "Should we exchange numbers?" Denki asked with a little nervous laugh as we got out to the sidewalk.
  "Um.." I glance at Kyoka. She's then the one to hand me her phone. Oh, "Cool, yeah." I quickly added my contact and felt a shuffle beside me. Hah.. Denki's a real wing-man, huh?
  "Uh. Don't feel pressured or anything.." He says embarrassed as I enter my info for him.
  I just smile and thank them all for the night before heading back in the direction of my dorm.

  "She's a keeper, huh?"
  Shinso narrowed his eyes, but softened when he asked in return, "You think so?"
  Denki didn't skip a beat, "For sure, man!" ..To which Shinso activated his quirk, making him pull his own wedgie. Kyoka just shrugged and started walking the opposite way, done being associated for the night.
  Ping. Shinso looked down at his phone. "I'll see you guys tomorrow.." He trailed off without awaiting a response. 'Walk me back?' "Where did she even g-?"
  "Here."
  Shinso turned around on the spot. I was just around the corner of a building, standing against its wall.
  "Is everything alright?" He asks.
  "I.. I want you to use your quirk on me."
  He stood there looking like I was crazy. I was starting to lose my nerve but went on, "Today I had.. a bad experience during self-defense class. I ended up dropping the course. I want to know what it feels like to be under a quirk like yours.. and how to defend myself against it.
  After a few moments of him just blinking.. "I would never.. I have never thought of or would I ever think of using it on you. I don't want to." He refused.
  "I trust you." I said simply.
  "H-how can you? We just met today, and-" He gestured around like look where we are. The light in the alley was flickering.
  I put my injured hand gently on his shoulder and asked quietly, "What would you make me do, if you could control me?"
  Ah.. it's too easy to tease him.. He's turned red, at odds with his indigo and purple features.
  "I'd.. just make you take yourself home and tuck yourself into your bed. You've had a long day, and-"
  "You don't need to use your quirk to tuck me in."
  "..." More blinking.. "Do you even know what you're saying right now?"
  "Yes." I mouth the word in response as if it was so long, proving that I'm ready to be manipulated. Wait, Ow! I get a sudden headache. As I hold my head, I hear a panicking Shinso as if far away. Strings of thoughts float in my head. 'Don't say things so easily', 'I want to help you, but not like this', 'Can you get to your dorm safely?'
  "What's happening? Please answer me!"
  I shake off the pressure in my head and finally hear him clearly.
  "That's never happened before.." He said, completely baffled.
  "I think.. I was hearing your thoughts.. not just your.. commands or whatever."
  "Commands? No, I didn't-"
  I falter into his arms. "I think.. my barrier went up subconsciously."
