8 Bit Glitch

Part 18~Hopeful Approval

Biting my lip in concentration, I attacked the boss. I may not have slept in two days but that didn't mean I wasn't going to beat this level!

"Dekiru! Are you coming?" Katsuki threw open the door, a disappointed glare on his face. "You didn't sleep again, did you? Alright, time to go." Katsuki grabbed the back of my collar, forcedly dragging me away from the screen.

"Nooooo! Katsuki! What are you doing?!"

"Get in the shower and get changed!"

"At least let me save!"

Katsuki ignored me, throwing me into the bathroom. Rude.

~~~

"Denki! Katsuki wouldn't let me finish the level!" I hit my head against Kaminari's shoulder making him chuckle. He lifted a hand, playing with my hair and letting me relax. I wrapped my arms around Kaminari, humming in satisfaction.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it, right Katsuki?"

Katsuki glanced over his shoulder for a brief second before scoffing. "He had to get up or he wouldn't come at all."

Mina hummed, tilting her head. "You know, isn't it weird that you always have to wake up Dekiru. Does that mean you live together or do you just come and go as you please?"

"Hey, that's a good point. You called Dekiru your brother but you look nothing alike and don't share the same name. So what is the deal?" Kirishima locked eyes with Katsuki, a small spark of worry in the depths.

"Firstly, we don't live together. Inko lets me come and go as I please since I'm the only one that can get him out of bed. Our parents were friends in high school and so we grew up close. And since Inko is my godmother and my mum is his, we are technically siblings." Katsuki waved off the situation, making me roll my eyes.

"I would prefer you left me to play."

"You would prefer to play games than do anything else?" Kaminari gave me a sad expression as I pulled him closer.

"Other than you, yep." Kaminari blushed as I yawned and buried myself deeper in his shoulder.

I vaguely heard Aizawa ordering us to get to the bus. Kaminari pulled me to the back, letting me rest against his shoulder. He smiled slightly before shuffling to get into a comfortable position, knowing full well he wasn't moving until I was rested.

Slowly the voices on the bus muted and I fell into a light slumber.

"Come on Denki!" Charging down the road, I kept my hand linked with Denki's, dragging him behind me.

"Where are we going?!"

Chuckling, I ignored Denki's question, skidding to a halt. Denki wasn't able to stop in time, crashing into my back with a confused expression.

"Izuku? Where are we? I've never seen you this excited and that includes when I brought you the pre-Quirk mint condition adventure game."

"Firstly, it was a murder mystery game and secondly, this is where my dad works."

Denki's eyes widened as he looked up. The tall building towered over him like a giant looking down at a dwarf. Denki couldn't even see the top floor from here. "Your dad works here?! Wait, wait, wait! Hold up! Why are we going to see your dad?!"

"Denki, calm down. Dad's asked me to alfa test one of his games for the upcoming conference."

"Woah... So your dad's a game developer? That seems about right."

Nodding, I started to lead Denki inside. "He's one of the most influential developers in the company. He's really good at his job." I gave my security pass to the guard who raised his eyebrow at Denki. I knew most of the people working here so of course, they would be nosey the second someone other than Katsuki is seen with me. "Almost all the games he's developed end up the must need game. The fandoms are massive and a large proportion ends up with adaptations to other media with the twin company."
