In Your Arms

Not Without You ((Chapter 1))

((Denki's POV))

I woke to bang on my door. My room was still dark and my alarm clock read 4:45. I sat up and rubbed my eyes glancing at my back sleeping deaf kitty then back at the door. My heart was fast from waking up to such a loud bang on my door. I stood up but heard another bang on my door making me jump. I rush to the door and opened it to see an angry Bakugou and a worried Kirishima. Kirishima jumps on me, wrapping his arms around my waist and trapping my arms. Bakugou moved my messy hair out of my face and looked at me in the eyes, revealing my confused, freckly face. He scoffed. "Were you fucking asleep?" I return Kiris hug, his grip tightened around me, pressing my body against his and I shift onto my tip goes since he was now slightly picking me up from the ground.

"Yeah it's 4 in the morning, why wouldn't I be?" Kiri put me down and quickly lifted my face to look at me. "It's almost five in the afternoon dummy." Kirk started but Bakugou followed. " when did you go to sleep?" I just shrugged and he wasn't happy with that. My kitty hopped out of my room. No literally hopped. Out. Of. My. Room. I laughed a little and saw Bakugou bend down and pick it up. "Yeah, no your gonna eat something, and your sleeping in my room tonight. You're a fucking idiot and if me damned if you sleep at another crazy hour. Cause you must have to wake up this late. Now c'mon." I pointed and crossed my arms. "But-" before I could even begin Bakugou shut me down with a look that threatened me to utter another word.

But you see, even if it is a little scary sometimes can't ignore your brat. It's too tempting. I smirked but decided not to go against his wishes. But I will be sassy. "Ok you little Chihuahua, don't get your panties in a twist. Lemme grab my toothbrush and cat food." He was pissed but I went into my room listening to Bakugou curse me out as if it was the background music. I filled my kitty's bowl with cat food. It was pretty small since had was pretty small himself. He is old enough to eat it though. His name was on the side, it said Loki. Not as in the villain, but as in the Norse God. Because this one was a mischievous little thing. I grabbed my toothbrush and looked down realizing I was in some extremely short shorts that were being covered by my hoodie.

My hoodie was fairly oversized and it covered the scarred parts of the thighs I didn't wanna show anyone but just to be safe I slapped on some basketball shorts and was ready. We stopped by the bathroom and I got myself ready. From there we went to the kitchen and I put Lokis food on the table. He liked Bakugou but when he noticed the food he sneaked out of his arms and hopped onto the counter hurrying over to eat his food. I open the fridge and reached my hand out to grab a Bang but Sero suddenly grabbed it first which startled me for a second. I huffed and reached over to grab it. "Bro no fairer!" He held it up and opened it. "Nah, this shit buissin. Plus you be chugging these like as if it's water. Having one less will do you some good." I wind and jumped up trying to grab it but mina came up behind me and hugged me before I could try again.

Sero by now was drinking it and I glanced over at Kiri and bakugou and shivered. The first time I see Kiri glaring at I think mina? Not surprised at Bakugou doing it but something about it just didn't sit right with me. They stopped almost instantly when they saw me tune my head so I only saw it for a second. Was I imagining it? I shook it off and focused on how bakugou was leaning on kiris back with his arms around his waist. Sure they were dating so it's normal but peace of me was hurt by it. Since I remember having a crush on them in the past back before they were dating. But when they came out to be dating I let it go as best as I could.

I cared for him and I wouldn't wanna get in between that. I want them to be as happy as possible. So I simply pushed it down and focused on being a good friend. It was hard sometimes since they were touchy with me. Kiri liked hugging me and seems to always touch me when he has the chance. Bakugou always seems to sit close to me and doesn't know about personal space so our thighs meet or we accidentally touch but we 'accidentally' touch way too much. And I don't hate it. I don't question it either. But I. Don't wanna be wrong and ruin the friendship j have with them. I don't wanna be selfish. "Denki?" I snap out of it not realizing I had spaced out. Mina, Sero, and Kiri were in my face so naturally, I backed up but my back hit Bakugou.

Kiri got concerned but this time Sero spoke out. "Are you ok?" My thoughts were kinda everywhere but I spat out what I hope would be a valid excuse. "Yeah, sorry I just spaced out." Well didn't make a fool of myself. Now it was minas turn to speak. "Damn it! Here." She gave Sero five dollars and I felt kinda hurt by this and I guess for a second it slipped onto my face cause Bakugou just grabbed the plate of food he had warmed up from the microwave and a big slice of cake from the fridge. All the while kiri guided me away from the kitchen and heading to the stairs. I was walking too slow so he picked me up and rushed me up the stairs Bakugou soon catching up.

I walk carried silently and awkwardly Bakugous catching up not long after with Loki. I was sat down on the bed confused and a little anxious. Kirishima sat next to me and slid me onto his lap. I was a bit tense. This mother fucker did this shit right in front of Bakugou. So naturally, I was tense and a bit uncomfortable. But at the time my heart felt like it was gonna pound out of my chest. I didn't know whether to look at Bakugou or Kirishima. I wish I was high. Bakugou approached. So this is how I die. He sat next to me. "You haven't eaten dumbass. So here. And I know you don't like to eat healthily but if you eat this then you can have some cake, ok." Suddenly my attention shifted to the mention of cake and I got excited.

I relaxed as if a big weight was lifted off my shoulders temporarily. I nodded in agreement. I can bear eating some rice if it means I get sweets. But Bakugou gave no signs of giving me the plate. Was he gonna spoon-feed me? Who cares as long as I get some cake after.
