Kaminari's pov

My name is kaminari denki. I an 30 years old, I'm a former UA high student and i live with my two, wonderful boyfriends.
We live in a reasonably sized house next to a large, deep lake.

The lake in question is over 100 meters deep in some places. We do own the lake but it is open to the public with the exception of a small portion in front of the house. Although the lake is one of the most dangerous, filled with all sorts of fish and other water dwelling creatures and surrounded by thick woodland that is easy to get last in, hundreds of people flock here every summer to swim, dive or walk. It can get way too busy. Me eijiro and katsuki hate summer for this reason and this reason only. We don't have anyone to watch the lake so we stay home all summer incase of any emergencies.

At this moment, me and Kat sit on the edge of the small dock i built as Eijiro, who is currently regressed, plays in the water with one of us watching at all times. We have always done this. Let him play in the water with constant supervision. It wasn't a rare occurrence. I never thought much of it. Although something seemed off today. I take my eyes off of the swimming boy for a split second to glance at the male next to who is looking out across the lake at some people who seem to be swimming toward us. "Kiri,baby, time to get out of the water" i hear the ash-blonde say after i look back at the redhead. The boy looks up at me with a pout but swims to the waters edge and wonders onto the dock until he reached where we are sat and plonked himself down next to me, his feet dangling in the water like mine. I continue to look out at the people swimming out of the public area, a place reserved for us and our friends. I grab the whistle I keep in my pocket for emergencies and blow on it twice before standing up and shouting "hey, you guys can't be swimming inside the red rope!" The people seem to have heard me because they look up at us, it's only then I realized that they had diving gear on. Inside the red rope was a blue rope, between those ropes was the deepest part of the lake, blocked off because a diver was killed by lack of oxygen and high water pressure in that area. This was exactly the place those divers where.

As quick as I could, I ripped my shirt off and dived off the edge of the dock, swimming my way to the divers as my partners shouted in protest. I knew the divers must be new to the area as all the other divers know fine well to stay away from the deep for their own safety. Being a strong swimmer, I soon reached the divers. In the nick of time as well.
"You can't be in the area," I tell them sternly while treading water to keep myself on the surface, "it isn't safe for divers, it's only roped off because a diver like you lot died" I hate telling the story, it wasn't just any diver. Hanta Sero. He was our boyfriend...he IS our boyfriend and deservers to be here still but he isn''t because he wanted to make sure everywhere was save for visitors to dive before the lake was opened publicly opened by the government. He died because he cared about the safety of others but some people just don't care to take their safety seriously anymore. It really pisses me off and scares me at the same time. The divers soon say their apologize and leave, letting me go back to my lovers.

As I swim over, I realize that Kirishima is now sat in Bakugous' lap, hugging him tight and hiding his face. He only does that when....when he's crying! When I reach the dock I quickly pull myself up on to the wooden planks to be met by an angry but worried looking Katsuki with a crying Eijiro in his arms. I felt guilty. Felt like this was my fault. It probably is. "I-" "Denki you know fine well that was dangerous. We're not in high school anymore you can't just act like an idiot. You'll get yourself killed." Bakugou says, cutting me off. His voice cracks saying that last sentence. "I know...I know and I'm sorry but I just can't let anything else happen. I mean I was there when H-Hanta....I couldn't just stand on the side lines knowing what would happen..." I reply, looking away from my boyfriends and combing my fingers through my soaking wet hair. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Kirishima with a sad and concerned look on his face. He beats me to speaking by a split about a fraction of a second. "I know it's hard...and I understand that is going to sound so so rude and selfish and maybe even that I don't care about what happened...but you need to...I think we all need to just try to maybe lighten up about what happened...I get it, we're still grieving and it isn't exactly likely we'll ever stop grieving completely, but it's what Han' would want..." He's right. He really is, but now I'm just annoyed at myself for upsetting my boyfriend into slipping out of the headspace he's most comfortable in after weeks of not being able to be in it because of so much piled on stress and sadness. I've gone and done it again.

You know sometimes I really fucking wish it was me diving that day instead of Hanta. We were doing it together but I said it was too cold to get in the water and made him go in. I made him go alone too. None of the things I did that day were in any way going to prevent that situation. Sometimes I feel like Eijiro and Katsuki would have been better off with Hanta instead of me. To be honest that's probably true as well.
