....

Denki's excitement ran higher than he thought was possible. The blond turned off his phone and put his jacket on. Because everyone agreed on coming to the party, Denki needed to work more. Instead of only working on the weekends, he decides to add 3 work evenings to his schedule. Denki has been doing this for over a month and although it's stressful he did it for his friends. For the first time in a long time Denki felt proud of himself but also loved. He finally had friends who care about him and don't only care about his quirk. Denki thought of the time that his 'friends' never showed up at any of his birthday parties. Luckily he has new friends who won't ditch him or forget him.

At GameStop

"Hey Aki!" Denki says to the girl he works with. She has velvet red hair just above her shoulders, her uniform is designed with spelds all over the shirt . "Hey Denks'' Aki says to the blonde. A smile forms on the boy's face. He has known Aki for around a year now, they work almost all shifts together. The blonde laid down his tote bag in the backroom and started to fill the shelfs. Nothing really happened that day, which made the time look longer. 10 p.m. was the time when Kaminari could finally check out and go back to the dorms.

Denki said his goodbye to the redhead before he reached the door to leave the shop. Kaminari slowly walked back to the dorm. Since it's technically past the evening clock it should be impossible to come inside the dorms. But Denki found a way to come inside the dorms without having a code or without an alarm going off.

At the back of the school they're some stairs. No alarms go off if you look out. Then there's a bathroom where the blonde has spare Pajamas stored that he will put on. He will always use the same excuse "I needed to go to the restroom". It works, and it has been working for a long time. He has been sneaking in for over a month and no one ever questioned why he always went to the bathroom at the same time. The evening clock is 8 PM, after 8 PM the doors will close and you're not allowed to leave or enter the dorms. You can stay up in the common room of course and we're allowed to go to the bathroom. So sneaking in is not that hard.

Denki walks in UA, sneaking to the restroom to change his clothes to PJ's. The blond hid his tote bag where he hid his pj's to pick up the next morning. Slowly he walks back to the common room as he lets out a fake yawn. There he saw Izuku, Ochako and Iida.

"Hey Kaminari, why are you up so late, it's already 10:30 p.m." The blonde answered Ochako with the same old excuse he uses every time. "I went to the restroom, why are you guys still up?"

"We are watching a movie! wait, I haven't seen you since dinner, did you eat?"

Denki in fact didn't eat at all, he never does after working. Should I answer honestly? was the question Kaminari asked in his head. He shouldn't lie more than he already does, it will be suspicious. "No I almost never eat, it kinda became a habit" The blonde spoke, answering the brunette.

"Oh well I have some leftovers for you let me grab them. It's unhealthy to not eat dinner." Izuku joined the conversation, he stood up as he went to the kitchen. After a minute or 2 the greenette came back with a plate of food. He smiled and gave the meal to Denki. The blonde gratefully took the plate from Izuku.

Uraraka tapped on the seat next to her "You can eat it here" thankful the blonde took the seat next to Ocako and started eating his food. The talking started and the three left some space for Denki to talk about his life. It was a nice feeling, Denki felt involved. Involved in the conversation feeling like they cared about his life. The whole evening Kaminari's face was covered in a big smile. He was happy.

It was past midnight and they all decided to go to bed. They all said their goodbyes. Tomorrow was a school day, but the blonde hasn't done any homework. Sleeping wasn't really important right now. Homework was the high priority at the moment. So he stayed up, longer than expected. Frustration was formed, the letters started to move, and his concentration wasn't anywhere to be found.

Denki suffered from dyslexia and ADHD, it wasn't a bad thing to have. The bad thing was that he didn't tell anyone, not even his teacher. He didn't want to be treated differently from the rest. So he has been hiding it a long time, all year to be exact. 4 AM. 4 AM was the time Denki could finally lay down in his bed. In an instant the blonde fell asleep.

...

An alarm beeps multiple times. a groan was formed, he felt sick. 2 hours of sleep, only 2 hours. The blond stood up, walking to the dorm bathroom, where he met Midoriya. Kaminari gave Izuku a cracked hi, his morning voice cracked. Izuku gave the blond a confused look "Are you okay? you don't look so good"

"Yeah I noticed, I needed to catch up on some homework so I didn't have much sleep" The blonde splashed his face with some water, with the hope to wake up a little more. "stupid dyslexia" Kaminari mumbled to himself forgetting their was a certain greenette next to him.

"You have dyslexia?" Kaminari freezed in his place. He didn't mean to say it out loud, panic formed on his face and Izuku noticed. "Hey, hey it's okay, I won't tell anyone." Denki released a sigh. "Did you tell Aizawa?" The greenette asked

"I.. I.. Well no but that's fine I will be a burden, I don't want to be a burden. Aizawa sensei already has so much on his mind, I don't want to put more weight on his shoulders."

"Denki, he should know. He is our home teacher. It's his job, plus he will never think you're a burden. He cares about you, if you won't say it I will"

"Fine I will tell him, just not today. This week I promise, let's go to class we are gonna be late" Denki rushed out of the bathroom, he didn't want to face the greenette anymore.
