------------

Kaminari hugged his knees to his chest.

Stupid.

He shook his head and closed his eyes tight, trying to block out the voices that played over and over in his head.

Stupid, dumb, idiot. 

He chewed on his bottom lip and turned off his phone, burying his head in his knees. The voices were beginning to sound familiar.

Haha, you're such a moron, Denki.

Pfft, that joke was so stupid, Kaminari.

You're an idiot, can't you tell I was joking?

That's such a dumb idea, can't you come up with anything better?

Is this a side effect of your quirk, or have you always been this brainless?

Kaminari tugged at his hair and hid under his blanket. The thoughts were becoming too loud. The lights in his room were too loud. His breathing was too loud. Everything was just so- so loud.

He shut his eyes as tight as he could to block out any light, trying hard not to make any noise or disturb anyone in the dorms. he covered his ears with his hands but nothing worked, He just wanted everything in the world to shut up.

Shinsou looked around the dorm building, searching for Denki, who'd promised to help him with something the day before. He looked in the kitchen, the common room, and even the training areas. It was unusual to find him there, but it'd happened a couple of times. He finally checked Denki's room, spotting the electric boy covering himself with his blanket. Shinsou turned the lights off and closed the door, he could tell that Denki was overwhelmed.

"Denki?" Shinsou whispered, receiving a small whine from Denki. He sat next to Denki, who didn't move for a while.

Once he did, he peeked from his blanket and looked at Shinsou, before looking down. Shinsou looked at him once he heard the ruffle of the blanket. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, receiving a head shake. "Do you want a hug?" He asked, opening his arms and turning to face Denki, who nodded and basically climbed into the other's lap, resting his head on his chest. 

And they just sat there. Shinsou wrapped his arms around Denki, and Denki sat curled up in Shinsou's lap, neither saying a word. After a while, Denki was the first to speak. "Hitoshi? Am I dumb..?" He mumbled, gripping his blanket slightly as he spoke, awaiting an answer.

"What? No, Kaminari. You're not dumb; you're incredibly smart. Who's been telling you you're dumb?" Shinsou asked. 

Denki relaxed at that answer, but was hesitant to answer at first. "Everyone's been saying it to me since I was a kid. It's almost always been a joke, so I try not to take it seriously, but it really takes a toll on you, you know..?"

Shinsou shook his head and ran a hand through Denki's hair. "Joking or not, it hurts, doesn't it?" He said and Denki nodded. "I promise, you're not stupid, no matter what anyone says about you."

Denki nodded a little and hummed. "You really think that about me?"

Shinsou nodded back. "Of course. But don't tell anyone else I sat in here and let you hug me for ten minutes. That stays between us." He said, looking to the side and blushing a little.

"Of course, I wouldn't dream of it." Denki chuckled a little, looking up at the purple haired insomniac.
