'Not Dumb'





















«••»

Denki never saw himself as dumb, more like he's smart at most subjects and he acts like a regular teenager but lately he has just not been trying to act average, if he were to try and remember when it started...

61% man I really fucked up this test. " oh look their goes Denki again, did you start failing already?" Last year around this time my grades had slipped in Math." Yeah Kamibro, don't start slacking already" I have never not tried it's just I have a lot going on in my mind " Extras leave Pikachu alone, Pinky you got a lower grade than him, focus on that"  thank God for Bakugo " please Bakugo,! I am trying to Shed some light on my situation here, plus it's normal he's a Dumb blonde"

After that Bakugo chased Mina all around the classroom until Aizawa came and stopped it, Bakugo said he did it because it was insulting to him as well, but the words 'dumb blonde' really stuck with Denki and it hurt. His scores got much better but they kept referring to him as dumb And his efforts to remove the nickname went in vein. So what's the point in trying?







Change. Change is the point of trying, Denki wants to be treated normally again so he'll just have to try if He doesn't he'll never now what would've happened if he did, and if he fell seven times he'd stand up eight. And Bakugo knows Denki isn't dumb, all the time the Bakusquad  has a group study session, and usually Denki's not there because he don't need it.
Through this whole ordeal Bakugou has been Denki's life support, he's always there for him when he needs it and every time someone says he's Dumb he backs me up, he is Denki's best friend. Even if he won't admit it.

"Yo Denks later do you want to go watch a movie" Sero And Denki where ending a phone call " sorry bro we have that test tomorrow, I need to study" Denki said. it went silent for a for a solid second then he heard laughing
" yeah right bro, what's the real reason?" Sero thought he was lying. Denki hung up. Tomorrow he would just tell Sero his phone died. Then Denki made my way to Bakugo's room, they had set it up that they could study together

"Took you long enough Pikachu now sit down" Study sessions with Bakugou where a bit harsh he would point out every mistake you make. And that's why he's a great tutor he won't give it to you soft and sweet, he'll yell multiple times when you make a mistake it helps you memorize it, sorta
" I was like, a minute late" Kaminari giggled
" yeah 60 seconds to many, now sit your ass down". Denki liked it when him and Bakugo studied together they did it almost every time they had a test. Bakugo helped Denki with math and Kaminari helped Bakugo with English. They both usually got good grades, neither of them  got below an 80% on a test which is really good.
Besides studying there was something Denki wanted to ask Bakugo. He was known for being the smart one of the group if not the whole class, and people respected him maybe not in the way Kaminari want to be respected but still He need to know what to do so people didn't at least see him as dumb

We were almost done and I needed to ask him.
"Hey Bakubro, ummm, weird question but how did you get people to know you're smart?"
...
it was silent. Did I do something wrong? " I didn't do anything" Bakugo replied. " and Kaminari, The only reason they think of you like that is because you let them."
Let them? I guess I really have never thought about it like that. I never told them to stop, or that I didn't like it. But even so, I still wouldn't have told them I don't want them to feel bad about it or stop using my nicknames.

"Don't worry so much about other people Pikachu, you should be more focused on yourself" I truly think people are over exaggerating when they say Bakugo is the devil because to me he's one of the best people I know  " thanks Bakubro "  I said as I  left his dorm. Bakugo gives me a weird feeling when I'm with him, not in a bad way but I just feel safe when I'm with him. I don't know if I'm supposed to be like that with my best friend but I am.
It was like 12:00 AM, when I left and  I have to get up at 6:00 AM, so might as well get all the sleep I can.

Beep- Beep- Beep- "ughhh" I groaned as I woke up turning off my alarm. I feel like shit. This is going to be a long day

«••»

By the time first period started I felt a bit better, not like knowing that we have a test next period was helping. I was walking with Kirishima to class he was the only one still at the dorms, he waited for me how sweet! The rest of the Bakusquad where swarming Bakugo's desk, we went over, said 'hi', and talked for a bit before Aizawa came in and we sat down

«••»

What? No. Time was just not by my side, I was watching the clock ticking. I wanted so desperately for it to slow down! I was dreading going to take the math test.
In the math classroom I felt like I was going to pass out. Ectoplasm was at his desk giving out the papers, as I sat at my desk all the Bakusquad, except Bakugo, wished me good luck!

Because they think your not smart enough to pass

What?... where did that voice come from? I know it wasn't anyone in the room talking to me. Maybe it was a villain... or maybe I need more sleep.

•••

I feel kind of scared when I say that the test was easier than I thought. Bakugo and I had studied basically everything I needed for the test, he was a lifesaver.

"Denki what did you get on the test?" Mina asked "90%!" I asked Exclaimed excitedly
"... Stop lying" "What?"
"Stop FUCKING lying!" Mina yelled at me "Your too Dumb to get a high score! What did you really get?!"
"I'm Not Dumb!"

«••»

I woke up in a cold sweat a dream it was all a dream. My heart was racing like crazy and my breathing was uneven. I looked at the time 5:58 AM, Close enough. I started to get ready

•••

"Denki what did you get on the test?" Mina asked. It was like deja vu, should I tell her? What if the same thing that happens in my dream happens now? I look down at my paper
'97%'
"I got 69%"
I lied. This started the loop only dragging me deeper into my "Characteristic" of being 'Dumb' that I unknowingly put upon myself...
