Electro-Punk Love, a Kamijirou story

Chapter 20: Just a little push.

It's 7:32 p.m. Kaminari Denki has been discharged. Thanks to Recovery Girl's quirk, all his wounds had been closed and healed completely. His mom offers to take him to U.A. He's tired but eager to return and let everyone know he is okay. Especially a certain someone who has been feeling down these past few days.

[8:01 p.m. U.A. parking lot]

Kaminari gets out of his mother's car, only to be met by his teacher, Mr. Aizawa, who is waiting for him to arrive. The tired-looking pro hero greets Inazuma Kaminari.

Aizawa: Thanks for bringing him here Ms. Inazuma, I deeply apologize for the trouble we caused you.- Aizawa Sensei said.

Inazuma: Don't worry Eraser. He's a hero, it was about time he learned the risks of our jobs.- Kaminari's mom replied. She better than no one knew what her son was dealing with when he decided to be a hero.

Kaminari: Thanks Mom, tell me when you get home.

Inazuma: Bye sweetie. And remember, listen to your teachers and don't do anything stupid again, or I'll kick your ass.- She said with a smile, a terrifying one.

Kaminari: O-Ok...bye Mom.- He waved a little uneased.

Aizawa: Let's go Kaminari, your classmates are worried about you.- His teacher said already walking back to the dorms.

Kaminari: Coming Sensei.- He chased after him.

The two of them arrived at the dorm's entrance, only to be received by the whole class. All of them were impatient to receive their partner after such a scary situation.

Kirishima: Kaminari!!! Bro, are you okay? How are you feeling?

Mina: Kaminari honey, we've been so worried about you. Do you have any idea what you put us through?- Pinky said grabbing him by his shoulders and shaking him.

Midoriya: Are you feeling good Kaminari? Do you need something?

Ochako: Yeah, don't be afraid of asking for something, we are here for you.- His whole class was very attentive and seemed to care for him. That made Kaminari's heart grow a little.

Kaminari: Thanks guys, seriously. It means a lot, but I'm fine now, no need to worry about me.- He blushed a little. It felt good to be loved by some many people, not for nothing he considered them his family.

But something was off. Out of everyone, someone was missing. The whole class was downstairs to receive Kaminari, all but one person. And he knew exactly who was missing from the beginning. But before he could ask someone where was she, two people took the initiative to tell him.

Kirishima: Bro...- He had a serious expression on his face.

Yaoyorozu: Kaminari...-She too.

Kaminari: Where is she?...

Yaoyorozu: I think you need to go see her.

Kaminari: What happened?- He started to feel worried about Jirou.

Yaoyorozu: Ever since the incident, she hasn't been the same. She has been blaming herself for what happened to you.

Kirishima: We think you might be the only one who could make her feel better and stop blaming herself.

Kaminari: Leave it to me.- He said, determined to help Kyoka regain her smile and happiness.

Denki went upstairs, the whole trip to Kyoka's room was eternal, every meter he traveled felt like miles and miles. He felt like the hallways of the dorms stretched every step he made. He arrived at Jirou's door, a cold sensation could be felt around her door, as if her negativity were directly affecting her surroundings. But there was no time for feeling sorry for her. Kaminari needed to act, only he was capable of making her feel warm and safe again. Denki's hands were shaking, he was nervous for no reason. It felt like it had been ages since he last saw her, even though it was just a couple of days (and even more taking into account the fact he was asleep most of the time).
