Side Effects 🖤

Concept: Angst. Kaminari and Jirou have been dating for a while. Both are starting to discover the side effects of using their quirks to their full potential. Kaminari is faced with memory loss, and Jirou is starting to lose her hearing

(Kaminari's POV)

"What's your maximum voltage at now?"

"I think...like two million volts?"

The doctor looked a bit concerned.

"I would tone it down if you can. Whenever you use your quirk at its full potential, it takes a toll on your brain. Have you had any experience with memory loss lately?"

"I'm not sure." I say.

The doctor writes something down, "Can you tell me about last weekend? What did you do?"

"I went to the beach with my friends. And the next day, we spent all day cleaning."

"Okay. Can you tell me about your friends?"

"Sure." I was happy thinking about them, "There's Kirishima, Sero, Mina, Bakugo, and my girlfriend Kyouka."

"Girlfriend? Tell me about her."

I didn't really see where this was going, but I'd take any opportunity to talk about how amazing my girlfriend is.

"Kyouka? She's just the best. She has short purple hair and the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. She's super into music, and we even play together sometimes."

The doctor nods, "What was the last thing you played together?"

"It was-"

I started to speak, but my mind hit a roadblock. What was the last thing we played together? I...I can't remember.

I sit there with a blank face. The doctor looks at me, concerned.

"It's alright." He says, "How about her birthday? Do you remember her birthday?"

"It's August...August..." I was blanking again. What's wrong with me? I can't even remember my girlfriend's birthday?

He scribbles something down on a piece of paper.

"I think we should monitor you over the next few weeks." He says, "If this gets worse, it can lead to depression, or even seizures."

He writes down a few dates and times before ripping the piece of paper and handing me the little corner.

"Come back here on these dates so we can check up on you. Don't lose this paper."

On my way home, I couldn't believe it. Am I really losing my memory? Is it gonna get worse?

I laid in bed for a while, thinking about what might happen to me. I tried testing myself. Testing my memory. I could remember bits and pieces, but some things were missing.

Kyouka and I celebrated our anniversary about two months ago. I remember being super happy about the gift she got me, but I can't even remember what it was. I remember going out to dinner, but I don't remember where. I pushed back even further. I can't remember my first impressions of my friends. I can't remember how we started talking.

I stare up at the ceiling, terrified. I'm losing these important memories. What if I eventually lose everything?

My train of thought was interrupted by a knock on my door.

"Y-Yeah?" I call.

"Denks? It's Kyo."

I open the door for her. She must've seen how distraught I looked.
