No Lighting Bolt Strikes The Same. (ADHD and Autistic Denki)

Another Detention.

Aizawa: "Denki Kaminari!" Aizawa shouted at him snapping Denki back to his thoughts. "I've been calling your name the last five minutes. What's the answer to the first question."

The classes snickered as Denki stuttered.

Denki: "I-I-....I don't know Sensei...."

Aizawa: "Denki you need to pay more attention. Detention after school, come to my office instead though." Aizawa turned to Midoriya who answered the question and went back to teaching.

The class whispered a few things about Denki and not paying attention. He decided to ignore it and focus on writing down the notes....As if it was that easy. Denki's brain began to wander through thoughts. It was at this moment Denki realised, He hadn't taken his ADHD and autism medication today.

Damn it!

He knew things felt to chaotic...

No!

He had training today and he could feel his skin crawling. One thing he dealt with, with his autism, was his senses, mainly his touch. Great, now he had to survive that unbearable horribleness during training on top of everything else.

His thoughts began to drift somewhere else... His ADHD was like a fast train. Only ever stopping for a few seconds before moving on. Once Denki boarded that train he was stuck on zoning out as his thoughts raced a million miles per hour.

Denki wasn't sure how long he zoned out for riding his fast paced train of thoughts but he heard the bell and snapped back to reality. He looked at the board and realised he zoned out for ages.... They'd been looking at how hero licences came to be when he zoned out near the beginning of the lesson now they'd gotten to hero agencies? How?!

He hurriedly closed his almost empty notebook. All he'd written down was the date, the title and one single bullet point.

Denki: "Fuck!" Denki screamed in his head. Why couldn't he just be normal?

He walked got from his seat and walked out the classroom.

Aizawa: "Don't forget your detention" Aizawa called out.

Denki nodded and began to walk to one of the best lessons. English with Present Mic! He loved that lesson. Getting to listen to different stories. He rushed past everyone. He was always first to that lesson and he wasn't giving up his streak now.

Mic: "Hey little listener!" Mic was sitting at his desk in front of him was a pile of books for today's lesson.

Denki: "Morning Mic-Sensei!" Despite Mic not acutally being Present Mic last name, (it's Hizashi Yamada) Denki found it was easier to call him Mic-Sensei.

He sat down at his desk and opened his notebook, he was going to concentrate! He was!

They were handed a book to start to read and answer questions on. Of course Denki zoned out. He couldn't help it. When he didn't take his meds it was difficult!

The bell rang.

Already?!

Denki packed his things, he had an empty sheet which his put in Mic's desk under everyone else's before rushing out the room to lunch.

Bakugo: "Oi! Dunce Face! Where were you rushing off to without us?" Bakugo grabbed Denki by his collar and tugged him back to the squad.

Denki: "S-sorry...got distracted..." This wasn't helping. The feeling of his shirt all ruffled and Bakugo's callous hand. No. No. No.

Denki tugged away from Bakugo and rushed into the bathrooms locking himself in a cubicle. This was all too much. He broke down. The sounds were loud. The fabric of his clothes was uncomfortable. It was all too much!

He wasn't sure how long he sat in the cubicle but it must have been a while. Quickly wiping his tear stained face Denki headed to lunch. He heard Mina call him to say she saved him a seat, but he couldn't face the squad... They couldn't learn that Denki was autistic and had ADHD.... They wouldn't want to be his friend... They'd tell him he couldn't be a hero... They- They...

Denki rushed out and to the rooftop. He couldn't break down again... That was weak. After a few deep breaths Denki calmed himself slightly.

Pulling in his headphones, Denki settled onto the roof and ate his small lunch.

The bell rang and Denki slowly got up and made his way to the changing room.
