Denki arrived back at the dorms about 30 minutes later. He rushed up to his room without paying any notice to those seated in the common room, and slammed the door shut, crashing onto his bed.
He was sprawled out, laying on his back, staring up at the ceiling.
They were just joking .
He was trying to convince himself it wasn't that big of a deal.
Come on Denki, don't be a baby, you can take a joke .
It was a big deal though. He knew it was. It wasn't his fault he was this way, and he had said it bothered him in times prior
But does that really count?
Denki was beginning to lose control
Just take the joke. You're the 'always happy' guy, you can't be down, I mean, who cares about a few jokes anyways, right? It doesn't matter, right?
Right?
No, no, this is stupid, you should voice your concerns, that's what you're supposed to do right? Isn't that what you said I should do? "Be vocal!" You always said. But now I'm too vocal. I'm just annoying.
Denki eventually tired himself out with his rampaging thoughts, drifting into a light, dreamless sleep.
When he awoke, he just felt worse
No, what I feel matters too, right Dad? If it bothers me, I should say something .
He was finally thinking straight again.
Yeah, I'll just text them all, and be like "Oh by the way can you guys not joke so much about my grades and other stuff?" Yeah. That will work!
THE GROUP CHAT
Denki: Hey guys, can I ask you all something?
Kirishima: Yeah, ofc Kamibro!
Bakugo: SPIT IT OUT
Mina: Sure!
Sero: What is it?
Denki: Could you maybe not make as many jokes about my grades? With my quirk and all my brain is a little messed up from when I couldn't control it, so it just bothers me a bit. And also sorry if im too loud or annoying, I really don't mean to be
Mina: You know we're just joking right?
Denki: Yeah, ig
Sero: Yeah, as long as you know we're joking it's fine.
Bakugo: JUST TAKE A JOKE PIKACHU
Denki: Yeah, sorry, i shouldn't be so sensitive, mb
Kirishima: It's alright man! And, yeah you are a little loud lol
Mina: LMAO Yeah you are kinda annoying sometimes
Sero: It's alright though, what would we do if we did have you to charge our phones??
Denki: Yeah! Glad I can be of use!
Denki set down his phone and sighed.
Dammit! I knew I shouldn't have said anything.
He rolled onto his side and pulled up his knees.
It's fine, It's not like you have other friends, just be happy you have some people who can tolerate you.
Denki felt his eyes well up with moisture.
Shit! It's getting to me. Just suck it up.
He reached behind him and grabbed his blanket, then curled up in it. His tears were following constantly now, and didn't seem to let up. He finally accepted them and closed his eyes, letting them form a pool on his pillow, until he fell into a deep sleep. The only place he could escape from everything that bothered him. It was the only time he could be truly happy. The bubbly, energetic friend, that's what he was.
Why doesn't anyone get that he had insecurities too? Why doesn't anyone understand him?
