This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

55

Denki bumps into the sturdy body of someone with a oof sound.

Denki could hear flapping of wings and two firm hands being placed on his shoulders to keep him steady which prevented him from falling backward on his head.

Denki blinks open his eyes and looks up to the person who saved him from falling and let's  out an air of gasp it was the third most popular Pro Hero : Hawks!.

Hawks stares at Denki with amusement and pats his shoulder and brings his face up close to Denki's liking, making Denki take a nervous step back as Hawks looks at him up and down.

Finally Hawks asks Denki with a humming sound, "Ohya aren't you a UA student?. What is a good student like you doing in this shady part of the area?. 

Denki makes up an excuse immediately on his feet by saying, "Um I was looking for a stray calico cat, it's this chubby and quite cute.  I feed it food every day here in the nearby area.." Denki trails away from his words and makes a disappointed face by lowering his head so that some of his hair strands would fall on his face giving him an innocent look and he whispers, "I wonder what happened to the poor thing?".

Hawks raised an unamused eyebrow at Denki's reply.

Denki's mind goes 'Shit he did not buy it now he thinks I am a suspicious person'.

Denki is soon broken away by his thoughts, when he feels Hawks hand lightly ruffling his hair.

Hawks tells him in his usual laid back tone, "It's alright little cupcake. I get it but it's not safe to be roaming these streets with the setting sun soon".

Hawks adamantly walks Denki to his apartment building and after being satisfied, when Denki enters his apartment door, only then he flies away from the street from where he had stood keeping an eagle eye on Denki as he twisted the keys of his apartment door.

Denki sighs and goes up to his room and looks out the window to see the number three Pro Hero flying away in the clear night sky.

After some time, Denki pads over to his doorand closes the door and slides down against the door and covers his face with both his hands and says to no one in particular, "Shit shit shit, this was not supposed to happen".

He was not supposed to meet Hawks so earlier. Now Hawk will keep a suspicious eye on him and on top of that he knows where Denki lived.

Denki thinks for a while on what he can do. He felt like this encounter was set up by someone but who? then at last he says, "Fudge it".

He will just go with the flow from now on.

Denki gets up from the floor and wraps his semi burned wrist with cold cream and bandage. And hopes to heavens that it does not leave a scar and goes to bed as he had a study group session to attend with his friends at a local cafe tomorrow.

Despite facing so many strange things in just one day.

Sleep came very easily to the time traveller.

                     The Next Day

Denki jerked awake from his nightmare.

The nightmare, It felt so real and he remembered everything in his dream so vividly.

There was a hooded figure in his dream. It had slashed his neck and he was bleeding profusely and there was blood everywhere.

The dream felt like some kind of foreshadowing to Denki.

Denki shivers just thinking about the morning nightmare as they were bound to come true.

But for some odd reason Denki noticed he was not shivering from the nightmare but his whole room seemed to be freezing cold and temperature seem to have dropped.

Denki's eyes slowly wander around his room and falls on the window. The window panes were open and the curtains were fluttering gently in the cold breeze.

Denki had no recollection of his leaving his window open last night.

With nervousness building up his gut, Denki gets up from his bed and winces when his feet touch the cold hard floor causing a shooting upright pain through his lichenberg scars.

Denki pauses and takes small steps towards the open windows and closes the pane and looks around his room for any sign of anything being touched or moved.

Everything was exactly as he left it.This was very odd. Who could have entered his room yesterday when he had gone to sleep.

Denki feels a set of eyes watching and him.

Denki immediately looked out of his window and his breath hitches, there was no one in sight and the road below his house was quiet with no sign of life anywhere.

The people of Musutafu were still sleeping in their cozy beds while one little boy in his room tried to calm himself  with no one to help him when he was going through a panic attack all alone.
