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

90

Izuku was feeling frustrated he did not like Kota's views moving towards the darker path and his hatred towards the Pro Heroes.

Izuku sighs he wanted to change the little Kid's view before he falls into the wrong side of the path. He did not want the boy to grow up with villainous thoughts of hatred and revenge.

Izuku is startled from his thoughts when he hears someone speak behind him softly, "To accept the reality is always hard. It takes time to accept it fully. I wonder when I will accept that myself".

Izuku stops in his tracks and turns his head to the side fully knowing whose voice it was.

Kaminari Denki stood there leaning against the tree trunk with a faraway look in his eyes with a hint of sadness in those honey coloured golden eyes.

It was a bright night as it was the full moon tonight making it easier for Izuku to spot Kaminari's slender silhouette leaning against the tree.

The electric quirk user had on a green tee shirt and blue shorts and red sneakers. The only thing that was exposed to Izuku's eyes were the Lichtenberg scars and the bandage wrapped around his delicate neck.

Izuku swallows the salvia down his dry throat. It felt so awkward standing there like a fool and staring at his friend with unknown feelings in his chest.

But Denki starts walking past Izuku and whispers, "Everything will eventually work out whatever you are thinking in that big brain of yours".

Izuku gasped at Kaminari's words on how he figured out what he was thinking?.

But snaps out of his daze when he sees the boy leaving him behind and runs behind him to match his walking pace with him.

Izuku from the corner of his eye peeks at Denki and frowns he has that sad look on his face again.

Izuku wanted to ask Kaminari what was wrong but he did not know how to ask the boy such a sensitive topic as he was aware of Aizawa sensei warning them before the start of the trip. On not to question him regarding his scars or any  sensitive topics so as to not trigger him as he was under heavy medication but keep an eye out for him.

But Izuku did not know that the situation would be this much worse than expected.

Then, Izuku sights as he notices Iida Tenya ahead of them doing his robotic hand movement beckoning them to hurry up and have the curry as it would be over soon and the test of courage would start soon as well.

On the other hand, Denki felt as if someone had filled his head with cotton balls. He was literally moving on auto pilot mode.

He did not even touch the hot piping steaming curry placed in front of him.

He was drowning in unpleasant thoughts. When he felt a gentle tapping on his hand from Torodoki Shoto who sat opposite of him.

The boy had a worried look and a frown on his face. Denki blinked his tired eyes at him. Torodoki Shoto with caution in his words asks, "Are you not going to eat?". 

Denki's stomach retches at the sight of the curry and he pushes the dish away.

Torodoki narrows his eyes and says in a calm tone, "You should eat at least a little Kaminari-kun".

It seems Iida Tenya heard what Torodoki said and moves towards the table and moves his hands in a robotic manner and says, "Kaminari-kun you need some food in your system to function".

Denki raises his eyebrow and in a teasing manner says, "Well if you want to see me barf rainbow content out of my stomach then fine. I will eat it".

Iida Tenya realises the mistake he made finally raising his concern and tries to correct himself of his mistake but he had raised his voice slightly while over explaining himself and everywhere present there heard it,

"Oh Kaminari-kun if you don't feel well I no-".

Iida Tenya bites his tongue in frustration while Pixie-Bob moves towards them to see what was going on at their table.

Denki starts giggling at the sight of Iida biting his tongue but stops when he feels chills running down his spine and then he hears Bakugou speaking in a cheery voice, "Kaminari-chan turn around~".

Denki stiffens at the sound of the cherry voice of Bakugou. That tone felt so out of place. Denki slowly turns his head in fear while on the other hand he could hear Torodoki Shoto grit his teeth and say, "Don't Bakugou!" .

While Midoriya too screeches,

"Kacchan don't!".

Denki opens his mouth to ask but only to feel something cold being spoon fed into his mouth.

Denki blinks away the tears stinging in his eyes at the sharp sensation that his throat is sending to his brain and then he swallows.

'Uh Vanilla icecream?'.

Bakugou huffs and places a bowl of the vanilla ice cream in front of Denki as he glares at Torodoki Shoto and shouts at him, "Icy hot you should be damn aware that if he has this spicy curry it will only aggravate his injured throat".

Torodoki Shoto's eyes go wide at the mistake and he immediately looks at Denki worriedly and says, "I am sorry Kaminari I wasn't aware that I was hurting you!". Torodoki's face droops at the thought of hurting his precious friend.

Iida Tenya bowed his head apologetically, "I am so sorry!" continues the embarrassed class president class.

Denki waves his hands airily and says, "Nah I am fine". 

Denki proceeds to eat the mouthful of the vanilla ice cream and feels the coldness soothing the pain away and hums in happiness.

Torodoki and Bakugou share a knowing look at each other and smile at Denki's cheerful and cute look.

Torodoki Shoto moves his hand across the table and ruffles Denki's hair slightly.

At the affection displayed in front of him. Bakugou turns his head away from the sight and clenches his fist and walks away from there.

Meanwhile Pixie-bob gushes at the cuteness displayed in front of her and looks at Iida Tenya who goes stiff at the wild look in her eyes while she says with buzzing excitement was Kaminari Denki always this cute?. Ah she needs to make dibs on him as well.

Hearing this the whole class 1-A sweatdrops and class 1-B boys huff in jealousy and standing at some distance near the camp building, Aizawa Shouta facepalms his forehead and while Vlad King looks at the situation developing in front of him with keen interest.
