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

Denki whistled as he walked towards the classroom to grab his hero case and get changed only to be grabbed by his arm all of a sudden and turned around so quickly that it nearly gave him a vertigo. Denki came face to face.

Denki blinks as he stared into the crimson eyes of none other than -Bakugou Katsuki whose eyebrows were furrowed in worry.

Denki eyes go wide at Bakugou's look while Bakugou in his rough tone asks him, "Where the hell have you been Sunshine?. The Class ep was going to call a damn search party when he saw you missing in the cafeteria!".

"AH" was Denki's reply.

Bakugou Katsuki gruff's in anger pinches Denki's cheeks, "Don't 'AH' me Sunshine!. I need a valid  answer not like the early morning excuse you made up in front of sensei".

Denki in his head cursed, 'Ah, your not slow as you look Katsuki. Nothing misses you. Doesn't it. You're always the silent observer'.

Denki tries to push Bakugou Katsuki's hands away from his cheeks and exaggeratedly says, "Ow stop that-".

"Kaminariiii- Kunnnn!".

Denki looks to the side and sees Iida Tenya running at full speed just like a freaking formula one sports car behind Bakugou Katsuki.

'Was his turbo engines freaking sponsored by Ferrari!'.

Bakugou Katsuki as fine burned by fire immediately lets go of his blonde haired friend's cheeks while Iida Tenya stops abruptly in front of Denki. It looked like Tenya did not notice the cheek pinching earlier as his gaze was locked on Denki. Like a hawk.

Denki notices steam emitting from his engine.

'Yeah they were definitely sponsored by Ferrari no question'.

Then, Iida Tenya starts shaking Denki wildly by the shoulders  saying,"Kaminari-kun, do not run off without telling us! You have no idea how you scared us". Lida pants as he said everything without stopping to breathe.

Denki's golden eyes widen at the realisation of Iida Tenya's words.
'They all have not recovered from the Kamino incident'.

Denki looks sideways at Bakugou Katsuki gritting his teeth in anger and clenching his fist tightly.

Denki looks up at Iida Tenya's worry wart face . The height difference made Denki's neck ache. 

Denki puts on a happy go lucky mask and waves his notebook in front of Lida's face playfully.

Iida Tenya noticed Denki expression stops his rambling and stares at Denki in shock. The shock was not his expression but the words. Which were a 10/10 in Lida Tenya's world. That kind of studious discipline was just WOW.

"You completed one week's worth of notes? Asks  a half  bewildered and half impressed Iida Tenya.

"Yeah" Denki replies back with a small smile forming on the corners of his mouth.

On the other hand, Bakugou Katsuki was silently like a sentinel was standing  behind Iida Tenya with his hand behind his back staring with a steely gaze at Denki.

Denki tilts his head to the side and thinks, 'What's gotten into him lately? Is he not feeling well. Since the kamino incident. I can't blame him. As we both were involved in the incident. Hence said it is  natural for anyone to get PTSD'.

And what about Kaminari Denki. PAH. He had so many things to focus on currently that he is unperturbed by everything.

Iida Tenya tells something which Denki unfortunately failed to hear as he was busy pondering and quietly watches Iida Tenya walking down the hallway.

Denki assumes he is headed to the gamma gym to train leaving both Denki and Bakugou Katsuki behind standing outside the huge door of Class 1-A.

As soon as Iida Tenya disappeared from his sight. Denki immediately gives a quick hug to Bakugou Katsuki and pats his back and gives him a big smile before running into the classroom to grab his hero case.

The hug happened too fast  and ended quickly as well which did not give the Katsuki the time to process it all and not say anything to the sunshine boy who was currently inside the classroom.

Katsuki stares at the slightly open door. While gripping his hero costume right above his chest tightly. He grits his teeth in confusion and thinks,
'Why why why! How can you keep smiling like that with whatever you have gone through? Why am I the only one left in this pain...'.

In anger taking over him for a second, Katsuki punches the wall next to the door and mutters while grinding his teeth, "Kuso!"

"Um... Bakugou kun?" Denki nervously calls out Katsuki's name.

Prompting the ash blonde boy to look up and say, "Huh?".

Denki flinches at Bakugou's angry look and says, "Lets go to the gym to practice" and walks past Bakugou.

Katsuki scowls at the happy go nature of the boy as he hurriedly walked past him and clicked his tongue louldly. The sound bouncing off in the quiet hallway of the school.
