Lightning Skateway: A ShinDenki AU Story

Skateway Invitation

                                                               Denki's POV

          I woke up to a horrible Friday morning. Today, most people are excited because it is the last day of school until Monday comes around, but for me it sucks because it still means that there is school TODAY. My grades have never been too great, always hovering between a C- and a B+ in every subject, so school isn't exactly my fort'e.

          As I slipped out from under my black and yellow striped sheets and comforter, I shivered in the late winter, morning air. I crossed my fairly clean room over to my wardrobe and found a black long-sleeve and a white T-shirt with a lightning bolt in the middle, then rummaged around in my drawers for underwear and a pair of faded blue skinny jeans with small shredded tears at both the knees. To top off the outfit I added white sneakers to "balance it all out" as my best friend Eijirou tells me, like I have a clue to what that means.

                                                                 *Timeskip To Arriving To Class*

          As I slid into my seat in the very last row to the far right in the back of the class, I looked around to see if Eijirou or his boyfriend were around since this is the one class I share with either of them. English class was always my favorite because my friend sits right in front of me and we usually just joke around half of the time until we get caught by the teacher or he becomes all smart and decides he wants to actually get good grades in this class. Spotting me as he entered the classroom hand in hand with Katsuki he let go of his boyfriend and rushed over to my desk looking at me all crazy and wild unlike how he usually looks at 7:30 in the morning.

  "Katsuki is going back to that skate park he always goes to, tonight and you're coming with us!" He declared giving me a toothy smile, like the idea was his best one yet.

  "Ummm, yeah sorry Eijirou, but I don't think I can make it. Got lots of gaming and lazing around to do." I told him. Ever since I was young, I havn't been one to interact with too many people, and I really like being with my two best friends, and to be honest, my only friends, but going to the skate park was like walking up to every popular and/or cool person ever and saying 'hi! you don't know me and I'm pretty sure your social status would never except it, but how about you and I become buddies?' with a dunce cap on.

  "Nope. You're coming with us whether you like it or not, and that's final. It's time for you to 'man up'." Eijirou can be a real pain in the ass sometimes because once he gets an idea, he usually never lets that idea go until it has been fulfilled. He's like a stubborn mule that way which can be really frustrating for a mostly introverted person like me.

  "Fine. when are you guys gonna head over?" I asked after being way too easily won over.

  "Bakubabe and I will head over to your apartment building to pick you up at around 8pm tonight in his truck and we'll just go straight there. K?"

  "Sure" I replied and leaned back in my chair getting settled in for another boring English class knowing that Eijirou was so pumped for tonight that he was sure to be doing his classwork the whole time. Ugh. Why can't I have a more stupid friend to ask the teacher dumb questions with?
