finding happiness (shinsou X Denki)

chapter 4

Shinsou frowned and pet Denki's hair gently. 

"okay. ill wait then," Shinsou says and rubbed his thumb over Denki's cheek gently. "let's get you to recovery girl, okay?" Denki nodded.

"fine but won't Aizawa stop us? it's after curfew..." Denki told him. Shinsou sighs.

"Denki, you have bruises the size of the bowls on your ribs and abdomen that are the color of my hair. he won't stop us from getting you help," he said, "plus he's my dad." 

Denki sighed in defeat his only hope of escaping gone all too easy. why does Shinsou have such valid points! he thought. 

Shinsou wrapped an arm around Denki's shoulders. he really hoped that they'ed run into his dad that way he'd have evidence that Denki needed to be staying with them. 

Denki and Shinsou were walking down the stairs. each step was painful but Denki refused to admit it.

Shinsou kept a steady hand round Denki's shoulders supporting him all the way down the stairs. he knew it had to hurt so he tried to go slow. god, he wanted to kill denkis mother.

Denki and Shinsou got halfway to the door before Aizawa stoped them. Damn. 

Shinsou looked at his father with worry in his eyes and he rubbed Denki' shoulder gently 

"I'm taking Denki to recovery girl," shinsou told Aizawa

Aizawa raised an eyebrow and look at both boys. odd...Denki was fine earlier...

"what happened?" Aizawa asked hoping that Menita did something so he could have the little creep suspended...or even better...expelled.

shinsou looked at Denki in concerned and gently lifted up the other boy's shirt to show his dad the damage. he chooses not to say the Denki's mother had done it, around Denki.

Aizawa felt like he couldn't breathe. it would take a lot of force to produce bruising like that and Denki hasn't been involved in any fights today or this week. 

"go get him to recovery girl," Aizawa said. shinsou looked back at his dad with concern in his eyes showing him that he needed to talk later and wrapped the blanket back around Denki before making their way to recover girl.

Aizawa was immediately concerned so he texted Mic.

Shinsou knocked on the door to the recovery girl's office and held Denki close. He was hoping that all of Denki's injuries were just external

Denki had subconsciously grabbed shinsou hands. 

Recovery Girl opened the door with tired eyes.

"what do you want? I don't treat colds," she said crossing her arms. 

"Please. it's important. just let us inside and I'll show you." shinsou pleaded. she sighed and nodded, allowing them inside. shinsou guided  Denki to bed and gently lifted his shirt to show Recovery Girl. 

Denki had tears running down his face as he struggled not to start sobbing. Recovery Girl's eyes widened.

"oh my goodness! what happened?!" she asked concerned and grabs some supplies to check Denki's vitals. Shinsou looks Denki wondering if he'll tell her.

"um...me and my friend  were messing around and it ended with me falling down the stairs." Denki smiled at her like that was what really happened.
