8 Bit Glitch

Part 4~My Intelligence bar is low

Walking down the path, I groaned at the early hour. I might have forgotten to sleep last night- I did plenty of that on Kaminari's shoulder like the totally straight person I was- and I enjoyed playing my game so why not play it all through the night. Who needs sleep anyway?

I decided since I finished my game, to go into school early. Not like I was going there to meet anyone, I just didn't see the point in staying at home.

'Yeah, keep telling yourself that.' I really hate my brain.

Sitting down on the train I brought out my notepad. I flicked through a few pages before finding a clean one. I started to sketch, adding and rubbing outlines to make it perfect. I added notes around it and imagined what I wanted.

I continued doing this once I got to school. Everyone looked at me weirdly. Was it so strange for me to arrive early?!

'To be fair you did crash ten minutes late into the entrance exam.'

Okay, brain! I did not ask for your opinion. Sighing, I redirected my attention to my page. It was almost done, but something was missing. Leaning back, I tapped the pen against my chin. What was missing? What was missing?

"Hey, Dekuri! What are you doing?!" Yelping, I fell back only to be stopped by someone grabbing my wrist.

Kaminari pulled me back towards him so that all four feet of the chair were safely planted on the ground. That was close. Kaminari was still holding my hand, damn his palm was soft. Much better than the callis covered hands that most of my family had. It was more like Aunty Mistuki's hands, but that was impossible as her quirk softened her hands. I didn't even realise that I was stroking his palm until he cleared his throat. Oh fuck, Katsuki is not going to let me forget this one. Since when was I such a gay disaster.

I pulled back my hands, coughing awkwardly. "I apologise."

"N-no, it's fine." Oh no, he's blushing, that made him even cuter! I'm too much of a gay disaster- at least I'm not as bad as Katsuki but still- this is not the time! "So what are you doing?"

"Oh, well, I'm coming up with a video game character." Kaminari spun my book to look at the character. He started to gush about my drawing skill. It wasn't even that good.

The character I designed was meant to be a low levelled sidekick at first, but as you level him up, he got stronger. He was meant to sit on the player's shoulder and change their skill set with the character. The character looked a little like a small fuzzy bear with fur that changed with their abilities and a hat pulled over his ears.

"Awww, he's so cute! He sounds really useful. I don't know anything about games but I do know about real life and if that was a sidekick I'm sure the heroes would be fighting to have him!"

I blushed at his comment and brought back the book, working out what was missing. Kaminari walked around the desk and put his head on my shoulder, peering over to look at what I was doing. Shit, not now brain, stay focused.

I started to write up his personality, making his a happy little bear who was very excitable and a bit dumb- a little like Kaminari. I wonder what it would be like to have a little Kaminari to carry around. Fuck, he would be cute.

I could hear snickering coming from Katsuki who had finally shown up. Sometimes, I hate him so much. "I see you got here early."

"Shut. Up."

Kaminari seemed oblivious to my angry aura as Katsuki laughed harder.

Aizawa came in and reported on our performance. He told me that I needed to stop relying on my Quirk so much which was pretty fair. The last thing he told us before he went for a nap was that we would be choosing a class rep. What a weird thing for us to care about- even Katsuki seemed to care. How boring.
