Constant smile - shinso x kaminari

Chapter Eight

!TW! - Psychotic break, gay panic

Smallish time skip
Once they arrived outside of ua Denki spotted the bakusquad and rushed over to them. "Hi guys!" Denki smiled. "Sup denks" "Hi!" "Shut up pikachu". Denki rolls his eyes at the normal Bakugou antics "Does anyone know the dorm setups yet?" "Mmhmm they're on the notice board." "Alright cool I'll be right back." Denki ran over to the notice board and tried to find his name. Denki kaminari and Hitoshi shinso - room 9. Denki's face dropped, 'Why did I have to be roomed with him. He'll be watching me cuz he knows everythi-' A wave of anxiety hit Denki like a truck. 'What if he tells everyone what happened and they won't be friends with me anymore?' Denki started to panic, 'No fuck no why now?'

Hitoshi saw Denki rush out of the car and he began to follow him but Aizawa stopped him. "I put you in the same dorm as Kaminari so I expect you to keep an eye on him, okay?" Hitoshi nodded. "Cya later dad" He climbed out of the car and saw Denki was looking at the notice board. He was nearly there when he saw Denki beginning to shake. He rushed to Denki's side asking if he was okay. Denki began to smile but then realised it was Hitoshi, who could see through his smiles. "I'm f-fine, no need to worry." Hitoshi was still sceptical but let him leave to go back to his friends. Hitoshi turned his attention to the notice board. He saw it just had the dorm set up list on it and began following everyone to the dorms.

When Denki had reached the dorm he'd thankfully calmed down and started unpacking. There wasn't much to unpack so when he was done he laid back on his bed. Out of nowhere, a swarm of violent memories entered Denki's mind. The years of abuse, the longing for someone to care, the need for his mother. Denki's life wasn't great but it had gotten a bit better, on the outside. He was still broken on the inside, no one had noticed for a really long time so some of the damage was unfixable. But now that Hitoshi had seen his old life, he was trying to help. Part of Denki wanted help and wanted someone to care but the other part of him was darker than the back of his closet. A burning sensation flashed on his arms. He screamed silently, scratching at his arms to get it off but all that did was rip off the scabs off his cuts making them bleed again. Denkis demons were screaming in his head, sending him off the edge. He felt like he was losing his grip on reality. His world was shaking and spinning and then it turned black.

Hitoshi strolled around campus enjoying the view. He thought Denki would be okay on his own because he took away his blades, oh boy was he wrong. Once he felt like he knew the dorm campus he went in search of his room. Room 9. He stood in front of it and began to unlock it. 'I wonder if Kami already un-' Hitoshi's eyes widened at the scene he saw. He quickly ran to Denki, feeling for a pulse. Hitoshi breathed a sigh of relief, he was just asleep. He looked at the state Denki's arms were in and cleaned and bandaged them up. Hitoshi was worried for Denki, why was he always in these situations that hurt himself? He laid Denki back on his bed and started unpacking his stuff. He didn't want to leave the boy alone so he called Aizawa to come to his dorm.

Once he arrived Aizawa saw the look on Hitoshi's face and was immediately worried. "What happened?" Hitoshi motioned for them to go outside so they wouldn't wake Denki. "I-i don't know. I found him on the floor with all of his cuts scratched open and blood everywhere." Hitoshi looked up at Aizawa with fear displayed all over his face. "I don't know what's wrong with him, I wanna help but I don't know how." Hitoshi started to break down, mumbling I don't know over and over again. "Hey kid it's going to be okay." Aizawa pulled him in for a hug. "Maybe we could get Kaminari to see a therapist or counselor...you care about him a lot don't ya." Hitoshi nodded. "He'll be alright, you just look out for him and I'll organise some things." Hitoshi tightened the hug. "Thank you dad." They both smiled.

Late that night Hitoshi was staring at the ceiling thinking about how he acted today. 'I don't think I've ever cared for anyone this much to break down crying over them.' He turned his head to see the peaceful yellow haired boy asleep. 'I barely know you but I really want to be your friend. I'll protect you, cute baby ka- wait wait WTF. I..don't like like Kami do I? AND WHEN DID I BEGIN CALLING HIM KAMI? No, no, no I must of meant like adorable cute, because yes he's very adorable and cute and ho...AHHHHH' "Mmm shinso?" He looked down at the pikachu. "Why are you standing next to my bed?" Hitoshi looked at the position he was in and saw he was crouching next to Denki's bed right next to his pillow. Hitoshi slowly backed away, "This is allll a dreammm, go back to slleeep" Denki rolled over and mumbled "Okay." Hitoshi breathed a sigh of relief and laid back on his bed. Overcome with tiredness he drifted off to sleep.

Denki was awoken by an alarm at 6:30. He saw the time and tried to run down to the kitchen or his dad would be angry but he was welcomed by a door not where it was supposed to be. A strange purple figure appeared over his head. "Good morning sunshine." It said with a smirk. Denki finally realised where he was and laughed at himself, he took Hitoshi's hand to help him up. They both looked at each other and started laughing their heads off. They started getting ready for class sparking a small conversation asking what classes they had when Denki remembered something. "I had this really weird dream last night." "Oh yeah?, what was it about?." "You were crouching near my bed next to me and you were saying '"This is all a dream go back to sleep"'." Hitoshi's whole face turned tomato red. "Huh, y-yeah that's a really weird dream *cough cough*." "Wow I've never heard you stutter before." Denki says mischievously, knowing that it wasn't a dream. "Oh haha well old habits die hard..haha." Denki turned around and smirked at him. Hitoshi's face dropped, 'Does Kami know it wasn't a dream?" Denki burst out laughing and Hitoshi turned back into a tomato. "You should see your face!" Hitoshi grabbed his school bag and began to leave. "We're going to be late." He said coldly. Denki laughed harder at this. "Oh come on it was a joke". Hitoshi turned away from Denki, smiling because Denki for once seemed genuinely happy. "I see you smiling!" Hitoshi turned to glare at him but couldn't keep a straight face and started laughing as well.

A/n - thank you guys for 250+ views! I liked this chapter cos it's a little sad and happy. I'm starting to dislike Christmas because the people in my house are shoving it down my throat. Anyway Merry Christmas. Also here are their dorms. The door on the left it the door to the bathroom.  Also also idk if the song fits but its like sad fluff.
