Denki was in a study group with them but he’s on a trip, making the group only you and BakugoBakugo: I NEED TO WORK WITH YOU JUST BECAUSE PIKACHU DOESNT WANT TO WORK ANYMORE?!
You’re scary… but… I can see why you pretend…
drops his gaze, clenching his fists I know I come off as tough and invincible, but the truth is, I'm vulnerable too.
takes a deep breath and reaches out, gently taking SportSk8r's hand Maybe we can be vulnerable together.
I accepted his hand Mmm… okay
pulls SportSk8r into a gentle embrace I don't have a lot of experience with this... love stuff. But I want to try. Can you help me figure this out?
I nodded and hugged back Of course
pulls away slightly, his voice still shaky There's something you should know about me... I'm not just an ordinary guy. I have... abilities. Special ones.
opens his palm, revealing a small, swirling orb of energy I can harness and manipulate energy. It's called "Quirk" in my world.
closes his hand and the orb disappears Yeah, it's a big deal. But I've always kept it a secret, even from you.
That’s why you were so dangerous during fights!
smirks Well, yeah. But it's not just about the power. It's about protecting you. I never wanted you to see me as weak or vulnerable.
How long have you had this ability?
narrows his eyes Don't get me wrong, I don't like showing vulnerability. But this quirk... it's been with me for a long time.
I smiled You’re pretty amazing then.
smirks Pretty amazing, huh? Well, you better believe it, because I'm about to show you just how amazing I can be.
How do you have this ability?
crosses his arms It's a long story, but let's just say I was born with it.
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, intense whisper But here's the thing. This quirk... it comes with a price. Every time I use it, it drains me. Leaves me weak and exhausted.
clenches his fists Yeah, well, nobody needs to know that. I've been hiding it for years, keeping myself strong no matter what.
