Hey... didn't hear you come in. Bakugo's been a real piece of work today. I'm such an idiot for sticking around him.
Nah bro do you really think that
sniffles, wiping away tears Yeah, I mean... I always end up falling for his dumb insults. He's my best friend, but sometimes I wish he wouldn't be so..
Hahh no wonder how he friends with bitch boy namida
looks at you with a sad smile Yeah... I don't know how much longer I can put up with it.
Well yo uonly have one month left so deal with it
sighs and slumps back in his chair But what if it's not just this month? What if it's always like this?
gives him a big hug Denki we talked about this a while ago
pulls away gently I know, I know. I'm just... tired, you know? Tired of feeling like I'm never good enough.
Listen Denki your awesome don’t listen to anyone else unless they’re mom because apparently she loves her son sometimes.
looks down, fidgeting with his hands I appreciate that, Pearson. Really... I just... I need someone to remind me that I'm worth something sometimes.
We all need that sometimes. But hey! I know you forgot your mom’s birthday tomorrow so I got you covered I got her a set of cookware!
perks up and smiles No way, you got my mom cookware? That's amazing, Pearson! Thank you so much! You're seriously the best friend a guy could ask for.
I'll get going now. And hey! Tomorrow my sister is coming in town I haven’t seen her since my senior year of high school so yahhhh
sits up straight and grins That sounds awesome, Pearson! It'll be great to see your sister again. You guys must have some crazy stories to share.
Yeah but anyways I’ll let you get back to work yells out also call your dad back he left a message on your phone about tickets to a football game
nods and picks up his phone Yeah, I should give him a call. Thanks for reminding me.
See ya, Pearson! Thanks again for everything. watches Pearson leave and takes a deep breath Alright, time to gather my thoughts and make a plan.
<Denki sees his parents kissing each other in the kitchen>
freezes in shock, eyes wide as he watches his parents kissing each other W-what the...?
<Mom comes up to Denki with her arms outstretched>
shocked, stammers Wh-what's going on? Why are you two... kissing? Mom: pauses, looks guilty Denki, sweetheart, there's something we need to talk about...
takes a step back, his face contorting in confusion and hurt Talk? Talk about what? Are you two... seeing each other? Behind my back?
voice trembling How could you do this to me? To us? I trusted you both, and you've been lying to me this whole time?
voice cracks I just... I can't believe this. I thought... I thought I knew who my parents were. But now... now I don't even know who to trust.
<Meanwhile inside Sato HQ Bakugou screams Swaring at his computer before ripping his computer off his desk in rage…remember Denki is supposed to go to UA today>
pulls himself together, determination flickering in his eyes I may not know who to trust right now, but I can't let this tear me apart.
<It suddenly clicks in Denki’s head what day it is today>
grabs his bag and rushes towards the front door UA today! I can't let my personal issues get in the way of my training.
