#chargebolt-voltage

[rosyredlipstick]

a few weeks ago I begged @chargebolt-voltage to read Check! Please and they, amazingly, agreed and since then we’ve been screaming about it in our messages (with a heavy addition of all for the game content ofc) anyways i promised them a fic rec list so here we are

FICS UNDER THE CUT

at least it was here - @tallykale

Summary:

Eric Bittle never really envisioned himself ending up at Greendale Community College. (Most people at Greendale never envisioned themselves ending up there, for that matter.) But he’s here now, so he may as well make the best of a bad hand. He’s got a fresh life in Colorado, he’s probably going to pass French this year, and he never has to think about hockey or home again if he doesn’t want to. What really comes out of left field is the study group. (Community crossover/AU where life takes the scenic route and everyone meets at Greendale instead of Samwell. As per Greendale tradition, shenanigans ensue. Runs parallel to season 2 of Community, if you pretend that's set in 2015 and not 2010.)

-

This is seriously one of my favorite CP fics I’ve ever read! The characterization is amazing, and I seriously adore how the relationships slowly build (and so realistically too!) I had never watched Community when I read this fic but this convinced to bingewatch three seasons in a week and half just so I could reread and catch all the references. Amazing!

Summary:

"Dude, we've got an over-competitive golf dad, a badass art freak, a pre-med lax bro on the verge of a breakdown, a chronically naked rugby player, a beat-boxing giant, and an itty-bitty, baking figure skater - there's no way we came together accidentally. This was fate."

"Or it's the normal progression of human beings making friends. Chill out, bro."

(Or, the one where no one plays hockey, but it still manages to bring them all together.)

-

THIS IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED FIC THAT IM OBSESSED WITH! The bonding!!! They all come together so well??? I seriously love all the friendship here, and the development of relationships here is GREAT. Wow!!!

Summary:

"Dude," said Holster, his eyes huge, "that's so sad. We gotta get them together."

"This isn't a romcom, Holtzy, " Ransom said, patting his arm. "I'm sure that's not what Shitty had in mind."

"Actually," said Shitty, "that's exactly what I had in mind. And I've got a plan."

jack zimmermann is a straight shooter - heyfightme // @heyfightme

Summary:

Bitty pats his shoulder consolingly with a distracted, “There, there.”

“I should’ve done a conference like PR suggested,” Jack mumbles, trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice. “It got overshadowed by the game.”

“Oh, boo hoo, my four goals made people think I was good at hockey and distracted them from how gay I am.”

“It was against the Flyers though.” More mumbling.

Bitty makes a noise like pshaw, and says with long vowels, “Quietly confident, sure mister.”

jack tries his hardest to come out in a way that is noticeable but not over the top. he is, it turns out, much too subtle.

-

This is SUCH QUALITY CHARACTER! God, this entire fic had me crackling into a pillow. Great humor!!

Derek grins. “It’s chill,” he replies, scratching the back of his neck. “Why worry? I know you got my back.”

[jewishgarygreen]

consider: jewish gary green spending hanukkah with constantine and even though john already knows the story of hanukkah, gary gets really excited telling it so he shuts up and listens because his boyfriend is cute when hes excited

YES! i mean retelling is a big part of pretty much all of our holidays, so this is perfect. and john may know the story, but he probably wouldn’t know it from a jewish perspective, just a goyishe one, and so there’s a lot more that he wouldn’t know, or just a different take on it, so he learns a lot, too. 

and also gary IS adorable when he’s excited, and john loves that

MARIGOLD’S LOVER — D. KAMINARI

synopsis: get a load of this train-wreck, his hair’s a mess and he doesn’t know who he is yet.

note: this is reposted from my old account; it's deactivated now, but i really liked this fic so i wanted to post it again :) (please don't ask me about my old account or alias)

word count: 1.5k

warnings/genre: hurt/comfort, mutual pining, crying, insecurity, mild bullying/mockery, scars (they’re lightning scars!), self consciousness, cursing, talk of anatomy (?) i describe denki’s body a bit?, reader uses they/them pronouns, might be a little ooc? this just my realistic take on denki :)

*✲ﾟ*｡ playlist here (recommended)

MARIGOLDS were never his favorite, but maybe that's why he found them so endearing. petals so bright that they resembled the sun and yet always so hidden beneath the glory of other gardenias.

he supposed he didn't like them as much because they reminded him of well... him.

denki realized he might have been looking too much into it (overthinking again, he sighs), after all, it was just a flower; how could one identify themselves with a flower? but he couldn't erase the thought from his mind — marigolds and their hidden brightness.

----

the seed was first planted when you had greeted him with a bright smile when he entered the classroom, still drowsy with his eyelids being pulled down from the tiredness still running through his body. he had stayed up again- not for any particular reason, there wasn't a test today nor was he up talking to someone. his conscious just dragged him along into the deepest hours of the night until his body finally shut down to fall asleep.

clothes still rumpled and hair mussed up, he collapsed in a heap on his desk as he sent you a bright grin and wave. the class started to quiet down as the new unit of the month was introduced- quirk control and strength.

he twirled his pencil around his fingers, mind zoning out of the class and flying across to another universe- a universe where he didn't have to sit for hours on end listening to aizawa's drawling and where he could finally rest.

he felt a light poking against his elbow and he turned his head to his side to look at you; you were still looking straight ahead, displaying the profile of a good student paying attention, but you kept glancing back at him. when you glanced back at him again, you lent him a small grin and tapped your notebook, copy mine, it's okay if you can't pay attention right now.

he smiled and lightly nodded as he scribbled down your notes, leaving a small smiley face on the corner of your page as a thank you. it was the least he could do.

days later, when they all had training in gym gamma- quirk training, apparently you can never have enough- that was when he supposed the seed grew into a sapling.

his quirk was harder to control than most- electricity was something one couldn't ever have full control over. it harmed others and it harmed him- he had the electricity provoked scars across his body to prove it.

that never stopped you from believing the utmost in him. you were always cheering him on, whether on the sidelines or in a mock battle with him. he swears he thought you were mocking him in the beginning, it wasn't a surprise, after all; it wouldn't have been the first time someone would've poked fun at the way he short-circuited when he used a voltage a bit too high.

but no, you weren't mocking him. you believed in him and his quirk, that he could exceed despite his limitations-- despite his lack of grasp on control.

"i think you're gonna be a great hero one day, kami," you said, tongue slightly sticking out as you scribbled a poor drawing of him in his hero costume at the corner of his biology textbook. #1 hero: chargebolt!

he smiled down at the drawing, heart beating a few paces faster than before as his finger traced over the drawing before he leaned over and scribbled over your worksheet in response.

"hey!" you exclaimed, giggles erupting from you as you elbowed him away from your papers. the both of you were laughing now, trying to silent yourselves in the big library you were currently inhabiting. students were shooting glares at the two of you as the laughter ensued.

“shhh,” he said, voice wobbly as he continued giggling despite the finger to his lips trying to silence the both of you. leaning in a bit too close to your face, mirth gleaming in your eyes, your foreheads touched in unison as the both of you tried to contain your amusement. and then. and then, it became quiet. the laughter dying down as the two of you looked into the others’ eyes.

his eyes gleamed a liquid honey, the sunlight from the window hitting him just as beautifully as it does to marigolds. beautiful, golden, and oh so bright. there was an unmistakable sense of self-consciousness within his eyes, as he looked down towards your lips before flitting back to your e/c eyes.

gnawing lightly on his lip, he smiled, eyes creasing slightly from his expression as he leaned back in his seat, “we should get back to work, y’know, y/n. can’t have you distracting me,” he elbowed you, laughing lightly again.

breaking out of the daze of the moment, you blinked and nodded to him, quickly grabbing your pen and getting back to the worksheet and textbook laid in front of you. heart beating quicker than before, you took a quick glance towards him from the corner of your eye, only to see him already looking at you. the both of you quickly turned your head away from the other, faces feeling heated.

denki swore he felt sapling of the marigold in his heart. he felt it, and he felt it grow in sizes and ache at the prospect of you and him.

and it grew. it grew and it grew until it felt like he couldn’t discern the difference between him choking on the petals of orange and gold or from the shine of your smile, blinding him so dearly.

flowers growing abundantly within ribcage, similar to the feeling of an infestation of butterflies. he felt the gardenia ruffle in his system when your fingers brushed his, and he couldn’t help but want more. more and more and more. he wanted all of your sunshine; all of you.

he was thinking of what he could possibly do, how could he confess and splatter the words to you, without absolutely messing it up. it was then when he had heard their words. their words of mockery, and how they made fun of him. denki wasn’t one to be hurt as easily. he was smiles and brightness if there was a human form, and he didn’t turn down teasing. but this.

this was- they were making fun of his weaknesses- of something he couldn’t control. they way he short-circuited, left completely defenseless and unaware of his surroundings and indisputably weak. of how he couldn’t possibly become a hero when he needed saving himself. there was never a mention of his strength, of how he could put out nearly two million volts of electricity, of how he was strong.

and then the overbearing thoughts came. all the insecurities that built up since entering UA, and how they’ve been pushed down because heroes can’t show weakness. his fists clenched and knuckles whitened as heartbeat accelerated and tears formed in his eyes, threatening to fall.

he led himself down a small field, it was right next to the school, a place where you and him came to study and sometimes just spend time with each other. chanting within himself, don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry as he made his way down the grass, hands shaking from fury and desolation.

don’t cry, you’re not allowed-

“denki?”

he looked up to see your face, concern spread across your face as you assessed his expression and form. “are you-”

“no! no i’m okay, i’m fine. i promise.” he smiled, quickly wiping at his eyes for any stray tears as he looked at you brightly.

you blinked. “o-kay.” you pointed towards a willow tree near the center of the field, “wanna go sit there? just hang out?” you asked him, a tentative smile gracing your face as you reached out to touch his shoulder as a means to give him a comforting touch.

he nodded, hands still mildly shaking as he slipped his hand into yours. the both of you sat underneath the shade of the willow tree, flowers growing near the edge of its roots. you laid your head back against the trunk of the willow as you said, “you know you’re gonna be a great hero someday? i don’t know what they said, but you are. you’re strong, denki. for fucks sake, you can produce two million volts of electricity. you don’t think that’s powerful? look at your lightning scars- they show your strength; as a matter of fact i- mmph!”

you were cut off with him leaning forward and planting his lips on top of yours. his lips still had the salty taste of tears on them, as he kept one scarred hand cupping your face as he kissed you intensely, the sun shining on both of your faces as you turned properly to kiss him back with just the amount of emotion.

you leaned back for air, when he said, “i really really like you, y/n,”

you quirked an eyebrow at him, a smirk passing on your face, “yeah? well i really really like you too, chargebolt.”

he grinned at your words, as you held his hand covered in lichtenberg figures, and left a light kiss across a pale scar. heart soaring as the marigolds in his heart ruffled once more in delight of a found love.

Accidental Voltage-Denki

First time trying to hold their hand. Does it go right or wrong?

Main Masterlist MHA Masterlist

+For being the pervert that Denki could be, everyone was surprised when they found out that you two hadn’t been intimate in any way. You two hadn’t even held hands. I mean they were really surprised. Denki is even surprised at himself but he really wants this to work with you. So when the time comes, he is really happy…happily electrified.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The whole class was having a movie night and we had invited some others from the other classes. Such as Shinso, the Big Three, Tetsutetsu, and somehow Monoma. I was sitting next to Denki on the end of one of the couches while Shinso was sitting on the ground in front of me. Shinso and I grew up together, so we had always been close, which made Denki happy since he was hell-bent on being friends with the purple hair boy.

“This movie is so boring.” Denki quietly into my ear. I chuckled. I looked over at him in the dark. He was looking at the ceiling, exasperated. He let his head fall to look at me.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t pick it though.” I told him.

“Grape did.” Shinso said, leaning his head back against my knee. The two of us laugh a little too loud. Iida chided us but we couldn’t help but laugh at Shinso picking up on Class 1-A’s nickname for the littlest member of the class.

“I am surprised it’s not worse since he’s a perverted little shit.” I said.

“You’re boyfriends a perverted little shit.” Shinso said. Denki gasped dramatically, placing a hand on his chest. Shinso just rolled his eyes before turning to the movie. Denki crossed his arms and pouted.

“Denks.” I nudged him with my elbow. He looked at me with puppy eyes. I booped him on the nose and he went cross eyed for a second before grinning widely. I chuckled lightly.

I turned back to the movie and we sat in silence for a while before I got restless again. I lifted Shinso’s head off my knee so I could fold a leg under me. He looked up at me when I placed it back down. I rolled my neck and leant back into the couch. I saw a look in his eyes. I raised an eyebrow at him. His eyes darted between me and Denki.

“Come on.” He whispered. He nudged me with his shoulder. He knew that I wanted to be more intimate with Denki but was to shy. He kept pestering me about just going for it but I still wouldn’t.

“Shinso.” I snapped, shaking my head. He gave me an irritated look. We started silently argued for a minute before I was hit with a pillow at full speed. I yelped and somehow caught the pillow. I looked ahead dazed before looking around. I saw Jiro glaring lightly at me. She motioned towards Denki too. She knew too. I sighed before looking at Denki. He was giving me a confused but I just shook my head. I took the pillow though and smacked Shinso before throwing the pillow behind me.

“Bitch.” He groaned before sitting forward and away from me. I didn’t react much because I was in my head. I took a big breath before looking at Denki. He had shifted and had straitened up and had folded his knee up and was leaning an elbow on it. His other hands was laying relaxed on his thigh.

“Denki.” He turned toward me. I smiled at him and he gave me one back. “I um… I.” I stuttered and blushed. I looked down quick and I heard him chuckle. I took a big breath before looking at his hand. I lifted my hand and before backing out, I reached for his hand. I felt him tense up. I was about to retract my hand but he suddenly tightened his grip.

“Finally.” I heard Shinso whisper. I bit my lip and looked at Denki. He was blushing madly but smiling none the less. He looked over at me and then at our hands. He started bouncing a little bit. I looked back at the TV and out of the corner of my eye I was him fist pump a little. He was really excited and was still bouncing. All of a sudden, a small jolt of voltage was sent through his hand.

“Shit!” I said. Denki ripped his hand away and looked at me scared. I saw tears well up in his eyes. I started to shake my head and went to reach for him but he jerked away. He stood up and jumped over the back of the couch, running away. “Denki! Wait!”

“What’s going on?” The others noticed the commotion. They started asking questions but I ignored them to go after the sparky boy. He had run out of the building. I ran out and looked around. I caught sight of his yellow hair. He was running to the back of the main building on campus. I followed and ran onto the PE grounds.

“Denki!!” I yelled. I cupped my hands over my mouth and yelled again. I got no response.

“What are you doing?” I jumped and turned to see All Might. I held my hand to my chest. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“It’s okay. I was just looking for Denki. He ran this way but I lost him.” I looked around.

“Oh I saw Young Kaminari run into the equipment room just a few minutes ago.” He pointed in that direction. I smiled and bowed.

“Thank you so much. All Might! Please excuse me.” I ran off but I heard him chuckle as he gave me a farewell. I ran up to the door and skidded to a stop before gently opening the door.

“Stupid!” I flinched when I heard Denki yell at himself. I walk in silently and looked around the corner to see him pacing. I watched for a moment, leaning against the wall. “I can’t believe I let that happen. I can’t even control my quirk for the sake of holding my own girlfriends hand! Damn, maybe Bakugo’s right. Maybe I am just a dunce.”

“Denki.” I whispered. He sat back against a stack of training mats, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“God, they be so disappointed. They can’t even…” He trailed off with a sigh. I silently moved from the wall and walked over to him. I gently grabbed the wrist that he was had by his face and pulled it away. He jumped but calmed down when he saw me. Without a word, I stepped closer and intertwined my hand with his.

“I am far from disappointed.” I said in honesty after a few minutes of silence. I set my free hand on his cheek, running my thumb to wipe away a stray tear. “You are not a dunce. Far from it. And you know that Bakugo doesn’t really mean it. You’re extremely smart. You just have a laid back personality and there is nothing wrong with that.”

“But I shocked you. I can’t even hold your hand properly. I could hurt you or full on electrocute you…” He began to ramble on like Midoriya. I chuckle.

“Denki. Denki. Denki!” I gripped his cheek tightly. He stopped and looked at me. “You’ve been holding my hand for over 5 minutes and nothing has happened. See?” I lifted our hands into view. He stared and I saw him relaxing. A smiled crept onto his face.

“You’re right.” He laughed with watery eyes. He closed his eyes and shook his head. He gripped hand tight before bringing it to his lips.

“And I don’t mind a shock or two here and there. If I did, I wouldn’t be dating a literal tesla coil.” I said. He laughed, eyes scrunching.

“Telsa coil, huh?” He asked. I nodded. “Hmm. I like that. Maybe I should change my hero name to that.”

“No.” I brushed his hair back. “To the world, you’re Chargebolt. You’re my telsa coil, no one elses.” I said with a mach glared. He nodded and nuzzled into my hand. “Now come on.” I stepped back and pulled him back with me. He followed me out of the equipment room. We walked back to the Heights Alliance.

“I am sorry.” He said. He was rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand. “I was just so excited to finally be holding hands with you that my excitement came out in tiny sparks I guess.”

“It is okay, Denks. I wasn’t hurt at all. I was just surprised that it happened.” I told him. He looked relieved and looked it up.

“Looks like we’re back. I really don’t want to go back in.” I could see the blush of embarrassment. I looked around and an idea came to mind.

“How about we go star gazing in the courtyard?” His eyes lit up and nodded eagerly. We walked around back instead of through the common room. We sat down at in a nice spot and just watched the stars. We were laid back and I was starting to fall asleep.

“You’re so cute.” He whispered. I turned over onto my side and looked at him through my eyelashes. He reached over and traced a knuckle over my cheek. “You and your pretty eyes.” We stared at each other in the eyes. A cold breeze blew over us that caused me to shiver. “It’s getting cold out/ How about we go back inside?”

“Okay.” He got up and reached out for me. I grabbed both of his hands in mine and he pulled me up easy. We end up standing chest to chest. I blushed and quickly pecked his cheek before taking off.

“H-hey! Get back here!” He stuttered. I laughed as he ran after me.

“YO, GAUNTLETS! ON YOUR LEFT! Gangway or sick bay!”

Katsuki whipped around as he heard the call-out, trying to figure out exactly which fuckin’ extra had the audacity not to use his name. His scarlet eyes fell on you, narrowing as you blew past him to vault and sprinted to Denki, who crouched down, lacing his fingers to create a space for you to step before launching you as high as possible into the air. You twisted your body in the air, rapidly scanning your surroundings, your hi-tech visor rapidly pinging targets as you flew.

“Four enemies spotted inbound, two of them coming in hot on the left, one coming in behind Gauntlets, and another seems to have a civilian hostage of unknown age but is coming in on your right. Descending now!”, the information from your visor transmitted down to Denki’s rapidly as you entered freefall, and he caught you effortlessly.

“And Syncopate sticks the landing with the assist of the ahhh-mazing Chargebolt!”

“Not the time, Denks,” you whip around to face the hero you blew past earlier, “Gauntlets, check your six!”

Katsuki whipped around and delivered an explosive uppercut to the goon behind him, launching him into what was likely controlled airspace.

You smirked, “Nice shot!”

He looked over his shoulder at you, “My name isn’t Gaun—”

“Obviously not, but I don’t care what it is right now,” Katsuki looked as if he’d been slapped across the face, and you continued, “There is a fuckin’ battle happening and one of these Trigger junkies has a hostage! Fix that stupid look on your face and get your head in the game you fuckin’ stanchion!”

You turned in time to see Denki contending with the two enemies approaching on the left and locked onto a nearby hydrant, casting a pointed glare at the hero who looked ready to explode, “You’re mad at me, pretty boy? Good. Prove you’re useful and take it out on that hydrant. Maybe that’ll remind you how your quirk works and light a fire under your ass.”

Katsuki glanced at it and sent a precision shot towards it, destroying it and sending water cascading around you all. You radioed your plan to Denki, who hastily agreed, and you took off in his direction.

“Boom boy, find the hostage! We got it here!”

He felt glued to the spot as he watched you launch yourself onto Denki’s back and press the pointer and middle fingers of both hands to his temples, “Ready, Sparky Boy?”

“As always, Zappy Girl.”

You channeled your quirk through your fingers and into his temples, increasing his power and voltage resistance limit. You looked over your shoulder and saw the exploding hero still standing there stupidly and covered in water.

“GET OUT OF THE IMPACT ZONE BEFORE WE ZAP THAT STUPID LOOK OFF OF YOUR FACE!" you shouted, voice slightly panicked, "FIND DRY LAND, NOT ON TOP OF A BUILDING, NOW!”

Your words seemed to break his trance and he blindly launched himself out of the way and into a nearby park, landing in a dry sandbox. You sighed in relief as Denki went off, downing the approaching enemies. You hopped off his shoulders and sprinted towards the remaining enemy with a hostage, passing the time bomb as you went.

“You gonna come save a hostage or not, stanchion?”

You put your bright yellow visor on the skittish little boy, smoothing his cinnamon hair. You'd gained his trust by showing him a trick with your quirk, arcing electricity from finger to finger like a bunny before asking if he’d like to try. You knelt behind him and made sure both of your feet were firmly on dry ground before gently grabbing his wrists and pressing your pointer and middle fingers to the sides of both his hands. Using yourself as a grounding point as you sent the spark up his arm and across his fingers, sending him giggling at the tickle and his tears finally drying.

Now, you cradled him in your lap and hummed sweetly, rocking gently as he gazed at your visor’s demo settings, mesmerizing him. Shoto and Denki went to approach the two of you and you shook your head no, then asked the little boy if he wanted to watch cartoons on the visor. He squealed happily as you used your watch to recalibrate it to a popular kids’ cartoon in the area, eventually relaxing back into you as you rocked him, thumb in his mouth. You asked him a few test questions like his age (he held up four fingers, and you high fived him for it), where he was from (he stumbled over Saitama Prefecture), and who his favorite hero was (A name you didn't recognize) before moving on to more pressing questions, setting up your visor to record the conversation.

“Hey there pumpkin, do you know where your mommy or daddy are?”

He looked up at you with bright blue eyes, shaking his head no.

“Do you know your address?”

Denki and Shoto looked on as you continued to ask the child about the incident, as gently as possible, praising him for answering you and ensuring he knew he wasn’t in trouble if he couldn’t answer. The conversation transmitted from your headset to both of theirs.

“(Y/N) is great with kids, isn’t she, Shoto?”

“Very, it was a strong reason she was hired. Did you know the trick she does with the lightning is called ‘Bunny Bolt’? It was on her resume.”

Denki pouted, “She never taught me how to do it...or that it has a name.”

“I wouldn’t teach you either, your power is…less subtle.”

Denki pouted dramatically, and the thudding of boots let them know Katsuki had finally decided to reappear after giving the police a report. Denki smiled back at him, “Hey, Kats! Wanna hear something cool?”

He nodded his head towards the child in your lap, “(Y/N) is currently interviewing that child and asked who his favorite hero was. Wanna guess the answer?”

“I don’t know, Deku? Why should I c--”

“Dynamight.”

Katsuki couldn’t fight the shit eating grin on his face as he changed radio channels to listen in, “What can I say, little dude has good taste!”

His voice carried on the wind and the child’s eyes snapped up as he squealed. Katsuki watched your eyes narrow at him and roll before returning attention to the child with a much softer look, voice coming through the radio.

Y/N: Who’s that, pumpkin?

DYNAMIGHT!

You looked up at them for a fact check and Denki snorted before nodding and giving a thumbs up. You looked puzzled and alarmed, and Shoto responded via radio to confirm that no, Dynamight was not accustomed to children and usually terrified them.

Denki giggled, “She wasn’t kidding when she said she had no clue who you are.”

“I will wait until that child isn’t looking and quite literally blow your fucking mind if you don’t shut up right now, you glorified charging station.”

Y/N: That sure is Dynamight! Good eye!

Katsuki tried to ignore the pleasant spark in his brain that came from hearing you gently coo his hero name into the child’s ear, and Denki fought back a smirk as he watched Katsuki's cheeks flush pink.

Y/N: How would you like to meet him?

The child’s excited squeal spiked the mic and both Denki and Katsuki looked at each other in alarm. Shoto shrugged and beckoned them forward, “Well, you do need to work on your skills when interacting with kids.”

You picked the child up and put him on your hip, looking directly at Katsuki and gesturing at him to follow what you were doing before walking towards the trio. Katsuki didn’t protest, knowing this was not up for debate from your expression and realizing he did need to work on his skills with kids.

You tapped your wrists subtly, and he carefully removed his gauntlets and set them aside, noting how you were holding and carrying the child. The little boy squirmed in your arms and you squatted to put him down, Katsuki mimicking your squat. You let the child go and put your hands forward as if picking him up, and Katuski mirrored, the child running directly into his hands. He stood up and put the child on his hip, the little boy squealing joyfully as Katsuki bounced him up to sit on top of his utility belt like a seat. You gave him a thumbs up, and he smiled at the child.

“Hey there little dude, heard you got good taste in heroes!”

“Where the fuck is he?!”

Katsuki turned away from his locker, trying to figure out what was causing the commotion outside. Normally, he was the one responsible for high volume office antics, but this time the yelling sounded feminine and he felt sorry for whatever poor fuck would be on the business end of that kind of fury.

“Calm dow—”

“I will short circuit you if you don’t get out of my goddamn way.”

Denki let out a scream that could give Eri a run for her money as the locker room door flew open with a loud crash, chaos spilling into the locker room. Katsuki saw a black and yellow streak come charging towards him then grunted as your boot made contact with the center of his bare chest and slammed him into the wall of lockers, your other foot firmly planted on the bench to make up for the height variance.

Well, shit. Turns out he’s the poor fuck.

“What the hell?” he spat, one large hand wrapping around your ankle.

You pressed your boot in harder, “Hey there, Gauntlets, maybe the next time I tell you to get the fuck out of the way, you listen the first time.”

Katsuki knocked your foot off his chest, and you rested your ankle atop his shoulder instead, never breaking eye contact.

“Who the fuck do you think you a—”

“(F/N) (L/N) is who the fuck I am, Dynamight, or you can call me Syncopate.”

His grimace deepened when you sarcastically emphasized his hero name, and he scoffed, “The name’s Katsuki Bakugo, and I’m the number tw—”

You scoffed, “I don’t give a shit about your hero ranking, Boom Boy. Maybe focus less on bragging rights and more on situational awareness.” You removed your leg from his shoulder, “You could have fucking died, you vapid, self-centered reprobate!”

“You’ve got a lot of nerve for some fucking new hire. I had it covered, it’s not like I’ve never been hit with Sparky’s quirk before.”

You bit back the urge to start yelling again, “No, what you had was a hero suit covered in water while you stood in a puddle with a stupid ass expression on your face, and as far as me being a new hire goes, I’ve been here for a whopping two weeks and I can already tell you’re the most reckless fuck here. How could you possibly have had that kind of situation covered with critical information missing? Do you even know what my quirk does?”

Katsuki opened his mouth to answer, and you scowled, “Shut the fuck up, that was a rhetorical question. I know that you don’t. The answer is that I control electrical impulses, making them stronger or weaker as needed. When I told you to clear out, it’s because I was boosting Denki’s output ten fucking fold, so you absolutely did not have it covered. That is why I’m a mile high fucking fire right now.”

Katsuki’s mouth remained open for a moment, then snapped shut. He scoffed at you, looking away.

You grabbed his chin to force him to look you in the eye, leaning your face dangerously close to his before whispering, “I don’t know who hyped your head up, but if you can’t work in a team then you ain’t shit to be impressed with, Katsuki.” You drew out his name by syllable, hissing the “s” in his name, “My respect is earned, not given, and I meant it when I told you ‘gangway or sick bay’. Next time I won’t stop you from stupidly choosing sick bay. Number two hero? My fucking ass.”

You sent a brief zap into his jaw and released him, leaving him pressed against the lockers and sauntering off.

Right as you got to the door, you stopped for a moment, "Oh, and by the way? Kids look good on you. Maybe if you were less of a phallus, you'd have a couple."

He stood stock-still as Eri appeared in the doorway and cleared her throat, the teen shaking her swear jar at you.

“What’s my damage, sparkle?”

“Uh…fifteen dollars. I think. What’s a reprobate?”

“Not a swear word, even though it feels like it should be one,” you quipped, “But for educational purposes, it’s someone who causes problems, usually on purpose.”

“Fourteen dollars, then.” You two headed out of the locker room while debating whether damn should count towards the swear jar while Denki carefully poked his head around the corner, “You…uh…you good, Kats?”

“Well, I’m not dead, but I do have a boner so…that’s fuckin’ new.”

“I heard that, Gauntlets!” you called back from up the hall, “Don’t make it weird!”

Next Chapter

[falling-pages]

traitor/villain Denki Kaminari

Y'all I am so desperate for the traitor to be Denki. Like I don't think it will happen BUT I want to see him as a villain so enjoy these thoughts:

(Disclaimer: I have no idea where everyone is on this so I'm tagging spoilers just in case, but there shouldn't be any spoiling done I don't think)

Denki is so smart. Sure he can sometimes act like he only has one braincell and sometimes he places last in tests, but he got into UA. That is incredibly impressive! And he is one of the more powerful heroes in his class!

That can definitely be preyed on by villains. Just imagine Shigaraki snaking around him whispering that they know how smart he is, they appreciate his quirk, they see what an intelligent fighter he is.

No one really understands how powerful Denki truly is?? Like this boy can shoot ELECTRICITY out of his body!!! We are so lucky he is a good person at his core because if he even thought about wavering, he could destroy the world and then some.

An electric villain would be absolutely TERRIFYING. Dabi and his blue flames are fine and dandy, but picture Denki Kaminari--fallen hero Chargebolt--with a scar running through his eye and Lichtenberg figures racing down his chest, connecting through his arms and palms. A villain who could take you out in the most painful way possible.

He'd be a mastermind at torture.

Imagine Denki killing someone. Watching the yellow in his eyes fade as his pupils completely expand, watching how he twists his fingers to pump out the maximum voltage. It's addicting, and he can't stop.

The LOV can validate his pain. I headcanon that whenever he blows a fuse and gets the dunce face, he's actually in a lot of pain--his brain is melting from shock, and his whole body is numb yet on fire--but he can't articulate it. Everyone makes fun of him because of how dumb he looks but Dabi, who mutilated himself, completely understands the pain.

Electrifying his weapons???? Making them conductor for his energy???

Give me a Denki Kaminari who is the butt of all the dumb blonde jokes, spat on when he overcharges, not taken seriously and keeps having his pain invalidated and he just SNAPS.

I'm assuming from the title we'll be focusing on one electric boi.

Welcome to the world of Pro's, Mineta.

The cat looking hero with the hat is telling everyone just because they have a shit ton of heroes doesn't mean they can get cocky since they don't know who they'll be fighting.

Hear that Mineta? Get the fuck up.

Jirou is worried about Tokoyami and Kaminari since they're on the frontlines and Momo tells her she's sure they'll be fine, only for the panel to immediately cut to Kaminari have a panic attack while rushing into battle.

That dark hero with the hat behind Edge Shot. He's the one from Shiketsu, right? From the double page spread in chapter 246? I wonder what his quirk is.

Midnight is trying to encourage Denki by telling him they needed his quirk specifically for this battle, and that he must think little of them for depending so much children for this raid. Denki, being the lovable pikachu that he is, tells her that he doesn't feel that way about the pros while still freaking out about the battle.

Tokoyami adds his five cents to the convo by saying practicing guitar with Kami made him realise what a magnificent fellow Kami is. The encouragement goes right over Kami's head, who responds with "How's complementing my guitar skills suppose to help me now?!?!?". Tokoyami is about to elaborate when he's interuted by Cementos yelling "Attack!!"

Ok so at first I thought this was water but then I read the rest of the panel. Cementos' quirk is kinda OP when you think about just how much damage he can do with it. He could probably tear down this entire building. Hell, he could probably bring down entire cities. We should all be very glad Cementos is a hero is what im saying.

Anyway Skeptic is freaking the fuck out and yelling out order at anyone who will listen.

I'm guessing from the lightning bolt that he's probably an electric type as well. Oh Cementos looks like he's about to take a gigantic shit.

Oh shit! Guess he can take down that entire building. Again, really glad this guy is a hero.

Lightning bolt guy emerges from the dust and rubble like a fucking messiah or some shit and is all "This is happening cause we sat on our asses waiting for Shigaraki when all we need to do is attack first"

I see you heading in the opposite direction, Dabi. You can't hide from me.

Edge Shot gives a quick little speech that went "If just one of them escapes we're fucked. It's do or die time, bitches."

This, of course, does absolutely nothing to help Denki out of his panic, so Midnight takes another crack at it and tells him not to get caught up in the and think about what's important to him instead.

Then we immediately get this panel right afterwards

I see what you are doing here Horikoshi and I very much approve.

Lightningbolt guy is tazering himself and being all cocky. Is he doing that cause of his quirk? It looks like he absorbed the electricity.

Okay so literally the next panel be explains what he was doing. Yes he did absorb the electricity and it looms lime he increased the voltage too. He's getting ready to attack the heroes while spouting some bullshit about how his quirk is "tHe bEsT Of thE bESt".

While this is happening Denki sprints ahead of everyone while Tokoyami elaborates on what he was trying to say earlier with a short flashback to when they were practicing for the culture festival. Tokoyami says Kaminari is all ways looking out for others right as Lightningbolt guy discharges a massive blast of electricity that 100% will kill everything in its path.

OR AT LEAST IT WOULD HAVE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE STUNGUN HERO: CHARGEBOLT, WHO CAN APPARENTLY ABSORB ELECTRICITY?!?!?

Was this a well known thing? Why wasn't I informed? Shit, Denki really said the-power-of-friendship rights. Also, he looks so badass in this panel. Horikoshi really knows what he's doing.

UHHHHH

Hawks? Whatcha doing there buddy? Why those eyes look so... inherently evil. You're not planning on committing another murder, are you? Cause that would be bad. I get that Twice is crazy op and could destroy this entire operation in, like, 3 mins but still.

So anyway, this chapter was great. Lots of crumbs for the KamiJirou stans. Hawks is looking like he might actually kill Twice but I'm hoping for a twist. Best Sparky Boi, Kaminari got his time to shine and hopefully put those traitor!Kaminari rumours to rest.

Until next time.

❛ you should’ve thought about that before you got into a fight. ❜ - bakugo katsuki to kaminari denki

Thought about that before he got into a fight? Did the other blond really think that our Chargebolt could even think about what his name was right now? He was staring out into space - so indeed: Bakugo… Denki isn’t even paying attention to you. He has no idea that you’re scolding him. Kaminari has his elbows pressed into his own abdomen. He spurts out smoke from between his lips and a string of incoherent words escape his mouth. ”Raaad.” He blinked - and realised - while he was being scolded - that his fellow heroes in training were still there… and were worried about him for all the voltage he had used… Sadly, Denki was far too gone to care. His hair even more on end, the dry brittle ends more fried and frizzled than was usual for the dubbed ’Pikachu’, Denki just gave two thumbs up to Bakugo with a goofy grin. He didn’t care. He couldn’t even think straight with his brain fried. Try again in an hour.

[dreams-of-the-morrow]

bakugou wouldn't have jerked away if not for denki sweetly calling him honey like it was no big deal. the realization hits denki after a second, and there's nowhere to hide his face going red. "oops." bakugou stiffly turns, the words doing strange things to his heart, "w-whatever, let's go."

[hypocritehero]

@the-chargebolt-hero: (X)

“You.. really think so?” Denki asked, seemingly not believing Izuku’s words of encouragement. He had been feeling down about his own abilities and his improvement, not believing that he had actually been improving and that his quirk wasn’t good enough to become a hero, and had decided to confide in Izuku for comfort. His usual group of friends were nice and very sweet, but Denki would be lying if he said they were amazing at comfort.

“Sometimes I’m just.. worried that I won’t be enough. Do you ever feel like that?” He wanted confirmation that he wasn’t alone- that someone felt the same way. And if it were Izuku, well, that would be saying a lot to him. Denki always admired the other for being strong, especially considering his quirk, which in ways was very similar to All Might’s.

That question hits a lot closer to home than Kaminari could ever know. Honestly, sometimes Izuku wishes he could talk about this with more people than All Might or Katsuki, since they were both too close to the situation to offer any sort of unbiased opinion, but as it was...

Well, a modified version of the truth couldn’t hurt. He’d like to share his feelings honestly at least, to grow closer to his classmates.

“...All the time, actually,” Izuku admits quietly, looking down at his hands. “I was a... late bloomer, so I developed my quirk much later than the other kids. When I started the school year, I felt miles behind everyone else who had lived with their quirks their whole lives... Because it’s not enough to just have power, you have to be able to use it properly, too.”

He looks back at Kaminari and smiles a little wrly. “You had a similar issue with your quirk hurting you, right? If you exceeded your voltage, you’d completely lose your senses, but that hasn’t happened in a while. You even thought up support equipment to help you aim your electricity! That was really cool! I think it’s that kind of thing, like knowing your own limits and thinking of new ways to make up for your shortcomings, that make you a better hero than just being born with a strong quirk. Right?”
