And the scenario... my, my. A role reversal of the most heartbreaking kind. The Overblot Gang—who were all saved by the Reader's kindness and endurance—watching that very same Reader succumb to the darkness?

This is a dish of profound Guilt and Desperate Devotion. They know exactly what that darkness feels like. Seeing you drown in it is their worst nightmare.

The kitchen has prepared this with a heavy hand on the angst, followed by the sweetest, most protective comfort.

Home felt so far away today. It was all you could think about. Your friends, your family... you were supposed to be enjoying today. Not sulking in your girlfriend's empty classroom. Ursula watched you with a frown, the way you slumped at her desk in her chair. She had gone to get some books for her next class. Only to find you, one of the newer teachers to the school.

"Y/N..?" Ursula's voice was soft, her heels clicking as she walked over to you. Setting her books down and running her fingers through your hair. Pulling it behind your ear before cupping your cheek," what's wrong, my love?"

"Missing home..." You murmured and a look of understanding crossed her eyes. That's right. Today was your birthday. It only made sense you would feel this way. She wondered if this was your first birthday away from home, with how you were acting. As far as her knowledge about your past goes, you were homeschooled. You never went to Luna Nova; so becoming a teacher was a pretty big change for you.

Ursula kneels down in front of you, gently turning your chin to look at her. After making sure no students were close, she placed a soft kiss to your lips. Looking into your eyes. "Happy birthday. I know it must be tough but you, Croix and I will do something special tonight. Just for you. You know... Croix may or may not have gotten reservations at your favourite restaurant~" Ursula hinted, which peaked your interest. "You didn't hear that from me, though." Her finger went to her lips as she winked at you.

Ursula knew it was supposed to be a surprise. She couldn't help herself though when she saw you so down. Croix, your other girlfriend, had planned a nice evening for the three of you. At your favourite restaurant, no less. And you couldn't wait.

"Really?" Your eyes lit up as you sat up in Ursula's chair.

"What's this I hear about restaurants? Chariot, you didn't tell them, did you?" Croix walked into the classroom. Hands on her hips as she looked at the two of you, that classic smirk across her lips. It didn't take her long to make the connection of why Ursula had told you. She noticed the lingering sadness behind your eyes. The way Ursula seemed to have been comforting you just moments before. Croix was smart; she knew how to read a room.

"I- um-!" Ursula's face flushed, looking suddenly embarrassed as she looked to the ground. You couldn't help but laugh a bit, resting a comforting hand to her shoulder. Thumb gently rubbing across the fabric of her uniform.

"Oh well, can't be helped now I suppose. Surprise, Y/N. Happy birthday." Croix walked over to the desk. Her hands rested on the surface. She leaned over, placing a kiss to your lips. A little less softer, more rougher than Ursula's had been. But you didn't mind. When the kiss parted, Croix winked at you," there's still plenty of other surprises. So, save your energy. Have some water." With a wave of Croix's wand, a water bottle appeared in her hand. She handed it to you.

Summary: Not only have you made it to your dream school UA and into the hero course but you were part of class 1A. What else could you possibly ask for? You have achieved one of your dreams so why did you feel so off? It seemed the only person who could help you feel normal was a short-circuiting classmate of yours. Another peculiar addition to this weird problem and solution of yours was the static feeling that rushed through your skin touched his.

Warnings/Notes: fluff, slight angst, homesick, reader has younger siblings

Short Circuit

     This is both the best thing and the worst thing to ever happen to you. You’ve been accepted into UA’s hero course as a transfer student. Talk about a dream come true, so why? Why was there this empty weight sitting in your stomach?

“Y/n?” A voice calls but doesn’t pull you from your train of thought.

‘Why… I should be –just– happy, but I feel like something’s wrong… like something’s missing.’

“Y/n… Y/N!” The voice snapped as a cane wacks the top of your head. You rub your head as you turn to Recovery Girl.

“I’m sorry, ma'am..” you bow and apologize. She lets a heavy sigh slip from her lips,

“Y/n, why don’t you go enjoy the fair. We can make it without your spare hands for an hour or two”. You tilt your head to the side as a single brow lifts cautiously,

“Are you sure about that?” The entire reason you were at the fair was to help Recovery Girl at the first aid station when fairgoers got hurt. If you were being honest with yourself, you would have preferred to stay in your new room, alone. Not that you wanted to be alone, either.

“You’ve done great work helping; you should go before I change my mind,” Her eyes narrow.  You nod and skip away.

'AhhhAHHHHahhh, AhhhhAHHHHahhh’

      Walking about the fair was the Bakusquad.

“Hah Bakugou, do you see your face in this photo!?” Mina teases,

“Delete it! Or I’ll blow your ass up.” Bakugou growls.

“Bakubro, that’s kinda aggressive.” Kirishima chuckles.

“I think it looks pretty funny!” Sero chuckles, Bakugou looks kinda scared in it. Denki, don’t you agree?“ There is no response. A few attempts are made by Mina and Sero to catch the electric boy’s attention but to no avail. Kaminari’s eyes were being held captive. He watches as the lights, the smells, and the sounds seem to enrapture you momentarily.

’Candy, she’s sweet like candy in my veins’

The awe and wonder breakaway as the faint sound of a sniffle finds its way to your ear. You notice a child quietly crying because their icecream fell. You pull two lollipops you had on hand for kids that came by the first aid tent from your back pocket. You kneel before the child,

"Here. It may not be ice cream, but it’s just as yummy. Cheer up; the grass is happy to get such a sweet treat from a kid equally as sweet, even if it was by accident.” The child smiled and giggled. It reminded you of your younger siblings, and that empty weighted feeling came rushing back. Still, you return the smile and wave as the child runs off.

’Baby, I’m dying for another taste’

Kaminari watched as you stood up and met his gaze. You wave, giggle, and smile. He almost short-circuited right then and there. He hadn’t even noticed his buddies stopped walking.

      "Mm-HAH!“ Bakugou exclaims as he snatches Mina’s phone and rushes to delete it.

"No fair!!” Mina whines as the explosive boy pockets her phone “Wait, don’t tell me.” She gasps playfully. “Bakugou, were you actually scared on that ride!?”

“SHUT UP! OF COURSE, I WASN’T SCARED! ARE YA ASKING TO GET YOUR ASS BEAT?!?” Bakugou figuratively and literally explodes. The sounds of small explosions in his hands startle a nearby civilian with a porcupine quirk. Quills went flying towards a food tent that had someone working with knives. At that moment, it seems like times slow down as you decide how to react. One of the quills hit the food worker holding a knife; they accidentally fling the knife. You manage to focus long enough to use your quirk, forcing the spaced-out boy to stop moving, then your feet spring into action. You sprint at the Bright-haired boy, as the knife hurdles towards him. You just barely manage to drop down and leg swipe him in time. Time feels normal again as you quickly get to your feet.

      "Oh, my goodness!“ You finally realize what you had just done, "are you okay?”. You bend down and reach your hand out to the boy you just leg swiped. Kaminari groans as he sits up and rubs the back of his head. Out of natural reaction, he reaches for your hand without realizing it.

“What just hap… pened,” his eyes lifted to see the girl he’d been staring at moments ago. “A-am I in angel because you look like a heaven,” he blurts. You laugh at the messed up pickup line as your hand wraps around his. The moment your skin touches his, a static feeling jolts its way up both of your arms.

“Woah,” being startled by the sudden feeling you jerk your arm back. Kaminari’s whole body appears to short circuit. You rush to wrap your arms around his back, so he doesn’t fall.

“Heh heh, wheew” his face and voice had changed, and once again, you found yourself giggling. It was then you realized who he was.

'Oh right, he’s from the hero course’ You slip your hands down his arms and grab onto his hands. The static feeling shoots down your arm once again.

“Come on short circuit, let’s get you to Recovery Girl.” You pull him to his feet and pick him up.

       "Hey, co-…“ You look round to ask Kaminar’s friends for help, only to realize they were already helping those who had been injured by the quills. "Could you have the injured follow me?” You ask the helpers.

“Sure thing girly! Thanks for helping our friend you have there.” Mina answers. It takes a moment for you to recognize Kaminari’s friends, but it all comes to you eventually,

'Ah… I watched them in the sports festival they have here’. Once Kaminari is in a seat, you double-check for any injuries you missed. A heavy sigh comes from Recovery Girl,

“What on earth happened?” She asks openly. You went to answer, but Mina starts explaining.

“…. She leg swiped Kaminari, and then we gathered all of the injured while she helped him back up.”

“So you managed to control his movements? Does this mean you will not be able to help heal?” Recovery Girl looks to you.

“I just need to drink some water and rest for a few minutes. All I didn’t use much energy to do it.” You answer reassuringly.

“As dangerous as it was, it looked pretty cool. It was like she froze him in place.” Mina’s eyes lit up, and her hands shake from side to side. Her excitement and curiosity became infectious because sooner enough, others in the group were asking the same thing.

“Yeah! How did you do that?” Sero crosses his arms and dares to lift an eyebrow.

“Oh.. ah. It’s not all that amazing. I was just controlling the fluids in his body, forcing him to stop moving. I suppose I could have made him run out of the knife’s way, but that would have used more energy, and I wanted to make sure I could still help the others afterward. I just got lucky that the only one in the knife’s way was your Short Circuited friend.” you explained.

“That’s so cool!”

“Awesome! That’s kinda Manly!”

“Heh yeah. What they said,” The group compliments in various ways.

      After all the injuries were looked after Bakugou was forced to apologize for his outburst and Mina for causing it. Everyone is then released to enjoy the fair again or leave it. This included you.

“But recovery girl, this fair isn’t over yet..” you started. She shook her head,

“Go back to the dorms and rest. You start classes tomorrow, and if I keep you here too late, you’ll pass out in class I can guarantee it.” She explained and shoes you away.

“Hey, why don’t I walk him back?” You suggest as you look over at their friend, who still seems to be out of commission, “Can he walk?”

“Oh yeah, He’s a bit slow when he’s like this, but he can walk,” Sero reassures. Bakugou rolls his eyes and barks at his electric friend.

“Dunce face, let’s go!” slowly but surely his friend got up.

“Yyyaaay!!” Kaminari cheers with his hands in the form of thumbs up.

“Are you sure you don’t want us to come with you?” Kirishima offers, but you shake your head and insist they continue having fun.

      The two of you start your walk back to UA, as you walk silently that empty feeling pools in your stomach once again. The thoughts of spending time with family floods your mind so rapidly it’s almost nauseating. The smell of the grill’s flames licking the hamburgers and hotdogs. There was a faded echoing of laughter of your mother bouncing around in your head. The chill of ice pouring over your head by your father. The taste of salty peanut butter cookies that one of your siblings made because they mixed up teaspoons and tablespoons. The warmth that encases your body when there was a family group hug. Tears began to form in your eyes.

‘And every night my mind is running around her’

“HeyyYYyY…” Kaminari whispers as he tugs the back of your shirt. You turn and regret not wiping your tears first. It appears he’s still partly in ‘dunce mode,’ but it’s clear that he’s worried. He tilts his head as if to ask what was wrong.

“I-I- …I’m fine. Really I am. I just spaced out that all” You chuckle trying to play it off, but it doesn’t work. He tugs your shirt again.

‘Then it gets louder and louder’

It was useless to try and fight back the tears; they just kept forming one after another. That empty feeling weighs down on your stomach causes it to ache. You cover your mouth and turn your head as the first tear breaks through and rolls down your cheek.

‘Baby, you’re like lightning in a bottle’

Once again, you can feel Kaminari tugging at your shirt, but this time it was enough to pull you closer to him. When you find the courage to look at him again, his arms are outstretched. You could only manage to give him a nod for permission. His arms wrap around you, encasing you in tonight’s scent fair food, and cotton candy. You snake your arms around him and hug him as tight as you could. He places his chin on your head and that static feeling from earlier returns. It was strangely relaxing. It rushed to circulate through your body once then pooled where his chin at on your head. The static ran a similar course through Kaminari. The longer the two of you stood there in each other’s embrace, the less everything seemed to hurt.

‘I can’t let you go now that’s I’ve got you’

      Weeks pass, and you found that you sleep easier if you spend a little time with Kaminari. You weren’t sure why he made you feel like you were home, maybe it was his dorky and memey personality that reminded you of your siblings. Or perhaps it was the way his eyes shined that reminded you of your mother. It could also be the way he laughed, just like your father. It just as easily could be the way his hugs felt like they had the same warmth and affection as family group hugs. It could be some or all of those things, but one thing stood out about him. Every time you and Kaminari touched a static feeling would rush through your body before pooling right where ever your skin touched. It was like grazing your fingers along the screen of an old tv or the shock from rubbing your fuzzy socks on the carpet and touching a doorknob. Kaminari felt it too and wonders if you felt what he did. He found himself wondering a lot about you. He fell smitten for you at first sight. To him, you were a water angel and had not only saved his life but had the generosity to walk with him back to the dorms. He enjoys every moment the two of you have together and craves more every time you part.

‘All I need is to be struck, by your electric love’

Just another touch, word, look, or hell he’d even take having just one more breath around you. You felt the same way, anything to feel normal again; he gave you that. You hated that homesick feeling that would creep up on you occasionally. Just being around Kaminari made it melt away, he was a home away from home.

‘Baby your electric love, electric love’

     Today was particularly hard for you since it was family day, and none of yours could make it due to conflicting schedules or just plain hatred of traveling. You watched your classmates enjoy a fun-filled day with their family. A few tried to include you, even Kaminari, but you simply shook your head. It wouldn’t be the same; it would just hurt more. The laughter, arguments, and sibling rivalry filled your ears, making you wish you couldn’t hear anything. The sight of others being with their families made you feel nauseous. The empty feeling you had been fighting off for so long came back full force and then some. By time family day had come to an end, the weight had tripled, and a thick tired aura surrounded your body. It was almost as if the universe could see how bad of a day you were having. Soon enough, the weather reflected your feelings. A storm of lightning and thunder rushes in while you sat on the porch of your dorm. Wanting to feel something, anything, besides the pain of being alone, you stepped into the rain. From the window of his dorm room, Kaminari spots you outside. Questions whizzed around in his head as he rushed down the stairs.

‘Drowning’

He couldn’t understand why anyone would want to be in this weather. He couldn’t understand why you would put yourself at the risk of being struck by lightning; or the risk of any danger, really. He rushes out the front door, and you spin around.

‘You make my heart beat like the rain’

“Y/N! What the hell are you DOING out here!?” Kaminari yells cautiously, approaching you. The river of tears that poured down your cheeks melded with the drops of heavy rain and was carried off by the screaming winds. Him, just him, that was all you needed.

“Surround me” You cry out with outstretched arms. Without another word, Kaminari sprints to your side, embracing you tightly in his arms. The rain around you two stops and forms a dome. You lift your head from his chest, wrap your arms around his neck, and crashed your lips against his. His electricity hit the walls of the rain dome like a plasma globe.

‘Hold me deep beneath your weight’

After getting over the initial shock, he kisses you back. The static feeling you two always felt rushed through your bodies over and over again. The sweet and longed for kiss ends. The two of you rest your heads on the other’s shoulder.

“I love you, my little Water Angel,” He whispers,
