[ It might take some talks and maybe therapy to sort Denki out from this. Stockholm syndrome is literally a coping mechanism during kidnappings and abuse that makes you sympathize (or even fall in love) with your captor, and it gets more muddled in the electric blonde's case when you mix in things like wanting to keep Mizudenki out of the backlash.
At least he loves Katsuki too much to even look at Kyuketsuki that way.
Whatever happened with the yakuza and the power plant threat... he would have to be involved. ]
Yeah... he said something about there being a power vaccuum left after AFO, and that's not hard to believe. We already had some assholes trying things before. This just sounded a lot more organized.
[ Denki's not going to argue that he doesn't need a whole-ass ambulance, too emotionally exhausted. ]
Hey... what happened to my costume and gear? I woke up in shitty clothes without any of it but my choker. The only thing I don't have a damn tracker in.
[ Sometimes he wears it at home and in sexy situations, and didn't want to feel like he was watched somehow. He's definitely rethinking that, now. ]
[So far Katsuki doesn't believe Denki developed any kind of Stockholm syndrome. He was polite to his captors and didn't try to fight them off, but rather behaved calmly and rationally and talked with them to learn about his situation and the things they wanted. Earned their trust and information, for reasons the explosive blonde is very suspicious of, and finally talked his way out of the kidnapping with some promises towards keeping his damn mouth shut.
That's not Stockholm syndrome! That's being a decent human being and blackmail!
Guh, he's going to be dealing with the ramifications of this for quite some time. At least Katsuki has zero thoughts at all about Denki remotely showing interest in another man.
But the truth is, whatever's going forward, Kaminari's involved and Bakugou can't tell whether that's deliberate or he's merely a lucky bonus or collateral damage to the villain.]
Aa. We've been monitoring as much as we can. Who knows what fucking contingency plans that bastard left behind anyone could snap up and reignite.
[The League's behind bars, but that's not entirely saying much when unrest still ripples below the surface in different areas. Heroes can't be everywhere at once and the ones that skulked away under the pressure are hard pressed to have any sort of welcome back upon their return.
Excuse you. A whole-ass ambulance will show up to a fucking robbery or even a fender bender if they feel it's beneficial. You're getting a whole-ass ambulance. You're bleeding with stitches, for fuck's sake!]
We found them along the original route, two pieces in that garbage truck of a Faraday cage, another in the alley, your visor on the road leading out of the power plant. Like some damn golden apples, we got slowed down finding and recovering each piece.
[A tracker here. A tracker there. Could he be on this one? What about this one? Lucky them Chargebolt's costume wasn't a massive collection of individual items, but the kidnappers figured on the trackers being in his clothes, separated said clothes, and casually tossed them along the drive to send the searchers veering off course at different increments. No fingerprints either. Not even skin cells or breath condensation. Dynamight doesn't voice those, not wanting to sound like his praising the fucking kidnappers for being skilled.]
[ Who the fuck knows, least of all Denki. He just feels really weird about it all, and the guilt makes him wonder if it would have been easier to be treated like shit. He quickly drops that line of thought, though, and instead focuses on Katsuki again.
He doesn't want to linger on his fucked-up feelings. It's going to take a while to get through this, but at least the electric blonde has one hell of a support system in his boyfriend and their friends. ]
I'm so tried of hearing the name AFO.
[ Denki admits, hating the fact that the guy left such a damn big impression behind. Even with the League behind bars or in institutions, a lot of villains still seemed to want to pick up the pieces and run their own show.
He'll be fine, but a check on the stitches might be good... plus making sure he doesn't have lasting damage from the hit, considering how much he sometimes fucks up his electric synapses already. He doesn't need a surprise aneurysm too. ]
Oh man, I'm glad my sharpshooter is okay. I did not want to have to ask Hatsume-san for a new one. [ She's still weird. ] They really put me in a Faraday cage? I must have been really out of it. I only came to at some motel later, I had no idea I was out for like a whole day.
[ It's still really blurry, but he already knows the Rubbers were super professional in their kidnapping. Even hiding his piss break! It's not surprising that they put him in a Faraday cage.
[Katsuki leans back in the seat as the car picks up speed out of the city. He wants to be out there, blasting his way across the land, but the truth is, Izuku'll get there before him, unless Katsuki wants to use Cluster the entire way there and arrive with a pair of fucked-up arms. Of course he considered it! Even intended to do it! But Jeanist firmly talked him out of it, much to his annoyance, and now he's in this car with the rest of these idiots, crowding around the phone and trying to keep Denki's spirits up while the cavalry sally forth.]
He's kind of an important guy, Denki.
[The blonde's flat tone suggests he's of the same opinion, but there's really no way around the man. He almost took over Japan and destroyed so many things along the way, turning society and the nation on its head in the process. Just like All Might inspired many heroes into being, the same could be said for All for One. And it isn't likely to stop any time soon.
Granny Stretch Lips will make sure Chargebolt's back in working order without a problem once he gets back. She's tending to others, but has trusted the paramedics in the ambulance to do her job for her until she arrives at Denki's room.]
Tch, too late. She's already demanding to see you when you get back to upgrade your gear.
[Something about sensors working in tandem with Kaminari's electricity to create a faux Danger Sense field around him. It's a good idea in theory, but Bakugou's gonna let her torture his boyfriend about it.]
Yeah. These people knew what they were doing. They had everything ready to keep you down and out until they ditched us.
[Which is annoying as fuck to admit. Katsuki blinks at the question and then snarls when Eijirou shoves his head to the side and leans into his space to talk on the phone.]
Yeah! You should've seen it! All tricked out and everything!
[ No fucked-up arms, please! How are you gonna hug your boyfriend and then shake some sense into him without them?! It's just gonna take a bit of time, plus Deku and Ingenium will keep him safe until the Bakusquad arrives.
...and it's important to keep talking to Denki. That's hard to do with boom boom in the background. ]
I know. I just feel like he doesn't deserve it.
[ It's impossible, of course - but it left a stain on Japan that even the Symbol of Peace had a hard time cleaning up. With how Re-Destro was following the teachings of Destro, villains would keep trying to take up that mantle.
He's never longed for a granny kiss in his whole life but damn if he doesn't right now. The stress is making his head throb again and Denki's done feeling weak in every way.
...then Katsuki mentions that Hatsume wants to see him anyway and he groans. He's going to have to charge her stuff for hours while she tweaks his gear. Still, a danger sense field would be badass. ]
Yeah, they were really professional. 2x4 to the head aside. [ He's still impressed. ] Hey Kiri! Really? Guess I should feel special.
[He'll use his damn legs and feet if he has to! You think he hasn't trained how to operate without his limbs? Plus he's got a mouth; he'll bite his boyfriend straight! (Well, not *that* straight...) Katsuki trusts his classmates to keep his Denki safe until the rest the help arrives.
Tenya had already commented on getting Denki and bringing him back to meet the rest o the approaching group, but the police advised against it, wanting to be on scene where Chargebolt was dropped off so they could inspect for any potential clues left behind by the kidnappers.]
It's not a matter of "deserving", Denki. [In reality, a lot of what All for One, or at least Stain and the League of Villains, said was true. As bitter a pill as it was to swallow. No one wanted what All for One did, but the world and society that came out of it was striving to be better so they wouldn't have a repeat of that monster. While he doesn't "deserve" to be remembered (according to one side), All for One *must* be remembered if they're to learn from their past.
Granny kiss within the next three hours. Katsuki might even consider sending Denki back with Izuku so he can reach Recovery Girl faster. But that'll probably be the electric hero's choice.
Hey, at least talking about Hatsume and his gear can give the other blonde something else to focus on. Something more positive, since she's always eager to create things. Perhaps not entirely "for" the specific heroes, but it's more directing her boundless energy to help and then getting out of the way once she finishes.
A fucking 2x4?! Dammit!]
They hit you with a plank?! Sorry, man. We're breaking the speed limit for you, so hang tight! And of course you're special! Blasty should be lucky you agreed to date his grouchy butt.
[ I mean, it might be awkward for other people but if Katsuki wants to hug him with his legs, Denki might be into it. Those thighs are a damn blessing. (Yeah, please don't bite him straight. In any way.)
If anyone can keep him safe until the rest of them arrive, it's Deku and eventually Ingenium. He doesn't mind waiting in this place, even if he doubts that there are any clues here. Professionals.
When Katsuki says that it's not a matter of deserving, Denki sighs and opens one of the granola bars. He knows the other blonde is right, but it was still a shit legacy that was making trouble... for heroes and for civilians, and the latter was the important part.
They can't let people suffer for mad ideals.
(He's not dying, Katsuki! He can wait for the ambulance and later Recovery Girl. He's survived five days with this injury.)
...Mei is still terrifying, but a genius. He's definitely gonna talk about getting an upgrade to his visor so he can notice things behind him. He doesn't want to ever be crept up on like that again. At least give him a chance to fight back! ]
Don't get a ticket! [ He says with a little laugh around the bar, crunching on it. ] What can I say, I'm really into that butt, and the grouchy is terrifying but hot!
[He's hugged him with his legs plenty during their relationship, though the only times other people have seen is during training moments, when Katsuki gets him in a chokehold. Or clamps around his hips and puts his hands against his head, ending up in a stand off, since he could blast Chargebolt in the face... but can he do it before the blonde fucking electrocutes him with a million volts? (Look, it's not his fault his boyfriend's got some amazing ass hips.) The occasional leg drape on the couch as well, depending on where Denki's sitting.
Unfortunately Chargebolt's the only one who's seen the extent of their professionalism, so the police are still going to do their damnest to sweep the place. Abandoned buildings can be a surprising source of information.
The ironic part is the heroes also left a very large shit legacy that made a lot of trouble for others. Even All Might's wake had ended up creating that vacuum upon his retirement that left heroes scrambling to cover for power they'd taken for granted would always be there.
Bakugou still harbors immense guilt for his part in the matter... though he's matured enough to not let it interfere with his life too much. Just... there are some nights or moments when it likes to creep back into his mind. And the occasional villain will mock him for it.]
It'd be nice if that were true.
[It's a fucking head injury! Who knows what might be bleeding in there! Though the five days part is at least a balm that keeps him from doing much more freaking out. Still... he'd be stepping on the gas harder if it were him.
She'll be happy to help him with that visor, but definitely expect her to go overboard and offer All The Things to enhance the idea. Denki'll have his hands full trying not to become her walking billboard like Iida had... Four-Eyed Idiot.]
We're in a police car! Police can't get tickets on a mission.
[Mina's all chipper when she says that, then bursts out laughing at Kaminari's response.]
DAMMIT, DURACELL!! DON'T FUCKING TELL THEM THAT SHIT!!
[Sero chimes in with some more teasing and Katsuki rages right back at him.]
[ There's a bit of laughter now, tension easing just from hearing his friends being idiots. It's so normal. Exactly what he needs right now; a reminder that outside of all this mess, things are still the same.
The new heroes have a lot to work on, but their involvement in the war has helped repair the trust in heroes to some degree, and even more once they became pros. It's a journey, but things are looking good... at least until the next supervillains come along.
(He'll stay close those nights when guilt claws its way back into Katsuki's heart, sometimes pushing him out of it with jokes, other times just being there for him.)
...police and heroes can look all they want around the casino, he's not going to. It's creepy enough as it is. ]
We should have ramen with everyone after this. At that good place near Jeanist's agency.
[ He's... not sure they can fit like 20-40 people, but a guy can dream of a high school reunion rather than this stressful mess. ]
What's Mido's ETA now, 'Toshi?
[ Denki isn't sure about time any more, no working clocks in the foyer. Hell, he wasn't great at it in the first place, and he's impatient to have someone here. ]
[Which only gets some croons from the others in the car, and Katsuki's face blows red under his mask. He's. Gonna. Murder. All of them. Sero's commenting about the last swimsuit add Dynamight and Chargebolt did, which only gets the blonde's ire rising more, and their laughter peaking further. Bastards!
People's trust in heroes was certainly regained somewhat after the war, with plenty of people growing tired of the anti-hero rhetoric by the vocal groups. Despite their faults, it's kind of hard to continue to deride the people who saved so many of their lives. Eventually logic breaks through the emotional waves.
(Katsuki's grateful to have Denki with him during those nights. Resting his head on his shoulder, sometimes explaining what's going on, other times staying silent and simply taking comfort in his boyfriend being there with him. Jokes work, silence works, sex works, eventually bringing him out of the rut.)
Oh no, they'll definitely be sending Chargebolt home while they comb the area. That's an easy decision.]
After you get released from the fucking hospital with a clean bill. [And likely after Kaminari's given the police as much as he comfortably can about the kidnappers and other detail he wants to offer. The rest of the class won't be leaving for a bit once he gets back.]
Twenty minutes. Ingenium will be about ten minutes behind him. [Shit, Deku can move.]
[ Yours, he says. It makes Denki laugh again, but warmer this time; softer. Damn right that's his ass. He can't wait to give it a little squeeze again! (They looked so good in those swimsuits, he added them to his collage underneath the paparazzi photo of his DynaBolt earrings. All the promotional work they've done in one proud frame!)
The electric blonde has always been good at reading people, and he's a surprisingly steady rock to lean on during shitty nights. Be it the LoV kidnapping or the end of All Might, he'll distract or just hold.
...after this, they might have to reverse it now and then. Despite the lack of any aggression, Katsuki was right. He was still taken. ]
Yeah, yeah. Obviously, I'm not fainting in my ramen bowl.
[ He's definitely not looking forward to all the details and full report to the police and the Lurkers agency. Especially since he doesn't want to give his kidnapper up, yet. ]
Oh man, tell Deku to not blow a gasket or something, I'm not in a fight.
[ As much as he wants to have someone here, he doesn't want them to collapse. (His heart is still in one piece.) ]
[Great. Made even worse when he hears Denki laughing at him on the phone. But hell if anyone in the group knows who Katsuki's yelling "Shut up!" to. Well, at least they can all agree it's not Hitoshi or the driver. Who is probably gritting her teeth and trying to keep a straight face in the front seat. Honestly, Shinsou should go up there and join her rather than "suffer" back here with the idiots. (Squeeze his ass in private or at least when no one's looking, dammit!)
Katsuki's prepared to be doing plenty of holding for the next several days while Denki recovers from the ordeal. It doesn't matter if he came away with little injury and currently-little endgame. He was still taken. That's enough for most people.]
Good. Fuck if I'm gonna let you breathe down your noodles.
[The police have to police. Understandably it'll be rough on Chargebolt, but any advantage they have in capturing these kidnappers will mean one more step towards someone else not having to endure the pain that Kaminari is right now. Protection. It's what heroes and the police do. But they'll be gentle with him.]
As if he's gonna fucking listen to that.
[You want him to seriously tell Izuku Midoriya "don't rush; i'm not in danger" when his friend's been kidnapped. Deku, the new Symbol of Peace.
[ Nope, he's gonna squish it in full public! Just after kissing his breath away and hiding in them tiddies.
Poor Shinsou and the driver, though. Dealing with the Bakusquad being idiots and their leader yelling at them (affectionately, as Denki would say). At least it's magically relaxing to someone who has had to deal with that on the regular. Their friend group still meet up a lot for movies, games and food.
At least Katsuki has experience with being taken, and that invaluable - he knows how it feels. They can work on the confusion and guilt together. ]
Thank you baby, I'd hate to have 'drowned in noodles' in my death certificate. Aiming for heart attack in bed at like, 90, while being railed. Best way to go.
[ Jokes™, it's a Kaminari coping method. ]
I know he's not gonna listen, but still. I'm okay. How far after them are you guys?
[BASTARD!! TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE IS NO REASON TO FLAUNT YOUR PDA AFFINITY IN PUBLIC?!
(Likely going to get away with it, even if Katsuki's a snarling mess above him.) Bastard knows his buttons.
Shinsou's leaning as far to the side as possible. If he could pull an Edgeshot, he'd be a 2D painting on the door. But alas, he's the one who opted to get in this car and now he's paying for it. Too bad he's kind of used to it by now. The pains of being in 1-A. Wouldn't change it for the world.]
DENKI!!
[His face goes full on red with that, and even Hitoshi has to snigger at the reaction. Mina's giving a cat noise and Eijirou's digging his elbow into Bakugou's sides. Probably earning himself a death warrant for later.]
At this speed, another half an hour or more.
[They're going above the speed limit, but still... 100+ miles away is a long drive.
[ PDA all the way, baby. You know you can't resist this idiot battery sucker! (He so, so knows all the buttons.)
Poor Shinsou, here to keep up with the support details and wishing he remembered to not make friends in high school. (Not.) He picked this car, though. First mistake, he could have stayed on the line.
Denki can imagine how red Katsuki's face is now and it's a heartwarming thought. Their friends being shitheads about it just makes it better. ]
Yes, babe?
[ He replies, just to be a shit. The electric blonde isn't surprised to hear that they're far behind, though. He'll chill with Ingenium and Deku for a while, or ride someone's back to meet them.
(ONCE IS ENOUGH, DAMMIT!!) ]
Oh, shit. I'm terrible. How's my parents?
[ He's not as close to his as Katsuki is to his own, but still! It's not like they don't love their kid, they just work all the time. ]
[Ugh, he's gonna grit his teeth and bear it. Might be bitching at him about it later. (Dammit but he does.) Katsuki's screwed once they get to him.
Shinsou really just needs to be up there with the policewoman and keeping track of the tracker and communications. If they bothered to stop, he probably would vehicular fire drill himself up to the passenger's seat.
DON'T FANTASIZE ABOUT HIS RED FACE! YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING IT RED WITH THOSE KINDS OF COMMENTS, DAMMIT! He's about ready to start blasting some shitheads in their fucking faces if they keep this up.]
YOU'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE!!
Blasty's so red right now, Kaminari!
Awww, Bakugou's starting to spark. He's really got it bad for you.
I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL!!
[Look, if Kaminari's gonna be a shit, then he's gonna stoke the fires and make a big boom in the back of the car. Here they are, war heroes and new pros just into the cusp of adulthood, and still fighting in the backseat like a bunch of high schoolers.
(HE DIDN'T INTEND FOR IT TO HAPPEN!)]
They're being kept informed every step of the way. They're at the hospital waiting for your arrival.
[Of course they told the Kaminaris about their son.]
[ There's so much joy in his heart when he hears all that yelling and little booms, accompanied by their friends jeering. It makes everything so much better, easing the tension and fear in his body.
He might be in for some yelling later, but this is worth it. Flustered Kacchan is adorable.
(Shinsou is probably doing exactly that as soon as he can.) ]
Of course I am, babe. You can lovingly throttle me when you get here.
[ Poor driver, it's a good thing she knows who she has in her car or that bigger boom might scare her off the road. Instead she glares at Katsuki in the rear-view mirror, also feeling like she has teenagers in her car and not beginner pro heroes.
Denki gives a relieved sigh when he hears that his parents are being informed of all that's going on. Even more so when Shinsou mentions that Aizawa went to be with them during this mess. ]
Thanks, I'd hate for them to be scared. At least I can't get grounded any more.
[It's certainly not easing tension in the back of the police car! At least not Bakugou's tension. Ducking and pulling his phone away to try and keep these assholes from taunting him more over the waves to Kaminari, leaning to the side and snarling at them for being fucking idiots! Typical class reunion for this bunch.
He's definitely gonna be in for some yelling later... Though might not be about this.
(Shinsou better hope for a bathroom break or he'll have to wait on switching up till the way back.)]
The fucking medics are gonna wanna see you before I get to that.
[Unfortunately the cop doesn't have the Aizawa glare, so she's not going to make these rambunctious heroes magically appear in their seats in complete silence. That is a gift reserved solely for that man. (And he can even do it with one eye.)
Still, he does curb the explosions. A little.]
It might be a while before you go back out on a mission.
[Not the same as grounding, but he was targeted. Just like how Katsuki was forbidden from going outside for a week after his kidnapping. Safety first.]
[ The rustling and laughter he can hear over the phone is hilarious, and they're so having at least their squad over for food later. He could use some extra hugs.
...and hey, he copes by joking, don't yell at him for that!
(Shinsou, at one brief lull in traffic; powerdives into the front seat.)
Aizawa is always going to be their homeroom teacher and mentor, and his magic still works even after retiring. The man can be terrifying, but the electric blonde knows he'll settle his parents and keep them calm. They can trust in dad-sensei.
Denki's laughter quiets a bit as he realizes that Katsuki is right. He's probably gonna have to take some time off. Hopefully paid time off, because rookie pro heroes aren't exactly rolling in dough.
Might have to see a therapist, too. He hasn't had to do that since after the war. ]
That sucks.
[ He's not going to argue, though. He's barely saved yet and he's already so exhausted. ]
...hey, the underlings that took me had quirk-limiting cuffs. Have any gone missing lately from police or agencies?
[The class will likely be down for getting together for a meal. Kaminari being the person of focus during the eats. Maybe a giant hotpot or grill so they can all face each other and fight over what's being cooked or served in the middle of the table. Sounds like a recipe for great fun and utter chaotic disaster. Jokes and hugs galore.
(Hey, the man survives and makes his move. At least the policewoman is happy to have some company.)
Bakugou's parents have also been alerted and are with the Kaminaris now to offer support and comfort. After all, their sons are a dating high-profile couple, so their families have grown closer.
Don't worry abut it. Katsuki's still gonna be working and will bring in the money. Though he might take two days off afterwards to spend with his boyfriend. The man's a major efficient person and has savings. He does well with finances just like everything else in life.
Therapy will come as Denki needs it.]
Your safety's top priority right now.
[Especially since he might be connected to a larger plot.]
[ That would probably be very good for an energetic extrovert like Denki. He thrives on chaos and friends. Reminding him of all the people who love him, and forgetting about this bullshit for a while. It will definitely be on the list after he gets out of the hospital.
...hopefully after an hour or so, not a whole day. He would like to sleep in his bed tonight.
(Good work, Shinsou!)
The Kaminaris and the Bakugous do get along pretty well, even if Denki's parents are a little concerned about momma Bakugou now and then. They're most likely leaning on eachother now, though. It's their only sons.
Oh, he knows that his boyfriend will handle it and has savings. Denki lets Katsuki do all the bills and stuff because it confuses the hell out of him and he'll miss some if he tries. He just doesn't like not contributing. Hell, Katsuki already cooks their meals since he's a disaster in the kitchen. (At least they save a LOT on electricity, Denki constantly has cords in his mouth.) ]
I know. I'm like 15 minutes away from being with the Symbol of Peace, and my Symbol of Victory is on his way with the Scooby Gang. After that, you guys have my back and our apartment is right in the city with loads of people around. [ Sigh. ] Probably why they had to lure me out on my own by making a disaster only I could handle.
[ He's still pretty sure about that larger plot, but he thinks he'll feel safe at home. That's not quite how it works, though... the mind tends to keep you afraid. ]
Shit. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since they spent so much money getting me.
[It's the main reason why Katsuki will agree to going out, even though he's still not the greatest with class-wide excursions. Denki still has to cajole, trick (ego), or drag him there most of the time. But they'll be sure to help distract him from all this crap for a while at least. And sorry, Denki, but you'll be in the hospital overnight if Recovery Girl doesn't get to you... (Odds are she will, so at least he'll be spared that.)
Hah, Mitsuki hasn't stopped getting into fights with her son and it's not likely to stop any time soon. At least Masaru apologizes in the aftermath whenever the Kaminaris bear witness to such mother/son bonding.
It works out between the two of them. Denki doesn't have to fret about the finances and Katsuki doesn't have to check over his boyfriend's work. Even if he's got a good vocab, impressive knowledge on electricity, and some surprising artistic skills, academic things are never going to be the other man's shtick. As for cooking, yeah that's on the explosive blonde too, but the electric hero gets to help out with the other chores. And being a walking generator definitely helps.
Even if Katsuki sometimes gets irked when he goes to kiss him and gets a damn cord in the mouth for it...]
They really did wanna target you specifically. That's so weird. You're good and all, but singling you out?
Mina! Kaminari's one of the most visible heroes in society right now!
This still seems more personal.
Shut up, Tanuki Eyes. We'll talk about that shit later. They targeted Denki and I'm gonna fucking rip them apart for it.
[Nope, Dynamight has no intention of being inclined to forgive and forget. It's gonna be payback when he gets his hands on those assholes who brained his boyfriend.]
Which makes even less sense they'd just let you go.
[ Denki knows when to challenge, whine or cajole his boyfriend into hanging out with the rest of their disaster friends - but more importantly, he also knows when to back off and go on his own. Sometimes his man just wants to chill, and he'll accept that. (Aww, what's a possible brain bleed when it comes to hanging with buddies??)
It's been a few years and their parents like eachother now, even if the Kaminari's were worried at first that Katsuki would be taking after his mom when it came to their son. They really did not need to know that Denki's into the grumpy yelling and murder threats, but at least that cleared everything up.
Who ever needs to pay high electric bills with Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt around? Hell, he even charges the apartment complex's generator at times. Still, he'll be chomping at the bit to go back to work eventually. He might not be a workaholic like his boyfriend, but he also gets bored. Especially if he has to stay in.
...well, at least he immediately spits out the cord to kiss? Kissing always trumps whatever else he has going on. ]
Minaaaaaa that's mean, I'm so cool! I'm super popular with fans our age and some younger ones, too!
[ He's a flashy pretty boy, of course he has fans. Denki can't quite disagree on the comment on this being more personal, though. Kyuketsuki seemed to be a fan, but it was one thing to be a fan and another to Annie Wilkes him. ]
[It's a balance. Denki's willingness to back off when he's not feeling it convinces Katsuki to go even when he isn't. More often than expected at last. Then again, the anti-social guy's been hauled off to plenty of things before, from trips to concerts to camps to other shit he went growling and muttering about. (Don't make Granny mad. She's bitched at All Might for less than an aneurysm.)
RIP the Kaminari's. Katsuki's long since taken after his mother. At least he doesn't smack Denki on the head as often as he's banged on Eijirou's over the years? Not that he doesn't... especially cause Denki's not afraid to smack him either. Kudos to the electric blonde for those pair of balls. It's just too bad for him that Katsuki's well aware of that boner pushing against his trousers when he fists his boyfriend by the shirt and hauls him up to his face to snarl at him.
Katsuki also sees powering the electrics around their home as training for his boyfriend, since he can't go full 2 Million Volts on the damn microwave, but rather has to keep a constant stream at the required wattage while also focusing on the other electronics as well, all without blowing anyone's fuse or circuits. The other thing is... dealing with neighbors who want to ask Chargebolt to power their things ("just for a moment" they promise, "FUCK OFF!!" Katsuki responds and slams the door in their face). Someday they're gonna get a fucking house and he Can't Wait For It.
But he's too proud to accept financial help with that house from their parents and isn't ready to take out a loan yet until he and Denki get more financially secure in their heroics. After all, Japan's still recovering from the war and there's an ongoing issue with the heroes who cowered out under public pressure still wanting to get paid... It's a mess.]
Oh oh oh! Was the kidnapper someone your age?! Was this some kind of maniac fan wanting to keep you with them forever?
HE ALREADY SAID THE BASTARD WANTED TO RESCUE HIM, IDIOT!! STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!!
[There's an obvious shade of crazy fan about this and it's both extremely unnerving to all of them and strangely curious as well. None of them have yet to experience a "crazed fan" obsession before, despite there being stories about them in other Pro Heroes' lives before. Denki's the first to get such a thing...]
[ That's why they work as a couple. They compliment each other, challenge each other and lift each other up. Denki takes Katsuki out of his shell and Katsuki teaches him the value of quiet moments. Sure, they argue a lot, but half of the time it's foreplay and the other half is dumb shit. He's the first to admit he does some stupid shit sometimes, but he's not afraid to snap it right back, either.
Denki doubts his boyfriend would have been happy with someone who doesn't call him out on his bullshit.
It is good training, and he's getting better and better at it all the time. His limit has raised and him fine control is so much better than when they were in UA. Still no lightning sword, but one day...
(Okay, their neighbors can get his help now and then to jumpstart their car or something, but Katsuki has rubbed off on him and he's pretty good at refusing. More politely than his boyfriend, but still.)
A house is going to be so great. Denki's parents are also well-off and could provide some aid in paying for one, but he's with his proud explosive man there. While he can be lazy and mooch sometimes, he also wants them to do this on their own. It's going to be theirs. Fairly and with hard work. ]
He was around my age, yeah. Said some slightly creepy stuff first but I doubt that was the point. He was more worried about me than anything.
[ Hot twinks get all the fangirls and boys, some of them weird. ]
Ten minutes. Wow. Make sure he doesn't like, blow through the whole place or something.

At least he loves Katsuki too much to even look at Kyuketsuki that way.
Whatever happened with the yakuza and the power plant threat... he would have to be involved. ]
Yeah... he said something about there being a power vaccuum left after AFO, and that's not hard to believe. We already had some assholes trying things before. This just sounded a lot more organized.
[ Denki's not going to argue that he doesn't need a whole-ass ambulance, too emotionally exhausted. ]
Hey... what happened to my costume and gear? I woke up in shitty clothes without any of it but my choker. The only thing I don't have a damn tracker in.
[ Sometimes he wears it at home and in sexy situations, and didn't want to feel like he was watched somehow. He's definitely rethinking that, now. ]
no subject
[So far Katsuki doesn't believe Denki developed any kind of Stockholm syndrome. He was polite to his captors and didn't try to fight them off, but rather behaved calmly and rationally and talked with them to learn about his situation and the things they wanted. Earned their trust and information, for reasons the explosive blonde is very suspicious of, and finally talked his way out of the kidnapping with some promises towards keeping his damn mouth shut.
That's not Stockholm syndrome! That's being a decent human being and blackmail!
Guh, he's going to be dealing with the ramifications of this for quite some time. At least Katsuki has zero thoughts at all about Denki remotely showing interest in another man.
But the truth is, whatever's going forward, Kaminari's involved and Bakugou can't tell whether that's deliberate or he's merely a lucky bonus or collateral damage to the villain.]
Aa. We've been monitoring as much as we can. Who knows what fucking contingency plans that bastard left behind anyone could snap up and reignite.
[The League's behind bars, but that's not entirely saying much when unrest still ripples below the surface in different areas. Heroes can't be everywhere at once and the ones that skulked away under the pressure are hard pressed to have any sort of welcome back upon their return.
Excuse you. A whole-ass ambulance will show up to a fucking robbery or even a fender bender if they feel it's beneficial. You're getting a whole-ass ambulance. You're bleeding with stitches, for fuck's sake!]
We found them along the original route, two pieces in that garbage truck of a Faraday cage, another in the alley, your visor on the road leading out of the power plant. Like some damn golden apples, we got slowed down finding and recovering each piece.
[A tracker here. A tracker there. Could he be on this one? What about this one? Lucky them Chargebolt's costume wasn't a massive collection of individual items, but the kidnappers figured on the trackers being in his clothes, separated said clothes, and casually tossed them along the drive to send the searchers veering off course at different increments. No fingerprints either. Not even skin cells or breath condensation. Dynamight doesn't voice those, not wanting to sound like his praising the fucking kidnappers for being skilled.]
Your gear's unharmed.
no subject
He doesn't want to linger on his fucked-up feelings. It's going to take a while to get through this, but at least the electric blonde has one hell of a support system in his boyfriend and their friends. ]
I'm so tried of hearing the name AFO.
[ Denki admits, hating the fact that the guy left such a damn big impression behind. Even with the League behind bars or in institutions, a lot of villains still seemed to want to pick up the pieces and run their own show.
He'll be fine, but a check on the stitches might be good... plus making sure he doesn't have lasting damage from the hit, considering how much he sometimes fucks up his electric synapses already. He doesn't need a surprise aneurysm too. ]
Oh man, I'm glad my sharpshooter is okay. I did not want to have to ask Hatsume-san for a new one. [ She's still weird. ] They really put me in a Faraday cage? I must have been really out of it. I only came to at some motel later, I had no idea I was out for like a whole day.
[ It's still really blurry, but he already knows the Rubbers were super professional in their kidnapping. Even hiding his piss break! It's not surprising that they put him in a Faraday cage.
...wait. ]
I was in a garbage truck??!
no subject
He's kind of an important guy, Denki.
[The blonde's flat tone suggests he's of the same opinion, but there's really no way around the man. He almost took over Japan and destroyed so many things along the way, turning society and the nation on its head in the process. Just like All Might inspired many heroes into being, the same could be said for All for One. And it isn't likely to stop any time soon.
Granny Stretch Lips will make sure Chargebolt's back in working order without a problem once he gets back. She's tending to others, but has trusted the paramedics in the ambulance to do her job for her until she arrives at Denki's room.]
Tch, too late. She's already demanding to see you when you get back to upgrade your gear.
[Something about sensors working in tandem with Kaminari's electricity to create a faux Danger Sense field around him. It's a good idea in theory, but Bakugou's gonna let her torture his boyfriend about it.]
Yeah. These people knew what they were doing. They had everything ready to keep you down and out until they ditched us.
[Which is annoying as fuck to admit. Katsuki blinks at the question and then snarls when Eijirou shoves his head to the side and leans into his space to talk on the phone.]
Yeah! You should've seen it! All tricked out and everything!
no subject
...and it's important to keep talking to Denki. That's hard to do with boom boom in the background. ]
I know. I just feel like he doesn't deserve it.
[ It's impossible, of course - but it left a stain on Japan that even the Symbol of Peace had a hard time cleaning up. With how Re-Destro was following the teachings of Destro, villains would keep trying to take up that mantle.
He's never longed for a granny kiss in his whole life but damn if he doesn't right now. The stress is making his head throb again and Denki's done feeling weak in every way.
...then Katsuki mentions that Hatsume wants to see him anyway and he groans. He's going to have to charge her stuff for hours while she tweaks his gear. Still, a danger sense field would be badass. ]
Yeah, they were really professional. 2x4 to the head aside. [ He's still impressed. ] Hey Kiri! Really? Guess I should feel special.
no subject
Tenya had already commented on getting Denki and bringing him back to meet the rest o the approaching group, but the police advised against it, wanting to be on scene where Chargebolt was dropped off so they could inspect for any potential clues left behind by the kidnappers.]
It's not a matter of "deserving", Denki. [In reality, a lot of what All for One, or at least Stain and the League of Villains, said was true. As bitter a pill as it was to swallow. No one wanted what All for One did, but the world and society that came out of it was striving to be better so they wouldn't have a repeat of that monster. While he doesn't "deserve" to be remembered (according to one side), All for One *must* be remembered if they're to learn from their past.
Granny kiss within the next three hours. Katsuki might even consider sending Denki back with Izuku so he can reach Recovery Girl faster. But that'll probably be the electric hero's choice.
Hey, at least talking about Hatsume and his gear can give the other blonde something else to focus on. Something more positive, since she's always eager to create things. Perhaps not entirely "for" the specific heroes, but it's more directing her boundless energy to help and then getting out of the way once she finishes.
A fucking 2x4?! Dammit!]
They hit you with a plank?! Sorry, man. We're breaking the speed limit for you, so hang tight! And of course you're special! Blasty should be lucky you agreed to date his grouchy butt.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, SHITTY HAIR!!
no subject
If anyone can keep him safe until the rest of them arrive, it's Deku and eventually Ingenium. He doesn't mind waiting in this place, even if he doubts that there are any clues here. Professionals.
When Katsuki says that it's not a matter of deserving, Denki sighs and opens one of the granola bars. He knows the other blonde is right, but it was still a shit legacy that was making trouble... for heroes and for civilians, and the latter was the important part.
They can't let people suffer for mad ideals.
(He's not dying, Katsuki! He can wait for the ambulance and later Recovery Girl. He's survived five days with this injury.)
...Mei is still terrifying, but a genius. He's definitely gonna talk about getting an upgrade to his visor so he can notice things behind him. He doesn't want to ever be crept up on like that again. At least give him a chance to fight back! ]
Don't get a ticket! [ He says with a little laugh around the bar, crunching on it. ] What can I say, I'm really into that butt, and the grouchy is terrifying but hot!
no subject
Unfortunately Chargebolt's the only one who's seen the extent of their professionalism, so the police are still going to do their damnest to sweep the place. Abandoned buildings can be a surprising source of information.
The ironic part is the heroes also left a very large shit legacy that made a lot of trouble for others. Even All Might's wake had ended up creating that vacuum upon his retirement that left heroes scrambling to cover for power they'd taken for granted would always be there.
Bakugou still harbors immense guilt for his part in the matter... though he's matured enough to not let it interfere with his life too much. Just... there are some nights or moments when it likes to creep back into his mind. And the occasional villain will mock him for it.]
It'd be nice if that were true.
[It's a fucking head injury! Who knows what might be bleeding in there! Though the five days part is at least a balm that keeps him from doing much more freaking out. Still... he'd be stepping on the gas harder if it were him.
She'll be happy to help him with that visor, but definitely expect her to go overboard and offer All The Things to enhance the idea. Denki'll have his hands full trying not to become her walking billboard like Iida had... Four-Eyed Idiot.]
We're in a police car! Police can't get tickets on a mission.
[Mina's all chipper when she says that, then bursts out laughing at Kaminari's response.]
DAMMIT, DURACELL!! DON'T FUCKING TELL THEM THAT SHIT!!
[Sero chimes in with some more teasing and Katsuki rages right back at him.]
no subject
[ There's a bit of laughter now, tension easing just from hearing his friends being idiots. It's so normal. Exactly what he needs right now; a reminder that outside of all this mess, things are still the same.
The new heroes have a lot to work on, but their involvement in the war has helped repair the trust in heroes to some degree, and even more once they became pros. It's a journey, but things are looking good... at least until the next supervillains come along.
(He'll stay close those nights when guilt claws its way back into Katsuki's heart, sometimes pushing him out of it with jokes, other times just being there for him.)
...police and heroes can look all they want around the casino, he's not going to. It's creepy enough as it is. ]
We should have ramen with everyone after this. At that good place near Jeanist's agency.
[ He's... not sure they can fit like 20-40 people, but a guy can dream of a high school reunion rather than this stressful mess. ]
What's Mido's ETA now, 'Toshi?
[ Denki isn't sure about time any more, no working clocks in the foyer. Hell, he wasn't great at it in the first place, and he's impatient to have someone here. ]
Don't you national ass me, Helen Zass.
[Which only gets some croons from the others in the car, and Katsuki's face blows red under his mask. He's. Gonna. Murder. All of them. Sero's commenting about the last swimsuit add Dynamight and Chargebolt did, which only gets the blonde's ire rising more, and their laughter peaking further. Bastards!
People's trust in heroes was certainly regained somewhat after the war, with plenty of people growing tired of the anti-hero rhetoric by the vocal groups. Despite their faults, it's kind of hard to continue to deride the people who saved so many of their lives. Eventually logic breaks through the emotional waves.
(Katsuki's grateful to have Denki with him during those nights. Resting his head on his shoulder, sometimes explaining what's going on, other times staying silent and simply taking comfort in his boyfriend being there with him. Jokes work, silence works, sex works, eventually bringing him out of the rut.)
Oh no, they'll definitely be sending Chargebolt home while they comb the area. That's an easy decision.]
After you get released from the fucking hospital with a clean bill. [And likely after Kaminari's given the police as much as he comfortably can about the kidnappers and other detail he wants to offer. The rest of the class won't be leaving for a bit once he gets back.]
Twenty minutes. Ingenium will be about ten minutes behind him. [Shit, Deku can move.]
;)
The electric blonde has always been good at reading people, and he's a surprisingly steady rock to lean on during shitty nights. Be it the LoV kidnapping or the end of All Might, he'll distract or just hold.
...after this, they might have to reverse it now and then. Despite the lack of any aggression, Katsuki was right. He was still taken. ]
Yeah, yeah. Obviously, I'm not fainting in my ramen bowl.
[ He's definitely not looking forward to all the details and full report to the police and the Lurkers agency. Especially since he doesn't want to give his kidnapper up, yet. ]
Oh man, tell Deku to not blow a gasket or something, I'm not in a fight.
[ As much as he wants to have someone here, he doesn't want them to collapse. (His heart is still in one piece.) ]
no subject
Katsuki's prepared to be doing plenty of holding for the next several days while Denki recovers from the ordeal. It doesn't matter if he came away with little injury and currently-little endgame. He was still taken. That's enough for most people.]
Good. Fuck if I'm gonna let you breathe down your noodles.
[The police have to police. Understandably it'll be rough on Chargebolt, but any advantage they have in capturing these kidnappers will mean one more step towards someone else not having to endure the pain that Kaminari is right now. Protection. It's what heroes and the police do. But they'll be gentle with him.]
As if he's gonna fucking listen to that.
[You want him to seriously tell Izuku Midoriya "don't rush; i'm not in danger" when his friend's been kidnapped. Deku, the new Symbol of Peace.
(WOW. Low blow.)]
no subject
Poor Shinsou and the driver, though. Dealing with the Bakusquad being idiots and their leader yelling at them (affectionately, as Denki would say). At least it's magically relaxing to someone who has had to deal with that on the regular. Their friend group still meet up a lot for movies, games and food.
At least Katsuki has experience with being taken, and that invaluable - he knows how it feels. They can work on the confusion and guilt together. ]
Thank you baby, I'd hate to have 'drowned in noodles' in my death certificate. Aiming for heart attack in bed at like, 90, while being railed. Best way to go.
[ Jokes™, it's a Kaminari coping method. ]
I know he's not gonna listen, but still. I'm okay. How far after them are you guys?
[ (Hey. It's the truth. Stop dying.) ]
no subject
(Likely going to get away with it, even if Katsuki's a snarling mess above him.) Bastard knows his buttons.
Shinsou's leaning as far to the side as possible. If he could pull an Edgeshot, he'd be a 2D painting on the door. But alas, he's the one who opted to get in this car and now he's paying for it. Too bad he's kind of used to it by now. The pains of being in 1-A. Wouldn't change it for the world.]
DENKI!!
[His face goes full on red with that, and even Hitoshi has to snigger at the reaction. Mina's giving a cat noise and Eijirou's digging his elbow into Bakugou's sides. Probably earning himself a death warrant for later.]
At this speed, another half an hour or more.
[They're going above the speed limit, but still... 100+ miles away is a long drive.
(HE ONLY DIED ONCE!!)]
no subject
Poor Shinsou, here to keep up with the support details and wishing he remembered to not make friends in high school. (Not.) He picked this car, though. First mistake, he could have stayed on the line.
Denki can imagine how red Katsuki's face is now and it's a heartwarming thought. Their friends being shitheads about it just makes it better. ]
Yes, babe?
[ He replies, just to be a shit. The electric blonde isn't surprised to hear that they're far behind, though. He'll chill with Ingenium and Deku for a while, or ride someone's back to meet them.
(ONCE IS ENOUGH, DAMMIT!!) ]
Oh, shit. I'm terrible. How's my parents?
[ He's not as close to his as Katsuki is to his own, but still! It's not like they don't love their kid, they just work all the time. ]
no subject
Shinsou really just needs to be up there with the policewoman and keeping track of the tracker and communications. If they bothered to stop, he probably would vehicular fire drill himself up to the passenger's seat.
DON'T FANTASIZE ABOUT HIS RED FACE! YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING IT RED WITH THOSE KINDS OF COMMENTS, DAMMIT! He's about ready to start blasting some shitheads in their fucking faces if they keep this up.]
YOU'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE!!
Blasty's so red right now, Kaminari!
Awww, Bakugou's starting to spark. He's really got it bad for you.
I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL!!
[Look, if Kaminari's gonna be a shit, then he's gonna stoke the fires and make a big boom in the back of the car. Here they are, war heroes and new pros just into the cusp of adulthood, and still fighting in the backseat like a bunch of high schoolers.
(HE DIDN'T INTEND FOR IT TO HAPPEN!)]
They're being kept informed every step of the way. They're at the hospital waiting for your arrival.
[Of course they told the Kaminaris about their son.]
no subject
He might be in for some yelling later, but this is worth it. Flustered Kacchan is adorable.
(Shinsou is probably doing exactly that as soon as he can.) ]
Of course I am, babe. You can lovingly throttle me when you get here.
[ Poor driver, it's a good thing she knows who she has in her car or that bigger boom might scare her off the road. Instead she glares at Katsuki in the rear-view mirror, also feeling like she has teenagers in her car and not beginner pro heroes.
Denki gives a relieved sigh when he hears that his parents are being informed of all that's going on. Even more so when Shinsou mentions that Aizawa went to be with them during this mess. ]
Thanks, I'd hate for them to be scared. At least I can't get grounded any more.
no subject
He's definitely gonna be in for some yelling later... Though might not be about this.
(Shinsou better hope for a bathroom break or he'll have to wait on switching up till the way back.)]
The fucking medics are gonna wanna see you before I get to that.
[Unfortunately the cop doesn't have the Aizawa glare, so she's not going to make these rambunctious heroes magically appear in their seats in complete silence. That is a gift reserved solely for that man. (And he can even do it with one eye.)
Still, he does curb the explosions. A little.]
It might be a while before you go back out on a mission.
[Not the same as grounding, but he was targeted. Just like how Katsuki was forbidden from going outside for a week after his kidnapping. Safety first.]
no subject
...and hey, he copes by joking, don't yell at him for that!
(Shinsou, at one brief lull in traffic; powerdives into the front seat.)
Aizawa is always going to be their homeroom teacher and mentor, and his magic still works even after retiring. The man can be terrifying, but the electric blonde knows he'll settle his parents and keep them calm. They can trust in dad-sensei.
Denki's laughter quiets a bit as he realizes that Katsuki is right. He's probably gonna have to take some time off. Hopefully paid time off, because rookie pro heroes aren't exactly rolling in dough.
Might have to see a therapist, too. He hasn't had to do that since after the war. ]
That sucks.
[ He's not going to argue, though. He's barely saved yet and he's already so exhausted. ]
...hey, the underlings that took me had quirk-limiting cuffs. Have any gone missing lately from police or agencies?
no subject
(Hey, the man survives and makes his move. At least the policewoman is happy to have some company.)
Bakugou's parents have also been alerted and are with the Kaminaris now to offer support and comfort. After all, their sons are a dating high-profile couple, so their families have grown closer.
Don't worry abut it. Katsuki's still gonna be working and will bring in the money. Though he might take two days off afterwards to spend with his boyfriend. The man's a major efficient person and has savings. He does well with finances just like everything else in life.
Therapy will come as Denki needs it.]
Your safety's top priority right now.
[Especially since he might be connected to a larger plot.]
No. They likely got them from the black market.
[Or the shady side of Detnerat.]
no subject
...hopefully after an hour or so, not a whole day. He would like to sleep in his bed tonight.
(Good work, Shinsou!)
The Kaminaris and the Bakugous do get along pretty well, even if Denki's parents are a little concerned about momma Bakugou now and then. They're most likely leaning on eachother now, though. It's their only sons.
Oh, he knows that his boyfriend will handle it and has savings. Denki lets Katsuki do all the bills and stuff because it confuses the hell out of him and he'll miss some if he tries. He just doesn't like not contributing. Hell, Katsuki already cooks their meals since he's a disaster in the kitchen. (At least they save a LOT on electricity, Denki constantly has cords in his mouth.) ]
I know. I'm like 15 minutes away from being with the Symbol of Peace, and my Symbol of Victory is on his way with the Scooby Gang. After that, you guys have my back and our apartment is right in the city with loads of people around. [ Sigh. ] Probably why they had to lure me out on my own by making a disaster only I could handle.
[ He's still pretty sure about that larger plot, but he thinks he'll feel safe at home. That's not quite how it works, though... the mind tends to keep you afraid. ]
Shit. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since they spent so much money getting me.
[ A GARBAGE TRUCK. ]
no subject
Hah, Mitsuki hasn't stopped getting into fights with her son and it's not likely to stop any time soon. At least Masaru apologizes in the aftermath whenever the Kaminaris bear witness to such mother/son bonding.
It works out between the two of them. Denki doesn't have to fret about the finances and Katsuki doesn't have to check over his boyfriend's work. Even if he's got a good vocab, impressive knowledge on electricity, and some surprising artistic skills, academic things are never going to be the other man's shtick. As for cooking, yeah that's on the explosive blonde too, but the electric hero gets to help out with the other chores. And being a walking generator definitely helps.
Even if Katsuki sometimes gets irked when he goes to kiss him and gets a damn cord in the mouth for it...]
They really did wanna target you specifically. That's so weird. You're good and all, but singling you out?
Mina! Kaminari's one of the most visible heroes in society right now!
This still seems more personal.
Shut up, Tanuki Eyes. We'll talk about that shit later. They targeted Denki and I'm gonna fucking rip them apart for it.
[Nope, Dynamight has no intention of being inclined to forgive and forget. It's gonna be payback when he gets his hands on those assholes who brained his boyfriend.]
Which makes even less sense they'd just let you go.
no subject
It's been a few years and their parents like eachother now, even if the Kaminari's were worried at first that Katsuki would be taking after his mom when it came to their son. They really did not need to know that Denki's into the grumpy yelling and murder threats, but at least that cleared everything up.
Who ever needs to pay high electric bills with Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt around? Hell, he even charges the apartment complex's generator at times. Still, he'll be chomping at the bit to go back to work eventually. He might not be a workaholic like his boyfriend, but he also gets bored. Especially if he has to stay in.
...well, at least he immediately spits out the cord to kiss? Kissing always trumps whatever else he has going on. ]
Minaaaaaa that's mean, I'm so cool! I'm super popular with fans our age and some younger ones, too!
[ He's a flashy pretty boy, of course he has fans. Denki can't quite disagree on the comment on this being more personal, though. Kyuketsuki seemed to be a fan, but it was one thing to be a fan and another to Annie Wilkes him. ]
I know. It's a little freaky.
no subject
RIP the Kaminari's. Katsuki's long since taken after his mother. At least he doesn't smack Denki on the head as often as he's banged on Eijirou's over the years? Not that he doesn't... especially cause Denki's not afraid to smack him either. Kudos to the electric blonde for those pair of balls. It's just too bad for him that Katsuki's well aware of that boner pushing against his trousers when he fists his boyfriend by the shirt and hauls him up to his face to snarl at him.
Katsuki also sees powering the electrics around their home as training for his boyfriend, since he can't go full 2 Million Volts on the damn microwave, but rather has to keep a constant stream at the required wattage while also focusing on the other electronics as well, all without blowing anyone's fuse or circuits. The other thing is... dealing with neighbors who want to ask Chargebolt to power their things ("just for a moment" they promise, "FUCK OFF!!" Katsuki responds and slams the door in their face). Someday they're gonna get a fucking house and he Can't Wait For It.
But he's too proud to accept financial help with that house from their parents and isn't ready to take out a loan yet until he and Denki get more financially secure in their heroics. After all, Japan's still recovering from the war and there's an ongoing issue with the heroes who cowered out under public pressure still wanting to get paid... It's a mess.]
Oh oh oh! Was the kidnapper someone your age?! Was this some kind of maniac fan wanting to keep you with them forever?
HE ALREADY SAID THE BASTARD WANTED TO RESCUE HIM, IDIOT!! STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!!
[There's an obvious shade of crazy fan about this and it's both extremely unnerving to all of them and strangely curious as well. None of them have yet to experience a "crazed fan" obsession before, despite there being stories about them in other Pro Heroes' lives before. Denki's the first to get such a thing...]
Ten minutes, Chargebolt.
[He's coming in fast.]
no subject
Denki doubts his boyfriend would have been happy with someone who doesn't call him out on his bullshit.
It is good training, and he's getting better and better at it all the time. His limit has raised and him fine control is so much better than when they were in UA. Still no lightning sword, but one day...
(Okay, their neighbors can get his help now and then to jumpstart their car or something, but Katsuki has rubbed off on him and he's pretty good at refusing. More politely than his boyfriend, but still.)
A house is going to be so great. Denki's parents are also well-off and could provide some aid in paying for one, but he's with his proud explosive man there. While he can be lazy and mooch sometimes, he also wants them to do this on their own. It's going to be theirs. Fairly and with hard work. ]
He was around my age, yeah. Said some slightly creepy stuff first but I doubt that was the point. He was more worried about me than anything.
[ Hot twinks get all the fangirls and boys, some of them weird. ]
Ten minutes. Wow. Make sure he doesn't like, blow through the whole place or something.
