Hey guys, back at it again, this is the third and final MHA project I swear. I was listening to my James bond playlist for inspiration for Monsters Run, when For your eyes only, by Sheena Easton began playing. After listening to it 5 times in a row, this was born. The song is not a sad one, yet for some reason it gave me the idea of Denki and Kyoka and saddness. So I came up with this. I really hope you enjoy.

Nothing in this is mine, save for the plot.


"I'm serious! Chargebolt has never been one of the higher ranked heroes, coming in at thirty-two,but he has always had a rather large fanbase. Most of these were young ones! Can you say your ok with your kid wanting to meet him now?"

"Well let's not be hasty. Yes he has certainly been a tad more on edge, and seems to be taking his duties more seriously, but I think it's a tad early to be raising alarm. Can you look me in the eyes and say you've never had a bad week? Or month?"

"*sigh* I'm not saying that. But let's look at the facts: 1: He isn't just more serious, he's almost single-minded and abrasive. I wonder who that sounds like! 2: His rise through the ranks to number fifteen is almost scary. He seems to be getting very little rest and pushing himself. A hero like that could get themselves or others killed! And finally number 3: Seven of his last opponents had to be hospitalized before prison. Now these are bad people, but he has never had this before, and he used to have to deal with the league of villains."

"I understand that. I just think we should wait a bit before crucifying the guy! Look Chargebolt, if your out there, know that we are grateful for all that you have done. And in the eyes of my little boy, you'll always be number one, no matter the official ranking!"

"We are grateful. Just know that everyone needs rest. And if there is something else, we hope it turns out ok."*clk*


Bakugou sighed as he turned of the tv in his office. Denki's change had not gone unnoticed. The increased hours, disheveled appearance, or the increased aggression. He tried to let some of it slide because of what was going on, but he couldn't do that anymore. The last rookie he sent out had electrical burns from his carelessness. Nodding to Kirishima, he watched his best friend leave his office, then return with a pissed off Kaminari.

"What's the deal boss? Why is everyone here acting like I'm about to snap?"

The annoyance enraged Bakugou who slammed a report on his desk and stood. "What's the deal?!" He said through clenched teeth. "The 'deal' is that one of my heroes is out there losing his mind! One of my heroes fried an INTERN!" He screamed the last word, and watched the shame rise in Kaminari's eyes. He continued "The deal Denki, is that you are distracted, on edge, and reckless. All things I know well." Walking around his desk, he sat on the front of it with a sigh. "Look Denki… I appreciate the increased effort you have been giving this. Rank thirty-two to fifteen is unheard of. But I also know you aren't sleeping, eating, or relaxing."

Denki was silent. Bakugou saw that what he was saying was sinking in, and was about to continue, when Kirishima spoke up.

"When was the last time you talked to Jirou?"

Bakugou wanted to kill him. Denki's expression hardened and small sparks were coming off of him.

"Doesn't matter. Look I'll be better boss. Now, we good?"

Sighing again Bakugou spoke "No Denki. We are not good. Two days. I do not want to see you on the streets for two days. I do not want to see you anywhere but resting for two days. If I catch you not following my instructions, I will personally take you to your apartment and barricade you in. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal."

"Then we're done here."


Without so much as an acknowledgement Denki rose and stalked out of Bakugou's office, slamming the door on the way out. The intensity of the slam made Kirishima jump a bit, then he turned to Bakugou, who was already sitting down pouring two cups of amber liquid.

"Uh oh. I screwed that up didn't I?"

Bakugou simply nodded and pulled out a magazine. Kirishima was confused, as Katsuki Bakugou was not one for tabloids.

"Check the date."

Kirishima did as he was told.

"Now check the cover again. Carefully."

Kirishima did. Uncertain as to why. It just seemed like the same drivel, until closer inspection. There he saw Kyoka Jirou, in the relationship article, talking about her engagement. Rechecking the date he said "I didn't know."

"I know. He does too, but can you blame him?"

"This was a week ago?"

"Right about the same time we got a more grumpy than usual stun gun."

"So he didn't know either?"

"Word around the class is that only Momo knew. And he won't speak to her anymore."

"That's harsh. I mean she was kinda stuck there, I mean she always seemed closer to Jirou anyway."

"Kiri, she let him pine for over a year before he found out in a damn tabloid. I'm a dick, but that's harsh even for me."

"And I just made everything worse."

"….. Well time to go figure out how to fix it."

"What do you mean?"

"We're goin out."

"Ok?"

"*sigh* We are going to get help. Call Deku and Uraraka. If anyone knows this touchy feely crap, it's them."

"You got it boss!"


"...We all obviously know he's depressed. You didn't ask us here for that, so what are you trying to do Kaachan?"

"Damn your thick, Deku." Bakugou almost growled as he threw back a large gulp of whiskey. They had met at a small bar Izuku liked, and told him what was going on. Ochako had been caught up in work and couldn't make it. Izuku sipped his soda before taking a bite of his burger.

Looking thoughtful for a moment he asked "Has he talked about Jirou before this week?"

Kirishima answered "Now that you mention it, I don't think he's even mentioned her for almost two months…."

Izuku sighed. "That matches what Ochako told me. That's right around the time she came back the second time."

"I didn't know she came back." Kirishima stated, confused.

"That would be because she only came back for one day. According to Momo, after almost a year Jirou asked Denki to meet them at Momo's apartment. She was supposed to be back for the whole month and wanted to get caught up with everyone. The visit started well. They talked about her tour, about Denki's continued hero career, and Momo's new fashion line. Then the talk turned to relationships and it went downhill fast according to Momo. Jirou asked Momo first, and Momo told her about her and Shoto dating. She then turned, and instead of asking him about his own love life, she went into their usual playful insults. 'He's too immature for any girl to really fall for him', that sort of thing. Apparently this was not a good time, as Denki snapped at her which, apparently, has never happened before?" Izuku asked.

Kirishima shook his head and Bakugou said "Pichu has never had a bad word to say about her. He is always the teased, never the teaser. He lets Kirishima and I tease him, but he never retaliates. It's why we stopped."

Izuku nodded and continued "That makes sense. Anyways, this caught her off guard, and she actually apologized and he did as well. He told her that she wasn't wrong, but that he was waiting for the right one. She smiled and told him that some lucky girl would snatch him up. Momo was pretty sure she heard him say something under his breath, but she can't be sure. Well, she then gave them the big news, she was dating and it was getting serious. She told them how she had met this guy, and about their dates. Momo was ecstatic, and Denki apparently tried to be happy, but Jirou realized that it was fake. She called him out on it, and the two got in a fight so bad that they didn't speak for several months, and Jirou left that night."

Kirishima looked ashamed of his slipup earlier that day, and Bakugou's "damn" was missing all of it's usual fire. Izuku nodded and took another bite of his burger, and sip of his soda before continuing.

"Then, about a month after that, she caught him in a compromising condition with another girl and they broke it off. She patched things up with Denki during this time, but a week later she and the guy were back together after he gave her a romantic apology and begged for her forgiveness. This time though, she didn't tell Denki to avoid losing her best friend again."

Bakugou's anger was back. "But Momo knew?" Izuku nodded and Bakugou spat "With friends like that, makes ya wonder how we survived the league." Izuku shifted uncomfortably at this and ran his left hand over his mechanical right one. Katsuki kicked himself for that slip, but Kirishima stepped in to change the subject.

"So what do we do?"

Izuku sighed again. "To get him out of his depression? Be there for him. When...Ochako and I split it was you, Kaachan, Sero, Iida, and Shoto that got me through mine. Denki has never really had that many friends. So just be there for him." Izuku finished his burger and went for his wallet, but Katsuki told him not to. Nodding his thanks, Izuku got up and began to walk away, before turning and saying "And one of you needs to talk to Momo."

Katsuki almost spat his drink out. "Why?" he growled.

"Because Momo needs to tell Jirou. It can't be one of you. When Ochako told me she didn't feel anything anymore, I had no self worth. You guys gave that back, but I couldn't move on. Thankfully Itsuka told her what I was going through and we had a heart to heart. That was why I could later look at Itsuka in a romantic way, and she helped me move on. Jirou is his best friend. She means everything to him, so he needs that closure. But that's just my opinion, thanks for lunch. I'll tell mom you said hi Kaachan, though she does wish you would visit more." Katsuki simply grunted and Izuku left.

Kirishima waited for a bit, and then opened his mouth, but Bakugou cut him off. "You will be talking to Momo. You got us in this mess, I'm your boss...and I would likely cuss her out."

"ok."


The sights of the city always took his breath away. Sitting on the ledge, letting his feet dangle, Kaminari looked out across the city. "I'm just waiting for the right one." He gritted his teeth. He didn't want these memories. "One day, the right one will find you." Her voice brought tears to his eyes as the scene continued. He heard his response under his breath. "No. You won't." Closing his eyes, he felt the tears slip past regardless. The scene changed. Now he was visiting one of the children's hospitals. He was signing autographs, goofing around, and playing with the kids when he saw her. On a some celebrity talk show, they had her picture up to talk about her engagement. She had gotten engaged and hadn't told him. He went stiff, the kids were confused and concerned. He told them he wasn't feeling well and had to go. They were sad but understood. He had almost made it out, when a little girl hugged his leg. Looking down, he asked "What's that for?" She looked up at him and said "When we are sad, you make us better. I want you to be better." He didn't know how he made it out of that hospital before he broke down. His hands tightened on the rough brick ledge. Willing the pain to take the memories away.

His sorrow turned to anger at the next scene. Momo was standing in his apartment, taking in the sight of the chaos. He was sitting in a dark corner. Tear trails down his cheeks, open vodka bottle still in his grip. She was saying something, but he didn't care. When she finished, he spoke "Did you know?" he said, in a voice almost a whisper. She asked what he said and he screamed at her "DID YOU KNOW?!" She wouldn't look at him. Wouldn't speak. Instead she slowly nodded her head. He didn't remember throwing the bottle, but he remembered fixing the wall to the right of where she was standing. He remembered telling her to get out. Telling her to leave him alone. And telling her that she could take her apology and go to hell with it. He remembered her tears as she walked away,and how little he cared as he cried himself to sleep.

His memories were interrupted when he felt something sticky on his hand, opening his eyes he saw a purple orb sticking his hand to the ledge. Using his other hand to wipe his tears away,he looked at the lanky figure standing near the edge.

Minoru Mineta still was one of the shortest of their class, but it wasn't as drastic as in their high school days. His thin frame was deceptively strong, as Kaminari knew from experience, and he had a confidence around him that he hadn't had in high school. His black slacks and purple button up shirt were obviously tailored for him, as shown in the way they moved with him as he took a seat on the ledge beside Kaminari.

"Really Mineta? Sticking my hand to the ledge?"

"Don't need a repeat of the last time I found you here." Minoru's somber tone, brought back more memories Kaminari didn't want. Memories of jumping, and falling, and the dislocation of his shoulder when Mineta had grabbed his arm to save his life.

"I'm not gonna jump again. You don't need to be here."

"I didn't think you would jump the first time. And of course I do, your my friend."

Kaminari couldn't refute his argument, and didn't try. As they looked over the city, they sat in silence. Until Kaminari's phone rang. As Bullet for my Valentine's song: Your betrayal, blared from his pocket, Mineta watched as he pulled his phone out and hit the decline button. Mineta looked back at the skyline. "Momo?"

"Don't care."

"Denki….you know I'm on your side always. But Momo was your friend. She didn't want to hurt you she just-"

"Couldn't tell me that my best friend and the woman I've been in love with since middle school was still in a relationship that I had been told was over? That she had gotten engaged? She wasn't my friend, and she can go screw herself."

Mineta simply looked at his friend, and Kaminari looked ashamed. "I didn't mean that…. But for christ's sake I told her about my feelings, I went to her for advice!... and I had to find out on a goddamn gossip show!"

Mineta looked back at the skyline, thinking, before he replied "I understand….. But I want you to ask yourself: If Jirou had come to you, with a secret that could destroy her relationship with Momo, would you have told her?"

Denki looked at his feet and sighed. "You're right….I'll try and call her tomorrow."

"Good."

The two fell into silence. After a minute or two had passed Kaminari looked at Mineta. "You're not leaving till I do, are you?"

"Dude I'm not leaving your side till your in your bed and asleep. I'm sleeping on your couch." At that the two laughed and headed back down the stairs…..


So I really hope you guys will enjoy this. This is going to be a shorter series, only 10 or so Chapters I think. Releases on this will be sparse as I really want to get the emotion right for this. As mentioned this is entirely inspired by For your eyes only, and the idea of Denki having to deal with an identity crisis when Kyoka gets engaged. I am a sucker for happy endings so never fear our poor pikachu will get some happiness. Just not for a while...
