Headcanon 8
A/N: In this AU, Khalil never got shot, turned to pain killer and worked with Tobias or worked for Odell while a chip was in his brain. Instead, he's living his great life as he deserves and is on the right path and is on the road to fulfilling his dreams of going to the Olympics. Honestly, what he went through in the show was so unnecessary and tragic and he deserves better. So I gave his character here the happiness he deserved in the show.
Enjoy!
Jennifer's boyfriend, Khalil Payne comes to visit her in Japan for a week, causing her to change plans with Denki, Jirou, Mina and Tsuyu to spend time with Khalil, she felt bad about doing that out of the blue but she promises to hang out with them the next day. Denki begins to feel jealous and heartbroken that she has a boyfriend but doesn't really admit that and keeps it to himself.
The next day, she meets up with the four but this time she invites Khalil, they get to know him and they actually like him. As for Denki, he tries to not show his jealousy towards Khalil and instead, for Jen's sake and not wanting to embarrass her, tries to befriend Khalil along with the others and not risk his and Jen's friendship.
He kept letting Khalil know that he's one of Jen's best friends and told him how amazing she is and how lucky Khalil is to have her, and also brings up Jennifer's great moments when at UA, such as her fight with one of the League of Villains. Jen tries to avoid blushing by talking about her fight with Dabi and her experience being in Japan and at UA.
After getting to know Khalil, seeing that he's a really nice guy, realizing how much he loves Jen and how he makes her happy and wouldn't do anything to hurt her, he lets go of his jealousy and is happy that Jen is with someone who genuinely loves and cares about her the way he does, and he hopes she'll stay happy with him.
