Chapter 4: Where We Go From Here
Denki would say after a couple weeks that things were going great with him and Momo. And he'd say she agreed. Hell, she came over every single day since they've begun dating. Not that he minded of course. Today of all days however, his parents decided to take his siblings to work. There was some sort of special opening for kids and said that the two can come over to explore. Which was odd, since Denki knew that the company they worked at mainly involved electricity.. He didn't think too much about it.
Right now Denki sat in the middle of his spacious bed with Momo leaning up against his chest. Her back was to him and her hair was down. At the moment Denki was playing a story game that Momo, who was a non gamer and smart as hell, could follow. Denki had his arms around Momo while his hands gripped the controller, the best position for gaming with his girlfriend.
Denki could tell Momo was being antsy about something, despite how comfortable they were with each other. He'd ask her but knew Momo was the type of person to gather their thoughts before saying and doing something. So Denki was content to cuddle up with his girlfriend while playing his video game. After some moments it seemed Momo had steeled herself for what she wanted to do.
Denki watches her lean away from him and he bites his lip at the sight of her. Momo had decided to wear a tight white top that hugged her very much matured chest and curves. He then looks as she leans over the edge of the bed, her tight red shorts clinging to her long creamy toned legs deliciously.
Denki felt more than thought about how enticing his girlfriend looked bent over like that. He is shamelessly hypnotized by her rear end, imagining the possibilities-
'I. Am. A. PERVERT!' He thinks and shakes his head. He composes himself before Momo turns back toward him, her cheeks tinged with a light red, She seemed flustered he assumed.
"I got you something." She says and Denki smiles at her before taking the present. It was a small square bundle encased by white and red wrapping paper. It even had a red ribbon on it. He frowns at it, catching her off guard.
"Do you.. not like it?" She asks, almost afraid of his reaction. Denki widens his eyes before shaking his head. He gently lays the present on the bed as he grabs her waist. She bites her lip at the contact.
"Babe I don't even know what it is. I'm just caught off guard because I don't have a present for you." Denki says and Momo smiles at him.
"I didn't get you this because I wanted something in return.. my beloved. I did it because- well- um, just open it!" She says as her face heats up again and Denki smiles once more. He gives her a peck on the cheek, startling her before he opens the present up.
He tears up the wrapping paper and ribbon before he is presented with two black and blue cases. They were video games.
"Infamous and Infamous 2?" He asks in pleasant surprise and Momo perks up.
"Yes! I know you were stumped as to where you want to take your quirk.. so I did some research and the man on the cover.. the protagonist is named Cole MacGrath. They made a game about him, he was actually one of the first Heroes that ever existed in America.. and he uses electricity, like you do." She explains and Denki widens his eyes before embracing her. She yelps with a high squeak before returning it, inhaling his scent as he holds her tight.
He pulls away and kisses her passionately. So passionately that Momo almost forgets why he is kissing her. He pulls back and their mouths make a slight 'pop' as they're pulled away.
"This is the best gift ever! And this guy looks so badass!" He says and Momo smiles at him endearingly.
"I actually got the people who made the game to remake it.. this was an older version before I had them update it with the latest hardware and lore." Momo says and Denki feels his heart pound in his chest.
"W-wow, I really do have the best girlfriend ever huh?" He teases and Momo smiles before giving him a brief kiss to the lips. She then returns to her position and looks at him expectantly.
"Fire it up! I wanna see the game too." She says and Denki grins before doing so. They soon stay that way until everyone comes home.
1 Month Later
It took him a couple of weeks to complete the game with his girlfriend, and by now he has practiced plenty of different variations of using his quirk. Cole made it look so easy in the game, but putting it into practice was a whole different thing altogether.
Discharging electricity was still tricky, but Denki was almost as accurate as he was in the game. And considering he completed the story with straight headshots.. it was pretty impressive.
Right now Denki, his siblings, Momo, Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady were at Quirks n' the Works. Denki remembered that he and Momo exchanged numbers with Kamui and Mt. Lady before departing that very first training session with them. Kamui Woods told Denki to text him in case he wanted reserved supervision from him at the quirk gym.
So now for the past couple of weeks, Kamui and Mt. Lady supervised him and Momo while his siblings watched in fascination. The trick to Denki's discharge of electricity was that when he kept discharging it was an arc instead of a bolt of lighting like Cole did. So to remedy that, all Denki did was discharge his electricity in short bursts. And then it ended up having the same effect as Cole's lightning.
Right now he was helping Momo with her reaction time, trying to shoot her while she either dodged or blocked with an electric resistant shield. And speaking of shields..
"Take this!" Momo created a doll flash grenade and tossed it at Denki. The electric user smirked before popping out his own shield. There was a sound of lightning as Denki laid out a flat palm and discharged multiple bolts of electricity, creating a circle big enough to shield him.
The way that his shield worked is that he can discharge a single bolt of electricity in the air. However it would dissipate if it didn't have a continuous stream of electricity. So Denki's solution was to create a second bolt of electricity. Noticing how they kept ciphering energy from each other he created even more. Then all of a sudden he had a perfect shield with electric waves running through it.
So Denki wasn't surprised when Momo's grenade went into the shield only to turn into dust upon impact. The power of the shield was of course filtered with Denki's wattage, the more he pumped his quirk into it, the more powerful the shield got.
He just had to remember to NOT have so much electricity running in case he wanted to bash a Villain's face with it..
Right now to sum up Denki's moveset it would list as so:
Lightning Dash
Lightning Bolt
Lightning Shield
Lightning Body Armor
The last one was just him discharging his quirk normally. He might as well give it a name as it is the most commonly used variation of his quirk. Denki also subbed electricity into lightning. It sounded better and was more fitting to his nature.
Overall he was pretty happy with how his quirk training was turning out. He was still working on flying like Cole but it was harder to do than it looked. It took a lot of control, and he would need to focus heavily on it alone if he was going to be better than Cole was in the game..
'Which is a hard thing in itself when the guy quite literally defeated a powerful conduit monster.' Denki thought as he watched the grenade fizzle into dust. Momo smiled at his progress before turning away. Denki figured she was done with the cross training as she still needed to do her own work. Denki blew out a breath before powering up and jumping into the air. He didn't know how high he was, but he could definitely scale a ten story building he believed.
He tried to float by discharging his electricity in his hands and feet but the output wasn't quite the same and he just shakily landed on the ground. He remembered from Infamous that Cole MacGrath could go miles without dropping to the ground. Sure most of the time he would be leaping off of buildings but Denki felt the comparison was relative.
'I still need more training.' Denki looked at his hand before clenching it, letting lightning run through his veins.
'Once more!' Denki leaps into the air, doing his best to stay afloat. Everyone besides Momo watched with some impressed looks. Especially Denyari and Dentaro if anyone was honest.
"You're doing good! But you need more lightning in your feet! I can see them fizzling out!" Kamui said and Denki nodded, putting more power into his feet as he floated a little more before landing again. He wiped some sweat off of his forehead and decided to watch Momo for a bit.
She had a book with her to teach herself some components to her creations and Denki frowned.
He had an idea that could help her, it could be a nice surprise.
He actually had a whole remodel of her costume that he would think would benefit her more. Momo was very straightforward and not shy about exposing skin.. Denki's design was safe and practical, as well as PG-13 if he had any say in it. He's been working on drawings so he hopes Momo liked it.
Denki wiped off some sweat and continued his training, he still had some time before the U.A. Entrance Exams and he planned to ace the whole thing.
'Another round!' Denki leapt off and started drifting afloat in the air. He looked down and saw Momo with a smile on her face. He smiled back at her, after all how could he be so lucky? After another hour they finished off training. Going home just to continue another day.
1 Week Later
"When am I going to meet your parents?" Denki asks as they cuddled up on his bed. Momo held a thoughtful expression before inhaling his scent. Right now her head was in his chest and Denki held her close to him.
"I don't know.." She exhales while saying that and Denki shivers from the hot air that snuck under his black tank top. He felt Momo grab onto his right arm, trailing a caressing hand over his toned muscles.
"They've been away on business, national business. They're focusing on trade deals with people across the globe. We keep in contact every day of course, but the earliest they said they'd be back would be.. next month." Momo said and Denki could sense her sadness even without hearing it. He frowned before kissing her forehead. She flushes at the intimacy but sighs in contentment.
"I have something to show you." Denki pulls away from her briefly to hand her his sketch pad. Momo arches an eyebrow as she sits up.
"What's this?" She asks as she takes it from him and Denki blushes.
"I did a remodel of your costume. I hope you like it." He says and Momo widens her eyes before looking at his sketch.
It was a perfect portrait of her in a whole new costume. Gone was the singlet she thought of and was replaced with a crop top with red shorts.
"Does the top have an open back?" She asks in astonishment and Denki nods, pointing to where he wrote 'Open Back'. Momo then looks at the knee pads and new boots. She sees all the areas where her skin was exposed and noticed the clear lack of exposure from her front..
"I even have a little device, like a watch. It helps you read up on your creations on the fly in case you need to study or if you forget something." Denki says and Momo widens her eyes once more.
"This is- I don't even know what to say! It looks more comfortable and much more fitting for my quirk. Denki.. you.. you did all of this for me?" She asks and Denki smiles at her.
"It's the least I can do for you. I want you to be at your best out there. And.. I have a more selfish reason too." Denki says and Momo arches an eyebrow.
"Selfish? That's a new one for you. What is it?" She asks leeringly and Denki smiles before pulling her into a kiss. She gasps into his mouth and Denki uses that moment to seize control of her tongue. He manages to let her stick it out of her mouth before he grabs it with his mouth and sucks on the oral organ. Momo moans and places her hands on Denki's chest. Denki lets her lay on top of him as she straddles him.
He must've unlocked something within her because Momo right now was kissing him passionately and thoroughly. Leaving no room for breath. Denki lifts her up from her legs and plants her onto the bed. She yelps before giggling as Denki kisses her cheek, her ears, her neck, before planting one on her clothed chest. They both heave in breaths as Denki stops there, he then looks into her eyes and Momo is flushed in the face, redder than the color could ever describe.
"My selfish reason.. is because I want this-" He palms her left clothed breast into his hand and she does a little whine at the action.
"-all to myself." He nearly growls and Momo pulls him down to kiss some more. Denki feels her thrust her hips upwards to meet his own and his member begins to harden. She feels him poke her through his shorts and she moans softly.
"Denki.." She says before capturing his lips again and soon they're battling once more for supremacy. They swap spit, spear each other's tongues, and breathe all over their faces. Denki keeps a firm grip on her left breast and Momo begins to feel needy.
"Mhm! Denki!" She whines and Denki is losing control of his inhibitions. He loved the way Momo sounds, when she moans, when she says his name in desperate need, how her face turns red at the slightest sexual contact. Denki never felt more hungry than this, and Momo was ripe for him.
Momo wore a white short sleeve shirt with three buttons covering her buxom chest. Denki growls before he uses the same hand grabbing her clothed breast and undoes a button, all the while grinding his mind away against her crotch. Momo gasps when Denki digs his hand into her black bra and massages the breast underneath. The hand feels cramped in between the bra and the breast but Denki finds the space to rub her nipples.
She moans into his mouth and Denki pinches her nipple gently. The action makes her grind against him rougher, faster, harder, and Denki's mind is in a haze. No doubt Momo felt the same way as she whines and mewls all over his mouth. The electricity between them was undeniable and Denki couldn't get enough of her. Momo definitely thought the same as she rubs her clothed pussy all over his clothed cock, feeling herself reaching the edge.
"Denki! I'm gonna-"
"Go ahead baby, go ahead.." Denki whispers into her ear before he bites on the lobe, Momo gasps as she reaches her high, the climax making her curl her toes and stop her breath for mere moments. Denki feels her go shock still, right until she shivers from the multiple convulsions of her climax.
"Good girl.. That's my princess." Denki kisses her lips and Momo lays back, all tuckered out from the endeavor. Denki watches Momo as she stares up at the ceiling, her breath catching up as a sheen of sweat is layered on her forehead.
"Wow.. I've never.."
"Me either." Denki says to her and Momo clutches his hand, she feels her heart beating fast and she sits up to look at him.
"Thank you- for the drawings. I'm going to incorporate it into my Hero costume. It's really great, genius in fact." She says and Denki caresses the back of her hand, smiling at her.
"No problem, like I said. It's the least I can do." Denki tells her and Momo glows at him. She looks at her watch and smirks at him.
"We still have an hour before your parents and siblings come back.." She hints and Denki widens his eyes before smirking.
"That's quite a bit of time." Denki trails a hand up her side and Momo tingles at his touch.
"Y-yes." She breathes quickly and soon Denki nearly tackles her lips with his.
They continue like that for the whole hour.
1 Month Later
It wasn't the first time Denki visited her in her mansion, but it was the first time that he was going to meet her parents.
It was nerve-wracking.
When he entered the banquet in the hall was already under way, Momo's parents were seated. Her father was at the head of the table and her mother was sat to his left. Momo's dad wore a sleek gray suit with a black tie and a black handkerchief in his left suit pocket. Her mother wore a glowing red dress that complimented her father's suit.
Denki nearly gulped at the sight of them, so.. wealthy and so composed. Like they lived in a different world from the rest of them.
"Hello sir, hello ma'am." Denki politely bows and Momo smiles at him. The both of them approach her parents and they smile at Denki.
"So, you're the young man courting my only child." The man says and Denki gets a good look at him. He stood almost a head taller than Denki and Momo, making Denki think that it was him Momo inherited her her height from.
Her father had slicked back black hair and equally black eyes. His skin was tan and he was built like a stocked up fridge. His muscles nearly bulged out of his suit. He even had a nicely trimmed mustache that wasn't too long or too short. Simply rich in its growth.
Denki merely smiled at the man.
"I only do what I can to make her happy sir. If that's courting then I'll happily court her every day." Denki says boldly and Momo clutches her heart at his words. Momo's mother giggles in delight and Denki chances a look at her.
It was clear to Denki that Momo's mother was the one who had given her, her buxom chest. As her mother's was almost doubled in size. She also had black hair and black eyes, but her skin was lighter than her husband's. Just a shade, after all they venture outdoors often when not at home.
All in all the two were a beautiful couple, rich, powerful, and good-looking. And then he looked at Momo, the composition of two lovely human beings, creating an even more beloved person for him.
"Oh that's so sweet! Dear, I really do think they're right for each other." Momo's mother says and Denki smiles while Momo flushes once more.
"I'm Denki by the way-"
"Oh we know you son. Our dear Momo speaks of you often." Momo's father says and Denki looks at her fondly. He then looks at her mother who giggles once more.
"Often is an understatement! She messages our phones every day about how amazing of a boyfriend you are!" The woman says and even Denki feels his face heat up.
"Come, be seated you two. We'll dine and then Denki you can tell us about yourself afterwards." The man says and Denki nods. Momo sits directly to her dad's right and Denki sits beside her right side.
It took some time before everyone wasn't famished anymore and the parents of Momo took delight in asking him questions.
"So, you two met at Quirks n' the Works?" Her mom asks and Denki nods.
"Yes, I'm sure she told you.. but I opted to have her join me in my training session. There was no spots left for reserve because of all the people visiting nationally. It was the start of something incredible." Denki admits and Momo smiles at him.
"And your quirk is electricity yes?" Her father asks and Denki nods.
"I call it light now but yes, with Momo's and Kamui Woods' help I've been making leaps in progress. I am more than double the man I was ever since Momo came into my life." Denki explains and her father nods, while her mother smiles fondly.
"I didn't want to bring this up due to the positive inclination of our conversation. However I was told you have a troubled past." Her father says and Denki chances a look at Momo who looks down at the table in shame. He shakes his head and gives her a reassuring pat on the arm. Momo widens her eyes as Denki steeled himself.
"I do. And with Momo's help I am overcoming the trauma of it all every day." Denki says and Momo's father hums at that, a tone that Denki couldn't identify coming from him.
"What is it that troubles you?" He asks and Denki frowns. However Momo's mother pats the man's arm, chastising him.
"Dear that's deeply personal. This young man doesn't owe us an explanation." She says lightly and the man says nothing. Merely looking into Denki's eyes as the teen composes himself.
"No, I think it's alright. I have to be honest with you both if I'm going to be a boyfriend your daughter can call worthy." Denki says and it surprised the mother. However the man's expression is unexplainable.
The adults didn't say anything while Momo looks at Denki with worry, but also with pride.
"When I was five years old, I had awakened my quirk. I was exiting the store with my mother. We were planning to go get ice cream when she suddenly bumps into a man. A man who is muscle bound and easily seven feet in height. The man had a son, a son who wanted the toy that we just bought. It was an All Might figurine, the newest one at the time.
The son tell his dad that he likes my figurine and wants it for himself. The man says he'll be a good father to him and get him one. Mainly taking mine from me. My mother stands in the way and tries to defend me. However the man.. Kenji is his name, he picks her up by the throat and chokes her. I got angry and I felt something stirring within me. I hated the way she looked, how she looked so helpless and I wasn't able to do anything. All for a stupid toy.
I tell the man to stop, and he looks at me with.. pity or something. He throws my mom out of the way and walks toward me. Telling me that all I had to do was give the toy up and he would stop. But back then I was much more selfish, much more prideful. I could've given him the toy but I didn't. I didn't think and all I knew was that he hurt my mother for an All Might figurine that was well stocked in the store we came from.
I tell him I won't forgive him and my power floods my system. I touch him and he is shocked at the touch. I brought him to face me, looking into my eyes as I increase my power. I hear him scream to stop, begging me to do so. But I didn't. I didn't hear much during it, only focusing on his eyes and how much I wanted him to suffer for what he did to my mom. For how he made me feel helpless against him." Denki pauses to drink some water, he looks to everyone's eyes seeing the adults and Momo enraptured by his recollection. He frowns before speaking again,
"I kept increasing my power, calling upon the Heavens themselves to help me erase this man from existence. And that's what happened. When my mom tells me what she saw it still wracks my brain to this day. There was a golden beam of lightning that sprung from me and all the way into the sky. It was a sunny day but somehow I changed it into a day that clouded with gray and rained down from above.
There was lightning strikes that homed into nearby buildings around me, and all I knew was the man was screaming. I felt powerful in that moment. I watched his eyes go from a mature but youthful black, all the way until his whole body turned into dust. When he burnt up in front of me all I could taste was him being burned into nothing. It was an assortment of meat and copper in my mouth and he was nothing but ashes waiting to be swept up by the wind.
When my hearing returned, his wife, the kid's mother came running and screamed his name. That's how I came to know him as Kenji. She knelt down grasping at his ashes, trying to save what was left of him. The kid cried, and the mother called me a monster.
My own mother? She was afraid, but she looked.. prideful at what I did for her.
News spread about my power. How a five year-old could turn a grown hulking man into ash from electricity alone. How I could change the weather with enough power and destroy things around me. Me and my mom were interviewed by the police. There was nothing held against us because it was in 'self defense'. However that didn't stop the town I was living in from ostracizing me.
After all I killed a son's father, and made a woman a widow. All just to protect my mom, and for being selfish about my weakness." Denki says and the room is silent. He looks to Momo's parents who had hardened their expressions. However they didn't look angry at Denki.. at least he didn't think so. He hoped they felt rage for what his younger self went through. Only then could he be content with what they felt.
The room stayed quiet for some more moments, everyone processing what Denki had told them. His history all but laid out to bare its weight under their gazes. Momo's lips quiver, tears forming in her eyes as she heard him explain it a second time. She clutched one of his hands under the table and Denki holds onto her tightly. She feels the strength in his grip and weathers the storm that comes for him. Denki looks at her parents and the father has a thoughtful expression.
"Would you use your power to protect our daughter?" He asks and the question is so simple, so easy to answer that it catches Denki off guard.
"W-what?" Was his intelligent reply.
"I said, would you use that same power to keep Momo safe?" He asks again more forcefully and Denki nods.
"I would move Heaven and Earth for your daughter. This power that I have can do just that. No matter what, as long as I breathe and live in this universe.. I will protect Momo with my life." Denki states resolutely and the parents smile from his words. A prideful look crosses their expressions and Denki feels his heart flame up at that. His girlfriend is on the burst of tears at his declaration, using her arm's cells to create a tissue box for herself.
Denki smiles at her softly as she blows her nose.
"We approve of you Denki Kaminari." The father says and Denki looks toward him. The father smiles and sticks out a hand toward Denki. The gesture even catches Momo off guard. Denki takes the man's hand in his and shakes it firmly. The man nods in approval while his wife sighs with an open fondness.
"Ah.. young love.." She says and both Momo and Denki redden up in the face.
"Since we approve of you Denki, you may call me and my beloved wife our names." The man says and Denki nods with a smile.
"My name is Mona, dear." Mona tells Denki and the teen nods in respect to her.
"And I am Mugomo." Mugomo introduces himself and Denki smiles, nodding in respect to him as well.
"Now Denki.. Momo tells me you're good at video games?" The man asks with a delightful smile and Denki lights up like a Christmas tree.
"Good?! I'm the best!" Denki says and the man laughs.
"Do tell."
Momo watches the play-by-play and feels herself warm and fuzz up inside. Her parents approved of him and her father even shook Denki's hand. Considering he wasn't a man of physical contact unless it was with family members and people he deeply respects.. it was a huge win for her boyfriend and her.
She smiles as both her father and her boyfriend discuss the latest games on the market, even making plans to play those games together. Her heart pounds, beating with joy as Denki makes her father laugh with a joke he said.
'I suppose I know where we go from here.. thank you for being with me Denki.' She thinks and giggles as the debate between Mugomo and Denki ensues.
All is right in the world, and then they'll be taking their exams at U.A. very soon. Momo couldn't be happier.
