Denki's POV:

When I woke up the next day my mind was foggy of what had happened the night before, then like a tidal wave all the memories came back.

Memories of the abuse, memories of his sister, and all the time alone with nothing but the bruises on his heart that used to be filled by the love of his parent and sister.

Tears started to brim in his eyes as the memories of that fateful day replayed repeatedly in his head. The surprise on his sister's face, the look in her eyes as she floated dead in the pool, her hair floating around her face as if she were some angelic being.

I quickly wiped the tears that slowly tracked down my face, as I got out of bed to get ready for the school day.

~Time skip to Lunch~

As I was getting my lunch, I noticed Shinso sitting in the corner of the lunch room by himself reading a book, so I decided I would join him and plastered on a smile.

As I walked up to him, I don't think he noticed me because, once I walked up next to him he was still nose-deep in his book, so I said the first thing that popped into my head, which looking back was not a very smart thing to say.

"Hey watch ya reading? Porn?" As soon as the words left my mouth his head shot up in surprise.

"O-oh hey Kami, I didn't see you there. And n-no I am not reading p-porn." Shin said hesitantly, the last part quieter than the rest.

"Haha, okay Shin if you say so." I said as I sat down next to him.

Once I started eating I noticed that Shinso was looking at me funny.

"What? Do I have something in my face?" I said wiping my face.

"O-oh no. Sorry, nothing is on your face. I was just wondering why you were sitting here." Shinso said tilting his head at me in confusion.

I looked at him as if he had grown an extra head. My mind thinking of the source of his confusion. Why would I not want to sit with him? It's not like he did something to me. Though if he had he would be dead. Shiggy is pretty protective of me.

As we sat in silence for a minute, looking at each other in confusion, I finally decided to ask him the question on my mind. "Why would I not want to sit with you?"

"Because of my quirk?" He said this as if it was obvious, but continued to look at him in confusion.

At my expression Shinso made and 'oh' face and started to explain.

"Most people tend to stay away from me after I tell them about my quirk, even of I don't use it on them. And because my quirk is voice activated, when I was younger many people would say that I made them do something to get out of trouble. Not many people want to be friends with someone who could control them at any moment, they called me a monster or a villain, said I had a villainous quirk." As he continued to explain his voice got quieter and quieter his eyes falling to look at his lap.

"After awhile not many people hung around me, and the ones that were around me fled as soon as they realized who I was. I was because of my quirk actually that my parents left me at an orphanage when I was 7. Thankfully my dad and papa adopted my soon after so I wasn't there for to long. Heh."

After he was done explaining I gave him an 'Ohhh' kind of face and said the first thing that popped into my head.

"You are not a monster, and your quirk is not villainous. You are an amazing person who is very smart and kind. I would kill to be your friend, even if you say you don't want any." as I finished speaking I smiled at him, and it was a genuine smile, something I hadn't done in a really long time.
