The silence was shattered by Denkis gasp as he fell forward, his hands and arms pressed against the desk, his eyes darted around as he steadied his breathing and stopped the tears. Aizawa began to talk
"Kaminari, are you okay? We will get recovery girl-"
"NO! I-I'm fine! It's f-fine. I-I'll just go to my dorm." Denki said quickly with slight panic in his words that he couldn't seem to shake off. Everyone looked surprised, except Ojiro.
"Denki..." His voice was shaking as if he might cry. Denki froze realising Ojiro was there, Ojiro knew almost anything. Ojiro knew why Denki didn't want to see recovery girl. "Again...? Why didn't you talk to me first..?"

Denki slowly and shakely got up, he slipped his hand out of Bakugous grip as he turned and rested his head on Ojiro, his arms were together and held gently held Ojiro shirt and Ojiro hugged him, wrapping his tail around him, they looked so close, and quite similar.
"Since when we're you two friends?" Sero asked with a slight feeling of betrayal. "You look so close you might as well be brothers."
There was silent for a few minutes before Denki slowly responded.
"Ojiro was the first person I spoke to on entrance exam day. After working together in the practical we exchanged numbers. We then proceeded to text eachother often. When school first started I sat beside him in Maths and we typically paired up during training. Then we became friends. Though we don't publicly hang out as much we tend to spend time in each other's dorms often and text multiple times a day. Because it was just us two we ended up talking about our emotions and stuff which made us closer."
Denki moved and wiped his eyes, he had been crying for 25 minutes straight so it didn't do much but at least his face was now dry.

Kirishima spoke up after a few seconds of deathening silence.
"You could speak to us you know? We would listen... And if we upset you, you can always say and we will change our attitude or behaviour"

That simple reassurance seemed to hit Denki hard, tears fell again and he walked over and hugged Kirishima. In that moment they all realised how fragile their friend was. Aizawa finally speaks up again.
"I may be your teacher but I am an adult in your life Kaminari, you CAN trust me. Not many adults are good but you can trust the UA staff with your life. Specifically, me, Present Mic, Midnight and Principal Nezu. That includes your MENTAL health aswell"
Denki continues to bury his face into Kirishima's side as he holds the crying boy close.
