Catch Me (5 Times Denki's Friends Catch Him + 1 Time Someone Else Does)

WARNINGS: Seizures
I'm not dead, surprise? Uh, I have school and more actual friends (ones that I can see outside of class even!) so I write less but don't be surprised if my updates pick up in the next few months. Anyways, this chapter is brought to you by the fact that I have seizures and a girlfriend (!) who's into MHA, and today's our 3 month anniversary (at least it is when I'm writing it). I can't see her today but I can write this instead so y'know close enough. Seizure experiences are based off my own, though my seizures are non-epileptic so there might be discrepancies (blame them on the fact that Denki's seizures would be quirk-induced), and there will be a lot of perspective switches so just be prepared, the sections will all start in Denki's pov and switch as marked by ~*~. This was also lowkey an exercise in switching pronouns, since I've never done that in writing before, though the only people who use multiple pronouns for Denki, other than themselves, are Jirou and Shinso, since those are the only people they've come out to in this.

1. Jirou

The first day at UA High was exciting and nerve-wracking in equal measures, but Denki was glad that Kyouka was there with him. They'd been through almost everything together since elementary school, from first crushes to gender crises, and he was glad that she was always a presence at their side.

Especially right now, as they went to lunch. He'd quickly found a group of people he meshed with pretty well, though most of them were too loud for Kyouka (save Bakugo, who was loud in an entirely different way and had to be dragged to sit with them at the table. Denki had a gut feeling that he'd be a good friend though, and Kyouka didn't mind him, so with him they sat), but even with the whole "who would he sit with" situation figured out it was nice to know that there was someone they didn't run the risk of being "too much" for (not to mention that he didn't have to worry about her finding someone else she was comfortable enough to sit with, or whether she was hiding out in the library instead).

The conversation was flowing well, Bakugo chipping in every once in awhile and Kyouka reacting despite staying mostly quiet at his side, when the familiar fog settled over his head and his stomach filled with dread (not all of it from the aura). Not now, please not now, but of course his brain never cared about when the timing was convenient. Kyouka nudged them under the table, but they only had time to address the group as a whole before it went dark.

"Don' fffreak ou'."

~*~

It came as second nature to Kyouka to scoot her friend's tray away and hold her hand in place to catch their forehead. From the look of things it came on quickly, but she wouldn't be surprised if it had been brewing since this morning (if she didn't get much sleep she couldn't imagine the blonde had, from all the upcoming excitement). She heard gasps from the group around her, though thankfully not spread through the entire cafeteria, followed by the redhead (Kirishima?) speaking up.

"I'll go get-!"

"No need, he'll be fine in a second." True to her word, Denki was already stirring, taking back the weight of his head, though his eyes were still half-lidded.

"I-I think this is something Sensei should know about, though." piped up the pink girl, she was pretty sure her name was Ashido.

"Denki and Sensei have already talked about this, they'll let him know on our way back into class. It's fine, really." A soft groan rang out, one that she felt more than heard from the chest pressed against her side. "You back?"

"Yeah... yeah, I'm fine." They turned sheepishly to the worried eyes around them. "Sorry, guys."

"Don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault, Dunce Face, what the fuck was that?!"
