Class 1a, the class of adorable demons

Some Much Needed Comfort

Denki groaned softly as he slowly cracked his eyes opened and stared up at the white ceiling above him. He blinked a few times in confusion before he slowly turned his head so that he could look around, it looked like he was in the infirmary but Recovery Girl was nowhere to be seen. He started to sit up carefully due to his muscles still being very sore when the door opened and Aizawa walked in looking drained.

"Oh good your awake" He remarked as he approached the blonde and plopped down onto the chair next to the bed.

"Mr. Aizawa? What happened?" Denki asked softly causing a deep frown to appear on his teachers face.

"Your parents happened" He stated simply causing Denki to flinch slightly as his memories returned to him in a flash.

"Oh, right" He mumbled softly as he stared down at his hands before he glanced back up at Aizawa with a worried look on his face.

"Where are they?" He asked worriedly causing Aizawa to place his hand gently on the blonde's shoulder.

"They're on their way to jail, but stupid protocol still demands that they have a fair trial" He said softly causing Denki to tense up worriedly, Aizawa quickly squeezed his shoulder comfortingly causing the blonde to stare up at him.

"I will do my best to keep you out of it, but for that to happen you must tell me as much as you can about your childhood with... those people" He stated seriously causing Denki to nod softly.

"Okay" He said softly and Aizawa nodded before he pulled a tape recorder from his pocket and turned it on.

"I'm going to ask some questions and I want you to be as honest with me as you can, okay?" He asked softly causing Denki to take in a deep breath before he nodded.

"Alright, when did the abuse first begin?" He questioned which caused a far off look to appear on Denki's eyes.

"When I was four and first unlocked my quirk they started neglecting me, they were scared to touch me assuming that I would lose control and hurt them" He said softly as he wrapped his arms around himself, Aizawa just nodded and waited for Denki to continue.

"But the actual beatings didn't begin until I was six, that's when I was diagnosed with..." He trailed off and started playing with his fingers anxiously causing Aizawa to give him a concerned look.

"Diagnosed with what?" He asked softly causing Denki to take in a shaky breath before he responded.

"Dyslexia" He stated which caused Aizawa eyebrows to furrow in confusion.

"I never saw anything about Dyslexia in your files" He said causing a humourless smile to appear on the blondes face.

"They don't like admitting to the fact that they have a broken child so they never bothered to tell anyone about it, and they made sure I would never say anything about it either" He said softly causing Aizawa's eyes to narrow angrily before he took a deep calming breath, it wouldn't help Denki to get angry now.

"Having Dyslexia doesn't make you broken" He stated seriously as he placed his hand back onto the blonde's shoulder causing a soft smile to appear on his face.

"Thank you" He whispered causing a soft smile to appear on Aizawa's face before he gently urged Denki to continue.

"Those beatings weren't all that bad, they were still scared of my quirk. It wasn't until I was twelve that the beatings got really bad" He mumbled softly as he continued playing with his fingers.

"What happened when you were twelve?" Aizawa questioned causing a shaky breath to escape Denki.

"I came out to them" He stated causing Aizawa to squeeze his shoulder comfortingly, he knew exactly what it felt like to come out to someone and have them not accept you for who you are. His own parents hadn't liked the fact that he was gay and had made their displeasure known.
