Zapped to Life

1. The Third Wheel

-/:\- Denki's P.O.V -/:\-

The chatter of other students scatters about the cafeteria. Individuals having their conversations with their friends. As far as I could see, there were no "third wheels" among the groups. Everyone seemed to be equally involved in the conversation, everyone seemed to have equal attention, everyone was happy. My thoughts were interrupted by chanting.

"CHUG!!!"

"CHUG!!!"

"CHUG!!!"

"CHUG!!!"

I turn, and couldn't help but laugh at the scene. Bakugo stands on top of the Bakusquad table, chugging down entire bottles of hot sauce. While Kirishima frantically runs back and forth grabbing more hot sauce bottles, Mina and Sero are on their feet, chanting as Bakugo's face darkens to red. "What number is he on?" I ask. "Number nine!" Mina cheers, jumping in the air.

"And here's number ten, " Kirishima grunts, and I stare at the enormous bottle of hot sauce. It was as tall as Mineta, and I quickly ran over to help Kirishima lift the bottle for Bakugo, whose face was now tomato red. And as soon as the bottle was at his level, he began chugging the enormous bottle. Soon, all around the cafeteria, everyone chanted Bakugo's name.

And that seemed to help him, for he finished the bottle in about a minute.

Then he stopped and with his face bright red, and tears in his eyes, he turned towards Kirishima and kissed him. Real good. Everyone else cheered. Kirishima's face reddened either from the surprising kiss or the taste of the fiery hot sauce.

And of course, I'm over here, as the third wheel.

Bakugo pulls away from Kirishima, his face still alarmingly red. "TAKE THAT DEKU!!! I WILL ALWAYS WIN!!! YOU HEAR ME, BASTARD?!? I WILL SURPASS YOU!!!" Bakugo shouts at Midoriya, who bore a nervous expression on his face. Next to him, with an arm wrapped around his shoulder protectively was Todoroki, who glared at Bakugo with hatred.

Bakugo and Kirishima, Midoriya and Todoroki... I couldn't help but admire the four of them. All of them have very different personalities and seemed to be complete opposites of one another, but somehow... all of them were brought together to be with their soulmates. Best friends turned boyfriends... I wished I had a relationship as strong as that.

My quirk causes my brain to short-circuit if I use it too much, and I'm often made fun of because of that. So do people want to be with me because I say something stupid, or act like an idiot?

No.

I want a kind, understanding girlfriend, who knows me inside and out. Someone who is always there, and will love me for me. Someone who will love my flaws and stupidity.

Oh, and they have to be hot of course. You can't have a girlfriend if they aren't hot! Mineta said so himself.

Speaking of whom, Mineta quickly and quietly walks over to me and whispers in my ear, "Kaminari, some second-year girls are about to get on the bus to their volleyball game." Then he added in even a softer whisper, "They've already changed into their outfits!"

"Sweet! Let's-" I cut off. Something suddenly vanished from my thoughts. Wait, what happened? This feeling... what does this mean? It's almost like... I no longer care. Am I not interested? But the volleyball girls were the hottest of all, and I know they look even better in their uniforms... but, I didn't want to go. Why? What was the reason?

Confused, I shook my head at Mineta and left to go find somewhere to think. "What? Where are you going? Get back here!" Mineta's shrill voice echoed behind me, "What about the babes?"

"I-I need to clear my head. Maybe next time."

"Clear your head? You clear your head every time you use your quirk!"

Ignoring him, I start walking down the halls, not paying attention to where I was walking, and end up running into Midoriya.

"Oof! Sorry, Midoriya!"

"Don't worry about it, " he says sweetly, a bright smile on his face. Behind him stands the rest of the Dekusquad with Iida, Ochako, and Todoroki.

"You okay? You had a very concerned look on your face just now, " he asks me, and everyone else looks at me, a bit worried.

"Nah! I'm totally fine!" Totally not having a crisis with my sexuality...

"Oh. Well, I invited the class to come to the mall with us after school! Not everyone can come, so you can join if you want. Kirishima and Bakugo already said they would, " he says, smiling at me.

More like Kirishima said he would, and he's dragging Bakugo along with him, I thought.

"Alright! Sounds awesome. Where do we meet? " I ask them.

"Just outside the classroom, "

"Just don't forget this time!" Ochako joked, but honestly it hurt a little bit. Everyone else left for class, leaving me alone in the empty halls.

I couldn't help but think about what Midoriya said. Did they only invite me because no one else was able to come? Am I the last one they asked?

I look at the clock to check the time. Shit! I'm gonna be late for class!

I run to class and barely make it in time, before the class giggles at how I was so out of breath. Embarrassed, I quickly took my seat and waited for the lesson to begin. But of course, I notice that Bakugo and Kirishima are smiling at one another from across the classroom, and jealousy makes me feel lonely once more.

(A/N: Hi. Soooooo yeah this is my very first ship story, and I know it was a bit depressing, and I'm sorry, but it will be better in the future. And I'm also sorry if you didn't like the way Denki was.
If you like it, or even if you hated it, let me know!
But please be kind, because it took me two days, mainly because I was worried that no one would like it. But I hope you loved this little chapter, so please vote!)
