“ huh? oh wait, I just got distracted, don’t go! I haven’t finished introducing you to everyone! “

“Been a hell of a ride, but I’m thinking it’s time to go-”

★ RED RIOT - KIRISHIMA EIJIRO ★

Denki jumps as Ojiro’s tail slams into the wall behind him before turning to face them all. A quick and startled glance at the others show him that he wasn’t the only one to do so. Guilt sets in quickly however as his classmates begin to yell at them. 

If anyone should know how this feels, it’s Denki, not because his quirk is plain, but because he is so often laughed at for the way he acts after frying himself. But Ojiro had never joined in on making fun of him, so what was his excuse? Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn’t about him this time and laughing along with the rest of them was a terrible excuse and Denki knew it. 

He shared a guilty look with the others once Ojiro moves away and bites his lip before hurrying after the other blonde. Whlie Denki isn’t always the best with apologies and isn’t sure he’ll be forgiven- if he even deserves to be- he knows that he owes one. 

“ Ojiro... I’m really sorry! I don’t think you or your quirk are boring I swear... We were just.. poking fun I guess. But that’s not an excuse, we should have said that stuff... I’m sorry..” He feels terrible to have made Ojiro feel bad, though at this point he wouldn’t blame his classmate for not forgiving any of them. He really needed to learn to shut up. “ You do belong here.. “ he adds softly.

It had just been one offhanded statement during training. A joke? Maybe. An overused joke that hurt? Absolutely.

‘Plain as always!’

Tail twitching, it slams into the wall of rock, breaking it into pieces on impact, and he twirls on his classmates. He’s aware the pain is obvious on his face, the hurt from the words clear as day. He’d taken so much of their “teasing”, dealt with their words so often, but he couldn’t do it anymore.

“ I GET IT, OKAY?! ” His voice comes out as a yell, something he never does. “ I’m PLAIN, I’m BORING, someone with a boring quirk like mine doesn’t deserve to be here, I fucking GET IT! ”

It felt like he was going to break, body trembling, and not even he was aware of the damn that finally broke. Nearly a year of being classmates and they still viewed him as this plain, boring guy who was so predictable. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Tail thumping against the ground, he bares his teeth at them briefly and turns his back on the class, storming to the other side of the training area.

Toga: Hi! I’d like to make a withdrawal!

Clerk: Um, ma'am? This is a blood bank.

@shehorned​ gets a sort of plotted starter!

it takes longer than it should for eijiro to notice that he’s being watched, or rather that eri is. he wants to blame the fact that he’s still recovering from the attack two days prior and that he’s just relieved to have eri safe beside him, but he knows that neither of those are excuses to get complacent when there are still so many terrible people that want to use the white haired girl tucked into his side. 

he can see three men that seem to be getting closer and keeping eyes on them, and there may be more, but eijiro doesn’t want to tip them off to the fact that he knows by searching too obviously for others. and with the way they’re getting closer, he knows that there isn’t much time to decide what to do. this is the quickest way back to UA, but that won’t help them if they’re nabbed before they get there. he knows that it’s eri they’re after, and he isn’t fighting on 100%, so the best thing to do would give the girl time to get away and call a pro while he stalls as long as he can.

“ hey eri. “ he starts softly, leaning down to speak to her.  “ i need you to get off at the next stop and call aizawa... can you do that? ”  he hates asking her to go off on her own again when she was so scared before, but he doesn’t really think that he’ll actually be able to beat these men in his current state. still,  if he can buy her time to get to safety, then he would do it without question.
