1. just depressed.
Things are tough, you're feeling worn out, or whatever the case, you're depressed. You need help or someone else thinks you do anyway.

2. abandoned.
You were left behind by everyone you hold dear and now you're forced to see how well they've adjusted, how happy they all are while you're screaming inside.

3. sick.
Cold, flu, or something even worse, all you can do is lay back and let someone take care of you.

4. fight.
You've been fighting nonstop with the other person and it just keep escalating.

5. break up.
You're being broken up with and they won't reconsider... Damn.

6. separated.
For some reason, you've been separated from the other person for a long time.

7. kidnapped.
You've been held captive for how long now? Maybe they've been torturing you even, using your blood to write ransom notes, threatening to cut off fingers to send next, etc. Rescue is on the way though, right?

8. beaten up.
Just because someone didn't like you or maybe they wanted something you had, whatever the case is, you're coming home sporting some nasty wounds and bruises.

9. jealousy.
You just have this undeniable jealousy suddenly and you need to let it out.

10. cheated on.
This goes beyond just suspicion and you have full on proof of what your lover has done. How do you handle it?

11. apathetic.
You're not sad, you're not happy, you just... don't feel much anymore. The sparkle of life has gone right out of you and you're just going through the motions now.

12. addicted.
Drugs, alcohol, whatever your drug of choice is, you can't fight the draw and you can't draw yourself out of the hole, but the other person is going to try.

13. bad romance.
You know this isn't good for either of you, but you can't stop now.

14. fear.
Nightmares, the feeling someone is following you, etc. You can't shake the feeling.

15. insanity.
You're seeing things and hearing them, waking up only to realize you've done things you don't remember or you're in a place you weren't before. You're losing it and you don't know what to do.

16. guilt.
It's eating you up inside and you have to tell someone about it now. You want to be punished and you won't take no for an answer.

17. loss
You've lost something dear to you.

18. wild card.
Combine some options or make your own!

[ The points of contact are soothing, and the hand strong back his hair is as comforting to Kaminari as it was to the other blonde as a child. Maybe he should be embarrassed about all of this, but there's not enough in him to care. For all their fighting and training, they're still 16-year-olds.

Even if he's full of heartache and fear, bodies can only take so much stress and he does end up slowly falling asleep in Bakugou's bed. ]

[Katsuki stays up with him until he's sure Kaminari has fallen asleep. Only then will he let himself doze off. It's an unfamiliar feeling to have someone else sleeping so close. But soon he's dozing off too.]

[ He sleeps for almost four hours before his cellphone starts making Pikachu battle sounds, and he awkwardly tries to find it in his pants. He doesn't even know here he is at first, just throwing the phone to his ear.

There's a few moments of silence, and then the phone pops from battery overload, making him yeet it across the room. ]

[When he first rouses to the sound of pokemon battle music, he's annoyed. Forgetting the previous night's events, he makes an irritated sound and grumbles about murdering people for waking him up.

When he opens his eyes to see Kaminari in his bed he's very confused. And then it all comes back just as the phone pops.

That phonecall can't have been good news. It makes something awful settle in his stomach as he watches Kaminari, trying to read him.]

[ He looks really empty, like he's disassociating into a sad version of whey-mode. He drops his hands down into his lap and then finally moves a little, even if it's just to lie down again. On his back, facing the ceiling. ]

...guess I'm the last Kaminari.

[Shit. Losing both parents back to back like that... worst case scenario. The exact thing Kaminari had been afraid to wake up to.

Are there even words that can help right now? If there are, he doesn't know them. Everything he can think of feels so hollow.

He reaches over and covers Kaminari's hand with his own. And he... tries to find some words. Kind of rough. But he tries.]

Shit's gonna suck. Probably for a long time. But you're gonna get through it. You got a lot of people here who aren't going to let this drag you down. So... cry. Get mad. Whatever you need to let out, let it out.

[ His head is spinning wildly and he's not sure why he's not breaking into desperate crying again. Instead he just lies there, listening to Bakugou and feeling his hand on his own.

Cry? He can't cry any more, there's just nothing there but numbness now. Get mad? There's nothing to get mad at. There was no villain attack or even a drunk driver hitting them. They hit an ice patch wrong and careened off the road into a tree.

There isn't even any electricity flying wild. He feels like a drained battery. ]

...how am I gonna survive this?

[Kaminari looks so... numb. And that's a lot scarier than any villain they've ever come up against. Crying was... manageable. Anger he could take.

But this empty despair is...

Is he really the best person to be handling this? Should he wake Kirishima? Call Aizawa-sensei? Someone else, anyone else would be better suited to walking Kaminari through this.

He's afraid to leave Kaminari alone right now.]

Can't talk like that. This isn't going to break you. You're not that weak. I know you're not.

[Is this the right way to approach this? He doesn't know. He really doesn't.]

You're going to get through this. You're going to keep putting one foot in front of the other. And if I gotta carry you half the way, I'll damn well do it. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. You aren't alone.

[ He keeps staring up into the ceiling, but his fingers lace with Bakugou's as a sign that he is actually listening. Kaminari's whole life just fell apart and he's speedrunning all the stages of grief in his friend's room at who-knows-o-clock.

With Bakugou, too, who is helping his sorry ass yet again. ]

I... thank you. That means a lot. I just... I don't want anyone else to know right now. I can't handle all the pitying faces.

[ Reaching up, Kaminari brushes his hair back with a joyless smile. ]

I have to go back to the hospital and have Aizawa-sensei sign a bunch of papers. Maybe I can stay in he dorms until we graduate.

Not in the habit of running my mouth.

[He lets Kaminari's fingers lace with his. He's not about to deny him much of anything right now.]

If you want to come back here when you're done and hide out from the idiot patrol, you can. I can handle harboring you like a fugitive for a while.

I know... guess that's why I came to you. I love them, but it would be too much.

[ He wipes his wet eyes with his other hand, tears forming but unable to actually cry. ]

If you're okay with it, I'd like that.

Wouldn't offer if I wasn't. Don't do anything I don't want to.

[He gives Kaminari's hand a squeeze.]

You good to go alone?

[ He sits up, finally unlacing his fingers after that supportive squeeze. ]

Yeah. Guess I should get used to being alone.

[Was that phrasing a fuck up? Probably. He can't take it back. Instead he reaches over to his nightstand and grabs his room key, holding it out.]

If I'm in class when you get back, let yourself in. Just stay out of my stuff. And don't eat anything in my bed.

[ Saying anything when someone's stunned from grieving is always a gamble, but at least Kaminari isn't more upset. Instead he takes the key, rubbing it a bit and then giving Bakugou a watery smile. ]

...thank you.

[ With that, he slowly gets out of the bed and heads for the door, uniform a wrinkled disaster and hair flat and messy. ]

Really. It means a lot.

Not a big deal.

[It's a huge deal, but Katsuki isn't exactly comfortable with having attention called to it. He knows it must seem weird, how he's handled everything. He's never been the model of kindness. He was an asshole and he didn't try to hide it.

But he wasn't a monster. At least... not anymore. Pre-Yuei Katsuki Bakugou probably wouldn't have had any compassion for someone going through such a big loss. He would have been annoyed at being burdened like this.

Now though? Well. He cared about the people around him. He can't say he'd have the same level of compassion for a stranger. Or even for some of his other classmates. But Kaminari was okay.]

[ It is a huge deal, and something that will stay with Kaminari for a long, long time. The electric teen, unplugged and battery drained, gives another little smile before he opens the door and heads outside.

A first step from having a normal family to a ward of UA, lost and grieving but not alone. He has people he can lean on, and Bakugou has proven that. ]
