Brought Back

---

Denki yawned.

What's sleep? Because right now it didn't exist, only scrolling on his phone hoping to find something that's actually entertaining for once.

But it's Musutafu, everything 'interesting' is basically the same. However, when he was about to turn off his phone, he saw something pop up.

'Barriers placed on the outskirts of the Kamino Ward'

Denki automatically clicked on the report, already knowing exactly what would be said and attempted to read it all before just throwing his phone across his room and burying his head in his pillow.

. . .

Ugh, he'll fix it later.

***

Three hours later, he was awake and ready to punch someone in the face--which was a good thing, by the way. Mostly.

Denki glared at his brown hair in the mirror and then at the empty tub of yellow hair dye he was holding.

Great.

Grumbling, he got out of the bathroom, making sure to take his broken phone with him, and walked out into the halls without looking around him. He really should've.

"Kaminari-san?"

He didn't jump. Nope, not at all.

When he woke up, Izuku didn't bother going to the bathroom for his hair dye. He already knew the tub was empty.

What he didn't expect, (or maybe he did considering he wasn't even surprised) was to see Kaminari up and about at this time in the morning.

"Kaminari-san?"

Given the fact that the boy in front of him clearly wasn't paying attention, it didn't surprise Izuku to see him jump at his sudden words.

"Oh, hey Midobro," he blinked, "Why is your hair white?"

"Why is yours brown?"

Kaminari grinned. 

"I'm going to guess you also ran out of hair dye? Let's get some together!"

Izuku smiled at him blatantly ignoring his question, just like he did.

***

"Is this a 24/7 shop or something?!"

Izuku laughed a bit at Kaminari's horrified face.

"Did you not expect it to be open?"

Kaminari sheepishly rubbed his head, inciting him to shake his head exasperately. Out of nowhere, he heard a somewhat familiar voice. 

"Izuku?"

Izuku turned around with a wide smile. No need to wonder how this coincidence happened, it might be revealed in due time.

"Atsushi!"

Denki watched from in between the two white-haired boys in confusion.

Well, he's out of the loop.

He tuned out whatever the two chatty teenagers were saying and looked around, something in his gut telling him to look for someone. He continued staring at the sky for an undetermined amount of time afterwards, suddenly bored.

"You kind of look like Dazai-san."

Denki whipped his head towards the other boy, too quickly for it to be good for his neck.

"You-"

"Ah, Atsushi-kun, I see you made some friends!"

He waited a moment for his mind to reload (somewhat literally) and blinked.

"Aniki?"

Why is he surprised?
