!!Trigger warning!! abuse

If you can't handle any kind of abuse, please don't read!

Once Kaminari reached his house, he opened the door as quietly as he could. He didn't want to wake up his parents.

At this moment he really hoped to be as light as a feather, so nothing would make a noise.

He was and still is really, really scared of his parents, especially his mother. He fucking feared her.

So while he was walking inside, he was hoping, praying, that they won't notice him, just like they don't notice all his struggles. His mind just went "Please don't hurt me, please don't, please don't, please don't".

He wanted to cry, he really did, but he was too scared to even make a noise.

"Denki"

Even if his mother, didn't notice him now at night, she definetly would in the morning, and would do something unforgivable. Like that one time, when she chocked him out of his sleep.

He just reaches the stairs, he only needed to go up and then to his room. It wasn't much.

How did he not notice his mother sitting on the couch? Was he so focused on being quite, focused on being scared?

"Mom" his voice was shaking, he was holding in all those tears.

But why was it such a big problem for her? Kaminari is grown up, he is an adult. She doesn't has a reason, her son isn't some kind of object. Why does she need to control him like that. Hey does she want to know every step Kaminari takes.

She is just an abusive mother. It's that simple, yet so complicated.

She stands up "Where were you?" she slowly walks towards him

He couldn't look into her eyes "At a friend's house"

"Do i know them?" Kaminari shakes his head "Why?" He shrugs "But Denki, you know you need to tell me where you're going, always. When you'll be gone. I need to know your friends, their phone numbers, and also their parents number"

"I know" he was still looking down, only seeing his and his mother's feet

"Then why" she raised her voice "Why the fuck where you gone?!"

He looks up with tears in his eyes "Mom I'm sorry-" she cut him off with a slap across his face "Please don't hurt me mom" his tears were rolling down his cheeks and falling down on the floor.

"Me hurting you? I'm not hurting you!" Kaminari wanted to turn away but she grabbed him by his wrist "You are HURTING MY FEELINGS. HOW COULD YOU? I DID NOT RAISE YOU LIKE THAT!"

At this moment Kaminari was just hoping that her screaming was loud enough to wake their neighbors, so they could help him.

"Mom please"

She didn't listen, she didn't want to.

She grabbed him by his hair and was shaking him around. So that he no longer could stand stable on his legs.

One hand was holding his hair, and the other was beating him wherever it could reach the boy.

His scalp slowly began to feel numb, yet it burnt like fire. Every time his mother hand touches him he only perceives it a couple seconds after.

It's like he gets used to it again.

"Mom please" she started to use her legs to kick him "Mom" her knee hits his face "Please" now holding him on his hair with both hands and using her legs to kick him.

His eyes were full of tears, so his vision was blurry.

She kicks in his chest, throat, steps on his hand so he can't defend himself "Mom please I can't breathe"

And one last kick on his head, then she let's him fall on the ground "Don't ever say that I'm hurting you. You are hurting my pride"

He puts one hand on his chest and the other on his throat, to try and stabilize his breathing again. Then after slowly getting it again, he turn around to where his mother is. He forgot about the danger for a second.

She was standing on the stairs, looking at him in shame and shaking her head "Go to your room, and don't dare to go to your 'friends' house, or ask for help. It will only get worse if you do. Oh and if I hear something tonight from you, pray to fucking god, Denki" then she walks back to her and her husband's, who didn't even care what his wife did, bedroom.

Kaminari watched his mother walk back up. And after she was out of sight, he covered his mouth with his hand, only to not make noise. He didn't want it to get worse.

After a couple of minutes, he stands up, trying to ignore all the pain, and walks to his room.

Before going to bed, he took a look in the mirror, only then noticing the blood and bruises all over his body. His mother won't let him out of the house in this condition.

The last couple of months were okay, weren't they? He met new people, got a boyfriend, met Taxi. Everything was alright.

Right, he got distracted, ignored all his problems at home. Because of what? fucking love. And not just the romantic one, also platonic he had for his friends.

Why is it always love that gets him in trouble? No wait, it's not love, it's his mother. His mother's love he is so afraid of.

He fell asleep with one hand on his mouth, to not make a sound. And one over his head, to protect it. And praying, even though he didn't believe in any God, he still needed some hope.

He turned his phone off too, just for some safety reasons, even he doesn't know. It just felt like his mother would want him to do it.

The next morning he didn't go out of his room until noon, he didnt want to face the people who call themselves his family.

But he needed to go eventually, he was hungry.

He got himself looking normal, well as normal as he could, and went down.

It was awkward for him, he was still scared and doesn't dare to look at anyone. He straight up went to the fridge only to not find anything in it, literally.

"Honey, have some water" his mother acted as if last night didn't happen "We don't want you to get any more weight"

"But I'm hungry" he whispered

"Then eat, if you don't love me" she sat down with a full plate in front of the TV

He looked at the clock, Shinsou should be already working "Can I go to the bookshop real quick? I need to get my" think, think "my biology book"

"You take biology class?"

Why does he worry so much, it's what he can do the best "Yeah. You said it's better to take as much classes as possible, so I'll have more chances in the future" she didn't say something like that ever

"You're right. Sure, but be home quick"

He didn't bother to go up again and take a jacket, or his turned off phone. He just put on his shoes and rushed out.

He tried not to cry again, he didn't want to get stared at.

Kaminari was still scared his mother would do something, once she finds out what he wants to do, or when he comes back.

Once he saw the bookshop, that he loves so much, he started to run and let the tears fall down.

He saw Shinsou through the window and run faster. Then he threw the door open and run into his arms and when he reached him, they both fell down, but neither of them let go.

"Sorry" Kaminari was crying on Shinsou's chest

Shinsou was a little, wait no, he was really fucking surprised seeing Kaminari storm in crying like this. He just wondered who or what made him cry like that, he wanted to end that person or thing.

"Hey, don't be sorry" he just hugged him tighter "Don't worry, let it all out dear" he didn't want to pressure him to explain what happened while he was in this condition.

Shinsou looks down at him and notices all the bruises and scratches on Kaminari and panicked more. He let go of the hug and checked Kaminari everywhere, for any open wounds, then hugged him again.

"You're safe now. Let it all out"

After good ten minutes, Kaminari started to calm down. He let go of the hug and looked down "Do you have painkillers?"

"Yea sure, sure" he responded quickly "Lets go up to my apartment and look at your wounds"

"But the store"

"The store isn't important right now" he just closed the door and then walked up to his apartment, not letting go of Kaminari.

"Hey Taxi" Kaminari greets the cat with a tired smile

"Sit down on the couch, I'll get the first aid kit"

Before Shinsou could go get it, Kaminari grabbed him by his hand "Don't leave me"

Shinsou cups his face "I'm not leaving, I promise" he holds onto Kaminari's hand and takes him with to the bathroom to get the first aid kit, so he won't leave him alone, then they went to the living room.

Taxi sat down next to Kaminari, Shinsou was standing.

At first he looked and treated Kaminari's arms and legs, then face and neck "Are you hurt somewhere else?"

Kaminari slowly took of his shirt, in pain, and reveals only more and bigger bruises "It hurts to breathe a little" he whispers

"We need to go to the hospital" he treated all the wounds.

The floor was covered in bloody tissues, and Kaminari wasn't crying anymore.

After some time Kaminari noticed tears rolling down Shinsou's cheeks.

He wipes the tears away from his partners face "I don't have money for the hospital bill later"

"I'm paying"

"I won't let you"

"It wasn't an offer. I want to pay, and we need to check your ribs" after he finished he sat down on the floor before Kaminari "I need to make sure you will be okay"

"Okay, let's go"

Shinsou looks up with some tears in his eyes and smiles "Thank you"

They both stand up and went to the hospital. They explained Kaminari's condition with "Falling down the stairs" the people then didn't ask anymore.

They left the hospital with the news that he got a broken rib. The doctors helped as much as they could, this and that, Kaminari refused to stay at the hospital, so he needs to rest a lot at home.

Taxi greeted them like he always does, it makes Kaminari really happy.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Yeah" he nods "Can we eat in the living room?"

"Sure. I'll get something out of the fridge and join you there, okay? Or if you want, you can watch me prepare the food?" He remembered Kaminari didn't want to be left alone

"I'll watch you, if that's okay"

Shinsou nods "Okay" he still worries. Of course, his partner came running to his store covered in awful wounds and crying, he still doesn't know what happened, of course he is still worried.

And Kaminari? He was relived Shinsou and Taxi cared for him.

He could also go to Kirishima, Bakugou, or Mina, but there are a lot of people at the dorms, and it would cause more rumors, he doesn't want that.

Shinsou made some soup and tea, then they went in to the living room.

After Kaminari finished, he wanted to cuddle a little, feel safe and loved. And then, he was ready to tell him what happened.

Shinsou listened to everything. When Kaminari repeated himself, he didn't interrupt him, even if he released himself five times. He listened carefully.

"So now I'm here"

"I'm so sorry this happened to you" he pulled him closer to himself, but still careful so he won't hurt him more than he already is "Do you want to stay here for now?"

"Can I?"

"Of course" he kissed the others hand "Do you want to reach out to your friends?"

Oh right, Kaminari forgot about them for a second "No, not now. Maybe in a couple of days"

Shinsou nods. He made sure Kaminari is okay, and will make sure that he will stay okay "I promise I will never leave you, okay?"

"Okay. Pinky promise?"

Shinsou smiles, the funny Kaminari is slowly coming back "Pinky promise"

"Kaminari, I love you. Don't forget that" he says softly after some silence

"Thank you" Kaminari was truly happy with Shinsou "I love you too"
