Summary
He had always been an expectation, a tally to be checked, a list to conform to. He had never been allowed to think for himself, not truly, not totally.
He was an accomplishment to one parent and a lamentation to the other.

Summary
Denki Kaminari loved his family. From their quirks to their faults, they meant the world to him. He couldn’t imagine life without them.
Well. There was one person he wouldn’t necessarily miss if they were hit by a bus one day, and that was his older cousin Naoya.
Now, Denki doesn’t understand why, but all he knows is that since he was younger, his older cousin never liked to share the spotlight; especially not with Denki. Despite being only a year and a week older, he was much smarter than Denki in practically every way possible and since Denki developed his quirk, Naoya made it his mission to make sure Denki knew his place below him.
After thinking he’s never going to see Naoya again (thankfully), Denki’s hopes and dreams of that ever happening came crashing down on him on one Saturday evening when he’s at his grandmothers house and in walks his literal worst enemy.
With a girl practically glued to his hip.
And what does Denki do?
He fucking lies about being in a relationship with Katsuki Bakugo, of all people.
