Author's Note: feeling super nervous, this is my first time ever posting my writing. Thank you to anyone who reads it and I'd love to hear feedback in DMs or asks!!
Summary: Denki x Reader, where Denki, a sidekick who is struggling to further his career meets [Y/N], the daughter of a major publicist in the most unexpected way.
Noise rang in his ears and black spotted the edges of his vision as Kaminari took deep breaths and looked up into the clouds. “Hey! You’re Chargebolt right?? Can we get an interview?” “Any comments on the civilian you almost shocked?” “Get a few shots of him for a story!” The press swarmed him.
Everything around him was spinning and Kaminari was fighting off a blackout, he couldn’t allow himself to short circuit in front of all these people, not again. Suddenly there was a smaller hand in his and a voice he couldn’t recognize said “Do you mind if I get you away from this crowd?”. Denki let out a low hum and felt himself get pulled away through the crowd before blacking out.
[Y/n] always thought of herself as a pretty kind person, but she was way out of her league here. After she dragged the blond man away from the crowd to a park, he slumped over on a bench mumbling something the woman could not understand.
He wasn’t visibly injured, save for the few scratches on his cheeks and arms, but still [Y/n] considered taking him to a hospital. “Are you alright? Can you hear me?” when she sat beside him he perked up a bit, huffing softly and stared with dilated eyes before resting his full weight on top of her, it was adorable, really.
He sort of reminded the woman of a puppy, a very large, heavy puppy, [Y/n] groaned “Agh… sir, I can call a friend for you or take you somewhere- just…please get off me?” the blond made a small grunt in reply.
“Oi, what do you think you’re doing lady?!” the woman turned to face an ash blond scowling at her like death itself. After taking a breath [Y/n] responded to the man’s harsh question “I- uh saw him looking like he was going to pass out, and I thought to get him out of the crowd- sorry I didn’t see any other heroes around, I was about to take him to the hospital, honestly!” the man simply let out a scoff at the long-winded explanation.
The ash blond reached forward and hoisted up who you assumed is his friend “Tsk, why am I always taking care of these damn extras…”. The [h/c] woman stared after the two tall men bewilderedly “Bye then…?”.
Denki slowly blinked and when he opened his eyes the fog over his mind lifted “Dunceface. Go to Hawk’s office, they want to meet with you.” Bakugou sat across from him. Sighing, the tired blond hauled himself up and headed to the office, when he got there things went downhill.
It turns out that yet another video of Denki’s hero work slip ups and him after the overuse of his quirk had surfaced; Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt’s publicity is mostly negative at the moment.
“We’ve already booked a meeting with a great PR agency, hopefully we can get on top of this whole thing.” Hawks told him, lounging in his desk chair. Denki just nodded, he was getting really sick of always looking dumb and incompetent no matter what he does, it felt like he was still in his first year of UA. Walking out of Hawk’s office, Kaminari read the agency’s card “[L/n]’s… we’ll see what happens…” sighing the blond man went into his cubicle to finish paperwork, at this point he’d try anything to get the press off his back.
While doing his paperwork, Kaminari found himself thinking about today’s incident… now that he’s thought about it… how did he get out of that crowd? He doesn’t remember Bakugou being anywhere near him at the time, although Denki can vaguely recall a soft voice…
The [h/c] woman continued heading to her father’s office after her strange encounter with the two blonds, stopping outside the high-rise building that said “[L/n]’s Publicity” in bold letters on the front. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator [Y/n] saw her father pacing around, mumbling things only he could understand.
“Dad, are you okay? What’s wrong?” as she approached him, her father whipped around. “We just booked a new hero.” [Y/n] paused in confusion “Isn’t booking clients a good thing…?” She approached her father as he walked into his office, collapsing into the desk chair. “We’re all booked up, we don’t have anyone to take on Chargebolt’s case…but turning this offer down will ruin publicity…” [Y/n] knew her dad what her dad was hinting at and that he would hold it over her head forever if she didn’t help him “... I can handle it dad, they reduced my hours at the dessert cafe.” Instantly, the man perked up “Great! He’ll be here tomorrow at nine, don’t be late” her father told her before leaving with a chaste kiss to her head. “Scammer!” the [H/c] woman huffed after the man.
The next day at nine am, [Y/n] was sitting at her office which she rarely used; it was just somewhere she used to help her dad out with his company. Truthfully, the girl would rather be sleeping in on her day off, but she couldn’t leave her father hanging. [Y/n] had no idea who this Chargebolt was, nor what his problem was, but she hoped it would be a quick fix so she could enjoy her time off.
“Come in!” [Y/n] called to the person knocking at her door and soon after, the same tall lean blond hero she’d saved from the crowd stepped into the office. The [H/c] female’s eyes widened as they met the blond’s “..Hi” she choked out awkwardly. If Chargebolt recognized her, she couldn’t tell because he grinned in response “I’m Kaminari Denki, nice meeting ya!”.
[Y/n] raised an eyebrow at his strange behavior “you don’t-nevermind, it’s ah- nothing.” clearing her throat she began again, the blond giving her a weird look “So if you could start by explaining your situation to me, I’m still waiting on your files”. Kaminari noticeably deflated before hiding his expression “Most people just… well to them, I come off as some dumb kid,” he starts, looking down. “ and what makes it even worse is that when I use my quirk too much I black out and end up looking pretty stupid…” that must of been what happened the day [Y/n] helped him away from the crowd. Seeing how embarrassed the man seemed, [Y/n] decided she wouldn’t mention how she first met him. Kaminari continued on to say that many of his slip-ups have been caught on camera and that he’s pretty much become a joke to the press. “Thanks for updating me on your situation Mr. Kaminari” [Y/n] responds “while there is no way to avoid the press and people’s gossip, we can increase your popularity”. Denki just nods with a light sigh; if this was what she thought was best, he’d go with it… after all, she was the professional.
“Mr. Kaminari?” [Y/n] called, shaking the man out of his thoughts “oh umm… yes!” his eyes dart over to the woman. “Since you’re at Hawk’s agency, I think it’d be best to get you in on his children’s charity event coming up.” Denki tensed up “children…?” the [h/c] woman continued “Hawks is having an event to bridge his connections with children and I think you helping out would get you better publicity!”. While he appreciated the woman’s enthusiasm, Kaminari and kids didn’t really mix “I think adifferent event would be-” the woman cut him off typing on the desktop “I’ve already put you down as a volunteer you’ll be okay, trust me” [Y/N] looks up from the screen to look at Kaminari, her [e/c] eyes shining with hope and he can’t place his finger on it, but he thinks he’s seen those eyes somewhere before. Seeing the nervous look on the blond’s face, [Y/N] continues “I could go with you…? To ahh… make sure it goes okay-which it will!”. Seeing the woman beginning to spiral, Denki answers with a slightly flushed face, hoping she won’t notice, “Yeah…that’d be great”. The two young adults shake hands and part ways as the meeting ends.
Unsurprisingly to Denki, when he showed up to Hawks’ charity event the press flocked to him as he helped [Y/N] out of his small silver Kia. The two were dressed nicely, Denki in loose beige slacks and a white button-up with the sleeves rolled, and [Y/N] in a beige ruched bodycon with a pair of flats. When Denki had picked her up, [Y/N] realized that they’d accidentally matched each other’s outfits, Oh well… she thought, Great minds! Kaminari was no stranger to being hounded by the press, but this time it was different; they weren’t talking about his latest screw-up or trying to put him down. Shouts of “It’s that sidekick Chargebolt… but who’s the girl??”reporters looking into their cameras speculating “Has infamous sidekick Chargebolt got a girlfriend?” [Y/N] stepped back as a mic was pushed into her face “Who are you?!?” “Are you and Chargebolt making it official??” Denki sputtered “What?? Official-I-” he’s cut off by a cellphone being shoved in front of him. “According to this, you and her have been friendly for some time now… since your accident a few weeks ago” looking closely at the phone, the blond’s eyes lit up in a mixture of shock and recognition. The photos were of Kaminari himself being dragged away from his most recent incident by none other than [Y/N] herself. The pair stood shell-shocked, not expecting this, both of them thinking What the fuck?!?
