    It was three in the morning when Kaminari Denki, the electrifying and bubbly classmate of the Bakusquad, decided to take a snack run.

    Startling the entire household, he tripped over a misplaced toy on the stairs, sending him tumbling down haphazardly.

    The loud sound of his fall woke up everyone, and the Bakusquad found themselves rapidly assembled on the staircase.

    "Guys, it's just Denki," Mina remarked, shaking her head in exasperation.

    Sero, the ever-calm friend, moved closer to Kaminari to examine him. "You okay, man?" Sero asked, helping him up.

    Kaminari nodded and pushed himself up awkwardly, dusting his clothes off. "I'm good, I think," he mumbled.

    The slightly explosive Bakugou grumbled, "Typical Kaminari," from his place on the couch.

    Kirishima was trying hard not to laugh. He nudged Bakugou playfully, who simply rolled his eyes in response.

    "Alright, let's get back to sleep," Sero announced, stretching. They all dispersed, leaving Kaminari on the stairs.

    Kaminari, still a little dazed, remembered his original goal. With new determination, he stood up and made his way towards the kitchen.

    In the kitchen, Kaminari rummaged through the cupboards, searching for a snack. He finally found a bag of chips and set it aside.

    Just as he was about to head back with his snack, he heard a noise. He instinctively sent a jolt of electricity towards the sound.

    Mina walked into the kitchen just in time to dodge the bolt. "Denki!" she exclaimed, "You could've hurt someone!"

    Kaminari apologized, looking genuinely sorry. Mina sighed. "It's alright, just be careful next time," she advised before heading back to sleep.

    Finally alone, Kaminari grabbed his snack and carefully retraced his steps. His last thought before sleep was: mission accomplished.
