The Tumbling Thunder

23 Aug, 2023

It was well past midnight, and the Bakusquad's dormitory was silent. All except for one room, where a certain electric hero-in-training was still wide awake.

Despite the late hour, Kaminari Denki felt an insatiable craving for a late-night snack. He glanced at his roommates who were sound asleep, and decided to embark on this mission alone.

He crept out of his room as quietly as he could, doing his best not to disturb his friends. He tip-toed towards the stairs that led to the kitchen.

Denki, notorious for his clumsiness, didn't pay enough attention as he descended the stairs. His foot slipped, and he found himself tumbling down.

The sound of Denki's crash echoed through the silent dormitory. He landed at the bottom of the stairs with a loud 'thump', wincing at the pain.

As expected, the noise woke up the rest of the Bakusquad. Sero Hanta was the first to poke his head out from his door, looking dazed.

"Denki, that you?" Sero asked, noting the blonde head sticking out from the pile of clothes at the foot of the stairs. He walked down to help his friend.

Meanwhile, Bakugo Katsuki grumbled from his room, not quite awake but acutely aware of the commotion. Mina Ashido and Kirishima Eijirou joined Sero soon after.

"Did Denki fall down the stairs again?" Kirishima chuckled, while Mina couldn't help but join in. The scene was all too familiar to the Bakusquad.

Bakugo emerged from his room, glaring at the spectacle before him. "Dunce Face, you just had to wake us all up, didn't you?" he growled.

Denki shrugged, attempting to stand up. "Sorry guys, just wanted a snack," he explained, his voice slightly weak from the tumble.

Mina sighed, helping Denki to his feet. "Next time, ask one of us to come with you, okay?" She said, cautiously leading him back to his room.

Although annoyed, the Bakusquad couldn't stay mad at Denki for long. They returned to their respective rooms, while Mina stayed with Denki until he felt better.

Once he recovered, Denki decided to make another attempt at a snack run. But this time, he asked Mina to accompany him.

Together, they tiptoed their way down the stairs, carefully avoiding another accident. They managed to reach the kitchen without further disturbances.

Denki finally retrieved his snack, a packet of chips from the cupboard. Mina watched as he munched on the food, a content smile on his face.

"Happy now?" Mina asked, studying Denki who was clearly enjoying his late-night snack. He nodded, crumbs spilling from his mouth.

With that settled, they helped each other back upstairs. They moved slowly, making sure they didn't wake anyone up- especially not Bakugo.

As they reached the top, Denki thanked Mina for her help. They parted ways, each of them entering their respective rooms.

Denki let out a sigh of relief, his craving finally satiated. As fatigue set in, he prepared himself for sleep.

He slipped under the covers, glancing at his roommates to confirm they were asleep. Assured, he closed his eyes, ready to dream.

However, his misadventure had left him more tired than he thought. Within moments, he was fast asleep, a half-eaten packet of chips laying next to him.

The next morning, the Bakusquad found an exhausted Denki, with crumbs all around him. They couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

"Oh man, Denki, you've outdone yourself this time," Sero cackled. Denki merely grumbled, pulling his covers over his head.

Despite the night's events, the Bakusquad found humor in their friend's antics. After all, it made their lives at the dormitory anything but boring.

But one thing was for sure- Denki wouldn't be going on any midnight snack runs anytime soon. Not without a buddy, at least.

The Bakusquad carried on with their day, each with a chuckle at the night's events. Meanwhile, Denki promised to be more careful...for now.

The dormitory returned to its usual hustle and bustle. But the memory of Denki's late-night tumble became a fond tale for the Bakusquad.

They teased him occasionally, but it was all in good spirit. After all, it was just another chapter in the Bakusquad's life at the dormitory.

Late-night snack cravings, tumbles down the stairs, and friends to tease - it was all part of Denki's life, and honestly, he wouldn't have it any other way.

As for the Bakusquad, they wouldn't trade their light-hearted, slightly chaotic dormitory life for anything else. Not when they had moments like these to cherish.

So, the Bakusquad's life continued, filled with laughter, friendship, late-night snack runs, and of course, unforgettable tumbles down the stairs.

Because in the end, with friends like the Bakusquad, even a fall down the stairs at three in the morning becomes a cherished memory.

And that's just what life at the dormitory was. A collection of unforgettable moments; of laughter and mischief. And of course, the occasional tumble.

It's safe to say, Denki's midnight snack run adventure had made a lasting impression on the Bakusquad, and it was a story they'd remember for quite some time.
