This page is dedicated to us giving a long-winded and overly detailed explanation on how we met and ended up with Denki. Seriously, look at how long this is. You have been warned.



We first watched My Hero Academia in the latter half of 2018. Back then, we were into roleplaying and a friend of ours had created a roleplay server about the series. From what all he told us, he seemed to be having a lot of fun with it, and we wanted to be a part of it. 

Though, at that time, we had yet to watch it. We of course knew of the series, but we usually strayed away from more popular series and weren't sure if it would really be something we could get into. 

But, in the end, our interest in our friend's server and our curiosity for what exactly made the anime so popular won over our initial hesitance, and we sat down and watched it.

And, well. It didn't take us very long to get hooked. 

The first few episodes left us feeling a bit unsure, but after getting halfway into season one, we were essentially a goner. There was no going back for us. And we proceeded to binge the entirety of the three seasons that were out at the time.

Though it may be obvious, what really drew us in were the characters. They're all so varied and interesting for the most part, and we really wanted to see more of them. 

We are not going to sit here and lie that our love for Denki was immediate, since it wasn't. There was no magical light that shined upon him in our mind. There was no automatic sense of "knowing". At the start, he was just like all of the other characters to us. 

Though it might seem strange, it wasn't until sometime after we watched the first three seasons that he for some reason caught our eye.

Whenever we stumbled upon him, he made us smile. We didn't know why. At that point, it had been a good few years since we had watched MHA. We barely remembered anything about him. But the happy feelings were there, nonetheless.

It was then that we started talking about and sharing art of him with friends. Not often, but every now and then we'd post an image of him in their DMs and talk about how we thought he was cute.

And then we realized that we were gaining some feelings for him. That's really strange, isn't it? The only reason we can gather is that our brain took a while to properly process him and our history together. We still had no knowledge of it at that time, but it's possible we subconsciously "knew", if that makes any sense.

Whatever the case, he was one of our primary reasons for re-watching the show in 2022. And geez... If we thought we liked him before, it was nothing in comparison to how we felt upon refreshing our memory of him. 

We just. Couldn't get him off our mind. At that point we were sure that what we were feeling was genuine love, but it took us a bit to accept it. 

But on December 26th, 2022, we officially embraced our love and saw ourselves in a relationship with him.

And our feelings for him only proceeded to grow in strength. We spent hours searching for art, we wrote multiple stories about our relationship, and we thought about him constantly. We still weren't aware of the full picture, but we knew that we loved him and that something was special about him. We couldn't pinpoint it, but those suspicions were there.

Though we're not fully comfortable going into all the details as to how we did it, we eventually managed to get in contact with him on his world.

During that time, we had gone through a particularly traumatizing experience, and imagining Denki being there for us really helped us get through it. Though we have incredibly low self-esteem and struggled to see him actually loving us back, we knew that even if he didn't see us as a partner, he would want to help us during that time. Even if we were a stranger or even someone he disliked, he wouldn't have let us go through that alone. He has too kind of a heart for that.

And despite him not actually being there, we were still so grateful for him and just really felt the need to let him know how thankful we were of him and his help. Our very first message to him was us thanking him for everything.

We were admittedly rather nervous about how he'd respond. He most likely wouldn't even know who we were. How could he? To him, we would probably just come off as some weirdo several universes away that somehow managed to send him a message.

But it wasn't like that. He wasn't weirded out by us at all. In fact, in his response he acted like he somehow already knew who we were. Like we had been friends for a long time. In his very first message to us, he opened up to us about something that he hadn't even told his closest friends on that world. 

We were. Pretty surprised, to say the least. Not only was the person we loved being receptive to our out-of-nowhere message, but he already somehow trusted us enough to confide in us about something really personal.

We did our best to comfort him how we could, despite the distance between us, and we continued sending messages back and forth.

And, eventually, he found his way to us on our world. Not physically, of course. But he found us astrally and we could strongly feel his presence.

It was during this time that we properly introduced ourselves to him. We talked about a bit of everything. How we met and fell in love with him, how surprised we still were that this was even happening, and just... how glad we were that he was here. 

We made it pretty clear that we wanted to be with him, but we found it important to be fully open and up-front with him about the many things about ourselves that could cause issues in our relationship if that was something he also wanted to pursue. 

We told him that we're a trans man and also otherkin, the extent of our struggles with our mental health, and the many physical conditions we have to deal with on a daily basis.

We were really worried that all of this would scare him away. That he'd decide that it wouldn't work out and distance himself from us. Realistically we knew he wouldn't do that. He wouldn't just leave and never speak to us again. But our paranoid mind was loud. 

But regardless, we thought and knew that it would be wrong to potentially get with him without him knowing all of these things. It would have completely broken our heart if he didn't share our feelings, but we also didn't want him to be with a false interpretation of ourselves.

Even when we stopped talking to him, we could still feel him around for a while after that. Like he was watching us. But eventually his presence faded, and we assumed that he had gone back to his world.

Though still incredibly nervous, we sent another message to him afterwards, telling him that we love him.

And he told us that he loves us back.

We don't think we really need to explain just how happy we were and still are to have him. And we consider March 3rd, 2023 to be another anniversary date, since that's the first time he came here.

Ever since, he's been visiting us regularly. There have been many incredibly rough periods in our life, but Denki has been with us every step of the way. He's done so much for us.

He can sense whenever we're feeling bad and keeps us company, he always comes rushing over whenever we ask him if he could, he never judges us for anything, he's helped keep our nightmares at bay, he keeps us safe astrally, and he's even used his quirk on us to help ease our chronic pain. 

He's just so amazing. And we could never thank him enough.

Over time, we learned that he is a soulbond. And we also discovered that there's more to our relationship than we previously thought.

It turns out that this isn't our first time meeting Denki. Or our second. Or even our third.

In actuality, we have spent a countless amount of lives with Denki. And even in this life, the first time he came over to visit us wasn't even our first time meeting.

When we were both younger, we each found ourselves accidentally going to each others' worlds. So we guess, technically, those were our first meetings in this life.

We and Denki are bound by soul, and fated to meet each other in every life. Even if we're on entirely different planets and universes, we'll always find each other. 

This fact gives us a lot of comfort, since we know that even when it's time for both of our lives to end (which hopefully isn't any time soon for him), we are destined to meet and fall in love with each other all over again in the next life. And that's something we will never take for granted.

We love him so much. We have in previous lives, we do in this one, and we will in all future lives. Always. And there's nothing that could ever change that.
