krkm (mostly denki. but let’s be real, they all are) concept 15:
denki can’t sleep at night without holding on to something. he gets anxiety without clinging to something and is unable to fall asleep.
denki can’t sleep at night without holding on to something. he gets anxiety without clinging to something and is unable to fall asleep.
he has a huge collection of plushies at home. and i mean HUGE. he had to get a special display for them all because there’s too many. he’s kept every plushie he’s ever owned, he even still has the bunny plushie he had when he was a baby.
when he moved into the dorms, he was too embarrassed to bring them. he knew the guys would tease him for it. so he only brought one; he could get away with just one. he brought his favorite teddy bear, bubbles. it was super soft and the perfect size for cuddling.
bubbles is the only reason he’s able to sleep at night. adjusting to the dorms was difficult and he wouldn’t be able to do it without his teddy. when he’s nervous he’ll retreat to his room just to hold bubbles for a little bit while he calms down.
he always has bubbles on his bed unless he’s expecting someone to be in his room, then bubbles goes under his bed. once he left bubbles out by accident and sero saw. he immediately teased denki for it. denki said he only has it because his grandma gave it to him.
but now that the secret is out, denki keeps bubbles on his bed all the time. no one knows he cuddles bubbles at night to fall asleep though. they just know he has a teddy bear, not that he needs it to sleep at night.
after kiri and denki start dating, they start having sleep overs. denki always insists on hugging kiri’s arm when they sleep. it’s not the same as a soft plushie so he has some troubles sleeping, but it’s enough that he can still fall asleep. kiri really doesn’t think much of it.
kiri is more than happy to cuddle with denki so he has no issues with denki’s demand to cling to his arm at night. but one day when they were hanging out in denki’s room and he saw bubbles on denki’s bed, something sort of clicked in his head.
he had seen bubbles on the bed so many times but never realized that denki having a teddy bear on his bed and denki’s need to hug his arm at night were related. kiri picked up the teddy and looked at it for a moment, it was the perfect size to cuddle at night. it made sense.
denki noticed kiri holding bubbles and immediately got embarrassed, “i only have that because my grandma gave it to me”, the same lie he said every time someone brought it up. he actually bought it for himself with his allowance money when he was 11.
kiri smiles, “you don’t have to be shy about it. you can hold on to it while i’m here, i won’t judge you for it.”
denki just gets more embarrassed and takes bubbles from kiri before throwing it back on his bed, “i don’t need hi- it. i don’t need it.”
denki just gets more embarrassed and takes bubbles from kiri before throwing it back on his bed, “i don’t need hi- it. i don’t need it.”
kiri shrugs, dropping the matter. but only temporarily. the next time denki spends the night in kiri’s room, about a week later, there’s a duck plushie sitting on kiri’s bed. denki gets a bit upset, he thinks kiri is mocking him for having bubbles.
but then kiri picks the plushie up, “i know you said you don’t need your teddy bear, but i got you a plush to keep in my room anyway. it’s a cute little duck!” kiri has a huge smile on his face, making it clear that he’s being genuine and not making fun of him.
denki still feels a bit embarrassed but he takes the plushie from kiri and looks at it. he can’t help but smile. it’s the same size as bubbles and almost as soft. kiri can tell denki likes it from the face he’s making, but he asks him if he likes it anyway.
denki just hugs the plushie close in response, smiling as he looked at kiri. kiri couldn’t help but laugh, but not in a mocking way. he was laughing in a happy way. “come sit down, you can cuddle it on my bed.”
they go to sit down on the bed together and denki just says “her”.

“her?” kiri is a little confused.
denki holds up the plushie, “she’s a girl”.
kiri chuckles, understanding now, “what are you going to name her?”
denki shrugged, “i don’t know yet.”
“what did you name your teddy bear?”
denki smiles big, “his name is bubbles, he’s my favorite.”
denki holds up the plushie, “she’s a girl”.

“what did you name your teddy bear?”
denki smiles big, “his name is bubbles, he’s my favorite.”
“bubbles? that’s creative.”
denki pouts now, “it’s silly, isn’t it?”
kiri shakes his head, “no! it’s really cute, actually.”
denki smiles again, “thank you.”
kiri grabbed denki’s waist and pulled him closer, “you hold her and i’ll hold you.”
denki nods, hugging the duck close.

the two sat on the bed cuddling and watching movies for the rest of the night, denki in kiri’s lap while he hugged his ducky. that’s how they slept too. denki hugged his ducky while kiri spooned him from behind. it was the perfect set up and they slept like that every night.

anyway, this is my plushie collection. i had to get rid of a lot of them a few years ago so only this is left. i sleep with toothless (the black dragon) every night. my ducky is new and inspired this thread, but denki’s ducky is a lot bigger than my baby ducky.
I ALMOST FORGOT MY MUSHROOM!!! HE MAKES SOUNDS!!
