Denki felt the familiar surge of electricity coursing through his body as he faced off against his girlfriend during their sparring session. He grinned, trying to look as cool as possible. "Alright, here it comes!" he called out, sending a small jolt her way, just enough to catch her off guard but not hurt her.

But just as the bolt left his body, he felt something go wrong. A crackle of static buzzed around him, and before he could stop it, a more significant discharge shot out, zapping her with a little more force than intended.

Denki's eyes widened as he felt his brain short-circuit. Oh no, not now! he thought in a panic. But it was too late. His mind went blank, and his signature dopey smile spread across his face as he gave her a thumbs-up, trying to signal that everything was okay, even though it clearly wasn’t.

His thoughts were a jumbled mess. Smooth, Denki, real smooth. Why can’t I ever get this right? He could see her trying to hold back laughter, and his cheeks burned with embarrassment. But all he could do was keep that stupid grin plastered on his face, thumbs up, looking like a complete idiot.

Great job, man. Way to impress her. He could barely process what was happening around him, his mind foggy with the aftereffects of the short circuit. All he could think about was how he probably looked like a total goofball, and how she was definitely going to tease him about this later.

But somewhere in the back of his mind, there was a small part of him that was glad she was okay, that the worst that happened was her stifling a laugh. At least she’s not mad, he thought, still frozen in that ridiculous pose, waiting for his brain to come back online.
