NeonHorizon: Just a quick warning that this chapter contains some mature stuff that isn't swearing or gore


At first, she was startled when she felt something warm pressed against her back as she woke up. Kaere jolted, eyes going wide, and she squirmed to try to get free. Her still slightly groggy brain did not immediately remember the previous night so her first thought was that Dabi had finally come into her room while she slept and soon she would be consumed by bright blue flames.

"Kae?" The sleepy voice behind her did not belong to Dabi and the arm around her waist tightened. "Kae? Darling, what's wrong?"

She froze and her pulse skipped as it all came back to her. Heat rose to her face and Kaere stared straight ahead at the blurry bedroom. Faint sunlight was coming in through her curtains. Not enough to completely light up the room, but enough to illuminate it a little. "It's…nothing," she mumbled.

Compress relaxed again and his hand skimmed up along her side, the only thing separating his skin from hers being her thin tank top. Lips pressed gently against the back of her neck, his chest pushing closer against her back. "A nightmare, perhaps?"

Kaere nervously fidgeted; picking at the skin around her left thumbnail. Her pulse was still rapid, but there was something else now. The fluttery, warm, tingling sensation that seemed to spread through her as she felt his fingertips trail over her ribs. "I…I was afraid that Dabi…"

He paused for a moment before leaning down to her ear. "There, there, my love. I'm here. I won't let him lay a hand on you." His hand lifted from her ribs and settled over her heart, feeling the rapid thump of her racing pulse. "You know, it's been quite a while since I woke up next to someone like this. Well, I suppose the last time I slept beside you, but I was in a hurry to leave then. Something had come up so I didn't get the chance to hold you like this."

She closed her eyes, focusing on the warmth of his fingertips against her skin. "I've never woken up next to someone before," she confessed. Kaere licked her lips, tasting blood from having chewed her skin open. "This…this feels really nice."

"I'm glad you agree. Honestly, I don't want to move from this spot. Sadly, we have a meeting today, don't we?"

"Ah. Right…you're right. Um. Shigaraki-san said he wanted everyone to meet up today." Kaere opened her eyes and turned to look at him over her shoulder, but halted when she felt his palm press against the curve of her chest. Her pulse skipped and she pressed her hips back against him tighter. "Um…you're…ah…y-you know that you're…"

"I'm sorry. Not very gentlemanly of me, is it? I couldn't resist, my dear. Holding you close, feeling the warmth of your body against mine. I wish we had more time today. I wish that we had the opportunity to seal our relationship last night, but Dabi ruined the mood for it."

Kaere blinked and squinted, trying to focus her gaze on her phone. She carefully reached for it and, thankfully, it was apparently within arm's reach. Checking the time, she felt butterflies in her stomach. She swallowed her nervousness and clutched her phone tightly. "We…still have some time."

"Are you sure that you want this, my dear?" The man's tone revealed his smile without her even needing to look. "As much as I want this, I want to be sure that it's something you want. You don't need to do this simply to indulge me."

"I-I do! I was telling the truth before, um…well, last night. When I said I'd want my first time…to be with…"

Kaere found herself suddenly on her back with the villain hovering over her, his right hand slipping beneath the hem of her tank top. His face was still blurry, but the sight of his smile made her heart beat faster. She hesitantly lifted a hand and caressed his cheek, the warmth of his skin beneath her chilled fingertips making shiver in the best of ways.

"My dear, I promise to make this as memorable as possible. As this is your first time, I'll take things slow and gentle to ensure only the best experience for you. But, darling, I have to tell you. To have the honor of being your first…I only wish I could give you the same."

"Ah. I-it's alright! I know it's probably…not even normal that I haven't…"

"But it only makes our bond that much deeper, don't you think?"

Her quirk sealed up the bite on her lip and she chewed at it again, feeling nervous despite her excitement. She closed her eyes and felt the butterflies in her stomach increase. Kaere felt him draw away and heard the soft rustle of fabric. A lump of anxiety formed in her throat, which she struggled to swallow.

This…this is happening. This is really happening. I'm…giving myself to someone else. My heart and now…She felt his prosthetic fingers trail along her cheek and she subconsciously leaned into the touch. Lifting a hand, she found his right hand taking her wrist and her fingertips came into contact with warm flesh.

Her eyes slid open a little and she felt an explosion of heat spread across her face as it turned an almost glowing shade of red. Touching his bare chest, trembling as she bit her lip even harder. "Sako-san…"

"My dear, now it's your turn. You're sure that you want this?"

She met his gaze, even though he was still pretty blurry. "I…I adore you," she replied. "I'm sure that I want this."

"Well, alright, then. I would have to be completely heartless to refuse my love after such a sweet confession."

As his hands went to her hips and began to push her shirt up, she closed her eyes to try to decrease her embarrassment. When every inch of her scarred flesh was bared to him, she could feel her trembling become worse. She slowly crossed her arms over her chest, head turning to the side as she tried to push past the fear that he would reject her now that he knew the extent of her scars.

Instead of being repulsed, Compress gently took her left wrist and lifted it. His lips pressed against the scars that ran along her forearms before he began to trail kisses to her shoulder and then to her chest. Releasing her wrist, his hand went to her chest and gently squeezed. Her first instinct was to press her legs together, but he was kneeling between her knees on the bed.

Finally, a warm, gentle hand took her chin and turned her to face forward. "Kae. Please open your eyes." When her soft hazel eyes met his brown ones, he smiled and leaned up to kiss her. His right hand settled on her hip, fingers rubbing small circles over her skin.

Kaere's breathing hitched as she felt his fingers slowly glide across her thigh and stop near her most sensitive area. He kept the kiss intact as he rubbed gently, smiling into the kiss when he felt her hips buck into his touch. She felt a fingertip slide against her, pushing slowly inward. Heat was collecting in her lower half as she squirmed at the slight discomfort.

Still maintaining the kiss, he eased his digit further in until he reached a barrier. He held still for a moment as she adjusted and then carefully drew back before pushing forward again. He did this a few times before adding another digit. All the while muffling her moans and whimpers with his own lips.

When he was sure she was ready and Kaere pushed her hips up, he shifted himself. Using his left hand so he could keep a grip on her hip, he guided himself to press at the opening. Slowly, carefully, he pushed in until he hit the barrier. Finally breaking the kiss, he gaze down at her with an intense warmth and adoration. "Kae, if we continue now, there's no going back. You really, truly want this, my dear?"

There were tears in her eyes from the pain of her muscles being stretched, but she gave him a nod. "I…I want this," she replied.

"My dear, you'll have to forgive what I'm about to do. I promise that it should only hurt for a short time. I'll try to counter any pain you might feel, but please don't think any less of me for what I'm going to do." He waited for her to nod again before covering her mouth with his hand and pushing in the rest of the way with force, breaking through the barrier.

The pain was intense and nearly blinding. Tears ran down the sides of her face and Kaere sobbed against his hand, but wrapped her arms around his neck to hold him close. She felt his lips on her collarbone and brushing over the side of her neck. Sweet and soothing. Doing whatever he could to try to take her mind off of the wretched agony tearing at her insides.

She was breathing hard, trembling with sobs until the pain slowly began to subside. Her muscles adjusted and she blinked away tears as she stared up into his eyes. He pulled his hand away and kissed her, his hand wiping at her tears.

Kaere felt him start to move and she felt a flicker of pleasure among the remaining pain. She pushed her hips against his, hoping that if he continued then it might make any pain left over fade away. The girl was rewarded by him complying with her silent wishes. His hips drove into hers again and again as he leaned down to her ear to whisper to her.

Compliments she had never heard directed at her before. Promises of how great she would feel once the rest of the pain subsided. How her body seemed to fit his just perfectly. All the while, Kaere could feel a knot forming in her core. Tightening more and more as he continued. Pulsing and hot as she felt his hand on her chest.

As it began to feel almost like it was too much, she was sent tumbling over the edge into a release. Muscles seeming to pulse and tighten. Her back arching and her teeth closing on her lower lip to silence a moan. "Sako…Sako-san…"

"There it is. The way that you say my name is absolutely exquisite. What I wouldn't give to have you scream it," he murmured. "Well, perhaps next time. Of course, as long as we don't an unwelcome extra on our hands."

Compress quickened his pace, his gaze still warm, but determined now. "My dear, I hope you don't mind. As this is your first time, I'd rather not push you. However, my self-control is being tested at the moment. You'll have to forgive me for this, I'm afraid."

"Wh…what…?" Kaere felt him leave her and she was lifted. He sat back against her pillow and the wall, his arm wrapped around her as he lowered her so he filled her again. She bit back a whimper as his lips latched onto the sensitive skin between her shoulder and neck, her back resting against his chest. His hips drove up and into her at a rougher pace than before,

Once he had finished, he kept his arm wrapped around her and held the girl against his chest. "Darling. I have to confess, I've never been so enamored before. With each moment I spend with you, I feel like I'm falling even deeper in love. If I needed further proof before, this was certainly it. The way that you fit so perfectly with me."

Compress was the first to emerge from her room in a disheveled state; shirt, pants, and balaclava hastily thrown on. Not seeing Dabi in the apartment, he ushered Kaere to the bathroom so she could clean up. He stood guard outside of the bathroom door, leaning against the wall beside it. "Kae, after the meeting, I'd like to spend more time with you. I hope you don't have plans today."

She blushed pink as she finished getting dressed. Her hair was still wet from the quick bath, but she felt guilty about making him wait. As she meekly stepped out of the bathroom, she glanced down at her makeshift villain costume and started to get self-conscious.

The long black jacket, black pants, black t-shirt with a purple frowny face, and pink sneakers. It had seemed a little embarrassing the last time she wore this, but now that she was closer with Compress, she was afraid that it made her look immature. Nervously pushing up her glasses, she was about to ask his opinion, but found him lifting her face to bring his lips to hers.

Leaning back, he smiled down at the girl. "You look ravishing," he assured her, running his fingers through her dark brown hair. "Shall we? I believe Shigaraki set the meeting to begin in half an hour. Once it's over, we can spend the rest of the day together."

She reluctantly pulled away to retrieve her bag from her room, slipping her medical kit into it. Kaere waited patiently for him to finish putting on the rest of his costume and her mind started to wander. He said something before. About how he would only take a date to a ramen shop if he expected a one-night stand. Did he…have a one-night stand like that?

Walking alongside him, she chewed at her lower lip and picked at the skin around her nails. She was still in a little bit of pain, still sore from what they had done, but Kaere did not want to mention it to Compress. He seemed to sense she was in pain, though. A gloved hand reached over to take her left hand and when he turned toward her, she could feel his smile even through his black and white mask.

"You did enjoy yourself this morning, didn't you, darling?"

"O-of course! I mean, I…I really did like it. The initial pain was…but after I got used to it, I…um…it felt…really good," she assured him.

As they entered the abandoned building, Compress led her by the hand. The two villains made their way up the stairs to the floor where everyone was meeting and the voices of the other villains drifted to them. Stepping into the room, Compress began to lead her to an old crate so she could sit, but a pair of arms wrapped around her and swept her off her feet.

"Kae-chan! You're finally here! You're the last person here! What took you so long?! I was waiting all morning for some Kae-chan cuddles!" Twice exclaimed.
