Izuku blushed and ducked his head at Toga's compliment.

He's too cute for his own sake. Shigaraki thought.

Shigaraki asked a question that had weirded him out. "Why are introducing ourselves if Izuku knows some of us?"

"Because I said so." Said Toga in a sickeningly sweet tone.

Shigaraki rolled his eyes and backed down. He started watching Izuku out of the corner of his eyes tracing every feature of the cute green haired boy. His attention snapped back to Toga when she started talking again. "Anyways, I'll start. As you know I'm Himiko Toga and I love Stain and blood, I can't decide which one I like more. I was so inspired by him and I joined the league because of him. I believe in his ideals…"

Shigaraki rolled his eyes, Not again! , he tuned Toga out and started watching Midoriya again. His gaze started slowly traveling down Izuku's body. Down his cute curly green hair that made want to bury his hands in it to see if it was as soft as it looked like, down his big doe eyes that was tracking Toga attentively, down his cute button nose, stopping for a minute to appreciate Izuku's plump lips he wanted to ravish so badly, down his slender neck Shigaraki wanted to hold, when his eyes fell upon the freckled boy's nipples he felt his pants fill up again.

Any hint of arousal went away when Shigaraki saw Izuku's bandaged wrists that had the barest hint of blood seeping through. Injuries he created. His family was right he was a monster. Shigraki swallowed lost in the familiar feelings of self-hatred and contempt that he hadn't felt since he was little. Flashes of screaming and blood filled his mind. His family looking at him with horror and revulsion in their eyes when he killed the family dog. Losing control of his quirk, and grabbing Shigaraki's father face. His screams haunted him every night when he slept. In fact, Shigaraki always had the same nightmare of his father dying until he had made Izuku marry him. And he had also hurt Izuku. He always hurt the people he cared about the most.

Shigaraki swallowed trying to drag his mind from the unhappy memories as he forced his attention back onto Toga fangirling over Stain for the upteemth time, just in time for him to hear his wife's name being said.

"...Anyways I hope you don't mind listening about my ramblings on Stain, Izuku, since you help him get captured." Toga said with a bit of annoyance at her idol being captured.

Shigaraki and everyone else perked up turning to look at Midoriya who was just called out by the blonde Stain fangirl to hear what he thought about Stain. He blushed a bit at the amount of attention he got as he steeled himself to talk. "Uhm, I-I didn't actually capture Stain."-He said in a small voice- "It was Endeavour."

"Then why did you fight him?" Questioned Himiko.

"It was because he was going to kill Iida so I didn't have a choice. He was going to let me get out of the fight without a scratch, but I couldn't because I had to save my friend since that's what a hero does. They save people." By this time most people were nodding along fully invested in what he preached. "I didn't fight Stain because I wanted to gain fame or earn money like some greedy and attention seeking heroes like Endeawhore." Izuku said, his voice getting bigger as he kept on speaking. "Sorry I meant Endeavour." His voice was full of venom and hatred when he mentioned the hero's name and he sneered malevolently as if Endeavour's name was the most appalling thing in the whole universe. It was obvious that he fully believed in what he said. "I fought Stain because I wanted to save people. I want to save everyone. It doesn't matter who you are. Whether you are a civilian or a villain. Everyone deserves to be saved!"

When Izuku finished his speech, everyone started clapping. The last sentence he said struck a chord in Shigaraki's heart. He now understood why All Might and even Stain acknowledged Izuku being a true hero. He really was different than the other selfish and greedy heroes.

When Shigaraki looked around the room he saw people with similar reactions as him. He growled a bit when he saw Dabi looking at his wife with something that resembled tenderness and love, no doubt appreciating Izuku's cuteness and the Endeavour bashing. Shigaraki could never understand why Dabi hated him so much. It was true that everyone even heroes hated Endeavour but Dabi hated the oldest Todoroki a bit too much. Dabi had made voodoo dolls of Enji and he even bought a punching bag that had Endeavour on it. Shigaraki never figured out where he bought it though it was really popular with people in the league. Shigaraki had once walked in the gym seeing Dabi energetically hitting the fire hero punching bag in the nuts repeatedly.

Mr. Compress was not showing much emotion. But when did he ever? The opposite of the magician was Twice who was bouncing up and down in his seat with excitement at the emotional speech, he was also clapping long after everyone had stopped. Toga was the same as if she was an excited parent whose kid just won an award. Muscular was the same as always playing some brutal killing game on his phone though he was listening attentively to Izuku earlier during his speech. Kurogiri didn't much emotion on his face though he was looking a bit proud. Magne was reapplying her lip gloss, she did that a lot. And Spinner was nodding his head, murmuring "He is a true hero." Shigaraki even saw him wiping a tear away.

Stupid Stain fanactics! What's the big deal with him?! Even Izuku likes him. Ugh. All he is, is a cheap ripoff of teenage mutant ninja turtle.

Izuku should like me!

Not him.

Shigaraki was drawn away from his thoughts when Izuku spoke again now shy all of a sudden. "S-sorry if I bored you to death with me mumbling too much. It's a weird habit of mine." He was cutely scratching the back of his messy curls.

A chorus of voices immediately responded.

"What no way?!"

"It's not weird!"

"It's so cute!"

"It's not boring!"

"Marry me!" Shouted Dabi. Everyone turned to look at him weirdly as silence fell awkwardly. Izuku was hiding his face between his arms, the tips of his ears turning tomato red. Shigaraki was glaring hard at Dabi, if looks could kill, Dabi would have died painfully a thousand times over. Dabi slowly turned around to face the murderous Shigaraki, the decay villain slowly dragged a slender finger across his neck signalling that Dabi will go to sleep with just bruises tonight if he was lucky enough.

Satisfied that Dabi understood he was going to die, Shigaraki spoke up annoyed that this meeting was taking so long, denying him the pleasure of beating up Dabi, "Can we please continue this fucking meeting?"

Toga cleared her throat and said, "I'm sure Izuku, that you know Shigaraki by now and you know him more intimately-" Toga winked "-than anyone else. Let's move on to Dabi." Glaring from Shigaraki intensified.

Dabi slunked down into his seat. "I'm Dabi no last name."

"Aren't you going to say more?" Toga chirped oblivious to everything going on.

"No. Please move on!" Dabi pleaded.

"Okay. Now let's go on to Twice."

Twice jumped up out of his barstool, which clattered to the ground, "I'm Twice!" When he spoke, he waved his arms around excitedly. "At least I think I am…" Twice started fiddling with his hands. Twice would always do that sometimes. Apparently it was because of an accident that happened when he was experimenting with his quirk. Everybody got used to his constant identity issues and mental breakdowns. Toga went over to Twice and they had a quiet and quick conversation, probably comforting him. A second later, Twice bent to pick his chair and sat down.

"Muscular it's your turn."

"I'm Muscular." He said gruffly.

"Why don't you tell more about yourself? Like what are your hobbies."

"I like to kill people." Said Muscular emotionlessly. Shigaraki could see Izuku's face turning ashen out of the corner of his eye. "SHOW ME YOUR BLOOD!" Muscular growled out suddenly making Izuku jump in his seat as he swallowed in fear. Shigaraki just wanted to wrap his arms around the green bunny but he didn't want to rush things.

"Yeah! That's the spirit." Chirped Toga happily now that someone else shared her blood obsession. "Who do we have next?" Toga wondered. "Oh! That's right! Magne! You didn't go yet!"

"I'm Magne. And I like shopping!" Magne said.

"Me too, let's go shopping together sometimes! I need to buy more knives." Toga squealed.

"Yeah! We really should!" Said Magne thoughtfully. "We should bring Izuku too!"

Midoriya's head snapped up at being mentioned again. It was obvious that he wasn't listening to the conversation. "Y-yeah, sure." He agreed.

"Yes!" Toga pumped one of fists into the air. Shigaraki growled. The last thing he wanted was for Izuku to spend more time with people other than him. Since he needed more time to woo the unsuspecting Izuku. But he didn't want to get on Toga's bad side.

"Can we just move on already?" Grumbled Shigaraki. He wanted to start wooing Izuku already.

Toga pouted disappointedly. "Fine, Mr. Compress. It's your turn."

"My name is Atsuhiro Sako but you can call me Mr. Compress." He said smoothly as he stood up and bowed as if he was a performer on a stage.

When he sat back down gracefully, Toga chirped, "Spinner! It's your turn!"

"Call me Spinner. It's nice to finally meet a true hero that Stain acknowledges." Spinner said reverently.

At those words, Izuku rubbed the back of his head embarrassed at the praise, his hand ruffling the fluffy green curls.

Shigaraki felt jealous of Izuku's hand at that moment. He wondered if the curls would be just as soft as it looks or softer. He wanted to bury his hands in Izuku's hair while his mouth was on his cock. Shigaraki shook his head to rid himself of those fantasies. You know Izuku wouldn't blow you willingly without him actually liking you. A dark voice said at the back of his head. For the first time, Shigaraki was jealous of Dabi and his looks. He hated to admit it, but Dabi was more attractive than him.

Even with those purple scars maring his face.

Dabi was hot.

Him with those piercing blue eyes.

His spiking black hair.

His elegant ripped clothing.

Shigaraki could not compete with him. Face it! The little voice snarled. Izuku would never fall for you.

Firstly, you raped Izuku and I am sure he is scared of you.

Dabi didn't do any of that, so he has a better chance of claiming Izuku's heart than you!

HE WILL NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A MONSTER LIKE YOU!

Shigaraki reeled back as if All Might had Detroit Smashed his face. It wasn't that it was far from the truth.

It was just that it was exactly the truth.

He was a monster.

A monster from hell that hurt people he loved.

He had hurt his family.

He had even hurt Kurogiri once when he was mad and lost control.

And worse of all.

He had hurt Izuku, whom he had come to love and cherish with all his heart.

And all he wanted was for Izuku to love him back as much as he did.

Shigaraki wished that Izuku would willingly have sex with him without him coercing him in any shape of form.

Does he actually has a chance or was he just fooling himself with a hopeless dream?
