"C'mon Zuku, try this on." Toga chirped happily. It seemed that happy was the only emotion she could feel.
Try what on, you might wonder.
Currently, Izuku was surrounded by piles of clothing on the ground that he had all tried on before. He was now wearing a japenese schoolgirl uniform that looked similar to the ones Toga wore on a daily basis minus her oversized beige cardigan. Izuku awkwardly tugged on the hem of the miniskirt trying to cover the lace panties Toga forced him into. It seems that Toga had wanted to do this for a while now. And with Izuku in the league she now had the perfect doll.
"Whatcha think, Magne?" Toga asked holding up a french maid dress that was quite provocative and skimpy. Izuku had no idea where all those outfits came from and who had bought them. "Do you think that this would look good?"
Magne thoughtfully looked from the sexy dress to Izuku eyeing him up and down making the tip of his eyes go as crimson as the left side of Todoroki's hair.
~~~Hours Earlier~~~
Izuku had woken up to Shigaraki gently shaking him and telling him to awake near his ear, while he straddled him. It was so gentle that he had thought that Izuku was back home and it was his mother waking him up to school. When Izuku greeted him back fearfully, Shigaraki looked uneasy and had taken to scratching furiously at his neck that was full of scabs. He was scratching hard enough to make it bleed.
Acting on his instinct, Izuku reached out and grabbed Shigaraki's hand stopping him from hurting himself anymore than he already did. He didn't know why he did that. He was just acting on instinct.
Just like the time when Izuku had stood up to Kacchan when their years worth of friendship bond was broken.
Just like the time when Kacchan was trapped by the Sludge villain the day he had met All Might.
Like the time when Ochaco was directly in the path of the Zero pointer in the exam even when he knew that the heroes would never let her get harmed.
His body just moved.
Izuku always had cared a lot for people. He couldn't stand it when people were hurt. It was like their pain was his own. When he saw others crying, he cries with them. He could never stand someone being hurt or willingly hurting themselves.
When Izuku reached out to grab Shigaraki's hand away from his neck, he had expected for Shigaraki to slap or hurt him. So he tried to calm Shigaraki down from exploding by quickly explaining what he was trying to do, so that Shigaraki wouldn't think he was attacking him or anything like that. "Uhm, Y-y-You shouldn't scratching at the wounds." He stammered. "M-Maybe you need to use some moisturizer." Feeling a twinge of loneliness remembering his friends constantly telling him to use moisturizer to keep his '-supple, smooth and cute skin healthy.'
Instead of slapping him as Izuku excepted, Shigaraki begin kissing Izuku as if his life depended on it. Izuku wasn't sure what he thought of this kiss. It felt better than the other one forsure. Izuku didn't hate it as he expected himself to. Infact, it felt kind of nice. Of course he couldn't forget what Shigaraki had done the first night. Even buying him the All Figurarine, which had rolled under the bed during the night, could not make up to Shigaraki taking away his innocence and harming his friends and himself. But he had a feeling that he might be here the rest of his life, and it would be best to get used to this happening.
Izuku didn't pull away until he was losing breath and both of them were blushing furiously.
Besides, there was a desperate air around Shigaraki.
He kissed Izuku as if he needed it to live.
As if Izuku was a feast for starving men.
Water for people stuck in the desert for months.
Oxygen for suffocating people.
He also could have sworn a teardrop landed on his cheek when they were kissing and it certainly wasn't his, for once.
After he had showered and changed, Izuku roamed around trying to remember the way to barroom. When he had finally reached the familiar doorway, pausing to brace himself not knowing how to act around a group of villains. He wondered if any of them would try to attack him. Izuku took a deep breath and walked in.
Izuku was greeted to the sight of familiar faces of villains sitting at the bar with bowls of ramen in front of them some of turned to greet him with ramen hanging from their mouths. If he didn't know that they were villains that hurt and kill innocents and were the very ones Izuku swore to fight against. He would have thought that they looked almost domestic.
The energetic blond villain ran up to Izuku and hugged him squeezing the breath of him. To his surprise, everyone had greeted him with amaicability not hostility as he had expected. Izuku awkwardly sat down next to Shigaraki which was the only seat available and started slurping up ramen. While he was eating, Izuku glanced around the room taking in the different people avoiding looking at Shigaraki, blushing thinking of the morning's events. His mind flipping through every moment like a slideshow. He was drawn away from his musings by Toga clapping and annoucinging "Alright now that everyone's done, we are all going to introduce ourselves since we got a lovely new addition to our team."
Izuku was so surprised of how easily the group of villains accepted him as one of them when he was only here for a few days.
Shigaraki asked "Why are we introducing ourselves if Izuku knows some of us?"
"Because I said so."
Izuku was surprised by the way the league members treated the leader and it seemed to be a common thing that happens. He felt Shigaraki's eyes on him when Toga started talking about blood and Stain. For some unknown reason Shigaraki stopped tracing him with his eyes and when Izuku stole a glance at Shigaraki, he had an expression that looked suspiciously like self-hatred and loathing. He wondered why Shigaraki would have an expression like that and what might've happened to make him make this face.
"...Anyways I hope you don't mind listening about my ramblings on Stain, Izuku, since you help him get captured." Toga with obvious innocence in her tone of voice.
Izuku scowled in his mind, he really wanted to unravel the mystery of Shigaraki and he didn't want to talk about Stain not wanting to upset any Stain supporters. "Uhm, I-I didn't actually capture Stain."-He began in a small voice- "It was Endeavour."
"Then why did you fight him?"
"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."-That was why he loved All Might so much because he saved people not for money but just because he should.- "I didn't fight Stain because I wanted to gain fame or earn money like some greedy and attention seeking heroes like Endeawhore. Sorry I meant Endeavour." The disgust in his voice was him remembering all those days where Todoroki would come to school limping into class. And when he asked what had happened, Todoroki always said it was training with his dad(though Todoroki will never call never that). "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!" That was the belief that he always had held and was the main reason for him to become a hero.
Izuku was moderately surprised at the applause he got from the villains. He would've expected them to boo or anything other than clap. He got embarrassed from the attention.
"S-sorry if I bored you to death with me mumbling too much. It's a weird habit of mine."
He was shocked at the cacophony of responses he got from saying this sentence.
"What no way?!"
"It's not weird!"
"It's so cute!"
"It's not boring!"
He then was stunned when a dark-haired villain with purple patches of skin shouted "Marry me!" Izuku couldn't help but blush at the non sequitur.
'Maybe it's just a practical joke, at the 'Wedding' he seemed uninterested in me. But from the way he is blushing it seems it might not be. It seems that the villain truly hates Endeavor since he wasn't listening to my speech until I talked about Endeavour. There was a familiar air around him. It might be because of the way his eyes are shaped and the hue of eye color looks strikingly similar to Todoroki's blue eye.'
Before he could continue his train of thought, Shigaraki drawled "Can we please continue this fucking meeting?"
Toga cleared her throat (looking as if she was trying not to laugh) and said, "I'm sure Izuku, that you know Shigaraki by now and you know him more intimately than anyone else. Let's move on to Dabi."
Glancing from Shigaraki and Dabi, Izuku noticed that Shigaraki was sending a death glare at Dabi. 'I should've known that Shigaraki was a possessive type.'
"I'm Dabi no last name."
"Aren't you going to say more?" Toga said chirping. It seemed that Toga reveled in making Dabi more uncomfortable.
After Dabi, most of the villains didn't stand out as much to Izuku. Twice seemed to have a persistent identity issue and seemed to have a close relationship with Toga. Muscular seems like the traditional type of villain that like killing people just for fun and Izuku couldn't help but to think Kacchan and Muscular seemed alike. Magne seemed to be kind of normal and didn't surprise Izuku much expect when she wanted Izuku to shop with her and Toga. Mr. Compress seemed cool and collected. Spinner is just another one of the Stain fanatics.
When Spinner had finished, Shigaraki's face seemed to go through several turbulent emotions. First to jealousy. Then to rage. And finally to undiluted despair.
Shigaraki looked like he got sucked out of all hopes and dreams. Even some of the villains had noticed and was glancing at him with concern.
When Toga were finally finished wrapping up, everyone started getting up and moving around Shigaraki didn't move staring at his hands as if in a trance. Izuku gently pushed his shoulders startles at the eyes full of despair and hopelessness and it seemed to worsen when he saw Izuku. Wanting to comfort Shigaraki but not knowing what to say, he only managed to say "We're done introducing."
"Okay." Shigaraki murmured tonelessly looking away from Izuku.
Toga sidled up to Izuku and dragged him away to where Magne was waiting and said "Let's have some fun!" Izuku turned to look back at Shigaraki where Kurogiri was now talking to the still sitting villain.
It turns out the definition of fun in Toga's mind meant dressing up Izuku like a doll while Magne watched and commented. When they at last finished dressing him with a stolen UA girl uniform complete with a gray blaze, white shirt with red necktie and a short skirt. When Izuku asked them where they got them, Toga winked and said "It's a secret." which wasn't so reassuring to him. Then they relocated to Toga's room and steered him onto a stool in front of a mirror with a hairbrush and some hair bands on the table which also had a drawer full of makeup products.
Toga's room was full of Stain posters and Izuku was sure he saw a Stain mask on the nightstand near her blood-red bed. Toga gently took Izuku fluffy hair in her hands and started braiding them while Magne braided the other part.
It simple motion made Izuku relax his body. He was reminded of the peaceful days. Sorrow began to fill him. His mother's used to braid his hair back then after his dad had left and it was just them two. He remembered that his mom had almost died just days ago.
(Izuku sat bouncing in his stool while his mother carefully weaved the pieces of hair together. "Whoa there, stay still." She said when Izuku bounced hard enough to almost rip the braid out of her hand. Izuku stayed still swinging his leg back and forth. "The hairband." Said Inko holding out here free had. Izuku held up his wrist and his mom tied the braid. Inko pulled a small hand mirror out of her pocket holding it out for Izuku to see. Izuku slid off the chair and hugged his mother. "I love you." He murmured into Inko. "I will always love you, honey.")
He didn't even realize that he was crying until Toga and Magne both wiped away his tears. With a loud sob he burrowed his face into Toga's chest and let all of his many tears he had been holding in out.
