Ochako wanted to be a better hero- more than a rescue hero. So what does she do?
She stalks Tomura Shigaraki so she can snag him and make a better name for herself. Instead, she tails a drunken Shigaraki on the wrong night and gets herself captured along with him by Overhaul who seems to have a creepy attachment to her.
She's left in a big white room with no way out and she's alone with the most feared villain in Japan. He's rendered quirkless for a reason a big reason- Overhaul will set her free if she kills Tomura Shigaraki.
As the days pass by, they become close and soon they both catch feelings leaving them the big question...
What will they do is they escape? Can they still be together?
This is for my friend Decemberbellz. I had already was reading Reconfigure by ohmytheon (so fucking good by the way) when she suggested bury a friend by mxsss_murder. Well can I say it was fucking great- then it hadn't been updated (people get busy) so I created this and sent her the first 3 chapters. (on AO3)
I hope you all like it because I love this rare ship!
In his whole life, Shigaraki had the worse luck. His life was terrible even from a very young age. He had endured a lot of shit- but this right here right now had to have been the worse of it. He was sitting across from a very pissed off Uravity, the gravity hero. She hadn't spoken in days. She never spoke when he woke up.
He had no idea how the hell he got in there.
All Shigaraki knew was he was a something that was locked. Everything was white... There was A/C, a toilet in the corner... Uravity had a pillow and a blanket but that was all. He was beginning to feel like he was trapped there like it was some sick hero mission. He had been waiting for days for her to say a single word but all she did was stare at the walls or the ceiling. He couldn't even read her face.
Tomura didn't have any of his hands on him. Just his black jacket, shirt, pants and socks. Someone had the audacity to take his fucking shoes. He loved those red shoes. It looked as if Uravity didn't have them at all. She still had all of her clothes and even her shoes. That's what made him suspicious about the whole thing. Was she supposed to break him or something?
Shigaraki couldn't really remember her actual name. She wasn't even on his radar as someone threatening. That weird frog girl was more of an opponent than her. She lived in that little asshole's shadow- Deku, the newest number one hero. They seemed to be the greatest of friends and it was almost sickening. He hated all of them.
But sitting in her quiet presence was something else entirely.
It made Tomura worry. Something was really off about her. They always say those you least expect are the ones to do things extremely dangerous or unusual. She never made eye contact. She avoided him completely. She didn't even act like she was nervous... like she wasn't sitting across from a mass murderer.
"What's your deal?" Shigaraki finally asked as he folded his hands together.
Uravity stared at him finally and he felt some relief.
"What does that mean?" she asked coldly.
"Why the hell are you in here with me?"
The hero rolled her eyes and continued her silence.
"I have lived with Toga for a few years already. She never shuts the fuck up and here you are... quieter than a mouse. Why is that?"
Her large brown eyes locked onto him. They looked angry.
"What would I have to say to a villain?"
Well, she's not wrong there.
"Aren't you a little... aren't you going crazy with it being so quiet?"
Gotta get her to open up. I wonder if she's working with someone.
"I listened to you take a shit a few times. I got enough noise."
Shigaraki's face turned bright red.
"Why are we here?" he asked trying to ignore the heat in his face.
"You have no idea why we are here? None at all?"
"No I don't."
"I'm not surprised."
She fell silent again.

Hours had passed as she slept peacefully with her pillow and blanket. Shigaraki watched her closely. He wondered how she could just sleep like that in front of him. Did she trust him? Was someone watching them? Or did she not think he was even a threat to worry about? So many things plagued his mind and it was driving him insane.
An unlocking noise filled the room.
A small slit in the ghost white walls opened up. It had random snack items and drinks in a small clear bag was dropped on the floor waking her up. The name 'Ochako' was written on the bag with a black marker. He growled angrily. He fucking knew it. She was working with someone after all.
She yawned.
"Who the fuck are you working with!"
Uravity stared at him.
"No one really. It seems Overhaul is pretty attached to me."
Dead silence.
"Nothing to say now?" she mocked as she rolled her eyes.
"I-I-"
She sighed.
"Are you hungry?"
"Do I look fucking hungry?!"
She just stared at him.
"I'll fucking kill you!"
Uravity sighed.
"Then try. Make this thing collapse on me."
Shigaraki slapped his hand against the white wall but nothing happened. He turned around touching the walls frantically.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"He injected you with one of the last serums he had from Eri."
"I-I killed him! I know I did!"
"He didn't die though."
Uravity threw an apple at the villain and he caught it. It stayed in perfect form in his hand.
"He had some weird looking arms though. Legs too. He said he would let me out if I killed you since he made you practically quirkless."
Shigaraki stared at her. His poor mind was reeling from the new information.
I thought he would be dead... Who the fuck would save that poor fucking sap? They stole my fucking quirk... how the fuck can I get out of here?!
He his head whipped towards her direction when he heard crinkling.
"Why haven't you killed me, huh?!" he snapped.
She looked bored.
"I'm a hero."
He charged at her with a crazy look in his red eyes.
Maybe with him being severely pissed off that he had missed her move, but the next thing he knew-
he was flat on his back.
The hero sat down, using her knees to pin down his arm and she sat on his chest. It was rather a lewd move but it did it's job. The wind was knocked out of him as she put more pressure on his chest with her bottom. His eyes started to water and he coughed but she didn't stop or put anymore pressure on him at that point.
"There's no camera in here."
"H-huh?" he choked out.
"They left us in here alone. I searched the room floor to ceiling. I found two slots and that was one on your side and one on mine."
Shigaraki had nothing to say as his new reality set in. He had been in the presence of someone who was asked to kill him. Who's to say she won't do it after some time with him?
"He told me he would keep me here for years until I killed you. I didn't really challenge his train of thought honestly. I just need time to think about how I want to do this."
"How in the fuck did you get roped into this?"
"Tracking you."
His mind flickered over to that night. He had drank a little with Dabi and Toga... Nothing unusual there. He really did remember thinking someone was after him. Shigaraki didn't remember too much of that night. He couldn't even remember if he had tried to throw them off his tail or not... What the hell did he drink?
"Overhaul shot you with a tranquilizer and somehow another asshole was tracking me. His quirk is similar to Hagakure from my class. So... he disarmed me. I had at least five knives on me just in case. Everything happened so fast."
"So he's being a kiss ass in hopes you'll go to his side for your freedom?"
She nodded.
"Even though you're a big time villain and you terrorize Japan," she said with a sigh, "I can't kill you."
"I'll kill myself if I have to hear that fucking heroic bullshit."
"My heroic bullshit is what is keeping you alive. So instead of your edgy, teenager attitude you can help me think of a way out or shut the fuck up."
He's mouth hung open in shock.
"I've dealt with enough people who think they're hardasses and I don't need your sass since you got your ass captured. You're rendered quirkless at the moment and I don't have time to hear you complain if you can't think of a solution."
She looked away, staring at the ceiling.
What the fuck is her game? I... I can't believe the mouth on her. So fucking bossy. I almost appreciate Toga more now.
Hours and hours passed by. Shigaraki was doing his best to stay awake but he was SO bored. She acted like he didn't exist at all. In fact, it infuriated him for some reason. Maybe because Kurogiri would do it when he was a child when he was throwing a temper tantrum or when he had tried to have a meeting and Dabi would just get up and make something to eat in the middle of it.
Just as she started to doze off, with her blanket wrapped around her when he decided to speak.
"You're seriously going to sleep? In front of me?"
The woman sighed.
"Yea? Been doing it for days."
She closed her eyes again.
"That was before I found out you're going to kill me."
"Shigaraki, I have no interest in killing you. I have no interest in talking to you unless you have an idea. I want out of here. At some point Overhaul will get irritated and he may go after us both."
"I didn't really think of that."
She laid down with her back facing him.
He scratched his neck thinking hard. The cards were stacked against him. Overhaul would really love to kill him and that was no secret after what he did to him. If he had any chance to get out, the villain would have to depend on the novice hero sleeping across from him. He was quirkless. Alone.
Along with the though that he had no idea where he was at.
Fuck.
