"No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories."

Date: 01 January

Time: 11:30 PM

Location: Bar Lounge, Undisclosed League of Villains Headquarters

Izuku and Shigaraki POV

Flashback

The first night of New Year and at a young age, he acquired so much experience on handling difficult and deadly tasks given by his boss and now he didn't have any pending missions as he completed everything just to fill the organization's goals. It is now the time for him to move on and leave this group to have his own ideal to come true without any help from anyone but himself.

'My hands have been stained for so long. And now it is time to cleanse it for I've already known my purpose. May the heavens give me another chance to redeem myself, a moment of clarity.' He thought to himself while packing his things inside the suitcase.

An hour later, when Izuku granted the approval from All For One of leaving the league without any problem, his suitcase had already packed as started to bid farewell to his colleagues notably Twice, Himiko, and Dabi. Each of them had their secret one-on-one talk with the green haired and he once offered them to join him on his own ideal as well as the road to redemption. In all honesty, they wanted to leave but it's too soon to decide otherwise the other members would get suspicious of them having their own agenda against the said organization.

Lastly, at the bar. He had a private talk with Shigaraki and wanted to reconcile for some mistakes and misunderstandings with him such as insubordination whenever they have tasks to do. Unfortunately, their conversation didn't end well.

"You got your separation money and all the earnings you gained during your missions from day one up to the last. You're on your own now. Also, if you don't have something good to say, just leave and never come back. You're no longer useful."

Tomura looked away as he was not interested to take a single glance at the departing member of the league. He repeatedly scratched his neck using his hand with irritation and stress from his long conversation with the other.

"Even though most of the time we don't get along well, still I'm grateful for working with you and the league. Rest assured this organization's identity is sealed from me. Good luck with your future plans to ruin the symbol of peace. I won't interfere if whatever happens to you all or in this community."

"Good and let's keep it that way."

Izuku expected this kind of negative feedback as he had no choice but to stood up and grabbed his suitcase, walking away until he stopped and took his last glance at the hoodie covered his face with a prosthetic hand.

"Another thing. Have you finally realized who killed your family especially the predecessor of One For All, your grandmother Nana Shimura? Or do you still blame the heroes?"

Shigaraki's eyes widened upon hearing the question coming from the green-haired with a low tone and it sounded like he was very serious about it. He gave his most death stare and pointed his finger at the opened door and muttered.

". . . . Get out."

"Shigaraki—"

"I SAID GET OUT!" He finally snapped as he commanded Izuku to leave with a loud yell.

Izuku expected his loud outburst as he turned away from him, walking slowly towards the exit and let out his final words with a waved hand.

"Oh, Shigaraki Tomura…I admire your commitment and loyalty to….metaphor. Be thankful for not getting assassinated by one of our colleagues for your incompetence as a co-leader and greed of wanting to be a successor. In some time, I'm sure you'll realize what I told you was truth and nothing but the truth! This is not a goodbye, we'll meet again in a later time….hopefully."

Izuku slammed the door, leaving Shigaraki feeling shaky and enraged at what the other said. He grabbed an empty rum glass and threw it directly at the wall, shouting in anger and frustration. At the back of his mind, there were multiple blurred episodes of his past made his vision flicker and his head started to ache and it felt like a bad migraine. He shoved his prosthetic hand away from his face and instead covered it with his both hands.

He heard a soft female voice with sweet words coming from her lips. Words of love, caring, and belongingness popping in his head.

You wanted to become a hero, right? My Tenko? So no matter how scary things get, give 'em a smile, as if to say, "I'm a-ok". The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest.

I will always love you, Tenko. My loving grandson~

Whatever happens to me, find my successor. His name is Toshinori Yagi and he will look after you and take care of you. He will also train you with your quirk and I hope you could meet him someday.

"S-S-Stop…Stop…STOP!" He dropped on the ground from his stool as he bawled, shouted and begged itself to stop bringing those familiar flashbacks inside his mind.

Date: 03 October

Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Location: Heroics Gym Gamma/Izuku's dorm room, Heights Alliance dormitory, U.A. High

Snipe, Izuku, and Katsuki POV

After Heroics Training

Izuku was approached by his teacher and Marksman trainer Snipe outside of Gym Gamma. It was only two of them as his classmates ended their training and went back to their dorms to rest. All Might left the two and told that he will go talk to Nezu about disclosing his health including his skinny state and might have another presscon at the end of the week. Later on, he left the two inside the gym as Snipe started his conversation at his student.

"The second week of your quirk training has improved a lot as your stamina, agility, and able to defend from attacks have increased. You never disappoint and keep on training until go beyond your limits." He patted the other's head.

Izuku let his teacher patted his head with a chuckle. "Thanks again for helping me, Sir Snipe. I've really appreciated every advice you gave me."

"You're very welcome, young man." He nodded.

"What else do you want to talk about aside from our training?" He tilted his head and rubbed his temples.

"My colleague Midnight told me you've created your own Hero name during your class. Even before she approached me, I've already seen you and heard your new alias at U.A.."

He blinked and let out a blush upon finding out his teacher knew his new hero name already. "What?! Y-Y-You already knew?!"

"I was just passing by when I finished my session with my class at 1-B until I heard your voice and so I made a little eavesdropping and listened to everything I hear." He chuckled and paused for a moment before letting out other words.

"Switch Hero: Sheriff/Darkin, eh? Sounds cute to me~"

He looked away with a light blush. "Y-Y-Yeah…and I hope you like my codename."

He laughed. "I don't like it, I love it! I'm a bit flattered and overwhelmed upon listening to the story behind that name. I'm happy that I've become part of your inspiration to be a better future pro-hero and a student as well. You might surpass me with that quirk of yours."

"Others may think you're underrated pro-hero, but for me, you're one of a kind and admire you with the skills you have" He smiled.

"I think this is too much praise I received coming from my favorite student and with that, I have something to give you—" From his holster, he grabbed his dual silver .44 Magnum revolver and gave it to his student.

Izuku's eyes widened and made awe upon looking at the dual revolvers. He, later on, shook his head. ".44 Magnum Revolver. A-Are you serious about this?"

"These revolvers are crafted by one of the best gun makers in America, specifically in the State of Texas. These babies of mine are blessed by cowboy pro-heroes in the US so you'd better take care of it.." He chuckled.

"These are special to me, but I would like to give this to you as a belated welcoming gift of attending this school. Consider this as well, your redemption gift." He extended his hands with the revolvers on it towards the teen.

Izuku's hands were shaky and chilly. He was hesitant at first, but then he slowly received it happily. Later, he properly wielding the revolvers and pointing it at directions. "A little heavier than my Glock 9 dual pistols."

"It is made by indestructible Titanium and has features for you to aim and shoot your desired targets without having a problem." He observed him with crossed arms. "If awakened by your Marksman quirk with the hunter's mark then it would be much better."

Izuku raised down the guns before turning to his teacher, bowing twice. "This is too much, but thank you for these! I promise I'll take care of it like you always did. Man, I can't wait to use this for our next Heroics training!"

Snipe couldn't say anything but to chuckle and patted the other's back as he is proud and happy with his student at U.A.

At 7:00 PM, Izuku returned to his dorm to take a quick shower after his heroics training and solo elective class he attended from his teachers to catch up with his classmates at 1-A. Once inside his room, he sat on his bed wearing only his reading glasses and boxers as he was surrounded by textbooks and a laptop with him. He shrugged off at wanting to get dressed as he wanted to catch up with the remaining online lessons for him to finish everything for the rest of the night.

I only have 25% tasks remaining before I end this. For now, I'm skipping dinner just to accomplish this. He thought to himself.

An hour later. Slowly and slowly, he felt a little sleepy as his emerald eyes started to shut suddenly as he finally dropped on the bed, forgetting to remove the glasses and also to get dressed in pajamas. He later on snoozed and cuddled himself due to the cold breeze from the opened window.

At 8:00 PM, Katsuki wanted to surprise his lover by bringing him food. Hot and fresh box of Pepperoni pizza he ordered via delivery and a bowl of Katsudon he bought from U.A. Café, Izuku's all-time favorite dish. With these treats, he only thought these could lessen his stress while taking online night classes. Supportive lover as always.

"I wonder if he's still busy doing damn school work. Those fucking teachers are pressuring my stupid nerd ugh!" He talked to himself while holding the food as he cleared his throat before knocking on Izuku's dorm door twice.

There was no answer from the inside after ten few seconds. He grunted like a grumpy Pomeranian dog as he knocked again twice but with a louder knock and also a yell. "Oi, Deku! Open up! I know you're busy, but I brought you food here and it seems you haven't eaten dinner yet, come on~!"

Still no answer from the broccoli teen.

He decided to knock on the door multiple times. "Ugh goddammit! You're making me wait here, our classmates may think I'm disturbing you or anything. Also, don't you want your mom to worry about skipping dinner? Open up, you stupid nerd!"

He gave up at knocking after a minute as he placed the food on the floor before grabbing his phone to call him. He heard Izuku's ringtone coming from the room and it seemed he didn't pick up his call. "And now, he didn't answer my fucking call. How terrific—"

He held the doorknob and yelled. "Oi! If you don't want to open this stupid door, I'm about to open this myself by force—"

Before he even makes his merciless barging at someone's dorm room, he noticed the doorknob wasn't locked, thinking Izuku forgot to lock his door after entering his room. Katsuki felt relieved but at the same time annoyed for his lover being careless as he grabbed the food before opening the door slowly.

He entered inside and let out a yell. "Oi, nerd! You didn't pick up the call nor even opened this damn door for me! I've actually brought some—" He abruptly paused upon witnessing his lover sleeping on the bed all topless and only wearing boxers and his reading glasses which he forgot to remove, surrounding himself with a bunch of textbooks, notebooks, papers, and a laptop.

"W-What the hell?" He mumbled as he placed the food on the side before walking closer to the bed. As he observed his lover closely, he let out a red blush on his face at how glorious Izuku's body is. All lean, ripped, and thick, wanting Katsuki to go ride his lover all night. "Damn it, Deku. Such a sexy nerd I have here~" He licked his lips while resisting the temptation to woo the green-haired.

With all sexual fantasies inside his head, he slapped himself twice and chose not to do it despite being bottomed by Izuku last Friday night as he still felt the sting on his abused butthole. But one day for sure, he'll get revenge and top Izuku soon, real soon.

This was his first time to visit Izuku's private space at Heights Alliance as he roamed around to find a blanket. Seconds later, he found one from the closet and quickly wrapped the other's body to cover and protect from the cold breeze at the opened window. He grabbed a chair from the study table and placed it near the bedside before sitting on it. While waiting for him to wake up, he used his phone to check his social media and later on play roleplaying games.

Fifteen minutes had passed, the green-haired moaned a bit and slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth on his body. He looked down and saw a black blanket covered his body. He mumbled. "I don't remember having a blanket with me on the bed—"

"Because you were asleep, you stupid nerd!"

"EH?!" Izuku jumped from his bed and backed away, realizing it was Katsuki who paid a visit inside his dorm. He yelled. "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING HERE, KACCHAN?!"

"OI! I WAS WORRIED SICK AND YOU WEREN'T ANSWERING MY CALLS, YOU IDIOT!" Katsuki yelled back.

Izuku blinked twice, making him tilted his head and wondered. He looked at the wall clock and it was now 8:30 PM. "I fell asleep after finishing my remaining online task. Sorry for making you wait." He let out a soft chuckle.

"Tch. Whatever…" He huffed and brought out the food he bought for them. "By the way, I brought you some food. I didn't see you going downstairs to eat with us."

He smiled as his stomach started to grumble. "Blame my cram schedule, Kacchan. I didn't expect you to buy me food, but thanks for this. Let me just place my stuff on the study table for we could have a little mukbang dinner on the bed."

He grinned as he wanted to volunteer to help his partner. "Let me help you, love~"

He welcomed his help as he began tidying his things inside his room. "Okay, what's with the change of personality, Kacchan? You're creeping me out."

"I only change my alter ego when I'm here with you, nerd so don't you dare tell this to anyone. You hear me?" He winked before chuckling.

"Sounds like you are planning something, I can smell it, Kacchan. Is your butt finally well after all the thrusting I gave last weekend?"

He let out a furious blush and huffed. "I was planning to hit on you while you were sleeping, but then I remember we're in U.A. vicinity so I resisted! I've actually come here to brought you dinner and eat together, you damn nerd!"

"If you say so, my dear sweet Kacchan~" He laughed.

As soon as they finished tidying the room, Izuku put on his hoodie and jogging pants as Katsuki placed the food on the bed before sitting, waiting for Izuku.

"Next time, try to get dressed before getting to bed and sleep! The cold winds coming from outside are chilly as hell if you ask me!"

Izuku sat on the bed and moved closer to his partner. "Maybe I could warm you up again after dinner, yes?" He winked.

Katsuki's one eye twitched as he opened the box of pizza, grabbed a slice of pepperoni and shoved it to the other's mouth. "STOP WITH YOUR FLIRTING AND EAT, YOU DAMN SEXY NERD!"

Izuku blinked twice as his mouth got shoved and stuffed with pizza as he answered in gibberish. "I-I was just kidding…"
