We were teleported to the middle of the city. The fresh air was heavenly, and I just closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"I've missed this..." I sighed to myself, feeling Kaminari tug me along behind him.

"I've got the whole night planned out! Dinner, arcade, a moonlit walk! Nothing but the best for my precious girl!" He sounded so excited, and it honestly pained me. I couldn't tell what parts of him were real and which were fake.
"L..lead the way..." I said awkwardly, one step out of sync with him as we moved down the street.

I could easily escape. I could call out. Run. Scream...and someone would help me...but...

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world! Meeting you was the best thing that's ever happened to me, (Y/N)!" Kaminari turned and grinned at me, and that's what held me back. I wanted to save this boy more than I wanted to save myself.

We blended into the crowd perfectly, yet I was still nervous. The last thing I wished for was for the blond to get arrested. By now I was certain that the villainous Chargebolt had a hefty bounty on his head, so this was a major risk he was making, just for me. He walked us to a quaint little restaurant by the city hall, western in appearance, and the greeter led us to a small table for two.

"Wow...you...really did go all out, huh?" I murmured as I stared at the rustic American decor. Signs and posters covered the walls, and the scent of barbeque filled the air.
"Of course! I wasn't sure where to take you, but Magne suggested this place, so...I h..hope you like it!" He stammered a little, tugging out his collar to cool himself.

This boy...

"I...do..." I mustered a small smile. "Thanks, Denki." An oddly stiff silence swept over us as we waited for the waitress. I just motioned for the boy to order for me and stared at the menu, seeing nothing but jumbled letters and numbers.

"I...uh...know about you and Dabi..." His confession muted the light chatter of those surrounding us, and I just kept looking down, my shoulders stiff. His hand reached over and rested over mine, rubbing his thumb gently over my knuckles. "It's fine! Really! He just took advantage of you...just...don't let him do that again...okay?"

All I could do was nod slowly after my lengthy pause. He obviously had the wrong idea about what had happened while he had been away for the day, but I wasn't about to try to correct him. That would have just lead to him trying to find out what we had spoken about.

I...kinda wanna go back to the hideout...

Dinner flew by quickly. Kaminari chattering away in a one-sided conversation as I just hummed and nodded along, prodding at my meal. Once the cheque was paid, we moved on to our next destination, the arcade.

"See that, Precious?!" Kaminari pressed his cheek to mine and directed my attention over towards the prize station, right at a huge, stuffed Pikachu. "I'm gonna win that for you! Because I'm your Pikachu, right?!" I hated how my heart fluttered in my chest, but the tiny smile that tugged my lips was genuine.

"Yeah...you a-" He cut me short with a quick kiss, sending my senses into overdrive before tugging me towards the first game.
"Hey, bro! Bet'chya can't beat my score!" We passed a little boy who was jumping up and down beside an older version of himself.
"A-ha! You underestimate my skill!" The brother seemed to mimic All Might playfully, and yet another lump formed in my throat.

I miss Shota...

As I stood behind Kaminari, a couple walked past, bumping shoulders and snapping hasty banter between themselves.

I wanna see Katsuki again...

"Hey...check this out!" I turned back to Kaminari as he placed his finger against the prize-ticket slot, sparks flickering from his skin. A few beeps and slightly aggressive whirrs later, and the tickets began to pour out. "Pretty sweet, right?" His smirk was devious, seeking some kind of praise for his cheating.

"Uh...that's...not very..." I chewed my lip as I tried to think of a way to show my disapproval.
"I really would like to win them fair and square for you, but we've got a time limit...and the best is yet to come!" He tried to justify himself, handing me the tickets and pecking my cheek.

"R..right...okay..." With that, we bounced from game to game, Kaminari using his quirk to steal as many tickets as needed to get me that plush toy. The prize station vender seemed a little skeptical when the was of colourful paper was dumped on the counter, but he didn't say a word and just fetched the Pikachu down as asked.

"Oh, and...those, too, please!" I couldn't see past my new toy as the vendor handed something over and wished us a good night. "Now, follow me!" Again, I was whisked away to a new location, this time, it was a park. Just like the one by UA where we shared our first kiss.

Despite the heavy tension I felt, I couldn't help but feel touched that he put so much thought into it all.
"Denki..." I murmured his name as he held my hand tightly, squeezing my fingers between his own. "...why couldn't we be like this without everything else..?" We stopped walking and I turned to face him properly.

I don't want to upset him...but...

"I care about you so much...but...this whole situation...being chained down in a place surrounded by people who terrify me...so close to...him..." I placed the stuffed toy on the ground and stared at it rather than his face. "...Why can't it just be...us? Normal? Outside of confinement and...well...villainy?" I heard him hum in thought, and he scooped up my other hand and held it to his chest. It felt like a jackhammer going berserk.

"Th..this is all just temporary, (Y/N)! Soon, it'll just be you...and me...and me..." His voice wavered a little in the end, and his eyes twitched to the side. "The league is just...c..convenient, at the moment! Y..yeah! A stepping stone towards our happiness!" I felt sweat bead on my forehead as he knelt down in front of me, digging in his pockets.
"Uh...D..Denki...Wh...what are you..?" I knew my face drained of colour once I saw what he pulled out.

A ring.

A small, silver ring with a lightning bolt symbol.

Oh fuck...so that's the other thing he got at the arcade..?!

"Aizawa (F/N)...I love you...m..more than my d..dumb ass can even be..begin to describe..." He took my shaking hand in his, and I looked down in utter shock, realising exactly what this little speech was leading to. "Th..the first moment I laid eyes on you...I felt s..something awaken inside me...and I knew...I just knew that we were supposed to be together..." He was a blushing mess, and my voice was trapped somewhere in my throat.

"D..Denki...I...I...what..?" I stammered and took a slight step back, but he kept hold of my hand, his grip growing almost painfully tight.
"Y..you do love me...right? Y..you said you'd be mine...right?!" There it was again. That crazed look in his eye, pupils mere specks in pools of topaz.

If I say yes...I'm trapped...but...if I say no...

I didn't want to know what would happen. It wasn't that I didn't find this out of the blue proposal sweet, I just wanted my freedom. Besides, we were children. Still, I wasn't in a position to decline.

"I...Y..yeah..." My (E/C) widened as he beamed, almost crazily, and slipped the ring onto my finger. It was then that I noticed a matching one of gold on his own.
"F..fuck! I'm so happy, (Y/N)! I love you! I love you so so much! You really do belong to u...me, now!" He leapt up and spun me around in the air, peppering my lips and cheeks with sparking kisses.

No matter what I do...I guess I'll always be someone's belonging...it may as well be Denki...

"I...love you too..." I whispered flatly, almost tripping as he placed me down and whipped his phone out.
"I'll get Kurogiri to warp us back home! Then we can share the good news! I can't wait to see that patchwork bastard's face!" He laughed loudly, dialing a number and bringing it to his ear. I watched as his face twisted into concern, the phone lowering as he glared at the screen. "Funny...he always answers..."

Just as I opened my mouth to speak, I began to choke. Something thick and oozing began to spill from my lips, and the same seemed to be happening to Kaminari. He looked slightly panicked, but I was beyond terrified. The heaving blond by my side gave me a look. It seemed to read 'it's okay! Don't fight it!' and I decided to put my trust in him.

It felt like my entire body was being swallowed whole by the disgusting gunk, but it all ended in the blink of an eye, and I found myself hitting the chilled pavement of somewhere completely new.

My wig had been lost in the initial struggle, and as I blinked away the blur of my vision, I realised we were among the rest of the league. They looked beyond nervous, and Shigaraki was talking to some hideous looking man in a suit.

He looked like a horrific Bane knockoff, mask and all, and it didn't take me long to realise he was the head of the organisation. Scanning the people surrounding me, I panicked even more once I laid my eyes upon the limp, lifeless bodies of both Kurogiri and Dabi. I scrambled to my feet and ran over to them, dropping down between them and checking for pulses.

It was impossible with Kurogiri, but Dabi's was there. Weak, but still there.
"(Y/N), holy crap, you missed some crazy shit!" Toga and Magne were quick to dash to my side.
"Wh..what happened to them?!" I asked as I cradled Dabi's head in my lap. The unmarred skin between his left eye and jaw was beginning to match his charred purple.

"Heroes! That brawn-for-brains All Might just burst on in through the wall! And some dwarfy little gremlin kicked Dabi out cold..." Magne explained, sweat glistening against her cheeks.
"Yeah! It was a one hit K.O! Then some pro guy messed with Kurogiri's insidey bits! He was like paper!" Toga added, chewing her nails and squirming on the spot.

Gran Torino and Edgeshot..?

"So...that's why we-" I trailed off into a startled yip as my collar buzzed tight around my throat.
"Leave him alone, Precious. He's fine. Not someone you need to worry about..." Kaminari pulled me up to my feet by the strap of my dress, his expression matching his darkened voice.

"That was uncalled for..." Magne warned, looking quite agitated by the use of his quirk against me.
"This ain't the time to be a yandere, zipzap! We're toast!" It was strange to see Toga so scared, and I wasn't sure whether I liked it or hated it.

I'm gonna be saved...but...I don't want most of these guys to get hurt...

"Miss Aizawa...or, should I say, Miss (L/N)..?" I flinched upon hearing that dreaded surname, and slowly turned to the man I assumed was All For One. "I'm glad I finally get to meet you in person. Sadly, it must be under such frustrating circumstances."

I unintentionally edged into Kaminari's side, and he curled his arm around my waist protectively.
"I wouldn't say s..sadly..." I growled, nervous to get too mouthy around someone so dangerous.

"Your father seems quite eager to be reunited with you. He's quite close by, actually. Closer than you may think..." The second those words left his hidden lips, my head snapped around in search for my father. "Oh, he's not right here, but he's nearby. Can't you feel it?"

Now that he mentioned it, the air seemed heavy. Heavier than the fear of the villains, it was like a thick, forceful presence reaching out.

"Daddy dearest is always close, sis! So so close! Always watching! Always work work working!~" Hyena bounded up and slung his arm around my shoulder. He seemed to be thrilled about the change of events. "I smell a fight! I smell a fight or five!~"

There was a sharp, keen glint in his eye, and just as I was about to ask him what he meant by that, he yanked me into his chest, leaning to the side. A blur of what looked like white material shot past, right where I had been standing, before it retracted as quick as it had come.

I..I know that attack..!

"Get away from my fucking sister!" That familiar voice made my eyes water as I was, again, thrown to the side, before a surging blast of heat and embers skimmed past both Hyena and Kaminari.
"Woo, boy! The boom boom boy almost turned lover girl into rump roast!" Hyena's lips spread into a Cheshire grin, the tips of his hair singed and smoking. "And did I say five?! I meant six! Six six, sexy six!"

I honestly paid no mind to All Might, who made a bold, heroic entrance by attacking All For One. I could only stare through my tears, wide eyed and choking back sobs of relief, at the group of five that approach where we all stood.

My brother.

Kirishima Eijirou.

Todoroki Shoto.

Shinso Hitoshi...

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER, YOU DIRTY FUCKING VILLAINS!"

...and my Bakugou Katsuki...

***Denki really said put a ring on it***
