FORTY EIGHT: The Nearness of You

The black boots Toga had made me borrow barely made a sound as I drifted behind her and Magne down the hallway towards the bar.

I didn't feel confident, but I felt at least a little more comfortable.
"As I said before...the television is off limits until the press conference is over! Please refrain from causing the girl any more stress!" I clenched my jaw as I heard Kurogiri raising his voice in frustration, which was something I had rarely seen him do.

"Fine, fine...whatever..." Dabi's muttering filtered through the door before Toga pushed it open with a loud bang.
"Wrangle your sausages, boys! We've got fresh meat!" She announced, and I could only cringe as Magne took me by the hand and led me in after her. The men all paused, even Shigaraki, and stared at me in a long, awkward silence that made my spine chill.

Thanks, Toga...I didn't need this kind of attention...

"Magne! You turned a weed into a rose!" A man in a black bodysuit, who I recognised from the attack, leapt in front of us. "The new girl's a cutie patootie!" Magne gave him a pat on the head as she pulled me past, smirking coyly.
"Now now, Jin, sweetie...keep your eyes on me."

Oh...so...ooooohhhhh..!

"Ms. (Y/N), you look absolutely stunning. Would you care for a drink?" Kurogiri gave me a polite bow, and I reciprocated before sitting down as far away from Shigaraki as possible.
"Yes, please...uh...could I have a-"

"Same as I'm having...I'm sure she can handle it..." Dabi cut me off as he slipped into the seat beside me, quirking a brow as he studied my attire. Shifting awkwardly, I just nodded slowly as Kurogiri poured two glasses of something brown and placed them down on the coasters in front of us.

"Th..thanks..." I murmured, dragging it a little closer.
"Any time." Dabi replied casually before upending his drink into his mouth.
"N..no...I mean...for..."

Last night...

"I know what you meant..." He smirked a little before nodding to my glass. "Bottoms up, kid...the night is young."

"It's barely midday..." I chuckled lightly  picking up my drink and bringing it to my mouth.
"Do you see any light in here?! She's got a point, Dabi!" The black-clad man Magne had referred to as Jin switched his tone between sentences, but I didn't pay much mind.

"Don't take it literally, Twice..." Dabi sighed, an impressed smile tweaking his stapled lips as I downed my drink just as he had. Spluttering, I shook my head as though it would somehow rid my mouth of the sharp, bitter taste.

"God, that's disgusting!" I grimaced before sliding my glass back towards Kurogiri. "Another, please..."

"Looks like Creature's got her bite back..." Shigaraki snickered from his place down the end of the bar, and I shot him a glare, a new-found confidence bubbling inside my chest.
"Shut up, you handsy little shit...nobody's talking to you." I snapped, enjoying the little giggles coming from both Toga and Twice.
"Ah, the nostalgia..." Unphased by my aggression, Shigaraki just leant back in his chair to continue observing.

I felt something stirring within me that I hadn't felt in a long time. Some kind of thrill that felt foreign, yet familiar at the same time. I wanted to fight against it, but knowing that I could be trapped within the League for a long time, I was starting to consider letting loose.

They would find me. Bakugou and my brother, All Might, the other pros. I just had to sit tight and make the most of a bad situation.
"If you're thinking you can drink me under the table, you're sorely mistaken..." Dabi said as he stood up, leaning over the bar-top and grabbing a full bottle of what appeared to be a clear, green liquid. Kurogiri didn't look impressed.

"Under the table? Of course not..." A sly smirk appeared on my lips before I could even think. "...I'll be drinking you to an early grave..." The excitable pair somewhere behind us started hollering again, but Dabi seemed to be less amused. More serious, despite his banter.
"Well then..." He spoke up and motioned to Kurogiri as he placed a shot glass before each of us. "...let's see..."

---------------------------------------------------

I wasn't sure how I ended up waltzing around the room with Twice, but I wasn't complaining.

Dabi was slumped over on the floor, completely wiped out, and Toga was busy trying to thread ribbon through the staples on his chin.

Magne was chatting away merrily with Kurogiri, and as always, Shigaraki just watched.

Intoxication seemed to be my release, and I adored it. All my worries floated away with each shot of absinth, and it made me feel giddy and light headed.
"As I thought, you're an excellent dancer!" Twice complimented me before his head jerked a little. "I thought you would step on my feet!"

"If my horrible memory serves me correctly...Giri taught me...right?!" I peered over to the wispy villain as Twice led me closer to where he was conversing with Magne.
"That I did, Ms. (Y/N). You seldom wished to learn, though." He had the sound of a smile in his voice, and I grinned at him as Twice and I began to whirl around the room like complete idiots.

I discovered that I liked Twice. Both sides of him, and I was quickly forgetting every one of my troubles. We didn't even bother to stop when we heard the door open, and both Kaminari, and the villain who was likely Spinner, walked in.

"Eve...ning..." Kaminari trailed off into silence as he saw me twirling around with one of his comrades, and the second I met his eyes I broke away, racing over and flinging myself into his arms. I wasn't sure why I reacted that way, but I wasn't going to fight it. I was too sick of fighting.

"Denkiiiiii!~" I hung from his neck and started pulling him towards the bar. "Have a drink with meeee!" He looked completely dazed for a few moments, his topaz eyes eating me up like a gourmet meal, before his expression settled into an amused smirk.

"Sure..." He glanced over at Dabi's defeated form whilst I sat him down in his chair. "...wish I hadn't had to work...looks like I missed out on some fun..."

"Yeah, your little girlfriend's the new house champion..." Shigaraki announced, sounding a little impressed. I picked up the bottle of absinth and jostled it around in front of me.
"Wanna try to change that, Fuckhands?" I asked teasingly, only to be given a click of the tongue in return. "Didn't think so."

Kaminari carefully took the bottle from my hands and poured himself a glass, not a shot, but a glass, before placing it down and taking my hand in his.
"It's great to see you're settling back in, Precious..." His smile made me feel strange. It wasn't the usual tingle in my chest or heat in my cheeks. It was something else that I couldn't quite place. 

Has he always been this...attractive..?

I tried to scold myself, but there was no point. The alcohol was in charge now, and it was screaming for the blond sitting inches away from me,knocking back straight spirits like a legend.

I reached out for the bottle, but Kaminari pulled it just out of my reach, causing me to partially fall into his lap. He smirked down at me with hooded lids and my entire body felt like it was on fire.

"I think you've had enough." He chuckled, petting my (H/C) hair gently. Pouting, I pulled the dirtiest trick in the book. My fingers walked up his chest slowly, until they reached his collarbone, which peeked out from the unbuttoned top of his shirt. There, I tickled at his skin whilst leaning closer to his face, licking my lips so the light shimmered on them perfectly.
"Pretty please..?"

I'm not like this...so why do I want to mess around with him all of a sudden? After what he did...

The sound he made when he gulped was music to my intoxicated ears, and without a word he handed over the alcohol. Feeling accomplished, I wiggled my brows before doing something incredibly stupid.

I took the greatest swig I could, and it felt like my soul was about to leave my body.
"More more more!" Toga grabbed me into a hug from behind and bit at the collar of my dress. "Maybe if you have more you'll let me cut you...just a little!" I laughed along with her until Kaminari shoved her away, staring her down as he copied my swig from the bottle and stood to his feet.

"I believe you owe me a dance, my precious..." He was suave, a whole new Kaminari Denki that made my body shiver with anticipation. I hated it and I loved it. I took his hand and he pulled me into the middle of the room, pulling me close as we began to sway to the rhythmic, romantic jazz playing from the radio.

"Teenagers..." Spinner, who had been irking out since he had returned, rolled his eyes and left the room, and Toga followed, calling out something about turning him into a scaly handbag. I couldn't care less about our surroundings.

All I could see was blond and topaz, right in front of me. Trying to maintain some form of hand-eye coordination, I reached out and traced the black lightning bolt marking in his hair, and he bowed his head into my touch.

"You look like a dream..." He whispered, seemingly carrying me across the floor. "Please tell me this is all real...if it isn't...I'll die..." His arms curled around my waist, and I let them. My lips brushed against the shell of his ear once he buried his face into my neck, and I tried to balance myself on his body so I wouldn't make a drunken fool of myself.
"I don't even know what's real or not anymore..." I murmured quietly.

I really don't...This is all too...safe...this isn't the same place I used to be held captive...but it is...I know that...Is anything real? Is Shota? My father? Katsuki? Is the man holding me in his arms even real?

Kaminari pulled back to look at me with a soft, caring gaze, and all those thoughts drifted away with his breath.
"Just give me a chance...and I'll show you the one real thing in this world...is my love for you, Aizawa (Y/N)..."

"Hey, you two should kiss! Butt out, you idiot!" Twice smacked himself in the head after he called out, but by the time I had focused, I was being carried out the door in Kaminari's arms.
"Remember, be safe! A bar is no place for a baby!~" Magne sang out after us playfully.
"You're all sickening..." Shigaraki shuddered, hunched over in the shadows of the room.

"Says the guy with the severed hand on his face..."

"That wasn't very nice, Dabi! Oh hey, you're awake! Nice burn!"

"Twice, shut the fuck up..."

***I love that song so much - anyway, this filler took too long. Also, more Twice appreciation, because he's beautiful...and also also this was inspired by a real experience I had with absinth once...except I ended up like Dabi lmao***
