Shigaraki's POV

Dabi... uh.. Touya..? Well, him, we break away after only a couple seconds of hugging, completely stiff and rigid, also pink in the face. I look over and see Mustard, Spinner and Toga raising their eyebrows suggestively at me. I couldn't see Compress or Twice's faces, but I just knew.

Fucking bastards.

"Shut the hell up." I hiss at all of them.

"Why, we never said anything, Tommy~" Toga mocks me. Bitch. Who are you to play with god like this? Foolish mortal.

"But you're thinking something... all of you. Bastards." I glare and she just winks. Dabi/Touya clears his throat and catches all of our attention. Once we all look at him, he motions towards the crowd of kids. ...The crowd of suspiciously tall kids.

"Well, now that the rest of us are here," he says with an unnaturally warm and cordial tone of voice. I've never heard him speak in that way before... but apparently there's still a lot I don't know about him. But.. I liked this warm side to him. It made me feel.. nice.

"Guys, why don't you introduce yourselves now that you're here?" He shockingly smiles at us. Like... a genuine smile. Not a shit-eating grin, or a sinister smirk, just... a nice and welcoming smile. Everything really has changed about him, huh? Has everything changed... or has this been the real him this entire time?

"Alright, I'll start out." I hear Compress say and slowly begin to take off his mask, leaving only the ski mask underneath.

"...Compress, if you want you can take off the ski mask."

"...are you sure?"

"Yeah, go crazy, go stupid." God he's such a dumbass.

"Alright then..." Compress says slowly and begins to take off the ski mask, honestly, we're all sat at the edges of our seats. No one has seen Compress with his mask off... except for maybe Kurogiri. Once he takes it off, it reveals a fairly regular thin and well-defined face with a couple freckles sprinkled along his cheeks and over the bridge of his nose, but it also revealed shiny, dark brown hair with some tints of red and orange in the mix. Very shiny and silky looking, also slicked back neatly with only a couple strays astray and poking at the front. Sort of reminded me of Rhys from Borderlands...

"Wooooahhh!!!"
"So shiny! So smooth!" Twice gasps in surprise as he trots over to pet Compress' hair. He looks slightly agitated by it, but lets him nonetheless.

"Awww! You have cute little frecklesss!!~" Toga swoons and grasps her cheeks in her hands, fawning over him. Compress turns bright red, narrowing his eyes at Toga.

"This is why I kept the mask on... you'd make fun of me for the freckles." He sighs out and looks out to the UA kids, ignoring Twice who was still twirling some strands of his hair in his fingers.

"Nice to meet you all. My name is Mr. Compress, but now that we've become allies, I'm Sako Atsuhiro. You can call me either-"

"Or dad!"
"Call him dad!"

"...or dad, I suppose." Compr- ...er, Sako says boredly, not even bothering to look back at Twice.

"Whatever you say, dad!" I look and see a tall-ass fuckin tree of a kid with weird elbows shoot finger guns at Sako, a bright smile on his face. Sako sighs again.

"I'm never living this down thanks to you..."

"You love me!"
"Suffer."

Sako shakes his head and Toga steps up to plate.

"I'm going next! Hi there, my name is Toga Himiko!" She smiles brightly and holds up two peace signs.

"WAIT- TOGA???" I look over and see a blonde rat. Not the angry exploding one, the copycat.

"Yep!! That's me!!" Toga looks at the kid, face contorting into one of shock for a moment before abruptly and scarily flicking back into her regular bright expression. It was nearly terrifying how she did it within the blink of an eye, but I did notice how her eyes were somewhat more cloudy now. Weird..

"It's me! Monoma Neito!" He smiled and shouted almost desperately. I'm guessing Toga knew this kid??

"Uh... who..??"

"Monoma! The kid you saved from those bullies back in primary school! We were friends all the way up to middle school until you disappeared..." he trailed off a bit sadly. Toga looked at him with a confused grin.

"I'm sorry... I don't remember any of that..?"

It looks like the kid's heart nearly shatters.

"Oh.."

"It's the memory serum, kid. She doesn't remember you yet." Touya looks sympathetically over to 'Monoma', who was now sulking just slightly, nodding sadly and being comforted by a guy with long, grey hair and weird blonde eyelashes.

I see Touya's still on about the memory serum. As much as I still don't want to believe it, the evidence is racking up for him..

"Next?" Touya calls to break the tension. Mustard waves.

"I guess I'll go." He says simply and stands in the center so everyone can see him, I immediately see some nervousness and fear flash in his eyes as he looks at the amount of people with their eyes on him. He takes in a sharp breath and keeps his respirator tightly over his mouth.

"My... name is Mustard. But uh... like Sako, now that we're friends.. my real name is Jinshugi Hidokina. Call me either if you want-"

A hand is shot up in the air by a tall girl with a ponytail.

"Uhm.. yes..?"

"Since 'Shugi' kind of sounds like 'Sugar'... can we call you Sugar since you're so sweet?" She says kindly and smiles politely. Mustard... or Hidokina? I'll call him Hido.

Hido completely breaks down, his face immediately turns bright, bright red. He slowly crawls down onto the floor while making a continuously monotonous "aaaaaaaaa-" noise, then curling up and hugging his knees to his chest once he's laid on his side.

"yEAh YoU caN cALl mE suGAr..." he wheezes out. The same girl from before 'awwwwe's at him.

"Well I'm calling you Ketchup." A small kid with a speech bubble for a head smiles down at him using a ' ᐛ ' face.

"wHAteverr,," He wheezes out again. Toga pats his back and Compress picks him up, cradling him like the babey he is.

"and last but not least.." Touya looks at me and slightly steps out of the way so everyone else can see me. I look at them with a bored and tired glance, remaining as unreadable as possible.

"Shigaraki Tomura. It's a pleasure, or something." I shrug and say to them. Everyone looked fairly indifferent to me as far as my crusty eyes could see, aside from one person, a brunette girl with a bob that seemed to defy gravity and oddly pink cheeks. She looked... oddly happy to see me.

Other than that, the room seems to go quiet for a bit, until the silence is broken by the happy voice of the tall kid with big lips.

"We should celebrate you all coming over! Not just the four of you, but all of you!" He proposes and the room livens up.

"I agree strongly!" Some robotic nerd motions his hands in front of him.

"We haven't taken down the fort yet, so we can still watch some movies..." A girl with grey and sleek hair that covers an eye says weakly.

"Did you bring any movies, Yanagi?"

"...perhaps."

"Perfect! Then we can all sit back down in the fort! There's plenty of room left for you guys, too!" Midoriya fearlessly opens his arms out wide to us, a bright grin on his face.

"Ko and I are going to make a cake in celebration, so don't wait for us!" Big lips guy says and weaves his way through the crowd, another slightly taller rock boy followed behind him as they walked into the kitchen.

"Alright, sounds like a plan! All of you in the league can go ahead and make yourselves comfortable in the fort!" Midoriya claps his hands happily together and most of us nod understandingly. Twice and Spinner lead Toga, Sako and Hido over to the fort, Touya and I stand awkwardly together as we watch everyone walk around us, but only felt each other's presences. It's like those scenes in movies where you see a huge crowd around two people but because of the lighting your attention is directly focused on the main couple. I-I mean characters, not couple..

"So, Tomura... you gonna sit down..?" Touya scoots closer, his body heat radiating strongly towards me, inviting me in, almost.

"Uh... maybe soon." I tap my fingers against my leg. Touya nods his head, looking at the ground in front of us.

"Tomura, I-"

"Hey, Touya, they're picking the movies and need your help to decide between Mean Girls and Mortal Kombat." The half-and-half kid sticks his head out of the blurry crowd, now standing next to Touya.

"Ah, hey Shouto. I'm coming." He laughs hollowly, turning from him to look back at me.

"Give me a sec, will ya?"

"Sure... go ahead.." I mutter to him and look at him slightly through my bangs. He walks off with his brother to where you can hear Spinner and Toga in a screaming match about which movie to watch.

"BUT- HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT TO WATCH MORTAL KOMBAT???"

"MORTAL KOMBAT IS SO. NOT. FETCH COMPARED TO MEAN GIRLS!"

"TAKE THAT BACK, HOE!"

"MAKE ME, BITCH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Hm. Lovely.

Hearing them yell in the distance, I walk off into a remote corner in the common area, away from all the noise and people walking around. I lean in it and hide, feeling completely out of place. Everyone here has some sort of talent, people that care about them, foolish goals in life. They may be obsolete, but at least it's something. I have nothing... compared to everyone here, I am nothing. I was born to destroy, I was given this quirk for a reason... I must've been, right? I can't do good.. what was I thinking when I decided on coming here?? They're all liars, fakes, they don't want to help us, they're gonna keep up prisoner- how could I lure the league into this death trap? My league? My friends? I'm going to get us all killed... you knew it would happen.. but not like this... Tomura you always knew you would end up killing them, right? Whether it was from an accidental high-five... or you lost focus and tapped them with all five fingers... you're going to kill them, Tomura... whether you want to or no-

"Hey! Shigaraki, right?" I snap out of my depressing trance and look up to see the brunette girl from earlier. The one that looked actually happy to see me.. she still looked excited, but about what?

"Yeah. That's me. What do you want?" I ask harshly, coming off must more stand-offish than intended. However, she didn't seem phased at all..

"I wanted to give you something..." She mutters and reaches into her back pocket, I flinch slightly, not knowing if she was going to pull out a knife and fucking shank me or not.

In the end, she pulls out a box of band-aids.

"I have a pair of gloves that only cover up one finger, but obviously they'd be too small on you, so for now, this is the next best thing!" She smiled sincerely up at me, opening up the box of band-aids.

"I know your quirk works with a five-finger touch just like mine! Until we go shopping together on Saturday, you can use these band-aids to cover up one of your fingers so you don't accidentally disintegrate us!" She said while holding out one of her hands for me to grab. I flinch, thinking she would hit me.. or slap me... or something that I deserve for everything that I did to her peers. The look on her face falls into one of worry and sympathy, noticing my obvious flinch at even the motion of human contact.

"Hey... you're safe here. We won't hurt you, no one will hurt you anaymire as long as we're here! And if they do, then they can say bye to their kneecaps!" She said cheerfully... but still oddly threatening.

"U-Uhm... if you say so.." I say and shakily hold out my hands to her. She carefully grabs them and peels open a couple band-aids, sticking one each on the tips of my pinkies.

"There! Now there's no need to worry!" She gives me a thumbs up. I touch my hands lightly, her touch was so soft and caring... I can't remember the last time someone treated me so nicely... I can't remember if someone ever treated me that nicely...

"By the way, my name's Uraraka Ochako! It was great meeting you!" She waves bye to me and runs back out to the fort in front of the TV, where everyone else was already sitting, waiting, having the time of their lives...

I gently touch and rub at the bandages covering my pinkies. No one's really thought to do that for me before..

"..thank you.."

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

"Wow, Janis is a mood."

"Fool, Damian is the BIGGEST mood."

"That wasn't very fetch of you, Shuichi."

"It's the truth, Jin!"

"Gayyyy." I tease the two and they immediately turn around to glare at me. Four of us were hanging out in the kitchen for now, me, Spinner, Twice and Touya.

"You guys know he's right."

"No, he's not!"

"Says who?"

"Says me, Touya! Jin too!"

"Yeah, exactly!"
"Nope."

"...what was that, Jin?"

"I said nope." He answered again. Spinner looked shocked, cheeks growing pinker and pinker. Touya and I looked smugly at eachother, and then at Spinner, who glared daggers into us.

"I-It's just his other voice! It always disagrees with him!"

"I'm telling the truth this time, I'm madly in love with you."

"THIS IS SARCASM! IT'S GOTTA BE!"

"Nope. Want me to prove it?"

"...okay, mayb-" Spinner is quickly cut off by Twice pulling up his mask and kissing him directly on the mouth. Spinner freezes for the first couple of seconds, before his eyes slowly began to shut and he leaned forward, melting into the kiss.

"Jesus, finally." Touya rolled his eyes at the two while sipping his soda. Spinner flips him off, wrapping his other arm around Twice's neck.

The kiss only got more and more heated.

"Guys leave it for the bedroom I swear to god- come on, Touya."

"Nah, this is kinda hot."

"tOuYA-"

"Geez, fine. Stop kinkshaming me." He sticks his tongue out at me like the little shit he is. What a bitch.

"Just shut up and follow me out of here.."

"Oooh, we're 'getting out of here' are we?~" he winks at me. I glare tiredly at him.

"Stop being such a horny bitch on main or Imm telling half-and-half about your piss kink."

"...but I don't have a piss kink-?"

"-But Shouto doesn't know that, does he?"

"...touché, bitch."
