Wings

Chapter 60

Morning came around; Eva woke up on her side; being spooned by a sound-asleep Toya. She had her head on Shigaraki's chest, her hand resting in the middle of his torso.

"Can you think of a punishment worse than death?" asked Shigaraki before Eva could move. "Well, what would be worse?"

"To me...being human," answered Eva; he looked at her. Eva wiggled out of Toya's grip a bit, then turned putting her body on Shigaraki a bit. Their chests touching and their faces very close to each other. "I know I tried to blend in during the past, while I lived among them, but humanity truly seems to suck. Even before Quirks, humans have always been so power hungry; now with Quirks it was like giving them a rope."

He studied her. "Do you know how Quirks came about?"

Eva shook her head. "That's a phenomenon that we can't even figure out how it happened...I hope in another universe we are friends." 

"What?" asked Shigaraki thrown off, Eva moved her head closer; their eyes connected; noses almost touching. 

"I know I shouldn't, but I like you," answered Eva putting a hand on her face. He searched her eyes heavily, then looked at Toya. He had just shifted a bit, his head now laid on Eva's back, wrapped his arms around her tighter. "If he was a little less clingy, then perhaps." 

Shigaraki shook his head.  "You should be more relaxed; he isn't allowed to kill you." Eva seemed unsure of what to say; her cheeks grew red. "Cat got your tongue?" 

"The male body tends to receive about 3-5 uh...during the night each lasting 20-30 minutes," explained Eva; she lifted the blanket and glanced back. They had screwed the day before when Shigaraki had stepped out during his full day of being in charge. "It's been getting easier to sleep through."

Shigaraki made a face. "What are you talking about?" 

Eva grew even redder, she sighed looking at Toya. "I'm talking about erections." Shigaraki smiled holding in a laugh. "Only reason I'm awake right now." He started laughing, she looked at him. "It's not funny." Shigaraki shook his head before kissing her; she kissed back. Eva put both hands on his face while deepening the kiss. Shigaraki started to smile, this made Eva deepen the kiss even more. Eva pulled back, moving down a bit, putting her head back on his chest. Shigaraki freed his arm, then put it around Eva. After making sure, he had a glove on his hand, he put it on the back of Eva's head, and he started to play with her hair a bit. They remained like that till they fell asleep.

Eva was now strapped standing in a starfish position; her hands cuffed away from her; and feet flat on the ground. She had some clothing covering her chest. Shigaraki sat on a chair at the doorway, playing away on a video game; he kept glancing over.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Spinner; they were taking the bondage off one wing at a time.

"Tomura is here to make sure she doesn't try anything funny," said All For One as the bondage came off, they watched fairy dust fall to the floor. He strapped on a glove; then reached over.

"Can Spinner do it?" asked Eva suddenly. "Please, sir."

Spinner got close, cupping a hand over her ear. "Why do you want me to do it?"

'I don't want some creepy old guy touching my wings,' answered Eva.

Spinner was thrown off a second. 'Why not Shiggy?'

'I don't want to get dusted by accident,' said Eva. 'Out of everyone in this room, I trust you most with it.' 

"Very well," agreed All For One; he grabbed a tool off the table and went over to her fingers; as Spinner peeled off the shedding skin on her wings, All For One began to rip off her nails, one by one. Eva watched as her dark blue blood dripped to the ground; two puddles slowly growing larger. Every time Eva managed to grow any sort of nail back, All For One was sure to rip it out. Eva concluded the honey and milk she was given every day was mainly to speed up her body's healing. In all honesty, Eva was in a lot of pain every day, some days were worse than others.  Spinner tapped her back.
