Chapter Three:
I tossed the chip bags and chocolate to them.
"Looks like you got caught,"
Shigaraki said.
I shrugged, "Could care less what those hero's think"
Dabi threw me a spicy chip and I caught it in my mouth.
Despite us all being adults we still had our childish moments.
We were all close.
Even if we had our moments of arguing they were the closest I had to people I could lean on if anything happened,
people I could talk to if I broke down and family.
... Besides Eraser Head, but that was a while ago.
I grabbed a handful of chips and crashed in Shigaraki's room to make some music.
To clear my head I'd make small beats and melodies.
I added some sounds together and created a small song,
Last step.
Lyrics....
I'd written a few lines but nothing really stuck with the theme.
I wrote it about me and Eraser Head's relationship and how the hero society needs to change their ways.
It reminded me suddenly.
Dabi and I had planned to crash a TV broadcast today,
I'd talk about the hero society and Dabi would talk about his past.
I got to where Shigaraki had set up everything.
"Ready?" Shigaraki asked, me and Dabi nodded.
"On air in three... two... one..." Shigaraki said,
then giving us the thumbs up to start talking.
Dabi looked into the camera.
"It's the League of Villains, we've taken over this broadcast to tell you our story." Dabi then cued me.
"We've lived in a hero society with unfair treatment to citizens and the people born quirkless," I said, taking a breath.
"I'm (Y/N), (L/N). During my time as a hero I'd been ordered to kill so many innocent and wrongly accused citizens." I explained.
"Since the start of my life as a villain, I have never once killed or seriously injured any attacker. The injuries on any attacker that went after me was purely out of self defense and never had any long term effects to their lives."
I said, seriously.
"Even when the pro hero's working at UA had captured me and held me hostage I didn't put a scratch on anyone there."
I said honestly.
"I will find a way to change the hero society from its roots. Your violence towards me and any other silent 'villain' that peacefully tries to make the society better without using violence only shows that you are just scared to face the reality of your mistakes. I've accepted that working as a pro hero was my biggest regret and I don't want to take the life of another person ever again."
I finished.
I stepped back and Dabi talked about his past and how he was treated by the hero's.
Dabi finished and let me have the last word.
"During my time as a hero I'd fallen in love, they refused to say anything about our relationship in their interview. Ten years later they're still embarrassed to admit to the media that they knew me personally. I'd like to say that I hope you're happy. Aizawa Shota." I finished, a dead look in my eyes and my words cold.
Shigaraki ended the broadcast and checked the media to see people's reaction.
Shigaraki read aloud some of the replies to my story.
"I didn't realize how right (Y/N) was, Eraser Head and him were dating?, I feel so bad for (Y/N), how sad he must've been to hear from his ex that they're embarrassed to have known them..."
Shigaraki paused.
Reading in his head through all the hate towards Eraser Head and I.
Him going dead silent as he read one comment.
"I'm sorry (Y/N)... From, Aizawa Shota." he said.
I shook my head, not believing him.
"His actual account?" I asked,
still in denial about it actually being Eraser Head.
He nodded.
I walked out of the room, opening Eraser Head's email.
It'd been dead for ten years now, not one text had been sent.
I was in a silent room away from any noise or distraction.
I hit 'call'.
"Hello?"
He asked, his voice scratchy.
I heard him move around for a second and almost inaudibly read through the caller's name.
"No..."
He said.
"Ten years... imagine that. It didn't have to be that long since we broke up, it didn't even have to be one year"
I said, harshly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know the other side of the story..."
he said.
"Sure you're sorry."
I said, not believing a second of his apology.
"I am. I'm so sorry (Y/N)-"
I cut him off.
"No. You don't say you'd kill the person you told you were in love with... that you'd kill them without hesitation if told to!"
I yelled.
"I didn't mean it!"
he said.
"Shut up. Just shut up."
I told him, about to cry.
"(Y/N) please.. Let me hold you in my arms again,"
He said, sadly.
"So you can get the information from me and kill me once your mission's over?"
I asked, silently crying.
"... no-"
He cut himself off.
"See, even you don't believe yourself"
I pointed out.
I could hear him sigh, not getting mad at me or snapping back.
"Remember when I would hug you close, on cold rainy nights. When the sun had set and you were feeling lonely. On days when they'd tear your dreams and hope apart, yet I'd be there to lift you up and kiss your demons away..."
He recalled.
That didn't help me stop crying, he heard me sniffling quietly.
"When I'd call you 'kitten' and shower you in love"
He continued.
I couldn't take it.
"When you used to tell me you loved me... and I told you no matter how far apart we might drift apart in the future, I would never stop thinking of you"
He paused.
"Those weren't lies, I've never stopped thinking about you.
From the time I wake up in the morning, to my dreams.
I've never once regretted meeting you, not to mention falling in love with you.
I understand why you left, and even if you hang up now... know I love you, always have."
He finished, I sniffled again and muted myself.
Crying loudly, the door opened.
Shigaraki walked in.
"Hey what's wrong?!"
He asked, worriedly.
"I-I called him..."
I said.
Shigaraki hugged me close again.
"What'd he say?"
Shigaraki asked, waiting patiently through my sniffles and my sentences filled with me choking on my own tears.
"I want to believe him... I do. I still love him too, it hurts..."
I said.
"All of us are here for you (Y/N), if you want to run back into his arms. We would never dream of holding you back,"
Shigaraki said, comfortingly.
"Just know that if he ever hurts you again, you always have a place to stay here"
Dabi said.
I sniffled.
"Are you sure?"
I asked, a faint smile on my face.
"Of course,"
Shigaraki said, smiling sweetly.
"I'm happy you didn't give up on me... even after what I said,"
Eraser Head's voice, called.
I wasn't muted.
He continued,
"If you choose to see me, you know where to find me"
"O-Okay... "
I said.
"I didn't realize I was unmuted..."
I mumbled.
Hearing the comforting sound of his soft chuckle.
"Good night, sleep well kitten." Aizawa finished.
Hanging up.
I blushed, I had forgotten how much I missed that name.
