I pushed through a writer's block for this chapter to be written. Sigh.
If you havent or are planning to watched the Promised Neverland, please don't read any of the Author Notes. They're mostly me crying over the anime.
Sigh, I'm in so much pain right now.
I've also watched Cells at Work recently and I need anime reccomendations. Pls leave them in the comments.

Me desperately pushing the plot forward so this book can actually get somewhere POV
The three teenage villains were lazing around in the bar, under the close eye (not really) of Kurogiri. The three were bored : there were no new missions and Shigaraki had ordered them to stay inside while he visited the Master. Izuku couldn't help but giggle at the thought, All for One was basically flipping the country looking for him when he was simply under his nose. He was hiding in plain sight.
The side door to the bar was flung open and in stalked Shigaraki. His messy blue hair was tamer than usual and his usual long sleeved t-shirt was replaced with a button up, signs that he had just returned from meeting AFO. He looked way more like a villain boss this way, but hands still littered his frame. 'Oh well, you can't have everything.' Deku sighed and turned his gaze towards the small television in the corner of the room.
The news was playing, reporters quietly recited information about Stain. Their attack was completely ignored, Stain taking the spotlight, and Shiggy was pissed. Izuku's eyes fluttered shut and he smirked, it felt good to see All for One's plans fail like that. The greenette jumped when he felt fingers on his neck. He looked up to see a hand covered face looking down on him, a single red eye looking at him.
"Master is requesting your presence, Deku."
Deku froze. Why would he ask for him? He hadn't done anything to draw his attention! So why! Izuku clentched his fists, trying to stop the shaking. He let out a shaky breath, blinking a few times to steel himself. He straigtened his back and placed a big smile onto his freckled face.
"Hai! How was your meeting with Master Shiggy?"
"Boring."
The other two males watched silently, interested in the greenette's sudden mood change. 'What an... interesting development...' Kurogiri cocked his heat slightly to the left, the movement almost unnoticeable.
Izuku waved at the people in the room before he walked through the door Shigaraki had just walked in through. He slowly shut the door behind him, hearing a click before collapsing on the wall beside him. Fuck. He leaned his forehead on the wall, a grimace on his face. 'Mum...' He straightened up and slapped his cheeks. "Let's do this! He's just an old man after all!" He whispered to himself before turning down the dark hallway, towards the man hunting him.
'Ah, I take it back! I take it back! He's definitely not an old man! Definitely not! He's a super young man who can kill me! He will kill me! Get me out of here damnit!"
That was what Izuku thought the moment he had entered the room. All his previous confidence had disspiated and all he wanted to do was run. All for One. This was the first time he had seen the man face to face. He had heard stories from his mum but those weren't nearly enough to prepare him for the real thing. Sure, his mum hadn't expected for him to meet the man but... damn, was he terrifiying.
His rotting face and intimidating build scared the shit out of Izuku. There was absolutely no way for him to do this. No way!
"Deku," his deep voice echoed throughout the dark room, sending shivers down Izuku's spine. "You...have caught my eye."
Oh fuck. Oh shit. The one thing he wanted was to not catch his eye! What the fuck is this shit! Izuku stiffened, his breath caught in his throat. He could feel his palms getting sweaty and gripped his stained jacket, hoping to wipe some of the sweat off. 'Calm down Izuku, don't draw in suspicion.'
"O-oh? And how have I done that?"
The man propped his elbow onto the arm of the chair, leaning onto it as a smile made it's way onto his face. "Your quirk," Izuku sucked in a breath, he couldn't have found out...could he? "Is Telekinesis... isnt it?"
(A/n - writing this while watching 'Promised Neverland' and like... NORMAN! NO! ( im on episode 9) )
Izuku couldn't let his gaurd down yet. He continued to stare at his bright red shoes. "Y-yes, it is." Silence plagued the room, as both occupants refusing to talk.
( a/n - holy shit. I'm fucking crying. Why did I decide to watch the promised neverland? Why! )
"Are you satisfied?" Izuku lifted his head, finally staring at the man before him. Deku's eyes were wide and his mouth ajar. No way. Seeing his confusion, All for One continued. "Don't you want more? You want to defeat your precious Kacchan, don't you?"
Izuku gulped. "W-what?"
All for One looked the greenette in the eye. For a man without a face, Izuku couldn't help but tremble underneath his gaze. He stumbled back, limbs trembling as his sworn enemy stared down at him. Deku fell over, ungracefully landing on his butt. His lip trembled and his words stuck in his throat. 'N-no way,' Izuku's eyes were wide as he stared at the man infront of him. 'He can't really be offering me a-'
●●●●●●●●●
Izuku shot up, eyes now awake as he woke up from his sleep. Water dripped down from his hair : the liquid weighing his hair down enough for it to cover his eyes. He brought his shaky arm up and pulled his wet curl away from his eyes. He turned around to see Dabi holding a bucket over his head and Toga holding a snickering Eri in her arms. Deku's fear filled expression dissappeared immediately, but not fast enough for Dabi to miss. Worry immediately filled the older but he pushed it to the back of his mind.
A playful scowl decorated the teens face, as he fully turned his body around, sleep completely gone from his body. The three started to laugh uncontrollably. The door to Izuku's bedroom was opened once more, the sound making the occupants of the room freeze and turn to the door.
Aizawa stepped into the room and saw a strange scene. A dripping wet Midoriya and three laughing children. If he wasn't there for the reason he was, he might've smiled but no.
"Midoriya, a 2-A student was found seriously injured last night." The room got significantly colder. "On his body, a note was found."
Izuku couldnt move, or breathe or anything really.
"It was addressed to you."
A student got hurt, because of him.
The note was handed to the teen, hands shaking as he held it in his fingers. Opening the note, Izuku's eyes widened as he read the contents.
You can't run forever can you,
Deku?
Izuku looked up at the underground hero. No way. He couldn't have. He hid it from him. The hero stayed stone faced, not a muscle in his body exposed his real emotions.
"Mind explaining?"

Ahhhh, my baby Norman!
I watched the entirety of the Promised Neverland while writing this and I cried a total of 3 times and screamed more than 10. Ahhh, he better be alive. Is it over? Will there be a season 2?
Anyway, hoped you enjoyed.
