Waltz into Endeavor's Arms

Dabi had walked into an adult sex store quietly. The bell over the door rang and he moved in the dark aisles of the perv store. The hood over his head gave him an even more menacing look under the shadows. He grabbed a pair of handcuffs, some anal plugs, and a blindfold. He chuckled under his breath.

"This will get Killer Handjob to shut up officially," he waltzed up to the cashier counter and took out some money. "I wonder how nicely Bunny is playing along with Shouto…"

———————————————————————————————————

"Yes, Kacchan?" Midoriya answered, his face soft and smooth, even with the red scar across it. He turned his face from Todoroki and looked directly at Bakugou. His green eyes were harsh and darker with the dim arcade lights although he had an innocent look. As if the awaited stand-off wasn't going to happen.

The air in the arcade quickly went from light and fun to heavy and dark. The tension was thick and hard to swallow. Kaminari backed away from Midoriya as Todoroki stepped closer and grabbed onto his small wrist. Sero and Kirishima were confused but on guard, in case someone used their quirk.

That someone being Bakugou. Who looked ready to combust.

"What are you doing here? Where's your shitty group of villain friends?" Bakugou had sputtered out quickly. He felt feverish. His palms sparked and crackled, small fireworks flying off his hands. Mina saw from afar what was going on, and she turned around to watch from a safer distance, her phone in hand.

"Oh, please Kacchan, you don't own me. And neither does Shigaraki. I can go wherever I want, when I want. Dabi is somewhere around the mall," he put his free hand to his chin and his finger tapped it rapidly. "I could call him for backup, but I don't think Shou-chan would like it very much."

"Shou-chan? What? Who the fuck is that?" Bakugou growled, gaining some self-control. Todoroki looked like he wanted to melt into the floor and into the burning void of hell. He wanted to hug his father. That seemed like a better situation to be in.

"Oh? I thought Shou-chan would talk about me? I guess not. How rude," Midoriya elbowed Todoroki with some extra force. "That's upsetting. I guess he likes you too, Kacchan. Which is funny, because you never had any friends," his bright green eyes glanced over to Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero. He smiled brightly, it was unnerving for the other boys. "No one liked you. You had followers. Not friends. What did you do? Bribe them? Call them names?"

Todoroki looked over from Midoriya to Bakugou. "What's he talking about?"

"Bakugou didn't bribe us?" Kirishima added.

"He didn't tell you then? He told me to kill myself. Funny how things worked out, huh? I 'committed suicide', disappear, then show up at your cute rescue training at the USJ. Did Kacchan talk about me then? That he was the one who made me like this."

Kirishima was in disbelief. "Dude, Bakugou… You told him to kill himself? That's not very heroic or manly of you."

Kaminari just stood there shocked. Sero in the same position. Todoroki barely moved, not letting go of his tight grip of Midoriya's wrist.

Midoriya continued, delighted at the distraught in everyone's features. "Villains attacking heroes, sounds familiar. That reminds me! Shou-chan?"

He gulped. Todoroki faced Midoriya, horror of the teen confirming his suspicions. "Yes, I-Izuku-kun?"

"Remember the Hero Killer? Stain was so cool, Toga loves him. But she also loves me, so I guess it doesn't mean much," he started trailing off between mumbling his thoughts out loud and trying to stay focused. He found his train of thought once more. "Oh! Stain was so cool to watch! Wouldn't you agree? I know you saw me Shou-chan! They should make bigger dumpsters, right? Is your head feeling better? That looked like a hard fall."

The half-and-half teen visibly paled. So, he was right. Midoriya was there, he helps the villains, he fights and possibly kills people. He hung out with a villain. Him and his older brother are villains. He likes a villain.

The grip on Midoriya's wrist loosened momentarily and Midoriya took the opportunity to release himself from the grip. He rubbed his wrist, small scars showing under his sleeves. Bakugou shivered. The cuts were healed but red and still looked red and raw.

Todoroki just looked at them in awe. He wasn't given a choice when he had been burned by his mom, but Izuku had all the choice and freedom in the world to not hurt himself, yet he /did/. What happened between Izuku and Bakugou?

Midoriya took a step forward towards Bakugou, who hesitantly took a step back. His hands raised once more, the pale scar from Midoriya's blade slightly visible. The green haired boy smiled wider and giggled.

Kaminari seemed to gain some sort of something to walk towards the boy. "Hey, bro, you can't just say that and show that you're cool and powerful! How do you know Bakugou?"

"Kacchan? Oh, yeah, silly me. I forgot that he doesn't talk about his childhood friend. And I'm 'powerful' but probably not in the way that you are. You wanna tell them Kacchan? Why you call me 'Deku'?" Midoriya looked directly into Kaminari's eyes, smile unwavering. A shock flew down Kaminari's spine.

Todoroki watched the small exchange with fear. Kaminari was actually using his brain for once, and it might get himself injured, Bakugou was frozen in fear, Sero was stuck holding to the bar for the DDR platform, and Kirishima was visibly twitching between his hardening skin and not. Ashido was no where to be seen.

Bakugou flinched from a small chill. "Deku doesn't have a quirk. He's useless."

A quick sending text sound was ringing in everyone's ears. Midoriya smiled, looking up from his phone, and waved, "Bye bye. Kacchan, Shou-chan… I'll see you two later~ I'll tell Dabi you say hi!"

And with that, Bunny left.
