MHA Kidnapped

*Shigaraki notices* Those ropes uncomfortable? *hesitates* I could... loosen them? Just a bit.

Only if you want to. You don't have to.

*Shigaraki grumbles, moving closer* Just... hold still. *loosens the ropes slightly* There. Happy?

*His eyes soften* Kid... *steps forward* Who was there for you?

*Smiles softy* The first time I came into your class, I was quiet and angry. Why do you think that changed?

*Aizawa's eyes widen* You mean... *his voice catches* I helped?

In UA, we only learn how to capture villains, not to ask them why they keep doing things. These three are acting like kids around me, they didn't even know how to count to ten yesterday, and all we've trying to do is throw them in prison.

*Aizawa's grip tightens on his capture weapon* So you're saying... they're just scared kids who never had a chance?

Probably. We're supposed to save people, so what happens when we can't? What happens if someone feels like they have no other option but to turn to villainy because we weren't fast enough?

*A figure moves between the shadows* Kid... you in there? *The voice is rough but concerned*

Oh, hey, Mr. Aizawa.

*Aizawa's eyes narrow* You're alive. Good. We need to get you out of here.

*I finish eating and put my plate in the sink*

*Shigaraki clears his throat* That was... actually good. Maybe you could teach us more? *Toga bounces* Yes yes! Like dinner tonight?

*Nods* We can do that.

*Toga peers over your shoulder* Ooh, eggs! Can we make scrambled? *Shigaraki hovers by the counter* We usually just... boil water. *Dabi opens a cabinet* Do we even have a pan?

*i grab eggs, fruit, and milk* Alright, let's do this.

*They gather around eagerly*

*Still sleeping, smiling softly*

*Toga leans close* They're smiling... *giggles*

*Finally wakes up, sees them* Good morning. How'd you sleep?

*I wait, smiling softly despite just promising that I wouldn't escape*

*Heavy footsteps approach* You better not be planning anything. *Shigaraki enters, looking annoyed* Toga said you wanted to be untied?

She wants to cuddle, I told her I'd have to be untied.

*Toga's eyes light up* Really?! Yes yes yes! *curls up on the floor* I'm ready! Tell me something happy~

*A soft smile spreads across my face* Alright, let's see... how about a story about a girl who could talk to animals?

*Toga scoots closer* Ooh, animals! What kind? *giggles softly*
