decayed love (Shigaraki x Reader)

||~one~||

I scouted the area for a van of any color.

My boss, Soichiro, sent me on a mission to get a van. He had to 'dispose' of some people and didn't want to get his hands dirty.

I'm 19, I've been stealing cars since before I even had a license. At first, it was just a way to make some easy money. I made the mistake of stealing a $600k sports car from Soichiro.

He tracked me down when I attempted selling it, I thought he was going to kill me. He took his car back and let me go because I was only 16. A couple weeks later, I stole ANOTHER car from him without knowing. When he got the car back this time, I actually put up a fight.

He was impressed of how I almost evaded him, and asked if I wanted to work with him. I agreed, and was welcomed to his 'team' of car thieves. When I turned 17, I was accepted into UA because of my well controlled quirk. No one had caught me stealing cars at that point, and I was pretty academically enhanced.

My second year of UA was when they caught me. They looked past my records and suspected that I had stolen hundreds of cars. I was expelled immediately.

Soichiro stepped in just in the nick of time and I was safe from being imprisoned. I kept the professional hero fit they gave me and kept stealing cars.

The outfit I had kept from UA was pretty basic. It was a skin tight suit that was very hard to even just rip. The belt had a few gadgets and the shoes were tall black wedges. The suit itself was white, it had thick black lines along the seams. There was a black cape that hung from the back, and I decided that it was too hero-y. I cut off the cape and made some adjustments to the suit. I added leather bands around the legs that held a bunch of knives and daggers. I picked out a long, black trench coat and put it on top of the suit, unbuttoned. I put more of the brown leather bands around my arms and it looked pretty cool. The trench coat got kind of annoying because it would fly everywhere, so I got a black corset and put it on, the suit and trench coat under it. This fastened the top of the trench coat and made it less baggy, plus it looked cool asf. For the final touches, I put on some black fingerless gloves.

And here we are, one year later, and I'm still committing petty crimes. I almost got caught a week ago stealing a bag of gummy worms. Id've killed myself if thats what got me caught.

Soichiro has other businesses than automobile theft. He's never told me, but I've always had a sneaking suspicion that he was heavily involved with drugs in the black market.

It got so bad, almost every week he had me stealing a van for the disposal of like, 3 bodies. I've gotten used to it, but this city is running out of vans.

My eyes spotted a shiny vehicle parked in the ally between two abandoned warehouses. Perfect.

I walked up to it, there was no one around. I took a crowbar to the window, shattering it, and hopping in. I hot wired it quickly, and started to drive away. Well, attempted to. I looked at the gas, it was completely empty. Fuck.

I slid out, feeling defeated.

"And you are..?" A cold, scratchy voice asked behind me.

I spun to find a man. He had light blue hair that covered his red eyes and a black hoodie that was too big for him. He wore black track pants and a pair of red shoes. The weirdest thing about his appearance was the hands... He had hands that had been cut off at the write placed around his body. One was directly on his face, and I could only see a single red eye.

My hand reached for a dagger at my leg. "Don't try." The voice calmly demanded.

I stayed silent. Who tf is this? I stood in my place, and we stood there for a few seconds, silently.

I swiftly turned around to run away, but another man blocked my path. He had burnt skin that was stapled to his normal skin. "Are you gonna answer his question?" The man asked.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What did I get myself into?

"Look," I put my hands up, "I'm sorry for trying to steal your guys van, I didn't mean anything by it," I said, my heart racing.

The burnt skin man stepped forward, a blue flame dancing in his hand.

Perfect, he just needs to get a little closer. It looks like he has a fire quirk, that'll go perfect with my quirk.

I can steal other peoples quirks just by touching them. Since I've been so busy stealing cars and gummy worms, I've never really had time to practice making it last longer. I can hold unlimited quirks, from what I've seen, but it only lasts twenty seconds from the first millisecond I touch them. I don't know the other dudes quirk, but fire can play as offense and defense.

The man took another step forward, I just need him to find a reason to grab me. But without using his quirk...

"Stop!" I screamed, and ducked below the mans fire. He swiftly brought me up with his other hand and shoved me to the back of the car. I grinned, and he frantically looked at his hands like something was wrong.

"Shigaraki! She stole my fucking quirk!" The man yelled. I got up swiftly and kicked him in the face, knocking him down. I only have about 10 seconds left. I should run.

I shot a line of flames to block them from the ally as I sprinted down the street. 5 seconds before he gets his quirk back. I looked behind me as I ran from the ally, the blue haired man, Shigaraki, had passed the flame. He wasn't moving, he stared as I sprinted away. I felt the power seep from my hand and I hopped a fence and ran away.
