QUIRKY! Vol. 2 (MHAxReader)

S3 Part 16 - Blue Ballz

You looked around the arcade, desperate for anyone to notice SHIGARAKI standing there!

Sure, he was wrapped up pretty well in his black hoodie but it amazed you how unobservant everyone was. How many sketchy villains walked around in all black and bright red shoes - like, seriously! You only had to see his side profile to know who he was.

"How the hell do you guys keep showing up," you said under your breath.

"Pleasant as always," Tomura pressed the start button on the game, "Come on. I only have time for one round."

"Seriously. Am I bugged or something?"

He made a delighted sound mixed with a cough, "I don't need that! Not when the whole world watches you for me. You can count on idiot kids sharing their locations for people like me to see."

"Dammit, Mina," you said, knowing full well she took a group photo of you earlier, "what do you want, Tomura..."

"Just a game."

"You're lying."

"You gonna call All Might to come get me," he snickered.

"You gonna have your master come fight your battles for you?" You bit back.

Oh my gods, shut up!

That comment seemed to irk him. He grumbled, "Asked for that one... If it helps you sleep at night, running into Twice was purely coincidental. Although, I didn't expect you to be so charitable."

"Of course, he told you," you sighed, "You guys aren't doing a great job at hiding, if that's what you're still doing."

The game started. Your fighters faced each other as you pressed fight combinations with the buttons. Tomura wasn't breaking a sweat and he was still kicking your trash.

"Why did you do it?" He asked.

You almost couldn't respond, otherwise you would lose focus and get crushed. Your fingers were cramping from button mashing, "I don't know. Why is Dabi acting out?"

"I have some idea, but it's pissing me off."

"I'm surprised it wasn't you."

"I was giving you some space. But you aren't even here with that dumb brat I wasted my time rescuing. The crap is that about!"

You glanced at where Shinso used to be standing, but he was gone now.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"What a waste! Remind me to let him die next time - save us all some trouble," he scoffed, "To be honest, I was waiting around for you to come to me."

His character landed a devastating blow taking half of your remaining hp. You cursed and tried getting back up before he finished you off.

"Why... would... I do that," you grimaced.

"I figured you could use some help dealing with your new cultist friends. Can't be easy having so many villains under you."

"Oh... now I get it," you grit your teeth, "It's not happening. I'm staying far away from them, and you."

Tomura simply giggled, "It's cute you think you have a choice."

He won. A red, flashing "lose" appeared on your side of the screen. You tensed, unsure of what his next plan was. Destroy the whole arcade?

But no. Tomura pressed the start button again.

"You said one!" You said.

"It was over too fast. Besides, I want to make things interesting."
