The Wolf and the Frog ( Tsuyu Asui x Male Reader)

Chapter 37: Torn ideals

"Heh heh heh. Look at how you look now you filthy mongrel. I think I'm satisfied for now. I'm gonna enjoy this for a while longer."

I slowly lift my head up as I look up to the person in front of me. With the faint light from the crack of the door, I could still make up the person in front of me. With his dark tattered robes, I watch as his right arm shifted from blades back into fingers. The man in front was the villain, Malice.

I watched him walk away, cackling to himself as he enjoyed the predicament I was in. Unfortunately I was trapped in the villain's hideout after rescuing Bakugo. Unfortunately this resulted in me falling into the portal. After falling through, I was immediately tied up and placed into a dark closet, meaning I had no way to summon Zwei.

For two days so far, Malice would come into the closet to use his quirk on me. I look at my body as I saw it covered in the tattered clothes I wore before being captured. Underneath it all was the cuts that were left by Malice. Fresh and dried blood covered my arms and legs as well as the floor.

"Stay strong partner. I'm sure the heroes will arrive soon"* Zwei said to me.

"Not soon enough...I don't know how much more I can take this Zwei..." I whispered back. "Besides there's no guarantee they'll let him keep me here for much longer..."

Slowly I hear the door creak open as I look up to see who's entering the room. With a moue of concern, I watched as a girl in a sailor school uniform walked inside humming happily with a glass of water. I wasn't sure why but after the last two days, something about this girl really worried me.

"Hey there Y/n" she said cheerily. She lifted the glass to my mouth. I could feel the water enter my mouth as I gulped it down. First time she tried to do this, I did struggled but she made it clear they weren't trying to poison me. Still I tried not to talk to her if I can.

"You know Y/n....you look pretty handsome with all that blood on you" she said as she leaned closer towards me.

I gulped as I look at her. Though it was hard to see, I could of sworn she was blushing. And what does she mean I look handsome.

"It's not fair Malice gets to bloody you up by himself. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I help bloody you up a bit more" she said as she took a scalpel from her skirt.

I began to panic as I tried to think of a way to get out of this. However before I can think of something, the door slams open to reveal a guy in a bodysuit appears.

"Toga it time for the conference! Get your ass over here!" He said in two different tones. Confused I just stared at him as Toga groaned.

"Aww ok. I'll see you later Y/n!" She said as she headed towards the door.

As they shut the door, I let out a breath as I tried to relax. As I continue to relax myself, a thought goes across my mind.

" Someone please...come save me..."

Tsuyu pov

I can't believe what I just heard. Don't they realize how insane this is...

Hear I am, standing in Midoriya's hospital room, with the rest of the class as they tell us a way to rescue Y/n.

"So let me get this straight..." I heard Mina say carefully. "You're gonna ask Momo to make you another receiver, track it to the bad guys, and rescue Y/n all by yourselves?"

"Yeah" said Kirishima.

"Some of the villains at the camp planned to kill us. They tried to kidnapped Bakugo, only for Y/n to get taken instead." Todoroki explained calmly. "What don't know is how long they'll plan to let him live. This is why were going after him."

I felt a strong chill go down my spine as the worst thought of Y/n appeared in mind. I gripped my arms around me as I tried to calm myself down.

"Have you two lost your minds?!" Iida bursted out loud, the look of worry evident on his face.

"We should leave this to All might! He'll know what to do!" Mineta tried to reason. "Besides, Mr. Aizawa only gave us permission to use our quirks at the training camp!"

"Mineta is correct. Though, I'm part of the reason we failed. So I can't talk." Added Tokoyami.

"You guys! Tsuyu you agree with us right?!" Kirishima asked me.

I didn't know what to say at first. For the first time, my mind and heart didn't match up. I trembled as I let the words come out.

" I think...that despite how shocked we are...we still need to be rational. It doesn't matter how noble your intentions are. If you guys go out there trying to find the bad guys...and knowing that you're breaking the rules...then you're acting like villains, not heroes."

Everyone stared at me. Some with shocked expressions and some with looks of pity.

"But Tsuyu, this is about Y/n. Don't you want him to be safe?" Kirishima asked quietly.

"Of course I do...I wouldn't want anything else but that. But that doesn't give us the excuse to break the law" I told him.

"But-"

"That's enough. Can't you tell how much she's struggling with all this!?" Mina shouted. "None of us knows what she's going through. None of us has had someone we loved held hostage by villains!"

The atmosphere in the room got quieter after Mina's outburst. Suddenly the door knocked as a doctor opened it.

"Excuse me for interrupting you. I need to speak with Midoriya about some things privately."

As everyone headed out the room, I noticed Kirishima heading towards Midoriya.

"We talked to Yaoyorozu yesterday. If we're doing this, it has to be tonight.

I held back tears as I slowly walk out the room.

Please Y/n...please be ok.

Hey everyone Lynx here. I'm really sorry for how long it took to update and how short it was. Lots of small things just kept popping up and preventing me from writing. Though the main the is I just feel...burnt out in a way. I started this as a hobby and something I can enjoy doing. Some where along the way it slowly turned into something I felt obligated to do. It's not like I don't enjoy writing and seeing the comments people behind. I just....feel like I can't do justice is all. I don't know maybe I'm just overthinking it. I hope you can forgive me. Until next time.
