Bartender

Chapter 14

I smirk at Dabi as I clean the dishes from last night.
"What's that look for," Dabi asks with a hint of sass.
"Was that your boyfriend I saw last night?"
"You saw him?!" Dabi turns bright red. "I-I mean...no! He's not my boyfriend." He growls, gritting his teeth. "You've been spending too much time with Toga. You're crazy!"
"I heard that," Toga squeals from another room.
I chuckle to myself. "Whatever you say, Crusty."
Dabi huffs under his breath, hating that nick name.

Hawks enters the bar, looking around nervously.
"Where is he," he asks, toying with a few of his trembling feathers.
I cock an eye brow at him, swirling my finger around an empty glass. "Who? Your baby daddy?"
Hawks bears his teeth as he growls. "Where is he?"
I gesture to Dabi's bedroom, watching as the blonde stomps away.
"He definitely has a type, doesn't he," Tomura comments with a chuckle.
I snicker to agree. "And what's that?"
Tomura rests his head on his palms as he stares into my eyes. "He loves a switch."
I blush deeply, looking away from him.
"Can't say I blame him for being obsessed with you," Tomura says softly.
I look back at him, seeing pure love in his eyes. "You're so perfect. Why did you choose me instead of him?"
I smile softly, tapping my index fingers together awkwardly. "I guess I liked having to try so hard to get you to open up. I like a challenge."

Kurugiri has been distant from me lately. It's like he's hiding something.
I catch him as he stands alone behind the bar. I plop down on a stool, watching him clean the same glass for the tenth time today.
"Something on your mind, little lady," he asks.
"What are you not telling me, Kuru," I ask, tilting my head.
He sighs, sitting the glass down. "You've probably figured out that all this glory before you is the League of Villians," he says, gesturing his hands. 
I nod. I've known this since my first day here but it doesn't change how I feel. The so called 'villians' are the most down to earth people I've ever met. I don't judge them for what they do. They've all lived through hell in their own ways.
"Well, there's a reason I chose you."
I tilt my head slightly. "What do you mean chose me?"
He sighs to himself, looking away from me. "The application you applied for was encrypted only for you. I've had my eye on you for a long time before you came here."
I become slightly uncomfortable. I've been stalked?
"Why me?"
Kurugiri leans over the bar slightly. "Tomura lacks the desire for life since All For One was imprisoned. He shut himself off from the world. He needs to be loved but the only one who was capable of that was taken away from him."
Kuru pulls out his phone, playing a video.

((A/N - This is a tiktok I saw. I don't remember who made it but it made me laugh so hard and I absolutely love it))

The camera is shaky as it films a completely wasted Tomura, stumbling around. "I just want a goth girlfriend with really thick thighs and a loving heart. And if she wants me to wear a maid outfit and fuck me in the ass, then say less!"
The video ends.
"Tomura needs a model in his life. Without All For One, he feels useless. I've found him slitting his wrists and he has overdosed multiple times. He needs guidance and reassurance."
My eyes meet Kurugiri's. "He needs you."
