8; 愚かなうそつき

Tomura watched Toga adjust the straightjacket on Bakugou.

"Good job, cutie!" Tomura grinned to himself.

"So... What's the full plan?" Dabi voiced as he set up the camera.

"Since the heroes think we're not a  threat; we're gonna send a ransom video. Obviously we don't actually want a ransom. But if we introduce a time limit before we" He made quotes into the air. "'Kill' Bakugou, it'll give a little panic. And when they see him,all the little heroes will send out everyone possible"

"Then we'll be found"

"Not quite. We'll be having some dipshit from Musutafu to hand it off. It'll throw them off"

"Woah. Did you make a decent plan for once?"

"Oh shut your mouth pretty boy" He rolled his eyes as Dabi cackled, crossing to stand next to Bakugou and Toga.

"Hi Shiggy!" The kid smiled.

"Hi kid. You know what we're doin' right?"

"Mnhm!" The boy was rocking on his feet. "I gotta be scared. Like in a scary movie!"

"You're so cute!!" Toga squealed from behind the kid as she fiddled with the straps. The kid flushed, obviously not used to such statements.

"Yeah, but we're not really gonna be hurting you"

"I know" The kid smiled softly, eyes turning to crescents. "Just pretend" Toga pinched his cheek and the boy made a face. "Hey Shiggy?"

"What?"

"When we're done, can... can we play games again?"

"Of course"

Toga grinned at him an Tomura scowled at her, "What'd you think you're lookin' at?" She simply giggled in return, whispering to Bakugou, who also giggled, but much quieter. Tomura let himself give a smile.

"All set!" Dabi announced. "Let's go!" It was an expensive camera. Or, it would've been. It sat on a tripod in front of the chair they'd tie him to. Tomura nodded to Dabi and gave a head tilt towards the chair to Toga. She skipped to it, pulling Bakugou to it, who stumbled along with her. Tomura pulled off his gloves and carefully slipped on the pale pinky cover. It matched his skin colour so it'd seem like he was actually close to touching the blonde. Toga was applying fake tears to the boys eyes as he did that, and had applied fake bruises with makeup along his jaw and left eyebrow. He watched as she took an eye dropper and applies tear tracks. They had already made his eyes red rimmed and bloodshot. The bloodshot look was achieved by having the kid hold onions near his face and pull them open.. A bright idea from Spinner. But it was accurated by Kurogiri, who told the kid a sad story as Toga got the jacket on him. Everything was all set.

'Tsuki was a little unsure. He knew that when he was big again he might be mad at himself, but he wanted Shiggy to be happy. And everyone was so nice! He even got to be an actor and be like one of the people that was in the movies that big him watched. Dabi waves are him from the camera and he waved with his body back, making the man laugh. He liked it here. He made a frown as his secret big brother made the motion, then he furrowed his eyebrows. He went through the expressions as the blue-haired man directed him to.

"We're gonna start now, okay, kid?" The man told him, he nodded, "good, look a little scared" He did as told; thinking about how worried his daddy would be. He'd been gone for a while. His mommy was probably not worried, but his daddy was.

"–once that's up..." He heard Shiggy tell the camera. From behind it, Dabi motioned for him to struggle, he did so, upping his feared expression as they had planned. He was like a real actor now. A hand touched his cheek and he flinched away. He was doing so good, like a real zombie movie actor! He should have everyone play zombies with him later.

"And done!" Dabi announced with a grin. "You did real good, kid" 'Tsuki felt his cheeks get warm and he looked away. Unfortunately Toga was in his vision and she pinched his cheeks.

"You were so cool! Like a real actor, cutie!" 'Tsuki's cheeks hurt from smiling. And her fingers. He liked being here. It was so fun!

The ropes holding him turned to ash and he looked up. Shiggy smiled at him.

"Shiggy! Shiggy! How'd I do?"

"Really good, kid. You could be a real actor"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Thank you!"

"Hey! We just told you, how come you only believe Crusty Dusty?"

'Tsuki giggled, curling in on himself as he laughed.

"Crusty Dusty?" Shiggy spun to Dabi.
