Chapter Two:

Tokoyami Fumikage.

I didn't see his bird features nor did I see dark shadow.

"Your quirk, you lost a lot because of him too."
I said, showing sympathy.

"Dark Shadow was family to me..."
He said, sitting down next to me.

"Now I have nothing left."

Heroes and villains lost.

There was no winning and losing,
with All For One getting stronger as he pleases,
everyone's bound to get hurt.

"I'm surprised you recognized me."
He noted.

"I make note of heroes and villains,
I don't know if I'm entirely a villain so anyone could be my enemy."
I said, explaining how I knew so many heroes.

"Do you have a job for me?"
I asked him, knowing he wouldn't come finding me for no reason.

"Yes, Shoto-"
I cut him off.

"I don't do assassination jobs that take down hero celeraties,
I can take out citizens but people close to royalty with tons of cash isn't my job."
I explained, he shook his head.

"I don't want you to kill him,
I'm asking if you can guard him.
I don't care if you're a villain
because I was his body guard when his father grew powerful."
He sighed, pushing his hair back and tying it back.

"He's asked for me to look for a new guard,
without my quirk I'm not suitable to be protecting him anymore."
He explained, I wanted to interject.

"I'm not a bodyguard, and he could turn me in."
I said sternly, knowing how easily my life could end.

"It pays well enough to support anyone you're with as well,"
Tokoyami explained, I sighed while debating it.

Our debt would be zero and they wouldn't have to worry anymore.

"I'll give you time to think about it,
by Friday Shoto expects an answer."
He warned, I understood.

Slightly suspicious, I asked one more question.

"Why would he need a bodyguard,
his quirk is more than enough to protect himself with."
I added, he agreed but knew why.

"In the contract it says you are responsible for your actions,
therefore if he tells you to kill someone you are the one responsible.
He doesn't want blood on his hands."
Tokoyami said.

It made sense but I didn't know Shoto's 'hero' persona was that important to him.

"Okay, I'll get back to you by Thursday,"
I finished, Tokoyami thanked me.

I threw out my empty drink and started to head back.

Shoto... I wonder what Dabi would think of this job opportunity.

"Back-"
I saw the mess of the house.

"I leave for four hours and everything collapses..."
There were chip bags, pillows and broken bottles of alcohol.

"No matter how many years pass you all still are children in adult bodies."
I rolled my eyes at the sight of them, caught red handed.

They cleaned up the mess and Shigaraki laughed.

"Don't act like you are the most mature one here, we're just as mature."
Keigo laughed at his own joke.

"I don't have to act sweetheart,"
I said sitting down on the couch as they finished cleaning up.

Dabi laughed at Keigo as he pretended to be horrified
seeing the feathers in the pillows.

"You're proving my point,"
I said, but couldn't help but laugh as well.

They sat back down to see if I got a job for the rest of them.

"I did get a job, but it wasn't what I expected."
I explained that I was offered a job as a bodyguard.

"Did you say yes?"
Shigaraki asked,
I said I had until Friday to decide.

"Who would you be working for?"
Dabi asked, it went quiet.

"Shoto..
he wants to keep his hero title
therefore if I kill for his safety
it's my court sentence, not his."
Dabi shook his head.

"Who has he become,
if only I'd brought him with me"
Dabi said, regretting his past actions.

Keigo wrapped his arms around Dabi to comfort him.

I waited for their opinions.

"We'd be set, no debt, no nothing."
I said, they were tempted too.

"..But you won't leave us behind, right?"
Shigaraki said, I promised I'd always come back.

"Then I think this is what's best."
Dabi said, I agreed.

"It's only until I have enough so we don't need to worry anymore."
I told them.

"Where will you meet him again to tell him?"
Keigo asked, I shrugged.

"He managed to find me in an alleyway deep in the city
so anything's possible."
I joked, they understood.

"I'm gonna head to bed,"
Keigo said,
Dabi waited for a few minutes so
it didn't seem as suspicious.

"I'm gonna go-"
Me and Shigaraki cut him off.

"We know, we'll be able to hear you two
so it's not like it's a secret."
I explained, Dabi blushed a bit.

I sighed as we heard the door shut.

Already hearing Keigo.

"... Will we ever be able to get a good night's sleep?"
We said simultaneously.

I grabbed a pillow and put it over my head.

"Good luck sleeping,"
Shigaraki joked.

I just raised my hand showing that I'd crossed my fingers.

He laughed,
Shigaraki managed to fall asleep somehow.

A while had past,
probably a few hours.

It was around midnight now.

I groaned,
not being able to sleep.

I grabbed a bag,
yawning and getting a drink to keep me up a bit longer.

I had cash, my phone, a note to tell them why I was out when they got up, and some food.

I walked out,
locking the door behind me.

I sat on top of a nearby building,
drinking what I'd brought with me.

I'll go looking for Tokoyami,
I bet he's still up too.

I jumped down,
realizing how unsuited my quirk was for guarding Shoto.

But why would Tokoyami come to me?

I didn't have time to question it
because when I turned the corner to a nearby coffee shop I saw Tokoyami.

"You can't guard Shoto but you're a fine stalker."
I said plainly, he said that part of being a bodyguard was keeping an eye on certain people.

"So, yes or no?"
Tokoyami asked,
I sighed knowing there's no going back.

"Yes."
I said, he smiled.

"Follow me,
Shoto is expecting you."
He said.

How did he know?..

"It's Tokoyami,"
He called, the door opened after scanning him.

It scanned through and spotted a gun,
Shoto opening the door himself using the control panel.

"You had a weapon,"
I pointed out.

"Can't meet a criminal unarmed."
He said back.

He led me to where Shoto was.

I admired the paintings,
each with so much detail.

Dealing with spoiled hero 'royalty' would be a problem,
but as long as it paid our bills and we could survive the wars we'd be okay.
