After purposely screaming until his voice was raw and pain-filled, Katsuki was sitting in the room they'd used before. They'd just recorded it. He'd almost laughed when Toga and Dabi had bantered over who was supposed to 'kill' him. Shigaraki nodded to Magne, who stopped the audio. He stood and checked himself over, brushing off the dust.

"So..." He murmured, "What now? I'm dead now..."

Toga laughed, "Now we decorate your room!"

Katsuki nodded, moving to hold three of Shigaraki's fingers. The nan took the hunt and followed, telling Magne to send the audio over to Yuuei.

"Shiggy?" Katsuki whispered.

"What? You feeling okay?"

Katsuki nodded quickly, "Just... Uh... Thanks... For everything" He mumbled quietly. He couldn't tell the man that his throat hurt. So he silently held the man's fingers as they walked. The smell of paint could be detected in the hallway. His door was wide open. When they arrived, Katsuki smiled. Spinner had splotches of paint on himself and the room looked done.

"Thanks Spinner" He rasped.

The lizard-looking man frowned, looking at him oddly. What was that look? Shigaraki's fingers tightened in his grasp.

"Doesn't your throat hurt?"

"No- Not at all!" He said quickly, ignoring the pain at the action. It really hurt. He wanted to whine about it, but that wasn't okay. He wasn't a baby. He hadn't noticed how hard he was gripping Shigaraki's fingers until he relaxed it.

Spinner shared some sort of silent conversation with Shigaraki before they spoke.

"How about we go get some tea," Spinner offered. "I've been wanting to try out this one place but I didn't have anyone to go with. Bakugou, how 'bout you come?"

"Yeah, we can get some snacks on the way" Shigaraki added. Katsuki shrugged.

Tomura looked into Spinner's face, giving a slight nod to what he figured was the direction of the coffeehouse down the street. He mouthed a 'I'll pay' before he turned to lead Bakugou out. He let Spinner pass them in the hall.

He felt a smile tug at his lips arm when he saw Bakugou reach our and grab Spinner's jacket hem. They left the bar and headed for the cafe. On the way out of the bar, Tomura snatched one of Dabi's coats from one of the stools. He always left them everywhere.

"Bakugou" he addressed the boy. "Here, put this on" The kid followed his direction and pulled on the cost, flipping the hood up, the kid still had his golden contacts in which Tomura thought was cute. He preferred the kid's red eyes though. It made them look like real brothers.

"Hey," Bakugou said, "I'm Dabi now" Tomura looked down and watched the kid put on s grumpy face. "I hate everything. I'm so edgy and emo. I love Shiggy. My fire is so cool, aren't I cool? I'm so mysterious" Tomura couldn't help but laugh, Spinner coughed to badly cover a laugh.

They arrived at the cafe pretty quickly, though Tomura was sure it was because they were too busy cracking jokes to notice. What he did notice was that the teen was obviously fighting being a little. Every time he did something childish, he'd frown and correct himself.

They were seated in a booth near the back, per request. When their orders were taken, Tomura purposely ordered something the kid would probably need, a tea with honey. Spinner eyed him for it from the other side of the table.

"Here you are, enjoy" the waiter smiled, handing Spinner's sandwich and Tomura's tea and macha ice cream. Immediately, Spinner pulled a napkin out and placed his fries onto it for Bakugou, sliding it over to the boy who took one and blew on it before stuffing it into his mouth. It was obvious still too hot and the teen quickly swallowed it, making a face. Spinner laughed.

Tomura reached down and grabbed the kid's free hand. He had his half gloves on.

"Hey kid, you don't have to fight bein' little y'know. It's no trouble"

"It's- It's not? But 'm a... I'm a teen, I shouldn't be..."

"It gives fun for all of us, plus it helps you, right?" Spinner added before taking a bite of his food. "You made Tomura laugh, that'th an accomplithment" he said through the bite.

"Really?"

"Course!" Tomura smiled.

This took so long to write as I was busy simping over Shiggy. Like hot damn, he could disintegrate me any day and I'd be happy
