Undercover 2 (DekuBaku)

Four

A/N my sincerest apologies! I thought I hit publish on Friday. 😓 Don't worry Tuesday's update is already ready so it will not be pushed back due to my blunder. 🌈

Midoriya's POV
It was kind of embarrassing to find out from Kaminari that Dadizawa had followed Kacchan and I on our date to make sure we were alright. Then he found out that we were not supposed to know and well, one melted down, and a brain fried Kaminari later.

It's Sunday and we were relaxing watching TV in the common area and Kacchan had fallen asleep while I was dozing in and out. I kept seeing them, all of their bodies every time I closed my eyes. For some reason it wasn't as bad at night, maybe because Kacchan was actually spooning me most of the time, just holding me close. But it's not even lunch time and everytime I start to doze off I see one of the people screaming out for mercy. Their screams seemed to echo in my ears all the time.

But there is nothing worse than when we fell asleep and woke up in different rooms, like our first night back. Sometimes my nightmares are that all this is just a dream and I'm still only around six years old and Kacchan and I are tied up getting burned by Aunty again. That we will never be safe, that we will never be loved.

I try to shake the thought from my head, maybe some cocoa? I look over at my lover, yes waking up to cocoa is an amazing idea. I smile at the thought of him loving it and stand, careful not to wake him up and sneak into the kitchen to make a couple cups of instant cocoa. I even add a dollop of whipped cream on top before bringing the two piping hot mugs back to the coffee table and setting them down.

Kacchan is having another nightmare, he is flinching in his sleep and his eyes seem to be moving a mile a minute. I take a deep breath and slowly charge my fingers and rub his nose then slowly move out. I see him relax under my touch and he seems to snuggle with me as a reflex. Good I made the nightmare go away.

I sat comfortably in his lap while I sip my hot cocoa resigned to the fact that Kacchan would probably sleep until his was cold. That didn't stop how good it felt to just be in his arms, before I really knew it my cocoa was empty and I set my mug on the table happy enough to watch my favorite movie, 'The Rise of All Might' snuggled into my lover's arms. I blinked my eyes.

I'm at the hideout and Two is standing next to me. We were waiting to finally hear back from 'god' about our next set of orders. They said it was time to start weeding them out. We couldn't go straight to the big guys like Toga or Twice or whatever but we needed to get our names out there. One and Two are here and we will make them pay for crossing us.

They gave us our list and the conditions they needed to meet before we could begin. This wouldn't be the first time we tortured someone but it would be the first time doing it on the Hero Association's orders. We wanted to do well but at the same time that meant we had to be bad, very bad.

The first person we picked was Vee. She was a serial murderer who kept getting let go because the witnesses would disappear right before the trail. Her quirk was simple, she had gills. Her crimes didn't really require her quirk but more than once she would use water to get away. She was in her late 30's, maybe early 40's, white skin, purple hair and bird-like yellow eyes.

Honestly I have no idea how the League managed to get her, she was an old kind of criminal. The kind that thought the world owed her something. Like nothing was her fault, it was the world's fault simply because she was alive. I looked up at Two; his green lizard-like skin seemed somehow pale in the afternoon light. His eyes a deep green from the contacts he wore, his hair a stop sign red. I'm actually glad he went with red for his hair, it hurt me more than I cared to admit that I couldn't see his eyes. His beautiful bright eyes that seemed to light up with fire everytime the sun hit them.
