Blood Decay

Chapter Five

I woke up next to a warm feeling, which I curled up to more. After a few minutes I felt a stirring and finally opened my eyes to realize that warm feeling was Shigaraki. I guess we both ended up falling asleep last night and ended up cuddling just like we did when we were younger. He was always a heavy sleeper so I knew I could escape his grip without him waking up. Just as I started to slip out from his grip Dabi walked right in the room. We both froze staring at each other. He just started to smirk as I broke from shigaraki's grasp. "Awe your cheating on me?" He pouted in a fake sad voice as he helped me up.

"First off Im not cheating on anyone and second there's nothing going on you burnt crispy cream donut." I shot back as my feet landed on the floor.

"That doesn't look like nothing, seems like something to me." He retored, his smirk only getting bigger. Which prompted me to flick his forehead.

"It was nothing, now can you tell me why you came in here or leave so I can change." I said.

"Oh kurogiri wanted to speak with you so he sent me up here. And I'll be on my way now. Just don't take to long." He replied then shut the door behind him. I took my clothes to the bathroom and changed then made my way down to the first floor of the bar. All eyes were on me as I walked down the stairs. Toga and twice seemed very concerned as I sat down besides Mr compress avoiding eye contact with Shinsou. I was still pissed about our fight last night and I didn't care to get in another so early in the morning. I did however see bakugo with his mouth taped shut so I assumed they did they same to Shinsou. That thought alone made me laugh. I held a conversation with Mr compress until there was a crashing sound. Mr and him turned around to see bakugo on the ground. I guess he tried to break the chair but, ended up face first on the ground. Everyone ended up laughing which woke up shigaraki. He came down stairs to see what everyone was laughing about a found a young bakugo still in that position as no one really cared to sit him back straight up again. Shigaraki got on to us for Treating him like that since we are trying to recruit him. He ripped the tape off of his mouth and then he went. Oh boy can that kid yell. He was yelling at us for what seemed like hours about how the heros would find us and that we wouldn't get away with this. You know the normal cliche stuff one would say in him current position. He finally got enough if hearing him blabber on and out the tape back on his mouth. The day went by as normal. We saw a new report on the news about the two kids that were kidnapped by us. It hurt my heart alittle to see both my uncle's on the tv but there was nothing I could do. They were being slaughtered by the press. The press was going in about how unsafe the UA high school was, and how there was already two attacks on it by us. They were being cornered into a hole. They were trying to make it seem like they had it under control but by there reaction they didn't. A few more days passed since then and there was no advance in there search for the two kids. At some point we ended up wiping Shinsou's memory and kurogiri transported him back to UA since he made it clear he wasn't going to join us.

Bakugo made it clear he wasn't going to join us to, but shigaraki wasn't ready to give up yet. I could tell bakugo was breaking alittle. As everyday went by we manipulated him a little more. I could tell his weak spot was always believing that his number one hero All Might would always be there to save everyone. But as days turned to weeks and UA eventually gave up on looking for him, his weak spot was getting weaker and he was crumbling. I mean when you believe in something so long and it always seemed to be true and all of a sudden it starts looking like you were wrong the whole time your hope dwindles away. And that was exactly was happening to him. With the constant manipulating and his beliefs becoming false he finally broke into peices. He was finally our pawn, he was now one of us. That night we left him in his own room but still trapped, we couldn't trust him fully yet. I went outside to smoke and saw someone else outside.

"What are you doing out here so late?" I asked Shigaraki as I sat down beside him.

"Just came out here for some fresh air, dear. But I could ask you the same thing." He replied. I just waved my cigarettes in front of him and he shook his head while stifling a laugh. "Those are going to kill you one day you know."

"That's the point." I remarked as I handed him the cigarette and waited more him to pass it back to me. "Penny for your thoughts?"

" I was just thinking about our childhood. It was so peaceful at one point until everything turned to shit. I still don't remember when that happened. I left because I had nothing left but you left to find yourself. Did you ever find yourself?" He asked me. I thought about it for a minute till a formed a response.

" I'm not entirely sure, it's a hard subject to wrap my head around, but I can tell you I feel I'm getting closer to a purpose." I replied. He just hummed a response back before speaking again.

"I know I wasn't always there for you when we were younger but I promise I'll help you find that purpose. You were always the one person I could trust. And that means a lot. No matter what I want you to know I'll be there for you wether it's on my last leg or not." He remarked.

This is the first time I've ever seen him express this much emotion ever since we were little. It brought back some feelings I haven't felt for a while. We talked about a few other things until we headed to bed. I know even if we never said anything about it we restored our old relationship. That bond we used to have reappeared again, it made us closer wether we noticed it or not. It just matters how long it stays until something like before happens again.
