Current arc: Best Served With Ice

'Tsuki was so happy. He got to take down a hero! An evil, no good, rotten hero! His family were heroes, good ones. They were real ones, they'd saved him. Papa held out a hand to him while his big brother called 'Giri. His uncle

"So, who's coming?" Dabi asked Mister Sako. 

Papa simply sighed, glancing warily at 'Tsuki's super duper secret big brother. "Eraserhead" 'Tsuki suddenly felt light. Like he was a happy cloud with the sun all around him. 

He turned his head to watch his big brother instantaneously brighten. Shiggy was just as excited as him it seemed. Though...

"We're not gonna fight 'im, are we?"

"We have to! Don't you wanna feel how strong he is?" 'Tsuki found it amusing, how animatedly his big brother talked. 

'Tsuki shifted, his eyes dragging over to Dabi. "'Course I do" He leaned over, whispering to his big brother. "Your prince is sad"

His brother rolled his eyes, holding out a partially gloved hand to the man to pull him close. "No need to be jealous, pretty boy. I'm your psycho" 'Tsuki made a face when Dabi pulled his brothers mask down to bite at his lips. Gross!

Spinner seemed to share his thoughts. "Disgusting. Get a damn room and stop making me have to bleach my eyes again" Bleach? In his eyes? 'Tsuki really hoped it was a joke. That could hurt you!

'Tsuki felt the need to look up and as soon as he did, he pushed his brother away. Eraserhead had landed right next time where his brother was.

Shiggy took a sharp breath. "Wow"

They didn't have any time for further statements aw the hero leapt forward. Dabi, Shiggy, and Eraserhead traded blows, blocks, and dodges. 'Tsuki watched in awe. They were all so cool!

'Tsuki blasted away the bandage looking things  —Oh hey, they were like the other guy's clothing control or whatever it was—  that were shot out at Shiggy's prince. This effectively distracted the man enough for his big brother to grab a hold of the hero's jaw. 'Tsuki then noticed that he had done the glove thing. So it worked! His fingers had slid threw the material at the pulling of a cord to loosen the seaming along the fingers. 

The material of the glove was still securely on his fingers, but the pads of his fingers could freely touch anything he wanted. He'd have to tell his Daddy how good it worked in real life. 

"Shigaraki, we're all set!" He heard his papa call from the rooftop. His big brother's eyes flicked from the rooftop to the hero. 

"Fine" In  an instant, the man was pulling him towards the escape ladder. "Go ahead kid. Dabi, as soon as he's up; go for it"

"Yes sir" Dabi mockingly saluted before ducking out of the way of a perfectly done kick. It was fluid, no movement wasted, all energy used was put to what was needed.  =If it had hit, Shiggy's prince, it would surely be hurting for at least a week. 

'Tsuki realized something as soon as he reached the top and made sure to pointedly tell his uncle that he was going to watch until his brothers were safe. 

He watched them play with the hero, smiling when Dabi purposely stepped on the unconscious one.  When his secret big brother kicked Eraserhead into a wall, effectively disorienting him, the two villains leapt up the walls, barely using the ladder to stabilize themselves. Three of them disappeared into the purple sideways puddle, leaving Dabi and 'Tsuki. 

"Can you wait here a sec'?" He requested. The man shrugged with slightly narrowed eyes, scanning him over. 'Tsuki went and slid back down the ladder. The hero obviously sensed his lack of violent intent and slowly inched forward.

"Hey uh... Eraserhead?" 'Tsuki hesitantly inquired. The hero paused. "Can... Can I have your autograph? Shiggy really thinks you're cool"

Eraserhead looked confused. "You want... an autograph?"

"Yeah! It would make Shiggy really happy!"

"Sure, why not?" The hero shrugged and 'Tsuki cheered. He patted himself down before giving a sulking sigh.

"I don't have any paper..."

The hero gave a snort-like breath, "I've got some" 'Tsuki brightened and happily bounced between standing flat and on his toes. He watched the hero quickly sign the paper. The hero then moved forward to hand it.

"You aren't gonna catch me, right? Shiggy an' me would be really sad. He's my big brother"

"I won't. You're his brother?" The hero extended the paper. 'Tsuki reached forward and took it before taking a few steps back towards the safety of the ladder, climbing up a few rungs of it. 

"Mnhm! Well... not really, but we're brothers now. He was my secret big brother!"

"I see" the hero nodded before his voice changed into something hesitant; like he didn't want to ask. "Was my student... Did he suffer?"

"Nope! He's safe now. His mommy used to hurt him. But we took care of that"

"Then..."

"He's better now. Nothing bad can happen anymore"

The hero nodded. A look of sorrow flashing across his face. 'Tsuki felt bad. He really liked the hero.

"Anyways, I gotta go. Thanks!" He scrambled to return back up, quickly scaling the building's fire escape to get to his brother's prince, who'd patiently waited for him with observant eyes. He took the scarred man's hand and walked through the purple sideways puddle, autographed paper securely in his hand.

He really liked this whole bad guy thing!

Writing this was like trying to cut off someone's finger with a plastic spoon. Doable but it took forever.

(Also sorry about the time difference between updates!!!)

Also... I have an announcement:
