Want Me

Chapter 10 - Together At Last

Keigo worked his way to Enji's office without being noticed and waited silently till everyone left his office. Enji got up to look for a file and in a single breath Keigo held a blood red knife to his throat.

"I told you not to interfere with my business."

"Keigo, please. Just give me time, what can I do to fix this."

Keigo stepped away and sat in Enji's chair and put his feet on the desk. Enji sat in the other seats irritated. "Well that depends on if your son is able to get his shit together. You know I was doing you a favor when I made him the lead singer. You would fund everything and I would keep an eye on him but you just had to let your insecurities get you."

"What if she had found out he was my son, she would stop at nothing. She was out for blood."

"Can you blame her? If she had known the truth that you were drunk and getting your dick sucked when you crashed into them. Oh and that whore with you died as well, you really dodged a huge bullet. It would have been horrible for your family to find out what a piece of shit you are."

"I still don't know how you found out about it but if you hadn't ..."

"Tisk tisk, now we both know that's not the first escort you made disappear. So if I were you I would use my brain and maybe shut up before you say something you'll regret. I mean what would be the point of you trying extra hard to change how your family sees you if I just showed them who you really are."

"What do you want?" Enji was furious but knew he had no choice but to do what Keigo wanted.

"Give up on Dabi, let him live his life without you. I know you're looking for some sort of redemption to prove that you weren't a horrible father but you were and that's why he's gone. So let him go."

"But that woman .. "

"Leave it alone or better yet if you do want to earn some brownie points then apologize and make a memorial to her husband and daughter. That would help you for starters. Isn't that what all the rich people do, fake an apology and throw money at it until people forget and then off they go to go do some more evil until they're caught again."

"What if I expose you?"

Keigo laughed, "You have WAY more to lose than I do. Besides I'm not really a bad guy, think of me more of an antihero. I see a bad guy and instead of turning them in I give them an opportunity to change. While getting something I want in return of course."

"You are going to cross the wrong person one day."

"Oh I'm sure of it but not today and not you. The risks I take are calculated but then again I'm bad at math. It always works out for me in the end. I'll be in touch." Keigo walked out waving like they were old friends.

Enji sat there thinking about how he was trying to move forward and be better but his past was always going to haunt him. He couldn't run from his past and maybe it was time to face it.

V sat in her car unsure if she should see Shigaraki or just leave. Mr. Compress had helped keep her away from everyone. She passed a message to Nikki telling her she needed time to think about everything. Of course Nikki understood, she was the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

V had wanted to call Dabi so many times but what would she say to him? Would he even want to talk to her? Compress explained that Kai had set them up, he found out V was coming and drugged Dabi and sent that woman to his room. V couldn't be mad at her, everyone thought Dabi was single and to that woman Dabi wanted company.
