Follow Me

18. Shoto, Incognito

"Did you consider my request master?" Tomura spoke to the screen. "About the girl?"

Tomura heard a calm sigh from the computer speaker.

"I am not going to indulge your every whim, Tomura Shigaraki." All for One spoke evenly like he was communicating with a small, disobedient child. "I've spoiled you enough as is. If this is only a passing desire, so you can play house and forget your goal then I might have to intervene."

Tomura drew a sharp breath.

"Of course master, it was foolish of me to ask for such a thing." he said respectfully.

"Remember what I told you. I did not send you after her because I wanted you to get distracted. She still may prove to be useful, but if you continue to behave this way... You know what will happen to her..."

He gritted his teeth angrily. Tomura knew what would happen. You would die... and it would most likely be by his hand. If he refused, someone else would be sent after you, and you would die all the same.

"What should I do with this brat?" Tomura hissed.

"Do what you will with him. I trust you won't disappoint me." With those words from his master the computer screen went completely dark.

"I thought you were the leader... turns out you're just some dumbass sidekick." The spikey haired blond sneered. Tomura turned to the explosive boy and smirked wickedly.

"They sure have some trashy clothes in this joint." You muttered to yourself. The need to get away from everything normal had led you to this particularly tacky shop in Kamino ward. Not many people were around at this time thankfully.

You checked your phone again, for the millionth time. Tomura had texted you four days before, saying he'd be busy. Which probably meant he was harassing more school age children or burning All Might posters. Whatever villains did. Dabi was unresponsive as well which meant that they were all in on something. Part of you wanted to know what it was. But you knew that Tomura had said it was too dangerous, you can't be involved or even know about it. As you shuffled through the atrocious but cheap clothes a voice you knew caught your attention.

"This is me. Incognito." The boy said in a monotone voice. You peaked over the rack of obnoxiously colored clothing to see a group of high school kids dressed very strangely. The boy that had spoken was wearing a black wig and a velvety vest. The wig covered the scar on his face but you still recognized him as Natsuo's brother, Shoto. He didn't seem to have noticed you spying on them yet. There were four other kids there, all conspicuously dressed. The green haired boy caught your attention, it was the same kid that Tomura was talking to the other week. You didn't know if he would recognize you or not, better not to take chances.

Tomura... Your thoughts wandered down a rabbit hole at the mere idea of him. Smiling as you shuffled through the racks of clothing, your mind focused on the cute mole on his chin. You had the sudden wish to kiss it. At the thought you squeaked and hid your face.

Your noise caught the attention of the half and half boy who was leaning up against a line of shelves near you. Shoto looked around in confusion and saw you hiding your face in an ugly blue sweater that you had picked up.

"Um, are you okay?" he asked confusedly. Your head shot up out of the sweater. "Oh... miss y/n, hello."

"I'm fine Shoto, hello." You stared at the ugly wig covering his cute half and half hair. "Why are you dressed like that?"

"Oh... this?." He ruffled the fake hair cutely. "It's a secret." He said, extremely seriously.

"Alright, I won't pry." You watched the other teenagers who were acting very conspicuously. "Just don't get in trouble okay, kid?"

"Yes, miss y/n." Everything he said was in a serious monotone voice.

"Just y/n is fine, no need to be formal with me." You smiled awkwardly. The wig he was wearing was bothering you. The urge to swipe it off of his head to see the red and white hair underneath was strong.

"Don't tell Natsuo I'm here..." Shoto said quietly. You narrowed your eyes at him. What in the world could these kids be up to?

"My lips are sealed." You nodded. "As long as you aren't trying to sneak into bars or anything."

"Oh no." Shoto seemed appalled at the very idea.  "Nothing like that."

"Todoroki, who are you talking to?" At the sound of the green haired boy's voice, you dodged behind the racks of clothes so as not to be seen. Shoto looked around uncomfortably, noticing you had disappeared.

"Midorya..." Shoto said in his signature monotone voice.

"Time to go, were you talking to someone?" Midorya asked curiously.

"Just... talking to myself." Shoto maintained a straight face and glanced at you. You were crouching down on the ground and gave him the thumbs up. He nodded slightly and followed his classmate.

You poked your head up as the odd group left the store. They all seemed to be acting strangely, except Shoto who was just his normal blank self. Before they left your line of sight you scurried through the door after them. Curiosity had overtaken you, you wanted to know what they were up to. As you followed, screens that covered the buildings broadcasted the news. Apparently some boy from UA had been kidnapped. You continued to follow the group of high schoolers through the crowded streets. It was not very difficult considering how strange they looked next to everyone else. UA... the same school that these kids went to. Were they friends with this kidnapped boy? You started getting a bad feeling about all this.

After pausing to watch the news broadcast on the kidnapped student, the group started going down back roads and alleyways. You kept far behind them but made sure you always had an eye on the suspicious group. Tomura would probably have a fit if he knew you were doing this, wandering around in the middle of the night, in a strange place no less. The group ahead of you stopped at an abandoned building. It didn't seem to be interesting in any aspect. But still, a chill went down your spine. You knew you had gotten yourself into something you should have.
