TW ⚠️: suicidal thoughts.

***********
It was a miracle that Touya was sitting with them. After his breakdown the day before, Toga and Twice had dragged him to what they called a living room to spend time with them, even though Touya didn't want to, he was scared to be with these villains in the same room without his quirk, but surprisingly no one talked to him after Touya refused to answer their questions except Toga and Twice of course.

"Can I call you Touya-chan? Dabi would never let me call him that." Toga giggled as if she was saying a joke and Touya gave her a blank stare. He didn't want to be here with the villains! Why did DadZawa take only Keigo and leave him alone? Did he not want Touya anymore like his father? The thought was like a stab to his heart because Touya had begun to see Aizawa as a father figure instead of Endeavor. Aizawa promised that he will always be with Touya, so why did he leave him alone?  He was glad that Keigo got rescued, but he didn't want to be alone.

Touya tried to block these thoughts because he knew if they kept coming to his mind, he would lose himself and there would be no Touya. Did Shoto and Keigo not want him too? 

So, Yesterday Touya tried to focus on what the villains were doing to see if he could escape or not. To his surprise, the villains weren't doing any villainy thing, it was a shock to him because he thought villains spend their time killing and planning murders. But Shigaraki and Spinner were playing video games that Touya saw Kirishima and Kaminari playing, Toga and Twice were watching videos on Youtube and sometimes they show Touya what they were watching – they let him see a 5 minutes video of  cats doing funny things because apparently, they knew he liked cats

"Don't tell that to older Dabi, but I saw him feeding cats in an alley." Toga whispered to him.

"Such a kind-hearted guy." Twice said. "He is a fucking asshole."

Both of them were speaking as if he and Dabi were not the same person and obviously they were the same person – he was Dabi; a villain.

Maybe that's why Aizawa left him alone? — Touya thought. Always unloved and unwanted. But still, Touya wanted to return back to U.A. because maybe, just maybe he wasn't abandoned and Aizawa really searched for him, but the villains found him first.

The villains around him were weird, not like the villains who kidnapped him and Keigo. They didn't do anything to him except be kind to him. Aren't all the villains bad and evil? So, why were they different? Playing video games and including him in conversations even Mr. Compress showed him some of his tricks and Kurogiri offered him food (which Touya didn't touch at first because he suspected it was poisoned, but then Mr. Compress tasted it to show him it wasn't.) 

He was still wary of them, especially Kurogiri, because he remembered the mist man that was always in the tank in the same room the doctor kept him in. He thought that they would let the doctor have him, but no one till this moment opposed Shigaraki's decision. 

The day followed the day of his second kidnapping, (was it kidnapping if Touya was their friend as they were saying? But he was taken against his will, so he will call it his second kidnapping.) Toga dragged him from his supposed room and he didn't have anything to do except follow her. He was surprised to see the villains were sitting around the table with breakfast in front of them. He sat hesitantly, also not knowing what else to do, when all of the villains looked at him. And then a plate of cooked eggs was placed in front of him. It was so weird and domestic like they do this every day, like it was normal. 

Touya learned that Shigaraki is the leader and their group is called the league of villains which was lame in Touya's opinion but he didn't say anything, he only kept staring at Toga blankly as she introduced the league members again to him and began talking about everything they could do together; watching movies, painting nails, putting make-up or terrorizing people – Mr. Compress told her that they can't do the last thing at the moment when he saw Touya's horrified face and the look of fear on his face.
