Little Stars

Chapter 34

Hello, everyone! The new chapter is finally out and I hope you will enjoy it.

Quick recap to what happened in the previous chapter:

Aizawa and Touya went to meet the league and Shigaraki agreed to help them to find Doctor Ujiko.

************

From the moment he woke up, Keigo couldn't shake the uneasy sensation that crept into his heart. He felt as though he was doing something he shouldn't be doing. Even Touya's soothing words failed to calm his nerves.

His mind was torn apart by thoughts that dug hideous hooks into it. Thoughts about everything going wrong and how he shouldn't reveal everything the commission had done (or was still doing) because Keigo was always a soldier who only obeyed orders no matter how gruesome they were, and Mr. Asahi's words would always follow him to not reveal what was happening behind closed doors.

Keigo decided to observe the students bickering with Touya over breakfast rather than eating since he didn't feel like it. He never imagined Touya would be so comfortable around other people; he assumed the former villain would be lost forever in his goal and never let anyone near him. Who would have guessed that the villains' league would switch sides and aid the heroes?

Not all villains are hopeless and lost, as you claimed, Mr. Asahi. — Keigo pondered, recalling what his handler had said. He consistently said that since they were undeserving of mercy, they must be executed without hesitation. Keigo occasionally questioned these claims while spying on the league because they appeared to be a family that had no other option than to be villainous. Of course, what he saw does not excuse them from being punished for their crimes; they must be punished. Even some of the teachers had argued in favour of keeping Touya under constant guard and wearing a quirk suppressing bracelet on him because he posed a threat to the students even when he was restricted from moving around. (it was such a hypocritical thing in Keigo's opinion. The other league members were free and some of them did things worse than what Touya did, but he didn't say anything.) 

So, it wasn't a surprise to see Midnight in the dorm building to watch Touya.  

As soon as Midnight entered, Touya made a dramatic gesture by placing his hand over his heart as if she had hurt him, but Keigo knew he didn't care about her presence. "You wound me, Madame Nemuri," Touya pouted.

And he calls me a drama queen, – Keigo rolled his eyes. Touya, of course, saw the action and narrowed his eyes on Keigo.

"Just Nemuri, Touya." The hero stated for the zillionth time as she sighed. - She sincerely missed little naive Touya, who always listened to her.

Keigo could see the other students waiting for what was going to happen while watching the former villain and their teacher, yet none of them said anything.

"We won't be harmed by Touya-Nii," Shoto insisted, feeling obligated to stand up for his brother if anyone showed any form of suspicion. The student appeared to be presenting a fact while looking at Midnight with a blank expression that did nothing to hide the coldness in his eyes.

"Thank you, baby hero bro –" Touya reached out to offer Shoto a high-five, but —

"Don't call me that, bitch." 

Midnight looked at Shoto with wide, unbelieving eyes  hearing the last line, but the other students had heard it before so it wasn't a shock for them. Shoto had already been corrupted by Touya. Nothing new.

A gasp came out of Touya. "Shoto!" He exclaimed. He appeared astonished, but everyone could see that his demeanour was mocking. "How dare you? I didn't raise you like that. I am your older brother!"
