Footsteps of a Fallen Angel

Chapter 38. Loveless

A/N: Thanks for everyone's patience, I'm not sure when the next update (ch39 is half written so maybe next week) but I can't sure when exactly since I've been feeling really sick lately, it's been difficult for me to keep up. Thank you for reading and understanding 🥰 I hope everyone has a lovely week and remember to stay hydrated and sleep and eat well 💛

Behind every action I took, there was always a reason. My mind at the time had no idea but each action was all manipulated by him; I thought I had control over my thoughts and the situations in my life but in the end, I was a mere puppet.

No... I was almost like, one of his mindless Nomu.

I was, just another puzzle piece to his grand villainous plan. And even if I wanted out, the only way out would be by death. But death was farfetched; impossible to achieve. He wouldn't let me anywhere near death.

But once again, I had no idea this was happening. Not until it was too late. I had pushed all the people who cared about me and it was... his plan all along, to isolate and break me.

In the got what he wanted... I'm all alone. The only thing by my side is my hatred and All For One's... 'support'. Remember, this is the story of how I became the anti-symbol of peace; the symbol of fear.

Flashback to 4 Months Ago

(One Hour, Before Going To See Shigaraki)

For a split moment, I wondered if I wasn't just punishing myself by thinking I didn't deserve to be happy anymore. If Tomura really loved me... if Dabi loved me as well, maybe I didn't have to spend my life alone and miserable. 

Maybe I could live far from Japan and start a new life with one of them, or both or none. A life where All Might wouldn't affect me.

But alas, people who believe in a stretched-out truth is similar to believing in a sugarcoated lie. I learned that the most brutal way.

It was a few hours before my date with Tenko. I was actually excited and looking forward to it. I felt so giddy and wanted tonight to be perfect, I even asked Toga for some advice regarding my choice of clothes. She was definitely more than happy to help.

As I was finishing getting ready, I got a text from Tenko.

Tenko: [Random Address] suite room 206 7pm

[Y/N]: I'll be there. Can't wait :)

I wasn't sure why Tenko seemed so dry with his texting but I shrugged it off. He's probably busy planning out the date, I thought to myself. I was too consumed in my happy mood to care. 

But maybe I was just being oblivious; so much I didn't even notice where he wanted us to meet. If it hadn't been for Yusuke I wouldn't have known it was a hotel.

After I had gotten ready, Yusuke came in to join me who was also playing some random game on his phone. He seemed laid back, like he wasn't worried about anything in the world.

Yet, it changed the moment I showed him the address. "Do you know where it's at? The place doesn't seem familiar to me. Isn't kinda far from here too?"

Yusuke took a look on my phone and searched the address on his. He hummed a bit disturbed. "Now that's odd."

"What is?" I asked.

"That hotel is pretty high class." He rubbed his forefinger and thumb, "Pricey. Not only that but it is far from here. Why the hell did he even pick that place in the first place?"
