Nezu's challenge! (Villain Rehab)

13: Is this a Game to you?

"What is it with you guys and fainting?" Tsuki glanced from Arawaru to Gyro. They sat in the cafeteria, eating some food as they talked about random stuff.

"Trauma." They both answered at the same time.

Papillon laughed at them before she got up. "I'm going to ask wether we've got desert. I think I've deserved it after today."

"No kidding," Arawaru said, "I hate running."

"You're a villain," Gyro pointed out.

"Nah, I've retired," Arawaru said, "I only became one for my sister anyway."

"Oh?" Gyro asked excitedly, "You've got siblings? What's their names?"

"Just one," Arawaru said a bit quietly, "Maple."

"You're very fucking sad, huh." Tsuki put a hand in front of her bright eyes in the hopes of blocking out the depressing blues.

"...fuck off." Arawaru answered softly.

Gyro pulled Tsuki's hand away and gave Arawaru a smile.
"I might not know what it's like to miss people like that," Gyro said as he adjusted how he sat, "But I suppose it's not bad to be sad or something."

"What a speech," Papillon commented as she sat back down. "Lunch Rush tells us to stay here for a moment."

"Oh, we're getting desert?" Tsuki asked excitedly, using her chopsticks to drum on the table.

"Don't do that," Papillon grabbed the sticks from Tsuki and turned to the three, "We're getting an announcement, actually."

"Really?"

"Indeed!" Nezu jumped on the table behind them and the four villains jumped a bit. "As of tomorrow you will get quirk reducing bracelets!"

"What?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"I hate life."

"As much as I dislike this as well," Nezu said as he clasped his hands behind his back, "The hero commission requested this... in return of course, that you'll be able to wonder the UA grounds freely."

"What?"
"No way."
"That's actually kinda nice."
"I still hate life."

"Also," Nezu said, "You guys will see Hound Dog starting next week."

"Who's that?" Tsuki asked curiously.

Gyro sighed. "A fucking therapist..."

A thud was sound as Arawaru threw his face against the table.
"I. Fucking. Hate. Life."

Papillon kindly gave him a pat on his shoulder.

"Where do we go first?" Gyro asked as he and the other three walked outside.

"I'm off to the forest," Tsuki said, "Anyone up for a game of tag?"

"Tag? Really?" Papillon rolled her eyes. Arawaru gave her a nudge in the hopes she wouldn't be so rude.

"Actually, I know a better game," Gyro said with a smile, "Hide and seek."

"Hide and seek? How's that go?" Tsuki asked.

"Everyone hides and someone has to find them," Gyro said, "That's all."

"I'll be first," Arawaru volunteered and started counting, "Thirty..."

The other three ran up and down the grounds. Left and right, in and out...

Eventually Arawaru stopped counting. He smiled and put his hands in his pockets, and walked a random direction so he could explore without the others. His plan was perfect. No more noise!
