"You're gonna be late!" Mic called out as he tried to wake me up.

I hissed and jumped away, running off to hide behind Dorothy. She got the message and got up. Mic stayed away knowing Dorothy didn't hesitate to use her claws.
Flopping down on my side, I closed my eyes again. This cat was taking a nap! And nobody was gonna stop me.

"Fine then, but if you don't show up in English class I'll fail you!"

I stayed like a cat for a while, just hanging around in the empty apartment.

And then the idea struck. I could take the day off. Heroes needed breaks too! A lame excuse, I know...

In my room I chose an outfit. Just a hoodie... of course. They were just so comfy.

I walked outside and walked around. For a while I did so until I stopped hesitating and went to the familiar place I knew.

"Hey," I said when I walked in.

Shigaraki looked up from some papers.

"Not a cat today?"

I shrugged, looking around. "Where's Kurogiri?"

"You need him?"

"No," I rolled my eyes, "Just wondering."

I found the tv and sat down in front of it. I clicked through it before closing it off.
Everything was boring!

"Can I ask you something," Shigaraki finally said.

"What?"

"Can a bad guy be evil?"

I looked up.
Was he trying to ask...

I had no idea.

I had no idea what he was trying to ask.

"Yesn't. What?"

"Nevermind." Shigaraki turned back to his papers.

"No, I wanna know," I got up from the floor, where I was in front of the tv, and walked over to the bar, "What's on your mind?"

Shigaraki sighed. "USJ was kinda lame."

"It was." I agreed bluntly. Shigaraki gave me a look, but I shrugged.

"Master says it's only one step towards my goal."

"Which is?"

"To kill Allmight!"

"Sure, sure," I shook my head, "So he's probably right then. One step towards your amazing goal. How nice."

Shigaraki looked at me as though I was trying to say something.
"I don't understand you."

"That's because you don't understand yourself. It's simple math really."

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

"The sky is blue, right?" I pointed up.

"Yeah...?" Shigaraki rubbed his eye with the palm of his hand, "I'm in no mood for this crap."

"You don't need to see the sky to know it's blue." I smiled. "Maybe look just to be sure."

Shigaraki got up.
"Fuck you." He left to go upstairs and left me alone.

I looked at the papers in curiosity.
They were new plans. A ton of ideas written by hand. Was Shigaraki brainstorming? Whoa, most of the ideas sucked. Guess that's part of brainstorming...
Some ideas were good. Scary. Dangerous.

"Fuck you!" Shigaraki shouted as he walked back in.

"What?" I looked up with a glare.

"It's cloudy today!"
