Sero's sister

Chapter 34: Confessions Under the Stars

After the confrontation with Bakugou, Y/N felt more resolved to understand her emotions and help others navigate their struggles. She knew she would return to the League of Villains, not just to face them, but to learn more about their perspectives. Tonight was the perfect night for another visit.

As the moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the city, Y/N slipped out of her dorm. She had learned the hard way that sometimes, you had to step outside of your comfort zone to understand the bigger picture. It was a risk, but she felt more prepared this time.

Arriving at the designated meeting spot, a secluded area near the outskirts of the city, Y/N was greeted by the familiar figures of the League. The atmosphere was tense but welcoming, a strange mix of danger and camaraderie.

"Look who finally decided to show up," Toga chirped, her voice filled with excitement as she skipped over to Y/N. "I was starting to think you didn't like us anymore!"

"Of course not," Y/N replied with a soft smile. "I just had some... things to deal with."

"Come on, let's have some fun!" Toga grabbed Y/N's hand, pulling her deeper into the shadows where the others were gathered.

The group sat in a circle, the mood surprisingly light. Dabi leaned against a tree, arms crossed, while Twice bounced in place, visibly excited. Kurogiri served drinks from a small cooler, and Shigaraki lounged with a lazy smile, watching the interaction with interest.

"Glad to see you again, Y/N," Shigaraki said, his voice smooth but laced with mischief. "I hope you're ready for another chat."

"I am," Y/N replied, her heart racing. "But tonight, I'd like to talk about you all, too."

Dabi raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What do you want to know?"

"Anything," she replied earnestly. "I want to understand where you're all coming from."

As the conversation flowed, Y/N felt herself opening up, sharing her own experiences while encouraging the others to do the same. They talked about their struggles, the systems that failed them, and the pain they had endured. For a moment, they felt like a dysfunctional family united by their shared experiences.

As the night wore on, Y/N found herself sitting next to Shigaraki, who had a surprisingly introspective side to him. "You know," he began, "most people think we're just villains, but we have our reasons."

"I understand that now," Y/N replied. "Everyone has their own story."

His gaze flickered toward her, curiosity shining in his crimson eyes. "What's your story then, Y/N? You've got a dark past, don't you?"

Before Y/N could respond, Toga piped up, "Oh! Tell us about your crush! Is it Bakugou? He's such a hothead!"

Y/N felt her cheeks flush as the focus shifted to her. "Toga!" she exclaimed, half-laughing, half-embarrassed.

"What? I'm just saying what everyone's thinking!" Toga giggled, clearly enjoying herself.

Dabi smirked. "I mean, you did leave a bunch of lovey-dovey hints last time."

"Okay, okay! Enough about that," Y/N said, feeling flustered. "Let's focus on you all."

But Shigaraki's gaze remained fixed on her. "So, is it Bakugou?" he pressed, a teasing glint in his eye.

"I—uh," Y/N stammered, unsure how to answer. It wasn't just Bakugou, but she wasn't ready to talk about her feelings in front of them.

Suddenly, there was a rustle nearby, and a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Kurogiri, who stepped forward, his demeanor serious. "We have something important to discuss."
