Touch |Shigaraki ff

CHapter 4

After what felt like an eternity in the chair, I finally heard footsteps approaching. The door creaked open, and Shigaraki and Kurogiri walked in. They both looked at me, but this time, there was something different in their eyes.

"Good to see you awake again, Sora," Shigaraki said with a smirk. "We've been thinking about your future."

"Yeah, right," I replied, trying to sound uninterested. "What do you want now?"

Kurogiri stepped forward, his mist swirling gently around him. "We want to offer you something more comfortable than this chair," he said, gesturing to the cuffs that held me in place. "You'll have your own room. It's a start."

"A room?" I raised an eyebrow. "What's the catch?"

"Simple," Shigaraki said, crossing his arms. "You'll still be chained, but at least it'll be a better place for you. No more being tied to a chair. You'll be on the wall in your own space, with a door that we can lock or unlock."

"So basically I'm a prisoner?"

"It's not like that, Sora," Kurogiri said calmly. "We're giving you a choice. You can stay here and be part of something greater. Think about it. You have potential. You could make a real difference."

"By joining you?" I scoffed. "You're villains. Why would I want to be a part of that?"

"Because, deep down, you know that the heroes are not perfect. They fail, just like everyone else," Shigaraki said, his voice low and serious. "Join us, and you can show the world what you're capable of."

"Just try as you want. I won't ever agree." I snarled at them, and I saw how Shigaraki's face darened again, and Kurigi looked kind of disappointing.

In the end, they brought me to a room, or, well, Kurigiri did. I think Shigaraki is already sick of me. Well, why should I care? The room was small, and there was only one bed. We entered the room, and Kurigiri put a longer chain on my cuffs so I was able to move in a maybe 5-meter radius. There was another door on the side, but besides that, nothing. Kurigi chained me to the wall next to the bed and I sat down. "The bathroom is over there; you'll have to use it with the door open with the chains; I'll get you for breakfast tomorrow then." He told me and shut the door. There was just a really small window, and it was high up on the wall; I couldn't tell where I was. I could only see the sky, and by that I figured it was probably in the middle of the night. My body also ached for the sleep, so I gave in and just laid on the bed, letting the sleep take over.

Next time I woke up, I heard the noise of the lock on my door. I quickly shot up and watched as the door opened and there stood Kurigiri. "Good morning, Sora. We'll eat now." He said and walked over to me. He removed the chain from my cuffs and guided me back to the bar area from yesterday. I just now noticed there was also a couch in the corner, and Kurigri guided me to sit on the chair next to Shigaraki. He then placed a plate with an egg and some toast in front of me.

I looked at me annoyed and then slammed my cuffed hands onto the table. "How am I supposed to eat, Genius?" I asked, but Kurigri didn't seem to mind my rude behavior. He then uncoffed me, and I started looking around for a good way I could maybe escape. "Don't even try." I then felt four fingers at my neck and my body stiffened. "If you dare try to escape, I will instantly kill you, got it?" Shigaraki asked, and I nodded with a gulp. I then started eating, and after I finished, I got placed on the couch behind us.

And there I was sitting, doing nothing. Wow. This was sure boring. Shigaraki soon left the room, leaving me alone with Kurigiri. Well, instead of doing nothing, I could just try to find out some stuff. "Kurigiri...why are you a villain?"

He paused for a moment, the mist swirling softly around him. "It's complicated, Sora," he replied, his voice calm. "The world has its flaws, and we want to change it. Villains are often seen as the bad guys, but we believe we're the ones who can bring about real change."

"Real change?" I scoffed. "By causing chaos and hurting people? That doesn't make sense."

Kurogiri's mist seemed to shift slightly, almost reflecting his mood. "It's not about hurting people; it's about breaking the system that holds everyone back. Heroes have their own agendas, too. They fail to see the bigger picture."

"Listen, I want to, but I don't really get this stuff. So, what do you mean? I want to understand." I then told him serious.

Kurogiri took a moment to collect his thoughts. "Heroes are often praised for their actions, but their decisions can have unintended consequences. They protect a system that isn't always just. Many people suffer because of their choices, but they don't see it. We believe that by shaking things up, we can reveal the truth."

I frowned, trying to process what he was saying. "So, you think being a villain is the way to fix everything?"

"It's more complicated than that," Kurogiri replied, his voice steady. "We want to challenge the status quo. We want to create a world where people aren't blindly following heroes without questioning their motives. You, of all people, should understand that. You've seen how heroes can fail."

I kept quiet. I from all people know how brutal a hero can be when he wants something, just thinking about my father and how often I saw him beating my brother to his almost death...

I kept quiet. I didn't say anything after that. I think Kurigiri noticed my change in mood; he then kept quiet.
