Homra's Queen | Mikoto Suoh x Reader

5.Powers

You had been on cloud nine ever since you joined the red clan officially. It felt like a lot more of Homra had opened up in front of your eyes. What Homra really was, what Homra really did, what Homra was all about. You knew you were a newbie so you were still behind a lot of things but You felt yourself become a part of the bond that is thicker than blood. You didn't need to consider yourself inferior to them as you had the red aura also. The red wasn't scary anymore, instead it had gotten more magnificent. You would always ogle at your insignia whenever you were alone in your room. It was truly beautiful. The other thing that was beautiful also was the red aura that appeared around you when you wanted it to. But that was also the problem, you could only possess the red aura. You had seen Misaki and the others have these really cool powers, fire and all. Now, you weren't being greedy for power but you were curious as to what kind of trick you could do.

That was exactly what you were thinking while you found yourself yet again sitting on the barstool inside Homra in front of Izumo. He was polishing a wine glass, a thing that he is seen doing almost everyday. Somewhere along the way you had thought it was his hobby or something. Which you could consider weird. But you didn't really have any say in it as you were pretty weird yourself, not to mention that you also had joined a group of idiots.

You sat and watched as Totsuka told Anna a fairytale story using his flame manipulation as a hologram. You had been watching them for a while now but you didn't seem to get tired. You watched with mesmerized (E/C) eyes as a butterfly fluttered above Totsuka's palm. Misaki, Rikio and Shohei had also joined in with Anna to watch Totsuka's little show. You couldn't really hear what story it was as you were sitting far away from them but you knew it had something to do with butterflies and you had your fair share of bedtime stories when you were a little girl. You weren't the jealous type, in fact you truly admired things a lot, especially the people who were talented. And you truly did admire everyone in Homra. You continued to watch Totsuka with a smile on your face.

You were so engrossed in the story that you didn't notice when somebody had walked up to you and stood beside you. But after some time you felt a presence and turned your head to the side, only for your heart to skip a beat when you suddenly saw Mikoto. He was standing beside you while leaning back on the bar, his elbows supporting his weight. You didn't know why but you got this weird feeling whenever you saw or were near Mikoto but you shrugged it off, thinking it was just nervousness. But besides that, you had no problem being around the red haired man. Though you could not explain the sudden pinkening of your cheeks.

You let your eyes linger on the king, (E/C) orbs traveling over his facial features before landing on his cigarette occupied lips. You then again looked up into his eyes and followed his gaze to see he too was watching Totsuka and Anna. You smiled softly and decided to make small talk.

"Ne king, aren't Totsuka-San's powers cool?" You asked, speaking the first think that came to your kind. You glanced at the  man who was mentioned before looking back at the king, a cute smile on your face. Mikoto turned to look at you, a calm look on his face before his slender fingers took the burning stick out of his mouth, releasing the smoke out of his system, he spoke "Hmm, guess you could say that. But it's not what you would exactly call strong." Mikoto said, a somewhat faraway look in his eyes.
Hearing that, you looked down at your hands that rested on your lap. You had heard that Totsuka was the weakest member in Homra. But you didn't quite understand that. Yes, you saw the difference between his powers and the others' but you didn't see his powers in an inferior light.

"Well, he's powers are somewhat weak." Izumo said from behind you which made you turn your chair around to face him. Both of they're eyes were upon the said man but when you started speaking, they averted them towards you.
