This' Where My Demons Hide (Villain AU)

Chapter 36 - Beach?

"First, a visit and now a beach getaway? Are you kidding me?" Shigaraki asked, scratching his neck much to Nekta's irritation.

"Oh come on, hand-jerk! Just for today! Kurogiri could get us on a isolated island and just chillax the day in the sand!" Todoroki said as Midoriya and Toga back him up.

"The warm rays of the sun on your skin~"

"Splashing around seawater~"

"And picnics on the sand!" The three psychos said, excitedly.

"It's the middle of the winter season. Try finding a beach--"

"Let's go to a tropical island! There's no winter there!" Midoriya cut Dabi off and the older man doesn't look amused. Nodding, Toga agreed and fantasized of the beaches.

"Come on, Shigaraki. It's just for a day," Todoroki said as the trio made puppy dog eyes to plead with their leader. Of course, he was not fazed by their antics.

Soon, finally giving up on their pleas, the three sulk in the living room as the rest of the league pay them no attention.

"Idiots," Bakugo muttered and Midoriya glared at him.

"Keep your business to yourself, hedgehog!" He screamed and Eri jumped down from her stool and turned to Shigaraki with her big doe eyes.

"What's a beach, Tomura-san?" She asked and the teal haired man looked at the young girl. She looks so innocent yet she looks at him with it with such pureness.

"A female d--"

"Watch you mouth in front of the kid, Aniki!" Nekta scolded, throwing a couch pillow at his face. Still glaring at her older brother, she gently pick up Eri and turned to her, "You don't know what a beach is?"

"No?"

At that moment, everyone on the room looked at her. Dabi, Spinner, Toga, Twice, Mr Compress, Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, Urararaka, Shigaraki and Kurogiri all turned to her with bewildered looks on their faces. She is...about eight or seven and she don't know what a beach is.

"You've never been on a beach before? Oh! How tragic!" Twice said, posing exaggeratedly.

"Eri-chan?" The said girl turned to the voice and Uraraka looked at her with a gentle smile. She patted her head and explained what a beach is, "It's a place where sand and seawater meets. It's very warm there and you can cool yourself down while swimming in the water. It's a very fun place, Eri-chan."

The little girl looked fascinated by the idea of the beach as her eyes widened and smiled. She turned to Nekta who gave a a surprised smile and then to Shigaraki.

"Tomura-san! Can we go to the beach?" She asked and the leader of the League of Villains was caught off guard. He's not someone to get swayed easily, but for some reason, some kid can actually punch him in the heart with innocent little feels.

It's kinda like a little nostalgia back when Nekta was just a kid, but Shigaraki won't say that out loud. A villain with a soft spot for kids? That'll ruin his messed-up reputation.

"I say, that's a good idea," Nekta said, subconsciously saving Shigaraki. Then, the three psychos all shot up from their seats.

"Nekta-senpai~!"

"We have nothing better to do lately anyway. The production of Nomu has no problem. The heroes aren't a priority problem yet and even we can have a day off from the dark," she said and smiled at Uraraka and Eri, "also, why not show Eri-chan the beach for the first time? I'm sure keeping Ochako locked up here is no fun at all."
