Unworthy Hero, Worthy Villain || Villain! Deku AU

Welcome to the League, Kid

The bell rang out loudly throughout the immense school, signalling that it was now lunch period.

“Alright, class, make sure you study for your upcoming test! Have a good rest of your day!” Pro hero, Ectoplasm, called to the class with his deep, static-like voice. The students didn't seem to listen, as they were all excited to get out of class and get something to eat for the day. The chatter was loud, the hallways cramped with students going to and fro, trying to get to their next destination. The all too familiar messy, green haired boy was too walking through the crowded halls. His head was lowered, his emerald hued eyes trained on the floor. He was lost in his own subconscious, his pale hands gripping onto the straps of his yellow backpack. His movements were quick, though, giving off the notion that he was trying to get somewhere quickly. Of course, the boy was trying to get somewhere in fast manner! He was trying to get to the Janitor's supply closet, as that's where he had stored his belongings for the time being. ‘Everything has been going according to plan. Aizawa-sensei should be at his meeting now. I just need to get my things from the closet, then I can get out of this hellhole..’ Izuku thought to himself, his teeth gritting softly. His conversation with Shinsou from an hour or so ago came back to him; that look of pure disbelief in the boy's lavender hued eyes only made Izuku chuckle to himself. How naive of Shinsou to assume that he wouldn't join the League of Villains! He knew Shigaraki would accept him, he knew this for a fact.

“Take this, kid. I can see it in your eyes..” Shigaraki's deep, gravely-like voice snickered softly as he placed a torn and crumpled piece of paper into Izuku's trembling hands. The man's arm was linked around the shorter boy's shoulders, so that he was forced to stand close to the hooded villain. “Heroes are letting you down again and again, huh? Well, when you're done with their bullshit, follow the address.. We'll be waiting~” The man cooed as he laughed, his distorted and deranged grin spreading across his ghastly features. All Izuku could do in that very moment was stare at the man in confusion and complete terror.

Though, now he knew what he had meant the day he had been confronted at the mall.

“Midoriya, wait!” A voice called from behind the freckled boy, causing him to snap out of his cluttered thoughts. He lifted his head and looked over his shoulder, surprised to see none other than Todoroki jogging up towards him to catch up. The halls weren't nearly as crowded anymore, so it didn't take very long for the bi-colored haired male to catch up. Izuku was slightly alarmed to see Shouto walking alongside him now, his eyes widening slightly.

“I need to get rid of Todoroki-kun.. and fast!” Izuku thought as he narrowed his eyes softly, his hands slowly curling into fists. Though, his dangerous expression only seemed to last for a moment before changing into his usual, friendly one. “Hey, Todoroki-kun! What's up?” He asked him as he tilted his head softly to the side, causing a few of his green locks to fall into his face.

“Nothing much, actually. I wanted to ask and see if you'd, uhm.. Like to join me during lunch?” Todoroki's voice seemed to quiet towards the end, and a small blush had begun to form along his cheeks. He was hoping that Midoriya would join him, as he wanted to catch up with his friend and hangout with him. Well, more like he just wanted to be able to spend more time with the shorter boy, who he had grown strong feelings for over the time he had known him for. Todoroki had never had enough courage to confess his true feelings to Izuku, too scared of rejection and the possibility of the other not feeling the same.

“I'm sorry, Todoroki-kun, but I can't!” Came the dreaded reply from Midoriya, causing Todoroki's heart to sting.

“Ah, I see. That's.. fine! May I ask what for?” Todoroki asked as he tried to swallow his disappointment, a small smile on his lips as he looked down at Izuku. Izuku had to think of a lie, and fast! Something believable, something clever.
