Part 6 ~ A Love To An Addiction

Criminal Todoroki}

I arm was wrapped around her waist, my cheek in her stomach while her hand lay in my hair. She's so soft and warm. Every night only gets better with her, she's always got a trick or two up her sleeve.

Momo Yaoyorozu. Your the most incredible woman I have ever met. I just wish I could tell you how special you are to me.

I slided up to her face. Her long black hair lay messily across the white sheets. An angel on earth.

I got up out of bed and got changed again. I looked in the mirror to tidy myself up, but realised... my red and white hair was growing back...

My father always made me dye my hair black and white, hiding my natural red and white hair. Since I wasn't an office member of the police department, having my hair like this was an eye sore for people on the streets. But now that my true colours were coming back... there was something about it that made me feel more comfortable and more... me.

I walked downstairs to see Iida once again working on something. He was messing around with something on his pants.

"Morning Iida, wh-" I paused, he had engines in his calf muscles. An engine quirk... he quickly rolled his pants back down, looking quite ashamed of me finding out about his quirk.

He looked down, "Erm... Shouto..." I sat down on the seat in front of him. His quirk seemed pretty cool... he must be fast. Why are quirks so shameful to have? They are awesome. Kirishima took a seat out from beside us, he seemed to never care about if he used his quirk or not, in fact he seemed proud of it.

"Tenya," Kirishima started, "I don't fit in with the law because the law doesn't fit in with me. Quirks are are part of us, and here the police are tryna take it away?! Our quirks are incredible! Momo's for one is the most amazing quirk I've seen in my life! Especially in action! It's a part of us! We shouldn't have to be told to hide it!" Kirishima roared, now standing up on the table, no wonder he's the leader of The Rolling Reds... he's a great leader with an eye for human rights.

"I heard my name?" A voice said, I turned to the stairway. Momo walked down, looking like the goddess she was. A short red cocktail dress and a pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings. Red and white... I thought back to my hair.

Kirishima grinned, "Just talking about your body as usual," He lied, once again deserving a smack.

"But Kirishima you were talking about Momos qu-"

"Momos Queen like body? Yeah I know," He said giving me the death stare. What was the big deal? Why was he hiding it?

Momo sat down next to me with a cup of tea, Jiro came around soon aswell, still not looking to happy, "His funereal is in two days... I don't know how I'm gonna deal," She said. A voice echoed through my mind "two silvers to the back one to the head" Kaminari.

Just when I though I was doing better... my best mates death came back to haunt me, "He was my best mate... I was there when it happened..."

"Shouto..." Momo put her hand on mine.

I sighed, "I don't really want to focus on the bad stuff," I said honestly.

Kirishima smiled genuinely.
"Well we got your interview in an hour or so, so be happy!" He laughed, Jiro gritted her teeth together.

"Sorry to come back to this, but... they never found his body,"

I looked at her in shock. But? How? The cops arrived around ten minutes after the shots?! Did they do something with his body?

"I saw the cops come when I left... it's impossible,"

"Not really," Kirishima added, "I've known the dark side of those demons we call savours since I was a young boy. They want something with you, Todoroki. And they won't stop trying to trip you up until your last string is cut".

His words were like razors,
It all makes sense. Who else could have controlled the media enough to say those things about me other then the police department. They were setting me up. But why?
I explained that to the group, making Momo even more caring and Kirishima even more... Kirishima.

"Well, it's half past. Time to pull out the cards and dice, Todoroki" Iida said. He looked like he was in pain, was it because I saw his engines?

Kirishima and Jiro leant us some bikes to get to UA on, which meant I had to ride Black Beauty. The only motorcycle Kiri had left, also knowen as the wild horse, a black Harley-Davidson, extremely dangerous to ride due to the suspension on it.

I put my helmet on and Momo jumped behind me. We took off onto the streets. The engine roared beneath me, making all sorts of people turn to the noise without even seeing where it came from. I loved this, this was my first time on an actual motorcycle, I only ever read how to ride them in books my father gave me... but now my dream was a reality.

I followed Kirishima down the streets, he took a surprisingly sharp turn. I opened my eyes widely, damn Kirishima! The tires beneath me squealed loudly making black skid marks on the road.

I lifted the glass windshield on my helmet up, the wind flicked my hair back and flew like a bullet over my skin. I felt free.

We soon pulled up outside one of the tallest buildings in the city. The UA Casino.

I took off my helmet and walked over to Iida and Kyoka with Kirishima and Momo. Kirishima looked at me surprised, "H-How? How did you ride the Black Beauty? I can't even ride it! I expected you would fall off!" He shouted.

I turned to him jokingly, "It was easy to ride, but you expected I would fall off...?" I laughed.

"It would be pretty entertaining!" He burst into tears, but stood straight when Momo turned his way.

Tenya and Jiro still looked down on the dumps. Maybe we should get into the the casino already, "I've never gambled, by the way," I commented. They froze up.

Kirishima slightly laughed, "Wha.. What?" His knees went limp.

"I've never gambled. So I'm not sure why you thought getting a job here would be good for me," I said once again, honestly.

"Are you good at maths? At least?"

"Yes,"

"Good enough!" He laughed looking hopeful but worried.

We stood in a line, looking up at the enormous Casino in front of us. It's lights beamed down on our faces. This is were it all began, a fight for money, a rage against cards, a smile to a smirk and a love to an addiction, just in the single step through those giant doors and my life would be changed.
