Click. Click. Click. Click.
Knock Knock Knock
"You should come out and eat, Tomura. It's already 6 o'clock and you haven't eaten anything."
Click. Click. Click. Click.
The mist man enters the room without any warning.
The room was dark. It always was. The only light was the light coming from the TV.
And right on a bed with a blanket on top of him, was none other than Tomura Shigaraki, staring blankly at the TV.
"Tomura, for your health's sake you should eat. You haven't eaten since yesterday."
Click. Click. Click.
The man sighed. He always had to struggle to get Tomura to get off his games.
Once Tomura started playing a game, there was no way of snapping him out of it. Kurogiri could just warp the console elsewhere, but that would be death wish.
"It is very important for you to eat, Tomura. You can't inherit AFO if you have bad health. Your surgery—"
[GAME OVER]
The young man groaned and threw the controller aside before he could decay it.
"Couldn't you wait until I was done, Kurogiri? I'm going out later by the way. I might just eat while I'm out."
"And where are you heading off to?"
"That is...none of your business."
Kurogiri sighed, "Well just make sure you are safe, Tomura."
"Yeah, yeah. Imma go tell the others about that right now. You can leave now."
"As you wish."
And Kurogiri complied and left his room.
...
"Alright, I'm heading out later so don't cause so much trouble. "
"And where are you going without any of our assistance?" Mr. Compress asked.
"I'm going somewhere that I won't need assistance. And if things do get crazy, I'm sure I can deal with it. That's all I had to say." He began to head back to his room.
"Yo boss! I'm going out later too!" Twice yelled.
"Is it anywhere suspicious?"
"Nope! Yes!"
He sighed, "Just be careful."
"Alright, boss!"
He then walked in the his room and shut the door.
His TV still read Game Over and the controller remained on the floor, forgotten.
He lied on his bed, thinking about his conversation he had with the doctor on the phone yesterday.
"Do you remember, Tenko Shimura?"
It started a couple of weeks ago.
The week when Sensei died.
He didn't sleep at all for that whole week.
Everything Sensei did, he had to do. All of Sensei's responsibilities were now his.
He mourns Sensei. He blames himself for his death.
If I was there, he would still be alive.
If I helped him, he still would be alive.
If I wasn't such a useless successor, he would still be alive.
After not sleeping properly for two weeks (three weeks, four weeks, who knows?), he began to hear little muffled whispers.
He ignored them. He didn't think much of it.
But then they began to get louder and they started to sound clearer.
The voices began to sound familiar for some reason. As if those voices were from people he knew and he recognized them.
Then just yesterday, he had a dream with people he didn't know...yet he did know?
He doesn't know how, but he knows the people's voices, their faces, their names.
They are all so familiar.
It all feels like he's watching a strangers life.
But in the back of his mind he knows that he is watching his own life.
He doesn't want to believe it though. Of course he doesn't.
Who would want to believe any of that shit anyway?
8:14 PM
Bzzz. Bzzz. Bzzz.
He wakes up, again to his phone, but this time he has his phone set on vibrate.
He looks at the caller ID; Toga
"What—"
"TOMURAAA! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Oh...that's right...Toga's little party thing is today...
"I forgot about your dumb party. I'll be there in a bit."
"HURRY! YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK DUMB!"
Beep.
Not listening to what Toga just told him, he takes his time to get up and get dressed. He doesn't see the point of rushing there.
"Kurogiri, I need you to warp me to that grocery store that you always warp me to."
In a matter of seconds, a warp gate was opens.
"Be careful out there, Tomura. You never know who might recognize you."
He ignores Kurogiri, because he already knows to be careful and the mist man always tells him the same thing every time he goes out by himself.
He steps in and appears in an alleyway near the grocery store. From there, he walks his way to Toga's place.
