Operon (Tomura Shigaraki x Reader)

Chapter 1

The sky was dark with clouds and the brightly lit moon could be seen waning in the night. It had begun to rain, or should you say downpour. "Just my luck I suppose..." You mumbled as you pulled your (f/c) hood up, while zipping up your sweater.

It had only just started, but the ground was already covered in puddles. You could see and hear the rain, as the droplets fell in them making tiny dents. Your (h/c) hair was already drenched of course. Could you ever call yourself a hero if you couldn't even save yourself from a little weather?

You jumped a little when you heard a person's footsteps approaching from behind you. You glanced back, but nothing was clear in the dimly lit roadway. Though you could see someone, shadowed, approaching you.

Your heart began to race, you could feel such trepidation. Ever since the news reported the recent meeting that took place between the Shie Hassaikai and the League of Villains, the city hadn't felt very safe - neither did UA, though no one ever really seemed worried about those of us who weren't in class 1-A. Just sub-par heroes you supposed, it wasn't like a villain would target a girl like yourself. "I'm probably cowering in fear from a pizza delivery person." You whispered under your breath.

The footsteps continued to approach as you swallowed your fear. The rain had gotten even thicker, so you could hardly see what was around you at this point, let alone who had been approaching you. You could feel a few fingers of someone's hand rest lightly on your shoulder and you stopped cold. "Who's there?"

You could feel breath on the back of your neck as he responded in a raspy voice, "You can't tell. Interesting, I have been told that I'm quite well known these days, thanks to the media..."

You couldn't deny it, you'd heard that voice before. Turning around you faced the man who'd approached you, the one who could kill you if he moved two more fingers of his hand onto your shoulder. He had a smirk on his face, but no hand covering it, just a black hood and his light blue hair falling over his piercing red eyes. You bit your lip, "You-you're Tomura Shigaraki."

"Am I? How interesting." He responded, his fingers hadn't moved from your shoulder. "I figured a hero like you would be more afraid of a villain like me." You were wearing your UA uniform under your (f/c) sweater, shit.

"I-I'm terrified." You managed to utter, amazed you could say anything.

He edged closer, moving his hand from your shoulder to your neck. Slowly tracing your jugular with two fingers before moving to your collarbone. "For someone who is terrified, you don't seem to want to get away from me." He paused, squinting the wrinkled skin around his eyes at you and cocking his head to the right. "Is that right, oh I see, you're enjoying this - aren't you?" He inquired, as his grin widened.

The downpour of rain had drenched both of us and his black casual attire now clenched his thin body. You weren't sure how to feel, on one hand with a single move his decay would end your life, but you also hadn't expected him to look so attractive in the moonlight. You shouldered your fear and moved your hand onto his wrist- he appeared startled. "Do-do you really think it's that odd, that I can-can be both scared and exhilarated?" You questioned while trying to keep your voice steady.

He grunted before beginning to speak, still looking at you quizzically, "I suppose not, though I can't see what you find so interesting." You could tell that he was genuinely confused at your reaction. "Aren't you worried that I'm going to kill you - I do hate all heroes after all and I am a villain..."

Attempting to swallow your fear, you look into his red eyes and push the drenched light blue hair to the side of his face, "I am afraid of you, but the world isn't black and white. I'm not a hero yet and I may never be one - certainly not if you do choose to kill me." I paused, noticing that he'd begun to scratch his neck. You could tell even though he was strong with such a powerful quirk, he was still quite nervous. You figured he wasn't expecting his victim to be so compliant...
