MR. REAPER [PART 64]

\\3rd POV \\

The brunette was groaning as he was waiting for the finals, "This be over quickly because I want to go home." Midoriya sighs as he watches the brunette next to him who was smoking the sweet scent for the millionth time that day. Todoroki couldn't help to be intrigued, asking while leaning closer to the brunette, "Why do you want to go home so quickly, Reaper?" 

He opens one of his golden blue eyes and glances at the young boy next to him, slowly he rises from his chair and grabs his blazer but not his tie as he responded, "The reason why I want to go home is that I want to sleep and I have my part-time job later tonight." This caught everyone's attention and started to eavesdrop on the conversation, Reaper puts on his blazer as he muttered, "Which reminds me to contact the owner quickly as possible..."

He walks into the hallway while taking out his mobile phone, he leans against the wall as the phone started ringing. After a while, a feminine voice answered, "Hello, this the owner of 'Secret Sage Bar', Nozomi Arashiro speaking. How can I be of service today?" He chuckles over the phone as he spoke, "Hi, Nozomi. I know you don't recognize me by my current voice but I'm Aya Kurosawa, I was caught in a villain incident and was hit by their Quirk which caused me to turn into a male."

There was silence on the other line but it was interrupted by a squeak of a voice, "Is... that so? Then, um, is there a reason why you're calling me?" Reaper answered with a smirk, "Yea, don't mention to the others that I'm Angel. Just tell them, I'm Ayato Tachibana, a stand-in for Aya Kurosawa who is currently on holiday overseas." Nozomi couldn't help but snicker as she considered the deal, "Alright. Are coming in tonight though?" 

Reaper chuckles as he runs his fingers through his locks, "That is the reason why I'm calling, Nozomi." The said female over the phone was quiet but he could hear her mumble, "...Touche." He ignored it as he continued, "What time should I come through? Since its, a weekday and the sports festival is currently happening, so of course, people will come."

Nozomi hums as she exclaims, "How about between 19:00 until 3:00? It's that fine?" Reaper tonight for a second, "I mean, I think I can last for about 8 hours. Unless I could work last longer than last time." Nozomi grumbled, "You can't do 14 hours of work, that's unacceptable." Reaper whined into the phone, "Come on, Nozomi! You weren't complaining last time when I came over. Why are you only complaining about it now?" 

Nozomi explained in a stern voice, "Because, that's too much for the human body. And that's final, goodbye." He pulled the phone away from his ear as soon as he heard the beep, he shoves the mobile phone into his pocket while grumbling, "I can last for 14 hours and more... I have a lot of stamina for my age..." Meanwhile, the students of Class A and B heard the phonecall and were blood-red since they misunderstood the situation.

Reaper shrugs his anger away and peeked around the corner, his voice ringed caught everyone off guard, "Well, I'm off again. See ya guys later or tomorrow!" He walks to away with a smile on his face down the hall but stopped when a voice called out to him, "Reaper! Can I have a moment of your time?" He looks over his shoulder was met with mismatched eyes that were staring up at him.

With a raised brow, Reaper asked, "Todoroki? Is something wrong?" The said teen shakes his head as he stood next to the tall brunette, "No, I wanted to walk with you since the waiting room is in the same direction." Reaper nods and motioned while speaking in his deep voice, "Alright then, off we go." They walk next to each other and a comfortable silence lingered over them but Todoroki couldn't help but glance multiple times at the male.

"Who were you talking to on the phone?" His voice caught the brunette off guard causing him to look at the pouting teen. Reaper sheepishly says with a shy smile, "I was talking to an old friend of mine." This caused Todoroki to pout even more and he looked away with an angry blush on his cheeks. They were in front of the 2nd waiting room and Reaper opened the door for the teen who just stood still.

Reaper curiously looks at him while bending to his eye level, "Todoroki? What's wrong-" Without any hesitation, Todoroki grabs Reaper's collar and tugged him closer to his face, mismatched eyes were met with wide golden blue ones. Todoroki tugged them both into the room, the door slowly closes behind them. Without any hesitation, Todoroki's lips connected with the brunette's. 

Too shocked to comprehend what happening, Reaper held the back of Todoroki's head as he pressed his lips against the teens. Reaper quickly shoves him against the door and slams his hand onto the wooden surface, Todoroki was panting as he stared into those dark eyes. Reaper licks his lips while tossing his blazer with one hand away, Todoroki felt his heart skip a beat at the sight.

Reaper leans closer to him as he was smirking with a devilish look on his face, Todoroki leaned back again the door. "You're playing a dangerous game, boy. I think what Recovery Girl told me when I was still bound to the bed was true," He was only an inch from his lips as he whispered the last few words, "You truly want to fuck with me." Todoroki felt his heartbeat in his ears and didn't notice that Reaper got off of him. 

Reaper went to retrieve his blazer and put it on again, he ruffled his hair while looking at the stunned Todoroki. He sighs and places his hand on his shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze as he softly pushed Todoroki off of the door and walked out of the room. The door closes behind him and Todoroki walks to the table as the silence in the room started to consume him. Meanwhile, Reaper summons his mask as he walks with a frown on his face as he stood next to Midnight.

[A/N: Random thing just happened to me when I was writing this scene, 'House of Cards' by BTS popped up from my playlist and I was like, "It seems the music gods want me to make this chapter dramatic and depressing yet beautiful." And my mother walked in when I said that.]

~*~

Midnight his disheveled form and raised a brow while touching his bicep slightly, "Is something wrong? You seem a bit dazed." Reaper glances at her out of the corner of his eye and she notices the color of his irises; Golden red. She gulps as he looks away from her and stated with an authoritative tone, "Nah, just pissed off at something, don't worry about it." Slowly, she takes her hand off of his bicep and looked away with a worried expression.

Reaper rolled his shoulders a few times as he waited for Present Mic to announce the fight, he felt his patience running low as time ticked by. He rolls up his left sleeve and looks at his watch, the small arms of the watch was ticking by, agitating him as he glared at the watch. He lets go of his sleeve and clenches his fist a few times, catching Midnight's attention in the corner of her eye.

He blocks out all the sound around him as he glared into space, clearly not knowing what got into him. He didn't notice how a few of the live cameras were on his tall figure, out of habit, he slid his hair back and fixed his appearance a bit. His fingers brushed against the dangling earrings as he continued to brush some strands away and after he seemed to be satisfied, he lets his arm fall to his side.

[MEANWHILE SOMEWHERE ELSE...]

Shigaraki stared at the screen when the unfamiliar yet familiar looking male popped up, he felt intrigued with the brunette male and leaned closer to the screen. His red eyes narrow themselves as he tried to remember from where he saw the male but couldn't remember of ever seeing him. He grumbles under his breath but suddenly froze when he realized something which caused his eyes to widen and his hands clenched unto the table.

"Where is Aya? Where is my mother?"

[BACK AT THE STADIUM...]

Reaper scoffs out of irritation and crossed his arms while tapping against his bicep, he was relieved when Present Mic announced that the Finals were about to begin. He got a familiar feeling when something was about to happen and he narrows his eyes at the two boys who walked onto the battleground. There was high tension between them as they were glaring at each other with so much hatred.

Softly, Reaper muttered under his breath, "I've got a bad feeling about this... It seems that I have to save the day once again..."
