The Next Successor

Telling

"Why are we here?" Bakugo questioned with confusion as Midoriya walked up to the apartment he shared with his mom.

"It's safe." Midoriya shrugged as he shoved the key inside before turning the knob.

"Safe from what?" Bakugo spat as they walked into the apartment. Dust particles could be seen floating through the air from the blinds being open. As soon as Midoriya flipped on the light switch on, the particles disappeared from the naked eyes vision.

"The League of Villains." Midoriya replied as he began taking off his gray hoodie. Bakugo's eyes scanned his new outfit choice as he took in every detail of his body. He was wearing a classy white button up shirt with an emerald green silk vest. His muscles popped noticely in the white long sleeved shirt. His tie was done nicely, unlike his school tie used to look. The only thing that looked out of place, was his old red shoes.

"Who taught you how to tie your tie?" Bakugo scoffed as he imagined Midoriya in his school uniform with a scrunched up tie.

"Dabi." Midoriya replied with a smirk as he pulled a little red contact case out of his pants pocket. The right side was missing the lid, leaving the left side the only one for use. Midoriya sat down at the small kitchen table and unscrewed the left side of the contact case. "You can sit." Midoriya said as he motioned to the chair across from him.

"Tch." Bakugo spat as he slowly made his way to the table, not taking his eyes off Midoriya. The freckled man slowly lifted his hands to his eyes, reaching for his left. He slowly put two fingers in his eyes before pinching them together slightly.

"What are you doing idiot?" Bakugo scoffed as he sat down. Midoriya didn't answer as he slowly pulled the contact out, closing his eye immediately. He carefully placed the contact into the case before screwing the lid back on.

"You have perfect vision." Bakugo stated as he stared at the man suspiciously. "Why is there only one contact?"

"It isn't prescriptioned." Midoriya said as he slowly opened his eye. "It's a green colored contact to hide this." He stated as he fully opened his eyes, flinching at the sensitivity from the air hitting it. Bakugo's mouth dropped as he stared into Midoriya's left red eye.

"Why is your eye red?" Bakugo questioned in shock. "How is it red?"

"You have ten minutes." Midoriya said towards the blonde. "Ten minutes to ask any question you want." He said sternly. He didn't want to fully show Bakugo how broken he was yet. He was going to let the blonde know the truth about what he was really up to, so he didn't want him to know how much he was hurting. The last thing he wanted was for All Might or Nezu to pull the plug on their operation. So Midoriya thought it would be best to continue to play tough guy for a little more while.

"Why ten minutes?" Bakugo spat.

"You'll see." Midoriya replied with a mishevious smirk. "You may start." He said as he leaned back, relaxing into the wooden chair.

"Why do you look different?" Bakugo questioned as he began looking over Midoriya's face and hair once more.

"Describe different." Midoriya said playfully.

"Your hair is long enough to put in a bun, you have one fucking red eye and your freckles have spread across your nose." Bakugo stated in a matter of fact tone. Midoriya playfully smiled as he leaned into the table.

"Kaachan? Do you actually look at me enough to know where my freckles are?" He questioned in a flirtatious voice. Bakugo's cheeks turned pink as his body slowly grew warmer.

"Just answer the damn question." Bakugo muttered as he looked down, attempting to hide his embarrassment.

"Shigaraki has a friend who can alter appearances with her quirk." Midoriya replied with a sigh.
