It had been a few months since you've joined the League of Villains and it wasn't too bad. Sure being cooped up all day until a mission came along wasn't ideal, but if you were careful with it you could leave and go to the store. Having your face plastered all around town didn't bode well with going out during the busy day.
You got along with everyone pretty well, Toga was probably the closest thing to a best friend you had. Although having to hear her ramble about her new obsession every week was a downside, but after a while you learned to tune her out and nod your head along.
Shigaraki was a different story. To you he was fascinating. It started when you first joined and you just thought he was kinda weird and obsessed with killing a kid. Not that you're innocent, but kids are where you draw the line, future hero or not. As you got to know him though you wanted to know more and more. Eventually you had what Toga described as a crush, you just thought you were dying. Heart beating faster, sweaty palms, weird feeling in your stomach? Definitely dying. You didn't know how to approach the subject of said crush so you did the healthy thing and avoided him until necessary and drank the feelings away. That's how that works right?
You and Dabi had just gotten back from trying to recruit some new members, it didn't go well, and had to get rid of some evidence. You guys were currently at the bar as you told Kurogiri about the "mission". You hadn't noticed a certain boy in need of some serious skin care help walk in.
"It went fine if you don't count Dabi setting about five to eight people on fire." You sighed, taking the water Kurogiri set out for you.
"It was actually nine Doll, but it's cute that you tried to keep count." Dabi replied smirking at you before downing a shot.
Your relationship with Dabi was a love hate one, it was kinda more like a one-sided flirtationship. Not that you minded, he was only doing it to mess with you and you both knew nothing was going to happen. At the end of the day he was more like a brother.
For the next hour or so you have Dabi snarky sarcastic comments while he gives you flirty and suggestive remarks.
"I'm just saying, Doll, I could tire you out so you go to sleep easier." He said as he rested a hand on your knee.
"And I'm just saying that I would rather run six miles to tire myself out, you piece of burnt toast." You retorted leaning towards him while flicking his hand off your knee.
Shigaraki, tired of hearing Dabi speak (definitely not the fact that he was flirting with you), got up from the couch and walked over to the bar. Realizing that the pale man you harboured feelings for had heard everything you guys had said was in the room you began to feel your face start to heat up. Turning straight in your seat to hide your face you began to mess with the cup in front of you.
"Beat it Dabi, I need to talk to Y/N about an upcoming mission." As Dabi got up, saying goodnight to you as he left while giving your shoulder a gentle squeeze, Shigaraki took his seat.
"Yeah boss man? What's this about an upcoming mission?" You murmured, not trusting your voice.
"There's not one, you just seemed uncomfortable. Do you not like me? You avoid me constantly." Shigaraki asked, turning to face you in his seat.
Choking on the water you decided to finally drink, you turned to him as you tried to respond. However just making eye contact with him made you flustered. "I don't hate you, Shiggy."
"But you are avoiding me." He said.
"What? No, that absurd. What makes you think that?" You feign innocence knowing full well that you had been avoiding him for a few weeks.
You were probably the closest to Shigaraki out of all of the League. You hung out constantly and talked all the time. You had late night conversations when you couldn't sleep. You were like best friends, but after Toga had told you that you had a crush on the male you began to distance yourself.
"You think I hadn't noticed that one day you were always by my side talking my ear off and then the next day you would leave the room every time I walked in. You stopped coming to my room when you couldn't sleep." You could tell he was upset because he started scratching at his neck.
Gently grabbing his hands and moving then away from his face you replied softly, "I thought you stopped scratching your neck. Shiggy, if this was upsetting you that much why didn't you come to me sooner."
"Well I tried, but every time I've approached you, you run away." He gently held your hands making sure to leave his thumbs up. "So are you going to tell me why you just suddenly started ignoring me? Did I do something?"
"No, Shiggy you didn't do anything. I talked to Toga and she made me realize some things and I got scared and ran away instead of facing my issues."
"What was it? It must've been pretty serious or stupid if Toga said it." He laughed gently.
"Yeah it was stupid so let's just not even talk about it I promise I'll stop running away from you." You said trying to avoid the topic.
"Y/N what is it?" He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Well, you see. I thought I was dying-"
"What?!"
"Don't interrupt me, I'm not dying. I thought I was, so I went to Toga because she's clearly a doctor. And she told me I hadacrushonyou." You rushed out the last few words.
"You what?" He looked genuinely confused and it was kinda cute.
"She told me I had a crush on you." You laughed at yourself for acting so dumb about it, "Its really dumb thinking about it, I avoided you all because she told me I liked you. Hell, she was right. I think I was just scared of my own feelings."
He just looked at you gently while thinking of what to say next. "If you don't like me that's fine we can just ignore these last few weeks and go back to normal." Before you could comprehend what was happening he leaned forward and gently kissed you.
"I like you too. Have since you first joined the League." He smiled softly as he leaned back in his chair.
"Shiggy, as happy as this makes me, if we're going to kiss more you really gotta invest in some chapstick." You laughed smiling widely. He grumbled a response you couldn't quite hear as he led you out of the bar back to his room to go to bed.
