Dusk And Dawn (Todoroki X Reader)

Chapter 46 (Behind bars)

Y/N's POV:

"THIS SUCKS!" I shouted in protest for the 15th time in the last 30 minutes, kicking the bars of the prison cell again, "Ouch my foot!"

Within 5 seconds of being in Lovvelie we realised that this was the place with the villains... Because of course we'd choose the key that the villains already have...

And now here we were... in a jail cell...

They hadn't taken our stuff away from us though... which Katsuki said was 'unproffessional' of them.

"Y/N, you're just going to keep hurting yourself." Shoto, who was sitting on the floor in the corner, raised his head slightly and watched me kick the bars again.

"At least I'm doing something!" I yelped out, through the mild pain.

"Y/N..." Katsuki called out in a blunt voice, "You know thoes bars... are rusted... right? I could just snap them out at any time..."

My face flushed red in embarrassment as I noticed the large amount of red rust covering the bars for the first time.

"T-then why haven't you?!" I huffed.

"Well, think about it. There isn't much of a point in trying to escape when this place is crawling with villains who could just as easily put us back in." Bakugo shrugged, pulling one of his work-in-progress invensions out of his bag.

He looked down and continued to work on whatever the thing was. His calmness was close to unsettling...

"And don't you find it a little suspicious that they HAVE just locked us up?" Todoroki added, "I mean, they could've just killed us as soon as we arrived and taken the keys... but they haven't. There's gotta be a reason for it."

My heart sunk a little, His words reminding me of something else Dabi had said... That villains don't kill.

I shook it off and turned away from the boys, trying to get a glimps of what was going on outside through the small gap in the door.

But soon enough... the door was opened further... by a villain.

He was on... well, the shorter side. I suppose his army general's cap and long tattered black cape were ment to make up for his otherwise completely unthreatening appearance. I could see clumps of lilac hair sticking out from under the cap while his eyes were completely cast in shadow. He carried a large murky silver tray in his hands, a few cups of water, slices of bread and apples on it.

He scowled slightly as he approached us, his dark purple eyes full of hatred and desgust.

"Don't call me merciful for agreeing to keep you all alive." He sneered, kicking the dust on the floor into the cage, "I only did that because our new leader said it'd be worth it."

He placed the tray on the floor, within my reach and continued to scowl.

"What does that stupid guy know anyway? He isn't qualified to be a leader if he goes about sparing the enemy like this..." He growled to himself, placing his hands on his hips and walking a couple steps away.

"Why ARE we being spared anyway?" Todoroki piped up, walking closer to the bars and reaching out for some food.

The villian stormed back over to the cage instantly and forced his foot down onto Shoto's hand, digging his heel into his fingers.

"DON'T ASK SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS! O-or at least as someone who KNOWS!" He yelled, his voice crackling more towards the end.

He stomped his foot down on Todoroki's hand a couple more times, like a bratty child throwing a tantrum before letting out an infuriated groan. He then started to stomp back over to the door. Once he'd glanced outside however... he stopped. Whatever he saw out there agrovated him more then ever.

"DAMN IT!" He exclaimed, slamming the door shut, "This is so stupid. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! THIS PLACE WAS RUNNING JUST PERFECTLY BEFORE THAT A**HOLE OVERTHREW ME AS THE LEADER!"

"He's got anger issues almost as bad as your Kacchan!" I whipered, giggling a little.

"Can it Y/N, I DON'T have anger issues!" Bakugo shouted, gaining the villain's attension again.

"OH AND YOU THREE CAN SHUT UP! KEEP YOUR SMELLY BREATH IN YOUR DIRTY MOUTHS, I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY!"

"And WE don't wanna listen to your crisis or whatever. Go somewhere where someone would actually care!" Bakugo retorted, baring his teeth and narrowing his eyes.

"THAT THE F*CKING PROBLEM!" The villain tore off his hat and threw it at the prison bars to let out some of his frustration.

And it worked. His anger melted away in the brief silence that followed, his deep and shakey breathes left nothing but the sorrow he'd been burying.

But I was more caught up on... well... what he was hiding under that hat. There sat the answer to what his quirk was...

Ontop of his head sat 2 large mouse ears with lilac fur. To put it bluntly... this boy was a rat...

"Everyone... is SUPPOSED to care... but they don't." He muttered, sinking onto his knees in defeat and staring at the ground.

I took hold of the prison bars and stepped closer to them, looking at the former leader of these villains and his tears hit the floor.

"What do you mean they don't? Didn't you just say that you used to be their leader?" I asked, sounding alot more sympathetic then any of us were prepaired for.

The villain tried to speak through the sobs but it didn't come out as anything more then a quiet squeak. Slowly, he raised his head to look at us, his eyes tear-flooded but now visible. They were a deep shade of lavender, the vibrent colour glittering due to the tears.

I glanced over at Bakugo then at Todoroki to try and read their emotions. It seemed that we were all thinking the same thing...

He's too innocent-looking to be the leader of a bunch of criminals...

And thus, in a last ditch effort to cure my writer's block... I bring in another cameo character... Sorry... (You just read 1019 words)
