✎﹏﹏﹏﹏ An annoyed groan escaped behind crusty lips.
“The fuck is he?”
The leather that cradled the villain squeaked as he shifted. Pinkies up, the out-of-date Wii flickered. Be nice if All for One offered pennies, but the league made do; a test of strength to overcome more than hero’s babble.
Wooden floorboards creaked to signify another. Tomura didn’t bother; only the hint of his nostrils flared.
“You’re late.”
Silence, the ambiance of thunder gripped tight.
BING!
The coin on the screen spun. One of his lackeys found the tossed gaming system in the trash- an apology for failure.
“You know I work.”
A new voice broke through, light soles stomped. With a rustle of plastic, a small bag landed on the dirty coffee table.
A cockroach scrurried.
“Sorry, it’s cold.”
“I figured.”
Lucky he couldn’t decay the bastard, he actually enjoyed their game nights.
The ash-toned scarf unwrapped.
Another ding for victory.
“Why don’t you use those hero funds to get us an Xbox?”
An eyebrow raised, crimson eyes stung.
“Really?”
Long ago, during a signing, Shigaraki made friends with Eraser- before this shit went down. Unknown to the teacher? The hero’s signature sat guarded behind a glass case.
An eye rolled as the hero took a bite of cold teriyaki.
Dabi? Toga? Not a clue. Shigaraki made sure.
Shota handed the sake halfway through the game.
“Cheers.”
Next month?
Yeah, next month.
