#Hitoshi x Himiko

[rxdidz]

★ — i’ve never known someone like you. (glue song 🤭)

★ — synopsis: random things that include dating them!!

★ ft. izu, denki, sho, sero, shinsou, jirou, ochako, toga

izuku — patching him up after training/ a fight, study dates, cooking with him, holding hands in the halls, smiling all the time, him blushing over the littlest things, matching pajamas, #1 hype man, glancing at each other in class, good morning and good night texts.

denki — his head in your lap as you play with his hair, painting his nails, drawing hearts on his hands, listening to music in the kitchen, facetiming all night, matching onsies, doing his eyeliner, going to n arcade and beating him at every game, whispering and giggling in class.

shoto — telling each other all your problems, admiring how pretty you are in class, best friends to lovers, stargazing, flustered at any physical affection you give him, painting with him, moving your hair out of your face for you, cheek kisses.

sero — teaching you to skateboard, getting fast food at 1am, having his arm slung over your shoulder, movie dates, laying on the roof together, giving you his jacket when your cold, hugging you from behind, doing facemasks together.

shinsou — gossiping at 5am, annoying you to get your attention, being protective over you, sneaking over to his dorm, sarcastic nicknames, cooking for you, playing video games all night, messing with his hair.

jirou — listening to music, holding hands, teasing each other, her doing your makeup, being flustered around you, teaching you guitar, painting her nails, late night phone calls, wearing her band shirts, concert dates, dragging her out of bed, cuddling.

ochako — watching studio ghilbi movies, small pecks on the lips n cheek, giving her gifts, always checking up on you, being taller than her, study dates, best friends to lovers fr, her being flustered over everything, walking around the city at night.

toga — her doing your hair so you can match, deep n long talks on the roof, going to the convince store at 3am, gushing over how cute and pretty you are, being gentle around you, hugging you 24/7, patching her up after a fight, constantly reminding you how much she loves you.

Thank you to those who replied to my ask about villains for my MHA story. And thank you (sorry I forgot your username otherwise I would have put it here) for leaving me with this:

Instead of basing off of other characters, my suggestion is to think, "what are the themes and needs of the story?" Or put another way, "who are these villains meant to oppose?" Toga exists to foil Ochako. Dabi foils Todoroki. Shigarakil foils Deku. Kurogiri foils Aizawa. AFO foils and opposes All Might. Spinner, Compress, Magne, etc. exist in the story to provide support. So, who are your protagonists? What plot do you want to tell with them?

So now I have a different question.

pirate au dabihawks where they unofficially adopt the kids they come across and they just keep multiplying:

Dabi: Keigo.

Hawks: Oh, dove! I didn't see you there. You look really pretty this morning baby!

Dabi:

Hawks: Alright, alright. He's just so cute, okay? I couldn't resist scooping him up and bundling him. He looks just like a chick if you saw him, Tou!

Dabi:

Hawks: Wait is this about Toga? I thought you agreed to let her stay already!

Dabi:

Hawks: No? Fuck. How did you find out about Shinsou already?

Dabi: ... it's actually about the bird seed I found under the bed but continue on. What is this about another child I'm hearing, hmm Kei?

Summary: Today was going to be a long day.

After years of terrorizing Japan, the League of Villains has finally been arrested, the last six members falling into custody after being betrayed by the double-agent they had trusted. Above all else, people want answers - but those answers aren't going to be given willingly. Maybe a certain purple-haired student could help them with that little problem.

In the end, maybe some secrets should have stayed hidden.

---

Review: I've never read an interrogation fic for the League before. It was interesting to get an idea of what their interviews might look like. I though their character portrayals were spot-on. Of course, I originally went into this looking forward to the DabiXHawks content. Hawks was in it so deep with Dabi that he literally helps breaks the whole league out of jail just because Dabi ended up accidently arrested with them. -_-

Shinsou makes a great interrogator with his quirk. That should be one of his full time jobs once he gets his actual Hero license.

LOV-as-family is also my jam. The difference here is that Dabi doesn't consider himself a part of that family and was ready and willing to betray them.

[bnha-more-like-bnh-gay]

If I may request the most crack and batshit ships for headcanons possible then I shall open the floodgates with togamina

:000 excellent

T o g a m i n a

The absolute c h a o s these two would create

I love them both so much. Up until I was 18, I had the biggest crush on both of them

So, Mina, Kiri, tsu, Shouto, and izuku worked together on this one to get toga over to the hero’s side

Toga saw Mina and thought she was cute, but didn’t have romantic feelings for her until they got to talking

They started taking during the big battle where dabi tells us that he’s a Todoroki

Mina and toga are fighting and Mina is trying to distract toga so, what does she do? She starts flirting with her of course!

Toga is s h o o k

She doesn’t know what to do, so she just starts lashing out and explaining why she had sided with the villains

At this point, izuku, tsu, and Mina are together (I know it didn’t happen in the manga, but for the sake of these headcanons, let’s pretend). So, it’s three against toga; not the best odds, but she’ll take it!

They start to get to her after offering her help. Offering to be her friends. Being kind to her, like so few people were

She hates hero society because of how it outcasts people like her, people who aren’t “naturally talented” whatever that means…

So, izuku tells her how he got his quirk late. Really late. Too late. How he lost all his friends, how he was bullied by his “best friend”

That was her first crack

Then, it’s Mina telling her about the bulling kiri faced for his quirk, but how strong and kind he is

Then, it’s tsu telling her that she’s valid in her anger, but that trying to kill all might won’t help. Izuku even encourages her to go after endeavor instead!

Later that night, when she’s alone, nursing her injuries, she thinks about them all. How are they still so… innocent? How could they possibly be so good with how horrible they were treated?

She wants to be like Uraraka. Like deku. Like Mina and kirishima. She wants tsu to tell her that she would be alright, she wants deku and Mina to tell her that she’s going to succeed. She wants more than dabi telling her that she’s tolerable. Or twice, a man in his 30s, telling her that she’s attractive.

So, she sneaks out of the hideout and into ua

She meets Mina, kirishima, izuku, and Shouto hanging out.

Yes, she breaks in. She’s toga, what do you want from her? Legality?! Please 🙄

Kiri and Shouto both freak out at first

“oH SHIT! O H S H I T ! SOMEONE CALL MR. AIZAWA-”

But Mina and izuku shut it down. They talk for a while. About how toga would be willing to strike up a deal with them.

So, in the middle of the godforsaken night, mr. aizawa and present mic are called aizawa wants a raise, mic is just happy to help 😔

They talk for hours. And by hours, I mean the sun has risen and set yet again. They get nezu, toshinori, recovery girl, power loader, midnight, they get tsu, they get hound dog, they get tsukauchi, and they strike up a deal.

Toga can join the 1-A hero course after betraying the information that she’s learned with the league.

And so it goes

Two weeks later, toga has joined a reformation course hosted in none other than class A

The others are a bit hesitant at first, but she is welcomed by several as well.

After a few weeks of hanging with Shouto, kiri, Mina, kaminari, sero, tsu, Uraraka, Hatsume, shinsou, Monoma, izuku, and Hatsume, she realizes “holy shit, Mina is reeeeally cute”

It takes off from there

Now, Mina has thought toga was reeeeally cute for a while now. After seeing how hard she was trying to make the others trust her she can really see how good of a person toga is. She has her quirks (pun intended) sure, stabbing and blood might be some abnormal interests, but man does she look cute talking about them.

She actually knows a lot about the human body, and tutors Mina in biology!

Now, the true chaos starts in her second semester at ua. Most of the students have come around to her being there, but some are still apprehensive. She’s decided to make candy for Valentine’s Day! Sato helps!

By this point, she has a massive crush on Mina and when toga has feelings, she isn’t one to hide them! She’s hidden most of her life, that’s not something she wants to do anymore. So, she bought Mina a gift, and intends to tell her about her feelings.

The entire izucrew knows about said feelings, and they hype her up all week.

On the other side of things, Mina also doesn’t hide her feelings! She also happens to be planning a dramatic profession of her undying love

The kiricrew and izucrew (or the kiridecrew) together to make sure it goes perfectly

And it does!

They hug, and then go out for ice cream

It’s adorable

Now that the chaotic duo is together, they wreak havoc on ua and the world alike!

The most badass hero duo

Let me know if you want one where Mina becomes a villain 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

I hope you enjoyed!!!! Thank you for the ask!! This was really fun to write!!!

dabi, toga, kirishima, tamaki, and shinsou x reader

got a request for a reader who sends the characters a text that their parents are fighting and asking to come over! mostly fluff, maybe a little sad in some parts but nothing too angsty

eijirou kirishima:

•as soon as he gets the text he's telling his moms and they all start getting ready to host you last minute (his moms make you hot chocolate🥺)

•will sit outside with you while you smoke even if he doesn't

•burrito wraps you in a blanket and plays your comfort show/movie while hand feeding you snacks

•speaking of snacks. since you're staying over at his house he is making the most of it and will make you bake with him. (he's so bad at it. you have to save whatever treat you're making but he's trying his best)

•tells you you can always come to his house, even without warning. he might even give u a key

tamaki amajiki:

•will let you bum a couple cigarettes off him. i def think he's also a smoker

•he probably has his own apartment or something and will let you stay with him as long as you need

•he starts cooking for you as soon as he gets the text (it's his love language) so expect some comfort food

•let's you borrow his clothes to stay in if you want them

•will make you do a spa day with him, he puts face masks on the both of you, he runs you both a bath, he washes your hair, he does your nails. definitely the type to love pampering his s/o

hitoshi shinsou:

•also probably has his own place, let's you crash there as long as you need

•another smoker. probably has a pack specifically for you lmao. if anyone can relate to your situation it's probably him.

•will make you help him build a fort. what's more comforting than being surrounded by pillows and blankets? also perfect spot for you two to nap

•he probably has cats so expect him to drop them on your lap. they're great cuddlers

•you fall asleep half in his lap with his arms around you while he games

himiko toga:

•lives with the league so you can literally stay as long as you want they don't care

•she may or may not have stolen a pack of cigarettes of jin for you to have when you got there. who knows honestly

•also definitely one who can relate to your situation so expect to get tackled into a hug as soon as she sees you

•another one who likes to pamper their s/o, she'll want to paint your nails, do your hair, dress you up, everything. even if you're not into that, it's worth going along with just for her smiles

•has matching pajama sets for you both and you Have to wear them.

dabi/touya todoroki:

•lives with the league too obvi, you don't have to worry about if you can come over or not

•also very much can relate to your situation. guy probably starts chainsmoking himself as soon as he gets the text, stressed that you're going through something similar

•will offer you the pack he's running through when you get there

•probably isn't amazing at offering comfort, but he will pull you into a hug that lasts probably a little too long but neither of you are complaining

•makes you help him cook a meal but he rules the kitchen with an iron fist so you get kicked out. you get banished to the couch

Love Like Ghosts (Chapter 8) - a Shigaraki x f!Reader fic

You knew the empty house in a quiet neighborhood was too good to be true, but you were so desperate to get out of your tiny apartment that you didn't care, and now you find yourself sharing space with something inhuman and immensely powerful. As you struggle to coexist with a ghost whose intentions you're unsure of, you find yourself drawn unwillingly into the upside world of spirits and conjurers, and becoming part of a neighborhood whose existence depends on your house staying exactly as it is, forever. But ghosts can change, just like people can. And as your feelings and your ghost's become more complex and intertwined, everything else begins to crumble. (cross-posted to Ao3)

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13

Chapter 8

There’s something wrong with your house, but you knew that when you bought it, and looking at your neighborhood right now, you’d never guess the secrets it holds. The block party looks perfectly normal. Food cooking, kids running around, adults congregating with drinks and setting up chairs. The kids are laughing and chasing each other. Himiko and Shinsou are sitting on the curb, texting – presumably texting other people, although they could just be deadly serious about avoiding eavesdroppers. Phantom is bouncing eagerly at the end of her leash, pulling to get to the party. To get to normal.

For a moment you feel the difference acutely. The world of your house, Tomura’s world, feels a million miles away from the party you’ve just stepped into, even if the only real division is the property line. It’s a distance you can cross easily, that you cross every day, but Tomura can’t. Not unless –

You’re not thinking about that. You’re going to pretend that what he said as you were leaving didn’t happen. You said you wished he could come with you, he said you were stupid, and you left. That’s all. You steel yourself and step down from the sidewalk into the street.

Hizashi notices you first, of course. And he heads directly towards you, of course. You try not to quail before him. He speaks first, which helps. “My husband, my son, and my daughter have all informed me that I was ��a bit of a dick’ during our conversation earlier. What do you think?”

“What do you think?” If he didn’t buy it from his family, there’s no way you’re piling on.

“I think you care more about protecting this neighborhood than you do about protecting yourself,” Hizashi says. “Which is admirable, if somewhat ill-considered. As far as I can tell, you’re the only human on this street without a tragic backstory. How did you get here?”

“Do you really want to talk about my backstory right now?” you ask. “Does it matter?”

“Less than your commitment to the neighborhood,” Hizashi says. “We have a common goal, and Hitoshi has suggested that “beefing” with a human girl isn’t the best look for me. With that in mind – truce?”

You can’t afford to fight with Hizashi. You also can’t afford to be scared of him. “Truce.”

“Good,” Hizashi says. He smiles. You’re pretty sure he knows you find his smile scary, but you hold it together. “Come on, then. Atsuhiro bought drinks.”

Atsuhiro did buy drinks. Atsuhiro bought a lot of drinks, if the pile of six-packs and assorted bottles of hard liquor and wine are anything to go by. You have a hard time believing Atsuhiro could afford this, and you’re not the only one. Aizawa’s hovering nearby, a disapproving look on his face. “I paid for it this time,” Atsuhiro is saying as you approach with Hizashi. “Look. I have a receipt.”

He holds it out for Aizawa to inspect, and Aizawa’s expression relaxes – for about two seconds. “This is for one case of beer and one bottle of wine. You stole the rest of it.”

“Hizashi never said I had to stop stealing. He said I had to stop getting caught.” Atsuhiro gestures proudly at the alcohol. “Based on the rumored nature of the conversation we’re about to have, we’ll need every last drop.”

“Let’s get started, then.” Hizashi raises his voice. “Everybody who needs to know, get over here.”

‘Needs to know’ is apparently a self-determined category – Himiko and Shinsou both come over, while Jin pointedly chooses not to in favor of supervising the kids. Jin’s mom is here, and so is Magne, and Spinner. Keigo hurries out of his house, and he’s not alone. Dabi’s trailing behind him, wearing a hoodie and a surgical mask. He beelines for the alcohol as soon as he spots it and Keigo yanks him back. “No.”

“You’re no fun.”

“No, I just remember the last time you drank. It went down your throat and spilled everywhere, because you don’t have a stomach.” Keigo rolls his eyes. “That’s my last decent hoodie and you don’t get to ruin it.”

“Sorry, but it’s true. Alcohol privileges are reserved for people who can appreciate them,” Hizashi says. “That means not you, Hitoshi.”

“Or you, Himiko,” Jin’s mom says, and Himiko pouts. “I’ll take some white wine if you have it.”

You end up sitting in a folding chair between Magne and Keigo, holding a beer you’re not planning to drink. The box with the documents sits at your feet. You’re waiting for Hizashi to say something, or maybe Aizawa, and after a few minutes of awkward silence punctuated by everyone slurping their drink of choice, Spinner makes eye contact with you from across the circle. “Well?” he asks.

“Well what?”

“You’re the one who called the meeting,” Spinner says. You were, weren’t you? You forgot about that, maybe on purpose. “Why are we here?”

“And while you’re explaining that, honey,” Magne says from next to you, “you might want to explain that little wrestling match in front of your house this afternoon. Don’t tell me the boys were fighting over you.”

“No!” You and Keigo recoil from the thought in unison. Keigo keeps talking. “That’s – something else. Nothing to do with this.”

“This has to do with Aizawa calling me yesterday afternoon, giving me a list of names, and telling me to look them up in the public records database,” you say. You tap the box of documents with your foot. “I did it, but I wanted to know why I was doing it, so me and Keigo decided to withhold the documents until Hizashi and Aizawa tell us what they need them for.”

“Which is what you’re all here for. Witnesses, since our two remaining ghosts don’t trust me not to put a whole world of hurt on their humans,” Hizashi says.

“And because the point was made that everyone in the neighborhood deserves the truth,” Aizawa says. “This has the potential to affect us all.”

“What does?” Jin’s mom asks. She’s starting to look worried. “What’s going on?”

“You talk first,” you say to Hizashi. Phantom is snoring underneath your chair. “Then I’ll explain.”

“At least someone in that house has a brain,” Hizashi remarks to no one in particular. He drains his glass of vodka, pours another, drains that, too, and sits forward. “One of my contacts from the old days – another unconfined ghost, like myself before Shou locked it down – reported that she’d sensed significant amounts of ghostly power emanating from someone who was assuredly not a ghost. This individual has been visiting old haunts, or the sites of old haunts if the building’s been knocked down, and asking questions of everyone they can find. As far as we can tell, they’re trying to figure out what circumstances led to the complete lack of ghosts where ghosts are supposed to be.”

“It would be coincidental if they’d visited only one or two sites. I keep a log of former haunts, and every site in the country has had a visit,” Aizawa says. A chill goes down your spine. “In some cases, the person visiting the site was forced to leave a name and contact information in order to receive all the information they requested. I was able to collect seven names, which I provided to someone who could access the public records database without drawing attention to themselves.”

Everyone looks at you. You pop the tab on your beer, drink some, and open the box. “Your list had seven names, but only four people,” you tell Aizawa. “Two of those people are deceased. Akaguro Chizome –”

You pull that file out and hand it to Magne, who scrutinizes it briefly before handing it off to Atsuhiro. “And Chisaki Kai,” you continue. You hand that file to Aizawa directly. “He died very recently.”

Aizawa’s expression didn’t change when you said the name, but his eyes widen when he starts reading the file. He touches Hizashi’s shoulder and beckons him to look. “It’s him,” Hizashi says, surprised. “Magne, Atsuhiro, get over here. Get a load of this asshole. Is this the guy who summoned you?”

Magne chugs her wine, steals your beer and chugs the rest of it, and goes to investigate. Meanwhile, Akaguro’s file has found its way into Himiko’s possession. She’s clutching it so hard the paper is crumpling. “Himiko, what is it?” Jin’s mom asks. You really need to stop calling her Jin’s mom. She’s Himiko’s mom too. “Are you all right?”

“He’s dead,” Himiko whispers. She doesn’t blink back tears, exactly. She closes and opens her eyelids, but her pupils have completely vanished. “My conjurer. He’s gone –”

Akaguro was her conjurer? You and Spinner and Keigo trade startled looks while Shinsou tries awkwardly to comfort Himiko. Himiko’s mom is comforting her rather than trying to figure out why she’s crying, but you have to wonder. Way back when you were first learning about ghosts, Jin said that he thought Himiko had been summoned unwillingly, but he wasn’t sure. Is she’s crying because she’s happy her conjurer is gone? Or because she’s not?

“Hold on a second,” Dabi says loudly. Himiko’s mom and Aizawa both shush him. “You’re telling me two conjurers are dead, and that’s half the people on this street safe for good? What kind of bullshit is that? Let me see that thing.”

He snatches the file from Himiko, then chucks it back at her a second later. “I’ve seen him. He wasn’t mine.” He goes for Chisaki’s file next. “Not mine either. One of these –”

You yank the box out of sight. “Sit down.”

“Watch it,” Dabi warns. His mask obscures his mouth, but it’s not hard to imagine the sneer. “You’re all alone out in the street. He can’t protect you here. Mouthing off to me might not be your smartest move.”

“It’s not mouthing off. Everything that’s in this box is going to come out of it, but I’m only explaining it once.” It’s been too long of a day. Your patience for Dabi’s nonsense is approximately zero. “We’ll pick up once everybody’s settled. Sit down.”

Dabi glares at you, but he doesn’t threaten you again, and you move to deescalate even further. “Besides, your conjurer is in here. Didn’t Keigo tell you?”

Dabi’s eyes widen, and next to you, Keigo makes an exasperated noise. “Thanks a bunch,” he says to you, then faces the group at large. “Two of the remaining five names on Aizawa’s list refer to the same guy, who’s still out there as far as we know. Ujiko Daruma and Garaki Kyudai. Same dude. Do either of those names mean anything to anybody else?”

‘Anybody else’ can only be referring to Hizashi. “No,” Hizashi says. “Neither of those were mine. What?”

Aizawa is staring at him. He doesn’t say anything. Hizashi gets frustrated in approximately two seconds. “Don’t hit me with those doe eyes, Shou. I don’t know what you want.”

“Be honest,” Aizawa says. “You don’t remember your conjurer’s name.”

You’re not sure why Hizashi would hide that – Tomura doesn’t seem embarrassed about not remembering who his conjurer is – but Dabi starts cackling a second later and gives you a demonstration. “Shut up,” Hizashi snaps at him. “It was two hundred years ago. You’d forget things, too!”

“The name of the guy who put me here? No way.” Dabi’s laughing so hard he’s crying – and he’s crying blood. “What, were you just that desperate to get out of there?”

There? “You remember what it’s like in there. I had a chance and I took it.” Hizashi is scowling. You didn’t think it was possible for anything to be scarier than his smile, but his scowl is even worse. “The name of the guy who gave me my ticket out didn’t matter that much.”

“You’re sure it was a guy?” Shinsou asks. “Aren’t there any girl conjurers?”

“Not on that list. Pass out the files on Garaki. That might help.”

You pass the Garaki files to the right, towards Hizashi. The Ujiko files go left to Keigo. “As far as who’s visiting those sites, there’s at least one live conjurer, and they’re using the names of dead conjurers to hide their trail,” you say. You look to Aizawa. “Is that what you’re thinking, too?”

Aizawa nods. “The use of the dead conjurers’ names is especially concerning, as it indicates a community of sorts between conjurers, as well as a desire to go undetected. They might not know we’re here, but they’re at least aware of the possibility that someone might be watching.”

“Now we are, too,” Magne says. She doesn’t look all that worried about it, but then again, her conjurer is dead. “There’s only one conjurer on that list who might be interested in us. We’ll deal with him if he shows.”

“We can’t just kill people,” Aizawa says. His daughter’s conjurer is dead, too. “It’ll draw attention. If there is a community of conjurers, they’ll know where he was last seen, and they’ll know where we are.”

“Besides, it’s not clear that we could kill him.” Atsuhiro is frowning. “In order to bind Dabi against his will, this Garaki must be uncomfortably strong.”

“We’ve got Tomura,” Spinner points out.

“Tomura can’t leave the property,” you say. “Does it take a ghost to kill a conjurer?”

“No,” Himiko says. It’s the first time she’s spoken up in a while. Her voice is watery. “People can do it. I’ve seen.”

“You have?” Keigo leans forward, intrigued. “Where?”

It’s quiet for a moment. Himiko glances at her mother. Her mother, whose face has gone white. “I thought it was your conjurer,” she says. “If I’d known –”

Jin and Himiko’s mom killed someone? You can’t help but stare, and you’re not the only one. “You did the right thing,” Aizawa says at once. “Any conjurer who approaches a former ghost is a threat. You protected your daughter and your family. I would have done the same.”

“Any of us would,” Keigo says.

Dabi makes a disparaging noise. “To return the favor.”

“No,” Shinsou says shortly. “If you wouldn’t kill for your family, what’s the point of having one?”

“Now that’s twisted,” Spinner says. He leans over for a fist-bump, and Shinsou obliges. “He’s right. That’s what family is for.”

“That is not what family is for. Who raised you?” Magne jokes. Spinner cracks up. “I believe my human. Dabi, sweetie, you should believe yours. He certainly puts up with enough from you.”

Dabi protests, and Atsuhiro joins in on the ribbing. Shinsou rises from his seat and crosses the circle to sit with his dads, and Himiko leans against her mom, looking drained. Even Keigo is focused on his ghost – mainly to make sure Dabi doesn’t set his hoodie on fire. You’re the only one here who’s alone. You scoop Phantom out from under your seat and cuddle her in y our lap, trying to stifle that stupid, lonely feeling. There’s nothing to be lonely about, because there’s nobody to miss, nobody who should be here with you. What Tomura said wasn’t something he meant. It’s not anything that could ever be true.

Everyone’s losing focus, and you’ve still got one set of files left in the box. “Hey,” you say, your voice too quiet and too shaky. You hug Phantom a little closer for courage and try again. “Hey! We’re not done. There’s one more in here.”

The neighborhood turns back to you, semi-reluctantly. “So?” Himiko says. “Tomura’s conjurer doesn’t matter because Tomura’s still a ghost, and Hizashi’s conjurer probably has so many ghosts he doesn’t care. Why do we need this other guy?”

“Tomura’s conjurer and Hizashi’s conjurer could be the same person,” Aizawa says, which shuts everybody else up in a hurry. “A conjurer capable of summoning either of them would be wielding an almost unbeatable amount of power. Garaki could be handled –”

“Are you saying I’m weak?”

Aizawa ignores Dabi. “But the only person capable of handling Tomura’s conjurer would likely be Tomura himself. And Tomura’s bound to the house.”

That’s not the only problem with Tomura dealing with his own conjurer. There’s the legend Spinner told you about, the one where ghosts who kill their conjurers get sucked back into the world between. You couldn’t admit how you felt before, but you can’t hide from it now – the idea of losing Tomura that way throws you into a panic, strong enough that Phantom starts whining and nuzzling into your armpit, trying to calm you down. You don’t want to lose Tomura. You might not want him to embody himself permanently, but you don’t want to lose him, either.

Nobody else is thinking along the same lines as you are. “So we knock down the house,” Magne says with a shrug. “Then he’s loose. Problem solved.”

“In favor of causing an even bigger problem,” Aizawa snaps, appalled. “Do you have any idea of the kind of havoc he could wreak unchecked?”

“Hey, maybe that was true two years ago,” Hizashi says, slinging an arm around Aizawa’s shoulders. “Right now he looks pretty checked to me.”

He nods at you, and you feel your face flush. Everybody else is nodding – knowingly, in the case of everybody but Shinsou and Spinner. They all seem to think the problem’s solved, but Aizawa doesn’t. “That lasts exactly as long as she’s alive,” he says flatly. “And no longer.”

Hizashi is rolling his eyes, calling Aizawa out for being gloomy, but Aizawa isn’t wrong. Tomura would never embody himself, and he’s already made it clear that you leaving him is something he’s not prepared to tolerate – leaving him by dying included. He can’t make you a ghost like him, no matter how much he wants to, and when he realizes he can’t follow you wherever you’ve gone, he’ll be furious. Probably with you, since you left him, but you won’t be around to hear about it. You’ll be wherever humans go, hopefully with Phantom and however many dogs you’ll have had who died before you. Tomura will be someone else’s problem then, and unfortunately, you think Aizawa’s right – he won’t be a problem anyone’s equipped to handle.

“Knocking down her house can’t be our Plan A,” Keigo says, and you breathe a way-too-shaky sigh of relief. “It shouldn’t even be our Plan D. Worst-case scenario, that house is our fallback position. For that to work we need it to be standing.”

“Agreed,” Jin and Himiko’s mom says. You really need to learn her name. “But I don’t want us to need a fallback position at all. There has to be a way to deal with this before we’re found out.”

“There’s an idea,” Magne muses. “Why don’t we just kill Garaki before he finds us?”

“Killing him away from the neighborhood would mean our location won’t be revealed,” Atsuhiro says. He’s holding Garaki’s file and he flips through it. “There’s a lot of information here. We can find what we need to find him first.”

“He’ll see you coming,” you say. You didn’t have a strong opinion at first, but now you’re firmly in the camp of nobody doing anything other than trying to stay hidden. “They can sense ghostly energy, can’t they? If you two and Hizashi come down on him –”

“I’ll do it,” Spinner says at once. You stare at him and he shrugs. “I did say I’d kill for my ghost.”

“Technically, you’d be killing for his ghost.” You point at Keigo, who rolls his eyes. “Still up for it?”

“It would be for the whole neighborhood,” Jin’s mom says. She throws down the rest of her wine. “I’ll do it, too.”

“Not you. You’ve got kids,” Hizashi says. He turns on Aizawa as Aizawa’s opening his mouth. “Not you either, babe. You’ve got kids, too. So that leaves –”

You know exactly who it leaves. You and Keigo and Spinner and maybe Jin, once Jin finds out that anybody might be interested in hurting the neighborhood. Keigo rolls his shoulders, cracks his neck. “I’m up for some conjurer-hunting,” he says. “What about you all?”

You open your mouth to argue, but Aizawa renders it unnecessary a second later. “Not her.”

“Why? Because she’s a girl?” Himiko frowns. “That’s sexist.”

“It’s not about that. If anything happens to her, we lose control of her ghost.” Aizawa glances behind you, at your house. You wonder if Tomura’s visible, or if he’s staying just out of sight, listening. You wonder what he thinks of it all. “We need his cooperation. She stays.”

“What about my cooperation?” Dabi snaps. “You’re think I’m just going to let my human go after my conjurer? Have you lost your shit?”

“We’re in a bind,” Hizashi admits. “The ghosts would be better suited to deal with this, but if we advertise our presence –”

“Do it on purpose.”

So Tomura was listening after all. Everyone jumps at the sound of his voice. “Do it on purpose,” he repeats. “Get away from here. Use one of you to draw the conjurer’s attention, wait for it to close in, and help the humans do the rest.”

“One of us should be bait?” Magne shakes her head. “No.”

“If you won’t do it, I will,” Hizashi says shortly. “He won’t be able to resist me. I’ll hold his attention –”

“You have kids.” Aizawa cuts him off, then turns to Atsuhiro. “You’re able to cloak yourself better than the others. You can avoid revealing yourself until the trap is set. Will you do it?”

“You’re going to do it.” Tomura’s voice rasps out again. “I know how you feel about this place. It’s not just for them. It’s for you, too.”

You nearly fall out of your chair. Tomura sounds like he cares. He told you before you left that he didn’t care about anyone but you and Phantom, and Touya’s conjurer has nothing to do with you. Why is he involving himself at all? Why is he coming up with what seems to be a pretty good plan, and why is he trying to convince Atsuhiro to buy in? Why does it look like it’s working?

Atsuhiro rises to his feet. “I’ll go,” he says. “If Spinner, Takami, and Bubaigawara accompany me.”

“Heard my name!” Jin pops out of nowhere, trailing all his younger siblings plus Eri. “What do you want?”

“You to come with us on a mission to off Dabi’s conjurer,” Spinner says without blinking. “You in?”

“I guess,” Jin says doubtfully. Then his mood switches. “Fuck yeah!”

“Jin!” Himiko and her mother both protest, but it’s way too late. Jin grabs Keigo’s arm, hauls him out of his chair, and tows him over to Spinner and Atsuhiro to start planning their hit.

Dabi’s not happy about the plan, and he’s pissed at Hizashi and Aizawa. “You’re protecting his human but not mine?”

“Your human volunteered,” Hizashi says. He looks sort of pissed that he can’t go. “Tough luck.”

“Are we done here?” Jin’s mom asks. Her youngest kid has climbed into her lap, and they’re already snoring. “It’s getting late.”

“We’re done,” Aizawa says, ignoring you when you protest that you’ve got one file left. “Thank you for coming out, everyone. We’ll update you as more information becomes available.”

The block party breaks up fairly quickly after that. You say goodnight to Magne, Spinner, Atsuhiro, the Bubaigawaras, and Keigo. You and Dabi spend an awkward few seconds staring at each other, trying to figure out if you owe each other a goodnight, before Dabi turns and slinks into Keigo’s house. The Aizawas are the last to leave, and as they’re leaving, you call out to them. “Aizawa, wait. I need to talk to you.”

Aizawa and Hizashi trade a glance. Hizashi continues up the street to their house with the kids while Aizawa limps back to you. “What is it?”

“The second conjurer,” you say. His expression darkens. “We can’t ignore him. He’s got at least three identities – maybe more – but he’s at least two hundred years old, which makes him –”

“Old enough to have summoned both Hizashi and Tomura,” Aizawa says. “He and Garaki almost certainly know each other. Either they’re working together to hunt embodied ghosts or one of them is using the other’s name. Killing Garaki could draw the other conjurer’s attention.”

“Then we shouldn’t do it.”

“It’s better to do it,” Tomura says. You glance over your shoulder and find him flickering in and out of view just past your front gate. “He needs to die. Far away from here.”

“Keep looking into the other conjurer,” Aizawa tells you. “Track his locations over the years, and I’ll compare them to my map of old haunts. The more we learn, the more prepared we’ll be when he becomes a factor.”

When, not if. Aizawa’s not buying everyone else’s assertion that dealing with Garaki will solve the problem, and neither are you. It makes you feel a little better, just like Mr. Yagi’s reminder that the world you’re part of is a dangerous one. You’d always rather know what to be scared of than be told there’s nothing to be scared of at all.

You promise Aizawa that you’ll update him on what you find, say goodnight, and make your way back into your yard through the gate, pointedly ignoring the holes in the fence. Tomura’s standing there, in the way, and when he doesn’t move, you walk straight through him, hoping the shock of cold will jolt you out of your mood. It doesn’t, not even when the cold spot clings to you, fitting like a second skin as you let Phantom tow you up the front steps and into the house. You shut and lock the door behind you before you ask the question. “Tomura, what are you doing?”

“I’m not warm when I’m materialized. You’re warm all the time. Why?”

“Because I’m human, and humans are warm-blooded. And I’m alive.” You don’t really know the science behind it. You majored in sociology, not biology. “What are you doing?”

He doesn’t answer. “You can’t get involved with what they’re doing. I won’t let you.”

“They won’t let me, either.” You wait until Tomura draws away, then sit down on the couch and drop the box of documents on the coffee table. Your brain takes a second to remind you what happened on this couch earlier this evening, but your mood’s so low that it barely makes an impact beyond a twitch of heat in your lower abdomen. “You’d better set them straight. The sooner they stop thinking I can control you, the better.”

You’re phrasing it in a way you know will get a rise out of him, hoping he’ll react, hoping he’ll let you know where you both stand. “The others are useless. They let their humans do the fighting for them,” Tomura says instead. “I don’t need their help. I can protect what’s mine all by myself.”

“Tomura.” You feel yourself getting frustrated for a whole list of reasons you won’t even begin to think about. “You’re not answering me.”

“You didn’t ask a question.”

You grit your teeth. “When are you going to tell them they’ve got it wrong about us?”

Tomura gives you that dumbest-person-ever look, which is the last thing you want to see right now. “They aren’t wrong,” he says. “I’m done protecting them the second anything happens to you. I said that already. Why are you confused?”

He’s not frustrated with you – yet. It won’t take much, and part of you wants to push the point, to shove this situation back into the tense, uneasy truce the two of you held for months. The rest of you is just tired. The kind of tired where if Tomura was a real person and not a ghost, you’d make him sit next to you and fall asleep on his shoulder. If he was your boyfriend and not your ghost roommate with dubious benefits. If there was any way he could feel for you the way you’re scared you’re starting to feel for him.

“I’m not,” you say. “Never mind.”

Part of you is hoping he’ll ask you another question, try to figure out what’s wrong, but you’re not that lucky. He lets it go, and you sit on the couch, staring into empty space and wondering why you feel like you just broke your own heart.

[sinnamonpork]

i've seen so many shouto and touya running away fics and gosh damn it really warms my heart. just them both making do on the streets, because a cold and tiny home is better than the previous life they had. they compromise and compromise and compromise even more bc both of them are essentially rich kids that are just... not used to this. touya is here turning his back from the more villainous jobs bc his baby brother is back home and he can't have anything putting them both in danger. shouto actually learning life skills because if his brother's not gonna let him work, he'd do everything he can to atleast help his obviously overworked sibling.

more thoughts of them adding toga, small and feral toga who got kicked out into the street, to the house they're calling home and suddenly their quiet nights are filled with excited chatters and curious questions. himiko toga who tried to shape shift one time and steal food for them bc the household doesn't really have a steady income and getting reprimanded of it instead of praised. she expects for them to kick her out but instead got a careful lecture from touya why she can't do that bc she. is. a. child. and she shouldn't need to worry about those things. the lecture was hard and confusing, but atleast the warmth of shouto's hug at her side keeps her grounded, knowing they won't let her go.

a few years later comes shinsou hitoshi, who touya found almost getting beat up behind an alley. even though he wasn't with them permanently, the home that they built provided a safe space for the kid whenever things got too much in the shelter. touya wants the kid to be with them full time but can't make the kffer knowing that 1. he can't take care of another kid full time and 2. the house just isn't big enough. shinsou still appreciates the care the small family has shown him and he wouldn't trade the soft pokes of himiko's weapon of the day(a spatula), the quiet discussions he has with shouto about their dreams of becoming a hero(to save ppl around them like how their nii-san showed them) or the food that touya makes once in a blue moon whenever he got the time between jobs.

(ok wow this is getting long)

anyways it all culminates when they all go to highschool and class 1-a is just confused because why their ice prince and introvert shouto clearly close with the trigger happy girl from support class and the aizawa knockoff from gen-ed. ppl not knowing they grew up together so all the sibling stuff doesn't get noticed right away. it becomes increasingly obvious though when the dorm system got enacted and shouto always has someone he's on a call with every night, without fail. the class can hear himiko's latest crush from his phone(to the absolute embarrassment of ochako when she realized her name keeps popping up) as another voice keeps teasing him about his failed provisional license. at the start of their 2nd year, the class finally meets one of the infamous siblings when the door to the classroom opened to a stranger and immediately put shouto in a headlock. just them w/ sibling dynamics plsss.

with all the kids busy w/ highschool, touya has found that he has more and more time to himself. this leads into him picking up more jobs and meeting a certain no. 2 hero in all of them. a kfc cashier? the bird is there to order three whole buckets every night. a hot topic salesman? the no. 2 hero suddenly needs eyeliner even when he already has natural ones from his quirk(unfair). the barista in a cat cafe? the press suddenly has pictures of hawks playing with cats even though he's famous for his allergies with them. just them meeting again and again and eventually trying things out. the first time they slept together, keigo wakes up to touya on a phone call with a clearly female voice, exasperation and fondness leaking out of him as he explains step by step how to cook an omelette into the phone. they get the talk that if they want to continue their relationship, he should know that he has three little leeches that he'd protect w/ his life. out of all the reactions touya expected to come out of him saying he's practically almost a single father of three, the blush and keigo practically stopping himself from hugging the life out of the man wasn't it. bc touya is basically the cold and edgy pretty boy with the adorable soft spot and heart of gold to anyone who he cares about and keigo is practically vibrating in happiness, and how did he managed to score this man??

their family of five (six? dunno if quirks are considered ppl) gets added once more, from a completely unexpected turn of events, when tokoyami fumikage starts interning with hawks and being immediately unofficially adopted. just him being so confused why two of his classmates are inside his mentor's apartment and watching a horror movie. he immediately latches into touya when the man came back from getting groceries with himiko, his fashion and hot topic vibe immediately earning him respect from fumi. the birb is just so confused when instead of doing intern things, he gets invited into the sofa and got fed more sweets and junk food than a whole year combined. he woke up to himiko sprawled on top of him on the couch as one of keigo's wings cover the 4 kids and the other shielding himself and touya from view.

(i want to add more but this is getting too long. might make a fic out of this? im still not sure)
