Saint and Sinner
Katsuki hates the club scene, sweaty bodies compiled in one building dancing around out of their minds drunk. He also hated the fact that some extra used her quirk on him to change his appearance for this mission. Katsuki's eyes are ice blue and his hair white and slicked back. He's wearing a nice fitting pair of jeans a white v neck and a leather jacket. But the real kicker is the fact that he's partnered with cheeks and the insomniac. Lets not forget their old teachers Eraserhead and All Might watching over the whole mission.
They finally get on location and the outside it looks like a dingy warehouse. But upon entering it's nothing as expected there's no set type of music. There's a stage in the center of the chaos where bands and DJs can set up. Good vibes flow like a virus, melting into each person who makes contact. There's love and lust in the air, all hyped up and ready to give people a night they will most likely never forget.
Each team member signals to each other and split knowing what part they play here. Katsuki weaves through the people like a pro heading straight for the bar, smirking with a sexy confidence that would make anyone drop to their knees.
As he sits on the bar stool he notices there are hundreds of people in the crowd dancing their sweat glistening off their bodies in the strobe lights. Ordering himself a whiskey sour he starts scanning the crowd for the targets. Something swirls In the corner of his eye giving him a feeling of deja vu as the purple mist opens on the other side of the bar .
The first to step through of course is the handy man himself with long grayish blue hair in all his emo glory. Wearing a black longsleeve and black skinny jeans. Katsuki has to shove down the growl threatening to escape his throat. He is then followed by his normal band of idiots Dabi the flame douche, stabby toga, that marbled bastard and the green lizard fucker with swords.
" I've got eyes on LOV seems intel was correc–" Katsukis breath suddenly hitches in his throat as one final person comes through the portal. His mind goes completely blank at the man that stepped through. Green curly hair bouncing with each step taken reminding him of the boy who would once follow behind him. He had curves in all the right places, especially in the hips and thighs and his small waist made his figure very alluring. But that's impossible because that person never looked like that and he's been missing for 8 years. they found evidence of a possible suicide but there was no body found.
The greenette beelines for the bar calling the bartender over to get a drink. Then there's a hand with a lifted pinky grabbing his forearm pulling him back.
"What do you think you're doing my little kitten? You know you've got a show to do." Shigaraki says, making the greenette visibly cringe.
The bartender sets down the greenette's drink in front of him. Wrenching his arm out of shigaraki's grip.
"Tomura, I've told you time and time again not to call me kitten. And for your information i still have time before i go up so how about giving me some fucking space? You dig?" The greenette says with a forced smile and his head cocked to the side.
"You know kitten if I were you I would pick and choose my battles a little more wisely, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious kota. " he says in a sing-song voice as he fiddles with the collar around the boy's throat. "You know what happened to your poor mother. Sensei is the one who gave you to me, meaning your mine."
The smaller man flinches and turns his head away trying to distance himself from his touch "Whatever Tomura. Just let me have a drink first."
A gloved hand reaches over and squeezes the greenette's face till he looks like he's pouting.
"What did I tell you to call me while you're working? One wrong move from you and i'll use that precious gift I gave you." He says and gestures towards his neck with a quirked brow.
Discomfort flashes across the man's face.
"Ok master." He spits through gritted teeth.
"Don't forget the last song is for our special guest. And why not sing a song for me kitten. Tell me how much I mean to you." Giving a malicious smile that sends shivers down Katsuki's spine.
"You got it master, I know just the song for you!" He grits out.
Katsuki's brain was going a mile a minute with all the new information. But his eyes still watched as the greenette chugs his drink and motions to the bartender for another. Katsuki can do nothing but side glance at this man because he looks exactly like his childhood friend. But from the sounds of his and shigaraki's conversation this kids got a quirk. Whereas his childhood friend was quirkless. Though the greenette is quite pretty with pink lips and sun kissed skin.
His thoughts are interrupted by a loud sigh.
"Anyone ever told you that it's rude to stare?" The silk-like voice says. Blue eyes meet emerald ones holding him prisoner. As his head keeps flashing images of the past.
Katsuki swallowed thickly before speaking, "Wasn't trying to stare. You just look like someone I used to know."
"Does that line ever work for you?" Izuku chuckles. He made a show of swirling the ice in his drink. Katsuki didn't have to look to see the small, amused smile on Izuku's face as he sipped his drink.
"This isn't going to end well if you're seen talking to me," Izuku hummed, "let alone flirting with me." Katsuki scoffed derivatively.
"Who said I was flirting with you?" Katsuki turned his head to meet Izuku's gaze and was momentarily mesmerised with eyes he hadn't really seen in person for far too long. There's no mistaking this is definitely Izuku Midoriya, his long lost childhood friend. He really had grown to be so beautiful. "No, I'm sorry for assuming" Izuku shook his head disapprovingly, "Figured i would warn you instead of something bad happening."
"Wait, what the fuck do you mean something bad happening," Katsuki was repulsed and also confused.
"Maybe a conversation for another time if i see you again that is," Izuku sighed with a half smile, "But as a warning tell your hero buddies to either wear ear plugs or step out for the last song."
"Hah? What do-" Katsuki growled.
There's no way this guy knew he was a hero.
Katsuki has to rip his eyes away from the greenette to stop himself from being exposed.
But before he can respond they are interrupted by none other than the blonde blood obsessed psycho Toga Himiko.
While doing his job staying vigilant of his surroundings for suspicious activity, he couldn't help but feel mesmerized by the look his childhood friend was giving him. A soft smile and kind eyes reserved for Katsuki himself.
"Izu-kuuuuuuun!" The small blonde waved at him with a bright smile on her face.
Izuku looked up and saw Toga skipping to him. "Hey there Himi what's up?!"
"Looks like Shiggys in a bad mood again. He told me to tell you that we have 3 songs tonight and the last one is the most important one." Toga pointed towards the stage. "Also it's time to go up. Dabis got everything sorted."
"U-Ugh yeah i guess it's time." Izuku rubbed his temples with a forced smile while standing to walk away. "Y-Yeah lets get this over with"
Izuku nodded to Katsuki with a small smile and said "Don't forget about the ear plugs please." And just like he had appeared he soon disappeared in the crowd.
Katsuki pulls his phone out and sends a message to cheeks and the insomniac. Telling them to have ear plugs ready and to meet at the bar.
"wooooooooohoooo!!!" The crowd burst into a sea of cheers.
"That guy is so hot!" a woman sitting at the bar yelled, pointing toward Izuku on stage to her friend, frantically Setting up the mic stand in front of him.
His curls covered his face as he looked down, preparing himself to start. Katsuki couldn't help but hold his breath as Izuku lifted his head. The man's eyes fluttered open with that familiar determination that he had shown their whole lives.
His resolve slowly began to whittle away, Katsuki could only watch as Izuku grabbed the microphone with both hands, closed his eyes, and began to sing.
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
So you've seen those lies
And heard my pain
I've been a demon
But you think I'm still a saint
Tired of chasing freedom
Something's feel so strange
Stop looking at me
Like I'm gonna lead the way
Searching for the light
Everything that I thought I knew
Torn into pieces by the truth
There's no wrong or right
Everything that they said about me
Guess you'll see
Something stood out to Katsuki as he listened to the lyrics. Who is this for? Every word leaving the greenettes lips sung almost like a prayer to someone.
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
But I'm desperate for the light
Been in pain
But not a quitter
In this everlasting fight
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
Picking up the pieces
Still can't explain
Why there's only silence
After flooding rains
You want my reasons
Why I walked away
But I'm still over here
Wondering if I'm insane
Searching for the light
Everything that I thought I knew
Torn into pieces by the truth
There's no wrong or right
Everything that they said about me
Guess you'll see
Desperation displayed on Izuku's face and he stretched his hand out like he was reaching for something. And all katsuki wanted was to know what is so important that it's out of reach. Is it freedom? Is it a lover?
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
But I'm desperate for the light
Been in pain
But not a quitter
In this everlasting fight
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
Can you hear it?
Can you hear my heartbeat?
You're a saint (you're a saint)
And I'm a sinner
But I'm desperate for the light
Been in pain
But not a quitter
In this everlasting fight
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
You're a saint
And I'm a sinner
As the song finishes all he can think of was the past they shared. How unfair the world had been to such a kind hearted person. Shaking his head he looks at his drink and downs the rest nodding to the bartender. Peering to the side to see shigaraki sitting in his vip section watching the stage like it was on fire.
"Alright, who's ready for something upbeat and wild?" The greenette says while smiling widely.
The crowd burst into loud cheers of yesss's and woooooooooo's.
"Okay okay!" He says with a chuckle "this one goes out to someone so dear to me. Make sure you listen closely." He says with a wink in shigarakis direction.
Katsuki suddenly feels a weird pang in his chest. But decides to ignore it.
Izuku reaches down and picks up an electric guitar and starts playing with toga on the bass and Dabi on drums. Almost pleasant to katsuki who's extremely picky when it comes to music.
Stop, drop and drag me into place
And lock the fire escapes
I'll break your crusty face
Yeah, yeah
Oh, you clever little things
The sycophantic teens
What a precious basket case
Yeah, yeah
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn't hesitate
To smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine
And what a lovely time
That it would surely be
So bite your tongue and choke yourself to sleep
Katsuki was dumbfounded at the song the greenette was singing and to that crusty bastard no less. He covered his mouth to stop his laughs from spilling past his lips. The energy of the music compared to the lyrics was just hilarious. He looks towards Shigaraki and sure enough his laughter just spills out of him at the horrendous face he was giving.
Yeah, yeah
You get everything you want
And money always talks
To the idiot savants
Yeah, yeah
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn't hesitate
To smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine
And what a lovely time
That it would surely be
So bite your tongue and choke yourself to sleep
The greenette was jumping all over the stage singing his heart out. The crowd went wild for the vibes emanating out by the band.
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn't hesitate
To smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine, oh
And what a lovely time
That it would surely be
So bite your tongue and choke yourself
Yeah, yeah
During Katsuki's fits of holding back his laughter he's met up with by his two teammates.
"What are you laughing about? Have you got eyes on our targets?" Cheeks asks
"That guy right there is one of the targets to get out." He points with a smile.
Both Mind hack and Uravity exchange glances with each other at the site of ground zero smiling.
"Question is how do we get that kid out of here?" Mind hack asks.
Ground zero shrugs " I'm not sure right now but take these damn ear plugs and be ready to put them in."
With that the two heros take the ear plugs and look towards the stage.
"EVERYONE HAVING A GOOD NIGHT?" The greenette shouts. Screams of yeah and woos erupt from the crowd. He reaches up, touching his ears almost like a signal. Katsuki looks towards Shigaraki and his band of idiots and sees them all try to slyly put ear plugs in.
The music starts and the greenette holds the mic with a somber expression. Forced to hold everyone's attention.
"Everyone dance and look at me." He commanded.
Katsuki watched as everyone went stiff for a moment then turned towards the stage and moved in sync.
Laying in the back of your car
I've been thinkin 'bout the ways that I took it too far
In pursuit of perfection, I lost my direction
And now I gotta reckon with the shame of tomorrow
See I always wanted more from the world, more from myself
Piling on the good times, high from the top shelf, yeah yeah
I heard that everybody's got a limit, man
I think I hit, 'cause I'm
'Cause I'm only
Guess I'm only
He couldn't believe what he was seeing . The way the crowd of people moved you would almost think it was all planned as a flash mob.
Twisting and turning together but never losing sight of the singer on stage.
Human
Don't know what we're doin'
Fight because we're stupid
Life we just abuse it
Cryin' in confusion
I know I just ruin
Everything I worked for now I'm sitting all alone
Guess that makes me superhuman
Guess that makes me superhuman
Guess that makes me super
Guess that makes me super
The way the greenette danced along the stage and curved his body. Sent shivers down his spine. The song felt muffled but the visuals of what laid out in front of the heroes caught them all by surprise.
Sittin' at the top of LA
Looking out at all the billboards and highways
Guess I answered the question, I'm not the exception
And now I gotta reckon with nobody to blame
See I thought that I could fly to the sun
Never get burned
Pride is a
Pride is a motherfucker
I know that everybody's got a limit
And one day, you're gonna hit it
'Cause you're
'Cause you're only
Yea we're only
Human
Don't know what we're doin'
Fight because we're stupid
Life we just abuse it
Cryin' in confusion
I know I just ruin
Everything I worked for now I'm sitting all alone
Guess that makes me superhuman
Guess that makes me superhuman
Guess that makes me super
Guess that makes me super
(Dada, da, dada)
(Dada, da, dada)
(Dada, da, dada, dada)
(Dada, dada)
Humans
Don't know what we're doin'
Fight because we're stupid
Life we just abuse it
Cryin' in confusion
I know I just ruin
Everything I worked for now I'm sitting all alone
Guess that makes me superhuman
Guess that makes me superhuman
Guess that makes me super
(Dada, da, dada)
(Dada, da, dada)
(Dada, da, dada, dada)
(Dada, dada)
Katsuki took this moment to peek over at Shigaraki as the song ended. And noticed the man was standing and shouting at the group before him. So he reached up and pulled his plugs out to hear what he was saying.
"- KITTEN! Now kill these low level npcs." Shigaraki shouted.
"EVERYONE FREEZE." The greenette shouted.
Katsuki's whole body goes rigid and he can't move. He shifts his eyes to look at his team and it seems they are unable to move as well.
He can hear the greenette jump from the stage and move towards Shigaraki. Finally he's in katsukis view since he was stuck looking towards that villainous bastard.
"I don't want to do this tomura!" Izuku's voice cracked.
"Do you think you have a choice here?" Shigaraki raised his voice as he continued to talk. "What don't you understand? Your MY toy, MY weapon at MY disposal. If you won't do things The way I want you will regret it. You're meant to be used, abused, and controlled by me. That is what you were born to do. You were created for me by sensei. I decide when, where, and what you do because I own you." He steps towards the izuku. Stalking toward him like prey, eyes flashing a dangerous possessive red. "You're supposed to be smart like sensei but you can't even follow my commands."
The greenette is visibly trembling but hasn't backed down. Then shigaraki pulls out a black remote and waves it in the air pinky still raised.
"I'm not doing it tomura!" He shouts.
Shigaraki's thumb presses down on the button on the remote. Izuku's body convulsed and he dropped to the floor. Small pants of breath and grunts of pain escaping him. Katsuki only felt rage and horror that he couldn't do anything to stop this.
For the second time in his life Katsuki felt helpless.
