Paint It Black

He kept his hands tucked into the sleeves of his jacket.

"Tomura," Kagome growled beneath her breath. "Explain yourself! You could've just come by the shrine. Why did you do this?!" She gestured around herself wildly.

He knew what she was getting at.

It would've been much simpler to go back to the shrine and convince her to leave U.A. over time. A few more interludes like the one they had before and she'd have been as good as his.

Not that she wasn't already.

"I needed to make a statement." He kept his tone calm as he spoke. "I want to make cracks in the super human world." Shigaraki withdrew his hand and splayed his palm for her to take. "You were the one who said that I needed to aim higher. Publicly taking you from the heroes would hit them harder than if you simply walked away quietly."

Her lips pressed into a thin line at that.

"They're still my friends Tomura. I never wanted to see any of them get hurt." Azure eyes shifted to the ground beneath her feet. "Even if I understand your goals and why you did things the way you did, I can't just sit by and watch that."

Ah, yes, that was right.

Kagome bore a much softer nature than most. It was that kindness that made her both vulnerable and infallible.

A weakness and a strength forged into one.

He closed the distance between them.

Shigaraki trailed the pad of his thumb along the space beneath her eye carefully.

"You refused me the first time because of those feelings of loyalty to your friends." Scarlet eyes narrowed at the thought. He did not want a repeat of before. More than anything he would convince her. "Yet now here we are. The heroes already believe that you've been brainwashed into joining out group. If you go back now then you'll be chained down again. You'll lose all your freedoms and observed as if you're a villain."

He had to push her a little bit farther. He had to make her see that he was the only real choice she had left.

"You can be more than just a failed hero," He curled one arm around her waist and pulled her into him. He felt her hands splay across his chest intimately. Just a little more. "Stand with me and you won't ever have to subject yourself to their scorn again."

It was her one true weakness.

Her desire to simply live a life not bound by her father's legacy of death. As a hero she'd always face the vitriol meant to be aimed at him. Yet as a villain she would be nearly untouchable.

Kagome fell silent for a moment.

"I don't want to hurt people," She pressed her forehead against his collarbone. "Joining the League would mean that I'd have to be the same as him. I can't…"

Her voice trailed off.

Shigaraki forced her chin up. He slanted his mouth over hers briefly before pulling back.

"You won't. Your position was always going to be back up—support." His lips curled into a smirk. "We still need a healer in our party you know."

That got a tiny laugh to spill from her lips.

"There you go with those gaming references," She sucked a shuddering breath through her nose. "I'm not making any promises but if you say that I won't be in a position to harm others then I'll at least consider it."

His smirk grew wider, "I knew you'd come around."

He curled both arms around her waist as he pulled her in close.

"Let's set the stage for round two."

Her face flushed as she laughed—catching his secondary meaning.

After tonight she would officially be his.

He'd make sure both she and the heroes understood that fact.

Shigaraki pulled at the hem of her shirt.

That was his only goal—to paint that picturesque vision of happiness black and to shatter the false sense of security people had.

That was his only purpose now and she would help him.
