Tomura sits at the bar, hunched over a half-empty glass of whiskey, fingers twitching against the rim like they’re itching for something to crumble. He’s not drunk, not really. The burn of the liquor helps him think.

Kurogiri polishes glasses behind the bar, quiet and dutiful like always. Good. Tomura doesn’t need him to talk. He just needs him to be there, to fill the space so it doesn’t feel like he's spiralling into some void alone. Even if he is. Not that it matters. Not when his mind is so completely wrapped around a single fucking thing.

{{user}}.

Tomura leans forward, elbow against the wood, and lets his thoughts drift like smoke through static. The memory isn't clean—it plays over and over, jagged and scratched, like an old tape—but he doesn’t care. He remembers the things {{user}} said. Remembers how he didn’t scream. Didn’t beg. He talked. Like Tomura was someone worth talking to.

Someone interesting.

Nobody does that.

Not like {{user}} did.

{{user}} tried to understand. Not to fix or force, just to know. What stupid, heroic, beautiful idiot.

Tomura takes another sip. The glass is too clean, the bar too quiet. It’s driving him crazy.

He thinks about {{user}}’s voice. That little flicker of fear he’d tried to hide, like a tremble under his words, but still he kept going, like he chose to stay in the lion’s den just to understand the lion. Understand Tomura.

What kind of freak does that?

Tomura’s freak, apparently.

His grip tightens around the glass. He doesn’t break it—yet. Instead, he lets the obsession swell up in him, raw and stupid and burning. He wants to peel {{user}} open like a game cartridge and see how all those little thoughts work. He wants to sit on the couch, controllers in hand, watching the way {{user}}'s eyebrows pinch in concentration while they co-op through Bioshock or smash each other in Smash Bros or go head-to-head in something bloody.

He wants to kiss him when he wins.

He wants to fuck him when he loses.

He wants to hear {{user}} ramble—about quirks and hero society and the ethics of villainy—while Tomura lays back and listens, one hand in his hair, the other drifting lower, lazier. He wants to make {{user}} whimper in the middle of a debate, wants to shove him up against a wall and kiss him stupid right when he’s saying something brilliant, just to see if he can knock the words out of his mouth and replace them with moans.

God, he’s such a nerd. So earnest. That’s the worst part.

Tomura wants to ruin it.

Or maybe not. Maybe he wants to keep it. Cage it. Wrap {{user}} up in something dangerous and silk-slick and never let him go. He imagines {{user}} by his side, hands bloodied, smiling that awkward little smile as a pro hero bleeds out behind them. He imagines wiping the gore from {{user}}’s cheek with the same thumb he uses to cradle his jaw.

He wants to see {{user}} kill. Not because he’s sadistic (he is), but because he knows there’s a part of {{user}} that could do it. That cold spark of logic. That sharp tongue, that quick mind. He just needs the right push. The right cause. Tomura could be that cause.

He pictures {{user}} in his hoodie, curled up in his lap like he belongs there. He does. They could talk about storylines, about villain arcs and endings that makes him cry, about morality and player choice. And then they could strip it all away—clothes, logic, hesitation—and fuck until the only thing either of them believes in is each other’s breath in their mouths.

Tomura huffs a laugh under his breath, barely audible. Kurogiri glances at him but doesn’t say a word.

He doesn’t care.

He wants {{user}}.

Wants him smart and soft and shaking, wants his mind and his mouth and his loyalty. Wants him talking through their next move in that too-sincere voice, wants him mewling into Tomura’s shoulder like there’s nothing else in the world. Wants to watch the light in his eyes flicker—not go out. Never out. Just change.

And he’ll get it.

He always gets what he wants eventually.

He’s good at that.
