The hideout of the League was quiet.
Dust floated lazily through the air.
The old couch creaked as Tomura Shigaraki leaned back, scratching at his neck.
Across from him, Dabi sat with his feet on the table, staring at the ceiling.
And nearby, the misty form of Kurogiri calmly adjusted a glass on the counter.
The room had fallen into a weird silence.
Finally Dabi spoke.
"…So."
"…That kid just appeared here."
Shigaraki nodded slowly.
"Yeah."
"And then disappeared."
"Yeah."
Dabi rubbed his face.
"…Great."
Kurogiri spoke calmly.
"His spatial distortion appeared unstable. It seems he cannot control the ability yet."
Shigaraki smirked.
"That makes it more interesting."
The old door suddenly creaked open.
Light footsteps echoed inside.
A familiar voice hummed happily.
"La la la la…"
A girl stepped inside with messy cream-blonde hair tied in small buns.
Her golden eyes sparkled with excitement.
Himiko Toga skipped into the room.
"Hi guyyyyys!"
She spun once happily before stopping in front of them.
"I went out for a walk!"
Dabi glanced at her lazily.
"Cool."
Toga tilted her head.
"Why do you all look weird?"
Shigaraki scratched his neck again.
"…You just missed something."
Her eyes lit up instantly.
"Oooooo what?!"
Dabi pointed to the empty air in front of the couch.
"That UA kid you like?"
Toga froze.
"…Ren?"
Shigaraki nodded.
"Yeah."
"…He just teleported into our living room."
Silence.
Toga's brain took a second to process it.
Then—
Her eyes widened.
"WAIT WHAT?!"
She grabbed Shigaraki by the shoulders and shook him violently.
"REN WAS HERE?!"
Dabi snorted.
"For like five seconds."
Kurogiri nodded politely.
"He appeared briefly before vanishing again."
Toga slowly dropped to her knees in dramatic despair.
"…I missed him…"
She covered her face.
"…The universe hates me."
Then she suddenly sat up again.
"But he TELEPORTED?!"
Her grin slowly returned.
"Ren keeps getting cooler."
She hugged herself happily.
"I love him."
Dabi sighed.
"You say that about a lot of people."
Toga waved her hand.
"Not like THIS!"
Shigaraki watched her thoughtfully.
"…He'll show up again."
Toga tilted her head.
"What do you mean?"
Shigaraki smirked.
"If he can rip space open like that…"
"…distance probably doesn't matter."
Toga's smile slowly grew wider.
"Oh."
She clasped her hands together.
"…Then maybe next time…"
"…he'll teleport to me."
UA Dorms – Early Morning
Soft sunlight slipped through the window.
The dorm room was peaceful.
Completely quiet.
On his bed, Ren slept like a rock.
Blanket tangled.
Hair messy.
Face buried halfway in his pillow.
After teleporting all over the country the night before…
His body had finally crashed.
Across the room, the window was slightly open.
A gentle breeze moved the curtain.
And sitting quietly on the outside ledge…
A small sticky note fluttered in the wind.
Written in messy handwriting with little hearts over the i's.
It read:
"Good morning Renny-Penny ❤️Sleep well."
Ren slept peacefully.
Completely unaware.
That someone had been watching him again.
