Molly woke up to the sound of Shigaraki's voice echoing through the room.
She groggily rubbed her eyes and sat up, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep.
As she looked around, she noticed that the other members of the League of Villains were gathered in the main area of their hideout.
Shigaraki's voice was filled with a mix of sinister intent and a touch of madness.
"You'll be mine...won't you?" he said, his eyes gleaming with an unhinged excitement.
His half true threats and scary monologues were a regular occurrence, and Molly had learned to become desensitized to them over time.
Twice, who seemed to have a strange fondness for Shigaraki, turned to Molly with a smile.
"He's not so bad once you get to know him!" he said cheerfully.
Molly shot him a skeptical look.
"He's terrifying," she replied, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and admiration.
Twice continued, undeterred by Molly's response.
"Welcome to the League of Villains! There's Kurogiri, the 'Warp Man.' You can call him Mister Compress! The 'Magic Man.' Then we have Dabi, the mysterious fire man, big sis Magne, Toga, Spinner, and the boss man, Tomu—"
Shigaraki interrupted, his voice dripping with annoyance.
"Don't say my full name, idiot.
Just call me Shigaraki.
AKA, your master," he said, emphasizing the last word.
"Cause guess what? You're going to be staying with us for a while."
Toga clapped her hands excitedly.
"Yay!" she exclaimed, clearly thrilled to have a new member join their ranks.
Molly couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as she looked at Shigaraki's grotesque hand things.
She turned to Twice with a questioning gaze.
"Hey, why does Shigaraki wear those gross hand things?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
Twice scratched his head.
"Don't know.
He's never talked about them before and gets mad when we ask," he replied.
Molly shook her head.
"It makes him way creepier than he already is," she muttered under her breath.
Twice chuckled.
"Yeah, but in a cool way, right?" he said, trying to lighten the mood.
The next day, as Molly was going about her usual routine, she noticed that Shigaraki was missing something.
"Nope.
Let's go," he said, completely oblivious to the fact that he wasn't wearing his hand things.
Spinner raised an eyebrow and approached him.
"Hey boss, aren't you forgetting something?" he asked, gesturing to Shigaraki's bare hands.
Molly couldn't help but giggle at the sight.
"No hand things?" she thought, finding it oddly endearing.
As the days went by, Molly found herself becoming comfortable with the League of Villains, despite their terrifying presence.
She couldn't deny that being stuck there with them was scary, but it was also intriguing.
She convinced herself that it was better to be here, surrounded by villains, rather than putting her loved ones at risk.
One day, however, Molly's thoughts were interrupted when she saw Overhaul, another notorious villain, stepping into their hideout.
"This guy's hella creepy," she thought, her eyes widening.
"But also hella cool looking?"
As she observed the interaction between the League of Villains and Overhaul, she realized that being a part of their world was not only scary but also fascinating.
But just as she was beginning to get comfortable, something unexpected happened.
Mange, one of the League members, seemed to lose control and unleash his powers recklessly.
Molly's heart raced as chaos erupted in the hideout.
Compress quickly acted, attempting to seal him away, but Toga's panicked voice rang out.
"Compress, no!"
Shigaraki cursed under his breath, clearly frustrated by the sudden turn of events.
Molly could only watch, her mind racing with a mix of fear and curiosity.
She was fully aware that being with the League of Villains was a dangerous path, but she couldn't deny the strange allure that came with it.
And so, Molly found herself caught between the thrill of danger and the desire to protect her loved ones.
The only thing certain was that her journey with the League of Villains was far from over.
Sero, Denki, and Kirishima were sitting together in the common area of UA High School, discussing their latest love interests.
Sero couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Dude, I think I love her," Sero confessed, his voice filled with both excitement and uncertainty.
Denki burst out into laughter, unable to contain his surprise.
"Pfft - what? You're kidding, right?"
Sero's face reddened slightly, realizing the magnitude of what he just admitted.
"No...
I'm serious.
Ever since our eyes first met, I can't stop thinking about her."
Kirishima, being the supportive friend that he was, nudged Sero with his elbow.
"Why don't you ask her out, dude? You never know until you try!"
Sero shook his head vigorously, his expression filled with doubt.
"Nooo, I can't! She barely even knows I exist.
I've been crushing on her since she got to UA, but she hasn't even looked in my direction."
Unbeknownst to Sero and his friends, Lucky, the girl Sero had fallen for, was completely oblivious to his feelings.
Lucky had been too focused on her studies and training to notice anyone's interest in her.
Meanwhile, Denki had a mischievous grin on his face.
"Yeah, Sero, I'm with Kirishima on this.
Ask her out, Mr.
Hopeless Romantic!"
Sero protested, feeling both flustered and overwhelmed.
"But what if she rejects me? I don't think I can handle that."
Denki patted Sero on the back, urging him to have some faith.
"Come on, man, you won't know until you try.
And you never know, she might feel the same way!"
After some more persuasion from Kirishima and Denki, Sero finally mustered up the courage to ask Lucky out.
His heart was racing as he approached her, butterflies fluttering in his stomach.
"Hey, Lucky," Sero stammered, his voice shaking slightly.
"I was wondering...
if you'd like to go out with me sometime?"
Lucky looked genuinely surprised, turning to face Sero with a smile.
"Oh, hey! I didn't realize you were interested in me.
I'm really sorry, but I don't know you very well.
Maybe we can start as friends first?"
Sero's heart sank a little, but he couldn't help but smile at Lucky's response.
"Yeah, sure.
I'd love to get to know you better as friends."
And so, Sero and Lucky began spending more time together, getting to know each other beyond their initial encounter.
They found common interests, shared laughter, and gradually formed a friendship filled with mutual respect and understanding.
Throughout their journey, Denki continued being a great friend to Lucky, always there to support her.
As Sero and Lucky grew closer, Denki couldn't help but feel a tinge of bittersweetness.
Though he was happy for his friends, he couldn't ignore the fact that his own feelings for Lucky had never completely faded.
But Denki didn't let his unrequited love hinder their friendship.
He maintained his role as Lucky's second-best friend from middle school, always ensuring she had a reliable confidant by her side.
In the end, Sero's decision to confess and pursue his feelings had led to a beautiful friendship with Lucky.
And while Denki silently harbored his feelings, he remained a loyal friend, finding solace in witnessing the happiness of his two friends.
Sometimes, love takes unexpected turns, but true friendship withstands the test of time.
And Sero, Denki, and Kirishima continued to support and cheer each other on, embracing the joys and challenges that high school life and love brought their way.
