#and i know kurogiri probably couldn't think before the present mic thing or whatever

❛ don’t worry, i’ve got your back! ❜ for the Lov? ^-^

"It's for you, me and all of us." He'd said with a soft smile.

That sentence felt like the beginning of something that shattered whatever walls they held up against each other.

It was about trust. Between each other, for their goals, for their own dreams to become reality.

Tomura always had this genuine expression of himself. That everything he said to the group, he meant. The feeling that they were worthy to him, and there was support in those words he uttered.

It wasn't just for the purposes of making sure their plans were successful, that they stayed together just to hit society harder than they hit them. Sometimes, it felt like more; a sort of genuine connection that kept them together, because the world was cruel to them and if it wasn't for that mistreatment, they wouldn't have found each other, and if it wasn't for finding each other, there was no way hero society would have fallen like it did.

And things wouldn't have happened the way they had.

And Tomura wouldn't have been taken away from them.

And the group wouldn't have crumbled the way they did. The way it felt like it did.

Now the League tell themselves it's not worth thinking about. I came here for my dreams, is the thought at the forefront of their minds.

I want a world where I can be free.

I want my father to look at me.

I want to carry on my great great grandfather's legacy.

I want my friends to be happy, is left unsaid in a missed gap in the group.

Near the opening of a cave, unwilling to look back at the monster on his throne no doubt smiling behind his mask, unwilling to look back at the editor who only wants Re-Destro's dream to become reality (even he has his own goals, doesn't he?), only willing to take a break from the screams of a friend he can't help, a lizard mutant is one of the only ones to admit, "I want Shigaraki back."

And in a room down the research ward, at the most efficient hospital in the city, a Noumu manages to think the only thought he's been able to repeat since his stay, "I want Shigaraki Tomura to be safe."

In the distraction of the situation, the imminent second war upon them, it's still present in the back of the League's minds; the smile he'd shown to them back then.

It's easy to keep the tunnel-vision they had from before they all met. It's what keeps most of them grounded. It's harder to not wish there was a certain someone guiding them along, even now, even towards their finish lines.

Would it be so bad to receive those words again? Would it be so stupid, in light of everything, to have that reassurance of succeeding?

And a simple smile that said "Don't worry, I've got your back."?
