Tenko staggered into Izuku's room and flicked on the light. His eyes scanned the room for anything out of place because of his own paranoia when he saw the cake sitting on the dresser. It was a round chocolate peanut butter cake with four layers. It had peanut butter between the layers of cake. It had peanut butter icing on the top with melted peanut butter drizzled on top and down the sides with chocolate syrup. It had peanut butter cups on the top in a circle then a peanut butter cup heart in the middle.

He walked forward to see a little blue sticky note beside of it. Tenko picked it up and saw the hero's hand writing.

Tenko,

Made you a cake. Hope you have a great day and night

see you in the morning.

-Izuku-

He really didn't know what to do about the cake. It wasn't like it would taste bad or anything.... Tenko couldn't believe how nice the cake looked. It was like he took extra time to make it pretty and very nice. It had a professional look to it and he knew he stayed awake to make it.... it had to take forever from the way it looked.

I think.... I think I like him. Oh no.

The next morning Izuku came home. He kicked his shoes off at the door and started pulling his socks off then his hero costume. He went to the bathroom, showered quickly. He just decided to use the clothes he had worn to work yesterday instead of waking Tomura up. He headed into the kitchen to make them breakfast for once. He managed to get out by six this time.

He was pretty grateful since it didn't happen often. Now he had a reason to come home and want to be there. Even being lonely and depressed, he wouldn't call Ochako, Shouto or Tenya. He wasn't their problem.

Izuku decided on making hash browns, french toast, eggs and bacon. He had everything started when a warp appeared in his kitchen. Dabi walked through covered in blood and dirt. He looked worn out and tired. The hero nearly dropped his spatula upon seeing him.

"Dabi! What happened!?"

Dabi fell onto the floor to his knees holding his head. His clothes looked slightly burnt.

"Who did this to you?!"

He looked up at him.

"Bakugou.... He didn't see me when he blasted through the walls. They found out our new hiding place."

The color drained from his face.

"What-

"That's why we moved. We have made sure not to leave any trace behind but I guess they figured out where we were."

"Where's Kurogiri?!"

"Right here."

He appeared holding a first aid kit in his hands.

"Should he get a bath first?" Izuku asked looking worried.

"He needs burn ointment instead. Possibly stitches too."

Izuku finished what little had on the stove and sat everything to the side. He helped pull his shirt off seeing all the gashes he had. Deku cringed but this is what his friends probably did seeing him put himself in danger constantly. Izuku ran to the bathroom for a wash rag and a couple towels. He made a bowl of hot soapy water and one with plain hot water.

"You sure you don't want to go to a hospital?" the hero asked.

"I can't dumbass."

A smile appeared on Izuku's lips.

"What can I do to help?" he asked.

"Wake Himiko and see if she has any blood pertaining to a healing quirk. She'll probably be naked but push past that," Kurogiri said, "She walks like that when you aren't here."

His face heated up bright red.

"O-ok."

Sure enough, she was naked AND spread eagle. He covered his face. He had been with women before but she was taken and a friend. It was like seeing Ochako naked that one time when she thought everyone left for holiday in UA.

"Himiko!"

She sat up.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Dabi is really hurt. You have any healer quirk blood to help Kurogiri out?"

She yawned, "Let me get it. Be out in a moment."

Jin didn't even move. Izuku rushed out of there still pink in the face.

"She's coming."

"Alright, thank you. You can keep cooking. We have it here."

Deku stared at Dabi. He looked like he was on the verge of passing out.

"We can lay him on the table if you'd like," Izuku said.

"Are you sure?" the warp man asked.

"I can get a couple more towels and I can bleach it later."

Izuku helped him onto the table. He pulled off his shoes and socks. It looked like Dabi's pants were slightly melted.

"Let me get the scissors."

"Why the fuck would you need those?" Dabi asked hoarsely.

"Your pants look melted. It might be melted to your skin."

The villain said nothing and closed his eyes.

"Dabi! My poor Dabi!"

Himiko came running with a silver pouch in her hand.

"I'll be fine. Doctor Kurogiri and Nurse Izuku will make it better."

The hero's face turned pink again but he nodded anyways.

Izuku ended up cooking the rest of the food ten minutes later, helping when needed. Once he finished, he headed back to his room and saw Tomura was asleep this time.... with pants on. He smiled as he closed the door behind him. He gently shook Tenko's shoulder.

"Hey."

His eyes flew open. His eyes were a bright red. Tenko rolled over facing the wall which was odd. Izuku looked over at the dresser seeing the cake was untouched.

"You gotta get up-

"Why'd you make me that cake?"

"Because. We can talk later if you want but Dabi is hurt badly."

Tenko rolled back over.

"He's hurt?"

Izuku nodded. Tomura got up and followed his hero lover into the kitchen to see Dabi laying on the table.

"What the fuck happened?" he yelled.

"I went back to the base."

"What why? What the fuck did you leave there?"

Dabi stayed quiet.

"What did you get?! Was it worth the risk?!" Tomura snapped.

"It was a picture."

"Just a picture?" Izuku asked looking lost.

"It was really a small photo album."

"Oh."

A weird look overcame Tenko's face.

"Sorry. We should've relooked before coming back home."

Dabi closed his eyes.

"It's ok."

"Was it family pictures?" Izuku asked.

Dabi nodded. I managed to keep it safe though."

He sat up and reached around on the cut pants to pull out a gray plastic album. It looked really cheap but it was well taken care of.

"We all have secrets but I suppose I wouldn't mind you knowing mine. They already know though."

Izuku took once Dabi held it out to him.

He flipped it open and felt his heart freeze. It was a red headed boy with blue eyes.... and Shouto as a child. The hero stared unable to move. Shouto had told him that his older boy had disappeared after a big fight and his father was to blame for it.

"You.... you're Shouto's big brother?"

Dabi nodded slowly.

Izuku flipped through the next few pages filled with family photos of the Todoroki family. Then the last six pictures were of them from the League of Villains. He had never felt his heart hurt more in his whole life until right now. Dabi looked and acted like the biggest asshole but he seemed to be the biggest softie.

Izuku flipped to the last few pages seeing the picture of Shouto standing in the street with him. They were working holding coffee in their hands. Then he flipped to the very last photo. It was him sitting Tenko, Himiko and Jin on the couch. He could see some of Kurogiri in the chair in the background.

He had been watching Shouto this whole time. How....

"Why didn't you ever say anything to him?!" Izuku asked.

"Can't. Would discredit him and Dad. Dad already knows who I am. He avoids anything that has to do with us after the day we kidnapped your.... friend."

He handed back the gray photo album.

"I need to go lay down," Izuku said, "If you need me call me."

He disappeared into his room. The villains stayed in the kitchen. Dabi pulled himself off the table. He was stitched up and all bleeding had stopped thanks to Himiko. She disappeared into her room and grabbed some of Jin's clothes for Dabi to wear for the time being.

It was a rough morning.

It was around three in the afternoon when Izuku woke up. He felt the spot beside of him on the bed to be empty making him feel kind of lonely. He didn't blame Tenko for not coming to bed for a nap with him since he was upset earlier. His poor head was still spinning.

The oldest brother was a villain. He is a villain.

The the fact Endeavor ignored Dabi's villain status.... meant he cared, right?

I've been aware of Shouto's family problems for a while but I didn't think one of them would just show up here. How could I have known about it? It makes no sense.... It's absolutely ridiculous to think he was his brother just because he had some kind of fire quirk.

Izuku rubbed his head. It hurt more than it should have. He looked over at the dresser to see the cake was gone. A small smile appeared on his lips.

I wonder what I can do for them. I feel bad because they have to sneak around to do anything. I almost feel like they're trapped in my apartment.

He ran a hand through his hair.

"You're awake."

Izuku jumped and turned around.

"Tenko."

"Are you ok?"

Izuku nodded slowly, "I guess.... I kind of feel like an ass."

"You..... how could you ever be an ass?" he asked sitting down next to him.

"You guys seem really close. To hold a secret like that."

"Hmmm. We have been through a lot."

Izuku nodded.

"I'm sorry you guys are stuck here. Hiding."

The villain rolled his eyes.

"This is like freedom for us."

The hero stared at him.

"Is it?"

"I guess you would see it differently since you go to work and everything."

"I don't know how to face Shouto now."

"You have to stay quiet because your friend would tear down your apartment for him."

Izuku nodded.

"I understand how hard things are for you this way but it's how it is in this life. The people you want nearby can't be and those who are nearby may not be the ones you can trust willingly but you have too."

His green eyes started to water.

"It's not fair."

"Life isn't fair."

Izuku looked at Tenko. He remained expressionless but his eyes looked sad. Filled with pain.

"If I was there, I would've saved you."

Tomura cracked a smile.

"Would you now?"

"Yup, quirkless and all."

The villain laughed.

"I think you did enough saving for me already."

Izuku leaned over and kissed his lips softly, "Not enough yet."

"Trust me Hero, I don't need saving."

"We'll see about that."

Tenko rolled his eyes.

"Did you like your cake?"

"Yes and why did you make it?"

"Because you loved it. Made with extra peanut butter."

"I can't believe you aren't mad about that. I almost expected you to poison it when you made it."

"Why would you think that? Do I really put out that vibe?"

"No, not now but it was the reason why I helped you make it in the first place."

He snorted.

"I'm almost incapable of being mean."

"I actually believe that now."

"So.... I have something to tell you," Deku said smiling.

"What's that?"

"I like you Tenko. A lot."

His pale cheeks became rosy red within seconds and he opened his mouth to speak but weird, strangled sounds came out.

"You don't have to say anything right now. I like you though."

Shigaraki shut his mouth, looking at the floor.

"How is Dabi?"

"He's fine. Watching TV. He ate most of the food this morning."

Izuku chuckled.

"Sorry for flaking out."

"You're emotional.... Almost too emotional."

"Shouto doesn't seem to mind it but then again he didn't get to be very emotional growing up."

"Dabi told us."

"I want to be able to be that kind hero.... you know? The kind that saves someone.... changes their mind. Makes them feel like they belong. You think I can do that?" Izuku asked.

"Are you really asking me? Or you want me to say yes?"

A weird smile appeared on his lips.

"Truthful with me like I was with you about Stain when you threatened me at the mall."

"I kind of forgot about that."

Izuku put his head on Tomura's shoulder, closing his eyes and taking in a deep.

"I couldn't tell you if that was possible. You would have to figure it out on your own."

"So, you have normal type skin, right?" she asked looking at the three bottles on the floor.

"Why don't you use the sheet?" he asked, "Wouldn't it cover my whole face?"

"Your face is bigger than mine. You're a guy."

"This is pretty though. It's pink and yellow. It reminds me of flowers."

She giggled.

"Here's a yellow mask that purifies? You want that one instead?"

"Sure!"

"I'll have to use one of my headbands to hold back your hair since it's all over your face. Is that ok?"

"Sure. What colors do you have? Can I have red if you have it?"

She nodded with a big smile digging through her caboodle for hair accessories.

"Here we go!"

"So do I have to use cucumbers too?" he asked looking serious, "I don't really like them but the lotion they have for girls smells really good."

"I wish we would've hung out earlier! You're so much fun!"

He laughed.

"You care if you only paint my toe nails? I swear I don't have the usual ugly guy feet."

"That's fine! Would you paint mine afterwards?"

"Of course!"

Himiko started working her magic. Soon, Izuku looked like a few large woman with his hair pulled back. He hadn't had a hair cut in forever. Himiko found a set of toe separators that were big enough for Izuku's man feet and started painting his nails red since he requested the color.

"You have such pretty nails!" she whined.

"Mom made me take vitamins. I still do."

Tenko and Kurogiri sat at the kitchen table. The villainous leader couldn't believe he was so comfortable sitting there, having a girls' night with Himiko. She used to cry for hours because him and Dabi refused to do it.

I don't get him. Maybe that's what I like about him. He's so hard to read and he's unpredictable.

His face started to color thinking about the blowjob he had gotten the other morning. That hero certainly was something else.

"Can I have a kiss?"

Izuku's voice cut through his thoughts quickly.

"Not with that shit on your face."

Dabi started snickering.

"Please," the hero begged pulling off the puppy dog eyes like a champ.

"Fuck."

He dragged himself into the living room and gave him a kiss, getting some of the yellow clay mask onto his own face.

But the sweet and cute gesture was ruined.

Creakkkkk

Everyone froze as the front door swung open.
