Chapter Text
Hitoshi was just walking through the streets when he hears a commotion coming from don the alley so out of pure curiosity he checks it out he’s not sure what he was expecting maybe a drug deal which shouldn’t be because this is his territory and drugs are one of the things he doesn’t tolerate so if there’s drugs involved he’s prepared to win the fight
When he looks down the alley what he sees somehow feels worse to him (maybe cause it felt too much like his own childhood) he sees some guys ganging up on someone with no mercy so he quickly analyzes what’s happening and sees 3 guys 2 are punching the poor guy and the last one isn’t really doing anything but he has his eyes closed so possibly a quirk considering the guy that’s getting beat up is just kinda letting himself get beat up and not even screaming or anything so after just watching he just goes for it, listen he could use his quirk but where’s the fun in that so he quickly slips out his hidden knife and rushes them stabbing the one closest to him and imbedding the knife into the guy’s shoulder and while that one is distracted he turns the the other one and punches him in the face hearing a satisfying crack from Hitoshi breaking his nose
Out of the corner of his eye he can see the one with his eyes closed getting closer with a knife of his own so once the guy is close enough Hitoshi dodges the swing meant to impale his side and elbows the guy in the face knocking him out and dodging the sloppily thrown punch from the first guy and tripping him letting him take himself out afterwards he turns to the guy that was getting beat up only to see that the guy was gone but he sees something on the ground so he bends down to pick it up only to find a name ‘Izuku Midoriya’ he hums to himself and looks over the name tag finding a name for a cafe that’s close by and even better one that he gets his coffee from so that’s convenient
He pockets the the name tag and begins the walk to the cafe and looks around and not seeing anyone he heads closer to the register where he can hear yelling coming from the back area its a bit muffled but he can make out some words like ‘useless’ and worthless’ but the one word that sticks out is ‘quirkless’ and well isn’t that just interesting to hear, Hitoshi files that knowledge away for now and rings the bell on the counter almost immediately the yelling stops and out comes the boy he was looking for, now that he’s getting a better look he can see all the bruises and cuts that he received and can’t help but wonder why no one else offered him help when it’s obvious he’s hurt but he doesn’t dwell on it for very long and just takes out the name tag to return and to possibly give an offer depending on the green haired boys responses
“Are you izuku midoriya?” Holding out the name tag and leaning onto the counter and staring into the green haired boy’s eyes noting the bags and the dull look in them and the way the boy seemed to move on autopilot
“Huh? Oh yea thank you very much for returning this to me I didn't even realize I lost it” his words start to taper off into a mumble its actually pretty endearing in a way
“It's no problem but…” he quiets off while reaching into his pocket to grab his wallet and pulls out some money and a business card of sorts “id like a large coffee with as much espresso you're legally allowed to give me and also I know we don't know each other much but I have a proposal of sorts for you” he says while handing over the money and card, when the other boy reaches out to take the card hitoshi tightens his grip just slightly and leans in lowering his voice so only midoriya can hear him
“And if you ever need anything or maybe just wanna chat text me also the name is shinsou” he lets go of the cash and card and starts to walk away to find a place to sit, waiting for his coffee to be done and to possibly observe midoriya, so what if he was a bit curious over him so sue him and maybe it was risky giving his real name but well he has a feeling that midoriya will be someone he can trust very soon hopefully
“Shinsou”
He gets up and walks over to pick up his coffee noticing that it’s a different barista taking orders he subtly looks around to see if he can spot the short green haired guy the other barista must notice him looking around because he asks if Hitoshi is looking for anyone in particular
“Yea I’m looking for midoriya” Hitoshi takes a sip of his coffee and stares at the barista with a bored expression noticing the souring look on the others face ‘hmm interesting’
“Midoriya? Do you mean deku?” The barista says with a scowl upon his face and disdain clear in his voice. Hitoshi can’t help but think of how satisfying it would be to just hurt the barista for saying something so rude but he can’t justify why he feels that way it’s not like he was being called deku so why does it matter if midoriya is, they don’t even really know each other he knows it’s cause it reminds him of when people would call him a villain as a kid.
Hitoshi smiles showing full teeth he can tell it put the barista to feel uneasy cause Hitoshi knows his smile isn’t something that’s comforting no it’s creepy and menacing and to him it’s perfect and he loves it, maybe when he was younger he hated it since everyone would bully him over it calling him creepy or a villain. Hitoshi laughs to himself over that considering he did become a villain but in his defense it was society’s fault they pushed him to the villain’s side and oh how much he loves it, the lack of fear, being in control, doing whatever he wants and no one be it due to fear or respect no one messes with him.
“Uh I- I’ll go get him for you I guess” the barista turns and quickly retreats heading towards the back bumping into the door frame in his haste and Hitoshi doesn’t really try hiding his amusement over that.
A minute or so later midoriya comes out from the back area his face bruised and eyes looking confused and calculating but dull it looks unnerving and that’s coming from Hitoshi, he can tell there’s lots of intelligence in this short green haired boy
“Um- how can I help you? I was told that you requested me, did I mess up your order? I’m really sorry if I did. I can fix it right away if you need me to” his voice getting more nervous with each word and starting to blend together in a mumble the more he talks and Hitoshi honestly finds it very entertaining and endearing in a way.
“Well in all honesty I just wanted to see you” Hitoshi winks at the other boy enjoying the small blush that rises on his face, “and I was wondering if, and I know I already gave you my number but I was wondering if you would like to hang out after you get off work possibly?” Hitoshi leans casually against the counter hoping he doesn’t show how much he wants the other to agree.
He can see how the other boy’s eyes are contemplating it and he tries his best to seem harmless and it must work cause after what felt like years the boy agrees and tells him what time he gets off, and we’ll even if Hitoshi had meetings with other leaders to negotiate trades he deems this more important and decides to just wait around until midoriya clocks off and in that time Hitoshi can’t decide if he wants to take him just on a stroll through the park getting to know each other or take him back to the compound and try and get him to join right away.
He hopes that midoriya would join anyway regardless of which Hitoshi chooses cause it would a shame to have to kill him but well Hitoshi can’t risk anything getting out
