Day 3 - Villain AU

“I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”

“Seriously?”

Standing back to back, guns held up, ready to fire if necessary - Kirishima and Setsuna finished a job well-done.

Life was fun being a villain. Honestly, it was.

Kirishima put his communication device to his mouth, “we finished.”

A raspy, static voice spoke on the other end, “wonderful. Report back to the HQ immediately.”

“Yes, sir.”

Stepping over the lifeless bodies, the two made sure not to slip on blood, or cause a scene. They walked out of the alleyway with total calmness.

“So, how’s life?”

Setsuna, in the middle of attaching her hand to her arm, replied with a “good.”

And then the conversation dissolved.

“Have any plans?”

Setsuna gave a look at Kirishima. “No, not necessarily.”

“Just going with the flow?”

“What’s gotten into you, all of a sudden?”

Kirishima wasn’t the best at small talk, but she had to give it to him for trying, at the very least. “Nothing,” replied Kirishima, “just figured we could talk a little before our next mission.”

“Fair enough.” Setsuna picked at her nails with boredom.

“Y’know, it was really fun... shooting all those people together...”

Setsuna gave him a look. “Could you sound any more suspicious?”

Kirishima sighed. He could sound more suspicious if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to tick his co-worker off just yet.

There was silence between the two. Just the sound of their footsteps on the concrete, and the dim street lights flickering on and off every two seconds. Welp... this is awkward...

“I liked working with you today.”

Kirishima looked at Setsuna. “What?”

“I said: I liked working with you.”

The two reached the HQ’s front doors. “Maybe I’ll try to convince boss if we could work together again.” And then, with a slick wink and a sly smile, Setsuna slipped inside, leaving dumbfound Kirishima outside to soak in his own shock.

Did she just hit on me? It was really hard to tell... Kirishima stood there with disbelief, still trying to process what had just happen. It was so sudden...

There was an aggressive knock on the window, and Kirishima looked up to see his other co-worker, Mina, looking at him with a pout on her face. “What are you? A statue?” Her voice was muzzled by the glass window separating them. “What are you waiting for, Kirishima?! Get inside!”
