I don't know if it's his cup of tea

[luffythinker]

you know what? i too was getting into Overhaul cause i've been watching character videos on him. i plan to write something about him and Shiggy that involves Shiggy learning early on that AFO doesn't really care about him and that conflicts with Overhaul believing he's not supposed to care but he cares cause it reminds him of pops in a messed up way so he wants to help Shiggy. You would not understand the weird scenarios i think about during the day about these two. I don't write very good or well (didnt pay enough attention in that class so my writing skills are more, "a thing is being told" rather then painting a picture with words)

im working towards "forced proximity" cause i think it's funny and it's gonna get them to be friends. i thought up a scenario with my friend where the LOV who is in alliance with the shie hassaikai is trying to do something and they accidently take out/knock out the singer, but the singer looked almost just like Shigaraki with short blue hair, so for a distraction they have shigaraki go on stage and lip sync to her music while they go do whatever it is they have to do.

i quickly wrote it out on my phone so could have the idea to put in a later time in my story i haven't even started yet. I like how everyone always shares their stories with you so i wanna share my cringey mess. i apologize in advance for cringe.

It was supposed to be a straightforward mission – infiltrate the venue, extract the data, and get out without causing too much of a scene. Leave it to fate to throw a wrench in the works at the worst possible moment.

Shigaraki stood in the dim backstage area, his fingers twitching trying to think of something, anything. "We messed up..." He hissed between his teeth.

"What's the plan?" Spinner wondered out loud peering from where they were concealed backstage at a sold-out concert. The melody of a pop song pounded through the speakers, resonating with the enthusiastic crowd in front. Overhaul mask covering any hint of anxiety that prickled at this development moved the body to a sitting position in a backstage chair. The man shook his gloved hands as if she were something disgusting he'd just touched like raw meat.

Things were about to get interesting in the worse way possible.

Behind them lay the unconscious singer of the night, poor thing was knocked out cold by accident during their chaotic entry. Twice didn't mean to get seen by her, it just kinda happened. Then Dabi knocked her out cold to stop her from screaming and calling security.

She wasn't dead though..what a shame.

Ironically enough, she bore an uncanny resemblance to Tomura: same skeletal cheekbones, ghostly pale skin, and eerily similar blue hair. Overhaul had pointed that out when he saw her face. Nothing like in the pictures they saw on their way in here.

Tomura skin itched differently then normal. The fact he watched him close enough to see his bone structure was creepy as heck but he didn't add anything to that conversation.

Dabi glanced up from where he was rigging a ridiculously huge computer system. "Hey, i think we could have the show go on while we get in and out." The screen lit up his features almost like his fire but duller and white. He brought up one of the singers pop songs from the album list. "You might not like my idea though boss." There was a chuckle in his voice.

Toga's eyes lit up mischievously as she realized what was happening. What he said just now. She looked towards Tomura singling him out.

"OH!" She gasped in delight. "You look just like her!" she repeated Overhaul's earlier statement. "We can use you as a distraction while we do our thing!"

Tomura's blinked his red eyes before glaring at her. "I'm not parading around like some idiot!"

"Whaaaatt? How come?" She put her finger to her chin. "All you have to do is shake your hips a little and pretend to sing! It's not like you'll be doing much. Normally performers play their music behind them and never really sing these days.." She spoke as if she knew more about this subject like it bothered her on some level that they were phony's.

"The only thing i'm gonna shake is your neck with my hands. I'm not doing this!"

Himiko flailed her arms poking her lip out as Tomura. before she could get started on her tantrum- "I mean.." Chronostasis started stepping beside Overhaul. "that's not a terrible idea."

"YOU ONLY THINK THAT CAUSE ITS NOT YOU!" Tomura protested.

"Well whatever you do we gotta do it now." Dabi said bringing up a playlist. "If your gonna do it i would think you should listen to whichever song so they can at least half-believe this class act." The firey man was smirking, bet he thought this was soooo funny..

All of them idiots for this...

Twice approached him his features on his mask squinting and un-squinting. “I'd do it if i could!” he said before switching personalities, adding cheerfully out of place. "But my clones would probably not work very well."

That is..understandably bad news.

Toga giggled behind her hand. "Well, Tomura," she teased playfully, "looks like you get to be a star tonight!"

There was no way out was there? At least not one he could see that wasn't this atrocity. Distract the crowd and buy them some time.

"i hate you." he grumbled under his breath. Tomura was dragged by the arm with Toga to get fitted for the mission. She pulled some outfit she had dug up from backstage racks—ridges glittering under layers of sequins. "What do you think?"

Tomura cringed. "I think im gonna throw up."

Seconds later, Toga had Tomura looking somewhat like the singer if you didn't look very close nobody could tell.

"We couldn't risk the crowd seeing how ugly and spindly your physic is so i did the best i could." She smiled like she'd done something good.

Tomura stood under glaring spotlights facing an amped-up audience urgently waiting for their idol. A quick nod and Spinner triggered the playback Dabi was commanding for a short time. Tomura came toward the edge of the stage while pulling the outfit. It was flashy and ugly to him. White long pants with gray stripe going down the side. a White top that didn't cover all his mid section but a jacket that covered most of his back. White combat boots. As music poured out over deafening speakers echoing resonant beats through massive stadium walls he resumed center stage, he nauseously waved to the crowd first couple seconds of the song starting up. He lip-synced to semi-familiar lyrics gritting teeth behind feigned smile.

Overhaul was going to keep watch with Spinner to make sure this went off without a hitch. Proceeding with the mission while Twice, Dabi, Chronostasis, and Himiko prepared themselves for what they had to do. Chronostasis was visibly tense; however, he had to have some form of faith in this plan.

While watching Tomura from behind a speaker Overhaul got tangled and tripped over some cords that the original crew probably carelessly thrown on the floor beside the stage and fell into the spotlight where Shigaraki was pretending to sing. Tomura watched him look out at the large crowd catching his footing and removing the wires. OH NO... He stepped forward, trying to be calm picking up the live microphone like he was a guest singer and that was planned intro. This was a on the fly move, as the opening notes of a popular song began to play, he signaled for Tomura to pretend-sing with his head.

"What are you doing?" He hissed under his breath as they walked out under the bright lights.

The man whispered back likely mad with himself for getting himself in this situation. "I tripped, but i can't back out now they'll suspect us! so I'm singing."

Tomura squinted. "There's no male parts in this song!"

"I'll sing myself."

Tomura couldn't believe it when he heard the man sing, he didn't know he could sing. Music played through the speakers as Overhaul continued singing into the microphone with surprising vocals. His voice resonated throughout the packed venue while astonishment spread among the audience.

Chronostasis’s mouth fell open in disbelief backstage while Himiko clutched her stomach trying to stifle her laughter. Tomura grumbled angrily but took position next to Overhaul anyway. He feigned enthusiasm and started lip-syncing awkwardly to lyrics he didn't really know. Every fiber of his being screamed for him to hide as he moved stiffly across the stage amidst sparkling spotlights and elaborate dance routines meant for someone else—someone graceful and talented—definitely not him.

At some point Overhaul attempted to step away from center stage during an instrumental interlude with seamless choreographed movements—Tomura grabbed hold tightly onto his arm shouting quietly over roaring music & dazzling lights— "If i have to do this i'm not doing it alone!" Pulling the man back towards the center with him. Absolutely not, there will be no getting out of this that easy his brow came towards his nose.

The mission was already gone sideways, and now it was descending deeper. Tomura continued to begrudgingly lip-synced to the peppy pop song. The crowd, thankfully unaware of the true nature of their 'entertainment,' cheered enthusiastically, blissfully ignorant of the true identities of their performers.

Overhaul momentarily stunned the audience into silence before they erupted into even louder cheers. Overhaul's deep, melodic voice was a stark contrast to the original singers voice and Tomura's half-hearted attempt at mimicking the singer's airy, poppy style.

Backstage, the rest of the League plus Chrono scrambled to keep up with the evolving situation. Some of the bodyguards noticed the singer not being herself and went backstage, they had to fight them off. They had a lot of heavy hitting quirks and blocking quirks which made it even worse. Himiko threw some knifes that were hooked to a new gear she got so they could be reeled back in while Dabi jump kicked a large guy in his face before shooting a string of flames in his face.

Twice dog piled a guy with multiples of himself while Chrono hid behind something until the coast was clear. He'd like them to not know they were all here choosing the stealthy way in.

After knocking them all out the giddily of them Toga, doubled over with laughter, tears streaming down her face as she watched Tomura from a backstage screen. You could see the camara moving all over the place with those two awkwardly attempting to dance to the music.

Dabi was barely containing his amusement, cued up the next song on the playlist. "Just give us a littttle more time boss."

"We need to move now," Chronostasis urged coming out from behind wherever. "This way."

Nodding, Dabi signaled to Twice and Toga. "Alright, you two, follow the plan. Get to the server room while clockwork extracts the data. We'll secure the exit."

As they moved into position, Spinner kept watch from the otherside of the stage entrance opposite of where Overhaul tripped. His eyes scanning the crowd for any signs of trouble. He noticed missing guards already he only could hope Dabi was doing something about it. Overhaul's slip-up had inadvertently given them more time, but it also increased the risk of exposure. They had to be quick.

On stage, Overhaul continued his impromptu performance, his voice steady and confident as he sang the next verse. Tomura's movements were still stiff and awkward. The crowd seemed to love it, cheering louder with each passing moment unable to tell he wasn't their little pop star.

In the back of his mind, he wondered why he was even doing this. This was supposed to be a straightforward mission—get in, get the data, and get out without causing a scene. Instead, he was stuck playing pop star, the spotlight burning into his pale skin as he tried to keep up with Overhaul's unexpectedly competent performance.

"Just a little longer," he muttered to himself, glaring at the enthusiastic crowd. "Just a little longer, and this nightmare will be over."

As the song neared its end, He and Overhaul exchanged a quick glance. They had to keep the act going just a bit longer, until the rest of their team could complete the mission.

With the final notes of the first song ringing out, Tomura managed to play off teen-girl attitude, bouncing on his feet and clapping at it's ending. Red eyes scan the crowd for any signs of trouble. The applause was deafening, a stark contrast to the chaos brewing backstage.

The lights dimmed momentarily for the next set.

"Just keep them distracted. The others should be done soon." Overhaul said in a low voice.

As the next song started, Tomura took a deep breath, steeling himself for the next round of humiliation. He only hoped their efforts would pay off, and they'd be able to complete the mission without further embarrassment.

For now, all they could do was continue the charade and hope for the best.

idk how to make a like boarder so i just used heart emojis cause this was silly, they are all so silly i love them AHH, i don't know what they are even coming here for but the idea is there

Okay, first of all, love that we're all synchronized and in an Overhaul mood apparently?? I adore forced proximity it always hits so goodkjdfkjdfkjdf

And I think you are selling yourself too short, the writing in this was really good?? I think your writing style fits these characters quite well, cause if it was too flowery or poetical I don't think it would match their vibes, you know? I could imagine everything quite clearly in this

BUT TO THE PARTJKDFKJFDK IT WAS SOO GOOD????

Tomura cringed. "I think im gonna throw up." HE IS JUST SO REALKJFDKLFDKJKKJF i love him so much

And i love the idea of them having to sing in front of each other. Also, i don't know if you meant his voice is deep as in a baritone voice or just regular deep, but I'm gonna assume the first and say that it would be really nice to imagine him singing in a deep breathy type of voice (like Taehyung/V - Love me again)!! For Shigaraki it's hard for me to imagine him singing, but my first thought was to associate him with Felix from SKZ, but not his very very deep voice when he raps, the soft-deep when he sang coldplay or break my heart. ANYWAY THIS WAS NOT TO BE A VOICE ANALYSIS JKDFDFKDFK

But yeah i really enjoyed this and would love to read the full thing when you're done <33333
