so as i outlined in this post, I've been using the older sebastian mod when adding tomura to my game, which makes robin sebastian's sister instead of his mom. this leads to the perfect opportunity to replace robin with hana!
like tomura's sprites/portraits, you will need to replace the images from another mod with these in order to get it to work. here is a mod i found that should work!! please let me know if you have any questions or issues!!
why the fuck is every robin sprite/portrait replacement mod freaky as hell... i need to link one for the hana sprites/portraits, but every one is so strange T_T
Call Me Sometime (Chapter 5) - a Shigaraki x f!Reader fic
You work the dispatch desk at a phone sex line to make ends meet, and you're used to handling some strange calls. But the caller you're babysitting tonight is the strangest by far -- and that's before you find out why he called.
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5
âItâs really not so scary,â Sakura says to you, smiling. The two of you are meeting in the room where she holds her video sessions, which makes you feel weird on way too many levels â but this is where she wanted to meet, and you want as much information as she can give you about working under a contract. âWhat have you heard? About escort work in general?â
âAfter working here so long? A lot.â Most of it isnât good. âUm, you all provide kind of a big range of services. You have different specialties. Hirono and Mitsuko see the guys who get off on power plays, and Mayumi handles the ones with really specific fetishes. Yoshimi only works with clients who like to roleplay. And you ââ
Youâve never been clear on what Sakuraâs specialty is. You give her an apologetic look, and she laughs. âMy specialty is discretion,â she says. âI work with clients who want a companion who can pass as something more â something more than a mistress, even. You could say I provide the girlfriend experience.â
âThe girlfriend experience,â you repeat. âWhatâs that?â
âOh, Nine-chan. Havenât you ever had a boyfriend?â
Youâve had two. One in middle-school, which doesnât count, and one in high school, which does. He saw you naked, so you have to count him, even if the two of you werenât in love. âYeah, but it was kind of weird. I didnât really know what he wanted from me.â
âThat wonât be a problem here. Itâll likely be spelled out in the contract,â Sakura says. âAmount of contacts per day, type of contact â text, phone, video, face to face. Date activities. Sexual expectations. All of that will be covered under the contract. I â are you okay?â
Somewhere around âsexual expectationsâ you started getting nauseous. âIâm good.â
âThe expectations will be spelled out,â Sakura says, giving you a worried look. âBut the girlfriend experience isnât just about quantity of contact. Itâs about quality. Itâs about making the client in question feel like the most important man in the world, without putting pressure on him to do anything in response. Time spent with you should feel good for the client. It should feel easy and stress-free, and to his observation, it should look effortless from you.â
Youâve heard the high-tiers say things like that before. âProfessional.â
âNot quite,â Sakura says. âEscorts who work outside of contracts need to be professional, to make it clear with their clients where the boundaries lie. Youâre working with one client whoâs paying a lot for all your attention. Your job is to make him forget the payment part. The client should feel like youâre with him because you want to be.â
âSo the girlfriend experience is the girlfriend fantasy.â That makes a little more sense to you, but you see Sakura shrug. âNo?â
âIt depends,â Sakura says instead. âHow do you feel about Player One?â
You donât know how to answer that. Sakura can tell. âPrior to my contract, I had twelve regular clients,â she says. âNone of them were terrible, but I looked forward to meeting one of them much more than the others. Partially because of how he treated me, of course, but partially because there was a lot to like about him. Men hire escorts for a lot of different reasons. My favorite client hired me because he wanted companionship, and his career didnât allow time for him to date.â
Youâve heard rumors about who Sakuraâs contract is with. Youâre pretty sure heâs a hero â a minor one from a rich family who works a really busy beat. Yokohamaâs a big city. Thereâs always something going wrong. âI liked him,â Sakura continues, âand he liked me. We developed a tighter bond than I did with my other clients, to the point where we decided it would be best to become exclusive.â
âIt was a mutual thing?â
âOf course! Kaz wouldnât have done it unless he knew it was what I wanted.â Sakura smiles. You wonder how much of this is true and how much of it is a story sheâs telling herself to make the fact that some guy owns her more acceptable. âI know your client didnât have a chance to ask you first, but he knew a promotion to escort wasnât what you wanted, didnât he? Had you talked about it before?â
âI couldnât have. I didnât know what Mitsuko was planning,â you say. You think back on the conversation and, like you do every time you think about it, feel unsteady on your feet. âI wasnât going to say anything. He knew something was wrong from my voice.â
Youâve wondered since then if you wanted Tenko to guess that something was wrong. If you were hoping heâd save you. Youâre still not sure what the answer is. Right now, though, it doesnât matter. Mitsukoâs not going to turn you into an escort â instead, sheâs selling you to Tenko so you can provide the girlfriend experience. Sakura nods knowingly. âSo he does know you,â she says. You donât like that idea very much. âAnd you must have some idea of what heâll expect from you in a more formal arrangement.â
You donât have any idea at all. As far as you can tell, Tenko locked you down to avoid losing the access he already has. If heâs after more, he hasnât spoken about it on the phone with you â but even as youâre speaking with Sakura about the contract, Tenkoâs on a video call with Mitsuko, signing the stupid thing. Who knows what kind of ideas he could come away with? âItâs not so scary,â Sakura says again. You believe her even less than you did the first time. âYou already know how to make your client feel good, or he wouldnât have done this.â
You make Tenko feel less alone. Beyond that, youâre not sure how you make him feel, other than weird. Without seeing his face or reading his body language, youâve had to rely entirely on changes in his tone and syntax to tell you whatâs going on in his head, and you can tell that heâs thrown for a loop multiple times during every call. He gets quiet when heâs confused, snappish when heâs unsure, and youâre never sure what you said or did to cause it. Talking to you matters to him, though. Enough that heâs willing to drop a ridiculous amount of money to make sure heâs the only one who gets to.
You wonder, like you do every so often, where Tenkoâs getting the money. It doesnât really matter as long as he can pay â and Mizuho said he could. Thatâs not all Mizuho said about him, though. You ask Sakura. âMizuho said heâs got backup. What does that mean? Just that heâs rich?â
Sakura shakes her head. âAll the clients are wealthy,â she says. âShe means heâs got someone powerful in his corner. Someone Mitsuko would think twice about crossing. Iâm guessing thatâs part of why she said yes.â
Someone powerful. What does that mean? Money is power â but like Sakura said, every Shiroiwa client is rich. Tenkoâs supporter could be powerful in the sense of a quirk, maybe, and your mind jumps to any one of a number of heroes. But Tenko hates heroes. He hates heroes, he has someone powerful enough to spook Mitsuko backing him up, and his boss wants him to fundamentally alter society. A picture comes together in your head, one you donât like. You thought Tenko was a lonely, socially awkward anarchist with money to burn, and maybe he is. Thereâs also a nonzero chance that heâs a villain.
Villain or not, Mitsukoâs just had him sign a contract that says he basically owns you. You read over it sitting in the basically-empty room where youâll hold video sessions if Tenko wants them. Itâs detailed, like Sakura said it would be. Youâre obligated to contact Tenko at least once per day. Sakuraâs contract obligates her to be available twenty-four seven, but Sakuraâs a full-time escort and youâre still hoping to get an aboveboard job one day. The daily contact is mandated to be at least by text, but the expectation is that youâll call him outside of your regular work hours at least once per week â on a phone that, per contract, Tenko will pay for. Video calls and in-person dates are optional. Anything sexual is one hundred percent off-limits until Tenkoâs twentieth birthday so you donât get arrested. The contract mandates that you put together a wish list in case Tenko wants to send you gifts. It also mandates that Tenko give at least two weeksâ notice before terminating the contract, lest a truly ridiculous severance payment be yanked out of his account.
A few of the high-tiers stop by for a look at it, and all of them are impressed. âThe boss was looking out for you,â Mayumi remarks. âThis is a lot of good stuff for somebody who doesnât have to put out.â
âIs that how you feel about it?â Hirono asks. âHaving to put out? I think itâs fun.â
âOf course you do. Clients get off from kissing your toes. Iâm the one who has to threaten to suck a guyâs balls off with a vacuum cleaner if he doesnât eat me out right.â
âOkay, but youâre getting eaten out. Iâm just getting my toes kissed.â Hirono glances at you. âI know Player Oneâs not legal yet, but you two spend a lot of time on the phone. What kind of stuff is he into?â
âThatâs not really what we talk about,â you say. âI donât know.â
You donât know for sure, but you have some ideas, courtesy of Tenkoâs responses to all the weird stuff you find in the mailroom. Lingerie is a yes, costumes are a no. Role-play, or at least the serious kind of role-play, is also a no. He doesnât seem interested in heavy-duty kink, or youâd have heard about it the time somebody sent a full complement of high-end BDSM gear to one of the club girls. The idea of toys seems to interest him, but you canât tell if thatâs a sexual interest or just a basic curiosity. The workers call sex toys for men lube tubes. Sex toys for women are a lot more interesting.
In fact, now that you think about it, the only thing you found that really caught Tenkoâs attention was a book of erotic short stories a client sent to one of the phone sex operators, hoping sheâd read it over the phone the next time he called in. He asked way too many questions about it â where it came from, why someone would send that, what the stories were about, whether they were any good â until you finally snapped and told him to stop trying to trick you into reading them yourself. You couldnât figure out why a guy like Tenko, who has an internet connection and a whole online database of free porn, would be interested in erotica read aloud. You still canât, except â
Except he canât see you. All he has to go on is your voice. The two of you talk about sex not infrequently â you work for an escort service, it always comes up â but itâs always joking or clinical, never actually hot. You wouldnât know where to start and neither would he. Maybe he wanted to you to read the stories so youâd have a script to go off of. Or maybe he just wanted to hear you talk about sex like you meant it.
âI knew there was something,â Hirono crows. âLook, sheâs blushing ââ
âYouâre going to be fine,â Mayumi tells you. She pats your shoulder. âThis guy likes you so much that he locked it down sight unseen â and between you and me, I think heâs going to be pretty happy with the sight once he sees it.â
You donât think so. You donât look like anything special, and it doesnât take much to tip you from ordinary to gross. Third-day hair and forgetting to wash your face will usually do it. You can cross that bridge when you come to it, though. Unless Tenko wants to video call, youâre perfectly fine to keep answering the phone in sweatpants.
Your brand-new work cellphone arrives towards the end of your shift, already set up. The contact list contains one phone number, which must be Tenkoâs, and heâs also downloaded a ton of mobile games. You set your passcode, power off the phone and turn it on again, and then send your first text to the single number in your contact list. Hi. Itâs me.
The phone starts ringing, painfully loud, and you answer it and hold it up to your ear, already missing your headset. âIt got there,â Tenko says. You nod until you remember that he canât see you. âWhat do you think?â
âItâs really nice,â you say. Nicer than your personal phone, for sure. âThanks for not making it pink.â
Tenko snorts. âIâll send you a case for it as soon as you tell me what colorâs your favorite.â
Your instinct is to recoil, to duck the personal question â but as of a few hours ago, your time belongs to Tenko, and youâre supposed to provide the girlfriend experience. Guys probably want to know their girlfriendâs favorite color. You swallow hard and tell him, wondering why you feel like youâre selling your soul, then follow up: âYou donât have to get me a case.â
âYeah, I do. I hear you drop stuff all the time in the mailroom,â Tenko says. âYour audio sounds weird. Do you have headphones?â
âIâll go find a headset,â you say.
âIâll be right back.â
You hang up, go to the reception desk, and beg, steal, and borrow your way into the headset you usually use. âYou have a contract now,â Mizuho grouches at you. âMake Player One buy it for you.â
Youâll ask Tenko to buy you stuff when hell freezes over. You take a few seconds, connect your headphones via Bluetooth, and call Tenko back. He picks up on the first ring. âDonât hang up on me again.â
âSorry,â you say. âI just had to go look for one.â
âYou could have taken the phone with you,â Tenko says. Heâs getting clingy. Or maybe not: âI donât hang up on you. Except that one time.â
âMaybe we should talk about that,â you say. âI read the contract. Itâs really specific. But it doesnât tell me what you want from me.â
âIsnât it obvious?â
Thatâs not the answer you were hoping for. âIf it was obvious, I wouldnât ask,â you say. âThis is all really weird. Iâm grateful. Really. I would rather talk to you than any of the others.â
âBecause weâre friends.â
Every so often, Tenko will ask you a question that feels like it has a wrong answer. This is one of them. âYes.â
âI donât have a lot of friends,â Tenko says. âMore than I had before, but you were first. Iâm not losing you to some string of assholes who are too pathetic to get a real date.â
Itâs quiet for a second. âAnd you sounded like you were going to cry or something when you told me. Iâd be the asshole if I let my friend cry.â
Your throat closes up. âIâm glad you have more friends now,â you say, swallowing hard. What is wrong with you? âYou deserve that. You deserve people who care about you.â
âWhat about you?â Tenko asks. âWho do you have that you care about?â
âWeâre going straight for personal questions, huh?â You should have guessed thatâs what would happen. Itâs not like you can have phone sex or something. Or that either of you would even know where to start with that. âUh, so â thereâs my D&D group, right? Iâve told you some about them. I met one of them through work and the other ones I know from high school. I havenât had time to make friends in my EMT course yet. Iâd like to, but they like to go out after class, I always have to work.â
âNot anymore,â Tenko says. âGo out if you want to.â
Sakura said to provide the girlfriend experience, but no boyfriend youâve ever had or heard of has suggested that you go out with people, particularly not when you havenât specified the gender composition of the group. âDonât you want to know if there are going to be guys there?â
âNo,â Tenko says. You picture him shrugging. Youâve been trying harder to picture him lately, and itâs not going well. His voice tells you nothing. âIâm not your dad or something. Do you have parents? Where are they?â
âUm â Iâm an only child. My mom and I talk. Sometimes.â You canât remember the last time you actually called her. Usually itâs just a text or two, here and there. âAnd then my dad, he â um, heâs the reason Iâm here. He had â has â a gambling problem. He spent all our familyâs money trying to pay back debts, so I had to get a job. So I guess you can thank him for the fact that we met.â
Itâs quiet for a little bit. âDo you believe in fate?â
âHuh?â You try to switch gears with minimal success. âWhy?â
âOr destiny, I guess. Sensei does. Thatâs why he chose me,â Tenko says. Whoâs Sensei? Youâve heard him refer to a boss before, but never a teacher. âI want to say I wish your shitty dad hadnât made it so you had to get this job, but if you didnât get this job, I wouldnât have met you.â
Oh. It strikes you as weirdly sweet. Maybe thereâs something wrong with you. âLetâs say destinyâs a thing,â you say. âEven if I didnât have this shitty job, weâd have met sometime anyway.â
âThen I wish your shitty dad hadnât made it so you had to work for an escort service,â Tenko says, and you laugh. âI mean it. If weâd have met some other way.â
âWe would have,â you say. âSo, um â are you busy right now? What are you doing?â
âNot busy. Iâm just in my room,â Tenko says. âPlaying a few games.â
âDid I interrupt?â
âNo,â Tenko says at once. âI was just â uh â hanging out. Donât worry about that stuff.â
âAbout interrupting your games?â
âAbout interrupting anything,â Tenko says. âI want to talk to you.â
Right. He wants to talk to you. Heâs paying a lot of money to make sure he can talk to you. âI thought we could play games together sometimes,â he says. âEven if you have to study, we can be on the phone. I wonât bother you. I want to hang out.â
âYou went quiet. Do you want to hang out â not on the phone?â
âI mean, I thought you did,â you say awkwardly. âI sort of thought ââ
You donât know what you thought. The girlfriend experience, like Sakura said, except that doesnât seem like itâs on Tenkoâs mind. He has other friends now, but he still wants to talk to you. Does he even know what you look like? Are you just supposed to treat him the way youâd treat your other friends? Your relationship with Tenko, whatever it is, used to be simple. Now itâs complicated, just like everything else in your life, and not for the first time, you find yourself wishing you could go back to the way things were before.
âWeâll meet up,â Tenko says into the silence. âNot yet. Right now I want to know what you want for your birthday.â
âYou donât have to get me anything,â you say at once. âJust sing me the birthday song and weâll be good to go.â
âMe singing you the birthday song would ruin your birthday,â Tenko says. âIf you had a wish list, Iâd get you something from that, but since you donât, you can just tell me. Pick something.â
âUm ââ You cast about for something inexpensive, something you still couldnât justify buying for yourself. âNew dice.â
âDice?â
âFor my D&D game. Everybody has their own set, and the people in my group get ones that match their character somehow. I can only afford the plain ones.â Your face is heating up with embarrassment. âIf you wanted to get me something Iâd definitely use, new dice would be great.â
âI can do that,â Tenko says. He sounds pleased. âWhat does your character look like?â
Somebody in your group likes to draw, so you have a picture â but not on this phone. You spend an awkward few minutes texting yourself from the new phone so your personal phone has the number, then texting the photo from your personal phone to the new one. Trying to juggle multiple phones is going to be a pain. If youâre not careful, youâre going to wind up calling and texting Tenko from your personal phone.
You finally get the photo sent. Tenko must have his sound on, because you can hear the arrival noise from the message through your headphones. âThis is cool,â Tenko says. He sounds surprised. âI thought it was going to be like â a nun, or something.â
âThatâs what I had been thinking, but the person who drew it went the other way with it,â you say. âI like it better this way.â
âMe too. I needed something for your contact photo, anyway.â
So that answers one of your questions. Tenko doesnât know what you look like. If heâs going to imagine you as somebody, you donât mind if itâs your D&D character. âThen I need a contact photo for you,â you say. âThatâs something else you can get me for my birthday.â
Tenko makes a skeptical noise into the phone. âYou donât want a photo of me.â
âEither you can send me a picture or sing me the birthday song,â you say. âUp to you.â
He must really not like singing. A second later, you get the photo.
You canât see his face. Or anything in his background. Heâs taken the photo from about a forearmâs length away when heâs mostly facedown in his pillow, and all you can see is messy blue-grey hair and the corner of one eye. You canât tell what color his eye is. Just that heâs looking at the camera.
thanks, you text back, even though the two of you are still on the phone. i like your hair
âDonât lie,â Tenko says out loud. But a heart-react shows up next to your message, and your stomach does an odd twist. âUse that one for now. You can take a better one when we meet up.â
Itâs weird. The thought that he didnât want to meet in person made you uneasy, but the thought that he does expect to meet up makes you nervous, too. But he said not yet, so you tell yourself not to worry about it for now. Youâll cross that bridge when you get to it. You try not to think about how many bridges youâve crossed with this job that you never expected to get to in the first place.
âWhen we met up,â you say. You save the photo and set your phone aside. âSounds good.â
Well, that wasn't true. You didn't have a good reason to be standing in front of the door of Tomura's fancy new office at the PLF headquarters. You had reasons, but they made you feel stupid.
You frowned as you looked at Tomura through the glass wall. He looked busy, doing whatever he does on the computer. Probably something importantâtoo important to be interrupted. You shouldn't have come here.
Turning on your heel, you walked down the hallway, freezing as he called your name, muffled through the glass. "I thought you were coming in?"
Fuck, he must have seen you. You should've been faster. Defeated, you spun around, opening the door to stick your head in. "What's up?"
He cocked his head, removing Father from his face. "Were you not coming to see me?"
Fuck, he looked really cute like thatâhair gently tousled, his tie loose around his neck. He'd been wearing more suits lately, and it'd be a lie to say you weren't at least a little feral about how good he looked in them.
"I was," you admitted. "I was just bored, and I missed you and wanted attention. But you look busy, and I don't want to bother you," you trailed off, feeling embarrassed.
He blinked, looking more confused than before. "Huh? Why'd you think you'd be bothering me? Is that why you're not coming in? Come here," he pat his thigh.
You should've known better than to think he wouldn't read you like a book. He was too observant. Or maybe you were just easy to read. You sighed, stepping into the office and shutting the door behind you.
Despite his obvious desire for for you to sit on his lap, you leaned on the desk instead. "Are you sure I should be sitting on you?" You asked, tryingâand failingâto ignore his pout. "You just got your cast taken off, I don't want to strain yourself."
"I'm fine," he grumbled, before tugging on your hands. Sometimes you were jealous of TomuraâHe didn't have the self-doubt or internal shame you had about asking for things. Maybe it wasn't a rational thing to be jealous of, because it definitely had come to bite him in the ass before. This time, though, it worked in his favorârolling your eyes, you tentatively sat in his lap as his hands wrapped around your waist.
"There we go," he smirked, looking all-too pleased with himself. Ever since he gained full control over decay, he'd been more touchy than normal. If you were in reach, he always had a hand on youâyour's in his as you walked, one on your thigh when you sat next to him. Not to mention how handsy he'd been when it was just the two of you. It was nice, although it made his absence feel worse.
"Why didn't you come in? Tell me," he asked, squeezing your sides.
You should've known better than to think Tomura would drop the subject. He was particularly stubborn about some things. You sighed, wrapping your arms around his neck to stabilize yourself. "Again, I thought you were busy."
He cocked his head. "I wouldn't have minded."
You hummed in disapproval. "Easy for you to say. Remember when you snapped at me for bothering you at the bar?"
"Oh," he frowned, looking equally embarrassed and mad at himself.
"Yeah," you reached down to playfully poke him in the chest. "And I want an apology."
"Sorry," he said immediately, "I was an idiot back then."
"It's okay," you laughed, "You're smarter now." You leaned in to kiss him, happy that you decided to come here after allâeven if it was to just get a little bit of attention.
Well, that wasn't true. You didn't have a good reason to be standing in front of the door of Tomura's fancy new office at the PLF headquarters. You had reasons, but they made you feel stupid.
