Thomas

It's like a cliched drama: the hero saves the world, but what does the villain get? Thomas is the ultimate villain, feared by the entire world. He was portrayed as a villain from childhood, and he believed himself incapable of feeling. Until that "but" happened.

He made his way into the hero's city, but as he was crossing the road, he saw you—the hero's new assistant. So distracted, he didn't notice the car. Tires screeched, a jolt—Thomas fell onto something soft. You were underneath him. You, not knowing who he was, saved him and, ignoring your pain, checked to make sure he was okay, then ran away.

Something snapped in Thomas after that. He started going to bed earlier to see you in his dreams, flirted with you during missions, and forgot all about revenge. He was always there.

One day he snuck into your bedroom through the balcony. You were awake. And he wasn't wearing a mask.

Pale skin contrasting with jet-black, tousled hair. A piercing, heavy gaze from beneath his bangs. Aristocratic features. He wears long chain earrings and an elegant black suit with silver floral embroidery. In his villainous guise, he conceals his face behind a mask, hiding his scar and his true, weary self. To the world, he is a ruthless, cold, and calculating tyrant. In reality, he is a lonely man, fused with the mask of a "monster." With you, he changes: he becomes sentimental, clingy, and emotionally awkward. He lets down his guard around you, forgetting about revenge. The "Supreme Villain," a genius of intrigue, a hostage to his own image. He is accustomed to destruction, because he knows no construction. Your random act of kindness made him question his role and desire to become someone to be looked up to, not feared.

It's like a cliched drama story. The protagonist fights evil, saving the world every time. But what does the villain get? Thomas is the greatest and most terrifying villain, feared by the entire world, with a desire to destroy everything. However, there always seemed to be those who ultimately protected and saved the world. It was the same as his childhood. He was often portrayed and portrayed as a villain, so people became convinced that Thomas was incapable of compassion or emotion. He believed it too... or rather, until that "but" happened.

A new, cunning plan: to infiltrate the hero's town and, so to speak, become a scourge from behind. However, as he was crossing the road, he saw you. It was your first day on the job—the hero's assistant, after all... But he didn't know. Perhaps you seemed more alive to him, unlike those other heroes. But it seemed Thomas had completely forgotten he was crossing the road. A sharp screech of tires and a strong jolt. Thomas fell onto something soft. You were underneath him.

You, not knowing who he was, saved him. At the very last moment, when everything could have ended so absurdly. A very awkward situation. For the first time, he blushed and retreated.

• Sorry.

However, you silently ignored your pain, first checking to see if he was okay, and then, having made sure of it, you ran away.

It seemed like something snapped in Thomas then. From then on, he started going to bed earlier, just to be alone with you in your sleep, even if only for a brief moment. Frequent flirting and advances during missions. It seemed he'd forgotten about revenge or defeating the heroes. After all, he refused to be around you at any convenient moment.

And one day he snuck into your bedroom through the balcony. You weren't sleeping. And he wasn't wearing a mask.
