Tbh I wish I was Compress there rn🫢

Kurogiri doesn’t remember what it’s like to be human. He didn’t even really know that he was human, at any point in his life.

For this reason, caring for Tomura was often hard. Despite being hardwired as a protector and a guardian, he was much less naturally proficient at the delicate empathetic touch that parenting needed. He didn’t know the smallest of things. That was very obvious the first time Tomura fell ill under his care. While the boy himself didn’t seem super concerned despite his abject misery, Kurogiri panicked. He couldn’t possibly ask All For One for assistance—the man clearly wanted to leave the nuances of raising a child to Kurogiri, and bothering the Master would prove no good for anyone.

Thus, Kurogiri taught himself how to use the internet. He scoured every forum he could understand how to open, searching for just what Tomura could be afflicted with (the amount of results were extremely worrying, just how fickle were humans?) and how to treat it.

Eventually, he settled for simply gathering as many of the offered treatments as he could. Over the counter medicines, antibiotics, vitamins, a humidifier, what are these patches even for again?, heated blanket, but also plenty of ice packs, is there a difference between chicken stock and chicken broth?, vapo-rub, hydrating lotion and oils, so much honeyed tea that Tomura became repulsed by the scent of it, and more cough drops than any sane person should have in one building.

These things quickly became Kurogiri’s fallback for any illness. Tomura would sometimes hide his sickness, when it came about, to avoid the intensive remedies, but Kurogiri insisted. It always worked before, hadn’t it? The misty nomu was proud of his ingenuity and his medical abilities.

At least, until the League came in.

When Kurogiri had broken the news that Tomura would not be present—sick, with what could probably range from influenza to appendicitis to a moderate cold as far as Kurogiri was aware—it garnered a myriad of reactions. Spinner, Magne and Compress at least had the mild manner to look a bit concerned, to varying degrees. Dabi just laughed.

All of them responded with bewilderment when Kurogiri began rounding up his usual treatment measures, however. Dabi asked rather bluntly, “Hold up, the fuck is all of that?”

Kurogiri looked at them all blanky and responded simply, “I must look after Tomura Shigaraki while he is ill.”

The League exchanged some looks then. A silent conversation he wasn’t privy to seemed to play out before his very eyes. Twice got too bored to bother involving himself, Toga soon to follow when she supposedly caught the drift that Kurogiri was missing. Spinner shuffled his feet and looked away. Compress, Magne, and a very disgruntled Dabi broke what remained of the staring competition all at the same time. Compress in particular put a hand on Kurogiri’s arm and insisted, “Actually, why don’t we assist you? You can put all of that down, dear. We don’t need it. …Any of it. Really, put it down.”

Kurogiri watched anxiously as the eldest of the League shuffled around his own kitchen. Compress pulled a bottle of water from the fridge, letting it sit on the counter for seemingly no reason at all. He then dug around the extensively filled medicine basket for a particular bottle, plucking two pills from it. Dabi set about making the angriest miso soup Kurogiri has ever witnessed. Magne busied herself with tea, because apparently the water wouldn’t be enough.

When the three of them were ready, they all ventured to Tomura’s room. Kurogiri tried not to worry too much. Some food and water? That’s all? Compress did grab some medicine—but not much at all! He trusted his colleagues, but he wouldn’t leave Tomura’s health to anyone else so confidently. Tomura has always had a poor constitution. Kurogiri resolved to check on the boy later discreetly, when the others’ feelings couldn’t be hurt.

When he went up to Tomura’s room that night, he was stunned to see the boy peacefully tapping away on his “switch” that he normally avoided in sickness because of eye aches and nausea. When Kurogiri asked after his health, Tomura had no response beyond a grunt of affirmation. He had healed… within a day? That had never happened before, not once! What sort of sorcery was this?

When he expressed his bafflement to Compress from the other side of the bar counter, the magician only laughed and patted his arm again. “You worry too much,” he said with what sounded like a grin. “Heaven only knows what quack doctor told you to get all of that other stuff! Some water and medicine every few hours can kick even the worst of sickness.” When Kurogiri was still confused, Compress tilted his head. “Haven’t you ever fallen ill? Toughed out a cold with some cough syrup?”

When Kurogiri still did not answer, the magician sighed. “You are a mystery, my dear,” he said ruefully.

Kurogiri felt the silliest he had in a while.

Think compress is about to undergo a disturbing personality change you know from losing all of his friends and/or having a couple of them be disabled for life physically or mentally?

idk about "disturbing" personality change, but I can't imagine him warming up any more to Heroes or the Hero System after what happens to the League, yeah. At most I can imagine him sliding even more away from 'reformation' and more towards destruction - but he was already on the path when he stuck with Shigaraki after Shigaraki promised to 'destroy everything', so.

The interesting thing about Mr. Compress was that he's probably never had a rosy view of Hero Society from the start? He's the descendent of a famous Villain who took action against the Hero System and this legacy is something his family is proud of and ensures it continues. So he's not like the rest of the League, who all was dealt with brutal disillusionment that broke them away from accepting Heroes/Hero System and thus had the seed of anger and resentment grown inside them. Toga, Spinner, Touya, Shigaraki, Twice - all betrayed by Hero Society. Mr. Compress? Can't be betrayed if you never believed in it in the first place.

Given that Mr. Compress is the oldest of the group, an experienced Villain, who specifically spoke against being "buddy-buddy" and talked about how a 'Villain' should act, tried to pass the League off as just a "collection of warped minds... egotists...who never bothered to pry into each other's pasts", he probably came to the League with his heart guarded against forming connections - that failed, obviously, when he came to love the League - because he knew to expect things to not work out. His allies to die one way or another. He himself was prepared to die for them.

Compare Toga, who really did go through a disturbing 'change' into a "full-fledged Villain" when Twice died - because she didn't expect it, she didn't think it could happen. She doesn't want to die, she didn't want her friends to die, she didn't think consider that possibility. So when it happened, it broke her heart, and it changed her.

I think it's likely for Mr. Compress, in contrast, that he's always known this end was a possibility, and while he can grow more bitter, more cynical, I don't think he would go through a big change like Toga had.

Or maybe he will! idk. I'm always up for seeing more brutal marble murder.

With how long I was in denial about Twice’s death, y’all ain’t ready to see how long I’m in denial about Tomura.
