It was complicated to say the least.
You somehow ended up being friends with a villain that had attacked your friends not once but three times. Were you insane? Maybe, it all depends on how people actually take time to think things through.
Of course you don't condone what the villains have done to innocent people. And you also clearly aren't siding with them either. But knowing how you have such a soft heart, more or else you somehow understood why he was the way he was.
"Hey, (last name)!" Midoriya yelled as he caught up with you.
You stopped and looked over your shoulder. Softly smiling you said, "Hey, Midoriya. What's up?"
"The others and I were talking about going to a karaoke near the school." He explained, "Would you like to come along?"
"Today?"
He nodded. "It's when everyone is mostly free and since midterms are over we thought it'd be a nice way to unwind and relax."
"I actually have to do something first back at the dorms." You said, "Would you mind sending me the address so I can meet up with you guys later?"
"Sure." Midoriya took out his phone and quickly messaged you the name and address. "Do you want me to wait for you―?"
Shaking your head you checked your phone seeing the text had gone through.
"No worries, I won't be long." You assured him, "I should be there in about 10 minutes."
"Well, alright then. Let me know if you need anything."
You softly smiled, "I will!"
After parting ways with your friend you made your way towards the dorms alone. In all honesty it felt kinda nice, arriving back by yourself without any yelling for once. You did appreciate your friends a lot and were thankful, but sometimes with all the chaos around you it always felt nice to have some quiet time.
As you entered the building you saw someone standing there looking at the picture frames that were hung up on the huge green wall.
You immediately stopped moving as panic began to course through your veins.
"I didn't realize you were this close to them." They said, "I admit I'm kinda jealous that we don't have even one photo together."
Your head immediately turned in all directions, hoping there wasn't a single soul around. Especially not Mr. Aizawa who was known to appear and disappear in an instant.
"What are you doing here?" You whispered quickly walking over to him. "How did you even get in?!"
He turned around with one hand behind his head smiling at you.
"I was able to sneak in through your window. Also you really need a new door, it keeps creaking when you open it."
"Dabi…" You sighed, "I told you that you can't show up just like this… anyone could have walked in and see you."
"Don't worry, I overheard you and that Midoriya kid talking about everyone going to karaoke." He explained, "I doubt anyone else is left in the building."
"Well yeah― that doesn't mean that my teacher is gone though."
"Come on, (name) you're over worrying about nothing."
Dabi walked closer to you and opened his arms. "Is it a crime to want and see my favorite doll?"
You knew he meant well still the feeling of someone walking in and seeing you both together did not sit well.
But you couldn't resist, walking closer to him you wrapped your arms around his torso and hugged him tightly. A smile rested on his face as he wrapped his arms around your figure, inhaling your scent.
"These class 1-A idiots are stealing you away from me." He said, "I haven't even been able to see you in almost a month because of them."
"That's not true," you muttered closing your eyes and enjoying his warmth. "You also have been busy and have been gone weeks on trips without talking to me either."
"Because I can't risk your safety." Dabi petted the top of your head. "You know they're already on to me thinking I have a girlfriend and all that crap."
Chuckling you looked up at him, "I mean it wouldn't surprise me if you do end up finding one later on."
"Why go looking when she might be standing in front of me?" He teased.
Blushing you looked away, "You're unbelievable."
"Hey, (last name)!"
Your body froze.
"Shit…" Dabi cursed under his breath as he realized you two have been caught.
"Deku keeps asking about you idiot! How much longer―" Bakugo's eyes glared at the mysterious figure. "What the― who the hell is this?"
Thankful that Dabi's back was facing him, you pulled away and stepped forward.
"He's just… an old friend who came by for a visit." You nervously spoke.
"Does Mr. Aizawa know?" He questioned not believing anything you were saying.
"O―Of course!" You quickly said. "My friend was actually about to leave, he was just passing by since he has stuff to do."
Bakugo's gaze focused on him, still feeling hesitant. "He can't talk or what?"
"Well… he tends to be a bit shy is all." You answered looking away, "But once he gets to know someone he doesn't stop talking at all!"
"Mhm."
You saw the way he was looking at Dabi, his glare became intense.
"What did Midoriya want by the way?" you asked, shifting his focus back on to you.
"That bastard won't shut up about you." He rolled his eyes, "Can you fucking hurry up and go?! I don't want to keep hearing him complaining."
"I'll be right there―"
"Whatever." Bakugo grumbled and stomped out of the dorms already feeling too annoyed to even stay any longer.
Breathing a sigh of relief you said, "Why don't we meet up afterwards instead?" You suggested. "That way they won't keep wondering where I am―"
"Can't you just make up an excuse?"
Turning your head you looked at him, his eyes were casted down. A look of sadness formed in those bright blue orbs.
"Dabi… did you want to hangout today?"
He looked off to the side, feeling himself turning red for admitting that he did not want them stealing your attention.
"Why didn't you say anything? You know I like spending time with you too."
"It seems like you enjoy spending time with them more."
"Well they're my friends." You said getting closer to him hoping he'll look at you. "Of course I like hanging out with them and you. You're one of my best friends, Dabi."
"I'm your best friend?…"
You nodded, "Well yeah… I mean unless you don't see me like someone close―"
Dabi sighed tilting his head back to the ceiling, "You're an idiot." He mumbled.
Tilting your head to the side you asked him confused, "What?"
He turned to look at you, "I never said I didn't consider you someone close to me. If that was true I wouldn't insist on seeing you."
"True…" you muttered looking down at your feet in shame. "I―I shouldn't have… second guessed anything…"
"No you shouldn't have." Dabi took a step forward, surprising you as he held your cheeks with both of his hands. "I like being around you doll, as embarrassed as I am to say this but… I miss you when you're not next to me."
Slowly you looked up at him, "You― wait really?… I mean I'm not going to you know― doubt what you're saying… but you usually seem like you're comfortable being with Toga too."
"She's someone I have to work with, she's a colleague. Of course she is somewhat tolerable though." He explained, however the way he looked at you said something else. "Believe me if you were the one in her place instead I wouldn't hesitate to go to work everyday if it meant seeing you."
Your heart started to flutter, you felt it could fly away any second as you heard him speak. Never did you realize that maybe Dabi would feel that way about you. Of course your friendship started in such a random way, in your mind you thought it would disappear one day but you were taught wrong as the days passed by.
"You're making me feel like an idiot here… the least you can do is respond, you know?"
"R―Right, well I… I actually do not know what to say." You admitted looking away from him, "You are usually self reserved, hearing you talk like that… it's a surprise… but it feels comforting. It's nice to hear you say what you feel."
Dabi's face flushed a dark red, yet it made him feel happy that you were comfortable with him being more open.
"Why don't we go and hangout in your room?" He suggested moving his hand to hold the back of your neck gently as his thumb brushed across your cheek bone. "That way you won't feel as anxious in case someone comes in."
Y―Yeah." You stuttered, feeling nervous about being alone with him.
Before it was a normal occurrence, he used to always come see you at night. Whether it was during your studying time or when you were about to sleep, you never denied him to come inside.
But with all the things he said, it made it feel even more intimate. Dabi was someone you could always count on and trust, yet somehow your heart was beating rapidly than it normally would.
As quickly as you could you unlocked your dorm room and walked inside. You breathed a sigh of relief feeling safe knowing no one would see you two.
As he walked into your room he noticed a picture hanging above your desk. Squinting his eyes, he got closer and realized it was taken during your first time you hung out together.
You decided to change out of your uniform and into some more comfier clothes in the bathroom. When you walked out you saw him still standing in front of your desk.
"Hey, everything alright?" you asked walking over to him.
"I didn't know you had taken a photo that day." He spoke not moving from his spot.
"Oh," you blushed. "I―I was going to tell you but I did not want to make you feel weird since it was the first time we hung out when I was in Kyoto for the weekend."
"You should have told me," he said turning around to face you and took a step forward towards you. "Here I was acting jealous when I shouldn't of have to begin with."
You played with your fingers, "Dabi you shouldn't feel jealous… I treasure our friendship a lot. I do not wish… to think that one day it might end."
"Doll," he sat down at the edge of your bed. "My life expectancy is low you know that with the type of work I do."
"I know…" You mumbled, "But you always come back no matter what happens. I―I mean you said it and you have kept that promise since the beginning."
A faint smile rested on his lips, extending his hand out to you. You took the signal and walked over to him, holding his hand.
"I actually said it as a more of a comfort for me." He admitted as you sat down next to him. "I didn't use to care about staying alive but knowing that you're counting on me and I have someone like you… it has been the source that makes me come back."
"Dabi…" you softly said as you held his cheek carefully, being afraid of hurting him more than he already was. "If you need to have a reason then use me as it, I want you to keep living. No matter what happens I know that one day you will be able to live the life you want."
"How can you have such high hopes for me?"
Smiling small you leaned in and kissed his cheek, his eyes closed feeling your lips against his burned flesh. "Because you are still human and someone who has been through so much still deserves to have their good ending."
Dabi's heart began to pick up its rhythm. Having you this close to him was something he's wanted for a long time. He was hesitant to say anything to ruin the friendship he had built with you. You meant everything to him but it was difficult to stop himself from admitting his feelings to you.
"Do you have any work you need to get done?" He asked.
"I managed to finish everything, I only one thing to do but it's not urgent." You answered, "Do you want to watch a movie? I can order us some food."
He tucked a loose strand of hair behind your ear, "That sounds nice actually. You don't mind if I stay late tonight?"
"Not at all." You smiled looking at him, "I was going to head home until tomorrow morning."
"Finally," he threw his head back looking up at the ceiling then back at you. "We can stay up late."
"Hey, I like getting my hours of sleep in."
"Still, there's nothing bad about staying up late once in awhile you know."
You rolled your eyes playfully, "Yeah yeah."
――――――
"Is the food almost here?" Dabi asked as he looked over your shoulder at your phone.
"It should be here…." you mumbled looking at the info shown on the screen. "In a minute, it's actually around the corner."
"Finally… I was starving." He whined, resting his chin on your shoulder.
"Don't be impatient." You chuckled, "I'll go get it now."
"Don't leave me yet," Dabi muttered as he hugged you tighter around your waist.
You turned your head to look at him. "I won't be long," gently you ran your fingers through his hair. "I'll be quick."
"Mhmm." He closed his eyes enjoying the way your fingers easily glide through his black locks.
After a minute of peaceful silence and sound approvals from him he reluctantly let you go because he was hungry.
Quietly you walked out of your room and headed towards the entrance to the pick up the food from the delivery driver.
"Thank you." You said taking the bag of food and turning back to head inside.
"(name)!" Mina exclaimed.
"Crap…" you muttered to yourself and looked to your left to see everyone making their way towards the dorms.
"We missed you!" Hagakure said as she hugged you tightly.
"We were waiting on you but Bakugo said you had a friend over." Sero said.
"oh uh ha ha y―yeah." You chuckled awkwardly.
Mina furrowed her eyebrows looking at you intently.
Your averted her gaze knowing she was trying to read you.
"You have a boyfriend don't you?!" She accused.
"W―well… he is a boy and he is as friend―"
"You're telling me someone already got to you first before I had a chance?!" Kaminari yelled, "I'll kill him!"
"Who are you going to tell, Kaminari?" Sero questioned, crossing his arms in front of his chest, not believing what he was saying.. "You easily get scared when someone talks to you when you're not paying attention."
"T―that is not true!"
"Is it that idiot from earlier?" Bakugo spoke.
"You saw him?!" Mina yelled, shaking him back and forth by his collared shirt.
"Get the hell off of me you alien eyes!"
The bakusquad gathered around him, questioning him about everything and anything that had to do with your secret mysterious boyfriend.
Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki, Uraraka, and Yaoyorozu walked over to you not wanting to do anything with what was going on behind them.
"Do you really have… a boyfriend?" Midoriya asked.
You shook your head, "No no no, he isn't my boyfriend I swear!"
"We believe you, it's just…" Uraraka paused trying to think of a way to say what she wanted to without doubting you. "You look a bit flustered."
"I'm flustered b―because I'm embarrassed."
"Not to over ask but isn't that a big bag of food for two people?" Todoroki asked.
"She's probably under fed and needed some extra food." Iida answered for you, feeling relief he at least wasn't doubting what you were saying.
"R―Right of course!' Yaoyorozu agreed. "I have to do the same because of my quirk.
And to add more fuel to the fire your phone rang and the screen lit up with a single letter, D <;3.
It caught everyone's attention, including the bakusquad.
"Sorry guys…" you apologized and answered the phone. "Hey…"
"Hey, what's taking you so long?"
"Oh hey, no I'm just talking with some of my friends. And you?"
Dabi walked over to your window and slightly peeked from behind the curtains to see you surrounded by all of your classmates. An idea popped into his head.
"Do you need me to get you out of there?" Dabi couldn't help but smile at how nervous and cute you looked.
"No not at all, I'm fine… really." You assured him smiling as you looked at your friends.
"Put me on speaker, I'm sure they're dying to hear from me." He suggested, "I can help you get away."
"It's fine."
"Put him on speaker!" Mina exclaimed.
Dabi breathed out a laugh, amused by your friends persistence. "Come on doll."
"Okay." You moved your phone away from your ear and pressed on the button. "You're on speaker―"
"Are you really her boyfriend?!" Kaminari yelled out hiding slightly behind Kirishima.
"Hey, well to be honest I have made anything official yet."
Dabi had changed his voice, it didn't sound anything like him, it felt you were talking to someone different.
"No surprise there." Bakugo spoke.
"I will soon though I doubt you'll be able to beat me though."
"What the hell did you say?!" Bakugo got pulled back by Kirishima and Kaminari. "I'll beat your ass you―"
"Kacchan!" Midoriya yelled, "Calm down."
"Are you serious about her or are you two just friends?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"We are friends, I have known her for a while but can't deny she makes my heart go crazy when I see her." Dabi answered.
The back of your eyes turned red, along with your cheeks.
"You shouldn't say those things…" You said.
"I'm not lying when I say that you are special, (name)."
"Okay that is kinda cute." Tsu said.
"Sounds to me like it won't be long before you make a move." Mina teased looking at you.
"Maybe." Dabi chuckled. "It was nice talking to you guys, but I have to go."
"Awe! so soon mysterious boyfriend?" Hagakure pouted.
"I'll make sure to let (name) pass the phone to speak to you guys again."
"You wish!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"For sure, maybe next time we can have a longer conversation." Kirishima spoke.
"Take care of her for me alright ladies?" Dabi asked, "I know the guys will do as well."
"We will make sure your little flower is taken care of." Mina smiled.
"Fore sure!" Uraraka chimed in, "We promise."
"Ribbit!" Tsu said.
"You guys make me feel reassured, I'll talk to you guys next time!"
Everyone bit him goodbye, you put him off speaker and walked inside with everyone following you.
Quickly you made your way towards your room hoping to avoid any questions your classmates might have.
"Did that help?" He walked away from the window and sat down on the bed.
"You made me turn red, Dabi." you whispered. "I almost did not recognize your voice."
"I had to change it given that they already know who I am."
"I know… I just did not expect it. I'm almost at my room, I'll see you in a sec."
Hanging up you opened your door and walked inside, Dabi took the bag from your hands and put it on your desk.
"Did you like my voice?"
You shook your head, "I… like your normal voice."
"Really?" he bit his bottom lip smiling.
"It suits you better."
He couldn't help but wrap his arms around your waist from behind, you could feel his breath tickling your neck. ''Being your boyfriend… would that suit me better too?"
Your face turned beet red, you covered your face with your hands feeling your heart beating out of your chest.
"You're cute when you blush."
"Y―you shouldn't say stuff like that…" you muttered.
"Why not?"
"B―because…" you stuttered getting out of his hold. "You only say those words when you mean them n―not just to joke around."
Dabi then moved to stand in front of you, blocking your way. You were too shy to look at him in the eyes. However he did not back own and took your hands.
"Who said I was joking around, doll?"
"You always say stuff like that…" you mumbled, "And laugh every time I get beet red by your comments."
"Have you noticed that you are the only constant female in my life?"
"Well yeah... doesn't mean you might fall for someone in the future―"
"If that had been the case I would be with them and not with you right now." He pointed out, "Look at me doll."
You felt hesitation, deep down you hoped your feelings would be reciprocated. Then again if he did and your relationship failed you would also lose a dear friend in the process, something you did not want to face.
"Please..."
With those simple letters you were always a sucker for him.
Giving in, you tilted your head to look at him in the eyes. His blue orbs shining brightly as he looked down into your beautiful (eye color) orbs.
"I really do, like you (name)."
Your eyes widened at his confession, you were too stunned to speak.
"I do not want you think that I'm joking around and only hope to get something from you because that isn't what I want." He sincerely spoke, bringing your face closer to yours. "I want to be with you― even if it means sneaking around and visiting you until midnight when everyone else is asleep."
"I―I like you too... I have for awhile now but I-I don't want our friendship to end if it doesn't turn out to be like how we hoped it would―"
"No relationship is going to be perfect, doll." His eyes scanned all your beautiful features from the way your dimples that rested on your cheeks when you smiled to the beauty mark you have on your (your face feature) that complimented your (color skin) skin. "I won't lie and say that I will be perfect for you because hell― I'm not! I think you deserve better than me but I don't want to keep pretending like I don't have feelings for you."
"Honestly..." a faint smile rested on your lips, "Even if others confess to me I would tell them no... because you are the only one I want to sneak around with in the middle of the night."
"Are we... giving this a chance then?..."
You nodded, "I want to."
You never thought that it would be possible to see Dabi smile so big. It wasn't the same smile he gave you whenever he saw you, it was different. This smile actually reached his eyes.
He demonstrated actual happiness.
With wide smiles you both leaned in, feeling your noses bump against each other before your lips finally connected as one.
Your eyes closed trying to remember this moment, your first time kissing one another with no intention of it going over board. It was a kiss between two people that cared deeply about each other.
Dabi could feel his heart racing rapidly, feeling it thump against his rib cage. It was scary to him, knowing he now had someone important in his life that he knew he needed to protect at all costs. Without a doubt it may bring chaos and put him in danger but that didn't matter to him. All that mattered was that he had you, you were finally his.
After a minute of slow kissing you both pulled away, resting against each other's forehead with heavy breathing.
He smiled widely and pecked your lips, "You're so damn beautiful."
A villain and a hero in training, who would have thought.
