MHA Imagines ; discontinued

♣ - dabi

•this is late due to me having writers block. it's a birthday special chapter for one of my most favorite villains in my hero academia! his birthday was a week ago but, as said before, i had writers block. this isn't as special as i would like it do be but i plan to work harder for the dabi simps and kinnies in the future i promise! either way, please enjoy today's chapter!

quick disclaimer : i'd like to point out, if it isn't obvious yet, these short story chapters contain their own story line. they DO NOT follow the story line/plot i have for the imagine chapters (like the aux-list or training with chapters) what-so-ever. the imagine chapters have THEIR OWN plot/story line. i just wanted to make that clear if it wasn't understood or own!:)

genre key : i'll be home for christmas, you can plan on me

the rustle of keys dropping on the plate near the door, the footsteps of the sneakers, the creaks in the flooring as it gives way with every step. the room was dark and cold. as you flipped on the light, you half expected dabi to be laying on the couch with a magazine in his hand. however, the couch was bare. the dip from where dabi always lays was empty. making the dip more noticeable from your place at the front door.

you sighed and went to the bathroom to wash off. it was another day at the part-time job you hated. and today just happened to be dabi's birthday. but he wasn't here. he was rarely ever here on his birthday. yet you had always waited for him each night to come home from this mission. though you aren't a full religious person, you prayed every night for him to come home safe and sound. nonetheless, tonight was just the same as the others.

once you had changed clothes, you slipped down the hallway and turned off the lights. you skidded back down the hallway and slung yourself into bed underneath the covers. sooner or later you ended up falling asleep to the sound of the city outside the windows. little did your sleeping form know, dabi was on his way back home from a long overdue visit back home.

the mission was longer than he would've liked. if he was being completely honest, it wasn't benefiting the league at all. it was useless and that's all there was to it. by the time he had unlocked the door and walked into the apartment, you had been asleep for only an hour, if at most. dabi shedded off his long coat and boots as he made his way down the small hallway to your bedroom. taking off the belt, shirt, and pants his costume consisted of. exchanging them for a pair of sweats and a old t-shirt.

that's when he noticed a box on the dresser. it was rather big to be sitting on the dresser normally. curious, dabi opened the box lid to see a pair of expensive looking boots. like the ones he wore everyday, everywhere, all the time. dabi looked from the box to the bed, noticing the eye bags under your eyes he loved to stare into. knowing you had worked your ass off to get him a new pair of boots sadden him. you worked so hard, and he can't even come home as often as he'd like to.

in your half asleep-half awake phase, you felt the bed dip down from the weight of someone. when you rolled over; you saw sparkling blue eyes looking at you with adoring emotion. dabi kissed your forehead as he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close.

"i missed you, y/n.." he murmured into your neck as he nuzzled into your hair.

you were still in shock you just hugged him tighter in response. you wanted to spend so much time with him, but you knew he might be gone in the morning.

"thank you for the boots, i saw the box.." he kissed you again and smiled. you have a sleepy smile into his chest as you slowly fell asleep again, this time more comfortable and at ease. "i wanted you to be safe, happy birthday dabi..."

(this was rushed as i wanted to get something out to you guys for dabi's birthday. i'm sorry it sucks:c i will work harder in the future!)
