Brief Him

Violet POV:

"Alright! The briefing is now in session. Let's get right down to business." I stated firmly, tapping the top of the laptop gently as I looked over to Dabi.

Regardless of his half promise to 'get serious for five minutes,' Dabi had already veered off the walking trail to our work station and back into the kitchen.

I ignored the behavior. After all, maybe this is just how he operates. If he says he's going to pay attention, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now and see how well that works.

"Don't sound so happy about it. I didn't promise a lot." Dabi mumbled in annoyance, swiping a fancy little cookie off the plate on the counter before making his way over to me at a sloth's pace.

Regardless of his nagging demands, a determined smile remained glued to my face as I quickly pulled up the briefing notes that the hero commission sent over to us, admittedly pretty eager to get things going.

"Okay, so here's what they said. Apparently, there claimed to be a sighting of Midas and his men in this little Tokyo convenience store last night." I started off, gesturing my finger on the glowing area of the digital map for Dabi to see.

Rather than take a seat at the empty chair next to me, he chose to simply invade my personal space bubble, hovering his standing body over my sitting one to look at the map.

My eyes flinched closed as crumbs of his stupid cookie fell onto my face from his hovering, causing me to spit a bit to get them off.

"So, what then? You think he's still there? No way. Fuckers like him never stay in one place for long. He was probably just taking a piss or something." Dabi remarked dismissively, taking another crunch of his cookie which caused more crumbs to fall onto my face and the top of my head.

I felt my jaw lock in irritation as I made it a point to expressively wipe the crumbs off me to give him the hint to get the hell out of the way.

"I wasn't finished talking. Do you see the area of the map this convenience store is located on?" I asked, causing Dabi to loom over me deeper so he could see.

He squinted at the map like he needed glasses, and yeah, he probably did-before his brows raised ever so slightly in realization.

"Ya. Little corner between ninth and tenth avenue. That area's practically abandoned." He pointed out, causing me to nod quickly.

"Exactly! It's a strange area to have a convenience store, right? See, the hypothesis is that this little place is just posing as a store, when it's actually a front for Midas and his men." I explained, using the laptops keys to zoom in a bit on the screen.

My fingers froze when Dabi's cookie crumbs toppled onto the keyboard now, causing me to stop what I was doing for a moment and turn around in my chair to face him.

He backed up a bit at the turning movement of my chair, yet not enough for my comfort.

His half lidded eyes bore into mine with impatient question, as he continued chewing.

"Ever thought about sitting in the chair next to me, so you stop showering my head with your crumbs?" I asked with dwindled patience.

Dabi kept a lazy hand shoved in his pocket, eating his cookie with more crunch now as he held my eye contact.

"The thought might have crossed my mind until you told me to do it." He countered nonchalantly, causing me to scoff and simply turn back around to face the computer.
