𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑽𝑬𝑫 𝑨𝑭𝑭𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 ➣ Dabi

little mouse

"You hungry?" Dabi asks, stepping into your room. You shrug and he smiles, shaking his head. "I don't know why I asked. You have to eat. Come on."

You climb out of bed and walk over to Dabi. It's been about, what, six days since you started eating? There's no big difference. Sometimes you still get nauseous with heavily scented foods so you've been sticking to soft foods. Dabi has brought in some more clothes for you that smell like something like cigarettes and smoke. Today, you put on a sweatshirt that just says Burn In Hell on the back with a few flames up the sleeves and your black jeans.

It's gotten better. The door is still locked at night but you don't have to spend all day in that room. In fact, you've been down in the bar or at the warehouse with Dabi mostly. When you're in the bar, he's mostly making you eat to build your strength up but when you're in the warehouse, your working on your quirk or watching Dabi burn bugs. Shigaraki has been patient enough to allow you to rest before he wants to take you back to the warehouse and work on your quirk so you're stronger. And he hasn't been so mean. He mostly plays on his little video game device and mumbles to himself or stares at a picture of All Might. It's kind of creepy.

Dabi mostly hangs around you. It's because you're quiet, he said. And sometimes Toga and Twice are too much for him to handle. But sometimes he's not fun to be around. Sometimes he's drinking and he just looks angry. Toga said it was family drama that no one understood because he refused to talk about it. You didn't want to pry so you just say in silence to next to him.

Dabi opens the door for you and let's you step into the bar where Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and Compress sit and hang out.

"Ah, Y/n," Compress says. "I cut myself this morning. Do you think you could heal it?" You nod. He takes his glove off and reveals a small paper cut on his finger.

Dabi laughs. "You baby."

"Hey! Paper cuts hurt!" he fires back.

"Don't abuse Y/n's power. She's got to be ready for tomorrow," Shigaraki says, not lifting his eyes from a picture.

You look up at Dabi in confusion. Tomorrow? What's going on tomorrow? How come you're hearing of this now? Shouldn't you be informed of the meetings and when missions take place so you're prepared? Depending on the severity of everyone's wounds, you need to rest so you can heal them properly and not faint.

Dabi shrugs and motions for you to sit. "Let's get you some food and then we'll discuss details on the mission."

He goes behind the bar, where Kurogiri cleans some glasses, and grabs a cheese platter with grapes and a bottle of liquor before sitting down next you in the small booth. You nod in thanks and take the small platter from him and pop a grape in your mouth. Dabi pours himself a drink and offers you a sip but you politely decline, enjoying your cheese by itself.

He tilts his head back, one arm draped over the back of the booth, above you. "We're attacking the U. S. J. tomorrow."

Shigaraki turns around. "Not we. Me."

"Okay fine. Shig here is attacking the U. S. J. with some small time villains and, my personal favorite, a Nomu. The rest of us will be staying here."

"Kurogiri will teleport us in since we know the exact location that the U. S. J. is located at. I've rounded up groups of want to be villains that will be joining me tomorrow. I don't want you to heal them. Just me and Kurogiri, if we are to get injured. Understand?"

You nod, nibbling on your cheese.

"We've been told All Might will be there and we plan on killing him." Shigaraki scratches at his neck and frowns.

You nearly choke. Dabi pats your back as you cough into a napkin. They want to kill All Might? Are they crazy? They can't kill All Might. He's indestructible. He's the number one hero who never fails to save the city when it's in a dire need of saving. No offense to Shigaraki, but you've never heard of the League of Villains until now. In fact, you never even knew Shigaraki existed. Or any of the LOV members at that. But, of course, after this stunt that they want to pull, they'll be the talk of the town. At least Shigaraki will be. Why isn't the rest of the team going?

As Dabi can somehow read your mind, he says. "I don't want to go. This one seems boring. Besides, I'll be in other missions. All Might isn't the pro hero I want dead."

You nod, returning to the food in front of you. But your stomach feels queasy. You still don't know what the U. S. J. is but it doesn't sound good. Not at all. Attacking it? To kill All Might? Why will All Might be there?

"You look like you got a lot of questions, Doll face. Go on. Ask."

You bite your lip, looking from Shigaraki to Dabi. You do have a lot of questions. You're just too afraid to voice them. Shigaraki still scares you. So, does everyone in this room, including Dabi. He's just less frightening. More comforting than everyone else in here but he's still scary. You know he wouldn't hesitate to hurt someone, possibly kill them.

He grabs a napkin, and somehow, a pen and hands it to you. "Write them down," he says.

You take the pen and write down your questions. Why will All Might be there? What's the U. S. J.? What's a Nomu? Why isn't everyone else going?

Dabi picks it up and hands it to Shigaraki. You go back to taking small bites out of your cheese, occasionally eating a grape or two.

"All Might is a teacher at U.A. A prestigious school for want to be Pro Heroes. And tomorrow they are going to the U. S. J. to train for natural disasters."

"The U. S. J. is an indoor facility to train heroes for natural disaster situations. Volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, you name it. The U.A. students of Class 1-A will be there, including the teachers Erasure-head and All Might," Dabi says. "They won't see us coming."

"The rest of you are staying here."

"Actually," Dabi cuts in. "You and I will be stationed outside the U. S. J. Hidden, obviously, so you can increase their power while they are in there." He pauses, looking down at you. "You can increase their quirks without seeing them? Right?" You nod, taking a bite out of a slice of cheese. "Perfect."

Shigaraki nods. "As for the Nomu. You'll meet him tomorrow."

You nod again. It's a lot of information to take in. Of course, you're going to be stressed. You've got to be prepared for possible, fatal injuries that Shigaraki or Kurogiri can possess. And you've got to be totally concentrated on both Shigaraki and Kurogiri at all times.

Dabi, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri go over last minutes details for the mission. You sit, nibbling your cheese so you don't eat too fast, and listening in, perking up at the smallest things. You mostly keep to yourself, sometimes looking up and listening closely. To things like "Crusty looking ass" and "Burnt bean". Things like that. Along with more information for the mission that could be vital for you to know.

After they finish talking, Dabi cups your chin and tilts your face to look at him. He smirks, leaning forward. "You're like a little mouse. Listening in and eating your cheese in little bites."

"I—," you start.

"Cute. Little mouse," he murmurs, amusing himself.

You turn away and ignore the rush in your heart and the heat in your cheeks. No. He can't do that to you. He's a villain. He hurts people. There's no way you could like that.

Right?
