A Tenko x Dabi Beauty and the Beast

The First Dance

Dabi was in his chambers and he was livid. 

No he was down right enraged, fuming even.

He was sitting in the bath. Normally that wasn't a reason to be angry. He liked a good hot bath just the like the next guy. The problem was he was he wasn't alone. Currently he was being aggressively scrubbed down by Spinner. And on top of the that all the other servants were present as well. At least he was behind a folding screen and they were on the other side of the folding screen to protect his dignity or at least what was left of it at this point.

"Do you ALL need to be in HERE?" an exasperated Dabi spoke peering from behind the screen. "Surely. Tenko could use some assistance in getting ready."

Dabi spoke hoping to be rid of a few prying eyes and nosy servants but with no such luck.

"Oh, you know how Magne is when she is busy creating her next look. She hates to be interrupted.  We would be chased out before we even set foot through the door." Hawks supplied. Relishing how Dabi was complaining.

"Well can't you help in the kitchens with dinner at least?" Dabi asked as a last ditch effort.

"Don't worry about the kitchen or dinner, Dabi. I left it in perfectly capable hands." Toga said with a smile. She left Mustard in charge. She wasn't too worried. After all the staff in the kitchen were capable and could prep dinner with little to no supervision. She only hoped Mustard wouldn't annoy them too much.

"Ha, I'd burn the food if I was sent to help. I mean Toga doesn't let me in the kitchen anymore." a sheepish Jin replied to Dabi's previous comment.

"Anyway don't worry about us." said Spinner as he scrubbed down Dabi's back. Being mindful of his scales.

"Yes, after all tonight is the night, Master." cried an excited Atsuhiro. "Your going to go in their and confess your love to the boy at last!"

"I feel like a damn fool." Dabi snapped as he sat immersed in a bathtub full of water and soap bubbles. Spinner lifting his right arm up high to scrub his underarm while Dabi glared murderously at him.

"Come on Dabi this is your last chance at true love. Don't be a spoilsport about it." Toga squealed loudly, bubbly with excitement.

"True love? Bullshit! Their is no such thing as true love." Dabi replied in disbelief glaring from behind the screen.

"Come on Master, you can't doubt how you feel for Tenko. We aren't blind. We know you dote on the boy." Hawks added.

"Yeah, Dabi it can't be that bad to confess how you feel. Just tell him the truth." Toga encouraged.

"I-I don't think I'm ready." spoke an uncharacteristically flustered Dabi as his other arm was lifted and scrubbed. "I wish I never brought up dancing in the first damn place. What was I thinking." Dabi grumbled.

"Oh, come now master. No sense having cold feet on opening night. Try to relax." Sako spoke with a dismissive wave of his candlelit arm.

"You don't have time to have cold feet. The rose only has so many petals left." Spinner commented as he  scrubbed at Dabi's scalp.

"Yeah, Dabi we've seen the way you two have looked at each other. You have nothing to fear." Toga added.

"Everything is ready a five course meal, flowers, romantic candlelight provided by myself. Sceptic will be tickling the ivories providing you with romantic accompaniment. All you have to do is woo him with your dancing skills and confess your love to him." Sako went on.
