This ended up being an extra long chapter. I didn't know where to split it at. Enjoy!

"Angel as much as I love this, I don't want us to crash." He was doing his best to hurry up and get home while Ayla was sitting in his lap kissing his neck. He had his hand up her dress grabbing her ass but he wanted to give her his full attention.

Ayla pulled back, "I didn't even know it was possible to miss someone you don't actually know."

"You missed me?"

"Of course I did but I am mad at you" she pouted.

'Oh this look is going to be the death of me' Dabi thought. "I'm sorry I left you alone. I was stupid and just thought ... I was stupid."

Ayla furrowed her brows "don't call yourself stupid. Even as a joke."

"Hey," he kissed her "I only meant that I made a mistake and let ... I got jealous ok."

"Jealous of what? Of who?"

Dabi blushed a bit, "I don't want to talk about it. It kept me away from you, away from getting to know you."

She kissed his cheek "there isn't anyone in my life .. before I met you I was alone. I've been on my own for a long time now."

"But you still love someone," the words left before he could stop himself. He didn't want to look at her, afraid to see her reaction.

She was confused and didn't know how to answer. She slid back into the passenger seat, "what do you mean?"

He let out a sigh, he should have just kept his mouth shut because the mood just flipped the switch. "Nevermind, don't worry about it."

"That's two" she said with an exasperated expression.

"What do you mean two."

"I don't like to be dismissed. Not by someone that I care about."

They pulled up to his place, "ok but can we talk about it inside. Please?"

She nodded, "I'm gonna take a quick shower first and then we can talk."

"Yeah, ok." This was not how he thought the night was going to end up. Honestly he didn't think they were going to sleep together at first either. His goal was just to get her out of that club. When she kissed him he felt a wave of electric pleasure go over every inch of his body. His mind went blank and all he wanted to do was hold her close and feel every part of her body. All these thoughts flooded his head and he NEEDED her more than just for a night of pleasure, his soul yearned to bond with her. He walked into his bedroom to change and saw a gift on his pillow. It was a black box with a blue ribbon with a small note.

Dabi,
I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me. Also Happy Birthday, Gem told me. She said you don't celebrate it, hope this is ok.
♡ Ayla

"She never knows when to stop talking," but he smiled. He set the card down and opened the gift box. He pulled out a hand carved music box. There were small flames that turned into butterflies on it, beautiful and simple. He opened the box and had to wind it up.

If he was able to cry this would be one of those times. That song ... how ... no one knew not even his siblings. His mother use to sing this to him (she changed a few words) when his father pushed him too hard and he was crying in pain. After she cleaned him up she would hold him and would softly scratch his head and sing this to him. She always made him feel loved. He was lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Ayla knock.
