No... No... NO! Stop it! Stop it now! Don't take him away from me!

Thrashing around, Shigaraki hits his arm on his bedside table. This shocks him awake and leaves him laying startled for a few seconds before his eyes clear up. Sadly this doesn't last too long as they well up with tears.

He is the type to cry in an almost absolute silence, and sometimes gets frustrated about it. He often wishes there was a place in which he could go just to let everything out- vent, yell, scream, maybe even talk to someone. But there was no hope in his heart he would ever find a place.

He struggles to untangle himself from his blanket as he slides off the bed and falls onto the floor. Giving up he stays laying on the cold wood and curls into himself.

At this point, he was scared into little space. He wasn't sure what was happening and he wasn't sure where he was- all he knew was his father had been taken from him.

A knock on the door was heard.

"You good? I heard something fall. We don't need an injured dude fighting next week."

"I'm... okay..." he sniffled.

"Doesn't sound like it, not gonna lie. Can I come in?"

Hesitant, Shigaraki nods his head before realizing Dabi can't actually see him.

"yeah."

"Alright I'm going to open the door." The door creaks open to Dabi standing slightly confused, "Uh, need help there?"

"Yes please."

"Hah, alright." He lifted the blanket with relative ease and sat on the floor next to Shigaraki who sat up from his laying position.

"Mind telling me what you were on the floor for? Or is it too embarrassing?"

The little one shrugs and looks down.

"You're not usually this quiet, are you feeling alright?"

Another shrug.

"Well, I don't think it's good to keep it to yourself. I'll stay here for a while if that's what you need but I can also leave and come back later."

That's not what Shigaraki wanted. He wished Dabi could read his mind and be a little more persistent. Shaking his head he looks up at the taller man.

"I had a nightmare..."

"Oh, well that's not too bad is it? You know it's not real right?"

"It felt real."

"Well it's not. What was it about?"

"My real papa was being taken away..."

"Oh, I'm sorry you had to see that..." a moment of silence. "Do you want... a hug?"

"Mhmm." Shigaraki wasted no time to lean into Dabi's chest.

"If you ever have another nightmare I'm here for you alright? We all have our fair share of bad stuff."

Again, they sit in silence. However, this is a nice silence. Both Shigaraki and Dabi feel comfortable with each other, and appreciate that they are able to be so open with each other.

"I don't like the bad stuff..."

"I know. I know... but there isn't really anything we can do right? We fight in order to maintain our ideals, whether the majority of people agree with it or not. There is a reason we are here babe."

"...Thank you. Tha's make me feel better." To be fair, little Shigaraki didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but still felt comforted nonetheless.

"Of course, it's what I'm here for." Yes, Shigaraki can be quite the cold jerk to Dabi, but this is a different circumstance. Right now, they are on equal grounds. Both vulnerable, both willing to spill everything out onto the table.

"If you don't mind me asking, does this happen often?"

"Mmhmm... and 'den I wake up and feel small..."

"Hm? Small? What do you mean?"

"I don't know. Jus' small." He kicks his foot up in frustration.

"Alright alright I'm just trying to understand... kid." The little ones looks up- happy with the little nickname. "Ah you like that huh? What else do you like when you feel 'small?'"

He looks back down and thinks.

"Candy?"

"I like candy too- that's something we have in common. What else?"

"Um.. games!" Starting to get excited now, he raises his voice.

"Yeah, games are fun! We can play some fun games together sometime. Anything else bud?"

"I love my stuffies~" he cuddles into Dabi more thinking about his precious stuffed animals.

"That's really cute- do you want to get them now?"

"It's okay, I have dada now."

"Uh- yeah, you have 'dada' now... damn it you're adorable" he ruffles the little one's hair before hanging his head back in awe at how he was acting. Meanwhile, Shigaraki grabs his hands to play with.

"Ooo dada your arms are purple!"

To be frank, Dabi was startled.

"You don't have to touch my hands, they probably scare you-" he goes to hide his wrists in his sleeve.

"No dada! 'is bewy pwetty!" he quickly grabs his hands again petted the textured scars.

And with that, Dabi started to tear up. He's spent so much of his life despising his past and how he looked, but he realized with Shigaraki, he might be able to see some light in this dark and ruthless world.

"...Thank you little one."

I'm gonna cry why do I do this to myself 🤧Hope you enjoyed!
