30 minutes earlier

Bakugou and Y/N had nearly completed their first rotation of their assigned area to patrol. Y/N had eaten too much and Bakugou was stuck listening to her complaints.

"Hey asshole."

"What, dumbass?" Bakugou replied irritated.

"Can we take a break?" Y/N begged.

"Tch, no. It's not even been that long since the last break you begged for."

"But, porcupine I ate too much foooood. I'm gonna throw up if I have to move any more."

"I shouldn't have bought you those churros." Bakugou said shaking his head.

"Hey, you ate more of those than me!"

"And? I bought them didn't I?"

"You were just telling me off for eating on the job and you did the same. Hypocrite." Y/n huffed and crossed her arms.

Bakugou rolled his eyes.

"C'monn. Just admit that they tasted like heaven. The cinnamon, sugar and chocolate sauce on them was just mwah."

"Whatever, princess."

Y/n scrunched her nose. "Shut up hedgehog."

Bakugou tilted his head slightly noting the face she'd make everytime he'd call her that.

Y/n noted his stare. "What?" she asked suddenly feeling self-conscious. "Is there something on my face?"

Bakugou lifted a hand to her face, as if to wipe away a few crumbs near her mouth, Y/n felt heat slowly rise to her face when he suddenly grabbed her nose and gently yanked.

"Ow! What the hell was that for asshole?" Y/n said in outrage holding her nose.

"You're a dumbass." Bakugou calmly replied.

"What does that have to do with you yanking on my nose like its a tug of war?!"

Bakugou smirked and turned away.

"Oi! Get back here I'm mad at you!"

Y/n ran to catch up with the infuriating porcupine when suddenly a blast sounded and Y/n was thrown into the air landing on the pavement a few feet away.

His ears were ringing. An explosion. Shit, shit Y/n she was behind me. That explosion sounded close. He looked further down the street and saw one of the houses on fire and an unconscious Y/n lying face down a few feet away. He ran over to her and saw blood on the pavement next to her head. "Shit."

He turned her over gently, pulling her head into his lap. Waves of guilt crashed into him, she was running after me I shouldn't have left her behind damn it. Examining the wound on her forehead he breathed a sigh of relief seeing a shallow cut.

Bakugou gently shook her shoulder trying to wake her up. "Cmon dumbass wake up. You're fine, you're fine. Cmon."

Slowly, after what felt like ages, Y/n's eyes began to flutter open. "Wh- Bakugou? What happened? I- Oh my god is that house on fire?!"

"Hey, hey relax dumbass. There's no one there, the house was empty. It was probably a gas leak."

"Are you sure?" Y/n asked concerned.

"Look, if there was I would've heard their screams. The only one hurt is you. Worry about yourself."

"I'm hurt?" She touched a hand to her forehead and hissed in pain.

"Yes, we need to get you cleaned up before it gets infected." Bakugou said helping Y/n up keeping an arm around her waist.

"I'm fine hedgehog. Just...I need... some water." Y/n struggled to say, a headache starting to blossom as the effects of shock began to wear away.

"Water?" Bakugou asked confused.

"My quirk...it helps me heal...when I have water."

"Okay, let's get you some water. We passed a cornershop a block away remember that? Can you walk?"

"I'm fine hedgehog. I'm not an invalid, thank you very much." Y/n said pulling away from Bakugou's hold and struggling to straighten up. "I can walk." She took a few hobbling steps before Bakugou sighed and said "Yeah I'm not dealing with your slow ass." He swiftly stepped forward and picked her up bridal style.

"Hey! I don't need your help-" Y/n cried indignantly.

"I don't care." Bakugou cut in.

"Hmph. Fine." She huffed. "If you wanna act as my knight in shining armour then I'm gonna take full advantage." She said snuggling into his chest. "Onwards porcupine!" She grinned, then winced a little at the headache. Bakugou rolled his eyes but there was a slight smile on his face and relief in his eyes at Y/n's change back to her normal attitude. The terror he saw in her eyes when she saw the house on fire was something he didn't want to witness again.

Takeda groaned in frustration at seeing his home burn to the ground as well as the headache that always came after using his quirk. He witnessed the spiky blond boy help his girlfriend find some help. Just in the wrong time and the wrong place. Their outfits though. They look like...Takeda pondered.

"Thought you could get rid of me that easily could you?"

Takeda spun around to face Dabi. "Please, my quirk is literally flames. What would a mere explosion do compared to the torture I've suffered over the years? Not very bright are you? I do wonder though, how did you escape? One moment you were there and the next you were gone and here you are unscathed. Unless...Oh."

Dabi grinned, "I see. This makes things a lot more interesting." He ignited his flames once more, blocking Takeda's only exit from the alley they stood in with a blue wall of flame. "It's your lucky day, prick. I've decided I'm not going to kill you. You're far too useful to me alive."

"Too much of a wimp to kill me, scarface?" Takeda snarled.

"Quite the opposite I would love to kill you, snake. But I have another use for you and if you value your worthless life even a bit you will obey me. Understand?" Dabi threatened igniting a flame in his hand and burning off the sleeve of Takeda's shirt.

Takeda swallowed. "What are you going to do to me?"

Dabi smirked. "Don't worry I won't hurt you. Well," Dabi paused for a moment letting the flame in his hand grow hotter and brighter, "just a bit."

His hand closed around Takeda's arm and screams filled the air masked by the roaring of the fire raging nearby.
