"Let's take a break, Mouse," Dabi says, barely out of breath. While you. . . well you can barely breathe. He's been working you non-stop. Round the clock work.

After healing from your coma, and getting back into healthy shape, Dabi has been training you. Since he can't always be there during battles, nor can anyone in the League have complete guarantee that you'll be okay by them, he's decided to teach you self-defense. He takes you to the ware house where he works you till he has to carry you back to the base and into bed. It's been roughly two weeks of non-stop working and training. At least you can throw a decent punch. But in the end, he's mostly relying on your quirk to save you. Since it doesn't take much energy, you can practice.

However, you hate practicing it. You don't want to hurt people. And Dabi knows that. So, what does he do? He brings in criminals, people who hurt other people. And he tells you, over and over again that they aren't shit. And they deserve the pain. But the thing is, you're a villain. So what makes what you do more justifiable than them?

You've gotten more practice, and you've learned how to control it. Sort of. At first, you couldn't figure out to manage the levels of intensity. It's still hard. Sometimes you up the power too fast or too much. But you refuse to kill the people Dabi brings in. So he drops them off somewhere and calls the police then leaves before they arrive.

As for the self-defense, you've learned where to hit to get a man off you. Especially someone bigger and taller. It's not as hard as it looks but you fear that if someone were to grab you like that, you'd forget out of fear. With Dabi, you know it's coming. You're prepared. But in real life, who's to say you won't freeze out of fear.

Taking the water bottle from Dabi, you sit down, trying to collect your breaths. He smiles and sits down next to you.

"You're doing good, Little Mouse," he says.

You just frown and sigh. You appreciate the work he puts you through, it makes you stronger, but you don't want to hurt people for the fun of it. That's not who you are, even if you're in the League now.

"Let's do some laps next. After that, we're going to learn how to jump from building to building."

You freeze, whipping your head to look at Dabi, who smiles coolly at you.

"Don't be so scared, Mouse. You'll be fine."

"What if I fall?" you ask.

"You won't."

"But—"

"We won't start with real buildings. I'm not fucking stupid, Doll. We'll start in here and when I think you're ready. We'll go to the city."

You nod, still afraid and nervous about jumping from building to building.

During the few weeks that he's been training you, he's always been near you. No matter what. You're thirsty and need water at three am? He's coming with. You're going for a walk with Toga? Well so is he. Shigaraki is teaching you how to play video games? Dabi's sitting next to you. You and Twice are playing chess? Dabi's already strategizing your next move. He's like a parasite. But truth is, you love it.

But there's one thing that's pissing you off.

He hasn't even kissed you yet.

And that especially pisses you off because he gives you pet names, he cuddles you to sleep, he's started to buy, no, steal things for you, and he occasionally, when he's extremely tired at the late hours in the night, will kiss your forehead. And yet, the man hasn't kissed you. And it's pissing you off. You've known him for a few months now. You've gotten so close. But he refuses to kiss you. And it's getting extremely annoying.
