strangled

⁸not what was expected

You wake up to the sound of something banging on your bedroom door.

Your eyes squeeze tighter while you desperately cling onto the last bit of sleep you get. You're hoping that whatever is causing that noise will shut up so that you can go back into a full slumber. Letting out a groan a few minutes later when you realize the sounds won't stop, you throw the thing nearest to you at the door.

The nearest thing happens to be a lamp.

The plug rips out of the wall and the lamp flies into the wood with a harsh-sounding thud then falls onto the floor. A sound of glass breaking comes from it. You can only assume that the bulb in it had shattered.

"What the hell are you doing in there? Get out here, idiot." The villain's voice comes from the hallway. "Rise and shine. I know you have an idea as to where we can spar. That thing you did yesterday at the store was pathetic. Training probably won't even be able to help you. And that stupid handyman guy is going to be here soon."

You groan again then dig your face into your pillow. Your voice comes out muffled. "Fuck off I want more sleep!"

"You're not getting more sleep. Get your ass out here before I come in there myself."

"The door is locked!"

"Do you honestly think that will stop me?"

Grunting in annoyance, you stand up and fix the purple nightie on your body then stomp to the door. Pulling it open with so much force the doorknob slams into the wall next to it.

Dabi is already fully dressed in his tattered clothes and standing further up the hall. His back leaned against the bathroom door. As soon as the door opens he looks at you. Your hair is a mess on your head, the white side mixing in with the other. The short alluring nightie on your body is wrinkled from sleep. But despite your tired appearance, your eyes are bright and there's no eyebags under them.

He can't stop himself from lowering his eyes down to your chest. It's not really warm in here so your nipples that are poking through the purple satin material easily catches his gaze.

The next thing he can't help but look at is your legs that are mostly exposed. His body stiffens when you stretch your arms up, revealing your tight shorts underneath and visible camel toe, to yawn.

Loudly, he sucks in a breath to calm the nerves that's starting to rampage in his body, that's heating up a bit too quickly, but you mistake the sound as him laughing.

"What's so funny? If your laughing because I look exhausted then I hope you know that it's your fault. You woke me up out of my sleep with all that fucking racket you were making."

Dabi arches a thin eyebrow. "Someone's not a morning person. You should calm the attitude down before you end up pissing me off."

Your sleepiness makes his threat seem less serious than it actually is.

"Ohhh I'm so fucking scared just leave me alone and let me get more sleep!"

"That tone of yours is annoying me sweetheart." In less than a few seconds he's standing right in front of you with his scorching fingers under your chin, lifting it up lightly so his eyes can glare into yours. You try to turn your head away from him but his grip tightens to keep your head locked in position. "Are you trying to get me mad? I've been calm with you this entire time. Don't make my attitude towards you switch up now. Because if you want me to get rough then I will."

"Get off of me." You state through gritted teeth, trying to move away from Dabi but failing again.

He gets a crazed look in his eyes that instantly halts your struggling. "Why? Are you worried about what I could do to you right now? You know, your pupils are dilated so much in those pretty little eyes of yours. Maybe... it's just because you're actually scared of me..."
