"DABI! BABY, I'M HERE!" Instantly, Dabi flinched with disgust at the nickname, y/n prancing down the alley to him. "Hi!"

"You don't need to call me...b...baby." He mumbled, watching her jump on top the dumpster lid. "Just call me Dabi, like you normally do."

"So no objections to us dating?" She smirked, her eyes slanted flirtatiously.

"...Y—"

"Never mind." She interrupted, lifting her head.

Dabi snickered, rolling his eyes. "Whatever."

"I actually had an idea for our first date!"

"What?"

"A date! I wanna go to the diner down the block! But we can't go today. I'll be busy, so I have to leave a bit early. How does Friday sound?"

"We are not calling it a date. But if you'll pay, sure."

"Gold digger." She teased, reaching into her bra and pulling out her cigarette case.

Under his mask, he could feel himself smirk at her joke, which instantly shocked him. He licked his top teeth, lightly shaking his head. Seriously? I found that dry joke funny? I cant believe I laughed at something she said...

Suddenly, a faint meow came from around the corner of the alley, Dabi and y/n turning to the sidewalk to see a small orange cat strut into view.

Y/n sharply gasped, dropping her cigarette and jumping off the trash bin. "A cat!!" She shrieked, bending down to the ground and slowly walking towards it. "Hereeee kitty kittyyyy." She whispered, clicking her tongue.

"Don't touch that thing. It might have rabies." Dabi cringed, watching y/n kneel to the animal.

Unexpectedly, the kitten jumped straight into her arms, y/n gasping in delight. "It likes me!" She squealed, turning to Dabi as she coddled the cat in her arms.

He noticed her eyes physically shine in pride, her swaying her body back and forth. He scoffed. "You like animals?"

"Of course I do. They're way better than humans." She explained as she walked back to him, scratching the top of the animals' head. She then held the cat under its arms, facing it to Dabi. "Wanna hold it?"

The cat bared it's fangs at Dabi, hissing loudly. He turned away in irritation. "I'm good, thanks."

"Hm, I guess it doesn't like you." Y/n muttered, turning the cat to face her. "Aren't you just a pretty kitty?" She cooed.

Suddenly, the cat struck its paw at y/n, scratching her face. "Ah!" She panicked, dropping the cat to the ground.

"What the—Did it scratch you?" As soon as Dabi asked that, his eyes looked down at the cat, watching it run out of the alley. And in its mouth...

was y/n's eye patch.

When Dabi's eyes turned back to y/n, he could see strands of her hair fly in front of her now exposed eye, before revealing what was behind it.

His blue eyes widened in shock through his sunglasses, her staring back at him with two eyes.

"...What the..."

Y/n blinked at him a few times, before realizing she could see him much more clearly. She slowly lifted her hand to her eye, feeling around it to make sure her eye patch was actually missing. "...Eh?...It took my patch!" She whined, looking frantically around the alley for the cat culprit. "That bastard stole it!"

Dabi was too focused on her eye, him frozen in shock. He witnessed as the symbol slowly rotated in her eye. ...The yin and yang...is her eye?

Y/n sighed in defeat. "Dammit...Guess I'll have to get a new one..." She then turned back to Dabi to be met with his intense glare that could be felt behind his shades. "...What?"

"...Wanna talk about it?" He asked in a sassy tone, as y/n was acting as if her eye was completely normal.

"Huh??...Oh! My eye? Yeah, I dunno. I was born with it." She shrugged, giving Dabi a bland answer that he didn't expect.

"Though," Y/n placed her hand over her right eye, using it as a temporary patch. "when I keep it uncovered for too long...the Yin takes over my whole eye, and my barrier gets a little out of hand."

Dabi slouched. "You didn't think to mention that first?" He seethed through his teeth, leaning down at her.

She giggled, turning back to the dumpster and retrieving her cigarette case. "I gotta jet. It's not safe for me to be out long without my eyepatch." Y/n waved with her free hand, leaving the alley.

"...Cyclops."

Y/n stopped just before the pavement, turning over her shoulder with raised brows. "Yeah?"

"...When Yin takes over, you said your barrier gets out of control...What does that mean?"

Y/n gave a half smile, but it also showed a hint of pain. "...Think of a mini mushroom explosion...Every thing around me but myself gets destructed...Instead of my barrier being a wall...

it's a bulldozer."

And with that, y/n left Dabi alone in the alley. He looked down at the ground, bringing his mask down to his chin.

...So she's even stronger...What am I, fighting against God?
