Sympathy for the Devil (Dabi x fem reader fanfic)

All-in

Y/n's POV:

The next morning after I got ready for the day ahead I decide to go down for breakfast since I haven't eaten in a while, its not that I couldn't find food, its just I rarely have the stomach to eat now a days... 

 I take the elevator down into the lobby where I sit at the bar. I order a mimosa - completely forgetting the food - then I sat back and observed my soroundings.

I noticed a group of what looked like Yacusa lingering a few seats away from me, I gasp as one of them moved to reveal - Dabi I think as I note his appearance;  his trademark purple burn scars on his neck up to his cheek bones and under his bright blue eyes - scars held together with surgical staples that gleamed in the light and would look ghastly on anyone else but somehow made him even more... attractive.  His jawline and cheekbones were sharp and his overall physique seemed toned and muscly.

I didn't realise that I was staring now until He swivelled in his seat and locked eyes with me, I gaze and into his stone cold eyes of deep azure and feel myself fall into an abyss...

"Oi! you there! eyes down!"

A sharp loud voice brought me back to reality, I try not to look bewildered as the speaker was a big man who I assumed was a bodyguard.

"hold your horses babycakes!"

I snap at the bodyguard in irritation, the big man look startled and was about to retort back when a deep cold voice dripping in mockery drawled;

"stand down army boy, at ease"

Chastened, the bodyguard stepped back showing Dabi who then leaned onto the bar bench; bringing him closer to me. 

His cold eyes burning with fiery strength as he said in a mocking tone that barely disguised the dangerous undertone;

"You seem new around here doll so word of warning, no one is permitted to stare at me so disrespectfully... see now I have such a weak ego and it would hurt my feelings."

Dabi said mockingly as he leaned in even closer to me our noses almost touching, his hand generated flickering blue flame that reflected on his eyes;

"and if that etiquette is... breached once again, you'll find these flames of mine turning that great piece of ass to ash... understood?"

He leered at me with a menacing look in his eyes. I try not not to look daunted as I raise my eyebrow at him as I retort with a hint of sass;

"I'd like to see you try staples"

Dabi broke his intense gaze and smirked at me, as he straightened up and turned to his bodyguard saying;

"I like this one"

before giving me a wink that I responded to with the finger motherfucker I think hot motherfucker though... did I just think that? Fuck, I shake my head scolding myself keep your head in the game bitch.

-----Y/n's POV (time skip later that evening)

Heads snapped in my direction as I walked into the lobby slaying my outfit into next week. I could sense all eyes on me as I walked slowly towards desk lady presenting her with the golden poker chip I liberated from one of the crime lords attending tonights poker game. 

Mrs desk lady looked at me with fear in her eyes the vestiges of my quirk activating again, 

"b-but ma'am I-I didn't receive word that you were attending tonight" 

I stare at her intently until she caved and said with her head down

 "of course madame, this way" 

she led me down a grand staircase and into an elevator that went down into what seemed the bowels of hell.

 The elevator doors opened to reveal an underground club complete with a classy jazz band and shady characters. 

Desk lady  led me through the crowd and into a a quieter room where a group of Japan's most infamous crime lords dealt out the poker game. 

"Well well well we meet again doll"

 A figure shrouded in shadows spoke to me in a familiar deep husky voice. Dabi, head boss of the Yacusa I thought we meet again. 

"What's the matter doll? cat got your tongue?" 

He said as he leant forward, the dim lights catching on his staples, his eyes cold and calculating...

Fuck you I scolded myself, keep your head in the game damn you. I recover quickly as I ignore the jibe and address the whole table with the same playful spirit; 

"Hey boys got room for one more? I've always been a sucker for a high stakes game of poker" 

Dabi cocked his head his enchanting blue eyes locked with my own cat like eyes. I licked the lollipop in a suggestive manner making him raise an eyebrow and look away.

 "Very well since you've bothered to make it this far, we'd be honoured to play with Y/n L/n, 'The Ravager', maybe we can make a deal that benefits both of us by the time I win the game." 

He gave me a knowing smirk as I stiffen from the sound of the nickname villains called me a while back in deference to my thirst for the destruction of those who've wronged me. I toss my head and slid into a vacant seat, 

"whatever, deal me in."

Dabi was quiet as the others on the table introduced themselves; the spiky haired blonde with red eyes introduced himself as Bakugou, the green haired crazy eyed guy introduced himself as Deku, and the guy with the red and white hair sporting a scar on his left side said he was called Shoto. I couldn't help noticing that Shoto's left eye was the same as Dabi's - were they brothers?

The game progressed with the stakes getting higher and higher, so far I've been doing fine thanks to my quirk used in small moderation so as not to alert them. "ten grand in plus thirty of your men on my call" said Bakugou to Deku who let out a deranged giggle;

"very well."

 Dabi then spoke to me; 

"before we raise the stakes I don't think you should be allowed to be using your quirk on us whatever it is, its getting irritating."

Shit. How the fuck did he know? Fuck don't let him see your surprise I tell my self as I say to him innocently; 

"I would never dream of using my quirk on such honourable players like yourselves. And even if I was using it what could you do against that?" 

Dabi gave me his smirk; the kinda of smirk that said I can see right through you, god I hated that smirk it didn't help that it made me weak at the knees. 

"I know you wouldn't dream of it doll I know you're smarter than that, but just in case let me introduce a friend of mine."

 As he said that a hulking man dressed in black came in and stood behind him. Suddenly I felt my quirk loosen its hold on the room and slowly dissipate. Shit the big guy's quirk is probably dampening my powers  - I was fucked. 

Playing it cool I leant back even further into my chair, don't give him the satisfaction of seeing me suddenly helpless I told myself, I saw him raise an eyebrow (which seemed like the only emotion he conveyed) and looking at me with grudging respect. 

"Lets do this" 

I say giving everyone on the table a challenging look as I push all my poker chips in the middle; 

"all in."

 The game has just begun.
