29 - What's the Set Up

(y/n)'s POV

Shigaraki stepped away to grab another drink. "What makes you think I'll work with you just like that?" I retorted to his ridiculous idea for me to cooperate. He chuckled maniacally.

"Well you just saw what happened to that chair... and I'm assuming you don't want that happening to you or anyone you care about." He said, taking a couple steps towards me, closing the distance again. He used his thumb and index finger to tilt my chin up, forcing me to make eye contact. I inched back, fear seeping through my skin because he had two fingers on my face, three more and I'd be gone. He let go of me and stood up straight, leaving me seated with my wrists bound on the floor. "Dabi I want you to get her all set up in that spare room across from yours." Dabi let out an audible groan.

"Ugh why can't Toga do it? And why in the room across from mine? There are plenty of other places she could stay." Considering he was lowkey flirting and calling me "princess" just earlier.... he switched up real quick..

"You saw how eager Toga is to cut her up, she has little self-control. And as for why she's in the room across, I'll need you to keep an eye on her." As soon as he finished his explanation, he turned to the smoke guy and started their own conversation. Dabi rolled his eyes and walked over to me. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I tried to protest it.

"Hey I can walk on my own." I tried to tell him. But he started walking anyways.

"Shut up, or do you want me to knock you out again?" I kept my mouth shut, I'd much rather stay conscious. He kept walking us until I heard a door open, to which he set me down on the ground. I glanced around the room and saw that there was a bed, dresser, and desk; it was very plain. I just kinda blinked at Dabi, waiting for some kind of literally anything for him to say. He shrugged. "This is your new room , mine's across the hall." He pointed out the door to the doorway across that was sporting scorch marks. 

"Um.. bathroom...?" I asked.

"What, do you need to go?" He asked, seemingly annoyed. I shook my head.

"Not right now, but it might be useful to know where it is for when I do need to." He grabbed my restraints and pulled me behind him to the end of the hall where there was a locker room. I looked around and noticed that there was only one locker room, then I saw the little unisex plaque plastered on the outside of the bathroom. I looked at Dabi, with a mix of disgust and discomfort written on my face. 

"What?" Before answering, I took another quick look around and noticed that his room and my room were the only ones in this hallway. I chuckled to myself... just great... I shook my head slightly.

"So I have to share a bathroom with you? And I'm stuck in this hallway with you?" I asked rhetorically, already knowing the answer.

"Don't make it seem like that's all that bad. I'm not that bad. You could've been stuck with Shiggy or Toga." I shivered a little thinking about what would happen if I was stuck alone with Toga. 

"Sure." That's all I had to add. "Actually though, when will I get to be freed from these?" I gestured to the bonds on my wrist. 

"When we think you won't try to use your quirk and run. I have a feeling that quirk of yours can be quite strong..." 

"Okay... and when do you think that'll be?" I was a little impatient. I didn't want to be there of course but I also knew my limitations: I have no idea where I am, I'm outnumbered, and I have no way to contact anyone. He just shrugged. I sighed, turned around, and started walking. He grabbed my shoulder tightly. 

"Where do you think you're going? You can't leave my side while you're here." I rolled my eyes and shook free from his grip and continued walking. 

"I'm just going to my room. Might as well get cozy since I'm assuming the only time I can leave it is if I need to go to the bathroom." I was being snarky. But he didn't respond and instead just followed me into my room. I took a seat on the bed. Not too bad I guess. I looked up at and saw that Dabi was seated at the desk. We awkwardly stared at each other in silence for a couple minutes. "Why are you still in here?" I asked, breaking the silence since he wouldn't. 

"I told you already, I'm supposed to keep watch over you." He man-spread. Why do guys do that? I internally groaned a little. 

"Wait, all the time??" I was a little concerned. 

"Basically yeah."

"So even when I'm changing, sleeping, and going to the bathroom then???" I started kind of freaking out. 

"Basically.... I mean at least until we trust you enough not to try and leave if given the chance." He crossed his legs. 

"Okay.... and about changing..... what clothes am I going to change into." I looked around and saw that the place was completely barren. 

"If you want I can get Toga to loan you some clothes, or you can just take some of mine. Either works." Without hesitation, I immediately responded. 

"YOURS!" I practically shouted, making his eyes open wider. I let out a quiet, nervous laugh. "I just would prefer to not be stuck wearing skirts, which is what I assume Toga owns." He nodded slowly to that.

"That's fair." 

"Okay but real shit though," I paused and he gave me a confused look. I sweat-dropped. "I gotta go to the bathroom now.."
