(y/n)'s POV

It's been a couple of hours since I got to the League's base. This shit's boring. I've been basically just twiddling my thumbs and sitting next to Dabi in his room, as he plays on his playstation. He's been sitting here gaming for about an hour now. He's pretty quiet, rarely rages when he loses, and overall he seems like a good gamer. I guess I've been staring at him for too long cause next thing I know, he's handing me an extra controller. I take it in one hand and just look at him. He shrugs, but I sigh. Is he that dense?  "Um Dabi, I can't really play with my wrists bound." I showed him how I could barely hold the controller properly. He looks and sighs, scratching his head and getting up and walking to his door. He opens it and looks down the hall before closing it and locking the door. He comes back and carefully scorches the binding and frees my wrists. I rub my wrist and look at him in disbelief. 

"If you try to escape I won't hesitate to burn you beyond repair." He picks up his controller again and I just nod. I pick up my controller and ask him what game we're playing. "Let's start easy enough since I don't really take you for the gamer type.... we're gonna play Castle Crashers." (a/n: if you know this game, please marry me lol) We start the game and it's time to select our characters. He goes for the red one, and I pick the blue one, except he takes the controller from my hand and picks the pink one. I give him a questioning look. "The blue one reminds me of someone.." I slowly nod and acknowledge that, but really? Pink? I brush it off and just start playing with him. (a/n: we're gonna say that atm (y/n) doesn't know dabi's identity... that'll come in later)

We play for probably about two hours, until we hear a the door knob rattle. Then we hear a voice. "Dabiiiiiii why's the door locked? Is what's-her-face in there with you?" When Toga said that I realized I never introduced who I was. Oh well, if they really needed to know they would ask. Dabi through a blanket over my hands, I'm assuming to cover my freed wrists. Then he walked over to the door and locked it, only opening it a crack to talk to her.

"What do you want Toga?" 

"I just wanna say hi to her, as girls, we've gotta stick together ya know?" She said, a bright smile on her face.

"Are you going to try and cut her up?" Dabi asked, keeping the door mostly shut. Toga shook her head.

"No!" 

"Give me all the knives you have on you then. I'm sure you won't be needing them." He holds both hands out. She hesitates but glances at me and then uncovers about 10 blades and gives them all to Dabi. "Jump, I have to make sure this is all of them." Dabi throws them to the floor and crosses his arms. She obliges and jumps up and down, spinning in a circle for some reason, and nothing falls. He nods and opens the door. As soon as it's wide enough, she's running at me and jumps on the bed, sitting right in front of me. 

"Okay, I already told you who I was earlier, now it's your turn!" She seemed really excited to have another girl here. 

"Uh I'm Okumura (y/n), but just call me (y/n)." I said, small smile as a gesture of kindness. 

"Ooooo I get to call you by your first name?!?!?!" She was very enthusiastic.

"Uh yeah. I don't really like using my last name..." 

"Okay wait, how old are you?" 

"Uh, 17..."

"Oooo okay so I am older. But only by a year." She went to grab my hands, and that's when she saw that my wrists were unbound. "Dabiii you weren't supposed to undo the bindings!" He only shrugged, taking his seat next to me and starting to game again. 

"It's whatever, she won't leave. I already threatened her." I gulped discreetly. Toga nodded and went turned back to face me, looking me up and down quickly before nodding again. I quirked my eyebrow in confusion.

"Let's give you a makeover!" I looked down at myself, other than still being in my gym uniform I thought I looked fine. I glanced at her outfit, shaking my head.

"I'd really rather not, I'm comfortable in this and I don't think I wanna wear a skirt." I was trying to scoot back from her but she took hold of one of my wrists. 

"No, come on it'll be fun! Don't be a party pooper like everyone else here!" She started pulling me behind her towards the door. I tried to pry her hand off but she had a tight grip and I couldn't pull free. I looked behind me.

"Dabi!" I pleaded, trying to see if he'd help me. Before I could even blink, I felt his grip on my other wrist, keeping me in place and stopping Toga from leaving with me.  

"Toga let her go, I'm supervising and I'd rather not have to watch you guys get all dolled up or whatever alright?" I felt Toga release my arm and I rubbed the area, that kinda hurt... She sighed in disappointment before bowing for a moment. 

"Sorry (y/n), I just got a little carried away since there aren't any other girls here." I felt sorta bad for declining seeing how she was so excited... I pat her shoulder and she looked at me.

"Look, maybe we can do that later, but I'm gonna need you to be a little more gentle and calm if you wanna do things like that with me." She slowly nodded, before she got all enthusiastic again and just kept saying that she'd do her best and she'd make me, and a quote, "look like a porcelain figure". She ran out of the room, forgetting all of her knives in the process. I sighed in relief and turned to look at Dabi, who was already back to gaming. I walked over and sat next to him. He glanced at me but kept his attention on the screen. "Thanks." I said, grabbing the other controller and getting ready to play with him. He didn't say anything but out of the corner of my eye it looked like he smiled a little. 

author's note: hi hi hi, i'm back with another update. i didn't really feel like proof reading thoroughly so let me know if there are any typos or mistakes. and also, i apologize if the story is getting a little less "canon", i just want to have fun writing this so i'm feeding into my imagination more than how it would go completely based off the original (manga/show). anyways, i hope you all are having an awesome day and week. this is my last week before summer break so hopefully i can get even more chapters done for this story and my other story soon. love you guys <3
