"Are you sure? I mean. It's not that I don't believe you. It's just I know what your past was like." Dabi could tell Keigo was nervous. "We aren't even bonded yet. And I could've sworn you didn't want to bring a kid into this world. At least not like it is." Dabi gripped his forearms. "If you didn't want the kid, you could've just told me." He got up and walked out of the restaurant. Keigo quickly laid for what they ate and chased after him, but Dabi was already gone. "I never said I didn't want it. Dabi."
Dabi got back to the penthouse and marched to his room. "Woah. Dabs. What's wrong?" Shinso tried to talk to his brother. "Dabi. Fuck. Touya!" "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" Shinso backed off and called his father. Kaminari sat at the door. "Dabi? It's me. Can we talk? Please. I'm worried about you." Dabi crackled open the door and the blond in. Kaminari sent a text message to his husband and held Dabi as he cried.
Meanwhile on the phone with his father, Shinso asked for advice. "Dad. He won't talk to me." "I know. Hito. You just have to let him work this out. If need be, get the guy's name and deal with him. And if absolutely necessary, claim Dabi as one of your omegas. You know the government won't let him keep that kid if he isn't bonded." Shinso sighed. "Yeah. I know. If nothing else, Denks and I can adopt so Dabi can still-" "Hitoshi. Just claim Dabi. Don't mark him, but claim him. You know how some alphas get." Shinso hung up the phone and saw Kaminari's message. "Good. Talk some sense into him, baby." "Daddy. Dabi sad." Shinso picked up his daughter. "I know baby girl. But papa'a trying to help." "What wrong?" "Dabi has a baby in his tummy. Like papa had with you. But Dabi doesn't know if the baby's daddy wants them. So it makes him sad." Shinso tried to explain without giving away too much. "I think it's your bedtime, yeah? Want me to tuck you in and papa says goodnight later?" Nezumi nodded as she yawned.
Dabi cried into Kaminari's shoulder all night until he finally passed out. The blond gently laid him on the bed and left, but Dabi had a restless night.
Flashback:
Touya held his stomach as he walked to his mother. "Mommy." Rei picked him up. "Shh. You're ok. It's ok." "An omega? How long did you think you could hide it?" Enji marched to the two. "Enji. Please. We can't control it." A loud smack was heard as the alpha's hand made contact. "An omega child. Tsk." He grabbed the young boy's arm and pulled him to the door. "I have no use for an omega. And I will not have my name tarnished by weak blood." The door closed and Touya was left in the rain. "Daddy? *sniff* Mommy?" Touya cried as he walked away. He found himself in a back alley. "Shh. Little one. It's alright. You're safe now." "Sho! Over here!" The man looked directly at Touya. "There's two?" A baby cried in the other's arms. Touya backed away from the alpha, scared for his life. "Hey. It's ok. I won't hurt you. Are you hungry? Lost? Where's your mommy and daddy?" Touya began to cry. "I don't want to go back." The pair nodded to each other. "Can you tell me your name?" Touya shook his head. The alpha's scent was too strong. "Zashi. Your scent. Here hold this one. Let me try." The ravenette approached Touya. "My name is Shota. I work with a group of people who help others like you." This man smelled different to Touya. "Scared." "I know. But you'll be safe. I won't let anything happen to you." Touya slowly approached the omega, and cling to his arm. "There we go. Let's get you food. Zashi, call the boss. He's going to want to meet them."
Touya sat in a big chair in an office while a different man sat in front of him. "A Todoroki. Bastard actually fucking abandoned his own son." "And this one we only found after he cried. Was left in a dumpster." "The things people do to kids. Let alone a defenseless omega. Makes me sick." The two that brought Touya were dismissed. This left the boy in the room with yet another alpha, but his scent was stronger. "You can call me 'All for One'. Now. Answer every question as best you can. What is your name?" Touya held back tears. "T-touya." "Why were you in the alley?" "Hiding." "Why?" "Daddy put me outside. And hit mommy." All for One simply nodded. "Did your daddy leave the little outside too?" "No sir." "Polite." The baby cooed and giggled as All for One looked at him. "From this point on, you're my son. And this little one is your brother. You'll be cared for, and trained to defend yourself." Touya's eyes widened a bit. "And your alias will be, hmm. Let's see. 'Dabi'. Yeah. That'll work." "What's alien?" All for One chuckled. "'Alias' is a different name to be called. Kinda like a super hero." Touya giggled at the thought. "For right now though, you need food and medical attention."
End of flashback
Dabi woke up several hours later to Nezumi poking his arm. "Hey. What's up?" "Papa say you sad. You feel better?" "Yeah. A bit." "What wrong?" Dabi picked up the young girl and sat her on his bed. "My heart hurts. I like someone, but I don't know if they like me back." "That why you not 'banded'?" Dabi chuckled. "Bonded. And yeah." "Daddy say you have baby in tummy. How baby get there?" Dabi cringed. "I can't giver her that talk at this age. What the fuck do I say?" "Uh. Well. I think maybe you should as your daddy and papa how." "You no know?" "Something like that." Shinso walked in. "Zumi. What did I say about waking Dabi up? Sorry." "No. It's all good." Nezumi was sent to her papa while the brothers talked. "You ok?" Dabi only nodded. "What's his name?" "You're gonna kill him." "I'm not going to kill him. I just want to talk." "Keigo." Shinso squinted. "Last name?" "Takami. Don't hurt him too bad." "No promises. But he won't die. Stay inside. No drinking. No smoking. If you need anything, Toga will be here." With that Shinso left with Twice and Spinner. "Let's find this Takami guy."
