Ordinary - (Dabi x OC)

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Violet POV:

What would you think of me now?

Would you be proud of me? Probably not. Would you see yourself in me? Doubt it. Would you smile and tell me you love me? Maybe you would do that...

But, I'm starting to lose the memory of your smile, and forget the perfect sound of your voice. I can't feel your arms around me anymore, and I haven't thought about you as much as I should.

You're slipping away from me. I can feel it. And I can't stop it.

So, more than likely, you'd be ashamed. Rightfully so.

Regardless...I'm sorry, mom.

I am not you.

And while I don't know if that part is something I'm totally sorry for anymore, I am sorry that I couldn't carry on your legacy. I'm sorry that I couldn't live up to the expectations placed upon my shoulders and help your memory live on.

I'm sorry I let you down. And I'm sorry that I accept it, and finally give up on trying to be you.

I just can't pretend anymore. I can't be doing the ridiculous things I'm doing, and call it something you would do. I cant disrespect you like that.

I'm just sorry. I'm sorry...

I stared blankly at the spot where Mr. Todoroki's portal had been, no less than five seconds ago, still trying to catch my breath and get my bearings from the chaotic events of tonight.

Welp. I've really done it now.

How the hell am I gonna get out of this one?-no. How the hell am I gonna get Dabi and I out of this one?

Even if Dabi went to great measures to try and keep my identity safe, he's still jeopardized our safety big time by revealing himself without a care in the world. Midas has already been looking for an excuse to kill him, and what better one than this?

Even so, Dabi's words to Kaito still rang through my ears as I stared out to the rising sun blankly, wiping the blood from my nose as I saw that fake 'Dabi' grin behind my empty, exhausted eyes.

"You're dumber than I thought if you think that idiot had enough balls to come here. The bitch can't even look at her own reflection without pissing herself in fear! This was all me!"

He had no hesitation in his eyes when he spoke to Kaito. His smile was so bright and blood thirsty. His voice raspy and ready to welcome all the consequences that would be coming for him. Gladly.

He had no fears lacing his demeanor, but one.

A single one that I only realized was even there to begin with, when he looked down to me immediately afterwards-bloody, burning hands quickly smoking harder with a last push to give me the help and safety I needed.

Too ready and willing to sacrifice it all if it meant I'd be able to live another day.

He was so quick to try and protect me from Kaito in that moment-simultaneously being so quick to try and get himself killed in the process.

He's always so fast to say how much he doesn't care about me, but always so much faster to act as if I'm the most important part of his sad, little world. I don't understand.

I'd give my damn arms and legs to know what the hell was going through his mind at that moment.

Seriously. What was going through his mind at that moment? How did he believe this night would go? Did he really think that I'd get off, scot-free with no suspicion, while he takes all the heat and lets himself die?
