Achille's Heel (DabixReader)

Chapter Fifteen

Another chapter dedicated to the lovely ZiraMommochi93 who gave me a spicy request and I just had to oblige. ;)

You asked Dabi if you could take a shower and he showed you the small bathroom connected to his room. He retrieved a bag you told him about in the trunk of your car that was packed with extra clothes and travel-size toiletries. You never knew when you were going to get especially dirty on a job and would need to freshen up, so it was something pretty customary for pro heroes.

While undressing, his arms slipped around your waist and he kissed your neck gently. His touch made you smile. "Hi," you whisper and place your arms over his.

"Hi," he whispers back against your skin. "Mind if I join you?"

You shook your head. He releases you from his grip and undresses as you step into the shower. The water hits your back and you sigh. It's been a bit of a wild morning and the water feels soothing to your stress. Touya slips in and his arms go around you again. You close your eyes and lean your head into his chest, letting him pull you into him. He kisses you atop your head and stands there holding you in silence.

He sighs deeply which prompts you to look up at him. His eyes are closed and he has a twisted expression that you can't quite read.

"Touya, are you ok?"

He blinks hard and looks down at you like your voice surprised him. "Huh? Oh. Yeah...I'm fine," he says.

You raise a brow and pull back to look at him better. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing really," he sighs again. His hands are wrapped around your waist still, his grasp firm but loving. You move out of his grip and cross your arms over your chest. He rolls his eyes and his shoulders slump a little. "Fine," he grumbles. "It's just...I feel like a complete ass."

You shake your head and it tilts in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"With my piece of shit excuse of a father," he snaps, but his tone immediately softens when he looks back at you. "I heard you freaking out earlier. I saw the look in your eyes at the cemetery...when I had that outburst and when Endeavor saw us...you were terrified. Meanwhile, I was too busy getting off on my thoughts of revenge." He runs his hands through his dampened hair.

"Oh...that." You feel your cheeks heat a little, but you shake it off. You do feel humiliated by what happened today, but there was no changing it or going back now. "Honestly the thing that worries me the most is he'll want to talk about what he saw..." You cringe remembering Endeavor's eyes staring straight into yours...while his thought to be dead son was fucking your brains out. That along with the thought of him being your boss and best friend's dad sent shivers up your spine. You shudder with the heat of embarrassment.

A light chuckle comes from Touya. "Yeah, I imagine that will be an awkward conversation. He was rushing away pretty quickly from the car," he snickers.

You groan and turn from him. "Oh god."

His arms wrap around your waist from behind and he pulls your body back into his. "Y/N." His tone is serious again. "I...I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to see me all raged out like that. But...you're the only one who can bring me back from that," he speaks through a clenched jaw. He groans and buries his face in your neck.

"Touya, it's ok. You can talk to me, you're safe with me," you say and caress his arm gently, running your fingers along his scars.

"I know," he sighs. "But I want you to feel safe with me, too. All the time." He squeezes you a little tighter and tilts your chin to him. He kisses you deeply.
