Achille's Heel (DabixReader)

Chapter Twenty-Four

"Dabiiii," Toga whined as she stretched across the countertop in the hideout. She was pouting at him with her face propped up in her hands. Her eyes were big and round as she stared at him and batted her lashes.

Touya scowled and rolled his eyes. He sat back in the barstool and crossed his arms over his chest. "What, brat?"

"When can your pretty girlfriend come back to visit? It's so lame being the only girl around here," she huffed.

He quirked an eyebrow at her and sighed. "She's busy...and so are we." He slipped off the barstool and stood up, walking away from her.

Toga let out an exaggerated sigh and stomped her foot against the ground. "Oh come on! I know we're busy but you're always leaving to go hang out with her. Why can't you bring her here for once?"

He paused his steps and looked at her over his shoulder. She raised her brows at him and tilted her head. A sly smirk spread across her face as she waited for his response. He sighed and shook his head before turning to walk to his room.

"I'll ask," he grumbled. She jumped up an down with glee and giggled to herself. He smiled a little, knowing she wouldn't see his face. Touya walked into his room and closed the door behind him. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand by his bed and typed a message across the screen.

Dabi: Toga was asking about you... Did you maybe want to hangout here tonight?

You: As long as you think it's safe, I'd love to!

He grinned at your message, his heart fluttering in his chest a little. He was happy to know that you trusted him. Seeing you was always something he craved, but knowing that you trusted him to keep you safe even at the league's hideout filled him with his love for you.

Dabi: I'd never let anything happen to you, doll. Meet me here at 8?

He linked the address of an abandoned building down the road from the hideout. It was a safe rendezvous for the two of you. Even though he trusted you just as much, he had to keep you safe...and that meant not letting Shigaraki know you were coming to the hideout. He hadn't been around much as of late, but your car would not be a welcome sight parked outside the hideout.

Touya leaned back on his bed, letting his head hit the pillow. He smiled and closed his eyes, craning an arm across his face. Flashes of your sweet face played through his mind. He loved you so much...and you trusted him. Maybe you could be more involved in each others' worlds than the two of you had initially thought.

Your laughter rang through the room as Toga giggled next to you. Touya was sitting next to you on the couch with his arm stretched out behind you. A small chuckle rumbled in his throat and he shook his head at the tv screen. The three of you were sitting together watching a movie. Twice, or Jin as he had reintroduced himself earlier that evening, was sitting in the floor at Toga's feet with his mask on. Every now and again, he would crane his neck back to her and pull his mask up so she could pop pieces of popcorn into his mouth. The man you'd originally met as Compress, but you now knew as Atsuhiro, sat in an armchair near the couch with his ankle propped on his knee, sipping casually from a teacup.

You looked around the room with a smile on your face. The last time you'd been here, they were all so nice, but being with them like this was different. It was hard to believe the terrible things the media said about them in villain reports. They were all like a big misguided family...Touya's family. You glanced over at him to find his entrancing blue eyes regarding you with a soft loving look. He gave you a quick little wink before turning his attention back to the movie. Your face flushed as your heart fluttered in your chest.

If only it could be like this all the time...

The sound of a door slamming somewhere in another room had everyone turning to look in the direction of the sound. Dabi sat up on the couch quickly and an agitated growl came from his throat. You turned to look at him. His face was dark, his eyes narrowed in the direction of the slamming door.

"Oh dear," mumbled Compress.

Toga's hand went to your knee and squeezed, drawing your attention. Her gleaming yellow eyes regarded you with excitement, only confusing you further. Your eyes flashed back to Dabi as footsteps came stomping down the hallway.

"What's going on," you asked softly. His eyes flicked to you briefly before he pulled you into him. Your hand rested against his chest.

Everyone was looking down the hall, waiting to see who would emerge. A muffled voice floated into the room as the footsteps grew closer. Suddenly the sound of footsteps stopped, as did the voice.

"Well don't stop the party on my account," a raspy voice grumbled. More footsteps led him into the room and your heart began to race.

You immediately recognized him...it was Tomura Shigaraki, the leader of the league of villains. His eyes scanned the room before they fell upon you. He glowered, titling his head with a scowl of disgust. He slouched and slide his hands into his pockets. His eyes flickered to Dabi as a slow smirk spread across his lips.

"Who's this?"

Toga sat up on the couch with a smile. "It's Y/N! Dabi's girlfriend," she giggled.

Shigaraki chuckled lowly and took a couple steps forward. His eyes scanned over you as he lifted a brow. His gaze narrowed on Dabi. "And who said it was ok for you to bring your toys here?"

A low growl came from Touya's throat and he squeezed you closer to him. He huffed, unamused. "She's not a toy, Shiggy. She's my girlfriend, she has a name, and I brought her here because I'm here."

"So she can turn us in when you dump her on the street?" His red eyes seemed to glow with irritation as he stared at you. You felt like your heart was going to beat right out of your chest it was pounding so hard with nerves.

"Don't talk about her like that," he choked out through a clenched jaw.

"This isn't a party palace, Dabi. You can't just bring people to our hideout," he roared, his voice rising as he pulled his hands from his pockets to flail his arms about the room.

"Tch, relax. She's not a threat," Touya said sternly. "And I'm not a fucking idiot...I wouldn't bring anyone here that I didn't trust. Don't treat me like a laky without a brain, Tomura."

His eyes narrowed on you for a brief moment before he huffed and turned around. He walked with heavy footsteps back from the direction he came and another door slammed from somewhere down the hall. The tension in the room deflated as Toga giggled, looking down at Twice.

"Wonder who pissed in his cheerios," Twice grumbled, making Toga giggle even more. "It wasn't me this time!"

The room erupted into laughter, slowly building as it bubbled from everyone's lips. You glanced up at Dabi and saw him grinning, clearly trying not to let out his laugh. The giggle that came from your lips was involuntary. He looked at you, lip quivering and twitching, and couldn't contain it anymore. You smiled up at him as he laughed, his head falling back with the sound.

He sighed and looked at you out of the corner of his eyes. Raising a brow, he turned to face you, releasing his hold on you to relax his arm on the back of the couch again. "What?"

"Nothing, I just love hearing you laugh," you said sweetly.

Touya gently kissed you against your temple and smiled softly. Toga let out a little muffled squeal. You both turned to look at her. She was gazing at you with wide eyes and flushed cheeks. You squeezed your lips together to contain your laughter at her excitement. Touya sighed and rolled his eyes, settling back against the couch. You chuckled and shook your head at him. His gaze turned back to the movie and you all resumed watching it in contented silence.
