10. Sleepover

"Hey, pay attention." Dabi's finger poked your cheek, bringing you back to reality. "You're gonna miss the end of the movie."

"Oh, yeah, sorry." You sighed, looking back at the screen. You had been deep in thought about what Tomura had said. He hadn't spoken to you yet and it was starting to stress you out. What could be so dangerous that you couldn't be around him?

You and Dabi sat on the couch together while Toga sat on the floor in front of you. Twice was fast asleep on your beat up recliner. It was a chill night aside from the extreme sci-fi violence taking place on the screen. Dabi put his hand over your eyes as a particularly gruesome part happened in the movie.

"Heyyy, I can't see!" You whined at him.

"Can't let you get nightmares." He teased.

"Oh shut up." You said annoyedly.

"Nah, I think I'll keep annoying you. It's fun." He smirked.

"How am I supposed to pay attention if I can't see!"

"Wait a moment..." he paused, then uncovered your eyes. "Okay, all clear."

"You are an idiot." You glared at him.

"I know." He stuck his tongue out at you.

"You guys are adorable! SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Twice yelled in his dual personality.

"Twice! Want some popcorn!" Toga offered him the bowl of buttery goodness.

"Thank you Toga! I'M A SLUT FOR POPCORN."

It felt good to have your friends chilling in your apartment on a windy spring night at three in the morning. Still something was missing. A part of you wished that Tomura was here too. Even though he was grumpy and sullen most of the time, you still enjoyed his presence.

It was difficult trying to figure him out. He could be so changeable in his treatment of you, one minute he could be angry and the next, gentle. You knew he did care about you even if he didn't show it all the time. And you cared about him too. Whatever it was that made him want to keep you away for the next few days, it must be dangerous. Why else would he want you to stay away? It was worrying you, thinking about the possibilities of what could happen to him. Who knows what he was getting into.

"You've got your worried face on." Dabi said quietly in your ear.

"How do you know what that looks like?" You said in an annoyed tone, glaring at him.

"I pay attention." He smirked.

You playfully shoved him and he chuckled. The unexpected touch of his arm moving to rest behind your shoulders startled you and brought a dusting of pink to your cheeks. You didn't mind his flirtatious behavior but it messed with your head sometimes.

Twice was dead asleep once more, popcorn littering his shirt. Toga took it upon herself to arrange a blanket around him so he wouldn't get cold. Apparently a sleepover was unavoidable, it was already 3:30 in the morning. Your eyes could barely stay open to finish the movie. Dabi's warmth didn't help matters either. His quirk made him the equivalent of a human oven. The heat and the comfortable campfire scent lulled you to sleep.

Dabi was startled when you slumped against his chest, cuddling into the warmth he provided.

"Y/n?" He poked your cheek. Your only response was to cuddle even closer.

"Cute.." he said under his breath. Twice was dead to the world and Toga seemed on the verge of passing out herself. No one to help him out of this situation.
