Achille's Heel (DabixReader)

Chapter Thirty-Two

Nearly an hour later, you hear a knock on your front door. You move from your bedroom and slowly open it. Dabi stands on the other side with one hand in his hoodie pocket, holding a plastic bag in the other. You smile at him and open the door a little wider to let him in.

He walks in and pulls the hood from his head along with pulling his face mask down. He grins at you and sets the bag down before pulling you into his arms. The warmth of his chest against your face fills you with so much comfort that you almost forgot how much you had missed him.

"Hi," he mumbles into your hair and kisses you on top of the head.

You close your eyes and breathe in his scent of charred amber and smoke. "Hi," you whisper against his chest.

Touya squeezes you tightly in a hug before letting go and grabbing your hand. He picks up the bag again and leads you over to the couch, sitting you on his lap. You smile and sniffle a little, still feeling the side effects from your earlier sob fest. He cups your cheek, wearing a concerned half blank expression, and stares into your eyes. You nuzzle into his hand and he gently strokes your cheek with his thumb.

"I brought you some things," he says, dropping his hand to your thigh and turning to the bag.

He uses his free hand to pull things from the bag. Your eyes widen when you see a big bag of assorted chocolates and a heap of your favorite candies. He also pulls a box of tea from the bag with a bottle of fresh honey.

"I um, didn't know if this would help, but Toga always asks Atsu to make her tea when she...when she's feeling like you are," he mumbles and clears his throat.

"Touya," you whisper, tears filling your eyes again.

He rubs the back of his neck and leans back onto the couch. "It's nothing. I just wanted you to feel better."

You cup his face, making his piercing blue eyes snap back to you. They relax into a loving gaze that makes your heart flutter in your chest. You giggle and smile brightly at him before pressing your lips to his. You place several kisses on his lips and lean your forehead into his.

"Thank you," you sniffle. 

He smiles and rubs his hand on your thigh softly. "Anything for my little light."

The two of you relax on the couch with cups of hot tea. You rip into the candies and chocolates, popping them into your mouth as you both stare at the movie on the tv screen. Dabi's arm is thrown over your shoulders and he gently caresses your arm while you lean into his chest. His warmth soothes your heart and calms you. He sits silently next to you, chuckling or scoffing every now and again at the movie.

"This guy is an idiot," he scoffs at the protagonist.

"Why do you say that?" You giggle and say around the candy in your mouth.

His blue eyes roll dramatically and he motions to the tv. "Because he shouldn't be such a fucking coward. Clearly, he has a thing for her. They made that painfully obvious," he grumbles. "But he's holding back because what? He's afraid of what others will think? What an idiot." He shakes his head.

Your face flushes slightly as you can't help but think of similarities between you and the guy on the screen. You and Dabi sneak around, too. But it's because you have to, not because you want to. If it was possible, you'd love to show him off to your friends and your family. 

Family...

How would his family react knowing that Touya was still alive? How would they treat him, knowing his past and his criminal history? Would they lock him up and take him away from you? Or would they forgive him for his actions and help him move forward with a new life?
