I will take care of you.

Home.

✨Dabi's POV✨

I could tell how uneasy he was even now. I drove us from the auction up to my home, he looked surprised to see the big house as I pulled into the driveway. His body was trembling as I got out and went to get him from the car.

"We are alone, and I am still not going to hurt you. I promise you have nothing to worry about." I assured picking him up from the passenger seat. "I'm going to take you to my room... and I'm going to run you a bath, okay?"

He nodded timidly into my chest, his small hand squeezing my shirt as I moved through the house now. He looked a bit panicked as I set him on the bed. I sighed kneeling in front of him, I knew I needed to be patient with him.

"My name is Dabi by the way... I feel that I forgot to introduce myself due to that scumbag picking on you." I sighed, "You can call me whatever you like. I'm going to treat your wounds, and get you taken care of for the time being okay?"

He nodded, "I'm K-katsuki..." he looked away, "but you can c-call me whatever..."

"What would you prefer I call you?" I asked, gently cupping his face in my hand to get him to look at me.

"I... I don't care..."

"Then can I use pet names for you?" I asked.

"L-like what?"

"Like kitten, or baby boy... maybe sweetheart?" I smiled watching his pale cheeks turn a light shade of pink with each name.

"Th-that's fine..."

"Okay, sweetheart..." I caressed his cheek a moment, "I'm going to run you a bath now okay?"

He nodded, but still looked nervous as I stepped away. I could feel my inner alpha growling to go back to him. I wanted to make him better... I wanted desperately to heal him, and make him smile... I want to care for him.

I ran the bath, and set out some fresh towels before returning to him. He looked relieved to see me, but still flinched when I approached. I gently picked him up from the bed and carried him to the bathtub, letting my cloak fall to the floor.

"I-it's not hot???" He asked looking up, he seemed... scared of the bath.

"Not to hot, warm enough to sooth your joints. Nothing harmful I promise." I said softly gently setting him in the tub.

I watched his surprised look as he slowly relaxed into the water.

"I know you won't trust me right away... we will work on everything together..." I said softly as I grabbed some of the sweet scented soap I had.

"Wh-why are you being nice... no one is n-nice to me..." he said as he looked down at the water.

"Life hasn't been easy for you because of the people forced into your life... starting with your family I assume... and going through scumbags that abuse omegas for the hell of it." I explained, "I don't believe a human of any class should be owned or a slave. It's disgusting to me... not to mention an Alphas instinct is not to harm an omega but to protect them. Omegas are typically sweet, and nurturing themselves... and they are the ones that bare our children. It's wrong to treat them so badly..."

He was looking at me now with a look of disbelief and amazement. "You really think that..."

"Yes." I answered honestly.

"I... will try to calm myself... you haven't given me a reason to not trust you... I'm sorry..."

His timid sad voice made me frown, "Katsuki... it is normal for you to be afraid of a stranger who you just have to live with. I'm not upset with you at all. Now let's get you washed up so I can treat your wounds properly." I said grabbing a wash cloth.

He allowed me to wash his body without seeming too scared or upset. The more bruises and scrapes I revealed under the makeup they covered him in the angrier I felt. His body was littered in a random array of bruising, no wonder he looks like he's ready to cry all the time. After I finished up with washing him I offered him my hand.

"Y-you'll get wet... I can't st-stand properly..." he whimpered.

"That's because of your bruising on your legs... it's not your fault, and I don't mind if I get wet helping you." I said as he finally grabbed ahold of my hand and I helped him out.

I sat with him, his body getting me wet as I took the towel and gently dried his hurt body off. He looked up at me with tears brimming along the bottom of his eyes, slowly pooling and dripping down his rosie cheeks.

"Does it hurt too much?" I asked, wondering if I was drying him to roughly.

"I just... this isn't a-a trick? You're really th-this kind?" A sob escaped, making my heart feel like it had ripped in half.

"No tricks baby boy... I want to take care of you. I know it will take some time for you to adjust, and that's okay." I said softly, brushing the tears from his face.

He buried his face into my chest and I let off more calming pheromones which to my surprise caused him to lightly purr. I felt a sense of pride in being able to get him to purr like that... my inner alpha feeling very satisfied.

I finished drying him off, and carried him back to my room grabbing some clothing from a dresser and setting him on the bed.

"Lay back for me... I'm going to put some healing gel on you... it's infused with a quirk that can speed up your healing process." I said as I grabbed the bottle from my dresser.

He looked nervous as he laid on his back, I could tell he felt exposed. His cheeks were flushed, and he seemed nervous as my hands now coated in the gel started rubbing his waist. He cooed lightly, his pained expression slowly relaxing showing me it was working for him. I smiled as I finished applying it to his front half.

"Can you turn over for me on your stomach?" I asked.

His nervous expression returned but he slowly moved onto his stomach. It was worse on him back here... the back of his thighs while also bruised and had what looked like cane markings on them. I couldn't imagine someone actually canning him... he was too sweet for such a thing. The image of him sobbing for someone to stop hurting him made my Alpha growl angrily.

I rubbed the gel on his thighs, making sure to use a generous amount. After I finished I had him sit up for me and I helped him get dressed in a new pair of boxers, a pair of black sweats I had, and one of my white T-shirts. The T-shirt was a bit too big for him and draped down to his knees, even now he looked adorable.

"I'll get you some better fitting clothing later." I said, pulling a giant comforter from the closet.

"Wh-what's that for?"

"Something extra soft for you to lay on in the bed." I pulled another fluffy blanket from the closet as well and laid them out on the bed.

I had him lay on the comforter and I covered in him the fluffy blanket watching as he practically melted into it and smiled.

"I knew you would enjoy it."

I changed into a pair of sweats, and a new shirt so I wasn't wearing wet clothing and climbed into the bed beside him. He turned to face me looking unsure of himself.

"What is it sweetheart?" I asked.

"I... since y-you're being a-so nice... C-can you hold me? I... like to be held..." He closed his eyes almost like he regretted asking.

"Come here." I said softly opening my arms towards him.

I pulled him gently against me wrapping my arm around his waist allowing him to nuzzle into my body. I smiled happy that he was content.

"Get some rest..." I whispered.

He purred lightly as he drifted off... his scent showing he was completely calm... I felt relaxed enough to drift off myself knowing he felt safe here in this moment.
