25. Vigil

  You rested your head on Dabi's chest, letting out a soft sigh. He's finally back, after his long work trip, and you've missed him. It's felt like forever, and it's all been so horrible, going through the things you have without him here. But now he is, and for the past hour or so, you've been making up for a lost time.

"I missed this." You mumble, feeling Dabi's fingers trace your shoulder gently, smiling softly. After spending so much time fantasizing and imagining, he's finally here with you, and you can't be happier. "Me too."

You hear him mumble, and you feel your eyes grow heavy, but just before you can fall asleep your phone chimes. Curious, you go grab it, seeing what the notification is. And that's when you realize it.

It's a reminder, for visiting the vigil with Natsuo today, set for two hours ago, followed by multiple missed calls and texts. You were planning on going, but then Dabi came back out of the blue. Still, you know how important this is to Natsuo, so you know you need to go, no matter what. He's been there for you, and now you need to be there for him.

Hopping out of bed, you go through your drawers, searching for an appropriate set of clothes. Dabi watches you with a puzzled look on his face. "The hell are you doing?"

"I just remembered I have to go to this thing, and I completely forgot, and Natsuo's waiting for me, fuck, fuck, fuck." You swear, rushing around your room, grabbing a sweatshirt and a bra. It's one of your nice ones, and Dabi doesn't like that.

"Can't this wait until the morning, I mean I just got back-"

"I know, and I'm sorry, but this is very important to him. I can't just ditch him. He's my friend." You interrupt him, a look of guilt and worry on your face.

"So you're just going to leave me for some brat? He's a little rich asshole, (y/n). Guys like him are all the same. He's never worked for anything in his life, and he doesn't care about you. He'll just leave you in the end." He snaps, knowing if he brings up one of your issues, it'll get to you even more.

"What the fuck is your problem? You know what? It doesn't even matter because nothing you say is going to stop me from going. You're wrong about Natsuo. He's my friend and I'm going to support him." You tell him, before getting fully dressed, and storming out, slamming the door behind you.

Dabi calls after you, but you don't answer, leaving him alone in your dorm, and going off into the night.  He groans, running a hand through his hair, knowing that he's fucked up, big time.

Natsuo checks his phone, searching for any last notifications, but seeing nothing. His heart sinks in disappointment, and he sighs, stuffing his hands in his pockets, preparing to leave. Might as well call it a night.

But right before he can even move, he sees you running over to him. You look like you're out of breath, panting heavily. Once you reach him, you double over, grabbing your hips. "I'm- Sorry- Oh, fuck give me a second."

Natsuo watches you, holding in his laughter. He can't help but let out a snicker, and after a couple more moments, you finally catch your breath, standing up straight, seeing him grinning at you.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, my boyfriend just came back home and I completely lost track of time, and I know that's a shitty excuse and the dumbass people securing this place wouldn't let me park so I had to park down the road and run all the way here and-"

"(Y/n), it's fine. I'm just glad you're here." He interrupts you, stopping your rant. "Now, follow me."

Natsuo leads you up a stone path, small candles and lanterns illuminating it. A little ways from it, you see warm lights. Once you finally make it to the end of the path, you see where the light is coming from.

There's an altar, with multiple candles surrounding the photograph of a little boy with messy white hair, pale skin, and cyan eyes. Something about him is very familiar. You can't put your finger on it. Maybe it's the blank, sad, expression he has on his face. Maybe you see it in yourself. Or someone else.

"Is that him?" You ask, your voice quiet in attempts to pay respect. Natsuo nods, before picking up an unlit candle from the bag he's holding and handing it to you.

He lights it, before lighting his own. You both stand there in silence, staring at the photo. Natsuo's hand brushed up against yours, before he intertwined his hand with yours, smiling at you. You smiled softly, giving his hand a soft squeeze, and letting him squeeze yours back.

You're just comforting him. This is something you're both doing as friends. There's no need to over-think it and make it weird...right?

Suddenly, there's the sound of bushes rustling from behind you, making you pull away from him and look over your shoulder, to find Enji Todoroki, and fuck, he looks terrifyingly intimidating. He's much taller and bigger than you imagined, and you can't help but shrink as soon as you see him.

"Natsuo, what did I tell you about having visitors?" His voice is low and stern, and you want to get out of here before you cause any more trouble.

"I think I'm going to head out, but, thank you for inviting me Natsuo. I'm sorry for your losses." You place the candle down gently onto the alter, bowing down respectively, before walking off into the night.

While you do love spending time with Natsuo, the energy there felt...tense. Way too tense for your comfort. You just have to get away.

It isn't just the tension, though. The overall way he looks is just...scary. He's huge, angry, and intimidating, and you can't imagine what it's like having him as a father.

Still, you enjoy spending time with him, no matter how little it might be. You hope you helped, but you can't help but feel like you made it worse.

Feeling your phone buzz from a notification, you glance down, checking it.

Dabi: Baby I'm sorry please come back

Dabi: I was being a total dick

Dabi: I just missed you and it's been so long since I've been able to see you

You groan to yourself, clicking your phone off. You'll talk to him later.

(A/N: Sooo shit's kinda getting complicated...yeah lol

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
