Marionette and the Blue Demon (Rewritten)

Chapter 26 Angel Kisses

-Airmed-

I had my head down as the door opened. There in front of me was an outline of purple skin. At first, I was shocked but then it turned to embarrassment.

There stood Dabi. He stood there with his back to me naked, and dripping wet. His skin was covered in large burns, staples rimmed the outline of those burns as if they were trying to keep the skin from lifting. Bones poked through his lien skin showing he wasn't built, but there was just muscle clinging to the bone.

My eyes wandered downward, burns ran down his back, down his legs. But on the way down I saw his tight little butt. It was like a small peach, pump and round.

I could feel the heat in my cheeks rises as well as my ears started burning. He started turning around and then he saw me. Our eyes lock and I felt like I was on fire.

At first, his expression was shocked but then it settled into more of an aloof expression. Before I could let out a sound I saw a smirk grow on his half-burned face.

"Like what you see, mouse?" His voice played like a sultry cord. I could feel my eyes widen and finally, that squeak came out with a rush of air. I was about to slam the door shut when Dabi reach out and grabbed the door.

I was stumbling backward as he was coming onto my side still dripping wet. My eyes were locked on his face, trying to avoid looking any farther down. My heart was pounding in my chest to the point all I could hear was my heart.

We made it to the middle of my room, there were wet footprints that followed and lead to the bathroom. Dabi's cyan eyes looked like they were devouring me, but they slowly changed. The cyan eyes that were glazed over with lust came into focus.

"I...I'm sorry. I..." I was tripping over words like the air in my lungs wouldn't come out. He raised his hand. I flinched thinking he was gonna hit me.

Slamming my eyes shut and curling up my body without thought, I heard his cool voice. "Turn around and strip." I felt my heart stop completely.

I pried open my eyes to see his finger sping like a circle. "You saw my butt now I get to see yours." The look on his face was like he was half serious.

"But I." I was trying to fight back but he stopped me.

"Fair is fair."

I took in a shaky breath and turned around. With shaky hands, I crossed my arms and grabbed the hem of my shirt. I lifted a small amount of my shirt before he heard Dabi say something.

I stopped and turned my head to see him. He had his face in his hand and was about to turn. I swallowed hard and spoke out.

My voice was nothing but a high squeak. "All's fair in love and war." I took off my shirt and unhooked my bra. It dropped to the floor, as I placed my hands on the hemline of my shorts. Granted I needed a shower my clothes were covered in dirt and blood.

There I stood curling up my body slightly like I was trying to cover myself up. I heard Dabi gasp softly.

In my head, I was thinking of all the things I already hated about my body. I was a bigger girl. I had love handles everywhere. I had a tummy that hung. I had a set of back rolls.

I could feel my lip quivering, holding my breath, thinking he's gonna think I'm disgusting. I could hear him move closer as I could feel his body heat close to mine.

I felt his rough hand gently touch my shoulders. His fingers danced on my skin as if he was following a pattern. "You have a lot of freckles on your shoulders." My skin prickled under his touch. "They are very cute."

All the air escaped out with a sigh. I couldn't help to think about the one person who was nice to me from my father's side. "My grandmother said that freckles are angel kisses."

I could hear his breath out with an "mhmm." My arms slowly loosen around my chest and I tried to relax. "I wished I had a grandma like that." I turned my head as if I was trying to see his face. But my red hair blocked him out of view.

"Sadly monsters don't get happy endings." I heard him mumble. Without even though I quickly turned around and grabbed his face in my hands.

Though he was a head taller than I was, I still made him look down at me. "Dabi... You are NOT a monster." I was scolding him... I was scolding him, naked.

When I realized what was going on I saw his eyes drift down. Once again I turned red and dropped his face to cover myself. I turned away from him trying to make my heart not explode.

"Heh, you got some nice tits and a fat ass." I could hear him teasing but I was too embarrassed to come back.

"Yeah sure but I'm fat, I'm disgusting...I'm"

"Stop." His word was sharp and almost downright terrifying. My body curled up, making my back arch hide my front. "Airmed, you are fucking gorgeous to me." My breath hitched in my throat. "if you're disgusting then I must be a monster." I slowly opened it slightly to look at him.

"But-" he shook his head.

"You have scars on your back like you were sent from heaven. You do have a heart of an angel. But you're stupid and naive. You let people pull you out of the sky. You let people clip your wings."

I could feel tears start to make their way into the corner of my eyes. But those scars weren't necessarily mine, to begin with. They were Emily's.

I turned around and looked at him. "They aren't mine." Finally, the tears rolled and my voice cracked. I raised my hands to rub the tears away. His face was emotionless but his eyes betrayed him. I breathed in deep and started hitting his chest, screaming out.

"They aren't even mine." My body slid down his as he held me in his arms. I finally started to sob. Dabi rocked me back and forth. He rubbed his hands on my back and shed me, trying his best to comfort me. We sat there, him waiting for me to cry it all out.

After some time he lowered his head. "Those aren't the scars I'm talking about." He whispered into my hair. I sniffed hard and pulled back slightly so I could see his face. His arms dropped from me and one hand raised to touch my cheek.

"The scars I'm talking about are hidden." His voice was very soft. But I was confused about what he was talking about. "The ones that lay behind those blue eyes of yours. There are plain as day to me."

I started at him still slightly confused. I was about to look away when he pulled on my chin to make me look at him again. His eyes locked on me like he was trying to study me.

I could feel his thumb run on my skin wiping away the wet trails. Slowly his eyes slightly closed and he moved his face closer to me.

My heart started to pound. Was he gonna kiss me!? I closed my eyes and was about to lean into his kiss, but sadly. It never came.

I kept my eyes closed and then I felt the coldness of the room. I opened my eyes to see Dabi standing with his back to me.

He turned his head just enough for him to look at me. Once again his face was stoned and didn't show anything. But his eyes swirled with so many emotions.

It felt like my heart had just completely stopped. Why? Why did he stop? He opened his mouth. "I'm sorry." His words were deadpanned and empty.

My heart shattered. He turned and walked through the bathroom and closed the door. I couldn't breathe. I felt like I was choking. I felt like I was dying.

I let out a scream and fell over. Curled up naked on the dusty, cold, wooden floor. I made a promise and then this time, I'm the one that didn't break it.
