An Hour Glass Of Memories

De-aged dabi pt.3?

(04:10an)

Dabi woke up with a groan and sat up. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. What happened?

He wasn't even in his own room. He was in Sako's.

He blinked his eyes adjusting to the dim light,
his head was pounding. He remembered getting into a fight. That guy had used his quirk on him... and... he'd stumbled into the bar. Yeah that was right. Then he'd passed out.

Ah, that was it. He must've passed out and slept through the night. But that didn't feel right. He decided to check the date.

That would confirm if he had finally lost it or not. He picked up his phone that was laid next to him on the floor and checked the date.

What had it been when he'd passed out? Oh yeah. The 23rd February. He looked at his phone. The 26th of February.

He was confused. What happened? Did that quirk make me pass out for that long? Really?  But that didn't feel right either.

He sighed looking over at Compress who was asleep on his bed. Damn. It's had to of been early for him to be asleep. He checked the time.

04:34am.

Damn. He wondered if Kurogiri would be awake. The mist man never really seemed to rest before anyone else. Ever. It was odd. He was always up before everyone too.

He stood up stretching before looking down and realising who's clothes he was in. Why the fuck was he in Shigarakis clothes? He didn't remember changing and if someone changed him why didn't they use his clothes? What?

He eventually made the decision to wake up Compress and ask him what the hell was going on. Why did he have a horrible headache? Why was he wearing Shigaraki's  clothes? Why was he so damn tired? Why wasn't he hungry if he'd been knocked out for over two days? Why was he all bandaged up?

He went over to his bed and tapped him on the shoulder. When that didn't work he shook him slightly. He really really hated waking people up. It was just so awkward.

It was also the slight fear that resided in him that they would react badly and end up doing something to him but he told himself he was strong enough not to be scared of that.

Compress rubbed his eyes and sat up,
"Ah hello Dabi. What do I owe the pleasure?" He asked before he saw Dabis look of confusion.
"What happened? Did I really get knocked out for two days?" He asked saving the many other questions for later.

Compress sighed.
"Not exactly. You got hit by a quirk, Dabi." He said getting up and offering the raven a seat.
"What kind of quirk?" Dabi asked suspiciously.

Compress sighed again,
"It's hard to explain. I believe you got hit by a quirk that reverted your state back to a previous one." He started as Dabi sat next to him.

Dabi stared at him for a minute,
"Your telling me I was in a previous state for two days? What kind of previous state?" He asked ultimately confused.
"You were a child Dabi." He said looking at the raven.

Dabi stared at him in disbelief. A child? No this couldn't have been good. No no no! This could've ruined his whole life. Everyone would know about him. They would all focus on his childhood rather than who he was now.

Dabi brought his knees up to his chest and tucked his head into them. Compress gently put a hand on his back,
"You know it wasn't as terrible as you think you know." He started, "You told us very little and you seemed to be happier." He said.

Dabi looked up at him from his knees,
"Why am I all bandaged up then? Who saw that?" He asked showing his arms.
"Only me and Tomura. He was worried you know, angry but worried." The magician said patting the ravens back.

Dabi sighed out of relief, not everyone had seen that at least. He could put a few things together with the information he had, like why he wasn't hungry or why he had Tomuras clothes on.

Dabi lifted his head up staring at the clock on the wall,
"Hey, don't worry. The league got on well and I even got some photos of you and Tomura having fun playing your games." He said taking his phone off the side and showing some photos of Touya playing mario kart and baking with Tomura.

He smiled slightly seeing himself as a kid having fun instead of awful memories. Obviously he didn't remember what had happened the two days prior but it made him feel happier about the situation.

He yawned covering his mouth and the magician chuckled,
"Tired are we?" He said as Dabi leaned onto him half falling asleep. Dabi nodded and Compress smiled,
"You know, you thought I was your father while you were here." He said knowing it would embarrass him.

It did exactly that. Dabi looked completely embarrassed thst he had said that,
"What did I call you?" He said praying he didn't still call his mother 'mummy' then he would be utterly embarrassed.

Compress ruffled the ravens hair and smiled,
"Just dad, don't worry." He sighed, at least it wasn't the worst it could've been.
"And I said that in front of the entire league?" He asked smiling slightly at the embarrassment he was facing.

Compress nodded,
"Togas never going to let you live that down, Tomura might but it's unlikely with how much you two go at each others throats."  He added.

Dabi rested his head back on the man's shoulder mumbling,
"I'll cremate em' if they say anything..." he said falling asleep on him shortly after.

The other smiled laying the younger one down on the bed and going into the main room.
"Sure you will."
