Fallen Hero (Dabi x Y/N)

The Call That Changed Everything

Bzzt. Bzzt. Your phone buzzed in your pocket. You pulled it out, letting go of Dabi's hand to answer.

"Hello?"
"Hello. Is this Y/N L/N?" Said a voice.
"Yes it is. How may I help you?"
"This is the hospital."
Oh god it was the hospital.
"Is Ray alright?" You kept your voice intact. Dabi looked at you with worried eyes, hearing the familiar name.

"That's exactly what we were calling about. They're in perfect health!" The operator said.
"Oh thank you so much! This is great news!"
"Of course, they still won't be dispatched from the hospital until they have fully recovered from surgery, but you are free to visit them anytime."
"Thank you so much! I'll be sure to visit soon. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye." Beeeeep.

Dabi took your hand again as you put the phone away.
"What was that about?" He asked.
"That was the hospital calling. Ray is going to be okay!" You smiled.
"That's great news," he kissed your cheek, "after this do you want to visit them?"
"Of course!" You looked at him happily. God, he was the best.

We stepped into the pet store. We quickly picked up a big back of cat food. We paid and left. Hefting the large bag of cat food over his shoulder, Dabi was clearly a bit burdened.
"That's going to hurt your shoulder, hand it over," you said.
"You're smaller than I am, how are you going to carry this?"
"I'm strong, watch me." He handed you the bag. You buckled for a moment under the weight, but quickly regained balance and distributed the weight evenly across my shoulders.

"See? I carry it better than you do," you said. Then you tripped. And fell. Face first onto the sidewalk. "Ouch," you mumbled under the crushing weight of the bag.

The bag was lifted off you.
"Thanks," you groaned, not even bothering to remove your face from the ground.
"I do think it's better if I carry it mouse." You picked your face up. Dabi was holding his hand out for you to take. You took it, standing up warily. "Next time I gotta watch for pebbles." You smiled.

"Mouse, please check your nose." Dani looked at my face. You dabbed your finger underneath your nose. You came back with thick red blood coating your finger.
"Ugh, my nose is bleeding." You weren't hurt as much as you were annoyed. If it got on Toga's clothing, she'd kill you.
"Do you have a tissue?" You asked Dabi. "No but here's this." He pulled an old handkerchief from his jacket pocket. It was stained with blood that clearly was attempted to be cleaned. However, blood stains. A lot. You wiped your nose a few times, then held a clean part of the cloth to your nostrils, in case it wasn't fully finished bleeding.

You walked back into the bar with Dabi, seeing that nobody was there. They were all probably in their rooms. You tossed the dirty rag aside.
"Now," Dabi said, putting the bag of cast food aside, "how about going to see your friend?"
You took his hand and nodded in agreement.
