The walk back to your apartment felt as if time had stopped as if the world was frozen, cold, and dark. Not only did your dream come true but your worst nightmare did also. The person that you loved with every fiber in your body had lied to you, hid from you, left you in the worst state possible then said he did it to protect you. Yet all you wanted to do was run back into his warm embrace and hear his voice comforting you, telling you he loves you more than anything in the world and would never leave you again.
As you get to your apartment you go straight to the shower to try and wash the sadness off of your body. You step out of the bathroom to see a small candle on your nightstand lit. With a blue flame.
"Why are you here?" you say with disgust.
"I need to explain some things to you," Dabi states calmly.
"What more do I need to know?" you say glaring at him.
"So much more," he states with a fallen face.
"That day... that day I left I didn't leave because I didn't want to stay with you but I left because you couldn't stay with me. I couldn't let you be with the person i would become, you had so much more faith in me than i could ever have in myself. I just couldn't be who you needed, you wanted to become this pro hero and I just couldn't do it. After all my father did to me I just can't overlook him getting away with something like that, so I turned into this villain, full of rage and anger. But that doesn't mean I lost my feelings for you."
All you could do was stare at him while he looked at the ground wondering where the sweet boy you fell in love with went.
"I never left your side no matter what," Dabi says
"What do you mean?" you ask
"Even if it seemed like I left you, I didn't. I stayed with you, I made sure you were safe all this time. I observed you all these years from afar. I was at your graduation, your first day being a hero, your first everything. I couldn't let you go even after all these years." he states.
"Then why didn't you come to me? Why did you just watch, why didn't you tell me or ease me from my pain," you say on the brink of tears.
"I was scared, scared you would think less of me because of what I became," he says finally looking at you.
You walk closer to him until you two are only a few inches away from one another.
"I could never think less of you, you are the one I care for and will always care for no matter what you become," you say softly.
You two stare deeply at each other slowly getting closer to one another. He stares at your lips while you breathe in sharply waiting for him to get to you.
-Dabi POV-
Wow, she is truly beautiful even up close, her eyes are the most perfect things I have ever seen. No matter how much we have grown up I still feel like a nervous kid around her, my heart is beating so loud that I can feel it in my throat. All I want to do is kiss her.
