Our Crazy Fathers - NEW VERSION - DabiDeku

8 - Butterflies

The walk wasn't that long and only took me a couple of minutes. I swung the front door open to be greeted by a clean house.

"Did you guys do all this?" I asked.

"Yeah. You were gone for kinda a long time so we finished up. You'll probably need some air freshener or something like that but we need to head back before Crusty freaks out." Dabi answered.

"Right."

As if on cue a purple mist portal appeared in my living room. We all stepped through and ended up back at the bar.

"Where the hell were you three?! Master came back saying he couldn't find you and started screaming at me!"

"We we're cleaning up his house. His very own personal maids." Dabi said sarcastically. I decided I wanted to take a shower so I headed upstairs to my room while Dabi and Shigaraki were still arguing. Toga had ran off to find something, I couldn't hear the last words she said before she was already down the hallway.

I grabbed a towel and a washcloth and headed into the bathroom. Dabi had given some of his shampoo so I always sort of smelt like him. It was a really nice quality shampoo too. Said it helped hair dye stay in longer so black must not be his natural color. I took time washing because my body was still very sore and I did have some wounds that were finally scarring over. I liked to keep them wrapped in bandages though just in case.

Once I finished I dried my hair off as best as I could and wrapped the towel around my waist. I walked back into the bedroom, realizing I forgot to bring clothes in with me.

I was only slightly surprised to see Dabi sitting on my bed when I walked back in.

"You took forever in there." He said, not looking up from his phone.

"I don't think I took that long." I signed. I don't think he saw it but it really didn't matter. I grabbed the clothes I wanted and quickly put the boxers and pants on. Dabi probably wasn't going to look up from his phone so it really didn't matter. I turned back around to him and handed him the roll of bandages. He would always be here to help. I could do it by myself but it was easier to have someone else do it.

"All done. How is it feeling?"

"Everything still somewhat hurts but it's better I guess."

"You guess?"

"Anything is better than something new every day."

"Yeah I guess so."

We sat down on my bed together and he went back to whatever game he was playing. He was flinging oddly shaped birds at weird green pigs but I really didn't get it. I got tired so I leaned my head on his shoulder. He was slightly slouched so I could actually reach. He was about 8 or so inches taller than me. I assume I was supposed to be taller but malnourishment said no. That was a good joke right? People joke about their problems but it didn't exactly go away so I don't really understand.

"People are exhausting."

"I know. But you're going to a school you realize that, right? There's gonna be a ton of people. I could sneak in with you. Wouldn't that be fun?"

"No! That's a school full of pro heroes. You'll get caught!"

"Kidding, kidding. Unless you want me too." He glanced over with a smirk.

"Fuck you." I glared at him.

"Sounds good." He smiled and went back to his game. I got this weird feeling in my chest? Was this what a heart attack felt like?

Whatever that might have been, the start of school was still coming close. I should be fine with my studies so all I had to worry about would be get information. I could take an analysis notebook with me. Just something small every day. I can do that.

"Izuku." How about no. I'm nice and warm. "Izukuuuuu." No. "You need to get up." I said no. "Hm, alright then I'll get up." Wait no.

I latched my legs around him tighter. I couldn't loose my personal heater. I reluctantly opened my eyes and saw Dabi smirk.

"Bitch."

"Aw, don't be mean." He sat up, pulling the blanket off me. I groaned. "Hey, you made a noise."

"Just because I don't talk doesn't mean I can't. I would just prefer not to."

"Makes sense. Do whatever makes you comfortable. You do have to get up now though. You gotta get into that cute little schoolboy uniform that probably itches in five million places." I sighed and pushed the blanket on the floor. I could pick it up later. I rummaged through the closet and found the uniform. It was slightly wrinkled but who really cares. Certainly not me.

I had noticed I became more relaxed over the couple of months. I guess that's good. The pants were normal, so was the shirt and jacket. The tie reminded me of some things I wanted to forget so I just left it. Katsuki probably would too knowing the person he is. I stole Shigaraki's shoes since they were the same size as my other red ones and I didn't really feel like going all the way back upstairs to get them.

"Are those my shoes dickhead?" He asked.

"Maybe."

"One scuff or scratch on them and you're dust."

"Alright Crusty that's enough." Dabi said, walking into the room.

"Maybe I'll just go have Katsuki blow them up. Then Dabi can burn them." Dabi started laughing his ass off.

"What did he say?!" Shigaraki stood up and started walking over to Dabi, who was wheezing too hard to even say anything. "What the hell?! Tell me what he said you bastard!"

I quickly grabbed Dabi's arm and pulled him outside with me and shut the door before Shigaraki could grab him.

"He seemed actually angry that time. Crazy." He rolled his eyes. "You have everything you need?" He asked. I nodded. "Are you gonna be okay? If you need anything you just text me, okay?"

"You need to quit worrying so much. I'll be okay."

"Yeah I know but it's just your old man that scares me."

"Stop worrying. You're the one who told me that. I'll be back later."

"Oh, really now? Want me to kiss you and say goodbye honey, have a good day at work?" He said jokingly. I reached up on my tippy toes and pecked his lips. "That was a big reach wasn't it? Maybe I'll come down to you next time."

And just like that he bent down, putting his hands on my shoulders and placed his lips against mine.

That feeling from my chest came back. I'd read about love but it was never described well. They always said it was like butterflies but I've only seen one, how am I supposed to know how one feels. And how inside my stomach? But now it didn't matter this is how people showed their love and I was loving this.

He pulled his face away from mine but quickly panicked. "Shit you gotta go! Your old man will freak if he gets a call or something from the school." Ah crap he's right. I readjusted my bag strap and ran to the train station. I got on in time and took a seat. I had to run a little bit but I made it on time. I had about 5 minutes before the class was officially supposed to start. I opened the big door only to be greeted by...

Yelling.

Yay...chapter
