An Inconvenient Flame (Dabi x Female Y/N)

Chapter 2: Please

It's been about a week since you last saw Dabi, nothing changed. He hasn't shown up randomly or broken into your house. His blood stain is still on the carpet no matter what you try to use to remove it, it's just stuck to you like the goddamn chip. You walk to your kitchen to grab a snack from the fridge but sadly it's empty since you've been too busy to go shopping. But you finally have some free time so you decide to go to the store which is just right down the road.

As you're walking to the store, you can't help but notice you're being followed. You glance over your shoulder to see a tall man following you with his hood up and a baseball cap on under the hood. That's not creepy at all. You thought to yourself as you picked up your pace.

You made it into the store safe and sound and grab a cart. As you start hammering out your shopping list, you move over to the pharmacy area to get more hair ties when you spot the guy who was following you earlier. He's looking at some hair dye. When he reaches out to grab black, you see something that jogs your memory. Staples. Your stomach starts to flutter as your feet automatically move on their own to him and before you know it, you're right behind him, standing on your tippy toes to look over his shoulder. He hasn't even noticed your presence yet so you stand next to him.

"I'd suggest the naturtint," you say while smiling. Dabi jumps and juggles the dye around in his hands, attempting not to drop it but he fails and the dye box hits the floor. He looks at you with those still beautiful turquoise eyes with a slight look of shock on his face. You can't help but laugh at him since he looked so stupid.

"You got scared by me? And you had the nerve to threaten me," you say between laughs when he just rolls his eyes and stands up fully.

"Maybe don't be a creep and sneak up on people," he hissed at you before grabbing the dye you recommended and walking away.

"Hey! you didn't pick up the box you dropped!" you shouted as you pick it up for him.
"and says you! you were following me earlier. so don't get pissy with me asshole," you say while putting the box back on the shelf not realizing what you said. Next thing you know, you're being forced to turn around and being shoved against the shelves, knocking some dyes off the shelves, with your hands pinned next to your head. you let out a small yelp and you look up to see who it was. It was none other than Dabi himself, and boy does he look pissed.

"Watch what you say to me, sweetheart," he growls out at you. You're not sure how to respond so you just sit there with your mouth open in shock. his glare moves down to your mouth and then back into your eyes but when it returns, it's gentler and he's smirking slightly. He lets go of one of your hands and slides his fingers up your arm, sending chills through your body. His hand slowly makes it up to your shoulder, then your neck, then to your jaw. He grabs your jaw and pulls your face closer. He leans closer and whispers in your ear.

"You're gonna catch flies idiot." he then walks away. You're now even more confused. He left you there. Alone. With the boxes all over the floor.

After being yelled at by a worker to pick up the boxes, you finally get home and unpack your groceries. Just as you go to relax on the couch, there's a knock at your door. You groan in annoyance before getting up and walking to the door. You open the door to see Dabi standing there with his box of hair dye and his hood still up.

"Um can I help you?" you ask while leaning against the door. Which was dumb on your part since the door moved and you faceplanted on the floor. You hear a slight laugh before he coughs to stop himself and lets himself in. Rubbing your nose, you sit up and pout about how embarrassing that was while he just takes his shoes off and sits on the couch.

"You're going to help me dye my hair," he says while making himself comfortable by putting his feet up on the coffee table.

"Says who?" you say while getting to your feet and walking over to him.

"Says me so be a good girl and do what I say." he hissed at you.

"You can't make me. You left me to clean your mess at the store so why should I help you?" you ask while crossing your arms over your chest, trying to act annoyed when we both know you're not. He pauses his movements and looks at you before looking towards the floor. He then mumbled something but you can't quite make it out.

"What was that? too scared to talk to me?" you say in a teasing manner, making him shoot you a glare that could kill you. You try to make it look like you're not that nervous and glare back at him. Dabi smiles slightly and clears his throat.

"And here I was thinking you were just some weakling idiot but I guess you can stand up for yourself, can you please help me dye my hair?" he asks. I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult. You thought to yourself before nodding.

"Fine I'll help you, only cause you're nice enough to say please," you say while smiling sweetly, leaving a little red tint on his cheeks.
