An Inconvenient Flame (Dabi x Female Y/N)

Chapter Sixteen: dinner pt 3

Dinner went on and Abby was interrogating Dabi and James and making them talk to one another while you enjoy eating your breadsticks. Now and then you can feel Dabi glance at you but you didn't care. But I guess he didn't like that and while you're about to take a bite from the break stick, you feel a hand on your thigh. You chose to ignore it and continue eating as they keep talking. Dabi gets annoyed by your response and slides his hand to your inner thigh. You try to close your legs more to keep him from moving and he yanks them apart, causing your cheeks to flush a bright red.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" Abby asks while taking a sip of her tea. You nod your head and finish the breadstick.

"Yes, I'm okay," you say with a smile while he slides his hand further up your thigh. You glance over at Dabi who's acting as if nothings happening while continuing his conversation with Abby. Just as you're about to take a bite out of your meal, he slides his hand up more and onto the rim of your underwear. Your cheeks flush and you continue with your bite of food while pushing his hand away with your free hand. Of course, he doesn't like that and he grips your thigh, making you bite your tongue to keep a yelp from escaping your lips.

Dabi chuckles softly before removing his hand from your thigh, making you pout slightly before returning to your food. As you continue with your meal, you can feel someone tap your leg with their foot. You look up to see James staring at you. You raise your eyebrow toward him and he gives you a concerned look.

"Hm?" you continue chewing your food.

"Your cheeks are a little red so are you feeling okay?" you nod your head as you hear a small chuckle escape Dabi's lips. As you turn to look at him, he gives you a small smile and winks at you. Your cheeks flush and you return your attention to James.

"Yes, I'm okay" James smiles at you as you both return to your meal.

After dinner, you guys are heading to your car, and Abby pulls James aside they talk for a minute before he walks up to Dabi. Abby smiles to herself as she walks next to you and wraps her arm around yours.

"What are you up to?" you ask and her smile grows.

"I'm trying to get them to get along," she says.

"Well wanna go grab some drinks? There's a nice bar close by," James says while rubbing the back of his neck, clearly annoyed that he has to be nice.

"We can't bring them with us so why would we?" Dabi says while looking at you. "Plus I don't like you enough to drink with you," he returns his gaze to James. James just smiles and you can tell he's internally strangling him which just makes you laugh to yourself.

"Look, I don't like you either but I think we should learn to get along so what better way to do that than with alcohol?" James wraps his arm around Dabi's shoulder and Dabi looks to you for permission.

"Go ahead, Abby and I need to catch up anyways," you smile and he nods his head.

"Fine just a couple of drinks," he shrugs Jame's shoulder off of him. James rolls his eyes and walks to his car, Dabi following shortly after kissing you on your forehead.

~Dabi POV~

This is some bullshit. I don't want to be stuck with this asshole. But here I am. Sitting in his stupid car driving to a stupid bar with this stupid guy.

"Look I know you don't like me-" I cut him off.

"Good so don't talk to me" I snap at him and he chuckles.

"Let me finish before you throw your little fit. Your girlfriend will be very upset if you kill me," he smiles while pulling into the parking lot.

"I don't want us to be enemies and I want to make my wife happy so let's just have a few drinks and get to know each other, okay?" I guess I can go with that.

"Yeah, sure whatever," I say while getting out of the car. James gets out moments later and follows me into the bar where we both take a seat at the table.

"We're going to play a game to get to know each other," he smiles and I roll my eyes.

"What are we? Teenagers?" I scoff at him while ordering a shot of whiskey.

"You sure act like one," he smiles while ordering a Budweiser beer. My eye twitches in annoyance as I down the shot. This is going to be a long night.

"Fine, what's the game?" I turn my chair to face him while ordering a beer as well.

"Just a simple one, if you don't want to answer the question, you drink. Nothing too difficult but the more you don't answer, the stronger the alcohol gets," he takes a sip of his beer while grinning against the bottle. I let out a sigh while grabbing my beer.

"Game on, you first," I say while rolling my shoulders back to try and shake off this uneasy feeling that's growing over me.

"Let's start with an easy one, have you ever broken the law?"

"That's a stupid question, yes I have," I answer while sipping from the bottle.

"What law?" he gives me a stern look.

"Only one question at a time dickwad," I roll my eyes. James just glares at me in response.

"I have a name," he hisses.

"Dickwads better. Anyways, have you ever liked Y/N?" I take another sip from my bottle.

"Once, but then I realized it wasn't going to go anywhere and now I love her like a sister, I'm glad to have her in my life like that," he gives a genuine smile and leans back against his chair. I don't like that. But she's mine now so I'm not too worried. I can easily make her forget about him if I wanted to.

"My turn. What are your plans with her in the future?" He sets his beer down and rocks it in a circle by the base.
