An Inconvenient Flame (Dabi x Female Y/N)

Chapter 19: Tell me the truth.

He doesn't answer the question, instead, he picks you up and finally pulls out while carrying you to the bathroom.

"Touya?" you ask. He doesn't respond again. He silently starts the bath and sets you in it.

"Touya, please talk to me, I won't see you any differently," you smile and he pauses slightly.

"Pinky promise?" you try not to laugh at how much of a kid he is when he's drunk. But you nod your head and hold up both your pinkies.

"Double pinky promise," you smile and he interlocks your pinkies with his. After pulling them away, he gets in the tub behind in front of you. He fidgets with his fingers while thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Start when you're ready hun," you give him another smile and open your arms. He nods and scoots over, placing his head on your chest, and you wrap your arms around him, rubbing his back gently.

"My name is Touya Todoroki, my dad is Endeavor," he squirms his arms behind you and hugs your waist. You keep listening to him and turn the water off before it overflows.

"My dad isn't a good guy, he's abusive, selfish, and just wants the best for himself and if you're not the best, you might as well be dead," his grip tightens on you. You gently kiss the top of his head. His grip loosens slightly.

"So I faked my death to escape him, selfish isn't it? I left my younger siblings to deal with him all alone because I was tired of him," you feel some drops hit your chest and you gently place your hand on his chin and turn his head up to look at you. Once again his eyes are filled with bloody tears. You kiss his forehead and wipe the blood away which makes him relax slightly and he gives you a soft smile.

"You are not selfish, you were keeping yourself alive, I'm sure your siblings don't blame you at all. So please don't say you're selfish, ever since I met you, you were looking out for me even if it was in a weird way, you were still there," he nods and places his head back on your chest, trying to hide the tears forming in his eyes again.

"I didn't want to tell you because you're pregnant with my child, I didn't want to scare you, I didn't want you to see me like him. A monster. I'm scared of myself. What if I become him and I hurt you too? I don't want to lose you and our kid..." you sit him up and wipe the tears now running down his cheeks and hug him tight.

"You being aware of what you don't want to be, proves you won't be like him. You know what you want and it's not the same thing he wants, he wants the power in each of you, you just want love and a family. You and your father are complete opposites. Also, you'd never scare me and if you did, I'd tell you. I swear," he wraps his arms around you just as tight and buries his face in your neck.

"You've never been seen as a monster to me, even when I first met you, yes you startled me but I didn't mind it and now look at us," he smiled against your neck and sits up.

"I want to see my siblings," his face falls blankly after saying that. You nod your head.

"We can this week, you'll be hungover tomorrow so it'll be better when you're not hungover," you chuckle and he nods with a smile before hugging you again.

After your bath and finally getting the sheets changed, you both end up falling asleep and the next thing you know, it's morning. You slowly sit up to try not to wake Touya who has his arm around your waist and thankfully you succeed. Once you're up, you make your way to the kitchen and brew some coffee while making some bacon and eggs and dancing to some soft music. After a few minutes, Touya walks out to you, placing his hands around your waist and onto your tummy, feeling the small baby bump forming.

"Good morning," you smile back at him while turning the bacon over. He just groans and watches you cook. You can't help but chuckle.

"Go sit down and I'll bring the food over," he nods and kisses your neck gently before walking to the table. Once you finish plating the food and bringing it over to him, he pulls you on his lap and rests his chin on your shoulder. You chuckle softly while placing his plate down on the table and yours next to him.

After eating, Touya doesn't let you leave his lap no matter how hard you try to get up.

"I need to do the dishes dork so let me up," you say while slightly giving up and sitting there.

"No you don't, they aren't going anywhere and I can do them," he nuzzles into your shoulder and tightens his grip around your waist. You sigh and fully give up, making him smile.

"What would you like me to call you?" you ask while messing with the staples on his hands.

"There's a lot of things I'd like you to call me but it depends on the situation," he grins while kissing below your ear, sending goosebumps down your body.

"Stop messing around, I mean Dabi or Touya?" you can feel him pouting and he rests his chin on your shoulder once again.

"Dabi please, I don't like my old name, it's the only me who was too weak to stay," he mumbles the last part while wrapping his arms tighter around you.

"You're not weak baby, I can promise you that," he nods slightly and picks you up gently, setting you on the couch. He then grabs the dishes and carries them to the sink.

"How's your head?" you ask while turning around on the couch to watch him. He just shrugs his shoulders and washes the dishes.

"Are you okay?" you ask but he just shrugs his shoulders again. You sigh and walk over to him, grabbing his chin and turning his head to face you.
