Only Exception

The interview

(Two days later)

Two days have passed since that sludge villain attack, two days since Dabi was saved by the hero who gave him a headache, two days since they've exchanged phone numbers, and two days since they've started this "friendship".

He had never thought of ever befriending anyone, much less a pro hero. The singer doesn't text much, his mind is still trying to wrap around the fact that he's befriended a hero. He, Dabi, the singer of The fucking Awakening has befriended a pro hero.

A.

Fucking.

Pro.

Hero.

You'd think that befriending one of the top ten pro heroes meant that he'd probably would be too busy to text, it'd make sense, heroes are too busy rescuing people and trying to look good to text their loved ones, even friends. Not this guy apparently!

The two days that have passed since they exchanged phone numbers the hero has done nothing but sent texts to him, mainly pictures of food or of cat videos or even just to casually chat with the singer. In all honesty, as much as it annoyed the singer with the constant messages the hero sent over the past two days, he didn't complain.

In fact, he looked forward to a new message.

BZZT

The singer glanced down at his phone, his face not showing the feeling of curiosity other than a slightly raised eyebrow. Grabbing the phone he checks on the notification, holding back the grin upon seeing its from the hero himself.

"Heyo!!! It's me, Hawks!"

"I know, what's with the cheerful greeting?"

"Can't I say hello to my friend ?"

"Well not like that"

"Come onnnn!! You probably are grinning just to see my message!"

"In your dreams Bird Brain"

"Who are you texting?" Dabi looked up, quickly shut his phone off upon hearing Shigaraki from behind, forgetting that he and his bandmates are in the same dressing room waiting for their turn to be interviewed, the singer eyed at his leader with no expression of surprise or nerves. Toga peeked from behind their leader all curious and excited.

"Is it Shoto?! How is he?!" The drummer asked all excited yet curious on wanting to know if the singer's brother.

"Well he's not dead, so that's a win" Dabi put his phone away as he commented nonchalantly, raising his hand with the phone in the air as the drummer tried to reach for the phone and begged to text her "best friend in the whole world".

"Dabi you shouldn't be joking like that, it's unbecoming of a singer" Mr. Compress said firmly, not looking at the singer as he was putting a bit of natural makeup before putting on his mask.

"Yeah yeah, whatever, he's still not dead" the singer gave an annoyed grunt as he kept his arm up with the phone still in hand as the drummer kept trying to snatch the phone as she kept demanding to give her the phone to text "Shoto".

"Get him Himiko!" Twice cheered "Destroy that phone!" Twice kept cheering as Spinner looked at Shigaraki to see the band leader scratch his neck and gritting his teeth.

"Stop that! You're acting like small children! As musicians we should strive to-"

"Hey! Knock it out!" Shigaraki interrupts Mr. Compress' attempt, snapping at the singer and drummer who aren't listening to him.
