NOBODY POV :
Dabi had anxiety attacks since he was a kid. He hated when people yelled at him. It made him feel weak and like he didn't do enough. Like he himself wasn't enough.
The LOV came back from a failed mission. Dabi had fucked up his part, and he knew he was gonna get an earful from Shigaraki about it. Shigaraki stood in front of him, turned away. He sighed and turned around to face Dabi.
"What. The fuck. Was that?" he said, with a tinge of concealed anger in his voice.
"Oh fuck off, crusty. I di—" Dabi tried to defend himself.
"No no no no no no no I don't think you get how this works," Shigaraki interrupted. "You. Fucked. Up. Badly."
"I know and—" Dabi protested again.
"JUST SHUT IT!" Shigaraki yelled. "Excuses, excuses, excuses. You're just like your dad."
Dabi was about to make a sarcastic remark, but he fell silent. He felt as though someone had thrown a 500 pound weight on his shoulders. His body went hot and uncomfortable. His hands began to shake.
"Shigaraki! You insensitive jerk!" Dabi heard Y/N call. Well, at least she cares a little.
"This isn't your business, Y/N," Shigaraki said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes the fuck it is! You're a disrespectful and rude piece of shit," she spat at him. That's my baby, Dabi thought, proud of his partner.
"You repressed little bitc—" before he could continue, she slapped him straight in the face.
Then, chaos ensued. They were both yelling at eachother. Dabi's anxiety only worsened.
- Flashback -
"Touya, you're a disappointment. YOU CAN'T EVEN FIGHT, GODDAMMIT!" Enji told his son.
"I-I.." Touya started, ashamed and guilty.
"Shut it, brat," Enji said.
"ENJI! You cannot say that to our son!" Rei, said enraged.
"He's hardly my son if he's this weak," Enji said coldly.
"He's just a kid!" Rei protested
"AND HE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO FIGHT!" Enji yelled. "I 'oughta teach you a permanent lesson, kid."
"Mommy..?" Shoto called, Fuyumi next to him and Natsuo watching from the staircase.
"Enji, I swear to god, you lay one finger on that boy.." Rei said quietly but firmly, her voice cracking. Touya could tell she was scared. He backed away. If mom is scared, be very afraid.
"Shut up, you whore," Enji said to his beautiful wife.
She stood in shock. Then, she approached him and backhanded him across the face. She grabbed Touya's hand with her angelic one and saved him from his dad.
"Shoto, Natsuo, Fuyumi, let's go," she said sternly.
Natsuo hurried along. Touya begrudgingly left his mother's safe grasp to go fetch his youngest brother.
"C'mon, Shoto. Come with mom," he said, close to tears.
"Why?" Shoto asked, confused.
"Because, we've gotta go with her. Come on," he said grabbing his younger brother's hand and leading him away from his dad. Rei grabbed his hand with one of hers and Natusuo's hand with the other.
"Are you coming?" Touya asked his sister.
"I'll stay behind with dad. Go ahead with mom," she said smiling.
"Alright. Stay safe, I love you," Touya said.
"I love you too..see you later," she said. It was heartbreaking to Touya that she knew the drill. This had happened too many times before.
"Rei! Stop!" Enji called after his wife.
"I'm going to my sister's house!" Rei said grabbing her keys and storming away.
"Rei, please..." Enji begged.
"I'm sorry, Enji.." Rei said.
Their foreheads touched as Rei realized the man she once loved was toxic and she could never escape.
"Touya, honey, why don't you go take Shoto and Natsuo and wait in the car? I'll be out in a second," she said sweetly to her poor, innocent son.
He nodded and grabbed the hands of his younger brothers.
"C'mon, guys. Let's go," he said picking Shoto up so he wouldn't fall behind.
They all walked to the car.
"You think Fuyumi'll be okay with dad?" Natsuo asked, hopping in the car.
"She'll be fine. She knows how to take care of herself," Touya said reassuringly while buckling his youngest brother into the car.
"Yeah. That and dad has favourites," Natsuo said.
"Fucking figures," Touya said closing the car door and hopping in himself.
Touya sat next to Shoto and covered his ears while he talked with Natsuo to distract him from the situation. They waited in the car for about 10 minutes. All that could be heard was yelling from the front of his door.
Rei approached the car door. As she did so, she yelled back something Touya would never forget.
"I NEVER LOVED YOU, ENJI!"
She opened the door and slammed it shut.
"Mom..? Are you okay?" Touya asked, worried.
"I-I'm fine, honey. We're gonna go visit your aunt for a while, okay?" She said as she pulled out of the garage. The sun had set and it was now dark outside.
"Yay, road trip!" Shoto said excitedly. Touya smiled at his innocence.
- Flashback over -
Dabi now found himself laying on the floor of his bathroom, heart racing, bleeding, shaking and hyperventilating. He couldn't breathe or stop his body from reacting like this.
"Dabi, baby? Are you okay?" he heard his girlfriend call.
He couldn't respond.
"Babe? I'm coming in," she said.
"N-o.." he gulped.
She opened the door to find him covered in blood. Her heart sank. She ran to his side and hugged him tight.
"S-Stop y-you'll g-et bu-rned," Dabi said, trying to push her away.
"I know.." she said pulling him into a hug.
This time, he didn't resist. He hugged her back, tight, and waited out the storm.
"I know, baby. It's gonna be okay. It never lasts forever," she comforted. "It's okay..it's okay to feel like this. I'm your partner. You don't have to hide your feelings from me to be strong, no matter what kind of poison he might have put in your head."
She guided him through his breathing until eventually, after maybe an hour, he calmed down.
"T-thank you," he said quietly.
"Of course. It's what I'm here for," she said hugging him.
She cleaned up the blood and they went off to bed. Dabi felt better knowing that his girlfriend could help him through a panic attack. She cared about him. She didn't mind that he had feelings. She loved him.
