Hacking a crackchat

Shigaraki: A deathly mistake

Toga POV

I look to Shigaraki as the texts start to end. You can tell when a conversation ends when texting. They slow down as people see there is no topic to discuss. But we're off track now... What the hell is Dabi doing? He can't just reveal Shiggy's past to heroes! How did he even get it already!? I don't know Shigaraki's backstory! Well now I do but still!

I turn to Shigs, he took his hand off revealing his face but his hair quickly covers the upper bit, and ask "Did you tell Dabi your past? Or is he telling the truth 'that he hacked into Afo's computer'?" I giggle sadly.

"That f*cker" Shigaraki mutters loudly and out of nowhere he does a 90 degree turn and starts to push the door, hit it and kick it. Luckily he is wearing gloves or we'd have to buy another door for Dabi. Then again, does he deserve a door?

The banging gets harder and I couldn't help but cover my ears. Suddenly Shigaraki starts shouting. I look at him because he almost never shouts. He scolds us when we annoy him but never this.

He yells "DABI! Open the f*cking door! What the f*ck are you on that makes you start to text sh*t like that?! I'd rather have them think I'm crazy than have empathy for me!" he then screams at the top of his lungs "OPEN THE F*CKING DOOR!".

His voice cracks and he nearly falls down. He's crying, he's hurt. I catch him before he hits the floor fully. Silence always has an advantage. I feel tears start dripping down and landing on my hands. He gets himself on the floor, pushing my arms away. Shigaraki sits himself, leaning to the door, and wipes his eyes.

"Dabi...?" His broken voice says "Listen, I don't actually care that you said anything about my past. I don't care. But I want to know what you meant by me being groomed... because I'm not. He cares, my master cares".

My head starts hurting and I feel and hear beating. What is going on?! What the f*ck is going on?!

We both snap out when we hear Dabi's quiet calm voice.

"It's the truth, Tenko Shimura"

I've never seen Shiggy this violent. He yanks off his gloves and grips on the door. His teeth shown and were gritted together. The door cracks. It turns dark grey. Starts breaking down. Finally a heap of ash was there in it's place. Dabi was there sat on his bed, looking at us with no expression at all.

"How dare you..." Shigaraki manages to get out. He was too angry to say more. "My master ISN'T using me! There is no f*cking 'grooming' involved!".

Dabi looks at him, with a sorry expression, and stands up as he explains gently "Shigaraki, I swear on my life that it's in fact true" and he puts his hand above his head. Oh my god... that b*tch for one.

However, I don't think Shiggy is on the same page...

He lunges at Dabi with his hand reaching out for him, ready for a kill. Dabi's room is long. The bed is next to the wall opposite the door so he had time to react but he didn't for some reason. He only just closes his eyes. I don't know why but I didn't stop him in time!

"SHIGARAKI NO!!!" I screech. F*ck, Dabi will die.

Shigaraki POV

I couldn't stop myself. I feel time slow down after Toga screamed. My eyes squint at Dabi's protective stance. This looks... so... I don't want this... I don't want to kill Dabi. Move out of the way Dabi! Please! Move out the way! F*ck.

Flashback

Why did he push me away?!

I need your help Dad!

Why did you hurt me again!?

Mom always says you love me deep down but even when I need help you treat me like a monster!

I HATE YOU

I finally reach his face from pouncing on his stupid little stance and I watch as he crumbles away. The look of terror he has is hilarious. His blood splatters all over my hands and face.

He's dead. Finally dead.

End of Flashback

Suddenly a purple portal comes between us.

I run into it and find myself in the living room. I look around. This could only be... Kurogiri! But he was asleep in my room, wasn't he? The portal behind me disappears and I go to where Dabi's room is.

Kurogiri is there. Toga is hugging him tightly as a few tears spill down her cheeks. I look through the doorframe and see Dabi. He was leaning his back to a wall and had his hand on his heart. He was breathing heavily, full of relief I didn't kill him.

Kurogiri looks around at the scene. He asks "What happened? Tomura, why did you almost kill Dabi?". I hate the concern in his voice.

I don't know Kurogiri... I don't know.

"It's nothing Kurogiri, go back to bed" Dabi murmurs. Does he... forgive me? I don't understand though. I nearly took his life.

Toga lets go of Kurogiri, still crying, and Kurogiri turns to us "I am sick and tired of this game you lot are playing. With the heroes and 1a students, with these bottles that Dabi fills his room and with me! I haven't been feeling the same ever since the day I 'malfunctioned', to which I still doubt to this day because my making had no flaws. I acknowledge that you might not want to inform me of my situation but at least tell me what happened now? And if there's a quarrel between you two, please resolve it". He was calm but had the fire in him.

I slowly pickup my black, elastic gloves and put them on. I want to hug Dabi. I want to hug him and say sorry. And I do just that. I run to him, this time my hands reach to only hug him. He hugs back. I don't know whether he heard my sorries. I hope he did. I really REALLY hope he did. I didn't want to make the same mistake twice.

"We need to talk Shigaraki" He whispers to me gently but sternly.

I back off and look at him, deathly. I might be glad that he's alive, but he's the one to explain why on god's green earth he thinks I'm being groomed by the only person who lent me help when I needed it. And he needs to show me proof.
