Let it kill you (Dabi x reader

Chapter 35

♧ ♧ ♧
It had been a few days since training. You hadn't gone back to Dabis except to get your stuff. After you went to the apartment and grabbed some other stuff and went to the train station. You stood on the platform waiting for the train to come with your hood up. You left a note for Jasmine about where you were going so she wouldn't worry. When the train got there you stepped on and sat down. At this point it was dark outside and you wouldn't get there until morning. You sat on the train listening to music for the two hour ride. When the train came to your stop you got off.

"Where you coming from?" The ticket person asked me as I came up to the desk.

"Musutafu" you said plainly and he gives you a glance. "Is there a problem?" You asked kindly.

"No, I just feel like I've seen you somewhere before" he says

"I guess I just have one of those faces" you said with a small laugh.

"Well your total is 11000 yen" he said with a warm smile.

You gave him the money and started to walk away.

"Would you like me to call you a car?" He asked stopping me.

"No I'm okay thank you" you said.

"It's dark ma'am, no pretty young lady should be walking at night by herself." He said with a worried tone.

"I promise I'm fine, where I'm going isn't far from here" you said and he nodded and you walked away.

You lied it was very far where you were going on the countryside actually. But you were fine you knew how to protect yourself. You didn't have your bow and arrows but you had a knife with you. As you walked you took in the cool air. It was fresher out here without all the cars. As you walked you felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You kept walking knowing if someone was following you you would hear them walking because its all dirt and gravel and dry grass that crunches. But the feeling wouldn't go away it didn't feel like a dangerous presence if felt like one you have been around before.

"Hawks why are you following me?" You asked loud enough for him to hear.

"How did you know?" He asked from a few meters behind you.

"I'm not stupid" you said annoyed as you kept walking and he flew down and walked with you. "So who sent you?"

"What no one sent me" he said like normal.

"Your a good liar, not that good though" you said and he sighed.

"Dabi and Jasmine asked me to make sure you got where you were going safely" he said looking at you while you looked forward.

"Well you can go, I don't need a babysitter" you said sighing.

"I know you don't but it gave them peace of mind" he said and you looked down at your feet.

"Dose Dabi know where I am?" You asked looking forward again.

"No I didn't tell him, Jasmine told me not too" he said seeing that something was weighing on you heavily. "So what happed?"

"What do you mean" you asked trying to dodge the question.

"Don't play dumb Y/n they told me what happened at training" he said being serious now.

"Well then you already know, I missed every single target" you said gritting your teeth still being angered by it.

"Okay but why did you rage quit. The Y/n I know and have gotten to know is never one to back down from a challenge" he said trying to encourage you.

"That's the problem" you said pausing for a second. "That shouldn't have been a challenge"

"So then why was it?" he asked and you stopped walking.

You stood there for a second. You knew why it was a challenge you just didn't want to admit that Nick was the reason why. He shouldn't effect you so much. All you had wanted when you were younger was for him to come back and he never did and when he does he says what he said to you. You knew he was the reason but you would only admit that to one person.

"I'm not sure" you said as you kept walking.

He didn't push it any further. He already knew why and he wasn't gonna make you say it if you weren't ready. He walked in silence with you for awhile. He knew more about your brother at this point then you did and he wanted to tell you but it wasn't his place but he did want to offer it he just didn't know how. A large farm house came into view with some lights still on and he saw a small smile appear on your face. In that moment he knew this was your safe place.

"Thank you for walking with me Hawks" you said as he walked you to the door.

"Not a problem just a day in the life of a hero" he said with his charming smile.

You rolled your eyes and smiled and knocked on the door and waited.

"Also Y/n if you ever want to know about him I can tell you" he said walking down the stairs.

"About who?" You asked still looking at the door.

"Your brother" he said making your eyes get wide.

"How did you-" you stared to say as you turned around seeing he was gone.

You looked at where he once was and felt your heart race. He knew about your brother? How and when did he even figure out that you had a brother. Your thoughts circled around your head for a while until you heard the door open.

"Oh my goodness is that my Y/n" your grandpas voice taking you out of your thoughts.

"Hey grandpa" you said with a smile as you turned around to look at him.

"Come in come in its late" he said moving out of the way so you could walk in. "Tell me you didn't walk here by yourself at this time"

"No a friend of mine came with me but they had to go they had things to do in the morning" you said as you sat down on the couch leaning your head back and closing your eyes.

Your grandpa sat across from you and just looked at you. You could feel him looking at you and you knew he was studying you. He had done that since you were little so you knew what the next question would be.

"Y/n are you okay?" He asked softly and you picked up your head.

"I'm not sure if I'm honest" you said looking at him and he could see it in your eyes.

"What going on Y/n you can tell me anything" he said and you softly smiled.

"I was doing target practice and I kept missing. I missed every single target" you said feeling disappointed in yourself more now then angry.

"Well that happens to the best of us. Ive missed plenty of times, we all have our off days and thats okay." He said and you let out a sigh.

"But when it comes to that I don't have off days grandpa. I don't miss" you said looking at him.

"Do you have any idea as to why you might be missing?" He asked making it obvious he didn't know.

"Yeah I do" you paused before continuing. "Grandpa Nick came and saw me the other day". You said and saw his face change from worried to shocked.
