Butterflies Dabi x OC

12. This family 🦋

Why was there something so interesting about being here?

Maybe it was the thrill of being across the room from my greatest enemy, and never waking up dead. Or waking up at all—

Yeah, let's stick with that!

Again, instead of going home like Hawks told me I could do, I slept in the same room with Dabi. He obviously stayed, he has no other place. Or so I assume.

I don't know why I stayed though. Something just told me to stay... maybe it was the fact that he saw Mirko and the hero's secret. One of there secrets at least. I guess I just wanted to make sure he wouldn't tell. Maybe if I was in the room, he'd feel more threatened.

Anyway.

I had bigger problems to focus on today. Here I thought Dabi was my biggest problem. Wrong! I had to go to the Todoroki's.

If it was up to me I'd visit them 3 or 4 times a year, maybe stay and talk for 30 minutes and leave. I used to love being at there house. It distracted me from... my family. Touya's mom, Rei, would always make me food and make me feel extra special. Touya's siblings would play with me and cheer me up if I was sad. They were great! I loved all of them!

Just not Enji...

Well shit, now I work as an assassin for his people.

I loved everyone in that house but Enji. Even though I knew what was going on behind closed doors, Touya would tell me about everything. I still cared for some of them, but I stopped wanting to go over there after...

The incident.

My relationship with Touya's family burned alive.. just like Touya did. Burn. I prefer it that way, I never want to be in that house again for more then a few minutes.

But damn, they always invited me over, and my heart still cared for them because I knew they were hurting like me. And jeez— Fuyumi and Shoto are so irresistible.

Although, even with all those happy memories and still loving them. They bring back more bad memories then happy ones, so I truly don't want to go there today.

10:00 PM.

My phone showed me the time, as my tired eyes squinted to see it.

I put on some clothes in the bathroom, which was disgusting by the way, and headed out. I glanced at Dabi on the way out. His bed looked uncomfortable, but he looked completely unconscious, like everyday was just a hard day.

I felt bad for him, really.

I left there hide out, making sure not to get caught by any hero's or civilians. Shigaraki didn't say anything about a meeting or a mission, so I didn't have to be there. I went out and did my usual responsibilities.

Buy breakfast, went home to feed my dog, did my laundry that was at my house even thought I haven't been there, and went grocery shopping for my dog and I.

I was on my way to my house to just chill out before I had to get ready, until I saw Kei— Hawks! He was doing his daily patrol, looking out for villains.

As if we weren't on a mission pretending to be villains.

His voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and his shoulder brushing against mine made my vision clear up.

"Hey good lookin', what's up?" He said as all the ladies around him darted a death stare at me. All the ladies were swooned by him, of course they'd be jealous.

"Nothing much, just going back home." I smiled sweetly, as I've always have during our years as
friends. "Patrolling?" I asked.

"Yep! Just being the coolest and best hero as usual." He smirked jokingly, making me giggle. He always said things like that and acted so full of himself, he always had to keep it cool.
