"And you never even knew,
how much I really liked you,
'cause I never even told you,
oh and I meant to."

It was only so long until someone noticed Dabi was more secluded than usual.
Not like he would ever admit his feelings, not even to himself.
So it was a fruitless endeavor to try and get him to admit that to someone else.
So Toga decided that "hes just tenderizing"
...Dabi really hoped she was actually joking this time.
/
After a few months, Dabi found himself dragged by his thumbs out of his room.
He wasnt all too pleased at the revelation that there was some "big plan" that "desperately needed him"
Which, in truth, was just Toga dragging him outside to some random abandoned part of town so she could go test a "new shiny knife" she had found on the floor the other day. Dabi didnt know if he had the heart, or cared enough for that mattter, to inform her that it was not at all shiny and she'd probably already gotten tetanus from touching that rusty hunk of metal.
So Dabi found himself practically babysitting a girl who was currently stabbing some poor, unsuspecting rodent over yonder.
For some reason, the abandoned atmosphere gave him chills. Not in any good way, but the worst goosebumps he'd had in a while.
It wasn't a sense of fear for his safety, or a gut feeling something would go wrong. No, he only got those goosebumps when he thought about Hawks.
The past was probably his worst enemy. So when he had to reminisce of leaving his best friend, and quite honestly his crush, behind-
He didn't like it. Infact he hated it.
So why had he left Keigo like that?
Why did he once again, disappear like it didn't mean a thing to him?
Maybe he was trying to prove something to himself. That the sad, near ridiculous sense of dread that loomed over him concerning the past, didn't exist at all.
Or maybe he was afraid of digging up a grave he thought had long been buried.
He hated being afraid.
He waved his woes away, and walked closer to where Toga was calling out his name.
