The Blood Puppeteer { BNHA Villains x fem!OC } - Book 1

48 - Stuck in the Dark

"My best dreams and worst nightmares have the same people in them."

The entire way home was dead silent. Neither of the boys spoke up, nor did I. Shigaraki walked ahead of us while Dabi lingered near me, but not enough to be hovering.

At first my thoughts were blank. I attempted to recall the fight, how Toga and I got so bloodied up. But I couldn't. It was a blur and it bothered me. I couldn't seem to get myself to care about hurting Toga. We were told to fight, I was training. She knew what she signed up for or at least what to expect.

Shigaraki muttered something under his breath as he entered the house. Dabi and I followed suit. Shigaraki seemed deep in thought, that much was obvious. Dabi on the other hand? I couldn't really tell. I turned to head down the hallway back to my bedroom but I hesitated. Before I could dwell too much on the fact, Dabi grabbed my wrist and wordlessly pulled me to the dining table.

He made me sit and then walked into the kitchen to grab the med kit from under the sink. Wordlessly he walked back over to me. I took off his jacket and threw it on the table half haphazardly. Dabi started to clean up the blood with a wet rag causing a hiss of pain to escape my lips. Glaring, I looked away from Dabi. Shigaraki caught my eye as he was pacing around the living room.

"Jinx." Shigaraki muttered as he came to a halt and met my gaze. He looked like he was going to ask something but he stopped himself. Shaking his head he continued to pace and broke eye contact. I couldn't tell what was going through his head, and that bothered me.

Suddenly another sting of pain shot up my arm and I hissed glaring at what Dabi was doing. He didn't even react to my glare, nor my flinching. He just silently worked. The tension in the air was suffocating.

Abruptly Shigaraki stopped. He looked at Dabia nd I before leaving the house completely. Dabi didn't even look as the front door slammed shut.

We sat in a rather... unsavory silence.Occasionally I hissed in pain. After a moment my arms were bandaged as well as my other injuries. Dabi leaned away from me once he finished. He glanced at his handiwork before sighing.

"What happened?" He muttered as he met my gaze.

I paused for a moment as I focused on the color of blue his eyes were. They genuinely were pretty... I focused back on his question and kept silent. What happened? I don't know... it was a blur. I just wanted to fight.

My head tilted to the side a little as I stared at him. I wasn't going to talk if that's what he wanted. A sigh escaped his lips. "Jinx..." He muttered softly as if he was trying to read something in my gaze.

After a long silence he broke it by sighing. He seemed ever so slightly perturbed. He looked as if he wasn't trying to show it, but I've known Toya long enough to know he was irritated. He leaned away and stood up, "Would you rather talk to Shigaraki about it?" He offered softly as he averted his gaze. His tone didn't match his body language, which caused a tinge of... hurt? Was that it?

My thoughts and emotions were too muddied and shut off for me to tell. Which... bothered me. That wasn't right. Keeping my gaze on Dabi I shook my head no. I had no interest in talking to Shigaraki. I had no interest in talking at all.

He paused, noticing my response. It seemed to throw him off a little but he also seemed... relieved? He was quiet for a long while and I was genuinely debating on leaving, but I also didn't exactly want to go back into my room. Everything was numbing right now. I'd rather not go back to my room and sit in that drowning silence. It almost felt dirty to be in there. Unsettling... So I stayed, sitting at the dining table watching Dabi in silence.

"Were you... trying to kill Toga?" He muttered, catching me off guard. No, why would I want to kill Toga? She's a League member. Shigaraki would be pretty damn pissed if I killed her I presume.
