In Love With A Villain (Dabi X Reader)

19 | Training

In the secluded training area of the League's hideout, Dabi took on the role of a mentor for Y/n, guiding her through combat techniques and strategies. As they sparred, Dabi's movements were calculated, and his instructions were delivered with a precision that surprised Y/n.

"Dabi, how do you know so much about this? It's like you're a natural trainer."

Dabi smirks: "Well, I've been around the block a few times. Gotta know how to handle yourself, especially in our line of work."

Y/n couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Dabi's story than he let on. His expertise in combat and training seemed at odds with the enigmatic persona he presented.

"You make it sound like you've had some serious training. Where did you learn all this?"

"Let's just say I've picked up a few things along the way."

Unbeknownst to Y/n, Dabi's skills were rooted in a past as Touya Todoroki, trained by none other than Endeavor, the number 2 hero. His knowledge was a legacy of a different life, a life that he kept hidden from the League.

As the training sessions continued, Y/n's combat prowess improved under Dabi's guidance. She couldn't deny the effectiveness of his methods, but a lingering curiosity about his mysterious background tugged at her thoughts.

"You're getting better, Y/n. Keep it up, and you'll be holding your own against those heroes in no time."

"Thanks, Dabi. But seriously, where did you learn all this? You're like a secret sensei or something."

Dabi's eyes flickered with a hint of nostalgia, a silent acknowledgment of a past he chose to keep buried. Little did Y/n know, her trainer held secrets and skills forged in a world of heroism and family expectations.

In the quietude of the League's hideout, Dabi hesitated for a moment, a weight on his shoulders that seemed to grow heavier with each passing second. Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke, revealing the layers of his past that he had concealed for so long.

Dabi: "Y/n, there's something you need to know. My name isn't just Dabi. It's Touya Todoroki. I'm... I'm Endeavor's son."

Your eyes widened in surprise, your heart quickening as the gravity of Dabi's revelation sank in.

"Touya Todoroki? But... why are you here, with the League?"

Dabi's eyes bore the scars of a turbulent past as he recounted the tale of abuse, neglect, and the relentless pursuit of a father's twisted ambitions. You listened, your heart aching for the pain etched across Dabi's face.

Dabi: "I couldn't stand living under Endeavor's shadow any longer. I left, and I became Dabi. I chose a different path."

You were overwhelmed by the unexpected truth, approached Dabi and gently placed your hand on his shoulder.

"I had no idea, Dabi. You've been through so much. But you're not alone anymore. You have us."

"I didn't expect you to understand or accept-" Dabi says as he looks away

"Hey, we're villains, right? We're not defined by our pasts. I didn't expect this, but it doesn't change how I feel about you. You're not alone anymore, Touya."

In that vulnerable moment, Y/n's words became a lifeline for Dabi. A surge of emotion passed between them, transcending the barriers of secrecy and pain. As you embraced, the weight on Dabi's shoulders began to lift, replaced by the warmth of acceptance and the promise of a shared journey ahead.
