A Dance to Death

Love.

"Pey." A raspy male voice says, snapping me back into reality.
I blink rapidly, "Hm?"
"Are you alright?" He asks, slight concern in his voice.
"Yeah." I nod, "Why wouldn't I be?"
He raised an eyebrow as if he was judging the question.
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand on my cheek.
"Are you going to drink? You normally come into our not so lovely built in bar to drink." He takes a drink from his cup.
I shake my head, "No. Also, I'm not that much of an alcoholic, Dabi."
He chuckled, "Had me fooled."
With an offensive look, I hit his arm. He laughs even harder at my reaction. I go to stand up when he puts his arm around my waist, pulling me in.
"Where are you going, princess?"
I scoffed, "Don't call me that."
"I asked a question." He states with a stern voice.
"Away from you." I responded, a little annoyed.
He put his drink down and wrapped his other arm around my waist, imprisoning me in his embrace, "You can't ever get away from me. You know that more than anyone."
My eyes softened, "I know. I have a lot on my mind right now."
He smirked, "I knew something was wrong; you can't fool me no matter how hard you try."
I embraced him, softly nuzzling my head into his neck.
He winced in pain.
"Still hurting?" I asked in a concerned tone.
He nodded, "Yeah. Probably worse pain since the incident."
I pulled out of the embrace, "Do you need me to use my shadows to cool it down?"
He shook his head, "No. I assure you, I'll be fine."
My body went from tense and worried to calm and collected. I put my hands around his neck softly. Activating my quirk, Shadow master, I start cooling down his neck.
"Touy-" I stopped and swallowed, "Dabi, you need to take care of yourself better."
He chuckled, "I haven't heard you almost slip up in a while. I guess you really are worried."
My gaze was sharp, worried, and upset. He noticed it, shutting up.

The smells of burning trees and flesh filled the air like the crisp smell of an autumn night. Screaming rung in my ears like the school bell at the end of the day. My senses had been overwhelmed as I looked at the burning forest in front of me.
"Help me! How do I stop it?!" A boy loudly screamed. I knew that voice.
I ran into the fire. Distorted faces all over the forest watched me like a hawk. I covered my ears and ran as fast as my legs would allow me to.
When I reached a point, I saw a boy.
"Touya?" My voice asked. It was a more high pitched voice than it normally was.
He smiled, reaching for me, "Peyusha, join me in this pit of darkness."

My eyes opened. My breath was panicked and frantic. Dabi's eyes opened quickly, sitting up just as fast.
"What happened?"
I took a deep breath, "Nothing, Honey. It was just a dream."
He rubbed my back, "Alright. Do you, uh, wanna talk about it?"
I shook my head, "No need to. I'm a big girl, I can handle myself."

"You were supposed to go after the other hero with me!" Twice yelled.
"I follow Dabi, you know this. We all know this." I replied sharply.
"We need to work together if we want to infiltrate the hero camp!" A high pitched girl chipped in.
I rolled my eyes, "I don't leave his side. What if he gets hurt?"
"I could have gotten hurt!" Twice replied.
I walked to Dabi, completely ignoring the other two.

I look up at the ceiling; my body burnt and bruised. I felt a sense of pleasure as the pain filled my body. The pleasure was implanted into my brain and rushed through my body as the man I love went on top of me, lightly touching my face.
"I burnt you bad, huh?" He chuckled.
I bit my lip in satisfaction, "I guess you did."
"Does it hurt?"
"Not enough, my love."
