Instinct.....(Dabi x Reader)

Chapter 1 pt2 Phase One

           The morning shines in through the window. Illuminating the particles in the air as Dabi scrolls through his phone at the bar. The news headlines praising BAkugou for another successful villian pursuit. Dabi's grip on his phone tightens, the screen nearly cracking under the pressure. His eyes blaze with contempt fury evident in his gaze.
         "That's what they are calling what he did to her? They praise him now, they won't when they see the truth." HE sinners at the article, disgust clear in his eyes. His gaze shifts as SHigaraki comes in with the tablet, eyeing you.
         "Who pissed in your coffee this morning?" Dabi doesn't even bother to look up,  his focus on the phone as he answers with venom in his voice. "Just the so-called 'hero' they can't stop gushing about on the news. "He scoffs, rolling his shoulders. "It's sickening...." Shigaraki slides the tablet across the bar.
       "Then you will be pleased to know that I got all the contact information for his former classmates, teachers, friends basically anyone he has had contact with...even his family." Dabi smirks as he takes the tablet, his eyes already scanning the information before him.
       "THis is perfect. They'll get a first-row seat to the downfall of their 'explosive hero'." He look up at Shigaraki with a dark glint in his eye. "Time to expose the truth." Shigaraki gestures towards him.
      "Be my guest." Dabi opens the gallery and begins selecting all the photos, the videos...everything. He opens the message app and selects...everyone. Teachers, classmates, family members, friends everyone. He presses send as a sadistic smile washes over him. The messages rolling. At first, asking who this was. What it was. Then after a few minutes...they started fighting amongst each other. Saying the pictures were fake and the videos....then.....the hate. The sickeningly satisfying hate rolling in. Disgust, disownment. Dabi leans back, watching the notifications flood in with a grim satisfaction.
     "Let them see the real Bakugou...." His voice laced with malice. "The world 's going to see him for the monster he is." He looks to the tablet his smile growing as the chaos unfolds across the hero community. His smile quickly fades as a message from Bakugou comes through.
           -I don't know who the fuck you think you are but that little bitch is as good as dead next time I see her. I'll rip her pretty little tail and ears off myself. She won't be able to run back to that scarred ass hole this time.-
      Fury slowly rises in his stomach... his eyes darken, cracking his knuckles. A twisted sense of anticipation rising. He types back without hesitation.
     -You lay a finger on her, and you'll beg for Tartarus as a refuge.- He slams the tablet down. His voice low and cold.
     "Don't worry Katsuki...you'll get what's coming to you." Shigaraki no about to talk as you phone starts to ring. Your stir awake and hold the phone to your ear.
      "Hello?" You jerk your head back, the two men could hear the yelling coming from the phone. "I don't know how you got this number, but you need to leave me alone Bakugou. I am not yours, You don't get to control me anymore." Dabi's attention snaps to you, his protective instincts flaring as he hears the name Bakugou. He is on his feet in an instant and immediately by your side.. ready to intervene if need be.
     "Hang up Kat." His voice a low growl through gritted teeth, the thought of that degenerate screaming at you more than he could take. "He's not worth your breath or your peace." Bakugou says something Dabi can't hear and he watches as your ears fold back, a yoweling growl escaping your lips. Your lips curl back and you bare your fangs. Your voice a growl and full of fury.
     "You won't touch a hair on his head!"  Dabi snatches the phone and puts it up to his ear, a sadistic smile spreading across his lips. His voice drips with malice as he speaks into the phone.
      "Bakugou, you're starting a fight you can't finish. Come after her, and your end will be by my hands." He smiles sickeningly the threat as real as the fire in his veins. "Keep digging your grave asshole." Bakugou growls, his voice loud and brash.
      "What, so she fucking you now? Tch what a slut, leaving me for a villain. I'll kill here, better keep that kitty on a tight leash. Or next time you see her, she will be in a body bag. She is mine...I always get her back...one way or another." Dabi's eyes flare with a fury at Bakugou's words. He steps away from you as his body starts smoking.
     "Watch your mouth, or I'll sew it shut." His grip tightens on the phone as you stand, concern growing in your heart for the smoking flame wielder close to losing control of his quirk. "Threaten her again, and it will be the last thing you do Bakugou Katsuki." The last thing he hears is Bakugou gasping on the phone as he ends the call, crushing the phone in his hand. You move towards him and he holds his hand up.
     "Don't....don't touch me. I will burn you...." You hold your hands to your chest. Glancing at Shigaraki who was as equally as concerned.
      "Dabs, what did he say to you to get you so mad." Dabi takes a deep shaky breath. His voice coming out as a growl.
      "Threatened you....called you heinous things....he can't back the threats up but...still...." He meets your eyes, finally controlling his quirk as he gazes into your concerned golden eyes. "I'll...get you a new phone...just....let me handle Bakugou..." You let out a relieved sigh.
     "Yeah...yeah okay I will." You gasp, clutching your side and wincing. Your tail curls around you, your ears still back as you collapse back down on the couch. "Damn....still sore...." Dabi's concern flashes briefly before her agains his composure.
      "You are still healing, don't push it." He steps forward, helping you down to the couch. "Sit down, O'll get you something for the pain." His gaze sharp and protective. "And stay away from phones for a while..." You scoff and lean your had back against the couch.
     "Thanks.....I also need to eat something soon. And kinda don't have a choice big guy....you crushed mine." Shigaraki crosses his arms as Dabi walks up to the bar, asking Kurogiri for pain meds and something for me to eat. Shigaraki walks up to him in a hushed voice.
      "Dabi...what the hell did he say to you?" HE glances at Shigaraki....a cold edge to his voice.
       "He threatened her life, said things about her...about us..." He exhales, a controlled fury in his posture. "Unforgivable things...told him he would regret it...." Dabi's gaze doesn't waiver, reflecting the seriousness of his promise.
       "Damn....well remind me not to get on your bad side sheesh. I'll have boss man get her a new one. Try to keep the destruction to a minimum." Shigaraki walks off as Dabi returns to your side. His destructive tendencies momentarily in check.
     "Food first, then rest." He. Gazes slightly softly at you. A softer edge in his hard persona. "And crusty is right...try not to provoke me." He smirks, an attempt to lighten the mood as he helps you.
     "No promises big guy...sss...ah...fuck." You take the medicine and food, your body slightly trembling. The pain was getting worse. "Dabs...we might need to check this burn....feels like it's getting worse..." Dabi's expression tightens with concern. The obvious staring on your body not going unnnoticed by him. 
     "Show me...now..." He sets aside the food, ready to inspect the burn with a critical eye. "If it's infected, we will need to treat it aggressively." He is already reaching for the medical supplies, ready to care for you. You raise your shirt and his breath hitches. There was blood seeping from the bandages and down your body. The blister had popped. He frowns at the sight, concern etching his features. "This needs attentions now....it looks like it opened up." He crouches down and gently touches the bandage, gazing up at you with pleading eyes. "This is gonna hurt sweetheart, but just....bear with me." The pet name a testament to his concern and regret for the pain he was getting ready to cause you. He begins pulling the bandages away as you lay down. A pained grown coming from your lips as one leg bends up.
      "Fuck...fuck fuck fuck. Dabi that hurts...." You let out a gasp. Dabi's actions are efficient despite the situation.
      "I know..I know....just hang on." He works quickly to clean the wound, watching your reactions carefully. "Almost done here, just stay with me." His tone is a rare mix of empathy and command. When the antiseptics hits your skin you yelp. You squeeze your eyes shut as tears of pain trickle out. Your teeth gritting so hard your fangs were cutting into your gums.
      "Dabi....." You voice strained in pain. Hearing the pain in our voice pulls at something within him. He is hating that he is causing you pain. He softly murmurs.
        "I'm sorry Kat, I know..I am here we are almost done." He peaks softly, finishing up as quickly as he can. He looks into your eyes, offering silent strength. He finishes dressing the burn as you let out a labored breath. Your body relaxing as your head turns to him. He reaches up and pets on of your ears. His voice barely a whisper. The tender moment brought forth by the severity of pain you endured. "You did good, Kat. Really good." His touch is cautious, not anting to disturb her further, yet offering comfort. "Rest now." You grab his hand as he turns to leave.
      "I know.....fuck...I know how I want to expose him Dabs...."
