Disdain [Dabi x Reader]

A/N: It's 2:47AM rn, I've noticed that I always get motivated to complete a chapter past midnight for some reason. My life has been very hectic recently, I think I got the fanfic writer curse. Sorry for not updating for so many months and thank you to whoever is still reading this! Also, I haven't proofread this so, sorry for any grammatical errors!

Long(er) chapter ahead,,,

"(y/n) wake up already!"

(Y/n) groaned as they felt small hands aggressively shake the side of their arm. Rather than gasping and jumping out of bed like a forest animal had broken into the house, alert and prepared to drive away any sort of attacker and/or intruder, (Y/n), in their heavily sleep-deprived state simply pulled away their arm, gave a quick shooing motion with their hand and rolled onto their side, facing away from Touya.

The boy's face scrunched up in frustration. He hopped onto the bed and started shaking them even harder.

"...Stop it...! Just a few more minutes..." (y/n) mumbled with a low rumble.

"You said that an hour ago!' Touya insisted.

"Go away, frankenstein, I already gave you breakfast..." They groaned.

"That was three hours ago! And I'm bored," He complained. He started pinching their arm and in response they jolted, their eyes snapping open. They sent him an annoyed stare which he returned with an angry one.

"Go play with a ball or something." They said and pushed Touya away. The boy grunted, catching himself before he could fall off the bed. He may have underestimated his caretaker's strength. " we don't have a ball!"

Touya didn't fail to notice (Y/n) increasing tendency to sleep longer than usual and take several accidental momentary naps throughout the day. Sometimes while (Y/n) was tutoring Touya, they'd prop their cheek on their palm and doze off into sleep, and he would watch awkwardly as their caretaker's head slowly slid forward and off their palm before their face would slam against the table and, startled, (Y/n) would shoot up from their seat with their hands out-stretched, ready to use their quirk.

He always thought (Y/n) would stay up all night and sneak out the house to do their, 'evil', 'villaness' job. Little did he know, (Y/n) had stopped participating in those acts a while after they took him in. Their extensive lack of sleep was in fact due to digging through the tunnel they were working on, which was almost complete, and placing quirk interrupters around the forest, mostly around the area where touya would have to run through to reach the city. Quirk interrupters are devices that almost disrupt someone's quirk, it may lead to the user not being able to use their quirk entirely or cause them to have little to no control of their powers if they activate them, sometimes causing defeaning headaches and loud ringing in the individual's ears. They are illegal in the majority of countries. They were first invented in the UAE and shortly after exported to many other regions, only for the government and the police force to use, of course. However, after an incident in Poland due to these gadgets that caused mass casualties, a lot of discourse and issues arose, and in order to keep international peace, the UAE decided to discontinue them.

"(Y/n)"

But predictably, criminals started selling them on the dark web. (Y/n) struggled immensely to get their hands on these things, as their number is minimal, even Boton couldn't help them.

"(Y/N)!"
(Y/n) let out a pained yelp when they felt the mass of Touya's body fall harshly on their stomach. They blinked frustratingly at him then let out a defeated sigh.

"How do kids have so much energy..." they groaned.

"I'm not a kid, I'm 13," he frowned, rolling off of them. (Y/n) stared silently at the wooden ceiling as they processed his words.
