Got to know you | shigadabi

A few days later back in the club

"Soo what are we doing here?" Kurogiri asked skeptically.
"We play a game!"
"Yeah! How bout' dart"

While playing dart a larger group of people had to pass in front of them. After kurogiri counted them to see if no one got lost in the crowd. That was around the time where his heart dropped and got shivers down his spine, when he counted, recounted and re-recounted but everytime they were short by two.

„Who is missing? Hey! Anyone knows who's missing?"
„Dabi did you forget? He didn't come because he wanted to be alone."
„Oh alright" a sigh of relief was heard and then he started again?
„Wait where is tomura?" he looked around for him. No one had told the poor guy that he didn't even come. After kurogiri turned the entire club upside down somebody finally told him (that somebody being twice)
„He didn't even come today."

„That took you long enough twice" he earned a few angry glares but they didn't last long.
„Wait, if he isn't here, then we're is he?"
„Uhh idk where would he be? He's probably sulking at the bar, because we didn't take him with us."
„But there's dabi already-..." their jaws dropped as the realisation settled in.

Meanwhile at dabi's

It was a long day. He had some business to handle with a guy that he sold something to and he didn't want to pay. It was exhausting him and when he finally got to come home, he was happy to be alone.

He searched for the keys and first couldn't find them. That annoyed him. He found them but he needed more tries to fiddle the key into the hole than planned. Then he tried to open it but it was stuck.

He banged on the door in anger and frustration.
Then something happened he didn't expect.
The door opened.

In the club

The others were talking while taking rounds on dart.
"I wonder what the two of them are going to do alone together..." twice said with a smirk but kurogiri just shook his head and threw a perfect point.
"I doubt they did it on purpose"
"I feel like they'll kill each other when they find out..."
"Now the question is who will survive?"
"I bet shigaraki. He can make dabi decay in an instant."
"Nahh, He wouldn't even get near dabi. He could burn him off as soon as he sees him"
"But just the fact that he's burning wouldn't be enough to make shigaraki stop killing dabi."
"That could be true..."

While the others were still debating over who will win, our ship starts sailing (almost sinking but it's a start)

Meanwhile in the bar

Dabi went inside, standing there, looking at shigaraki, slowly crushing his dreams of being alone after long day of interacting with people.
He gave him a stare that could have revive the dead. And they start speaking at the same time

"What are you doing here?"
"Why are you here? I thought you went with the others."
"Oh so I can't get a day off?"
Shigaraki gave him a look.
*sigh*
"I gave you guys too much free time."
Dabi went to the bars and sat on one of the chairs next to shigaraki. His head resting on his arms on the countertop.
"Look, man, I've had a long day and I want my peace for once. So can you please leave?"
"Heh... funny, you're trying to kick me out of my own place?"
"I'm not. Look, If you're not leaving, I am."
"Then.leave. You're just my puppet. I wouldn't care if you left"
"But I don't want to go right now so you have to."
"I'm not going to leave just because you're telling me to. Im staying."
Then there was an awkward silence. Dabi went behind the bars to get himself something to drink. An shigaraki watched him thoroughly. God knows what he was thinking.
"Give me a glass of water."
"Am I the bartender now?"
"No, but as long as you're one of my people, in my house, you need to do as I say. Also you're nearer."
Dabi complained but ended up doing as his boss said.
"And what do we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
"No one wants to leave, we can't just not talk, so what did we do?"
"Who said we can't not talk?"
"I do."
"..."
"We're going to stay together for a whole day and maybe till night. So either talk or leave"
"..."
"ANSWER or LEAVE!"
"So you ARE trying to kick me out of my own place. What were you going to do anyway when I'd left? Then you wouldn't have had anyone to talk either."
"It's not like I can't go 5 hours without talking, it's you who's bothering me."
"How am I bothering you when I'm not the one talking? It's more like you're trying to bother me so I leave."
"It's your mere presence. Who'd want to have somebody like you around?"
"YOU ARE THE ONE WHO JOINED MY GROUP"
"THATS NOT BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE WITH YOU!"
"Better be careful. Words can sometimes hurt more that actions."
"What is there on you I could hurt?"
"The fact, that you don't know speaks volumes"
"Oh yeah? Then tell me! AFTER YOU LEFT! Im about to burn your ugly meeting place or whatever that shithole is down!"
"We both won't leave. So why not getting to know each other?"
Dabi sat back on his chair with a sigh and let his head fall on the hard surface. Maybe he should go and find a quieter place... no that would mean letting shigaraki win. He can't do that. He had to make him give up.
"You set it all up, didn't you?"
"I didn't"
"You did."
"Nope"
"Proof it"
"How?"
"Leave."
"I leave when I feel like it."
"Then I believe you set this up."
"Whatever"
"ARGHHH"
