50: Towards a New Stage

Well, this is awkward.

There's no doubt that Chisaki can be overprotective, quick to lose his temper, and for lack of a better word, just generally unstable, but you suppose this time you can't really blame him for it. Here you are, a cute, innocent teenage girl, spending time with a random adult man. An adult man who looks like he's either everyone's drug dealer, a serial killer, or an arsonist.

Although you don't have any actual proof for the first one, you wouldn't be surprised if he went three for three as his canon self.

"Who the hell are you?" Chisaki repeats, and he's already stormed over to pull you close to him, out of Dabi's reach. His eyes are sharper and more remorseless than ever, and even when you insistently tug on his sleeve, he still doesn't calm down.

Dabi blinks several times. His expression is neutral, for the most part, but upon hearing Chisaki use the word sister, he's obviously able to make the connection.

"Ah," he finally says. "So, you're her older brother. I was wondering what you were like, but now that I'm seeing you for myself, I guess she wasn't lying when she said you were kind of crazy."

"I didn't say that," you sweat-drop, looking up at Chisaki with a timid, puppy-eyed expression. "He's lying, Kai. He just likes to say things that are untrue to get a rise out of me."

Dabi snorts. "You literally told me that your brother is batshit insane-"

"Ahhh, shut up, shut up, shut up! We can't hear you! Lalalalala! Nobody can hear you! Lalalalala! You're just a big fat liar!"

Dabi is visibly unimpressed, but thankfully, Chisaki doesn't flash you any offended, accusatory looks. Kurono certainly does, except you're not really paying any attention to him because he's irrelevant, as far as you're concerned.

"You still haven't answered my question," Chisaki seethes, one arm protectively wrapped around your waist. "Do you even realize that she's a high-schooler? You disgusting piece of trash."

"Dabi, he thinks you're a predator," you whisper.

"Yeah, thanks, I got that."

Chisaki's eyes grow dangerously wide. "Is this a joke to you?"

"No. But it sounds like it's a joke to your precious little sister. She's the one who's not taking it seriously." Dabi lets out a heavy sigh. "Anyway, it's not what you seem to think it is. We were just talking. If I wanted to do something creepy like that, do you really think we'd be sitting on a bench together in public, where everyone can see us? Come on, use your head, idiot."

Oh my god. This guy might actually have a death wish.

This time, Kurono is the one to react with a venomous sneer. "How dare you speak to Kai like that. Apologize immediately. Before you end up regretting it."

"Oh," Dabi hums. "What's this? Was your brother out on a date with his boyfriend or something?"

"Boyfriend-?!"

Kurono freezes up in disbelief. You're not really sure what he's acting so surprised about. He dick-rides Chisaki so much that it's pretty much the obvious conclusion, especially from an outsider's perspective. He's making a big show of acting taken aback, but you bet he's actually really happy with what Dabi just said. Chisaki, however, looks almost too disgusted to even put into words.

"You're absolutely sick," he grits out. "Get the fuck out of here. And if I ever catch you near [Name] again, it'll be the last thing you ever do."

You tug on Chisaki's sleeve again, making sure to huff exasperatedly this time. "Kai, remember what I said before? About not making death threats from now on?"
