Crushing

Snap, Snap

7/13/2018

Tomura groaned as the bright blue light from his phone shone in his sleepy eyes. Haphazardly he paws at his bedside, finally clasping the device.
As he checks the screen, he notices a snap is what woke him up. The notification bubble reads "DABi 🔥", and Tomura rolls his eyes as he reads the man's ridiculous snap name.
Tomura had never been one for social media, but his scar faced friend insisted he make a snapchat, "for emergencies". As if an emergency were to ever occur that would spurr Tomura to desperately reach for his snapchat, but Tomura knew it was just so Dabi could torture him. Tonight being exemplary of that.
He swipes open the notification.
He taps to open the image, revealing the dark haired man dressed in a black muscle shirt, the caption reading "You up?"
Tomura replied,

Shigaraki: I am now.
Dabi 🔥 is typing...

Tomura wiped some sleep from his eyes, reading the reply.

Dabi 🔥: oh. K
Dabi 🔥: cool

Tomura sneered at his screen. 4 o'clock in the fucking morning for a "cool"? Was the man trying to waste his time ?
He simply turned off his phone screen, hoping to enjoy some early morning silence.

The phone flashed bright again.

What the hell could this guy want?

Groggily, the man dragged his fingers across the screen, reading the next message.

Groaning, he did.
And boy was that a mistake.

The picture held Dabi, single arm up, flexing. So thats what the shitty get up was for. Tomura couldnt help think. The scar faced man also wore a shit eating grin, highlighted by the harsh flash of his crappy phone camera.

He didnt know whether to laugh or cry or die of embarrassment or screenshot.
It was four o clock in the fucking morning!

He decided a calm approach was best. Who knows what goes on in that crazy mans head?

Shigaraki: Was that supposed to be your sad attempt at flexing?

Tomura snickered at his own reply.

Shigaraki: Was that supposed to be your sad attempt at flexing?
Dabi 🔥: lol like you could do better, skin and bones

Tomura huffed, flustered. He had to prove Dabi wrong. He shucked off his dingy night shirt and aimed the camera at his shirtless body and bicep. The front flash illuminated his face and body and he had snapped the pic. Feeling confident, he sent the image. Resting the phone on his bare chest as he lay down, Tomura stared pensively out at the window of his room out to the dark city. As he became lost in his thoughts, the familiar light from his phone could be seen. He swiped open the chat.

Dabi 🔥 replayed your photo.
Dabi 🔥 took a screenshot!

Tomura's heart dropped in his chest, his eyes widening. Trying not to become worried, he hastily typed,

Shigaraki: Hey, what the hell?!
Dabi 🔥 is typing...

Tomura shut off the screen and held the device to his chest, his mind wandering. What the hell did Dabi need to keep the picture for? Why the hell did he even send it? Is he going to send that to the entire League of Villains, so they can mock him? So Dabi can push Tomura to the side as their ringleader and take his place? What the hell, Dabi?! Tomura scratched his neck unconsciously. Shit, and just when he thought the two were becoming... acquaintances.

Dabi 🔥: lookin good
Shigaraki: Not funny, Dabi!
Dabi 🔥: im not laughing. You look good, mura.

Tomura flushed. Mura? Was that... an insult? But, the man said it wasn't a joke. What the hell did he mean?

Shigaraki: "Mura"?
Dabi 🔥: yea. s my nickname for you

Tomura rolled his eyes at the man's sloppy typing, but at the same time couldn't help but feel his heart quicken. Dabi was close enough to him to form a nickname? He had no idea the man felt this way. His screen lit up once more.

Tap to open

This time it was a video.
Now shirtless, Dabi held a small blue flame in his hands. To his surprise, the man was making shapes and dancing figures with the flame, the light glinting in his eyes and off of his playful grin. The snap then ended, leaving Tomura staring at the bright screen with his mouth agape.
Impressed and slightly flattered (Tomura did not know Dabi had a light, playful side to him, or that he would be willing to show it to him of all people), Tomura flushed pink. The gesture was almost... flirtatious, which added fuel to Tomura's blush.

Shigaraki: Very impressive.
Dabi 🔥: lol thx
Dabi 🔥: just for you 🖤

At that Tomura nearly threw his phone. Okay, now he could tell Dabi was definitely being flirtatious, sending Tomura's mind into a whirlwind as he pondered what to possibly write next.

Shigaraki: Oh. How... kind. And here I thought you were a heartless villain.
Dabi 🔥: nope trust me baby im rotten to the core
Shigaraki: "Baby"? Do you have me mistaken for someone else? Or are all those cremation fumes getting to your head
Dabi 🔥: nope and nope but you get me higher than a kite, sugar
Shigaraki: GROSS!!
Dabi 🔥: hahahaha
Shigarki: LOL

Tomura smiled, setting his phone down finally. He felt like a teenage girl texting his crush, but who cares? If thats so, then he was totally crushing on Dabi. And he's pretty sure Dabi is crushing on him.
