I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 77: Kindness

Kindness

“What should we do now that the parents are out?” Denki asked, arms crossed behind his head as they walked down the street from where they had parted ways with Gon and Killua.
Dabi shrugged. “We should probably get a place to stay for the night,” he mentioned.

“Oh! I know of a nice, cheap inn we can stay in!” Alluka announced with a bright grin as she glanced back at the group.
Katsuki grunted. “Christ, another human sun, that's five now,” he grumbled.

Shoto gave him a curious look. “Five?”
Katsuki nodded. “Izuku, Eijirou, Gon, Denki and now Alluka, too,”
“Oh, that's right,” Shoto spoke as realisation hit.
“You think I'm a human sun?” Denki asked in amusement.

“Course you are, babe, just look at you, all bright and joyful,” Hitoshi pointed out as he shoved his hands into his pants pockets.
Denki smiled brightly at him, moving to hug his right arm to his chest. “Awh, Hitoshi baby, I love you!”

“Your affections make me want to vomit,” Dabi stated.
Hitoshi grinned lazily at him. “Yeah? Is it cause you're jealous you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend?” He questioned.

Dabi gave him an uninterested glance before he tilted his head back to gaze up at the sky.
“What are your preferences, anyway?” Denki asked curiously. “You like girls or boys better?”
Dabi frowned slightly. “It never ceases to amaze me how you can go from seeing me as a villain, to seeing me as a close enough friend to ask personal questions like that in the span of a week,”

Denki waved a hand. “Never mind all that, just answer the question!”
Dabi sighed, eyes rolling up to stare at the cloudless sky again, considering the question for a few moments before he shrugged. “I don't really care,” he answered.

“Is everyone in this group gay?” Hitoshi mumbled to himself.
“I don't think Tenya's gay,” Eijirou pointed out with a small smile.
“Hey, four eyes, fucking tell me if you like someone!” Katsuki demanded, turning a harsh glare on the beta male.

“No, there isn't really anyone catching my attention right now. Besides, I'm focused on my hero career for now,” Tenya replied as he adjusted his glasses, the sun reflecting on the lenses and concealing his glance at his secret love interest.
Katsuki snorted. “Fucking figures,”
“What about you, Ochaco? Is there anyone you like?” Izuku asked curiously.

Ochaco blushed lightly as she rubbed the back of her neck. “Well, not really,” she trailed off, eyes glancing at Tenya a few times before averting to the ground.
“I see what's going on,” Shoto voiced, nodding his head with a thoughtful look before he moved to walk beside his brother.

Izuku sighed in relief, he'd been a bit paranoid that Shoto would say something and embarrass Ochaco; he was far too blunt sometimes. Dabi turned as he felt Shoto's colder right arm brush against his, smiling softly at his little brother, he reached out and ruffled his hair, watching as the two colours mixed together to create a pinkish colour.

“What was that for, Touya?” Shoto asked, blinking up at him curiously, not even bothering to fix his hair.
Dabi chuckled softly. “I just felt like it,” he stated with a soft smile.

Alluka led them to the inn, where they got a few rooms to sleep in for the night while Gon and Killua dealt with their things. They ended up in one room, eating pizza as they joked and laughed about stupid things. Dabi, surprisingly, had a lot of funny stories to tell about his time with the League.

He told them about the frequent pranks he and Toga had played on Shigaraki, including the one time Dabi had managed to lead the other male into running into a wall. He had started cackling so hard at the memory, he nearly fell off the bed.
