So this is like an AU where quirks just started showing up, and nobody wants 'different' in their society.

"Here's your tea darling," Dabi whispered, setting the cup on the table beside you. "It's hot so be careful," he sat down beside you, his legs straddling the bench seat and his arms wrapped around your waist. You could feel butterflies erupting in your stomach, it's amazing how he was able to make you feel this way by a simple action. Only a few months ago, he wasn't the same person he is now. He was terrified, nearly half of his body weight and absolutely terrified of other people. You didn't understand why he trusted you, and nobody else. 

"Why is it so hot today?" You whined, your head tilting back. There was sweat covering your face and you were still halfway down the trail you usually jogged. You decided to get a sip of your water, before walking off the trail a bit to sit down on a stoop. You always came to trail because of the beauty in it, and you never see anyone else on the trail unless you invite your friends to join you, which was very rare. This was the one time you wished they would've said yes. 

Off to your left, you noticed a body laying on the ground, leafs barely covering his body. A bad feeling was in the pit of your stomach, but you decided to slowly make your way towards him, on your way, you picked up a stick and lightly poked him. 

"h-hello?"  

You waited for a minute, your heart rate started to speed up when you realized that you probably just found a dead body, and this honestly made you sick to your stomach. "Sir, if you're alive please do something," you voice was quivering, your free hand slowly started to reach for your phone, "O-Okay, I'm calling the c-cops," you didn't know why you were talking out loud, probably out of fear of not wanting to admit that you found a dead man. This was not how you wanted to start your summer break.

"d-do-" 

Your mouth went dry, did he just speak? Did he seriously just talk? No. Your mind is just fucking with you.

Then you heard a groan from him. 

"Oh shit," you whispered, dropping to the ground, your hands hesitantly grabbing his arm and pulling him onto his back, "I-um, I don't know what I'm doing first off, but do you need water?" you said, your heart nearly stopping when you seen his face. There were scars from mid cheek, going down to his neck. Staples were implanted in his skin, and dried blood crusted around his lips. Your hand moved to prop his head up, your free hand popping the top off the water, "It's ice cold, so um, I-I don't know,"  You said, bringing the tip of the bottle to his lips and squeezing the bottle lightly, you watched as he started to drink the water, his eyes never opened, which made you worry. 

"Okay, I gotta call emergency servi-"

"n-o," his eyes opened, making you freeze. They were a beautiful blue, almost like the ocean right before a storm. His hand reached out and grabbed yours, "p-pl-eas-" You were still stuck on his eyes, you could see he was scared. A genuine fear of going to a supposed safe place. What happened to you?  He tried to squeeze your hand, but you could tell he was too weak to do almost anything. 

"okay, b-but I can't pick you up by myself. Let me call my friend, he can help me."

He looked at you, his eyes saddened. You could tell he didn't believe you. But he had no reason to, just like you had to reason to trust him. It was a mutual feeling, you both confirmed that by looking in each others eyes. "Listen, I don't know you and you don't know me. I don't know why you don't want me to call the cops, which honestly is.. suspicious. Like.. do you see where I'm coming from? But I'm trusting you by calling my friend to get you out of here instead of the cops."  You said in a more strict tone, "So you gotta trust me, got it?" You dialed your friend, pressing the phone to your ear.
