Where You Belong (Eijirou Kirishima x OC)

Starry Nights

"So, what's your plan exactly?" I called out to Eijirou as we ran through the forest.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Well, for starters....have you seen my outfit?! What if we run into our classmates out here? They're gonna think you're working for the league of villains if they see us together. Plus, if we run into the league of villains out here, they're going to try and take you." I explained, realizing this idea was bad from the start.

"Good point. Do you want to split up?" Eijirou said, our heavy breaths and the crunching leaves filling our ears.

"No. I still think it's safer if we're together. We'll just have to play it as we go." I nodded, keeping my eyes open for anything suspicious.

The deeper Eijirou and I got into the forest, the more visible Dabi's blue flames became.

"Jeez, why did that asshole have to set the whole forest on fire!? Hasn't he ever heard of global warming?" Eijirou scoffed, coughing lightly from the smoke.

"That's what I'm saying!" I replied, throwing my hands up in agreement.

It was quiet, as Eijirou and I slowed our pace, trying to be cautious of falling debris from the fire.

"Dabi. That's his name, right?" He asked, after some time.

His voice sounded a little lower. A little more serious, compared to his usual happy go lucky self.

"Yeah." I simply uttered, sensing Eijirou's change in attitude.

He nodded, looking straight ahead into the blue, glowing forest.

"You realize he's got a thing for you?" He replied shortly, still keeping his gaze straight ahead.

I furrowed my brows in confusion.

Where was this coming from?

After seeing Eijirou's serious attitude towards the matter, I didn't really want to say anything.

But still...I needed to be truthful to him. I couldn't lie to him. I didn't want to.

"Y-Yeah. I do know that. He tried to make a move on me, a few months after I joined the league." I uttered softly, peering over at Eijirou.

I saw his jaw tense slightly at my words.

"Didn't you say he was the one who recruited you into the league, too? So, basically....he had you join, in hopes that you'd date him? That's bullshit, if you ask me." He mumbled irritatedly, a sour glare on his face.

I sighed, as I listened to his words. Even if I wasn't on Dabi's side anymore, I didn't have it in my heart to fully bash him.

He did save my life, after all.

"Well....that's not exactly it. The way Dabi and I met was.....complicated." I started out softly, slowing down more as I began feeling the flashbacks coming back.

Eijirou slowed down with me, looking at me in concern now.

He remained quiet, studying my face.

Tell him, Margo. Tell Eijirou how you met Dabi.

Tell him what you did.

I felt my heartbeat picking up now, and my breathing start becoming erratic.

I inhaled sharply, as I remembered my first meeting with Dabi quickly:

"Stop!! Let me go! Somebody help me!!"

"I-I can't stop it!! I'm so sorry!!" I sobbed out to the person, trying to control my quirk with all my strength.

"You're powerful, you see." Dabi whispered in my ear—
