Don't Judge a Book

genesis

Dabi stared out at the lawn he'd previously managed for a few years. It had been about a month since calling off the whole 'end of the world' situation. He'd completely forgotten to check up on Kai's demonblight, until now, that is. He scratched the back of his neck and walked the long lawn. He climbed up the steps and looked around, unsure of if he should really knock. 

The door opened without him needing to do anything. Kai stared at him, blinking in a confused fashion. "Touya? Is that really you?" he muttered out. 

"Really sorry about dropping off the face of the earth like that without even giving you my two weeks notice," Dabi forced a laugh. "Some family issues came up and I barely had any time to think." 

Kai jumped up and hugged Dabi causing the two to fall to the ground and down the stairs a bit. "I wasn't expecting this sort of reaction, sir," Dabi held out his arms, unsure of if he should hug back or...

"I'm just glad you're okay. I thought something awful happened to you." 

"Something awful did happen to me, actually," Dabi confessed. "But you wouldn't understand about half of it if I told you. Anyway, how are you feeling? Did you get any more sudden fevers?" 

"No, none at all," Kai clung to him. 

"Are you going to get off of me?" 

"If I do, are you going to disappear again?" 

"Not immediately, no." 

"Oh hell nah," Tomura climbed up the stairs and grabbed the back of Kai's jacket, forcing him off of Dabi. "We ain't doing this bullshit again." 

"What are you even doing here?" Dabi groaned, getting up off of the stairs. His back hurt from the impact. 

"I'm keeping a close eye on my property," Tomura kept a tight grasp on Kai's hood, refusing to release it. He didn't want another hug to take place. 

"Touya, who is this?" Kai snatched his hood away from Tomura by force and looked at him before going back to looking at Dabi. 

"He is my..." Dabi began. 

"Boyfriend." "Fuck buddy." The two said very different things at the same time. 

"Fuck buddy," Dabi repeated. Tomura squinted at him. "Until further notice?" he tried to correct himself. Tomura continued squinting. "We aren't boyfriends at this moment but it could end up like that." Tomura, realizing he wasn't going to get a better answer, decided to let it go. He crossed his arms and let out a long sigh. 

"You're technically still available then?" 

"He isn't available," Tomura took a step in-between Dabi and Kai. "Not in a million years would he be interested in dating a pretty boy like you," he pointed. 

"I assume dating an individual who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'skincare' is the alternative?" 

"Okay, settle down ladies," Dabi placed his hands on their chests and pushed them away. "The problem here isn't that you're so goddamn beautiful. The problem here is our age difference and the fact we are different species." 

"What are you talking about?" Kai didn't seem phased to hear they might be aliens or something supernatural. He was more interested in the reason why he was being rejected. 

Dabi grabbed Kai's hand and walked inside to a closed room. Tomura followed. He locked the door and revealed his ragged appearance. Horns, fangs, long nails, and everything (with the exception of taking off his sunglasses to reveal his eyes). "We're demons." Tomura usually never revealed his horns but he decided it would be best this time. They were a pale blue, like the shade of his hair. A pointed tail grew out of his lower back. One that fits the classic stereotypes of demons. 

"I don't care," Kai shrugged, not batting an eye. "I like you, Touya." 

"His demon name is Dabi, actually," Tomura corrected, "and we are a package deal," he gestured to the two of them. "I ain't handing him over," he grabbed Dabi's arm. 

"That's fine too, I guess," he shrugged again. "If the choice is to share him or not have him at all, I'd rather share." 

"Won't this be bad for your business?" Dabi scratched his arm. He felt a bit awkward. He hadn't actually ever told a human he was a demon before. He figured he'd get more of a reaction than this. 

"I highly doubt in this time period that people will care if I have a boyfriend or not," Kai chuckled. 

"Boyfriends. Two. Plural. If you think I'm letting you tell the world he is your boyfriend alone, you have another thing coming. Fucking pretty boy," Tomura snapped. 

"Wait a minute. I haven't agreed to be anyone's boyfriend," Dabi frowned. "I still don't know where my emotions are. It would be wrong, wouldn't it? To just use you guys like that?" 

"Aloe vera," Tomura placed his hands together and forced himself to stifle a laugh. "You're a fucking demon, get over it. We're you're boyfriends now." 

"I agree with skincare over here," Kai pointed. "There is really no need for you to feel bad. We're all okay with the situation." 

"It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to get some feelings for us," Kai and Tomura grabbed hands and pressed their cheeks together to look at him, both smiling the same sadistic grin (even if one was covered by a mask). "We're going to murder anyone you try to cheat on us with." 

"I'm not sure if I liked it better when you two hated each other...or..." Dabi pointed to Tomura and then to Kai and then back to Tomura. The two continued grinning, taking one step closer to Dabi, then another, and another, until he was backed up against the door. 

"How much of your skin is actually scarred?" Kai placed his finger on Dabi's chest, running it down his torso. 

"He'd like to know, for science purposes of course," Tomura snickered, taking off his shirt. 

"Indeed," Kai let his jacket fall to the ground. He removed his gloves and mask as well. 

"Goddamnit," Dabi's breath hitched. "I hate both of you." 

"We love you too," they said in sync.

Izuku walked through Heaven trying his best to avoid the nervous glances people made. He took a deep breath and opened the doors to God's room. "Mother?" 

"Ah, yes, Izuku," God's light didn't blind him like it did his siblings or other angels but he found himself looking away, almost ashamed. "You've been acting out against my plan."

"I like Earth, as you know," Izuku muttered. 

"You've even started a relationship with the son of Satan-" 

"No, we aren't together," Izuku corrected. "It didn't end up like that." 

"The son of Satan's brother," she finished her sentence. Izuku snapped his head up, face flushed, unable to refute he might have feelings for the half-angel. 

"I gave you free will for a reason," she began, "but unfortunately your actions shall not go unpunished." 

"What do you mean?" 

"Take him to solitary," she ordered other angels. They grabbed his arms on either side and dragged him away. "You need to think about what you've done until I've come up with a suitable punishment for you."

"Mother?" Izuku gasped. "Mother please!" 

"I'm sorry, Izuku, but you are the one who made these decisions against my plan." The doors closed and Izuku was taken away.
