Why do you stay? {Shigadabi}

11

Dabi and Tomura stayed with their friends for a little while longer before deciding to go back to the raven haired man's apartment. The smaller of the two was emotionally overwhelmed with what had happened that day, and Dabi knew it. So he decided for them that they would leave, saying goodbye to their friends.

"Are you sure you guys have to leave so soon?" Toga whined, pouting at the two.

"Yes, we'll be back tomorrow don't worry." Dabi replied, pulling Tomura closer to the door. They finally exited the apartment, heading down to Dabi's car.

"We didn't have to leave so soon you know." The blue haired man said after they got in the car. He turned to look at his boyfriend, worried he had ruined his fun.

"Well, it's been a long day. I can tell you're tired and," he glanced at Tomura " I really want to spend some time with you since ,you know, we haven't got much time alone as a couple yet."

"Well that's your fault idiot. I didn't even want to go I wanted to stay home." The frail artist countered, crossing his arms.

"Oh come on. You know you had fun." Dabi said, grinning.

"That's not the point."

"I know, I know. But maybe I can make it up to you" he replied with a grin.

Tomura rolled his eyes, "Doubt it".

When they got back to the apartment, the blue haired man headed to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. Dabi trailed after him, not knowing he was that upset. The taller of the two hugged his boyfriend from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder. "I'm sorry if I made you upset..."

"I'm not upset." Tomura spoke sharply, indicating the exact opposite of what he said.

"Yes you are," he kissed the side of his head, "I know you are".

"Okay fine," the frail artist turned around, leaning against the counter. "I'm upset. I didn't want to go anywhere today because this relationship thing is brand new to me. I wanted at least a little bit of time to get used to it. But you really wanted to go visit everyone so I was okay with it. But then you told Toga, my best friend, before I could get to tell her or even give permission to tell her. I knew I wouldn't want to tell her right away because she can't keep a secret. And that's exactly what happened. I haven't even had time to process what's happened before another thing happens that I didn't plan on." He spoke with his eyes to the ground, not wanting to look at Dabi while telling him all of this. He was pathetic, he knew that, all the little things that upset him. But he had to be honest.

Dabi was silent for a minute before responding, taking in what he heard. "Tomura..." he spoke softly, tucking a stray piece of hair behind his ear. "I'm sorry. I really am. I thought seeing our friends would help ease the stress of everything but I understand now that it didn't. Also, I really didn't mean to tell Toga, it just happened without thinking. She told me you liked me and it just kind of slipped out."

Tomura sighed, leaning against Dabi's chest, letting his arms wrap around him tightly. "I'm just tired..."

"I know..." he kissed the top of the blue haired man's head. "We can go lay down and call it a night." he pulled away, looking at him.

Tomura looked up at him "You want me to stay the night here?"

"Only if you want to... It's totally up to you".

"Well I mean... If you're okay with it I will" he said, picking at his finger nails.

Dabi smiled, "Of course I'm okay with it, I suggested it creep".

"I was just checking idiot".

Dabi grinned, leading him to the couch. He turned on a movie and laid down, his back against the back of the couch. He patted the space in front of him for Tomura, who shyly came over and laid next to him, leaning into his arms and watched the movie. Dabi smiled, happy to finally have his boy. He reflected back on the day and he really couldn't believe things had worked out.

He was so horrible to Tomura in the beginning, he never thought he'd be forgiven, let alone this. He was so happy that things had worked out this way.

Tomura felt the same way, he was extremely happy to be there in Dabi's arms. He turned over to face him and smiled. Sure, Dabi was frustrating and annoying and an idiot but he was also sweet and made him feel safe. Not to mention he was incredibly attractive. Like seriously, Tomura could not believe how good he looked even with the littering of burn scars.

Dabi focused on the blue haired boy in his arms and raised an eyebrow. "You seem unusually calm and happy".

He rolled his eyes. "Shut up. You make me happy okay?"

Dabi grinned, "Awww wow look at you being all endearing and shit. I almost think I should take a picture to remember this rare occurrence".

"Oh my god you are so annoying..." he said, moving to get up.

"No no no no," Dabi quickly moved and pulled him back. "I was just kidding... you make me happy too".

"Aw look at you being endearing," Tomura said in a mocking tone.

Dabi rolled his eyes and grinned, rolling so he was hovering above his boyfriend. He tickled his side with one hand, using the other arm to block him in so he couldn't escape. Tomura erupted with laughter because of how ticklish he was as he squirmed around, trying his best to fend off the raven haired man.

After a minute or so, Dabi stopped tickling, and instead rubbed his side until Tomura could catch his breath. He smiled, "You're beautiful, you know that?"

The frail artist blushed, turning his head to break eye contact. "Shut up..."

"No really," Dabi started, gently turning his head back to face him. "You're absolutely stunning Tomura Shigaraki. And I don't care how many times I have to say that until you believe it... because it's true." He went to grab his hand, but the smaller of the two instinctively pulled away. "No, it's okay. You're not going to hurt me. Look," he laced their fingers together, and Tomura kept his pinky raised. "I'm still here. It's okay"

Tomura nodded, watching his hand to ensure nothing happened.

"Tomura..."

He looked back at Dabi only to feel their lips connecting. The raven haired man continued to rub his side gently, tightening his hold on his hand. Their lips moved together perfectly, noses occasionally bumping softly. Dabi didn't press too much, it was just a soft, loving kiss.

Dabi pulled away and kissed Tomura's cheek, flipping them so they were back in their original position. He held onto the other tightly, who's head was tucked into the crook of his neck.

They stayed like that for a while, Tomura fell asleep of course and Dabi finished the movie. He really didn't want to move after it was over so he just pulled a blanket over the two of them and turned off the tv. He kissed the mop of blue hair sticking out from the blanket and relaxed, finally able to get a good night's sleep.

Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope you're staying safe and healthy in these strange and chaotic time. My life is entirely more stressful now as I deal with the looming threat of the remainder of my senior year being cancelled. Plus I do have a compromised immune system so I really have not left the house much at all. It sucks a lot but I'm doing what I must. I really do hope all of you are okay and if you ever need anything my messages are open though I cannot promise that I'll answer you right away (you guys know how I am with activeness). Anyways I wish you all a goodnight or morning or afternoon or whatever and I hope you enjoy this purely self indulgent fluffy chapter
