"you need to leave, now."
his words were sharp, yet his eyes betrayed his harsh tone. the turquoise pools of emotion were soft and loving, contrasting with his stereotypical rugged and sinful appearance.
"why? please let me stay with you!" [name] sniffled, her sweet [e/c] eyes watering with shimmering tears.
purple-scarred hands reached for soft [s/c] ones. they looked calloused and cold, but to [name], they were familiar and accepting.
"i've killed so many people... [name], I'm on the run and go. i'm a criminal. you can't be with someone like me," dabi said, his voice stern, laced with underlying pain. he couldn't bear to see her like this, but deep in his mind, he knew she was better off without him.
"dabi, we've made it work for this long. I don't care if you're a criminal... I love you! we love each other!" she said, desperately grasping at reasons.
"that was before I started getting more involved with the league of villains..." dabi groaned, letting go of her smaller hands and tugging at his dark locks with frustration. [name] immediately frowned as he pulled away, already missing the feeling of his touch.
dabi loved her, more than words could say. but she was too pure, too innocent for him, and he couldn't drag her into his shithole of a messy life. she would only get hurt, or worse, killed.
"don't call me in the nighttime anymore. I can't give you all my troubles and demons, [name]. I love you too much for that. you'll have to watch me struggle from far." dabi said, handing her the last bag full of her things. his own ocean-colored eyes threatened to betray him as he felt tears dwelling in the corners of them.
"y-you can't be serious..." [name] stuttered, looking up at the taller male with an absolutely heartbroken expression on her face. "dabi... please let me stay, just for tonight..."
the villain clenched his jaw and turned around.
"fine. just for tonight. but first thing tomorrow, you're out of here and going somewhere safe. away from me." the man said.
[name] dropped her things on the worn couch in the empty hideout and took dabi's hand in her small and untouched [s/c] one. she led him to his room and turned off the lights. the two collapsed on his bed.
[name] pulled the soft covers up so that it covered the two of them. dabi wrapped his arms around [name]'s waist as the [h/c] haired girl pulled him close into her chest, gently ruffling his hair in a nurturing manner.
she whispered sweet nothings in his ear, occasionally placing gentle kisses on his forehead, knowing that she was the only one who he allowed himself to be so vulnerable around.
the next morning, dabi woke up to see [name] protectively in his arms, the two having shifted their positions in the night. her beautiful [e/c] eyes were closed and her face seemed relaxed. her body pressed against his naturally warm one, [name]'s hand was clenched tightly onto dabi's shirt.
dabi looked down at [name] and despite keeping his usual tough expression, his heart's pace increased.
she really did love him, no matter what. she trusted him. she felt safe with him. she healed him. and it was in that moment that he realized; neither of them could survive without the other.
