Wherever You Go

He's Gonna Hit Me Again

I don't want to do this anymore.
Please, All For One, if you can hear me- please.
Wake me up!
Ive started to hear voices and they aren't mine- they aren't Toga's, Spinner's, Compress's, Kurogori's, Magne's, Jin's, Muscular's, Moonfish's, Mustard's, or fucking Dabi's or anyone else I know!
I've seen flashes of his stupid scarred face-
I don't want to see his face...
He didn't even come say goodbye to me!
He was too busy trying to figure out ring sizes and bullshitting about his favorite condom brand and-
Where am I going with this..?
I swear I had I point..
Master-
Why can't Dabi just leave my mind?
I'm so sick of him.
...
I miss him so much...

...

Dabi took a deep breath.
He just finished his third beer of the night and he was starting to feel light headed.
He couldn't help but keep side glancing at Endeavor beside him. The hero's large hands clenched in and out of fists as he downed another shot.
Dabi felt his head spin at the memories of when Enji used to drink excessively after a long day at work and then come train him- beating him senseless until he couldn't walk.
The villain scooted a little closer to Hawks, idly running a thumb over his scarred arm, feeling the ridges and grooves.
Keigo's cheeks were faintly flushed, his pupils wider than normal.
He slung an arm around Touya's shoulders. "Karaoke time, bitch."
He rolled his eyes at the blond's slurred words but didn't protest.
Maybe it'd be fun to get on stage with Keigo- ignore the crowd and just breathe again.
Karaoke used to be so fun- no matter how cringe worthy and stupid, it was fun because at least they looked stupid together.
That's all that counts, right?
He helped Keigo to his feet and escorted him carefully over to small stage on the back wall.
The dim yellow lights shimmered off the heroes golden hair and haloed him, making his eyes and wings seem to glow.
I can't wait to marry this man.

...

The harsh echo of Keigo's breath in the microphone hit his ears, making him cringe. He would be embarrassed, but he'd spent so long as a pro with thousands of eyes constantly on him that he'd learned not to get embarrassed so easily.
After a moment, Touya walked away from him and approached a man sitting by a computer. As the former villain approached, the man jumped.
It truly wasn't fair, Hawks thought, how people often drew back from Dabi like he was some sort of rabid animal. True, he'd done some horrible things and he was kinda scary looking, but he was so wonderful once you knew him- the real him.
After a moment, the dark haired man returned to his side, grabbing the second microphone. "Ready?"
A beeping beat started playing through the speakers, and the small crowd turned to look at them as the blinding and rather hot spotlights turned to them.
The light bounced of Dabi's staples, making him look shiny and kind of hard to see.
Just before the lyrics started, Endeavor stumbled up to join them.
The former villain stiffened, huddling a little closer to his boyfriend.
Dabi swallowed hard and got singing.
"

Drop it down on villain throw damage."
Both Hawks and Endeavor dropped into squats at his que.
"Booty moving left it's panoramic-" the former villain cut off into a laugh before recovering himself.
Hawks shook his head, trying not to laugh at Endeavor- the normally serious man- seriously over there throwing it back and twerking.
Keigo couldn't handle it- that was too much, he collapsed into a pile on the floor, laughing like as complete maniac.
Dabi just dropped the mic and looked back and forth from his father to his boyfriend.
I shouldn't laugh- it's not funny!
It's not funny-
Oh my gosh it's so fucking funny!
He rolled over, clutching his stomach as it became harder to breath.
Dabi ran off, shoving his way through a door on the far wall.
Fuck, I gotta check on him.
Hawks tried and failed to stand up, his legs giving way beneath him, leaving him to faceplant on the cold hard ground.
Before the hero could move, a flash of red and gray shot by him, running to the door Dabi had gone through.
Oh no.. he's not gonna want Endeavor-san riding his ass right now-

...

Dabi barely made it to a stall in time to drop to his knees and vomit into the toilet, his whole body wretching.
The foul taste and burning sensation only made his stomach churn more.
He clutched the sides of the toilet, shaking violently.
Fuck.
I knew this was a bad idea!
Why did I come here?
Why couldn't we have just stayed in Japan, damnit?
A large, warm hand touched his back and he flinched, quickly wiping his mouth on his sleeve.
Dabi slowly turned to look over his shoulder.
Azure eyes almost identical to his own bore into him, shining with the dim slickness of alcohol.
Fuck.
I showed weakness..
He's gonna hit me again-
I'm gonna have to train twice as hard-
He took a deep breath.
No, I don't train anymore.
I'm a grown man.
Still, he didn't feel very grown up looking into those heartless, cold eyes.
Enji's brow furrowed as he slowly stood back up straight. His hulking form raising above the stall sides and door.
The villain fought hard not flinch. He'd faced Endeavor in battle several times since changing sides- he'd never been scared before..
But he had kept his emotions shut off then. How could he do it now- now that he could feel everything so strongly?

Where was Keigo?
Where was his hero when he needed him?
