A cool breeze touched your skin, a tingling sensation awakening you from your deep sleep. What really got you to stir though, was the gentle swaying motion you felt. Where was it coming from? Your memory was hazy and you couldn't remember what you had been doing before. Why was everything so...distant?

As you tried to figure out what was or what had happened, a familiar cologne crept up your nose. Your eyes flew open, the first few seconds only being able to make out blurry figures. Your eyes grew round and large as you stared at Dabi. His jaw was surprisingly sharp now that you were looking at it from up-close.

It took your brain a moment to process the fact that Dabi was carrying you bridal style towards Jason's house. Your whole body went rigid in panic.

Dabi's eyes trailed down to you. "You sure have a shitty habit of falling asleep everywhere and making me carry you", he mumbled. You stared at him, thinking back to the time when he first kidnapped you and you had passed out, leading to him carrying you into the entertainment area.

He raised an eyebrow down at you, his black hair nearly blending in with the dark night sky, had it not been for the lights from the house reflecting off of it. "What's with that look?", he mumbled after you hadn't replied.

Only now did you realize your mouth had been parted in shock. You quickly closed it, looking away, feeling awfully embarrassed. Why? "You ... you just scared me", you mumbled, seeing the house door slowly nearing with every step.

"Well, I am naturally terrifying", he stated, pushing the door open with his foot. You felt your face light up in flames as you realized he could've set you down and made you walk. "U-Uhm, thanks, but I ... can walk by myself now", you murmured, still avoiding any form of eye contact.

You felt his gaze drop down onto your face again. Why were you so flustered?!

Dabi hummed shortly before returning to look ahead of you, now entering the hallway. You looked up at him, his unusual response making you forget about your flustered state.

You weren't quite sure what to say since you weren't sure if you hadn't spoken up loudly enough or if he was just flat out ignoring you. "Uhm", you started, shifting uncomfortably, trying to make it obvious that you wanted to be set down.

"Can you stop moving around so much? You're making it hard for me to carry you", he grumbled, his brows furrowing in annoyance.

"Yeah, because I would like to be put down", you stated, now intensely staring at him. He glanced down at you again, his eyes almost like penetrating bullets. Not in a hard, cold way though, almost like a gentle wave embalming you.

"Uhuh", he mumbled. Your face twisted in confusion. "You do know what those words mean right?", you asked, a hint of sarcasm in your voice.

"Probably more than you do", his eyes didn't leave yours for a second, it was making you feel more uncomfortable than before, leaving your mind near blank.

"Then put me down", you tried to keep your voice level. He tilted his head to the side, considering it, only to shrug and send you a solemn expression. "Nah".

You finally reached your room, Dabi stopping in front of your door shortly and then pushing it open as you were left speechless. What was with him? In the last few hours Dabi had not ceased to surprise you more than once.
