Loveless [ Dabi x Reader]

I

You were thinking that staying with the league, working with them, would be a little more interesting. In fact, most of the days Himiko was the only one who would knock on your door and ask if you want to watch a movie or something.

It wasn't bad, it just felt more lonely than before.

Your one-room apartment was comforting, at last, the little kids that were playing outside, did make you annoyed sometimes but in the end, you accept that you can't do anything about it and just bought some better headphones.

Now, in the hideout, the only noise you could hear was Shigaraki's tantrums, Twice existential crises, and sometimes Dabi telling Himiko to shut up.

Back from the nostalgia. Nothing. You couldn't find one thing about Endeavor's family. Well, nothing that you didn't know, more accurately said. Some speculation articles here and there, but in the end, it wasn't something you could have used to unmasked the no.1 hero.

❛ He was there. Waiting for the little girl, so they can chat and play. He was waiting for his few hours in Heaven.

His turquoise eyes were scanning the school entrees to see the familiar hair colour, hoping he didn't mess up the schedule for when she leaves the school. It wasn't like he written all the things she does, but more like memorised them. Maybe it was a little bit toxic for both of them, but again who was to judge the poor kids?

The red-headed boy was ready to give up on waiting and was about to enter the school, yet he saw her. Of course, she was in the uniform, however, there was an angelic vibe all around her and not just now, every time they met.

She was his angel, his escape. Even so, he didn't dare to think what she saw him like. Maybe he saw him as a monster because all of his forming scars, who force her to stay with him or maybe she saw him as another kid and he hoped that was the case.

" Touya-san!" the angel voice made her way to his ears and a smile appeared on his lips without him perceiving it. " I'm sorry that I made you wait for me longer than the other days. I f-forgot that I'm on cleaning duty. A-And my partner disappeared right before the classes to end." she was rambling, but God knows that it didn't matter to the child of the flamed hero. He could hear her. It was amazing.

" It's okay [ Name ] - chan, I didn't even wait that long." that was, partly, a lie. For him, it felt like eras till she got out, however, in real-time it was just two or three minutes in plus that the other times.

Back to the girl in front of him.

They started to talk with each other casually, calling each other after there first name, sometimes having nicknames ( but not in a mean way, where they are nasty ).

" Touya-san?" her worry voice made him break from his thoughts, once again. Perhaps this is what they call a "crush", yet they were just children in middle school and the start of high school.

" I'm King of the Clouds and I get lifted~" he singed out of the blue and the girl looked confused for a second but played along with his little outburst.

" I don't trust anyone, anyone~" and both started singing and walking to their secret place.

Once that they get there, in a clean spot in the forest next to [ Name ] house, they listened to music. Sometimes getting back to singing, other times just telling each other how their days when till they met.

" You know, I could heal those nasty bruises and scars." the girl offered her help once again, wishing that the boy with red hair would accept her proposal.

" My father would question me if I would show up at home without them, and I don't want him to find out about you," he muttered the last part, but the little girl stood close enough to hear him.

" I bet we can take him down, we are stronger together and he wouldn't have a chance in front with two," she said more than sure on herself. Except that they both were realistic, neither of them was strong enough so they could take that Endevor.

" When I grow up I will take him down and I will keep you safe, [ Name ] - chan," he said with a, somehow, sad smile. ❜

The man with black dyed hair woke up in cold sweat. Why would he dream that? Why right now? Now when that newbie just appeared and started to mess with his memories.

He was doing just fine! No worries, no attachments, no nothing. It was just him and himself. He didn't, no he doesn't need anyone. He is fine like this so why the fuck did you appear now? He could cry in frustration if his eyes would actually work normally, if he wouldn't be a monster.

The poor man couldn't even tell if you were actually her or he just loved to torture himself with never-ending scenarios of how his life, how his siblings, how her life could have gone different if he wasn't born.

" Fuck this shit." he cursed under his breath and beautiful blue flames started to come out of his hand as he pressed it on his, already, purple skin.

It wasn't actual self-harming, it was more like an anchor to bring himself out of his own misery, out of his own head.

" Himiko-chan, I don't think is a good idea to drink alcohol at this hour."

Oh my lord, that was the same angelic tone she would use on him to prevent himself from getting in trouble, not that he couldn't get out of them, just because she was worried about him.

" Heh... Life really likes to show me what I missed, doesn't it?" he laugh bittersweet.

Not even his flames could bring him back from the dark space that his regrets made in his head. He needs saving, but he doesn't deserve it or that's what he thinks.

My hc for Dabi is that he really does the thing with his flames. That's his coop mechanism. And another hc is that he is too self-aware like of course, the fandom sees him as beautiful as we can, but in real life people with scars, that are showing, are very insecure [ I'm not talking about self-harm scars] and I just can't see him as fuckboy.
