A Villian At Heart

Fire Can Burn

Dabi ran over to where I was laying. He knelt down beside my bed, put my face in his hands and kissed me. "I'm sorry babygirl, I didn't mean to hurt you. I had no choice. I couldn't just stand there if Shigaraki decided to kill you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I couldn't attack him either, for he could have taken your life quicker than I could stop him. I'm sorry."

" don't worry about it. " He looked at me suspiciously, then looked at my burn. Dabi grabbed the washcloth out of my hand and held it against my neck, looking up at me with his sparkling aqua blue eyes.

"Why does Shigaraki hate me?" I asked.

" I don't think he does. Shigaraki is looking at this from a leader of evil group standpoint. He thinks you could be my weakness, and if the hero's were to kidnap you or use you to get information out of me, Shiggy doesn't want to risk me giving in. "

"Oh. What if I decide to become a villian? Would he not let me?"

"Um.... Unfortunately, you are already a villain? And, um, there is kinda nothing you can do about it, because I already told everyone you are. I just wanted you to be safe. The league never keeps prisoners for long. Once a prisoner is out of use to them, the victim is either killed or tortured. This is completely my fault though, and I am very sorryI shouldn't have captured you in the first place. I should have his you in the Forrest or something. I was just to selfish I guess." He signed.

"I don't blame you. I never wanted to be a hero in the first place."

" Its... Ok? " He felt my forehead. "You got a fever or somthin?"

" I'm fine. "

"Are you sure you are feeling alright?" Dabi asked with concern in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect me to give in so easily. I didn't expect myself to either, but it was true I wasn't the biggest fan of heros, which was one of the reasons I didn't want to be one.

"I don't want your burn to get infected" and so Dabi bandaged up my neck, his hands lingering on my collarbone. He said I wouldn't need the bandages for more than a day, and by this time my back was almost 100% healed. He stayed with me the rest of the day, and that night I feel asleep in his lap, his hands in my hair. That morning I woke up in my bed, Dabi nowhere to be seen. The next day he came back, and used a scalpel to cut out my heart shaped burn, then but two horizontal staples on either side of the heart. It didn't hurt because the skin was already dead, but he was gentle anyway. Dabi had to go after that, claiming that work was very busy and time consuming. I texted him that night.

"How was work?"

" Fine, how is your scar doing? "

"Fine. Hey, I was wondering, if I am a villain now, when do I get to start working?"

" Damn, so eager to be evil. I guess whenever you want. We already have a job for you, but you can start the job anytime. "

"Hmm... I guess will I start depends on what the job is."

"Alright. I will tell you when I see you in person. "

"Ok, I will see you soon then!" I thought about putting a heart, but decided against it. He had only showed he was attracted to me once, and that all could have easily been a ploy to get me to join the league. I didn't see Dabi for two days after that, and was so relieved to hear open again. My room was pretty big, but staying inside all day was getting annoying.

" hey y/n! Sorry I couldn't see you earlier. "  This was getting suspicious. Promising to see me, abandoning me, and then apologizing for it all in one big cycle every time. Defidently red flags.

"Mhm ok sure."

" you ok? " his eyes softened slightly.

"Yeah don't worry about it. So you going to tell me my job now?"

" Well, since you were previously enrolled in UA, and Shoto has been a spy for a while now, Shigaraki believes it would be best if we had two spies at UA, just in case. You could both work together, and, of course, that would make you pretty important in the villain status with a job that provides our main source of information. I would be your boss. "

"Oh, I guess I could do that."

" you obviously can't tell anyone about you job, and you must get close to who we tell to get close to, and not to anyone else. You must follow directions exacly, and you would also need a villain costume that is functional for a villian, preferably something black that you can run in. Also, part of your job is to figure things. We will tell you your objective, and may or may not give you a plan on the get that objective done. If not, you need to figure out a way to get your job done while not breaking any of your rules. "

"Rules?"

" Basically don't tell anyone your job, expose yourself, act out of character, raise suspicion, or get yourself and Shoto killed. You should be ready to have to kill anyone, so no friends. Also, you will have a work phone that looks identical to your actual phone, and it should don't or text, or you get any notifications at all, it will be your top priority to check, plans might have changed or someone may have gotten hurt. "

"Before you texted me on my regular phone, can I keep your number or should I just text you on the work phone?"

" You can keep that number, but obviously don't have my name on the contacts. Shigaraki is very strict on having the work phone be only for work. If you have to say anything considering your job, text me on that phone. "

"Ok so don't die, do my job, get a villain costume, and work phone, right?" 

"Right although," he smiled slightly, " I thought you already had a villain outfit. "

"Oh, that. Well I guess."

" as your boss I would like to inspect it, make sure it is up to standards. " he was smiling.

"You're going to abuse this boss power aren't you? I bet nobody gives a fuck about what my villain costume looks like, as long as it's practical ."

" Buts that's what I am checking for! I am just making sure it is functional enough! " he defended.

I noticed Dabi had been acting different then what I remembered from him on TV. On TV he seemed was more harsh and rude and serious, and, well, obnoxious. He seemed that way on the roof, although it was obvious he respects Shigaraki very much, or at least his organizations ideas. When he looked at me became more playful, like he was bringing out his inner Touya. I liked it though, it made me feel special. Like he was being himself around me, it was sweet.

"Yeah sure, whatever." And I went into my closet.
