Power Struggle - Takami Keigo X Reader

Power

A/N: Hello just a quick note this chapter is much longer than the rest because I couldn't figure out how to properly cut it into two without taking away from the story. Hope you enjoy it.

You groan waking up in the middle of the night. It's been about a month with these Dabi nightmares, each time it got worse like your instincts were telling you to leave this place before he finds you. You look over to seeing Keigo sleeping on his side. You get up and go to the kitchen you open the fridge and grab the milk. You turn around and grab a pot putting it on the stove and adding the milk. You rub your eyes, Kitaro rubs against your legs sitting down. "sorry buddy did i wake you up?" you kneel down and pet your cat. He meows looking up at the milk.  "alright but just a little bit" you grab a small bowl and set it down adding some milk to it. Kitaro walks over to it and drinks it up. You lean on the counter waiting for the milk to start warming up.  You look out the kitchen window admiring the water.

"Sometimes I wish I could fly away like Keigo, If we could both fly then we could be constantly on the move," you say quietly. You look at the pot of milk, you go through the pantry and grab some chocolate. You set it down and look around for the grater, "maybe it's outside when Keigo made dinner the other day" you open the door and shiver a little feeling the cold breeze, you look around the grill and find the grater. You take it and walk back inside closing the door behind you. Kitaro was no longer drinking his milk. You pick up the bowl and take it to the sink washing the grater and rinsing the bowl. You go back turning the heat down on the pot. You reach for the chocolate but you don't feel it. You look around for it on the counter. 'maybe I just didn't grab it' you go back to the pantry and look in the box of chocolate seeing a missing square, you stare at it for a little before taking another and grate it into the milk stirring it into the pot. 'I just need some sleep, Keigo always eats the chocolate, I probably imagined taking anything out' you think to yourself.  You turn off the stove and set the pot on a bakers pad. You go to the cabinet and take out a mug. you feel a breeze and look behind you to the back door. It was wide open. You go to it and look outside before closing it again. 'maybe I just didn't shut it enoug-' you feel someone standing behind you. "don't move"

You freeze your heart starts racing "o-okay, what do you want?" you ask looking at the door seeing a faint reflection of Dabi. "It's been weeks, not only did you lie to me pretending to be in America but you pretended to be a happy couple with this bird brain right under my nose" you can hear the irritation in his voice. you couldn't figure out what to say, 'You know deep down I think he just needs to feel loved' you remember Keigo telling you about Dabi. "I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry you wasted time looking for me," you say full of fear. Dabi slams his hand past your head hitting the door "Sorry?!, you think i came all the way here to get an apology?!" you flinch "n-no I know you didn't come here for an apology, y-you-" he slams his other hand on the side of your head making you squeak in fear.  He smirks "What lies has that idiot been telling you, I'm pretty sure if I breathe on you right now you'd fall apart, hell your shaking like your about to collapse."

You hold onto your mug tightly "Keigo hasn't l-lied about you, deep down you don't w-want to be this way" you say  "y-you came alone w-which means you d-don't trust anyone o-or you don't want them to see what a g-good person you are" you say trying to turn around. Dabi grabs your hair with one hand and pushes you down to kneel. "Good person?! You think I can be a good person did Keigo tell you about how he's killed, people! Hell, he killed his own partner in a mission once! Yet he's the number three hero?! Doesn't that just piss you off how some action are deemed heroic while others are pure evil, how I'm the bad guy because I look this way?!" You look down at the ground "K-Keigo isn't innocent no, but he didn't choose to do what he did, just how they took your choice to become a hero.." Dabi slams your head into the door "Don't say that I would never want to be some pawn for the commission!" Dabi lifts your head up pulling it back so your facing him "look me in the eyes and tell me what you see?" you look at him "I-I see someone who has been lied to and betrayed his whole life" you say sincerely.
