Blacknerdyandquirky : Dabi learns how to braid your hair after watching you and it actually soothes him. Gives him time to just sit there and talk with you, just be with you

- - - - - - - - - -

It's been a few months since you decided to join the LOV and you had finally begun to feel comfortable and relaxed around the group. You talked with Toga for the majority of the time you were around the others since she had been the one who recruited you and it was a safe space for you. After all, you didn't know many of the others and they didn't exactly look like the friendliest bunch. You two could talk about the girly things without being ridiculed by overhaul or shigaraki.

Sometimes when there wasn't much going on for the lov, you and Toga would do each others' hair. She taught you how to do a basic braid as well as some other more elaborate things like fish tail braids and more. Since then, your skills had gotten better; you could finally do something other than a ponytail and a bun.

About a month ago, events started to pick up for the lov and Toga was often out with the others, leaving you and Dabi behind since you both had a tendency to blow up at the slightest inconvenience. It was awkward at first and you had sat in silence for at least 4 hours in the beginning. However, as you began to spend more time with him, he began striking up small talk and would occasionally tell you jokes which you laughed at, boosting his self esteem and comfort when being around you.

As the days went on, you and Dabi became quite friendly and had even opened up about past events in your lives that pained you. You felt that you could confide in Dabi and vice versa. There were a few times when Toga would find you both sitting at the bar sharing a drink with lively conversation. She knew what would happen before you ever had the inkling of an idea. Love. She would drop herself into your conversations and start to play with your hair as you spoke to Dabi, making small braids and twists. You were so focused on your stories that you didn't see that instead of focusing on your stories and words, Dabi was intently watching Toga's fingers twirling around your (h/c) locks and how delicately your hair fell back into position when she left.

About a week ago, you began to join the missions with the group leaving Dabi and Toga behind. When on the missions, your hair would become a frizzy mess due to your quick (let's just say electricity). Meanwhile, Toga and Dabi were talking about you and Toga filled him in on a plan for you two to get closer to each other. Dabi agreed before listening and couldn't go back on his word after he knew what the plan was.

When you had arrived back at the lov, Toga teased you and run to get her brush. At some point, you felt the familiar brush lightly tugging at your messy hair. You stuck up conversation with Toga about your mission and laughed as she mocked the words of Shigaraki and the heroes. After awhile, you felt your hair rest against your shoulder in a sloppy braid. You raised an eyebrow at the messy handywork and turned around to see Dabi staring at you with a small smirk. You blushed a bright pink and froze.

"Hope you don't mind the messiness. This isn't really my talent." He chuckled, twisting your braid in his fingertips. You giggled lightly, taking your braid from him and held it in your hand, twiddling it between your soft fingers.

"Oh I don't mind at all, I wouldn't mind helping you practice this new hobby." You winked back up at him and laughed as he put a hand over his face to hide a flustered blush. You looked over at Toga who had a devious smile on her face.

"Aw~ What a cute couple! Make sure you invite me to the wedding okay? <3" She laughed before skipping off to bother Overhaul and Shigaraki. You and Dabi both glanced at each other before you both started to laugh.

"So, do I get to redo the mess I made?" Dabi asked, a light chuckle trailing at the end.

"Nothing is stopping you. Just please don't pull okay?" You replied with a cheesy smile and a small twinkle in your eye. He took your loose braid back into his hand and began to undo it before you felt a firm tug and another hand tipping your chin up to face him. His fingertips grazed your cheek before tucking a few loose strands behind your ear.

"Oh don't worry. I won't pull too hard... since you asked nicely." He loosened his grip on your hair and brought his other hand back to help undo the mess of a braid he had made nonchalantly. A light blush now dusting over your cheeks, his words replaying in your head like a record on repeat.

This activity continued on for the next few days and you would both switch positions from time to time. He would braid your hair and you would braid whatever you could manage and tease him at how childish he looked. He would simply roll his eyes and mock you. It even became a routine thing after you would finish your missions for the day.

Today you walked in and casually sat down in front of Dabi, starting up a small conversation about your day, you were exhausted and he could tell by the expression on your face that you were in need of a nap. He sat you down at a table where you could rest your head if need be. His fingertips ran through your hair, quickly ridding of any tangles there were. You closed your eyes before giving in to the feeling of his hands softly weaving your hair into a braid. You hummed softly in relief and he simply smiled down at your gentle features.

"Hey Dabi, can I ask you a question?" You asked as you laid down your head on the table with a yawn. He raised an eyebrow before standing up to let you rest in peace.

"Shoot."

"Why do you braid my hair?" You said, your words slowing down, not even enough energy to open your eyes.

"Hm. Why indeed. I find it soothing and I enjoy your company. That's enough questions for now, so get some rest." He replied before patting your shoulder and heading off to the bar to talk with Toga and a few others. Before you knew it, you were out like a light, dozing contently.
