Moon Spell
Dabi x afab reader (unedited)
Much longer then expected so expect a part 2! Warning: mentions of murder, swearing, and spoilers regarding Dabiâs origin
If there is one thing Touya yearns for, itâs being seen truly seen. He never found that in his father despite becoming one of the most wanted criminals and telling the world who he is. He was still invisible.
Then there was you. Youâd just closed up your coffee shop for the night in your small little village. Youâd heard a little bit about the big fight between heroes and villains but you donât pay mind to the news. You specifically choose a simple slide phone to avoid social media.
You like the peace of your simple yet humble life. Holding the paper bag of left over baked goods that didnât get sold, youâll have some for a snack tonight and breakfast tomorrow. Your home is a bit of a walk away from the village. You enjoy the night sky to yourself.
That is until you see a tousle of white hair atop a scarred body doing something near the ditch up ahead. Huh? Nobody else lives out here but you. Not since that weird religious group mysteriously disappeared. Their home has been vacant. Maybe someone finally moved in, since your moving past that area you assume the stranger is from that way.
He seems to be looking for something. You swear stranger danger means nothing to you as you approach moving your hand into your pocket to pull out your mini flashlight.
However the stranger is swift to pin you (hard) down to the dirt road and hold your hand with the flashlight above your head. Pinning the rest of you down, yet youâre not scared. You laugh shyly as your lewd mind drifts to places as you notice how handsome he actually is.
Heâs got a lot of burns but they entice you. Youâve never trusted someone who has no scars or marks. Perfect people you stay wary of.
âIâm sorry for startling you, but I couldnât help but notice you were looking for somethingâŚso I brought you my flashlight. In hindsight I shouldâve said something.â You mutter, embarrassed at yourself. He gazes at you with a dull yet suspicious gaze.
He smells burned but it reminds you of burned popcorn which you love soo.
âYouâre stupid. What if I kill you right now.â He says. His voice low and slightly scratchy. He seems worn out a bit and definitely healing from some recent burns. Does his quirk hurt him? You wonder to yourself before thinking of your answer. You look up, thinking with a hum.
âWell then I guess I die, at least itâd be because i was doing something nice and slightly foolish and my killer would be attractive. I mean I couldnât imagine being killed by someone whoâs gross and slimy or something.â You say. Still unafraid, not one ounce of fear.
He makes a confused look and scoffs. His gaze turns to the side. You follow, your eyes land where his are. Your baked goods. Thank goodness you put them in sealed containers or theyâd definitely be ruined. You hear a stomach growl.
âIf youâre hungry you can have some, though itâd be hard to eat holding me down like this.â You say, pain starting to course from your wrist and the places that took the most impact from when you fell. His grip gets tighter and very hot, but not so much it burns you.
âIdiot girl, I should burn you up, so I can enjoy something tonight. Your screams of agony would be pretty exciting.â
âAre you trying to scare me or something?â You ask, fully serious. His evil smirk he had falls and is replaced with a incredulous expression. With your free hand you lift it to gently touch his face, his skin grows hot immediately as a defense but you use your quirk. An opalescent glow spreads over his skin and you can hear things healing slightly. Unfortunately though your power is based off of moonlight and since thereâs none tonight to supply you with energy you feel yourself be drawn to sleep.
âI hope this helps, uhm place me in the ditch to sleep *yawn* I should be fine thereâŚmy *yawn* what was I saying? Oh andâŚhelp..yourself to the âŚtreats.â And youâre out like a light.
Dabi stares at your peaceful sleeping figure on the ground. Your soft pink hair pooling around your head and shoulders. His recent burns have fully healed. The areas tingle with a cooling sensation. What were you going to say. Whatever who cares.
You were really not afraid of him at all? How could you not know who he is. If you do, then are you a fan of the league? No since you mentioned youâd be fine dying doing a decent thing. And you fucking think heâs handsome? Youâre definitely fucked in the head.
Walking over to the bag he grabs one of the containers and opens it. A small little cheese cake with strawberries somehow still perfectly atop the mini cheese cake. He eats it whole and looks back to you. He begins to walk away.
However, if you healed him you could probably heal Tomura. Grunting in annoyance he picks you up and throws you over his shoulder. You donât budge an inch. That must have really exhausted you. Taking your flashlight he finds his phone that he dropped earlier and glances at the treats.
Arriving at the hideout Dabi through a you on the sofa. Putting the bag of baked goods on the table he opens another box the biggest of all. He freezes for a moment, itâs a cake. It reads âhappy birthday to me :(â. Despite the cake being a bit disfigured now probably from being thrown to the ground. Itâs your birthday today? He looks over to you. He takes note of the deep set bags under your eyes. Thereâs an aura around you. Youâre lonely, the deepest kind of loneliness. The kind Dabi has undergone his whole existence.
He debates killing you because heâs terrified of this feeling bubbling deep within his hate filled rotted heart. The way you stared at him earlier. Like you would gaze at a beautiful flower. You werenât seeing Dabi, you were seeing Touya, the real Touya. Thatâs dangerous. You should watch yourself, if you look at him like that again heâll burn you to a crisp.
You stir a little, you have a massive headache and your wrist stings, why!? You panic slightly but remember what happened. With your eyes still closed you notice immediately youâre not at home and youâre not outside.
Which means the stranger kidnapped your or someone else did however the ladder is unlikely considering itâs an unpopulated area. You feel leather beneath you so you assume youâre on a couch. A torn up one. But it smells like burned popcorn. So he did take you somewhere.
No doubt the abandoned mansion. You donât hear anything around you so you peak open an eye. The cost is clear. Thankfully the curtains are closed cause the sunlight would not be welcome with your head blasting the way it is.
You sit up, thereâs really nobody in here. You should probably try to escape but you honestly donât want to. Aside from your daily costumers whoâre all elderly folks and the married couples who mostly talk to each other youâre always..alone. So despite the rational decision you should make. You go to the door to find him.
Walking around the building it looks suspicious. Like some fight happened here or something. Youâre hoping heâs ok. Despite the battle marks looking kinda old now. Thinking of him excites you immensely. If you were dumber then you are now youâd say itâs something like love at first sight. His hair reminds you of the moon, and you love the moon.
His eyes are like the day sky but they shine much brighter and more blue. You feel your cheeks heat up at the thought of him. Oh no if you donât stop theyâll come out! You reach a hand to the top of your head and one to your lower spine. Ok your good nothing is there.
However youâre still low on moon energy so youâre getting pretty tired of walking around. Scrunching up your nose in frustration you decided on a different way to find him.
âHELLO! STRANGER WHO MAN HANDLED ME WHERE ARE YOU?â You yell to the top of your lungs. And maybe itâs the fact this place reminds you of a haunted mansion but when you see something green flash way down the hall (with no windows) a chill runs down your spine and you run back to the room.
Youâre grandma used to tell you the worst ghosts are green. Really random but yeah. Youâre not really scared of ghost but you donât want to be possessed. You go to the window and open it. Maybe some light will actually be better. Unfortunately you forgot that your head is pounding and itâs seers your brain in half.
You close the curtains quickly and groan in pain. Rubbing around your head you notice a bump. Most likely from when you were pinned to the ground. Speaking of that how long were you asleep? If heâs not going to show up youâll definitely leave. You have to open your cafe up eventually.
Sighing, you sit on the couch and investigate your other aching places. He burned your wrist slightly. Even if you had moonlight power you canât heal yourself with that ability you call moon river, but your body does heal faster then normal people. You lay back down and before you have any say you fall back asleep.
âOi!â Something aggressively shakes you.
âWake up dumb ass.â You open your eyes and see Casper the friendly ghost well actually not Casper and definitely not friendly. You look past him and see moonlight peaking through the curtains. You shove past him and throw the curtains open.
Your body immediately starts to absorb it and you feel amazing in seconds. âOh my gosh, just what I need to get rid of this headache.â You close your eyes completely forgetting about me white hair behind you. He is annoyed by how youâre blatantly ignoring him and still are unafraid of him.
But APPARENTLY not SPINNER! Who said he saw you earlier look at him and run away back to this room with a terrified expression. He was only a little offended. But he also said you havenât made any attempts to leave, and how you yelled out loudly looking for him.
âHow are you feeling? Did your burns heal?â You ask whilst you bask in the moonlight eyes still closed. Your pink hair is literally glowing and so is your skin. Heâs taken aback. Were you worried for him. Thereâs something wrong with you.
âWhy did you do that?â He asks you rudely
âBecause, you were in pain. Why wouldnât i?â
âBecause Iâm a stranger and possibly a killer for all you know.â
âThatâs not a reason to not help someone. And you know nothing about me so donât assume anything and I didnât assume anything about your life.â You say back. Hmph he thinks your so smug arenât you? You open your eyes and turn to look at him.
Such a peaceful expression full of wonder and wait, he sees it. Loneliness. Deep set in you.
âAre your burns, and your scars from..your quirk?â You ask your expression not changing a bit. He debates if he should kill you or knock you out. He is starting to regret bringing you here. Rolling his eyes he turn away from you.
âIâll take that as a yes. Uhm, my name is y/n by the way.â You tell him your name a bit shyly. Dabi closes his eyes and exhales slowly. You must truly not know who he is. Otherwise thereâs no way youâd not be afraid of him.
Turning to face you his bright blue eyes bore into yours. Your breath catches in your throat.
âDabi.â A part of him almost said Touya but it stayed lodged in there.
âHmm.â You hum whilst standing up and walking over to him. You hold out your hand.
âItâs a pleasure to make your acquaintance sir Dabi!â You say, your cheeks tinting a shade of pink. He looks away with just his eyes and mumbles a yeah whatever at you.
Looking down at your hands fumble with each other you sit down on the couch softly.
âSo, is there a reason you brought me to your home? Are youâŚreally going to kill me?â You say in a tiny voice. He looks at you, your head drooping down although your tone of voice was unreadable. Plopping himself next to you Dabi yawns big and loud.
âNo, your quirk is useful and my uhâŚbuddy needs some help. Unfortunately Iâll have to introduce you a bit slowly to everyone or else someone will actually probably kill you.â
âSo, are you going to go to my house and get some of my stuff or can I go home and visit you when youâre ready for doing my first introductions.?â You say like itâs some sort of job interview. Why are you being so pliable?
Since you definitely donât seem like you feel the need to escape should he let you go home? You donât treat yourself like youâre a prisoner here. If heâs being honest maybe just maybe a teeny tiny part of him didnât want to just leave you on the side of the road.
With such a useful quirk it wouldâve been a shame if something wouldâve happened to you. Now that Dabi has found such a sweet little gem tucked away in that little village nearby.
âWhat are your thoughts on heroes, y/n?â
âUhm, if I answer this will you answer my previous question?â
âSure.â
âOk, hmmm letâs see. I always thought heroes are the ones who help because they desire to. Not out of obligation or for the rewards but simply because they needed to. I guess if Iâm being honest Iâve never met any of the heroes wearing costumes. Iâve met the ones dressed like a normal person. The ones who would drop anything to help you back up if you trip.â You say and youâre not sure if this is your complete answer but it suffices for you at this moment.
âHero number 1 endeavor what do you think about him. Tell me and Iâll answer yes to your question about goin home.â Dabi says leaning close to you. Underneath the burn smell you find something warm like vanilla. Very subtle.
âWhoâs that?â You ask completely dumbfounded. âWait!â You laugh out âthey give ranks to the heroes!?â Standing up you look baffled. âNo wonder Iâve heard scary stories about the heroes from the folks in this town who moved here to get away from heroes. They must have the BIGGEST EGOS I mean come ON.â You pace the room going on and on about it. Wow not what he was expecting. Youâre really out of the hero society social loop.
âHOWEVER! Now that I think about it the ranks could help determine whoâs power can handle the most detrimental situations this knowing to send said hero to the problem to have the best chance of success.â You stop pacing and put you hand on your chin as if itâs some world mystery you need to solve.
âStop, letâs just go now.â Dabi gets up annoyed majorly.
âWait where are we going?â
âYour house, how dumb are you?â
âHey Iâm only dumb when I have no context about a situation. Like this!? I canât read your mind.â He mumbles a âwhateverâ and takes you to what looks to be like the front door.
âWait here. Do. Not. Move.â
âYes. Sir.â You mock putting your hand up to your head to salute him. He rolls his eyes and walks away. He really is debating not doing this but whatever.
He comes back holding a box. âI gave away and ate all your baked good except for this. I may be a jerk most of the time but here.â He hands you the box. You know instantly whatâs inside. Your birthday cake.
âOh..â you flush crimson. âThanksâ he just makes a hmph sound and exits the mansion. You follow behind him. A part of you is excited heâs bringing you home but even more excited because he saved your cake for you. Youâll definitely be giving him a slice. Itâs your special recipe too. You donât make this cake often.
As you walk side by side with Dabi the moon shines proudly for you. Enlightening your path home and giving you her energy. The atmosphere between you too is nothing short of magical. As if you have both been cast under a Moon Spell.
