Hello, I hope you're having a nice day. I'd like to say that I absolutely love your head canons, something about Dabi being soft just makes me so happy I can't really describe.
If it's alright with you I'd to request head canons of Dabi admitting his feelings to reader for the first time, or his reaction of the reader admitting their feelings to him?
Dabi Confessing/You Confessing
So glad that other people enjoy soft Dabi content 💙
Dabi confesses out of desperation. It’s like torture, every day that goes by without him being able to kiss you. He’s so in love with you, but so afraid of your reaction.
As time passes, it gets harder and harder for him to handle containing himself. Just to keep himself sane, he’ll “accidentally” brush his arm against you while walking, or offer to tend your wounds for you.
He’s hoping so much that you’re in love with him too and that you might ask him out first, but that doesn’t happen. He gets too impatient and he doesn’t want to wait any longer.
He confesses one night when you come back from a mission with some injuries. Touya brings you aside and wraps up your wounds.
You ask him why he does this, saying that you’re capable of doing it yourself.
“Because I love you,” he says without hesitation. His hands stop moving when he realizes what he just said. He thinks his heart may have stopped.
“Fuck, I’m sorry, I just-“ he starts to stutter, not even daring to look at you. “You’re so stupid. I love you too,” you comfort him, holding his face in your hands.
Now if you confessed to Dabi…
It’s actually canon in the smash comics that Dabi is a little slow in the head when it comes to flirting.
He’s in love with you too, but he has no idea if you love him too or not.
Even though you’re really damn obvious.
You “accidentally” stare at him all the time, claiming that you just zoned out.
You “accidentally” wear his clothes, pretending you didn’t notice you were wearing it but you literally stole it from his room.
You “accidentally” fall asleep on him, but you’re not asleep at all. Just pretending while laying on him.
You “accidentally” buy more food than you could finish yourself, so you give the rest to him.
Sometimes you wonder if you’re the one being oblivious, and that you’re not being obvious enough, maybe that’s why he’s not catching on.
No, Touya’s just a little bit… dense.
The poor boy. He really thinks that everything you do is just how you act. He has no clue that you are desperately trying to get him to notice your feelings.
If you knock on his head it sounds hollow.
Eventually you will realize that Touya really is not bright and just isn’t catching on, so you take the direct route.
He’ll be laying on his bed, minding his business, and you’ll come in and close the door.
“Huh? What ya’ doing?” he questions, tilting his head a little. “I need to tell you something,” you respond while sitting beside him.
Touya assumes every worst possible outcome. He’s never really had anything good happen to him before.
“What is it?” he replies softly, a little worried.
Touya blinks a few times. “What.”
He couldn’t even think properly enough to make that “what” sound like a question. Just… “what.”
“You heard me,” you say, attempting to make eye contact with him.
His head is so empty. So adorable.
“Really?” he finally asks.
And for the rest of the day, you tell him about all the signals you sent that he ignored.
He really is just slow. In the cute way though.
