âOpen up,â came the familiar, deadpan voice through the door. âIâm dying. Again.â
You flung it open and immediately sighed, exasperated but not surprised.
There stood Dabi, your favorite fire hazard, looking like he'd just crawled out of a dumpster fire; shirt half-burned, face smudged in soot, one eyebrow singed off (again), and holding a crumpled fast food bag like it was a peace offering.
"I brought you fries," he said, grinning lopsidedly. "They're a little... uh, warm."
"They're charred, Dabi."
"Yeah, well, I walk with hellfire, babe."
You blinked. "You ran into a propane tank during a fight again, didnât you?"
ââŚI plead the fifth.â
Your couch was already prepped. Dabi flopped onto it dramatically, sprawling like a sad, crispy noodle. You stood over him, hands glowing faintly, and tapped his forehead with your index finger. âDo you know how many people would kill to have a free on-call healer and still manage to look like this every three days?â
âYeah, Iâm special like that.â
âSpecially stupid.â
âOuch,â he said. âWounded.â
âIndeed. Now stay still so I can change thatâ
You pressed your hands against his ribs, healing the burn on his side first, as you muttered to yourself.
âI told you to stop getting set on fire.â
âI am fire.â
âThen stop getting extra set on fire. And stop giving me such cringey repliesâ
He gave you a lazy grin, watching as your fingers moved carefully across his skin. You always healed him so gently. Like he wasnât a walking Molotov cocktail. Like you werenât constantly fixing what he broke.
âYou know,â he said after a pause, âif I faked an injury, would you still patch me up?â
You gave him a flat look. âIf you faked an injury, Iâd patch up the floor after I knocked you through it.â
He merely snorted and let you continue, making a mental note to test that later.Â
âHey.â He poked your arm as you worked on the cut across his collarbone. âWhy are you always so nice to me?â
You shrugged. âBecause you're my favorite arsonist.â
âThere are others?â
âThere are surprisingly many.â
Dabi made a mock-offended sound. âUnbelievable. You cheating on me with some two-bit matchstick wannabe?â
âI would never,â you said, gasping dramatically. âYouâre my one and only defective fireplace.â
He smirked. âDamn right I am.â
The healing ended with him dramatically flopping his arm over his forehead like some kind of Victorian maiden. âOhhh... Iâm all better, thanks to your tender, magical touch.â
You rolled your eyes. âYouâre ridiculous.â
He peeked at you from beneath his arm. âYou like it.â
You tried not to smile.
He definitely noticed.
When he finally sat up, dusting soot off your couch (rude), you noticed his hair was sticking up wildly on one side, as if heâd gotten into a fight with a hairdryer and lost. And so you reached up without thinking and gently tried to flatten it.
He blinked.
You froze.
âI- sorry. Habit.â
He didnât move. Just looked at you, then said in that deadpan sarcastic tone âOkay thatâs fine, but if you start braiding my hair or putting cute little clips in it, weâre gonna fight.â
âOh no, youâve discovered my plan.â
ââŚWait, really?â
(Lmao imagine)
Later, when he was stretched out on your couch eating cookies youâd made earlier (you always had snacks ready for his post-âcrime sceneâ recovery), he looked over at you.
âYou know, youâre kind of a menace.â
âMe?!â
âYeah. Youâre out here being nice and sweet and putting yourself in danger by hanging around a guy like me.â
You rolled your eyes, but your smile was fond. âYouâre not dangerous to me, Dabi.â
He merely grinned, that cocky look making you roll your eyes for seemingly the millionth time that night as you sat beside him, curling your legs up under you, and resting your head on his shoulder. He tensed for a second, but then leaned into you, like he didnât mean to, like he was totally used to it.
ââŚYouâre lucky I like you,â you mumbled.
âCorrection,â he said smugly, âyouâre blessed to be in my smoky, charred presence.â
You elbowed him gently. âIâm considered âblessedâ when you keep showing up for my cookies and healing like itâs your day job?â
âGotta keep the brand alive,â he replied, stealing another cookie.
Dabi never said thank you out loud, he never had a way with words, but he always left his dishes in the sink, carefully rinsed. Always placed the blanket you gave him (almost) neatly over the couch before leaving.
And once- just once- you found a small, soot-smeared sticky note on your fridge that read:
Youâre an idiot for doing this. Donât stop. Iâll probably be back tomorrow â D.
