Hello my favourite writing blog c: May I can request a small sceneria with Dabi having a little mental breakdown after fighting with endeavor and his crush comforting him? He is so overwelmed that she/he is caring about him, that he finally has the courage to tell them that he is in love with them.
Hello :D I’m going to assume this was after the Dabi and Endeavor fight (192) and that this is a Dabi Todoroki-esque request? I’m sorry if that was obvious or not at all what you wanted school is kicking my ass lmao. I hope you enjoy! -Bomb

The blood, the pain, the emotional turmoil, it was all too much. He was only back at the base for mere minutes before his body gave out on him and he collapsed to the floor. The only good thing is that everybody else was somewhere else so they wouldn’t be able to see him cry and shake like a freezing wet chihuahua, though he wouldn’t even be able to stop if someone walked through the door anyway
He was on his hands and knees, hands and arms barely supporting his upper body weight as his body racked with sobs. It felt impossible to get the air into his lungs, and all he felt was dread and fear creeping up his spine. His legs, forearms, and lower lip tingled, going numb. Jesus christ this was fucking stupid
He’s seen Endeavor on tv numerous times and heard him on the radio countless more. He’s watched Endeavor walking down the streets and seen those piercing cold eyes stare just a couple feet away from where Dabi stood. But actually interacting with the fucker was a whole different story apparently
Memories came flooding back into his head during the fight. As he created that wall of fire, he remembered the hours of isolation where he was forced to strengthen his quirk despite his body’s low tolerance
As the staples came loose and the blood leaked from the edges of his charred skin, he remembered the excruciating hours and days he spent in bed, unable to move because the pain was too much on his frail nine-year-old body while being treated by a specially paid doctor
As that one cold eye stared at him with hate, he remembered those same colored eyes staring at him with utter disappointment every time he fell during training
Endeavor was a bad person and an even worse father
He was momentarily thrown out of his continuously looping thoughts when he heard the door open, almost instantly recognizing the familiar pat-pat of the footsteps as yours. He cursed himself, trying to make his body stop, but it was no use. Years of pent up emotion were pouring out and they wouldn’t stop
“Hey, Im ba- Dabi?” You called into the bar, only spot Dabi’s slumped shaking form on the floor. “Dabi!”
You raced forward, kneeling down instantly next to him and putting a hand on his back. He almost withdrew from the touch but was immediately met with a feeling of safety and comfort
He thought that you’d instantly chuck question after question at him, but instead, you relaxed next to him and began to gently rub his back, feeling every tremble of his muscles. And soon, after it became prevalent that Dabi didn’t know how to calm himself, you began to speak
“Hey Dabi, can you look at me?” You asked, leaning forward just a little
Slowly he moved his head to look at you, bloodshot turquoise eyes looking at your own e/c ones
“Alright. Copy me. Breathe in-” you breathed in, “then out” and breathed out
He hesitated but made an attempt to copy you. It was sloppy at first, but he found your rhythm and stabilized his breathing
Once he had found your rhythm and was doing it all on his own, you got up and went to behind the bar, fortunately finding some bottled water and opened it. You don’t know how he had become like that, but judging by the slight smell of burnt flesh and the blood on his arms
Before going back to Dabi’s low sitting figure, you grabbed the medical kit from below the counter. Opening it, you rustled through the things you might need. Upon finding everything it in there, you grabbed the kit and the bottled water and walked back to your emotionally drained… crush
Wordlessly, you sat down and set the bottled water near his hand in case he wanted it. But as he saw the bottle, he scoffed
“I don’t need water, I need liquor”
“As if. If there is going to be any alcohol around you right now, its the alcohol in this medkit. Fortunately, you won’t be needing that considering Kurogiri keeps the floor unnaturally clean”
A light smile pricked his lips. He had always appreciated you. In the little ways and the borderline hero ways
From the way you twirl your hair when you’re nervous to how you’ll quickly come to rescue your colleagues. From the fucked up skin around your fingers as a result of your bored peeling and bitting to right now as you took the time to hand him water and treat the newly charred skin on his chest, abdomen, and arms. From your absolutely stunning e/c eyes to your quick fingers wrapping around his open wounds
Every little fucking thing you did, it was enough to send his heart squeezing and racing. He always thought he appreciated you enough, but now seeing you sitting on your legs, taking gentle care around his hand and feeling your fingertips press so softly on the back of his hand, he realized he doesn’t. Not even in the slightest
He wanted you to know that he appreciates you in every single aspect. The way you look to the very fibers of your personality, he wanted you, and you alone. No one else mattered. Tomura, Himiko, Endeavor. If his world was just filled with nothing but you, there would never be a complaint out of his mouth
Before he could let your hand slip away, he held onto it
He caught the confused expression on your features. You looked up at him for answers and were met with his smile and gleaming turquoise blue eyes. He saw the way your cheeks glowed ever so slightly
He took it as a sign
“I don’t think you understand how much I like you”
“Wanna bet?”
And with a smirk replacing that once sincere smile, he crashed his lips onto yours, finally knowing his feelings, the ones he pushed away and suppressed for so long, weren’t for nothing
