Returning the favour
Part 2 of my s/I x dabi fic (part one)
Because it's my birthday I'm gifting myself more fanfic.
As the handcuffs tightened securely with a click, the police escorted the villain into their vehicle and drove away, encouraging the civilians and reporters on the area to disperse and gradually leave.
Eris sighed after forcing a smile for the camera, a microphone no longer shoved in his face. He hated dealing with reporters right after handling a villain. All she wanted to do was take a needed break after getting things over with amd recover from any injury, sprain or bruises.
It was hard to smile when you're pretty sure you had a bruised rib and might have torn something in your arm. She learned over the years how to hold one, small and thin lipped but noticeable.
Grey clouds rolled overhead with a roar of thunder, cutting through his thoughts and bringing eris' attention to the sky.
"Awe man, seriously? You've got to be kidding me...I really need to keep an eye on the weather.." he sighed, hanging his head as droplets of rain started hitting her wings.
"Yeah..you do." A familiar voice spoke up next to him.
Eris quickly lifted his head again to find a clear umbrella being head over him, the person next to him holding it up over the both of them.
"Dabi?" Eris blinked. Sure enough the familiar voice belonged to the same villain she gave this very umbrella to a week or so back. "What are you.."
"What's it look like? Dont make a big deal out of it alright, I'm just returning the favour so we're even" his tone was quick like hed rehursed it and wanted to get it out before she thought anything else. His eyes didnt meet his as he spoke either.
"Oh, well, thanks." Eris smiled a bit. There was a quiet moment before dabi spoke up again.
"So..that was some fight you got yourself into. You're surprisingly not so beat up after taking that guy on. Though I guess he was the idiot for taking on someone with wings when hed got a ground quirk." Dabi snickered, seemingly amused by the other villains failure.
"That was funny huh?" Eris couldn't help a small chuckle "he still got a few good hits in himself though."
Dabi's head turned to look at her, noticing the way she held herself. "You're pretty good at hiding your injuries."
"When I need to"
"What you need is a doctor." He scoffed.
"What, you're gonna walk me to the hospital?" She teased, enjoying a light bit of banter.
"Cant you just fly there? Your wings arent injured." He pointed out.
"No, but it's raining." He sighed "cant fly in the rain, my wings just get weighed down as soon as they get wet, so I'm grounded"
"Should you even be telling me this?" Dabi questioned. If it was a weakness, he probably should have kept it to herself instead of telling a known villain.
"Pronably not, but we're even right? You cant start fire in the rain, I cant fly." Eris smirked a bit.
Dabi simply rolled his eyes at the remark. "Yeah yeah, we're even, weirdo."
There was a long pause, the two of them watching the rain gradually get heavier as it fell, puddles formed and grew, the surface of the water rippling with each drop.
Thunder rolled in the distance, but lighting hadnt yet showed itself, meaning they were just at the edge of the storm and it was slowly making it's way over the city.
"Come on, angel." Dabi sighed, breaking the silence as he motioned for her to follow. Angel. Last time he called him that it was meant to be a mocking insult.
"What?" Eris tilted his head, unsure what dabi was doing.
"Let's get your dumbass some help." Dabi scoffed as if it was obvious.
Eris began to walk beside him, dabi holding up the umbrella high enough it stayed over both their heads and didnt bump into eris' wings.
"I'm only going to get you so far, I'm not walking you all the way." He stated, walking them through the rain in the direction of the hospital.
"Fair enough. But...I could have just walked myself." Why was he helping, when he could just be taking advantage of her injuries and the fact she was grounded?
"You also could have just left me in the rain back there." Dabi mumbled.
He was really just helping..because eris gave him the umbrella. As confusing and silly as it seemed, he decided not to question if anymore.
Maybe building a good little relationship with this villain could lead to something down the road. It'd be nice to have an actual friend she could drop the heroic persona around...or something like that.
Time would tell.
I have no ideas for a part 3 or anything
F/o gift exchanges are open!
