Another time, another place, another life, he would have wanted nothing more than to collapse into her arms, thank her, finally let himself cry —
( He couldn't even do that anymore. Not without making a bloody mess, anyway. )
But this wasn't another life, and Dabi wasn't about to show that much weakness. Even if this was just his mother, even if she had never meant him any harm.
Several heartbeats passed, before finally a sigh was offered, and he forced the habitual tension to leave his muscles. He couldn't talk her out of loving him, and honestly, he didn't want to. He just didn't know how to let her anymore, either.
❝ I know. I don't... understand it, but I know. ❞
Scarred arms crossed over his chest, subtly hugging himself, as he forced his thoughts to slow down, to focus on the moment.
❝ I love you too, Mom. ❞
