I wake the next morning, still laying on Keigo, who looked down at me with a warm smile on his face.

"Hey sleepyhead." He says, his hands scratching at my scalp.

"Hey." I reply raising up. "Did Dabi ever come home?" I turn my head to look over my shoulder, seeing Dabi bundled up on the other side of the bed with his back facing us. I frown slightly.

"He didn't want to wake you." Keigo says softly as I look over Dabi's sleeping form.

"Oh." I reply with the same quiet tone.

"I told him you tried to wait for him." Keigo continues quietly. "And he knew if you felt him next to you, you'd wake up. He wanted you to stay sleep."

I purse my lips together before turning away from Dabi. "Okay."

"Come one." Keigo says pulling the blankets off of us. "Let's go make him breakfast."

I nod, sparing a glance at Dabi once more before crawling out the bed behind Keigo. The both of us walking to the kitchen.

"Are you sure he's okay?" I ask looking back towards the room.

"Yeah baby." Keigo assures with a warm smile before kissing my forehead. "He's okay."

*Dabi*

Dabi curled up the moment the two of you left. He squeezed his eyes shut, letting out a shaky breath. He barely got any sleep from wanting so badly to hold you. But knowing what was lurking in the back of his mind, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Keigo knew Dabi wasn't sleeping, and he appreciated him for getting you out of the room. For if you would've turned over, reached out and touched him in the most tender way only you could, he would've sobbed then and there. This was more harder on him than it should've been. Knowing that given this information, you could possibly walk away from the both of them. And he couldn't bare that. No matter how much he knew you should know.

He searched for you for so goddamned long and now that he finally had you, now that he could reach out and touch you, caress you, kiss you, make love to you, he didn't want to lose that. You only saw him as Dabi, the villan.

Not Touya, the vigilante.

Not Touya, the best friend.

Not Touya, the white haired boy that you looked up to with those eyes of yours filled with so much love and respect. Just simply for him being by your side.

--FLASHBACK--

"Touya!" You laughed loudly as he swung you around. His arms gripped your waist, hoisting your feet off the flooring and he whirled you around, the air carrying your giggles.

"Don't fall!" He laughed, pretending as though he would drop you mid-swing. He hardly ever laughed, even as a kid. But when he did, it was always because of you and Tiria.

Tiria jumps on Touya's back in an attempt to save you from his grasp. The both of you always tried to double team in when rough-housing, but him being well taller than the two of you due to puberty, he easily playfully slung the both of you around. Tiria managed to get on his back, her legs wrapping around the lot of you as you all fell on his bed, laughing uncontrollably.

"I love you guys." Touya says softly as you all come down from your laughs, a grin plastered on his face.

"Love you too Snow Blue!" Tiria grins, her head popping up from over his shoulder, looking down at the both of you. Her dishevieled hair falling in her face as she did. She'd given him the nickname due to his white hair and blue eyes.

"I love you too, T." You smile, your head on his chest.

"You guys are my best friends." Touya says again. "I promise I'll get strong enough to protect you two from scumbags. I don't care where I am, even if I'm thousands of miles away, just call my name and I'll be there."

"The White Wolf." Tiria's head pops up from Touya's shoulder. "OH! That can be your hero name!"

"Yeah, no." He chuckles, shaking his head. "That's a hard pass."

Tiria puffs her cheeks out in a pout. "It would've been an awesome name."

"Then use it for yourself." He smiles.

"It makes more sense for you." Tiria replies.

You curl up against Touya, feeling comfortable. Listening to he and Tiria go back and forth over the name she had already dubbed him. Not even knowing that'd be the last time you'd be able to hear Touya's heart beating ever again.

--FLASHBACK END--

Dabi silently sobbed into the pillow, though no tears fell from his eyes. He'd just gotten you, and he was going to lose you as quickly as he got you. He hated this to his core. His soul ached. You'd never forgive him like Hawks was so sure you would. He knows you. This isn't something that's forgivable.

He died for fucks sake!

From the back of the funeral home, he watched you and Tiria hold eachother as you sobbed for him. The pain in your voice as you cried his name. A single picture of him with his two best friends and baby brother surrounded by arrangements of flowers. A Banner hanging with the name Touya Todoroki.

He swallowed, feeling thes sting in his eyes but knowing he couldn't cry anymore. He pulled his hoodie further up, pushing himself out of the chair. He couldn't bare to hear the two of you cry out to him.

"You said you'd be here Touya!" Tiria had cried, his heart dropping into his stomach. "You hear us and you aren't here! Come back to us Touya! Please.....come back!"

Those words played in his head for days.

Weeks.

Months.

Years.

Everything came crashing down as he heard you laughing in the other room with Keigo.

"Stop before you wake him up!" You laughed. "Then he'd be cranky with both of us!"

No, no baby. I could never be mad at you.

This is killing me.

Then tell her Touya, just tell her.

"Hey." Keigo's soothing voice fell on Dabi, his sobbing coming to an abrupt halt.

"I'm sorry." Keigo whispers. "His hand went into Dabi's hair, soothing him. "I know you're hurting and I shouldn't be insensitive to that. I'm sorry for what I said last night. It was selfish."

"Where's Y/N?" Dabi asked, turning his head and seeing Keigo sitting on the edge of the bed right next to him.

"Eating." He replies. "I told her I'd get you so we could eat together."

"I'm not hungry." Dabi says.

"Touya, please.." Keigo whispers, his eyes showing worry. "If not for me, then for her at least."

They were silent with no movement for a moment. Keigo's hand still in Dabi's hair, before he moved his hand down, using his thumb to stroke the scarred flesh of Dabi's cheek. Dabi sighs, pushing himself up. Keigo leaned in, kissing his lover's lips softly.

"I love you." He tells Dabi.

"I love you." Dabi replies.

He crawls out the bed, grabbing his pants and putting them on, leaving them unfastened and settling low on his hips.

"Whenever you're ready, I'll be right there with you, okay?" Keigo says, bringing Dabi's head down to kiss his forehead. Dabi nods, feeling some sort of comfort in Keigo's words.

*****

My eyes instantly light up seeing Dabi exit the room.

"You're up!" I yell practically knocking him over as I hug him. I can feel his arms wrap around , his face falling into the crook of my neck. he inhales deeply, taking in my scent

"Good morning Dabert." I say rubbing his back softly, careful of his staples.

"Mm, morning baby." He mumbles against my skin. I release him, standing on my toes to place a kiss on his lips.

"I rolled us a few blunts too!" I say smiling up at him.

"Thank you baby." Dabi's warm smile never faltered as he looked down at me before kissing me again.

We ate in silence. Once we finished, Dabi wasted no time lighting the blunt. His head falling back as he exhaled the smoke, his hair brushing against his face. He took a few more hits before passing it to me.

"Can you walk me to work tonight?" I ask Dabi.

"Don't I always, Princess?" He replies, raising an eyebrow. Keigo moves between us leaning against the counter of the island.

"I've got nothing to do today." He says. "I could pick you up."

"That'd be great!" I smile, passing to Keigo.

We smoked together, with casual conversations and laughs. I found myself taking a nap, in both Keigo and Dabi's arms. When I woke up, I was greeted by Dabi, flipping through channels and Keigo sleeping on my stomach. Dabi looked down, slightly smiling at me before going back to his task.

"Hey babygirl." He says. "Welcome to the land of the living."

"Hi." I yawn, Keigo still sound asleep.

"You slept for quite a while." Dabi says leaning down to kiss the top of my head. "Thought I'd have to wake you so you wont over sleep."

I smile. "I appreciate that."

I gently touch Keigo, trying to wake him and careful not to touch his wings. He stirs a bit before his eyes flutter open. His head rises slowly, before his eyes lands on both Dabi and I.

"I have to get ready." I say running my fingers through his hair, him sighing in content, his eyes slowly closing as his head falls back onto my stomach.

"You know you don't HAVE to go." He mumbles. "Dabi and I could take care of you."

I smirk. "Keigo."

He gave a frustrated sigh, before sitting up and releasing me. "Ugh fiiiine." He says playfully. "Go on and leave the both of us. We don't care."

I giggle, getting up from my spot, Keigo crawling over to Dabi and taking my place. Dabi's arm that was resting on the back of the couch, Keigo didn't hesitate to take it and wrap it arnd himself as Dabi continued to flip through channels.

I walked into the bedroom, seeing their clothes scattered on the floor. It made me smile a bit, seeing how Keigo's jacket was on one side and Dabi's shirt was on the other. The two of them not even knowing just how happy and appreciative I was to have them. I quickly got ready for work, grabbing my things to head out. When I walked back into the living room, Keigo was sound asleep on Dabi's lap, Dabi's arm around him while Dabi's free hand held his own head up with his elbow on the arm of the couch. Although he seemed to be watching something on the television, it was clear he wasn't paying any mind to it. It was something much deeper on his mind.

"I'm ready." I say getting his attention. He raised his arm from Keigo, moving slowly to slide from under him as he stood, Keigo's head softly fell on the couch cushions, not even realizing Dabi wasn't there anymore as he turned over. Dabi grabbed his hoodie, throwing it on before the both of us left. I slipped my hand in his as we walked, the same look in his eyes not faltering.

"Dabi, are you okay?" I ask as we walk down the sidewalk.

"Hm, why you ask baby?" He says carefully, he blinks slowly as if he was trying to shake something off.

"Just seems like you have something heavy on your mind." I answer. "You know I'm here if you want to talk."

"I know, babygirl."He sighs out. "I know you are."

I wrap my arms around the one I was holding, as we continued to walk. I couldn't help but feel like something in Dabi was different. Whatever it was, he didn't want to talk about it. And not only that, it was weighing heavy on him. I could use my quirk to figure out what was going on in that head of his, but I trust him enough and I don't want him to feel a way about me invading his privacy.

We reach my job and as always, Dabi stopped a short distance away just to stay away from the crowd that was already waiting outside to go in. He took his free arm and wrap it around me hugging me tightly and kissing the top of my head.

"See you later Princess." He mumbles against my hair before placing another kiss at the top of my head.

"Okay." I mumbled into his chest. I grip him tightly, letting him know that I was going to be around through whatever it was he was going through. We released eachother and I made my way through the doors to work.

******

"Y/N Hawks is here waiting on you." Tiria says leaning against the door of the locker rooms. She crossed her arms over her chest. A smirk playing on her lips. "Seems to me like the two of you are more than just friends."

"Shut up, Ti." I say shaking my head. I stood, grabbing my things and closing my locker shut. She pushed herself off the doorframe, allowing me to exit before walking alongside me.

"I'm just saying." She says with a shrug. "I mean it's fine if the two of you are keeping things hush hush. But if y'all really wanted the privacy, he wouldn't be picking you up every night from work. He'd be waiting at home, bath ran, rose petals on the bed. Wine in your hand when you walk through the door. Ready to break-"

"Okay Ti, I get it." I say chuckling at we walk towards the front of the club. Keigo greeted me, leaning against the bar counter, talking to Rein as she dried a cew cups with a cloth.

"Hey Kid?" He says when he sees me. I walk to stand along side of him. His arm reached out, settling his hand on my hip as he kissed my temple.

"Hawks I have a question." Tiria says leaning on the counter facing us. I put my face in my hands as Keigo looked at her with interest.

"Sure, what is it?" He says watching my reaction. I blew out a breath.

"What's going on between the two of you?" Tiria points between the two of us before resting her head on her fist. "You two fucking?"

"Tiria!" Rein says as Keigo chuckles. I on the other hand, banged my head on the counter. Keigo slipped his hand under my forehead in a way to tell me to knock it off.

"I just want to know my best friend isn't dealing with a hoe." Tiria says with a shrug. "Women love you, Hawks."

"Do they?" Keigo tilts his head to the side. "I never noticed." He shrugs casually, as if I'm not still head banging into his hand, just simply wanting to die.

Tiria purses her lips together. "Of course you don't." She says. "So?"

"So, what?" Keigo responds.

"What are the two of you doing?" Tiria says. "Are you and Y/N fucking?"

"Are you jealous?" Keigo smirks as my head banging became more intense.

Just kill me now

Take me out of my misery.

My best friend and my boyfriend going toe to toe.

If I wanted this to go a way, it would absolutely not be this.

"Of course not." Tiria says. "I want my best friend happy. We only have eachother now, and I just want to know she's not being toyed with."

"I think you should word that differently." Keigo says with a chuckle.

"Oh god." I groan continuing to hit my head against the palm of Keigo's that was on the counter.

"You know what I mean." Tiria says. "Just don't hurt her, alright?"

"Not planning on it, Kid." He says with a small smile. "Y/N, your head is starting to hurt my hand now."

I groan, lifting my head up and looking between the two of them.

"Are we done yet?" I ask helpless. Keigo chuckles once more and kissed my temple again.

"Yes, Lovebird." He coos.

"Hey." Tiria says softly asa we turn to leave. I look over at her. She smiles warmly.

"Remember, 'I don't care where I am, even if I'm thousands of miles away, just call my name-"

"And I'll be there" We finished the sentence together, smiling at one another. I hug her tightly .

Those words we kept etched in our minds since we were kids. It was one of the last words we'd ever heard Touya say to us. When he died, he left us alone to fend for ourselves in this crazy world. We'd always talk about how we'd go off to highschool together, attending U.A and be kick ass pro heros. We'd have our own agency, helping any way we could.

Tiria and I gave up on that dream, considering we didn't have Touya with us. It was hard, but we had eachother and that simple sentence to get through the rough patches.

"I love you, Y/N." She whispers in my ear.

"I love you too, Tiria." I reply.

We smile at one another as we released each other. I say my goodbyes and Keigo and I exit the club, walking towards my home.

"She doesn't beat around the bush she?" Keigo chuckles intertwining our fingers together.

"No, she doesn't." I reply shaking my head. "She's harmless though."

"I don't know lovebird." He says skeptically. "People as close as she is to you, don't play about their best friends. I'm sure she could make my death look like an accident."

I giggle. Tiria was really the hyperactive one of the three of us. Touya was the quiet one, I guess you could say I was the chaotic one, I lived for pranking him and Tiria. And Tiria was the one who'd beat someone's ass for saying anything about us that she deemed disrespectful. I loved her with all my heart. We spent plenty of days in detention the three of us. Then it became two.

We made it back to my apartment, Dabi was sitting on the couch, looking as though he'd never moved from that spot. His eyes were fixated on the television with Shadow sitting in his lap. A towel handing from his shoulders as little water droplettes fell from his hair. In his hand was a blunt we was rolling, the smell of food cooking in the air. I smiled.

"Dabert!" I say plopping down next to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, placing kisses on his cheek.

"Hey Princess." He says as he licked the blunt to keep a part of it in place. His eyes went back up to the television. "I cleaned the bathroom when I got done with my shower and ran you a bath."

I smile. "Thank you." I say kissing his cheek again. He turns his head just as I lean in to give him another peck, kissing my lips. He pecks my lips a few more times before going back to his tasks.

"Whatcha watching?" I ask.

"Unsolved Mysteries." He answers. "I don't get how most of this shit is unsolved when they clearly have all the evidence linked to a particular person."

"Ooh lemme hurry and take a bath so I could watch with you!" I jump up and run to the bathroom.

* Dabi & Hawks.*

"Pft." Dabi lets out a breath watching you practically run to the bathroom.

"You never warned me about Tiria, Touya." Keigo chuckles, reclining back on the couch. Dabi chuckles.

"Whoops." He says. "I'm sorry. She's a handful, but harmless. She's a less extreme Toga."

"She subtly threatened me if I hurt, Y/N."

Dabi's head falls back as he lets out a breath of laughter before nodding his head. "Sounds like her." He says between chuckles. He takes another breath. "God I miss her."

"I know." Keigo says nodding. "She made it clear that she and Y/N were all they had left."

Dabi smirks, imagining Tiria giving Keigo a mouthfull if he were to fuck with you in a way that Tiria deemed disrespectful. He remembers having to break up the several fights she'd gotten in when they were in middle school. The way he'd have to sit in detention just because he was there. Tiria's words of apology.

"I think I'm gonna tell her." Dabi breaks their small silence. Keigo looks over at him with a raised eyebrow. "I don't want her worrying about me anymore. I can't stand that look in her eyes when she knows something is wrong. She could easily use her quirk to find out, I'm just glad she hasn't. She trusts me and doesn't want to invade my privacy."

Keigo nods, intaking the information before looking off into nothing. "You know I'm here for the both of you, right?"

Dabi nods. "I know." He says. "Just so many memories coming down at once, it's hard to not feel a way about them."

"Just think, when this is all over, you get to be with them as much as you want." Keigo smiles. "Both of them; Shoto, Natsuo and Fuyumi too."

Dabi smirks. "I know, that's the only reason why I keep doing this." He says. "But Y/N deserves to know if she wants to continue to be with the both of us."

Keigo nods, reaching over to squeeze Dabi's shoulder.

*******

"Baby, I wanna talk to you." Dabi voice sounded over the television. I look up at him from the television and for some reason, I felt tension start to rise.

"What's wrong?" I ask, my heart rate quickening. I could feel Keigo wrap his arms around me. The room was eerily quiet, with the exception for the television going.

"Are you two breaking up with me?" I ask.

"Hell no!" The both of them spoke.

"Of course not, Lovebird." Keigo kisses my cheek.

"Then what is it?" I ask.

Dabi sighs heavily, running his hands over his face. He leaned forwards, his arms on his knees, staring at nothing. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Just hear him out baby." Keigo coos, rubbing my back.

"Dabi?" I call his name, and for the first time, he cringes slightly. "Baby, talk to me..."

"Please don't hate me." He mumbles, I could see him trembling. I moved from Keigo's grasp, sliding from the couch to sit cross-legged in front of Dabi on the floor. I took his hands in mine, brushing my thumbs across his knuckles.

"I could never hate you, Dabi." I say softly.

"You will after this." He looks at me, so distraught; so desperate as he gripped my hands tightly. "I've been lying to you."

I raised my eyebrows. "About what, baby?"

His lip quivered. My heart pounded. I've never seen Dabi like this before. He was always so cool and collected. So blunt and straight to the point. For him to be dancing around this subject, it must be pretty bad. I glanced at Keigo, who was now rubbing Dabi's back comforting him.

"About me." Dabi says softly, his voice barely above a whisper.

"What do you mean?" My tone matching his, out of fear of what was to come next.

"M-My name is-isn't Dabi..." He says. "It's a codename."

"So...what is your name..?" I say swallowing the dry lump in my throat.

"Breathe." Keigo coos, coaching both Dabi and I. He looks between the both of us, his eyes comforting me. Dabi's grip on my hand tightens again. He's trembling. He's so scared. "It's okay, We're here."

"Come on baby, please talk to me." I say, my voice shaky. "I won't be mad."

"I-It's T-Touya." He says, making my heart stop.

"T-Touya?" I repeat.

He nods, not bothering to look me in the eyes, but looking at our trembling hands instead.

"Touya, Todoroki." He answers.

"N-No." I say shaking my head. My head spinning, breathing becoming almost impossible.

"Hey, hey hey breathe kid." Keigo dropped to my side and massaged my shoulders. He kissed the top of my head as I tried to rack my brain of how the man sitting in front of me could possibly be my dead best friend. "T-Touya's......H-He's dead.."

"To you, Tiria and my family, I am." Dabi says. He swallows. "But not to the commision, or Dad."

"Wha-" I breathe out, on the verge of tears. "N-No, stop playing with me Dabi."

"I wouldn't kid about someone who was close to you, let alone dead." Dabi says, still refusing to look at me. "I'm telling the truth Touya had to die so Dabi could live."

I went to open my mouth but he stopped me with his words.

"I don't care where I am, even if I'm thousands of miles away, just call my name......And I'll be there."

My eyes widen, tears falling from my eyes.

Touya...

Touya....

His goofy grin surrounds me.

His voice consumes me.

His touch hits me hard.

His laugh.

"T-Touya..?"

Dabi breathes out, slumping from the couch and too the floor in front of me. "Yeah baby, it's me."

I tried to speak but nothing came out. My hands went up to his face, cupping his cheeks in my hands.

"Wha-What happened to you?"

"I had to do this." He says. "These are the scars from when I, uhm...Died."

"Touya." I sniff back tears. "It's really you?" I reach up some more, My thumbs brushing against his eyebrows as I examine his face through my tears.

He nods, sinking into my touch. "Yeah, it's really me."

I couldn't stop myself from sobbing. Touya pulled me into his chest, muffling my sobs as I gripped his shirt tightly.

"You've always been a crybaby." He whispers hugging me tightly. I squeezed him tightly as tears began to freefall from my eyes, making me cry harder. His scent from so many years ago clogging my nose. It was like everything came crashing down at once and I couldn't handle it.

"Touya." I cried.

"I'm here baby." He whispers, his hand on top of my head. His voice shaking. "I'm here."

"Why'd you lie to me? To Shoto? To all of us?!" I scream, hitting his chest with weak punches. I could feel Keigo's body against my back, the gentleness of his wings engulfing us in a cacoon as he too wrapped his arms around me. His head rested on my back, hugging me tightly.

"I had to baby, I'm sorry." He pleads. "I hurt you all in the worse way possible. But when this is all over I promise I wont ever leave you all again."

"Liar!" I scream, hitting his chest again. His chest shook.

"Hey, I need the both of you to breathe." Keigo coos.

I took in a shaky breath. "I am breathing." I mumble against Touya's chest.

"I'm so sorry, baby." Touya mumbles, his face falling into the top of my head. He squeezed me tightly. "I swear I'm sorry."

"Stop apologizing, Touya." I mumble. "I'm still trying to be unmad at you for leaving me with Tiria."

Touya let out a breathless chuckle, nuzzling into me. "You told me to stop apologizing."

"No, Apologize for that." I say.

He and Keigo both chuckle. Both of them kissing my head.

"You alright, Lovebird?" Keigo asks.

"Yes, but.. don't move." I say. "I like this."

"We're not going anywhere, Princess." Touya says. "Never."
