The night seemed to drone on ever so slowly. I've never been so eager to want to go home ever in my life.

"See you guys tomorrow!" I wave at Rein and Tiria as I exit.

"See you later Y/N!" Tiria waved.

Surprisingly she didn't even say anything else about the feather. I'm sure in due time she'd come to realize who the feather belonged to.

If he ever decided to pay a visit here again...

I pushed the door open, walking out to the public. Something from the corner of my eye caught my attention. It was black pants, a black hoodie. It was Dabi. He was here, on time, like he said he would.

My heart thumped in my chest seeing him lean against the building as I fully exited my job. The smell of marijuana once again evident in the air. His lazy blue eyes catching my gaze. Pushing himself off the wall, he blew out smoke.

"I thought you're suppose to be out?" I asked when he stepped in stride with me.

"It's dark enough to go unnoticed." He replies, handing me the joint. "How was work?"

I nod taking the joint and taking a hit. "I got good tips." I say, blowing the smoke out.

"Exciting."

Well, you don't sound excited.

"Oh most definitely." I managed to imitate his tone.

"Maybe aim to double it tomorrow." He says.

"You have way too much confidence in me, my friend."

Dabi chuckles. "You women have something us men don't."

"And that is?" I raised an eyebrow, handing him the joint back.

"Pussy." He answers with a shrug.

I couldn't help but laugh. "What?"

"Men love a pretty face." He says. "You've got the face and the body. If you suffer from extreme resting bitch face, then I understand. Only the strong survive."

"One would be a lucky mother fucker if my mean ass like you." I say with a smirk.

"I wouldn't doubt it." He says. "That makes Hawks a lucky mother fucker then, huh?"

What?

"Excuse me?"

"Don't play dumb with me Princess." Dabi scoffs, passing the joint back to me as we walked down the street. "I know about the first time he saw you. And the first time I did too."

I choked as I tried to inhale the smoke. Thoughts of him smirking at me when he left the store came flooding into my mind.

He truly is beautiful. I see why Hawks has him in his corner. Dabi reached his hand over and patted my back softly. He wasn't trying to hurt me, being as gentle as he could which I did in fact appreciate. But for some reason, his touch-even through my clothes, were sending such a chill up my spine.

"Careful." He says softly. "I didn't mean to catch you off guard."

"No..No, you're fine." I say between coughs. His hands rub the spot on my upper back, right between my shoulders. When he stopped, I could feel the lightness of his fingertips across my neck, recreating the same sensations as when Hawks touched the visible skin of my uniform.

Their touches; so similar, yet so different.

The coolness of the air being the only thing that brought me back to reality, remembering that his touch was now gone. The subtle warmness of his fingertips still lingering across my neck. I could feel my cheeks heat. I couldn't deny this physical attraction if I tried.

The attraction to him; the attraction to Keigo. I'd be a fool to deny any of that. The dirty blone of Keigo's hair. The pure gold hues of his eyes when he stared at you. His clothes may have been baggy, but feeling his body pressed against mine on so many occassions...That strong, broad body of his. The length of his neck. How his hands were twice as big as mine, but were soft to touch. How his eyes twinkled when he smiled. And when he wanted you, oh god when he wanted you.... the feral look in those wild golden eyes, like a preditor waiting to pounce on his prey. It made me feel like I was a lamb, and Keigo.... the wolf.

And then there was Dabi.

He was alot slimmer than Keigo. I could tell from the way his pants fit his legs and the way my arms wrapped around his torso when we hugged. Though, he was a bit taller than Keigo. His dark raven hair. Those piercing, intimidating cerulean eyes. So pure blue it was a wonder if they were actually real. And the scars.. I couldn't but wonder how he'd gotten them. Everytime I saw him, it made me wonder what all he'd been through. What all Keigo went through. What the both of them went through in order to come together and become...one simple entity.

Sure they joked with one another, and now that I knew they were together, I seen so much of the mark Keigo put on Dabi, it was hard not to see it. It was sure Dabi was more of an introvert. Given the fact he stayed in dark places, even in public he kept low. Ignoring the fact that he was in fact he was indeed a wanted criminal.

The only thing that truly confused me was how could he choose that path? Why was he in the league?

I hit the joint once more, blowing the smoke out. We'd made it to my apartment and Dabi once again used the wall to put the joint out and tuck it in his hoodie.

"Want to come up and see Shadow?" I ask him. I watched the twinkle in his eye before he smirks.

"Just for a bit I suppose." He says as if it wasn't a big deal. I laugh.

"We're both high and I know you're hungry too." I tell him as we both walk into my apartment building. He again held the door open for me to walk in. We stalked down the hall. Once we made it to my door, I pulled my keys out my back, unlocking the door. Dabi pushed the door open, waiting for me to walk in first. I flicked the light on, Shadow curled up on the couch as he always is. I removed my bag from my shoulder and walked into my room

"You can get comfortable if you want." I tell him as I set my things down in the room. "I'm gonna take a shower, I'll be back in a bit."

I'd poke my head out, seeing Dabi remove his hoodie, his shirt slightly rising in the process giving a peak of his happy trail, a well defined v-line and about four abs. Once he was out of his hoodie, his loose black shirt flopped back down around the top of his jeans, the loose V-neck of the shirt giving a peak at his scarred neck with a bare chest. Keigo's feather hanging loosely around his neck, with a silver letter T hanging right next to it. His arms were scarred as well from the top of his bicep on down to his wrists.

I watched as he ruffled his hair, completely oblivious to me watching him so closely. He let out a breath, I'm assuming getting comfortable, before he turned and sat on the couch. I saw him hold Shadow up, his head falling back on the couch. I could see a glimpse of a smile as he looked up at Shadow, who meowed looking down at Dabi while he was in the air. The sight alone made my heart smile. I couldn't help but show it on the outside when my lips curled into a smile.

"You're a bean." I find myself saying.

Dabi's head turned to the left, looking at me like a deer caught in headlights, Shadow still hovering over his head. "What did you just call me?" He asked. My smile widened.

"A bean." I say innocently. I even bat my eyelashes.

"Get your musty ass in the shower Princess." He rolls his eyes, turning back to Shadow, before lowering the feline on his chest, nuzzling his face into it's black fur.

I watched for a bit longer before turning away and heading into the bathroom. I turned on my shower, letting the water get hot while I turned on my bluetooth speaker. I scrolled through my shower playlist, finding one of my favorite songs before pressing play.

I stripped down, seeing that my shower was now hot enough for me to get in. I slid the shower door open before stepping inside, sighing as the water hit my skin. I began singing the song, forgetting I had someone sitting on my couch in the living room.

I felt this song on so many different levels. I was the black sheep of my family. My parents never approved of the way I wanted to choose to live my life. My brothers and sisters were suppose to be the perfect example of what I was suppose to be. Make them proud.

Well, ecept my oldest brother whom my parents shunned. They literally do not claim him. And sadly, I'm on the verge of that too.

What would they think if they knew I was getting cozy with a criminal?

They'd be more approving of me scoring a Pro-Hero, but they'd definately have alot to say about Dabi, no question about it.

I let out a breath as the song ended, switching to a more realatively happier song. Of course I sung that song too. I always have concerts in my showers. It was just how I lived my life.

I washed my body, rinsing off before washing my hair. Once I was done, I turned the shower off and stepped out grabbing my towel and drying myself off. I lotioned my body down and dressed in some biker shorts and a tank top before twisting my hair into a bun at the top of my head.

I exited the bathroom through the door that lead to the living room, seeing Dabi was now completely comfortable on my couch, Shadow curled up on his chest. I peered over the arm of the couch, seeing Dabi completely slouched down and in a deep sleep. One arm hanging off the couch, the other resting peacefully on top of Shadow. His steady breathing the only thing telling me he was still alive. I tilt my head. Dabi was so unintentionally beautiful. Even in his sleep. His hair brushing against his cheeks, his mouth hanging slightly open, soft snores escaping his body.

"Hey," I say touching him lightly, careful not to startle him. I watched him shift his lips pursing together as his eyebrows stitched together, trying to wake himself up from his slumber. His eyes flutter open as he looks around, checking his surroundings before he looks down at Shadow sleeping on his chest. His head then falls back, releasing an exhale, before his eyes turned up to me.

"Are you allergic to seafood?" I ask as I tilt my head to the side.

"What?" Dabi's groggy voice fell on my ears line honey.

Can something you do be NOT attractive?

"Are you allergic to seafood?" I ask my question again. "I'm about to make salmon burgers.

"The fuck is that?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Are you serious?" I couldn't believe it. I shook my head. "Are you allergic or not, Dabi?"

"No, Princess." He turns over on his side, cuddling in a ball facing the back of the couch, snuggling Shadow.

"Good." I say. "I'll wake you when it's done."

He grumbled in response, drifting back to sleep. I walked to the kitchen, grabbed the salmon fillets I had thawing while I was at work before washing my hands and beginning my seasoning process and oiling my pan, waiting for it to heat. I entered the bathroom grabbing my speaker, hooking my phone up once more and turning the volume low, careful not to wake Dabi before pressing play. Soon enough, everything was ready and the smell of my seasonings filled the air.

As I prepped the burger buns, I saw movement from the corners of my eye. I looked up seeing Dabi was now sitting up and once again ruffling through his hair. He stood, streatching to his full height before letting out a satisfied groan. And lord was that sexy. He scratched the back of his head as he walked to the island and leaned over the counter that seperated him from me.

"Smells good." He says watching me. I smirk.

"It's gonna taste good too." I say.

"We'll see about that." He says. "I don't trust everybody's cooking."

"If you're picky, just say that." I glance up at him, seeing him smirk.

"I'm picky." He says smartly.

Cheeky bastard.

I snorted. "You're too old to be this petty, Dabi."

He chuckles. "Do you need help with anything?" He asked genuinely. He chewed on the corner of his lip when he asked.

God, this man was so adorable.

"No, I'm almost done." I reply. "Thank you though."

I turn back to the salmon, flipping them to make sure both sides were cooked evenly. I could feel his eyes on me from behind. He was watching me a little too closely if I had to guess. It took everything in me not to fidget.

Finally done, I turned the stove off, placing each fillet onto their burger buns. I topped them, handing Dabi his portion.

"Thanks." He says, looking them over. "Well it's not burnt, I can say that much."

"Fuck you, Dabi." I say biting into my own.

He took a bite of his, chewing slowly before nodding just as slow as he was chewing.

"Not bad Princess." He says between chews. "Pretty good. Seasoned right. Juicy."

"Thank you." I say with a shake of my head.

The both of our phones binged almost simutaneously. I picked mine up as Dabi fished in his pocket for his. It looked as though Hawks added the both of us to a group chat.

From Keigo:
Outside.

Dabi places his food down on the plate. "I'll get it."

He stepped over to my door, opening it before walking back to his food. Hawks stepped in, closing the door behind him and locking it. He quickly joined us, standing next to Dabi as he ate.

"What is this?" He asked when Dabi held his half eated burger to his mouth.

"A fish burger." Dabi says as Hawks takes a bite.

"Salmon burger." I corrected.

"Same thing." He shrugs as Hawks takes another bite, obviously enjoying being fed.

"It's good, Kid." Hawks says between his chews.

"Have you eaten?" Dabi and I asked quickly. We looked at one another as Hawks smiled at the both of us. It was pretty weird how well we got along so quickly. I've always been outgoing, Obviously Dabi was an introvert.

What would he really do with an Extravert( Me) and an Ambivert ( Hawks )?

"If you lie Keigo, I swear to god." Dabi says pushing his plate with a whole salmon burger on it towards  him. I picked up my own untouched burger and dropped it on the plate that was now Keigo's. He chuckled.

"Guys-"

"Eat." I say sternly cutting him off.

He stared at me, his eyes twinkling and feathers ruffling in a way that I knew he was not only turned on, but he was thinking about asserting his own dominance.

"You heard her." Dabi tacks on. "Fucking eat Keigo. You know I hate when you barely eat."

Hawks lets out a sigh, finally backing down. I assumed he'd been able to sweet talk Dabi in situations like these, but I for sure wasn't going to let him win anything. I guess Dabi and I both overpowered him.

"Fine." He says before eating. "Don't think you two can double team me all the time." He looks between the both of us, that wild twinkle I've seen before in the back of his eyes. I swallowed before smirking.

"Is it smoke friendly in here?" Dabi asked ignoring Hawks. I nod. I usually smoke in here myself. No use in denying anyone else.

Dabi didn't hesitate to grab his backwoods and capsule of weed, setting it on the island counter. He handed me a backwood.

"Do me a. Favor and empty this Princess." He asked politely. I tookd it, walking to the trash and unraveling the leaf, careful not to tear it, and dumping the tobacco out into the trash. I made sure I gotten it all out before I walked back over and placed it on the counter while Hawks ate and Dabi carefully broke down the nugs he had.

"Do you want me to cut it for you?" I ask.

"That would be amazing." Dabi smiles at me. "You're the best smoke buddy."

"Excuse me?" Hawks frowns, a moutful of food as he chewed away making me giggle. I grabbed the scissors from a drawer, measuring the leaf and started the cutting process.

"You don't even know how to roll, Keigo." Dabi says flatly as he carefully separated the stems and seeds from the weed itself.

"Fuck you." Hawks mumbles just as he finished eating. I got finished with the backwood, cutting it to the perfect size and slid it towards Dabi who thanked me once more, I scooped the stems, seeds and my own trash onto Hawk's now empty plate before taking it to the trash. When I returned, Dabi was just starting his tuck and roll process. Carefully rolling the joint and licking it to seal it closed. His tongue rings becoming visible as he did. He didn't only have the regular tongue piercing, he had one going across the tip of his tongue as well.

Good God....

I've never wanted to be a blunt so bad.

"Had a good day, Kid?" Hawks asks leaning onto the counter. I nod.

"Pretty good to say the least." I say, glancing at Dabi every now and then as he continued to roll the blunt. The way his tongue flicked the leaf sending a chill down my spine.

Hawks removes his own jacket, his wings flapping and ruffling once they were free.

These two men were going to be the death of me...

All they're doing is just being casual and here I am, wanting the both of them to break me the fuck in half.

What is wrong with us?

It's been well over a year and some change since my last physical intimacy with someone. My ex rather.

Oh great... Now I'm thinking about him.. Why now of all times?

I haven't thought about him for months. And now, every single memory I've had with him, good and bad were flooding it's way into my head.

"Hey, you okay Kid?" Hawks asks. He had circled around the counter to me, his body pressing against my entire right side as his hand slipped around my waist. His bare fingers lightly grazing my hip, trying to calm me. I took in a breath, although it was shaky and turned to look up at him. Both he and Dabi were looking at me with concern. Dabi even stopped mid-lick of the blunt, his eyes brows raised, eyes glued to me waiting for me to answer Hawks' question.

Hawks eyes roamed around my face, looking for any sign that could be wrong. I quickly looked down at my hands as they were pressed flatly on the counter and nodded my head. I couldn't speak. That time in my life was a very dark one. Something I thought I'd have to be stuck with. It wasn't a healthy relationship. More toxic than anything.

"Hey," Keigo's voice was soft and so was his touch as his other hand reached out to grip my jaw, turning my face back to him, his thumb caressing my cheek calming me. "You know you can trust us, right?" His eyes stared deep down into my soul. Pushing past the girl that put up such a facade of being so witty, so uncaring, so.....false and seeing me. The fragile girl who hid from the world, hated affection but craved it all at the same time.

I had the number two Pro-Hero in my home, consoling me and we'd just started talking not too long ago. And for some reason I felt closer to he and Dabi than I've ever had to my own best friend. And Tiria and I have been best friends since the both of us were in elementary.

Again however, I nod. I couldn't form words without having the urge to want to break down in tears.

Dabi had finished rolling the blunt, setting it down and walking over to me as well. His body pressing against the left side of me, he and Hawks practivally sandwhiching me in. His arm criss-crossing against Hawks' around my waist, his fingers lightly tracing patterns on the other side of my hip. He used his free hand to push my now dry strands of hair out of the way to kiss my temple.

"We're here for you, Y/N." He coos into my ear. The both of them soothing me. I looked between the both of them, genuine worry in their eyes. They weren't just asking if I were okay or if I wanted to vent just to be courteous, they truly wanted to know. They wanted to comfort me. They wanted to tell me everything was going to be okay because it truly would be; not because that was the only right thing to say in the moment. I couldn't just dump my trauma onto them like this. Not like this..

I shook my head looking down at my hands once more.

"I-I'm fine." I managed to get out, feeling my voice cracking with each pronounciation of just those two words alone. "Just took a hard left turn in my mind. That's all."

Keigo pressed his lips together. I could feel him looking up at Dabi. For the sake of myself, I activated my Quirk for the first time in what felt like forever. Listening to the both of their voices. Although they shared knowing glances, it sounded as if the both of them had a mental conversation with one another.

'She's hurting over something.' Keigo's voice whispered in my head.

'Something she's not ready to talk about Keigo.' It was Dabi's turn. 'Give her time to trust us more and hopefully we can revisit this in the future'

'I hate seeing her like this and this is the first time I've seen it.' I could feel Keigo looking down at me. Soon enough I felt him kiss the top of my head. Once he pulled away, Dabi's hand was on top of my head, scratching at my scalp in such a calming way. I almost broke down and cried right then and there. But I couldn't.. I can't expose this side of myself to them.

'Yeah, no kidding man.' Dabi's voice whispered the last few words before I stopped my quirk. I took in a breath and pursed my lips together, feeling a smile tug on my lips.

"You guys are beans." I whisper, the both of them looking down at me. Keigo chuckles.

"You're a bean too, Kid." He says. "You just don't know it yet."

"A baked bean." Dabi emphasizes.

My eyes shoot up to him as Hawks stiffles back a laugh. "A baked....A BAKED BEAN?!"

Dabi covers his mouth as he laughs. "I'm kidding, Princess."

I purse my lips into a smirk. I look between the both of them. "You two really are too good." I say. "I appreciate you two so much and it hasn't even been that long."

Dabi's hand flops on my head once more, ruffling my hair and tossing it about, freeing it from the bun it was in as Keigo stroked my cheek once more. Then at the same time, the both of them lean down and kiss both sides of my temple, leaving me a puddle of goo between the both of them.

"Alright, enough soft shit." Dabi says reaching over the counter and grabbing the blunt. "Time to smoke."
