Flirt and Avoid, That's the Strat.

Dabi/Touya Todoroki x FtM Reader

Requested by Gramster523 I hope you enjoy and I apologize this took so long ahaha-

!!WARNING!!: Dysphoria, self-doubt, toxic masculinity, general insecurities

Quirk: Empath- (Y/n) can read other peoples emotions, if he so pleases. Along with reading, he can pick up on them and feel them as well.

(Y/n) has a very secret special move that he created only for Dabi called 'Connection.' If you guess that this means he openly shares a chosen fraction of his own emotions with Dabi, you'd be correct. Although, sometimes he shares them subconsciously - without him knowing it.

"(Y/n), would you kind helping me out with some of these glasses?" Kurogiri asked, spotting the most helpful Villain he's ever met.

"Hm? Oh! Sure thing!" He smiled back.

It was strained, his smile. He didn't even quite understand the root of the issue himself, he just felt horrible today. He has moved around a lot today - especially playing a new game Toga made up called "Stab Tag".

Not fun.

As the hour went along, he felt worse and worse - coming to the conclusion that today was one of those days. Only, instead of just a day of feeling like this, he had a gut wrenching feeling that it would last all week. Great.

Kurogiri glanced over at the (shorter/taller) next to him, noticing something was off. It didn't take a genius to know what it was.  I mean, everyone there already knew (Y/n)'s situation.

They accepted it, of course - they're Villains, not monsters! They're like one big fucked up family.

(Y/n) caught the elder Villain inspecting his behavior and quickly shifted his expression into one of interest. An interest in someone particular.

"(L/n), are you all right?" He asked, putting the last glass away on the shelf below the counter.

"Hm? Yeah, I'm doing just fine!" He smiled at the human vape cloud, that smile turning into a smirk with half lidded (e/c) eyes.

"I'll be even better once my darling gets back from scouting the targe area~" He said; mostly to himself, but he didn't mind if Kurogiri heard him. The more he sees and hears this act, the better.

××××

About an hour later, Twice, Dabi, and Shigaraki had returned; the look on the black haired Villain face was one stuck in thought.  He was seriously thinking about something...

'I wonder what's wrong..' (Y/n) thought to himself. He decided to check in on his lover, getting startled by what he felt and by the fact that Dabi's gaze had snapped up to the (h/c) haired man.

'Oh shit-'

Thinking fast on his feet, he jumped off the barstool he was sitting on and raced into the (taller/shorter) criminal, discombobulating him and throwing off his balance.

He squeezed his arms tight around his boyfriend's waist and leaned his lips (up/down) to his scarred ear.

"I've been waiting for you~" The empath whispered, biting his earlobe a little and letting it go after a few seconds.

"Wait, hold on-" He mumbled out, not letting the action effect him in any distracting way.

"I don't know if it's the sun, but you somehow look even hotter after you come back from scouting~" (Y/n) flirted, winking at the other still in his arms.

Shigaraki rolled his eyes as he and Twice approached the counter, doing his best to completely ignore the two sickening lovebirds

"No, hey, just you wait a minute-" Dabi tried sternly, grabbing the flirtatious male's arms and trying to pull them off to get his attention; to talk about what he was really feeling.

At this point, (Y/n) was getting desperate trying to override his emotions and display them on to the noirette in front of him.

"Did you clean your coat today before you left, Dabi? You look cute in shiny stuff~" The (h/c) Villain bit his (thin/plump) bottom lip and backed away to look him up and down, seduction seeming to be his end goal for this "Flirty Tango of Avoidance".

"(Y/n), quit trying to hide it. It's too late to save yourself now, you need to talk about it."

Panicked, (Y/n) froze for a minute as he tried to think of something - anything.

"You're it, Toga!" He shouted, breaking away from Dabi's hold and making a mad sprint down the hallway of the old decrepit bar.

"Damnit, (Y/n)!" He shouted after him, dodging the blonde haired female that came at him with a fucking knife in her hand. She proceeded to chase Spinner with it after the burnt man left.

He chased after the (shorter/taller), up the stairs and out on the rooftop where Touya had taken his hand again to make him stop trying to run.

"Hey! What are trying to prove here!?" The older exclaimed, turning his partner around to face him. But their eyes didn't meet.

"I'm just trying to get some time alone!"

"It's not safe for you to be alone right now, (Y/n)!"

"Don't you think I know that!?"

"I did! But apparently, I was wrong! Because you and I are here right now in a situation where I'm taking care of you!"

"THEN JUST FORGET ABOUT ME!"

The air went silent and tense, (Y/n)'s eyes widened in shock as he still neglected to make eye contact with Dabi - who was just as shocked until his gaze softened.

"(Y/n),"

"No. I'm a freak anyways, you'd love a real guy so much more than someone like me..."

"(Y/n)-"

"I mean, come on! I can't even cut off my emotions like normal guys-" Dabi pressed his lips to the (shorter/taller)'s, finally getting him to stop spouting nonsense.

When he pulled away, he spoke softly.

"You aren't giving me a chance to share my thoughts on this situation, darling." He chuckled.

"You're not a freak, you were just given another obstacle - think of it as a test of strength on all fronts. Cutting off your emotions is definitely not something you should do, that's called toxic masculinity. Having emotions is only human, (Y/n)... And for fuck's sake," he put both of his hands on either (soft/gaunt) cheek of his lover.

"I am never going to just forget about you. How could I if you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." He kissed the other again, this time he kissed back.

"I love you, got that?"

"Yeah.. got it." (Y/n) smiled.
