²⁵longing for unattainable redemption

a week prior

Dabi curses loudly as he barges into his apartment.

The front door gets slammed shut so hard that the doorknob pops off. But he doesn't have time to worry about that. There are bigger issues clouding his mind.

Earlier in the night he had climbed up to the second floor balcony. When he first went there he wasn't planning to watch you shower. No not at all. He only wanted to make sure you didn't forget about him or fell in love with Shouto. That's the main reason why he follows you around at almost all hours of the day. To see if you still have a villain on your mind.

Even though he can't read your throughts, it is satisfying to see the way you and your husband avoiding each other so much.

That's how Dabi ended up near your house every night, watching you until you fell asleep. Occasionally he would pull out his phone to take some pictures of you. It didn't matter what you were doing. If you did anything he found remotely attractive he would snap a photo.

Fixing your hair? Snap.

Scrolling on your phone? Snap.

Changing your clothes? Snap.

There are a few photos of you naked in the set. Those will always be his absolute favorite; whenever he needs a release he would go to his gallery on his phone, find a nude picture, then rub the phone screen against the tip of his cock as he masturbates for hours on end. Orgasms are forced out his body over and over again because he refuses to stop until his entire device is sticky. There was always an obscene thrill he'd get from seeing his cum all over your pictures. There were times he'd lay the screen on his face after spraying it with his seed, wishing he could have your sweet aroma close to him.

When he saw your body exposed behind the glass of the shower he didn't want to miss the opportunity. There aren't many days he could get the chance to see a woman like you clean themself. The glass was a bit fogged so he couldn't see most parts of your body. Wasn't much of a disadvantage, it just encouraged his mind to wander.

Examining the way the soap gets rubbed onto your soft skin, the water droplets rolling down your body. It was far too interesting. He took his phone and began to take pictures. Dabi chuckled to himself when he noticed a tent started to form in his pants.

He said quietly, "Oh angel, you do weird things to me."

Before he could let himself get carried away--possibly masturbate on your balcony--the sound of water turning off was caught by his ear. Dabi curiously looked in the bathroom again, eager to see your naked body again. Exposed... vulnerable... all for his eyes to see.

But then, his gaze landed on your bruises and burnt arm.

Bruises were most likely from your dad beating you up. The villain had taken care of that man already. But, Dabi never noticed the burn. He'd seen the bandages but didn't think much of it, assuming it was just another bruise from your father you had become insecure of.

You took a burn cream out from the cabinet. One he recognized well because he used to use the same brand. Carefully spreading it onto your tender skin, you searched for more bandages.

The sight tipped him over the edge and he had to stop himself from using his quirk. Burning flames inside him churned around recklessly. Someone had used their fire quirk on you.... badly.
