I feel like we all need some more Dabi material
--------------------
"Did you get enough love, my little dove? Why do you cry? And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best Though it never felt right My little Versailles"
The sixteen-year-old wept on the floor. His blood-stained tears ran down his face. The voices in his head yelled he'd never be enough, never strong enough, never loved enough. As his body burned at the hands of his quirk, he sat in anguish. "Did you get enough love, my little dove?" A gentle voice whispers. Soft hands begin to wipe his tears away as they smile at him admiringly. "Why do you cry?" It whispers before fading out.
Gasping, Touya shots up from his bed. His eyes desperately sweep the room he once slept in. Longing to be held once again. Staring down at his hands that are far more scarred than what they were three years ago, he feels a drop fall from his eye. His fingers tangle themselves into his hair as he allows the crimson tears to fall freely. "I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best. Though it never felt right..." The faint voice echoed in his memory.
--------------------
"I always thought I might be bad, Now I'm sure that it's true 'Cause I think you're so good And I'm nothing like you..."
--------------------
"Dabi!!" The two boys yelled as they rushed to the other. Their laughter filled the air as they tackled him in a hug. The three fall onto the hard floor below them with a soft thud. Rolling his eyes, Touya ruffles their hair before pushing them off. The old tree house creeks as they sit down.
"I brought snacks!" He cheered as he pulled out chips from his bag. His smile only seemed to grow as the Zihao and Hu began to celebrate. So, this is what it was like to feel needed.
[after the incident]
Dabi carefully climbs the ladder, sighing he pushes the door open. "Guys I'm sorr-" He pauses as he stares at the now empty space. No trace of the two could be seen, not even a spare lighter. "...guys?"
Blue flames danced with the stars that night. Leaving only ashes in its wake.
--------------------
[How Dabi's betrayal affect Hu and Zihao]
Zihao: abandonment issues that started with his dad and only grew when Touya left them. He now feels like he needs to be the big brother who protects others so they don't have to go through what he did. Which is why he tries to protect Hu and the students so much.
Hu: A fear of large amounts of fire and seeing Zihao unresponsive. This also explains why he gets to mad when Zihao is hurt or in certain situations. He feels worthless in these moments because he couldn't get Zihao out of Dabi's flames.
