Night was here and there seemed to be no souls around beside mine that was slipping away. My body felt weightless as I soared in the night sky above the port; one specific destination in mind as I flew.

My phone rang and it was Dabi. I answered quickly just as I spoke, "Stop please. I'm not taking your calls or Tomura's." I hung up and continued flying.

They don't understand anything.

Finally after some minutes I arrived at my destination. I sat down and looked at the scenery before me. The night sky is so beautiful. Lately I've been seeing it more often; I can't believe I've wasted so much time not noticing how beautiful the night can be.

If only things had turned out different. Now look at me, running from the law, my friends, my family... it's not what I imagined my life to be.

As I looked up at the sky, several things came to mind. It's been several days since I saw All Might and just yesterday I ran into Shoto here at this very bridge. The talk we had was bittersweet.

I think it made everything much worse. Or perhaps it was just me cutting all ties with those ridiculous emotions I used to possess. It's probably the bittersweet feeling of realizing that villains don't get a happy relationship with someone; love and villains don't mix. It's exactly as Tomura said before and yet... why did he have those eyes filled with—

I took a step forward against the edge of the bridge. My wings helped me balance myself as I paced back and forth. As I did so I began recalling the events from yesterday and earlier today, it all began with Dabi.

"You know, keep clinging to me like that and it'll start making me think you don't just see me as a simple body to fuck." Dabi spoke as he laid me on top of him; my head being caressed by his hand as it rested on his chest.

I scoffed tiredly, "Dabi~ shush, wanna sleep."

I heard him titter softly, "You're really something else."

"I'm shitty." I mumbled.

"I wouldn't say that."

For a moment we both remained silent. I softly sighed and whispered, "I'm sorry."

He sighed as well; he heard me very clearly. "I know... I'm sorry too."

I took a nap next to him but I ended up waking earlier than he did. I saw his calm, sleepy face which made me feel bad for ever inciting this situation between us. He's a good guy deep inside despite the whole villainy stuff. I can tell he's been through some serious stuff.

But even so, I'm not good for him.

"If only had I met you first..." I whispered to no one in specific. I still have feelings for Tomura. If I had met Dabi first things probably would've been different.

Even then... if I hadn't met either of them, I wonder if...

I decided to leave while Dabi was sound asleep. This was a goodbye; I'll stop sleeping with him; for both our sakes. I don't want to keep hurting him. Or hurting myself.

The next day, after having that encounter with Dabi, I sent out a message to someone I needed to see... even if it'd be our last time.
