◆02◆ The safest place for her

Inside of a silent train, Michiyo was sitting on the other side of Dabi. She continued to stare at him because this might be the last time she will ever see him again when they go their separate ways. She wanted to silently appreciate the moment of him sleeping. 'He said he didn't feel good. Travel sickness?' She was still wearing his jacket because she said the night was a little chilly for her. She liked how he was kind to her in his own little ways. 'He really look like he's grinning...' It was ironic for Dabi to have a constant grin of a patchwork on his face considering he always spoke with a deadpanned attitude. She wondered about the origin of his scars, but she never asked; he'd probably never tell her a thing about them.

Michiyo smiled to herself and she moved to sit next to him She rest the side of her head against him and she closed her eyes in comfort. "Dabi, you remember when I told you you're a good dream? I really did mean it. Out of everyone I have met in my life, you're the one I like the most."

"Don't sit next to me and say such creepy things." He said, eyes still closed. He tried to sleep off the travel sickness but it was not possible.

"Sorry."

"If you're going to use me as your pillow, be quiet." He was not tolerant of most people, but she's probably the least annoying of them all so far.

"What do you plan to do when you leave me at my destination?"

"I haven't fully decided yet."

"I thought adults always have a plan."

"Not having a plan can be a plan too."

Michiyo chuckled at his words, "Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure you'll make it happen."

Dabi then lazily opened his eyes. He could see countless stars in the sky, "What about you?"

"That depends."

"What's this? Don't make it sound like you have something in mind then. And stop talking to me so much."

"But you're the one answering back."

Dabi rolled his eyes and he stayed silent once again as he closed his eyes.

A while later, she opened her blue eyes, "If I said I wanted to follow you, will you be angry?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The new city they were in now was rather serene. So serene and lively, bustling with slices of life here and there.

Michiyo smiled at him as they walked through a park, "Huh, everyone back in Shinju looked at me weird, but now people are looking at you weird."

"I wonder why." Dabi knew exactly why; Michiyo's too pure to be in places like Shinju, while he's like oil if this city was water. Respectively, they both stood out in some way before and after leaving Shinju.

"Ooh!" She ran over to a crepe stand. "Dabi, look!"

"I told you not to run off."

"I didn't run, I speed-walked."

"And get back over here now. I'll give you 3 seconds to come back on your own."

"Wait!"

"What now?"

"How are you counting?"

"How am I counting?"

"Are you going to go '3, 2, 1' or '1, 2, 3'? Please make it clear so I can prepare."
