◆05◆ Somehow, tell me it's just a dream

Michiyo glanced away for the 100th time and it was really getting on Dabi's nerves. Seriously, why was she so excited of meeting someone whom she had only met once anyway? 

They were at a park near the mansion where her hellish days began. They travelled quite far to make it here, to the Hatotenshi Ward, also nicknamed 'Angel's heart'. Dabi found the name rather ironic because the richest family in this ward, the Okumura, were the furthest thing from angelic. After what they did to Michiyo, they put the devil to shame. 

"You know? Glancing for god knows how many times will not make him appear faster." Dabi said, getting a little impatient with the magician's lateness. "Why are you so excited to meet him anyway?" 

"Because he took me away from that hell." 

Now that Dabi think about it, he doesn't know a thing about her before she made it to him. "Why didn't he stay with you?" 

"We were chased. He said he will stay behind to deal with them and he told me to run for it." Michiyo looked up at the night sky and she gave a sad smile, "I never knew what happened after that..." 

"He must be a strong guy since he let you run for it." 

"I have to thank him in person." 

"For rescuing you?" 

"And another thing." 

"What's that?" 

"For giving me the chance to meet you in Shinju." 

Dabi didn't expect her to say that. He looked at her and he saw her blushing and then turn her back to him. 

"Y-you might not care about our first meeting, but I do! Very much..."

Their first meeting...it felt so long but not too long at the same time. When? When did he become at peace with her? Great, he couldn't imagine tomorrow without her now. 

"Tch, where is that damn magician? Doesn't he have a trick to make him appear quicker?"

"Even if he does, Dabi, he won't show it you."

"That's right. That's because a magician never reveals their trick, even if it costs their life." His voice came from the street light in front of them. Coming out from behind the pole, Mr. Compress came to give them his greetings in the form of magic, he turned two Ace of Spades into two Ace of Hearts. "To the cute couple right here." 

"Mr. Compress!" Michiyo ran up to the magician wearing a large golden overcoat. The magician was masked and walking with a cane and he looked exactly like Michiyo had first saw him. 

"A fan? Would you like me to grace you with an autograph?" 

Michiyo felt like crying just seeing him. She held back her tears and she grasped her skirt, "D-do you remember me? You probably don't, but..." 

Mr. Compress showed her his gloved left hand. There was nothing on it, but a single click of his fingers and Michiyo was greeted with a pink cosmos flower. 

Michiyo was astonished by the magic trick that Dabi could decipher how it worked in an instant. She looked at Mr. Compress with a genuinely surprised look. 

"I haven't forgotten, little diamond." Mr. Compress said to her. He then looked at Dabi, "Well then? You're the one who asked for my co-operation?" 

Dabi nodded. 

"Sako Atsuhiro, at your service." 

"...right now, I go as Dabi." 

Michiyo looked at Dabi, not really listening to the conversation between the two adults. She should really listen to what they're saying but she couldn't stop staring at the man with purple patches. She was thinking about how she's now the one who doesn't know a thing about Dabi. She just knew he was her hero and she could smile happily when she's with him, she doesn't know the real name Dabi was born with. She felt that he exposed parts of her to see and she was now curious about him.
