Dabi [POV]

I was jerked awake at around midnight to probably Compress throwing up in the bathroom.  I rolled my eyes standing up and padding softly down the hallway opening the bathroom door

"Seriously Compress this is why you shouldn't challenge me" I scolded but stopped short as Compress wasn't in the bathroom, it was Shigaraki, I rolled my eyes again "Dude seriously you had three beers"

"Oh I'm sorry I don't have a liver of steel like you do" he gasped out

"Whatever I'm surprised Compress isn't in here by how much he drank" I sighed starting to walk away

"How do you do it?" He asked

"How do I do what?" I asked back

"How do you have such high tolerance" I paused for a second

"A lot of practice and a lot of pent up hatred" I responded harshly walking back to my room.  I laid back down but annoyed realizing I wasn't tired anymore

"Talk about this ungodly hour" I muttered sitting back up.  I sighed getting out of bed and going down the hallway the bar.  I wasn't going to drink even though I was an alcoholic (Okay I admit it again) I still had standers but this was much to early.  I poured a glass of water and sat down at the bar

"Dabi seriously is that vodka?" Kurogiri snapped appearing behind the bar

"Jesus Christ" I exclaimed startled "No it's water even I have standards"

"This is why you shouldn't sleep all day you won't be able to sleep at night" he scolded

"No one could sleep with the mop head throwing up in the bathroom" I sighed

"That is to be expected since he never has had a good alcohol tolerance" Kurogiri responded

"Like father like son" I rolled my eyes

"Tomura is like a son to me but we are not related" he insisted

"Mhm no one here ever is" I shrugged

"Speaking of which you've never said much about your past have you?" Kurogiri asked

"No and I plan to keep it that way because I don't want people to know about it and I don't really want to spend the time remembering" I explained

"I see that's why you've never mentioned anything about it?" he nodded slowly understanding what I meant

"Well the mop head hasn't said anything about his past either so it's kind of fair" I shrugged taking a sip of water

"I guess you're right" He sighed again "I've got to take care of Tomura excuse me" he left the bar and left me alone to my thoughts

"Tomura Shigaraki" I muttered to myself "What a real pain" I laid my head down on my arms over the counter "Reminds me of my good for nothing father this whole place does" I stood up fatigue sweeping over me once more.  I went back to my room and collapsed in my bed falling asleep instantly.  I woke up early the next morning still riled up from the night before thinking about my family.  It was around 7:00 I would never get up this early but I couldn't really go back to sleep again.  I stood up grabbing my shirt from the floor and pulling it over my head messing up my hair but I didn't really care.  I walked out to the bar my glass of water still sitting at the counter as Kurogiri came over cleaning it up

"Holy crap he's up" Magne exclaimed 

"Oh shut up I couldn't sleep" I snapped glaring at him sitting on the couch

"Ptff for once you cant sleep that's weird" he laughed

"What is all the noise this early in-" Twice started coming into the bar "Holy crap he's up"

"You two are too alike" I shook my head sitting down at the bar

"You are not allowed to drink this morning eat something first" Kurogiri scolded

"Chill I wasn't going to ask for a drink I'm just sitting down" I exclaimed

"Well we never know" Magne insisted

"Oh shut up" I snapped

"Is this why you never get up in the morning's because you aren't very pleasant to be around even less than at night" Twice asked

"I'm a creature of the night the sunlight is killing me" I groaned

"Ugh" Shigaraki muttered flopping down on one of the bar stools

"This is why you shouldn't drink much Tomura" Kurogiri scolded

"It's because of him" He pointed at me

"What are you talking about I didn't do anything to you" I snapped

"You exist" he scowled looking down at the bar counter

"Oh thanks you're quite the little ray of sunshine yourself" I rolled my eyes

"Tonight I challenge the 'champion' to a drinking competition" he challenged

"Tomura you drank last night" Kurogiri exclaimed

"Whatever your funeral don't say I didn't warn you" I accepted leaning back on the bar stool

"You're all so loouuud" Compress muttered coming into the bar pushing down on my face again causing me to fall off my chair just like the other day

"Compress seriously" I exclaimed

"You all are so loud" he whined again sitting down on one of the bar stools close to the wall

"Have some water" Kurogiri offered "The both of you" He gave Shigaraki and Compress both a glass of water.

"Dabi you're impossible" Compress mumbled

"Oh whatever I'm getting blamed for everything today" I stood the stool upright but instead of sitting back down I started to walk away "I take that back I'm exhausted already I'm going back to sleep" 

"And it was worth while when it lasted" Twice muttered as I walked down the hallway.  I opened my door and shut it behind me.  I knelt down in front of the bed pulling out a photo from under it.  I turned my lamp on and sat back on the bed with a yawn.  I looked at the photo, it was one of me.  When I was younger at least.  I had several piercings plenty in my ears a nose and lip piercing back then which I've taken out since.  My hair was red and spiky and I had the small formation of burns on my face and body.  I crumpled the photo anger overwhelming me.  I started to burn it letting it fall to the floor.  The flames went out leaving the crumpled half burned photo on the floor.
