Your eyes instinctively squeezed shut as the lights flickered on. Still practically blind from the switch between your night vision, you sat up and tossed the pizza box off yourself.

"What in the name of God?!", you growled. You shakily managed to get yourself to your feet and turned to glare at a very puzzled-looking Dabi. "Excuse you, but what the actual fuck?", you threw up your arms to emphasize your confusion. He held your gaze for a few seconds before his shoulders slumped slightly as he returned to his normal, effortless composure. "What are you doing?", his tone was bare, void of any and all emotions.

You frowned at him. "Clearly, I was ripping a hole into the universe alongside my witch coven".

He pursed his lips, raising a single eyebrow at you. You sighed, resisting the urge to roll your eyes. "It's quite obvious that I was eating".

"You're being held hostage and decide to raid the fridge?".

"Well, to be fair, you never specified that the fridge was off-limits . . . and if anything, this could quite frankly be considered as an attempt at fitting in". Dabi stared at you, still unfazed. You saw his eyes leave yours and trail down. He took a few steps towards you before leaning over the counter to pull a slice of pizza from your shoulder. He held the pizza with long fingers as both of your eyes rested on the slice. "Is this my pizza?", he asked, looking up at you from the slice. You swallowed lightly. "Is that really a matter of concern right now?", you muttered, averting your gaze.

"You ate my pizza", Dabi glared at you.

"Gosh", you grumbled, "I'm terribly sorry, you must be in absolute despair right now. I wouldn't even know; it's not like I'm standing here being held hostage or whatever". Dabi groaned quietly, his eyes rolling upwards. The pizza dropped to the counter with a loud 'splat' as he let it slip between his fingers. Pressing your lips together, you looked away from the pizza slice and Dabi. In the momentary awkward silence you chose to sit back down quietly. As you took your seat back on the chair, he made his way to the fridge. "Why are you awake, anyway?", you asked quietly, an attempt at stifling your feelings of guilt.

You saw his eyes shortly glance over to you as he bent down to search through the fridge. He took a deep breath as he stood back up, drink in his hand, to look at you. "That doesn't concern you", he grumbled. You had to suppress a groan as you rolled your eyes. What an ass. You rested your head on your hand, your gaze landing on the slice of pizza.

"Now I've got nothing left to eat", you complained quietly as he took a seat across from you. You looked up at him when you felt his sharp gaze on you. "Yeah, me neither", he grumbled.

You coughed uncomfortably, avoiding his eyes once more. "Aren't you gonna go back to sleep?", you asked, trying to break the stiff tension. He scoffed, sending you a doubtful look. "You expect me to go to sleep after seeing that?".

"After . . . what?".

Dabi waved at you with the drink in his hand. "Meeting my sleep paralysis demon 2.0 in the middle of the night, stealing my food". You smiled weakly. "I would've apologised had you not kidnapped me", you mumbled, "this is like payback. Kinda". He raised an eyebrow in an almost mocking manner. "I'm filled with instant regret".
