Dabi's p.o.v

"You piece of shit look what you've done to Shoto!"

"Drastic measures have to be taken Touya, surely you will understand once you become a hero"

"Cut the bullshit, I am not going to become a hero, and don't call me that filthy name"

"I didn't work my ass off for your recommendations just for you to throw a bitch fit, you will fulfill my wish"

"Yeah, because you want me to become what you couldn't?"

My father, Enji, was always ambitious, in the worst way possible. That meant tossing away anything that could stop him or distract him, the man was a machine, no feelings whatsoever. He wanted to become a hero, but due to his horrible personality and cruel attitude, he never made it. It just so happens that I, his son, possess greater power than he does, but I don't care about it. He abused and tortured the shit out of me just so I could become a puppet. That is why being in UA doesn't affect me in the slightest, I don't care for my training and I don't plan to anytime soon.

The memory replays in my head over and over as I lay in my bed, doing absolutely nothing. I think about the party Hawks had mentioned, and it sounded intriguing. I can't believe how fucking rude I was to him, probably hurt his feelings too. I just didn't wanna let these thoughts weigh on me, so I decided to go to the pool party. I don't know if texting Hawks is a good idea to begin with, he officially hates me.

I throw on a pair of navy blue trunks and a muscle shirt on me, leaving my scars exposed. I wasn't the most comfortable with my body, but it's not like I can go back in time and redo it. My eyes stare at my hair in front of my mirror, wondering how the fuck I was going to be in a pool without my hair going white. I simply just shrug it off and leave my dorm room.

Time flies and I'm now in the pool area, where I recognize the rest of my classmates, who seem happy about my pressence. I survive the night with small talks with them since I didn't have any kind of solid relationship with them, with the exception of Hawks, who I couldn't seem to find. I did all kinds of drinking games that were in the book, and before I could realize it, the line between tipsy and drunk began to get blurry for me.

I am now walking wobbly with a drink in my hand, constantly giggling and laughing with my peers, my mouth spouting words that I wasn't even aware of. Maybe it was the desperate need to get distracted, or I just needed to feel some sort of thrill in this lackluster life of mine, but I was feeling fucking great. My vision is now looking foggy and I trip on a can and my eyes were closing shut ready for the impact I was about to receive from the floor.

Instead, I landed on somebody's hard chest. I looked up and found Hawks holding me with his wings, or at least I think he looked like Hawks. "What am I gonna do with you blue boy?" I hear his voice and I'm immediately sure it was him. I giggle as I fix myself and he released me from his grasp. "You~you're fashionably late, bird brain~" I hear myself tell him and he just grins at me. He places a hand on my forehead and gasps. "You're cold as shit Dabi, here let me help you" the blonde boy spoke to me as he guided us to the bathroom.

I remember him placing me on the toilet seat and he kneels down so I could see him. I could feel my eyes rolling back as my head continues to spin. His warm hands cupped my face and I focused solely on him. "For fuck sakes Dabi.. you're scaring me, are you okay? You look like you're about to pass out" I hear him say but noises become faint to me. I simply laugh at him and poke his nose, "you cutie, always so worried about me, why don't you just kiss me already?". His cheeks turn bright red at the comment and I just keep laughing, unaware of what I was doing. "I'm going to get you some water, stay there," He says and gets up to leave. But my hands move automatically to tug on his shirt.

"Please don't go, you're the only good thing in my life right now"
