4; Ghost

I landed on the balcony of MY apartment, I noticed the door was open and not even a second later Mirko burst out on to the balcony with a worried expression on her face.

"Where the fuck have you been? I was so worried!" She exclaimed nearly crushing the air out of me when she hugged me, "Jeez calm down woman!" I exclaimed as I carefully pushed her off me, "I was with the League." i simply said, which earned me a stern look. 

"It was your week off you should of been relaxing." Mirko pushed me inside the house and closed the door behind me. Then turned to me with her hands on her hips. She looked like a mother scolding her kids for coming home too late. She had hair platinum white hair which was usually hanging down to her back tight up in a messy bun held together with silver chopsticks. Her ear were standing up straight like she was on high alert or something.

"I relaxed Ru, don't worry." I answered and i pushed my hair back.

"Wait is that a hickey?" Mirko said as she glanced down at my throat, near my colarbone. My body was moving before i could even fully register what she had said. My hand shot up to cover my it. I had already expected that it would have left a mark but maybe i should have said that he was not allowed to leave marks. 

"Did you really get laid by one of the League of Villains?" Mirko asked jokingly, i didn't protest it was true and i wasn't the one to lie.  She gasped, "No! You did not!" Mirko hit my shoulder hard, "You stupid chicken! You're not supposed to do that!"

"I'm sorry! It just happened,it's just a one time thing!" I said, though I wasn't so sure of that, "Besides he isn't that bad once you get to know him." I murmered. Her eyes widened a little, "Please tell me you didn't do it with ther crusty-ass leader." She rubbed her face and slightly smudged her eyeliner. 

"Ugh gross! I'd never, i have at least some standards," I shuddered before turning my head and murmuring in my hand, "It was with Dabi, that fire dude covered in scars."

"And you call that standards?" Mirko said.

"Yes! At least he's handsome and clean!"

"And covered in creepy scars!" Mirko protested. "They're not creepy!"

 "How did he got them anyway? The scars aren't make up right?" She then asked and I shook my head, "I touched the scars, they felt real." I replied softly,

"You're nasty person."
"You asked!" i grumbled back. I finally sat down on the couch, tired and sore from the trip back.

"You won't tell Endeavor right?" i asked her. I didn't think he'd be happy if he knew i slept with one of the villains, he was already giving me shit about liking guys. He should have known he once was on my list of celebrities I would like to kiss. I grimaced at the thought. 

"Of course, I won't tell hm." Mirko said and i leaned my head back and let a sigh escape my lips.
"Can you still do it? The job i mean?" She asked. 
I shrugged, she didn't push the question any further. I can still do the job i think, a sexual out let didn't immediately mean i was emotionally attached to any of them. 

"Wanna go out and get wasted?" Mirko asked after a while and i shook my head,
"I wanna sleep for a while, didn't do it much last night." She raised an eyebrow but got up anyway, "Come here you big goofball."  She reached for my hand and pulled me up to my feet. She wrapped her arms around my neck as i slid my arms around her waist. I hid my face in her shoulder, "I'll see you later okay Keigo? Take care."

She pulled back only slightly as she cupped my face and kissed my forehead. She had to stand on her toes to do that. "Thanks Rumi." She stepped away from me and i let my hands slide from her waist. She said another good bye and then left.

I had just plopped face first on my bed when the doorbell rang, "Christ," i cursed and i got up again to open the door, cursing all the way there under my breath.
I opened the door and it revealed Dabi, 

"Yo," He said and he pushed past me inside not even waiting for me to invite him in, it sparked a bit of my annoyance. "For fuck's sake- what do you want?" i said as i rubbed my face.
"Oh? Is someone moody?" he asked cockily crossing his arms and looked at me. I closed the door behind me and put my hands on my hips

"My best friend was just here and asked me about this," I said savagely while I pulled the colar of my shirt aside to show him the marks.

"Well I hope you said it's normal for a 24 year old to get laid once in a while." Dabi said as he leaned against the wall of the hallway. 
I huffed out a breath, it wasn't what i told her as she knew about the truth that i was infiltrating on the League but i went with that, "I'd rather not lie to my close friends."

He looked at me, "What were you up to?"

"I was about to go to sleep, why?" I asked skeptically raising an eyebrow at him.
"How about a little work out before you do?" He said as he got closer and pushed me up against the wall his knee between my legs pressing just slightly which made me want to moan. 

Instead I scoffed, "You want to go again? Haven't you had enough last night?"

"No, I haven't gotten enough," He whispered in my ear and a shiver went down my spine. He smirked at me, "But you're already enjoying this aren't you Keigo?"
I grabbed his shirt in a fist and pulled him in a kiss to avoid answering the question.

He ran his hands down towards my waist and he slipped one to cup my ass while the other warm hand rest against my thigh. I felt him smirk against my lips before he pushed my leg up around his waist, pressing our hips together even closer. I bit his bottom lip to get him to stop smirking and i earned a small, groan. The hand on my ass slipped down to the back of thigh too, hinting for me to wrap both of my legs around his waist. I jumped up swiftly and he pressed my back harder against the wall to keep me from falling. I wrapped my arms around his neck. This position created a new friction between our hips and Dabi moved his only a bit to get me to moan. I knew he was enjoying this too, his hard on was pressing against mine through our clothes. 

He finally pulled away from the kiss which had left me breathless and my lips stung, i winced a little. 

"Shall we go to the bedroom?" he asked his voice even deeper than usual.  "Yeah." I breathed out. I untangled one of my legs slowly but with a firm hand Dabi pushed it back around his waist again. Instead of letting me walk he carried me to the bedroom digging his nails slightly in my thigh, "You don't have to carry--" i yelped when he dropped me on the bed following me down. 

"You were saying?" he teased as he hang above me, I rolled my eyes and i grabbed his neck with one handand pulled him down in another stinging kiss. I  searched for the bottom of his shirt with the other pulled it up slowly, he broke the kiss and i helped him take it off. This time he didn't go back to kissing me immediately instead he shifted so he straddled one my legs . It gave me time to admire his bare chest. Dabi went still at that and watched me trace my fingers over the purple burnscars on his neck and i followed it down to his left shoulder it stopped slightly above his nipple. The burn scars weren't the only scars that were left on his body. I noticed and i stalled for a bit above a thin, long, white scars on his abdomen, they were almost invisible with how pale he was which was probablby why i hadn't noticed them the night before.

Dabi sighed as he noticed the look in my eyes. "For fuck's sake," he whispered under his breath annoyed, almost angry, he got off me. "You turned me off." he said as he reached for his shirt again. I grabbed his wrist, with more force then intented. "Don't," I pushed him on his back in one swift move and straddled his waist. I leaned forward and held his neck and tapped at his burn scar.

 "How did ya get those burn scars."

"My quirk." Dabi said and he turned his head to the side avoidingmy eyes. "How?"
I put my fingers softly against the scars underneath his eyes rubbing it as i was wiping tears away, then trailed them down to the ones that covered half of his face, my finger brushed against his bottom lip. 

"When i was finally done with my old life, i ran away from my family, my friends, from everything i knew. And once i did, i lost all the control i had over it," he said, he had closed his eyes, letting me touch the scars. I traced my fingers down his neck once again and then to his shoulder, my fingers light on his skin. This was a totally different kind of intimacy then we've had the night before. Last night had been sex, just plain out wanting and needing to feel the other, right now it was Dabi opening up in a way that I had never seen him before, Dabi trusting me to touch him like this, vulnerable parts of him. I felt him shudder under my touch and I couldn't help but feel guilty about the entire situation of me needing to betray him one day. 

"It- no more like I- burned for ages and I even thought i might die at some point." He frowned his eyes still closed but the furrow between his eyebrows gave away it was something he clearly hated remembering this, "I didn't die as you can see." He sounded sad, disappointed even. I rubbed slow circles in his right, and unmarked,  shoulder. The other hand trailed down his arm.

"I had screamed and yelled for it stop, I had only just turned 17 at that time and i had always felt like i was invunerable, you know like every kid with a powerful quirk feels like." He sighed deeply and finally opened his eyes. They shone brightly and it was clearly that he was so, so sad. 

"It was also the first time i actually realized that heroes weren't always there to save you." he scoffed and i stopped my movement for a second, not even hiding how I flinched. 
"I had been in so much pain yet no one came to save me." his voice started to sound more raspy the longer he spoke, i frowned down at him as i slowly retreated my hands.

"I would have saved you if i knew," i whispered, looking down at him sadly. He went still at that.
"I was actually training to be a hero before i left them, you know?" This earned him a surprised look from me, what school did he go to? We would have been in the same year wouldn't we? 

"My horrible father always had high hopes for his children and wanted to build them into strong heroes. My youngest brother is still training to become one, while my other brother and sister, he had dedicated them to weak, they became something else. I've also decided to do  something else," Dabi said, he reached for my arm and grabbed my wrist holding it tightly, not tightly enough to hard. 

"Something he hated," He said  "A villain." I finished for him. 

"Do you think he would hate you? Your father I mean?" I asked, of course i knew he would, if his father was so on for pressing his kids to be the strongest hero than he would have hated for them to be something else.

 "Oh yeah definitely, he even tried to kill me once, though i dont think he even recognised me." 

"The scars you see on my abdomen, are his fault by the way," Dabi said simply, not even flinching about what he had just revealed. I did flinch and it made my skin crawl. He reached up and pushed a strand of hair out of my face. 

 "Why did you have to ruin such a good moment by touching my scars and looking at me as if i am weak?" Dabi then whispered. 

"I wasn't looking at you like you're weak, i was just wandering where they came from," I didn't dare to say more, I'd never wanted to make him feel weak, he clearly wasn't.

"Good because I'm not," He said and he pulled me down for a quick but fierce kiss.

"Your turn, I shared something now it's your turn." Dabi said as he sat up and pushed me off him and he lit a cigarette with a blue flame. I sat on my knees at his face as he smoked. 

"What do you wanna know?" I asked 
"Tell me about that that old best friend of yours." Dabi said casually waving his cigarette in hand. I frowned.
"That one the picture in the hallway i mean." he explained.

"I know whom you meant," I bit back, maybe a little to harsh. Then i continued more calmly, "Well god, where to begin," I took a breath to think of where to start with the story.

"I met him once we both started, at twelve, a private middle- and high school that focused on becoming a hero, for like kid prodigies and stuff." 

"Since the first day that i met him, i was fascinated by him. Not because of his father, but because of the look of determination in his eyes." I smiled at the memory,

"First time i tried to talk to him, he ignored me, but that night when we were finally allowed to go back to our dorms i found out we were roommates. He was a bit reluctant at first but we hab been friends ever since."I sighed,
"He was good at what he did, he did the excercises with such an ease and was so good at hand to hand combat, he beat me more than once- but that's also because my quirk allows me better to fight ranged."

"He just had a sort of powerful aura around him, and that without even using his quirk much. Throughout the years i realised i liked him, though i never had the chance to tell him." I blinked rapidly feeling the tears stinging in my eyes, i looked away from Dabi, who had been quietly listening to me. I  didn't know if i could tell more about him without breaking down. 

"What would he do if he saw you now?" Dabi asked. 

"He would definitely beat my ass because of the mess I'm in." I chuckled slightly trying to imagine how Touya would react if he saw me in bed together with a villain, "Me trying to uphold my hero status while working with you guys and all that, but i think he might have been proud for what i have accomplished." I answered him, I had been the youngest Top pro hero ever that was a pretty big accomplishment. I closed my eyes for a second trying to gather my thoughts, when i opened them i was met with Dabu's gaze.

"I wish he would have written me a note so i would have known why he suddenly left. I had thought nothing would ever take him away from me, but it did." I let myself fall back on to the bed staring at the ceiling.
"I probably would have begged him to stay." I continued on, Dabi leaned over me slowly, "You're such a sap." he said, i rolled my eyes but smiled a little. '

"Well it's true. When i finally find him though, he'll never get rid if me again, I'll haunt him forever." I said resting my arms on my stomach. 

Dabi scoffed, "Forever's a long time." he stated before he got up from the bed and pulled on his shirt, "Wait where are you going?" i asked as i quickly sat up. "I've got some work to do for the League, I'll be gone for a few days." 

"Wait what? What are you gonna do?" i asked suddenly in a bit of stress, was he gonna leave me?

 "I can't tell you." He said and before he left the room he kissed my cheek. I heard the front door shut.

Maybe now i did want to get a drink.
