Only Exception

Something stupid

"I-Is he dead?" Toga asked quietly, stuttering a little bit as she stares at her leader on the ground.

"He's not dead Himiko" Dabi tried to reassure despite sounding like he couldn't give a shit "He's just unconscious"

"Then poke him!"

"Fuck no"

"Because you also think he's dead!"

"Because thats stupid" Dabi replied while still staring at the unconscious band leader. "Why the fuck would I poke someone who looked like chugged over 35 Monster Energy drinks?"

"To ensure he's not dead!"

"Yeah and he's not dead"

"So if you think he's not dead why don't you go and confirm it?!"

"Why won't you do it? Isn't this sort of your thing?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Do I look like the type to want to deal with a dead body?"

"Yes" all the guys said collectively, Toga pouted "Thats insulting" she said, crossing her arms before looking away.

"Okay, who's poking him?" Dabi glanced at his bandmates, Mr. Compress was silent, twiddling his fingers in hesitation. Twice crossed his arms and also looked away "The author killed him, won't be next".

"Are you fucking kidding me-" Dabi stopped speaking when Spinner walked past him, knelt down, checked his pulse and gave a thumbs up.

"Well at least we won't be dealing with a corpse" Mr. Compress sighed, feeling relieved.

"The author didn't kill him?"

"Jin, what in the world are you even talking about?" Mr. Compress glanced at Twice who didn't answer the question "He better not be a replacement".

"So, what now?" Dabi asked, grabbing his coffee cup back "Do we just, let him sleep?"

"Well...it does seem he hasn't had any sleep" Mr. Compress pointed out.

"Gee, thanks Captain Obvious!" Dabi rolled his eyes

"What I mean is" he glared at Dabi before continuing "It's not right to bother him when he's sacrificed his sleeping time to come up with...whatever is on the board"

"So do we just..leave him there?" Toga asked with a tone of concern on her voice

"Well do you want to stay possibly 24 hours with him just sleeping on the ground?" Dabi looked at the drummer

"We can't just leave him!"

"I'll stay" Spinner broke silence, making everyone turn their heads back at the non official band member and the unconscious leader.
"Got nothing better to do"

"At least call Kurogiri to pick you guys up" Mr. Compress said before quickly reaching for his phone "Actually, let me just-"

"It's fine" Spinner insisted "Go, pretty sure you guys got important crap to do".

"Well, I don't think it's wise to- hey! Dabi!"

"Come on" Dabi began to drag the keyboardist out of the room holding onto his hand as the keyboardist struggled to be let go of.
