Only Exception

Won't say I'm in love part 1

"As I said yesterday, I don't want another dumb rumor to come" he stated "Besides, I had things to do"

"Oh yeah? Like what?"  Toga raised an eyebrow, Twice quickly joined and with a teasing tone he added "You had a hot date?".

"..."

Both Twice and Toga processed the silence that the singer was giving, no word, no emotion besides his eyes widening a little and his jaw clenching a little.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" They both yelled in shock, making the singer cover his ears and glare at them. Toga grinned widely, tugging her phone back into her pocket, grabbing onto Dabi's shoulders and shaking him.

"You went on a date?!"

"It was just lunch!"

"Just lunch?!" She gasped, she quickly looked at Twice who had his hands on his face "Did you hear this?! He says it's "just lunch"!!"

"Oh no he didn't! It's obviously more than that! DABI YOU HOE! WHO IS THIS MAN?!"

"It was just lunch!" The singer repeated, though it was useless. Toga stopped shaking him and her her eyes widened and gasped again.

"Wait! So he was the one messaging you the day we had that interview?!" She continued "You have a boyfriend and didn't tell me?!"

"He's not my boyfriend!!"

"AH HA!! SO YOU ADMIT OF THE EXISTENCE OF ANOTHER?! YOU'RE A HOE CONFIRMED!"

"TELL US WHO THIS MYSTERY MAN IS"

"I already told you-"

BZZT!

There was silence, Dabi's eyes slowly widening in horror as both Toga and Twice's faces form into grins. He quickly pushes the drummer off of him and  runs.

"GET HIM!"

Dabi ran as fast as he could, the sound of his boots thudding against the polished floors. Evading the elegant objects that ran down the halls with both the drummer and guitarist chasing after him.

"Come back here!" The drummer shouted, running right behind the singer.

"Yeah, Casanova! Give us a name! I won't stop until you drop dead!" Twice added.

The singer runs into the backstage area, dodging the placed sound equipment that already came with the building. He cursed under his breath, the one time where he didn't want his male hero friend to text him! It had to be now! At the worst possible time!

Then, hands grab onto his wrists, holding him tightly. The singer groaned in frustration, "You're both insane!" He shouted.

"And you're in love!" Toga cheered, feeling a mix of excitement and intrigue to know just who in the hell is Dabi's secret love.

"That's bullshit, Himiko!" He argued back, writhing against Twice "If one of you even attempt to reach for my phone I swear-"

"What? You'll burn us?" Toga smirked, "You wouldn't!"

"You'd never hurt your family, dude! Run Himiko! He'll burn us alive!" Twice shouted as he tightened his grip, making Dabi further his attempts to free himself.

"Hehe! My best friend! My brother! In love!" The drummer said aloud as she was walking towards them, her golden eyes wide, a blush on her face along with a grin that showed her teeth.

"I wonder what he's like? Is he handsome? Kind? A goth?" Her eyes landed on his pockets "Only one way to find out!" She suddenly lunged at the singer, her hands out like claws, a grin still present on her face. Dabi just looked at the drummer in wide eyed shock, the feeling of his hands heating up, he knew he shouldn't. He wouldn't dare, yet his hands felt the flicker of tiny flames ready to burst.

Suddenly, the drummer disappeared, and he felt the grip on his wrists completely loosen. The sound of marbles hit the floor, the singer stood there dumbfounded because what the actual fuckity fuck just happened?

"I leave you all for five minutes and I come back to see this.." was heard, the singer quickly turned to look at the keyboard player walking to collect the marbles.

"How did you-"

"Are you okay?" The keyboardist asked, a hint of concern was laced in his voice. The singer shut up and nodded, a hand going to his pocket, gripping the phone.

"Okay, come on, Kurogiri is taking us to lunch" he put a hand on the singer's shoulder. Guiding him out, "You aren't gonna leave them in those marbles of yours all day, are you?"

"Dabi, I'm not a monster!" The keyboardist sounded offended "But, whatever it was, what they were doing was completely inappropriate and not becoming of musicians! If they're going to act like children they might as well be punished accordingly"

"You sound like Kurogiri"

"...I guess I do"

They walked in silence, Mr. Compress quickly guided him out of the building, ignoring the chatter between band members and their adoptive father, he took his phone out to see what the hero had messaged him. It was a selfie of himself and a bunch of detained thugs, he had a smug grin about it and about the dumbest thing he could've written to him. And yet... it made the aloof singer smile at the sight of the hero.

Guys I'm so sorry to end the chapter like this! I'm on midterms and I'm STRESSED. Still wanted to at least post this before Christmas. I gotta finish everything in the span of this week, wanna know why? Apparently the last day of university is on CHRISTMAS EVE! WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!
