(A couple of weeks later)

The singer sat in the corner of his room, all alone and with pieces of crumpled paper around him. He sighed, letting his head fall back against the wall. He stared at the current lyrics written on the sheet.

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you
Let me inside
Let me get close to you
Change your mind
I'll get lost if you want me to

He groaned, both annoyed and frustrated at the words. He gripped the notebook, making the paper crumple a little and tossed it across his room.
"What's wrong with me?" He thought to himself "Why can't I just write the damn song?"

He was supposed to be writing a song for the concert, something new that would introduce the audience to a new era for The Awakening. Not this, sentimental lovey dovey shit he's writing!

He needed to write this song, something to end the concert with a bang! To introduce the fans to a new era! He's a singer for god sakes!

"I'm good at writing songs! What the hell is going on?! I've always been able to write about my feelings, the things wrong with society, and-"

Dabi looked back at the tossed notebook, the thing still open with the lyrics he's written, wide open and exposed. There was something wrong with him, like his insides were twisting and tightening up to something strange, something foreign.

His grip tightened around the pen, looking away from the notebook, he was supposed to be writing about his feelings, his hatred for society! Yet all he feels is a strange tightening, mushy feeling inside, making him write this crap.

"What are you doing?"

The sound of Shoto's voice made Dabi jump, pulling him out of his thoughts "Shoto-" he paused, he can't seem unusual "Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

"School ended early" he replied, looking around at the crumpled papers, then to the notebook lying across the room"And I thought I heard something" his brother added, eyeing the notebook before picking it up.

"Shoto" Dabi quickly got up "Put that down, it's just trash"

"Doesn't look like trash" he read the lyrics, avoiding Dabi's attempts at snatching the notebook, making Dabi grow irritated. Shoto's gaze stayed the same as he read the lyrics over and over, he turned to Dabi, still looking so stoic.

"You're writing about him, aren't you?"
Dabi froze, he's never mentioned about the hero to anyone, not even his little brother. Where the hell did he get this information?

"Himiko texted me a couple of weeks ago about you having a boyfriend..." he explained as he looked back at the notebook.
"Didn't think it was true"

"Since when did you start listening to half of the nonsense Himiko is spouting about?"

"Since you have started to act all weird lately"

"Hey, I haven't been acting "weird" as you say"

"Sure you haven't" the tone of Shoto's voice sounded the same with a hint of sarcasm.

"Shoto I do not approve of this attitude of yours-"
