Dabi [POV]

[Frick] I didn't mean to go that far.  I didn't mean for him to pass out.  I let go of him he slumped down against the wall bright red burn marks around his wrists and neck. [Frick].  I knelt down my heart pounding in my chest.  The burns were smoldering, still hot.  His eyes were closed his mouth slightly open,  He was breathing at least, at least now he was.  I picked him up carefully making sure not to touch the burns.  I sighed starting to walk back to the bar.  I would get scolded for this.  A few people casted curious glances at me as I walked by, either for my burns or the frail man in my arms also with burns on him.  No one approached though, no one said a word.  Just how it always was.  People stared but didn't say anything.  I walked to the bar carefully.  Kurogiri wasn't behind the bar like he usually was.  I thought I would be safe for now

"Where on earth were you?" He shouted warping in front of me.  [Frick].

"I said I went for a walk" I explained

"What happened to Tomura?" He asked angrily

"He passed out?" I raised one eyebrow like that was obvious trying to play it off

"Why did he pass out?" he crossed his arms in front of his chest

"Probably lack of oxygen" I managed to shrug even still holding him

"Did you do this?" he asked

"No of course not" I replied innocently

"Well for one he went and followed you and now he's covered with burns again and he's with you so do you expect me to not think that you did it this time?" He asked

"That's exactly what I want you to think" I told him

"Just, here I'll patch him up and we'll talk when he wakes up"  he held out his arms and I gave him Shigaraki just now realizing how light he was.

"Whatever" I walked down the hallway to my room my hands in my pockets shutting the door behind me.  I sat down on my bed.  Shigaraki didn't wake up for an hour, that hour turned into two, then three, then four.  Those four hours turned into the rest of the night.  I had finally fallen asleep when there was a knock at my door.

"Mmm what is it?" I groaned

"Can I come in?" Shigaraki asked

"Shouldn't you be resting?" I asked back

"No" He responded

"Aren't you scared of me?" I asked not even sitting up just laying face down on my bed

"No" he responded

"Well what do you want?  To scold me?" I asked

"No I just want to talk with you" He insisted

"Yeah well I don't want to talk" I snapped

"You can't mope around in your room forever we have to talk, might as well get it done now" he told me

"No" I told him firmly

"Kurogiri wants to talk with you as well" He explained

"Now he wants to talk to me, did you rat me out yet?" I asked knowing I was about to get yelled at but I didn't care

"No" His response caught me off guard

"Why I half choked you to death and I could do it again why won't you rat me out?" I asked

"Can I come in?" He asked repeating his first question

"Whatever" I muttered, I heard the door slowly creak open, I should have locked it.  Faint footsteps walked into the room.  I looked to the side, there were bandages around his neck his hair ratted falling in front of his face in a way so I couldn't see his expression.  There were bandages wrapped around both of his wrists.  He sat down at the foot of my bed

"Why didn't you rat me out?" I asked firmly

"Because I wanted to talk to you first, if you care so much about Kurogiri knowing give me a reason not to rat you out" He was acting like a child threatening to tell on me, like I cared.

"Go tell him see if I care I could easily do it again, I would stay away if I were you" I threatened

Shigaraki [POV]

My heart pounded in my chest, why was I feeling like this?  I was scared but not of him.  What did I want to say to him?  I had completely forgotten what I really came here for

"Well what do you want to talk about?" He sat up crossing his arms in front of his chest.  Getting a better look at him he looked awful, his face was covered in ashes and dirt coming from who knows where.  It looked like he didn't sleep at all last night

"did you get any sleep at all last night?" I asked

"That's none of your business, you wanted to talk to me about something" he raised an eyebrow

"You know what never mind" I started to get up, I heard him follow me.  He grabbed me by the shoulder again and my heart skipped a beat.  He pressed me against the wall again and I was afraid that what happened in the alleyway would repeat itself here.  But instead of pinning one hand to my throat he pinned each of my wrists to the wall one hand each.  His grip wasn't hard like it was before though it stung from the burns.  His face was inches away from mine and I could feel his hot breath on my face, I winced.
