Nighttime,
At the park...

Todoroki's POV

"Wait, Dabi." I call him out when a rush of realization hit me. Dabi raises an eyebrow, staring at me confusedly. "Why did you suddenly want to give me this actually?" I ask him, pointing my finger to this priceless present he gives to me.

Why did he give me this pendant? Not to mention, it looks very expensive...

Dabi shrugs his shoulders. "Nothing special. I just feel like giving a gift to you, that's all." Dabi says bluntly with no concrete reason AT ALL.

Tch. And here I hope he gives me this necklace because of something special.

Hmm...? Why am I hoping like that?

"Oh..." I reply unenthusiastically, averting my eyes from his stare, irritation clouds my feature. For some reason, his stupid excuse really piss me off. I roll my eyes, annoy with this man in front of me.

Dabi notices my change of mood. "Hey, are you okay?" He asks me softly. I cross my arms in my chest, showing my rebellion. "Come on, Princess. Have I done something wrong to you?" Dabi asks again but this time he sounds more desperated.

"You say you gave me this because you just feel like doing it. Meaning that you didn't give this to me because of special reason, right?" I state, pouting as well.

Why am I feeling like this...? I was hoping for Dabi, someone who I only properly met one week ago, who I can't stop thinking about, and constantly appears in my dream, and someone who fills my mind 24 hours, and the one that I always utter his name at night before go to sleep, to treat me as special.

Okay, what's gotten into you, Shoto? I feel like I'm going crazy.

A sigh leaves Dabi's scrapped purple lips. "Is that what you were pouting about, Shoto?" Dabi chuckles at me, displaying his warm smile.

"Of course I am. It means that I'm not special enough for you to care so much." I tell Dabi frankly but then my face flushes red as I realize what I just SAID MYSELF.

Dabi raises an eyebrow, a mischievous smirk plasters on his face. "Well,well. What's wrong, Princess? Coud it be you have special space for me in your heart?" Dabi whispers into my ear flirtiously, his hot breath brushing my earlobe, causing my cheek to heat up.

I look down, my locks cover my dual-colored orbs creating a foreshadow around them. "You are special... I think..." I murmur lowly, very low that I think only myself hear it.

"Hm? What did you say?" Dabi asks me, determines to know what I'm saying. I clutch my hoodie in embarrassment, realizing those shameful words I just mutter. My heart starts beating faster as if it will explode any second now.

Gosh, what's wrong with me today actually?! I keep saying nonsense thing!!!

"U-Um, I need to return to the dorm now. Goodbye." I excuse myself. I need to calm my heart down. Dang it, this man really mess up my daily life. I'm about to walk away from Dabi when he suddenly grips my wrist gently yet firmly, signing me to stay here.

"Wait... It's still early. What are you rushing for?" Dabi says sadly, hoping me to stay here longer. His voice tone make me feel guilty, putting me in dilemma. "I-I..." I don't have any excuse to give to him to get myself out of this situation.

"Please, Shoto. Stay here.... Just a bit longer..." Dabi begs desperately, his hands slowly grip my shoulders. His touch sends shivers down to my spines, my heart pounds much faster.

Dabi looks into my eyes deeply. For some reason, I can sense loneliness filling his aquamarine orbs. It is like he is missing or losing something. Something very important to him.

"Dabi..." I mutter his name. Dabi suddenly pulls me into a tight hug, his hands resting on my hips. "Shoto, please stay with me..." He pleads, his head leaning on my shoulder. I sigh as I patted his back gently

"I got it. I will stay here for a while since you insist..." I exclaim and Dabi quickly lets me go. A happy smile cracks on his handsome feature.

Dabi then holds my hand, leading me to the bench that we usually sit on ever since our first meeting.

Is this really my first time meeting him? I'm sure I have seen him before.

We both sit on the wooden bench. Dabi sits closer to me which to me is strange. There is still many space and why does he want to cramp himself?

Well, I'm not mad or anything.

"Hey, Shoto..." Dabi starts the conversation. I hum in response, waiting for him to speak up again. "Is there any boy you like in your class?" Dabi asks awkwardly, clearly bothers with his own question.

I stay quiet, thinking of an answer. "I'm not sure if I like him or not... But I realize that I had always watch him in secret..." I mutter, looking up the sky, thinking about Midoriya.

"I sometime take some pictures of him in secret, and make his picture as my phone wallpaper." I tell Dabi and he gasps in surprise. "What?" I ask him irritatedly, disliking his reaction just now. "What are you, a stalker?" Dabi says, his face full of suspicion.

"I'm not a stalker, idiot." I deny Dabi in a bit fierce tone. I hate it when people call me 'stalker'. Dabi chuckles at me, amuses to see me getting irritated I think. "Jeez, you are so mean, you know." I say, slightly sulking.

"Hey, hey. I'm just joking around, 'kay?" Dabi tries to persuade me but I ignore him. I hear Dabi let out a heavy sigh. "Okay, okay. It's my fault, I admit. So would you stop sulking now? Please~" Dabi begs, showing me his cutest puppy eyes.

My heart skips a bit when he does that. I smile victoriously at him. "Okay, I'll stop sulking but... With one condition." I demand and Dabi nods without hesitation.

I slowly stand up, looking up the sky. "Start from tomorrown... I want you to train me." I say as I turn to look at Dabi, a smile tugs on my luscious lips.

Okay... What am I suggesting?! Training with him...?! With a villain?!

There is definitely something wrong with me today!

But I think it isn't a bad idea though...

Please someone help me... I don't know why am I suggesting something ridiculous like this!
