A few days later,
Nighttime,
League of Villains' Hideout,
Dabi's room...

Midoriya's POV

It had been more than two weeks since I was kidnapped by League of Villains. I kept waiting and waiting and still, the heroes hadn't come to save me.

I'm scared...

Lately, the villains had been gathering downstairs more often than before. And all villaind except Dabi also had been going out of the base more frequently. Maybe they were plotting their next evil scheme. They didn't even let me to go outside and Dabi had been guarding me all the time.

I was refrained from doing mission since I wasn't fully heal yet and I had been staying in the base all day everyday with Dabi watching over and guarding me. He even brought the food into the room since I couldn't leave his room, even a step. I felt like I was in a prison.

If only Dabi wasn't here...perharps I could escape from them.

Probably, I could defeat him since he was alone and then ran away as fast as I could but something prevented me from doing so...

My heart...

My heart kept telling me to stay here at any cost.

Why though? Why did I choose to stay?

"Oi, Izuku. Stop daydreaming." I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw a purple hand waving at my face. I gasped in surprise and accidentally shoved Dabi back forcefully, causing him to stumble back. "Ouch..." He hissed in pain.

I quickly got up and walked to Dabi in hurry. "S-Sorry." I apologized and helped him stood on his feet again. "W-Why are you here?" I asked him even though it was obvious why he was here. "Are you losing some screws in your head? Like usual, I'm here to deliver your food." Dabi sighed long. He was only in his white shirt and dark blue pants.

I looked down, thinking about what we should talk about. I didn't know why but I felt me and Dabi...had became more distanct from each other and it actually made me felt sad.

Dabi suddenly took of his shirt, revealing his muscular body. Pink shades tinted on my face. I quickly turned away to avoid staring at his well-built body.

W-Why did I feel nervous whenever he took off his shirt? I-I mean, I already saw him shirtless b-b-before.

My heart wouldn't stop beating fast so I gripped my shirt, trying to calm myself down.

I suddenly felt arms snaking around my waists, placing the hands on my stomach and then pulled me into a warm hug. I started to sweat in nervousness. "D-Dabi...?" I called him out since I couldn't move my body. A hot breath brushed my left ear, sending shivers down to my spine.

I swore I felt Dabi sniffing on me while his hands roamed on my curves. My face became redder when he did that. My breathings began to become ragged as I felt the atmosphere tensed up.

D-Dabi, why did he do this out of nowhere?

Okay, I knew that our relationship had strained a bit and we both became distant with each other. We... hadn't talk much. Only greeting each other and then everything became quiet since Dabi had been hanging out downstairs more often that before. He didn't sleep on the same bed with me anymore and let me have all the bed to myself alone while he slept on the floor.

But why did he suddenly...? It had been awhile since he touched me and acted like this toward me...

"D-Dabi." I moaned his name lightly. Dabi suddenly pulled my chin to make my face facing him. He slowly locked his lips with mine, catching me off guard. "N-Ngh..." I tried to reject his kiss but Dabi forcefully shoved his tongue into my mouth. I slowly accepted his kiss.

After a few minutes, we both broke apart to exhale some air. Dabi turned my body facing him and he gazed into my viridian orbs deeply yet gently. He slowly pushed me to the bed and laid me gently but still a bit rough.

"Dabi, why are you...?" I asked him in confusion. My heart beat faster and faster as his beautiful glimmering navy blue iris pierced into my big emerald orbs. Dabi suddenly fell on me with his face buried in my chest. He sighed in exhaustion.

My face flushed red as I felt his spiky raven hair tickling me. "D-Dabi." I said his name between silent laughter. "I'm tired... I wanna sleep..." Dabi muttered tiredly.

He is completly worn out...
Maybe because he had been working a lot lately.

"Izuku..." Dabi muttered sleepily. His words snapped me back into reality, making my face flushed bright red.

I gently pushed him to my left side, earning an irritated groan from Dabi as a protest. Dabi stared at me silently. He got closer to me and placed his hand on my waists.

Honestly said, I keep wondering what's actually our relationship. He was so kind toward me... But not as friend, more than that...

But what is it?

Our relationship... Is confusing...

I just don't understand...

"I'm sorry..." Dabi suddenly apologized. I stared at him confusedly.

Dabi's POV

How I miss her warmth...
Sleeping together with her like this...
Touching her smooth skin, merging my lips with her soft, sweet lips.

Ever since Izuku had woken up from her mini coma, Handsman had been trying to awaken that 'thing' inside her. I was very scared. If he managed to awake that monster...

I was really anxious and I had been on my guard all the time. I didn't sleep at all every night to protect Izuku. That bastard was willing to do anything to achieve his objective.

And yeah, these past few days, all villains had been gathering downstairs to plan for our next move. If they were going to leave the base for a while, I told Handsman to stay in the base instead, saying that someone should guarded the base and he foolishly accepted my excuse.

I stared at Izuku with eyes full of love. I really missed this greenette. "I'm sorry..." I muttered in guilt. Izuku stared at me confusedly. "Why are you apologizing?" Izuku asked me innocently.

I felt guilty for leaving her alone. Since I have been very cautious and on heavy guard lately, Izuku and I had became more distant...

And today... I want to be with her, so badly...

"Sorry for leaving you alone..." I confessed as I stroked her dark green curly hair gently. Izuku's shining jade eyes widened a bit. "I get it. But can you tell me something...?" Izuku requested with a small smile tugged on her soft lips. I smiled and nodded slowly, accepting her request. I waited for her question but she seemed hesitated to talk. She opened her mouth a few times but no word came out.

"What... Are you guys plotting...? It might have something to do with me, right?" She asked determinedly while gazing into my eyes with serious eyes. I was a bit surprised by her question.

Dang it, she is so observant...

I bit my bottom lips in dilemma. I didn't want to tell her since she surely would be panic but at the same time, I didn't wanna lie to her.

I sat up myself on the bed. My face darkened in anxiety as I clutched the bed sheet, thinking of an answer. "D-Dabi...?" Izuku sat up too while staring at me in concerm mixed with fear. "Izuku..." I called out her name in husky voice. I turned to look at her with concern expression.

"I can't say if this has something to do with you or not... But I can only say right now, no matter what Handsman says, don't ever follow his order." I told her in seriousness. Izuku gasped in worry as I finished uttering those words.

"W-What do you mean?" She asked in nervousness. Sweats dripped out, perharps caused by her fear and anxiety. She clutched my shirt sleeves tightly in desperation as crystal tears formed in her eyes.

I'm sorry Izuku... I can't tell you... I don't want to scare you...

I didn't answer her. Instead, I shortened the gaps between our face until our foreheads touched. "Sorry, I can't asnwer that but..." I gazed into her eyes gently.

"I promise... I will definitely protect you at any cost..." I said in determination to calm her down.

I will protect you by any means...

Even if I have to betray them...
