Thinking about this again… need more art of Izuku with his hair being depicted with actual curls, because Izuku with actual curly hair is so cute! the boy deserves the curls he’s supposed to have!!^^
One of my favourite things when it came to finally getting volume 1&2 back in August, was finding out Izuku’s hair is actually (and supposed to be) canonically curly. And it has been my favourite detail about him since, I love it SO much <3
Literally the cutest and prettiest girl in the whole world… you deserved a much better life…..

level nine; drink away the pain
cw; mentions of alcohol and drug usage, drinking, partying, weed smoking, one very brief mention of throwing up, heavy angst, long ass chapter btw, word count; 2.9k exactly
“so touya is the boyfriend you never introduced me to back then, isn’t he?” you and keigo were on the balcony of your apartment, a third blunt being shared amongst you both, while waiting for everybody to show. kenzie had gone home to feed her cat, but said she’d come back for the mini party.
“yeah.” he takes a hit of the blunt, ashes it, and then he passes it to you while blowing the smoke out and forming rings with it.
“what happened?” you inhale deeply, letting the smoke warm your lungs as the haze begins to settle over your body.
“we dated for about two years, until around the time mom died.” keigo shrugs, while looking up to the sky and watching the stars.
“how did it end?” you’re watching him now, you catch how the fingers of his right hand run along the tattoo on his left wrist, the same tattoo you’ve wondered about for years.
oh. it’s from touya.
“i don’t know, he broke up with me in august a couple of weeks after mom’s funeral. all he said was that he couldn’t do it anymore.” by now you finished the blunt and you’re both looking at the stars. there’s a knock on the door and you both stand, walking back inside, his voice stops you before you go to open the door.
“i love him.”
“you mean you loved him, right?”
“no.” he disappears down the hall to his room.
that sentence stays in your head for the rest of the night.
himiko and ochako arrived together with more weed and a bottle of vodka. ochako also brought some sweets from her project with them. kenzie arrived five minutes later with more snacks and some wine. rumi arrived last, carrying some takeout bags and some tequila.
“ooh we are getting fucked up tonight.” rumi says as she eyes everything set out on the counter.
“yes the fuck we are.” you agree, everyone else in the room cheering along.
and thus, it begins. you all spend the next few hours smoking, eating, and drinking, except keigo who only smokes because he has work tomorrow. the clock reads 11:25pm, a little over an hour ago keigo had told the five of you about the history between him and dabi. and now you’re all just lounging around the living room. music comes from the speakers and a very confusing game of uno is being played.
“we should go to the club.” toga says from her spot on the floor. it’s offhanded, not meant to be taken seriously, but your drunk brain thinks it’s the most genius idea you’ve heard all day.
“let’s do it.” you get looks from the girls and keigo only sighs deeply once they begin cheering.
“Yes let’s fucking goo!” rumi cheers, the five of you stumble to your feet and begin rambling about where to go. keigo offers to drive you guys to the club and pick you up if necessary, but his words enter one ear, float around your brain, and exit the other.
it takes all of thirty minutes to decide on a club and get into the car somewhat comfortably, keigo drives to the club. dropping you off, he tells rumi (the most sober one) to call him when you’re ready to go home. you say your byes, keigo watching the five of you walk to the bouncer at the door before driving away.
how did i get here?
keigo thinks as he stands in front of a swingset in an abandoned park, the same one he and touya used to sneak away to back in high school. the same park he gave his everything to touya at, the same one where they said their first ‘i love yous’. the park they called their place.
the same park dabi broke his heart in.
So how did he get here?
he dropped his sister and their friends off at the club and then went for a drive. he must have ended up here subconsciously, it wouldn’t be the first time. keigo comes here every now and again, but he’s never been here at the same time as him.
standing there, looking as beautiful as the day he broke keigo, is touya, who is looking back at keigo as if he’d seen a ghost.
keigo has half a mind to turn around and leave, but his feet won’t move. planted firmly on the ground, he stays, eyes locked on dabi who also doesn’t move. they’re less than five feet from each other, there’s so much to say, but neither open their mouths to speak.
touya takes a step forward, arms reaching for him, and keigo breaks. rapidly shaking his head, the tears fall and a choked sob leaves him.
“no.” he tries to be firm, but his voice shakes.
“keigo, please.” dabi begs, taking another step forward.
keigo takes a step back, still shaking his head.
“no, i can’t. you can’t. kenzie, she, no.” he takes another step backwards.
“please, feather. i-i, please let me talk to you.” a step forward from touya, a step back from keigo. no matter how close they are, there will always be a distance.
“feather, please.” dabi stops moving, though he still continues to beg.
“no, flame. just stop, please?” keigo’s tone starts firm and bitter, before fading into a soft plea.
“i love you.” it’s not dabi saying it, but rather touya, that sixteen year old kid who tore keigo’s heart out of his chest and set fire to it.
“you can’t.” keigo says before turning and leaving, this time it’s touya that falls to his knees, a scream tearing from his throat as he sobs.
how did you get here?
you remember partying at home with the girls and keigo. himi suggested going to the club, and you remember keigo dropping you off. the club has been fun. you drank more, danced with the girls, drank again. you remember running into a friend of ocha’s and taking a picture, he then joined you guys for some shots and dancing before he slipped away to go smoke outside.
you remember taking pictures of himi and ocha, you took a picture with kenzie. you danced on top of a table. you remember a bathroom break where you threw up, rumi made you start drinking water after that. you remember himi saying bye, her friend spinner was there to take her and ocha home. you remember kenzie calling dabi, who didn’t answer, before saying she was going to uber home. that left you with rumi, but as you looked around the club, you couldn’t find her anywhere.
is that how you got here?
you’re leaning against the wall outside, phone in hand, with no sign of rumi still. with a sigh, you unlock your phone to call keigo, breath hitching when the screen opens to your discord, shigs name and most recent messages showing. you’re pressing the call button and putting the phone to your ear before you can think twice. you’re about to hang up when you hear the sound of the line connecting and a voice, deep and comforting, answers in a whisper.
“hey flowey.” his voice has tears welling up in your eyes.
“i miss you so fucking much shiggy.” it’s been almost two weeks since your last phone call with him. you’ve been busy working on your project with tomu, who you’ve gotten closer to in that time. and shigs, has been planning his grandmother’s funeral, which was earlier today.
“i know we’ve both been busy, but i miss our phone calls, our gaming sessions. i miss you.” you’re spilling out everything you’ve wanted to say to him, barely any control over your words as you just ramble.
“you don’t understand how much you actually mean to me, i-i’ve never seen your face but you’re an amazing person. you ground me and make me feel a peace in this fucked up world. i feel so disconnected from everything else when i’m spending time with you.” you choke out and can vaguely hear his breath hitching.
“i’m sorry.” is all he says.
“you don’t get it, do you?” you whisper brokenly.
“what?” the confusion is evident in his tone.
“i’m in love with you, b-but i think i’m also developing feelings for my project partner, his name is tomura. he’s shy and quiet, really nice though, i think you’d like him. he’s pretty cute, has this cute little mole on his chin and a scar over his lips.” you pause to take a breath.
“am i a bad person, shigs?” you’re both silent after the words leave your lips, the only sound is both of your soft breathing.
“no, flowey you aren’t.” he whispers.
“i feel like it. i’m in love with you, but i like tomu. that doesn’t seem fair to either of you.” you slide down the wall and sit on the floor.
“flowey-” he starts.
“it’s so cold, shigs, and i can’t find my friend either. i should call my brother to come get me.” you cut him off and sigh.
you hear somebody call your name, for some reason it echoes through the phone but you’re too drunk to realize. looking up, you see tomu about fifteen feet away, making his way to you.
“oh, tomu’s here.” you mumble into the phone. “shigs i-” he cuts you off.
“i’m sorry for everything.” he mutters and you’re left confused, why is he sorry?
“shiggy, what?” you’re still looking at tomu before checking your phone to make sure shigs hasn’t hung up, he hasn’t. bringing the phone back to your ear, you call his name again.
“i love you flowey, more than you know, and i’m sorry for what i’m about to do.” he hangs up before you can say anything. a tear falls down your cheek just as tomu kneels in front of you.
“you okay?” tomu’s voice is soft, it brings you a moment of peace before your eyes make contact with his and you cry.
“take me home tomu?” his heart breaks a second time at the pain in your voice.
how did he get here?
tomura wasn’t sure how he’d gotten here, or rather, he wasn’t sure why he was here. he knew how he got here, and he knew what happened prior to getting here. dabi came home with shoto, who promptly passed out in his brother’s room. the two of them then went up to the roof for a smoke sesh, a much needed smoke sesh. touya rolled some blunts, splitting them with shigs, and the two sat there smoking in silence.
“y/n said she met you today.” shigs spoke up, dabi hummed.
“yeah, she’s nice. pretty too, just your type man.” touya tells him.
“crazy part is, she’s keigo’s little sister. saw him today too at their place.” dabi snorted, though there wasn’t anything funny about what happened.
“no shit, high school keigo?” tomura took a long hit of his blunt, touya nodded.
“damn man, no wonder you’re all depressed on twitter. seeing him must have fucked you up.” touya sighed heavily at that.
“yeah, it did.” the pair goes back to being silent, sharing another blunt before dabi speaks again.
“i followed her on twitter, you wanna see her?” tomura would deny the way he blushed after touya’s question.
“yeah.” touya pulls his phone out, opening it up to your twitter profile and letting shigs scroll through.
“say you’re fucking lying.” tomura grumbles and dabi’s face portrays his shock.
“what?” touya takes another hit and side eyes his friend.
“dude, this is my project partner.” touya snorts as the words leave tomura’s mouth before it quickly dissolves into a coughing fit. he coughs for a minute or so, while shigs continue scrolling through your profile.
“no fucking way bro, how the fuck did you not recognize her voice? i get why she wouldn’t recognize yours, because of the modulator and you’re quiet in your tomura persona, but how did you not rocognize hers?” touya finally manages to say after his coughing fit dies down, shigs shrugs.
“she speaks differently too, it’s more, i don’t know, preppy i guess? kind of like she’s putting on this facade, a personality she thinks people will like.” tomura explains, dabi nods with a hum.
it’s quiet again, shigs hands touya back his phone right as the timeline refreshes. a post from toga appears, it’s a photo of you. the lighting is green and you’re dancing on a table, looking so ethereal, that his breath hitches.
“they’re at a club?” tomura’s voice comes out lower than before and dabi nods as he grabs his phone.
“yeah they got there like an hour ago, the one in hosu, by the shitty bar with the red sign outside. spinner is going to get himi and ocha after he finishes inventory at the shop. and kenzie is supposed to call me when she’s ready for me to get her.” he takes a last hit of the blunt between his fingers, while shigs goes quiet.
“i’m gonna go for a drive.” tomura says after a minute of silence.
“yeah, me too.” touya agreed.
so maybe that’s why he was here, to see you?
because right now, he’s sitting in his car parked across the street from the club you’re at. and he can see you from where he’s at, you’re leaning against the wall, phone in hand, wearing a dress that looks amazing on you, and it makes his heart race.
he’s lost in his thoughts, fingers drumming against the steering wheel when his phone goes off with the discord voice call sound. he knows without even looking that it’s you. his eyes land on your figure and sure enough, there you stand with the phone against your ear. you look like you’re about to hang up and he answers the call before he can stop himself.
“hey flowey.” he can see the sad look on your face and assumes you have tears gathering in your eyes.
“i miss you so fucking much shiggy.” he can feel his heart break as he hears the pain in your voice.
god, he wishes he wasn’t such a dick to you today. it had been such a long day, he was exhausted emotionally and didn’t want to burden you. clearly, that didn’t matter since here you were, drinking the pain away and still thinking of him. and there’s nothing he can do except sit there and listen as you cry to him over the phone.
he listens as you ramble, telling him how much you miss him and how much he means to you.
“i’m sorry.” it’s the only thing his fucked up brain can think to tell you in this shitty situation.
“you don’t get it, do you?” your voice, normally so happy and full of love when talking to him, now sounds distant and broken, it leaves him with an awful feeling of guilt in his chest.
he voices his confusion and immediately regrets it, because then he has to sit there and listen as you tell him about how much you love him but how you’re gaining feelings for somebody else. who just so happens to also be him, unbeknownst to you of course. he listens as you talk about him as tomu, and frowns at the next words that leave your lips.
“am i a bad person, shigs?” he stays quiet at that, the sound of your breathing mixes in with his.
“no, flowey you aren’t.” he whispers trying to reassure you. he doesn’t even notice that he’s out of the car walking towards you.
“i feel like it. i’m in love with you, but i like tomu. that doesn’t seem fair to either of you.” he hears you say over the phone, as he watches your body slide down the wall to the floor.
“flowey-” he doesn’t know what to say but it doesn’t matter when you cut him off, saying it’s cold and mentioning calling your brother.
he calls your name aloud as tomu and as you look up to see him walking towards you, he hopes you didn’t hear it over the phone. he sees the surprise in your eyes as you confirm it’s him, even saying it to him over the phone and he has to resist the urge to laugh.
you go to say something, but he cuts you off with an apology. he listens silently as you voice your confusion, watches as you check your phone to make sure he hasn't hung up yet, and then when you return the phone to your ear and call his name, he finally answers.
“i love you flowey, more than you know, and i’m sorry for what i’m about to do.” he hangs up before you can say anything, and watches as a tear falls down your cheek, before he takes the last few steps and kneels down in front of you as tomu.
“you okay?” he makes sure his voice is in the soft tone of tomu that you’re used to, he can see the short moment of peace it brings you before your eyes meet his and you begin to cry.
“take me home tomu?” and he feels his heart break once again at the pain in your voice and the look of devastation on your face.

masterlist / chance meetings / keigo lore
main menu;
level six; chance meetings
cw; multiple descriptors of anxiety in different tones, mentions of child abuse, i believe that’s all, bit of a longer written part, no texts post or tweets this chapter
on your couch sat kenzie with her boyfriend, touya, and his younger brother shoto. they got here fifteen minutes ago, but touya wanted to wait to meet your brother. something about wanting to make sure he could leave shoto around him. which was fine, keigo would be home soon. in the meantime, touya has given you and kenzie the rundown of shoto. he’s a quiet kid mostly, very polite, likes to play games, and flinches at loud noises. you recognize the behavior of an abused child immediately, your heart aches as you see yourself in shoto.
a lump forms in your throat as a memory surfaces, you have to excuse yourself to the restroom to splash cold water on your face before you begin crying. you can hear the lock turning as you walk back to the living room, keigo stepping through the door right as you round the corner. he sees the look on your face and is in immediate protective big brother mood. he barely has an arm around your shoulder when his gaze lands on the three sitting on the couch. his body tenses up and the name slips from his throat before he has time to process what he’s seeing.
“dabi?” there’s a confused and broken tone to keigo’s voice as he watches touya sit on the couch like he’s meant to be there.
“oh hey man, haven’t seen you since graduation. i didn’t know you lived here.” touya’s voice is casual, like it isn’t a big deal that he’s sitting on his ex’s couch with his arm slung around the shoulders of one of his younger sister’s best friends.
“uh yeah, i-i’m sorry. i-” keigo can feel his throat closing up and his hands are shaking, the door to his bedroom is being shut and locked before anybody has the chance to say anything. you look between touya and where keigo just stood, before setting your gaze back on touya.
“you know my brother? and why did he call you dabi?” you’re confused, keigo’s never mentioned knowing touya and you don’t recognize him from anywhere.
“uh yeah, i knew him in high school. i had white hair back then. i started going by dabi in senior year. i answer to either one but i usually stick to going by touya when i’m with kenzie.” touya’s words are directed at you but his eyes are trained on the hallway that keigo disappeared down.
“right.” the room is silent after you speak, there’s a look on touya’s face that you can’t quite read and it makes you anxious.
“do you mind if i go talk to him?” touya stands and makes his way to where you stand, ready to walk down the hall to keigo. something in his voice makes you want to say yes, but you know keigo’s panic attacks, you've seen them before and know that if touya went to talk to him, then keigo would spiral.
“i’m sorry, i don’t think that’s a good idea right now.” you move slightly to the right blocking his path, his eyes flicker to you. and since he’s a good few inches taller than you, he could easily move past you, the look in your eyes and tone in your voice stops him.
“right, some other time then.” he says, stepping away from you as you nod.
“another time.” you walk with him back to the couch, waiting until he sits down before sitting in the single chair on the side.
“so, i won’t pry about what you’re doing but do you not have anybody else to watch shoto?” you tilt your head glancing between touya and kenzie who is sitting silently. “kenz, you alright?”
her eyes are trained on the ground, her left foot tapping softly against the floor in a rhythm you recognize as one she does when anxious. you’re pulling her off the couch and into the kitchen in seconds, placing a bottle of water on the counter, you grab her hands in yours.
“kenzie, breathe.” you breathe in and motion for her to copy you, she takes a shaky inhale, both of you holding it for five seconds before releasing. you repeat the process a few more times until she’s breathing regularly and can focus her gaze on you.
“you okay now?” you watch as she drinks the water before nodding.
“yeah, thank you. i don’t really know what happened there, i was fine one minute, then the next i wasn’t.” she explains and you nod.
“yeah, i understand. i guess we’re all a little on edge today. i mean we’re babysitting your boyfriend's brother after all, so maybe it’s just nerves.” she nods again and you both smile softly.
“alright, let’s go back to the living room.” you both return to your previous seats and touya wraps his arm around kenzie, pulling her into his side and nudging her head with the tip of his nose.
“originally one of my roommates was supposed to watch him. but, spinner had to work and shigaraki had a family matter.” your head snaps to touya so quickly that you feel it crack.
“wait, shigaraki? like the gamer shigaraki?” the words spill out jumbled together, you’re surprised he understood you.
“yeah, do you know him?” he tilts his head at you.
“touya, the game died.” shoto speaks up from where he sits, nintendo in hand with a black screen.
“shit, really?” touya sighs, “i don’t have a charger for it.” as he finishes speaking, you go to your room, searching for something before returning with a charger.
“here, he can use mine.” you hand the charger to shoto, who plugs in the device and returns to being silent after thanking you, you nod with a smile and sit back down.
“i know shigs, we gamer together a lot. i always try to get him to put our minecraft beds together.” you snort out a laugh, kenzie and touya both chuckle in turn.
“ahh, so you’re y/n? he talks about you a lot.” he speaks casually, your face heats up with a blush and you give a shy laugh.
“so that would make you dabi then, i don’t know why i didn’t put it together earlier when you said you also go by that. it’s nice to finally meet you.” you smile at him and he nods.
“wait, kenzie you’ve met shigs and didn’t tell me?” your tone is teasing and she pouts playfully.
“i’m sorry boo, i didn’t know, honest.” you both laugh at that.
from there the conversation flows easily and you talk a bit more about what shoto is like, with the boy in question adding in answers here and there, before touya eventually leaves a few minutes later and says he’ll be back in a couple hours.
keigo eventually comes back out of his room to sit on the couch and explain what happened, though he doesn’t give much more than a single sentence.
“touya is my ex-boyfriend from high school.”

synopsis; in your dreams, he is yours. in your nightmares, he isn’t. and in this life? who knows. (dabi/touya todoroki x fem!reader)
cw; talks of nightmares, slight angst, allusions to character death, minor portrayals of anxiety, suspicious behavior, one mention of endeavor, happy ending, quirkless reader (this is sort of a part two to in another life, can be read as a stand alone), dabi calls reader wisp (like a wisp of a flame).
wc; 1.4k
a/n; an apology to @chaoslibra and @rueclfer for breaking their hearts with the previous touya angst. credits to my fiancé @feralshenanigans, for the nickname dabi calls reader and she made the instagram post at the end.
as always, enjoy the story but don’t use, copy, or steal my writings.
the gaps in the blinds allow the sunlight to filter in, spreading across the otherwise dark room. your eyelids feel heavier than usual as you blink the sleep away, one hand moves across the bed, reaching for the familiar warmth of another body. there’s nobody there but the bed is still warm.
“miss me already?” his tone is teasing as you sit up and glance to the doorway. touya leans against the side, he’s shirtless with his arms crossed over his chest and his sweats riding low on his hips.
his face turns serious as he notices the tear tracks on your cheeks and makes his way to the bed.
“another nightmare?” he’s pulling your body into him while you nod and wrap yourself around him, he hums while rubbing your back.
“what was it this time?”
“you died after your birthday before i got to see you again and confess properly.”
“oh you mean when i’m awake to say it back.” his tone is back to teasing as he tries to lighten the mood by reminding you of the first time you confessed.
you laugh, shaking your head while shoving him away, he chuckles deeply while swiping away a stray tear.
“you promised you wouldn’t bring that up again.” you scold and he just laughs louder.
“oh c’mon baby you know i’m just teasing. gotta make sure my girl isn’t sad on this very special day.” the smile he wears brightens your mood instantly, though you’re left confused on what today is.
“special day? it’s only monday we don’t have plans do we?” you rack your brain, searching for answers. it’s not anyone’s birthday, not an anniversary or anything else. dabi senses your confusion and smiles brightly.
“it’s a surprise, we’re going to meet yumi and mom for breakfast first and then you three are going to have a girls day while i run some errands.” he explains before standing up and helping you off the bed.
“you get the bathroom all to yourself today since i already showered.” it’s only then that you notice his white hair is damp as it clings to his skin.
you smile and make your way to the restroom to start your day.
a while later you’re sitting at a table with rei, touya, and fuyumi. you’ve just finished breakfast and are discussing today’s plans.
“i have errands to run but you guys can have a spa day as long as y/n’s back before our dinner reservations.” dabi explains as fuyumi and rei smile brightly.
“did i miss a chapter? since when did we have dinner reservations?” you speak up, first breakfast and now this? you’re starting to get suspicious.
“don’t worry wisp, it’s a surprise.” touya’s fingers tighten around your thigh where they rest, he gives you a teasing smirk.
“yeah you’ve been saying that a lot,” you grumble and he only hums in response, winking at his mom and sister.
the four of you say your goodbyes and go your separate directions, fuyumi leading you to her car where you sit in the back and text keigo while she drives to the mall.
if anybody would know what was happening and tell you, it’d be him.
aside from calming your growing nerves about your boyfriend’s suspicious behavior, keigo offered no help.
it’s been a few hours since the girls' day began, you’ve gotten your nails done, shopped at a few different stores and had a light lunch.
fuyumi checks her phone far more than usual and coincidentally dabi will text you right after she pockets her phone.
it’s nearing five o’clock now and fuyumi is driving towards the apartment you share with touya.
“alright be honest with me, what does he have planned?” your voice comes out whiner than you wanted it to and you wince at the way it sounds.
“sweetheart everything is fine, just take a deep breath in and relax. he just wants to treat you to dinner.” rei’s soft motherly voice flits through the car and into your ears.
your shoulders sag as you breathe deeply, you don’t mean to be anxious, it’s just that your nerves are on edge from this morning's nightmare and truthfully you’re scared you’ll have to say goodbye.
when he was in the facility, you had dreams of another life with him, a different one where he never got hurt and life wasn’t cruel to him. a life quite like the one you’re living now, only without the monster that is touya’s father.
but ever since three years ago, you’ve had nightmares of dabi passing away in his sleep, just like he almost had that night. now you can’t shake the feeling that this might all be a dream.
one you’ll wake up from crying and in bed alone.
“are you okay? y/n?” the call of your name from fuyumi’s voice pulls you from your thoughts.
the cars been parked and both women are looking at you softly. you can feel the lone tear that began falling from your lash line.
“i’m fine, i think.” your voice betrays you as it cracks and you’re faced with two soft sympathetic smiles.
“he’s a strong man honey, he got better and he made it out. he’s here, alive and with us. it’s okay now,” rei reaches a hand out to grab yours, squeezing it tightly she meets your gaze.
you give a firm nod and squeeze her hand in return.
“you’re right, he’s strong.”
you continue reminding yourself of that fact all throughout your dinner with dabi as he fidgets nervously in his seat.
he’s strong.
you think as you watch a bead of sweat drip down his forehead and roll off the side of his face.
he’s strong.
his hand is on your thigh as he drives to an unknown destination. the windows down and a song playing on the radio.
he’s strong.
he took you to a park, the cherry blossoms in bloom as the night sky twinkled brightly with millions of burning stars.
he’s strong.
he keeps your body close, one hand warming your waist as he holds you. the other holds a box in his pocket, as he leads you down a barely lit path.
he’s strong.
he leads you to a secluded section, fairy lights decorate the nearby trees. the garden gazebo is decorated with strings that hold photos of the both of you throughout your lives together.
he’s strong.
your breath catches in your throat as you turn to see him on one knee, box in hand held open to face you.
he’s strong.
his hands shake as his palms grow clammy, the nerves making him sweat. and for once, his body runs cold as his eyes meet yours.
he’s strong.
“will you marry me or what?” his voice shakes as he tries to calm himself down, his usual gruffness nowhere to be found as you smile brightly at him.
he’s strong.
a flash of light pulls your eyes away momentarily to see your friends and family hiding in the bushes, keigo looks sheepish as touya glares at him.
he’s strong.
“yes.” he sighs as relief floods his entire body, before he chuckles deeply.
he’s strong.
his lips meet yours in a passionate kiss as he slips the ring onto your finger. a happy sob leaves you as your body melts into his, and he smiles.
he’s strong.
after years of dreaming of another life, one where dabi could be yours, and after years of nightmares where he never was.
and in this life?
your eyes flutter open and you smile as you feel dabi’s hair tickling the back of your neck.
“hmm morning.” your voice is cheery as he groans, the vibrations running down your arm when he places a kiss on your shoulder.
“what’s got you so cheerful this morning?” his voice is deep and groggy with sleep as he moves to hover over you, his cerulean eyes shining brightly.
“oh nothing, just a dream i had.” you smile and scrunch your nose when he kisses it, he hums.
“was it a good one?” he kisses both your cheeks and you laugh lightly.
“yeah, yeah it was.” he smiles at that and places a kiss on your forehead.
“what was it?” he holds himself above you now, legs tangled with yours and chests inches away from touching.
“just a dream.” he shakes his head with a sigh.
“fine then keep your secrets.” your giggle is cut off as he finally kisses you. lips molding together in a moment of tenderness and serenity.
“i love you wisp.”
“i love you touya.”
sometimes dreams really do come true,
because in this life,
touya,
he’s finally yours.
This turned into a head cannon so I could flush out the s/o a bit, but I honestly want to do more with it 😍 might be a part 2 or a short story that comes with this. Thanks for the request! The grammar and spelling might be off, I didn’t have a chance to go over it but will do so later once I get a moment. Didn’t want to leave you waiting any longer than you already had!
-To an outside observer Mirio and his s/o may seem like an odd couple. His energetic and boisterous personality would be too much of a contrast to her soft spoken and calm demeanor for them to be able to work.
- Mirio had first been drawn to her due to her quirk. Her hair was full of flora of all colors, shapes and sizes and Mirio had though it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The light fragrance that surrounded her due to the floral was also a plus in his opinion. It was a soft fragrance that reminded him of the flower shop near his home right after it rained. He hadn’t realized he would become so addicted to the scent as time went on.
- He had kind of been intimidated by her at first. She was able to find a way to make her seemingly only astethic quirk useful in hero training, something he had still been working on with his own quirk. That added to the intensity and confidence she carried herself with gave him pause, if only for a moment.
- He had quickly became enraptured by the way she seemed to only speak in poetry or prose, he swore he could listen to her flowery words for hours and never grow tired of it.
- “You’re a dedicated worker, Mirio, and the virtuous will always be rewarded. Have no fear for the future, your path will lead you in the right direction when you are needed.”
- Early on in his time at U.A., Mirio would often find himself comparing his ability and progress to others. He often felt as if he would make one step forward but only to take three steps back. Constantly seeing his classmates get so far ahead of him frustrated him to no end. Her soft words often brought him comfort during these times. She encouraged him to focus on his own progress and to keep a clear mind free of the envy and bitterness he often felt when the topic of quirks came up. She soom became a steady pillar of support for him along with Tamaki and Nejire.
-“ Look at where you are now from where you started. You’ve progressed in leaps and bounds in ways many others are not able to because they lack your motivation and drive. Continue as you are and your calling will find you.”
- Her belief in his ability and her affirmations always made his chest swell with pride and affection for her.
- She had a belief in the inherit goodness of others that Mirio also found charming. While others may have thought her to be naive, he was inspired by it. In classes she had focused on learning about the rehabilitation of villains - something many students studying to be heroes never bothered with.
-“Just because someone lost their way doesn’t mean they should be abandoned entirely”
- She was a bright light in a world where it was so easy for people to be apathetic and Mirio couldn’t help but gravitate towards her more and more as time went by.
-Early into their second year Mirio decided he never wanted to be without the warm feelings she always gave him. He loved how he could always get a soft smile or lilting laugh from her when he was up to his usual antics. He was nearly obsessed with the way her eyes would shine when she became passionate about her faith and beliefs. She had also started teaching him the language of flowers recently which had him formulating an idea.
- over the course of the past month he had been asking about flowers that stood for love or passion, admittedly he should’ve been a little more subtle but subtly wasn’t exactly in his nature
-after deciding on the right flowers and stopping by the flower shop near his home she reminded him so much of, he made his way to school with a bouquet ready to confess
- he found her in the crowded halls easily due to her quirk and boldly proclaimed his affections regaurdless of who was around to hear.
- he was rambling, he knew this, but everything just kept tumbling out. He couldn’t stop going on about how he loved when she gave him her soft smiles, how he always adored the small jokes she would make that nobody else really understood, or how he felt like he really could save a million people as long as he had her support.
- her calm demeanor was unwavering during his speech but he saw the light color her skin had taken, how her eyes became so full of life he felt like he was getting lost in them, and the slight scent of fresh lavender that was slowly overtaking his senses.
- “I was hoping you would confess, if you had taken much longer I would be the one telling you how much I adore you.”
-“ Well, it wouldn’t really hurt if you did it now, right?”
I like to imagine that after the war, Uraraka somehow learns about Himiko's love of Pomegranates and slowly starts to incorporate them into her diet. Anytime she misses Himiko, she goes out and buys a pomegranate. It helps her feel closer to her.
You should go listen to my TogaChako Playlist I've worked very hard on it
