Author’s Note: This story is based off the theory that Dabi is apart of the Todoroki family.
There is a softening sickness to his voice. It’s too gruff, too sore, too sad, too tired, too terrible to be his. His feet shift against the floor in the way you know he hates and that should really be the first warning sign but it isn’t. You hear his stifled whines and groans, you already know.
You’ve never seen Dabi cry before. It’s always smirks and quirks of eyebrows which is all he really is. It’s always him. But now it’s not and it really shouldn’t hurt you as much as it does but you know him better than you know yourself. You really should just leave, close up and run away but there is a deep seeded sadness in his weeps as you hear his voice crack.
He probably doesn’t even know your awake. He is walking between the corridors of the base but he is there all the same. It’s not your problem. It was never your problem and while he trusts you more than he cares to admit he would never show you his tears. His weak side is his and your villains for christ sake. You are supposed to be cruel and terrible and devilish but hearing him cry brings back the feelings you had left behind. It’s not your problem.
