[it hurts. it hurts all over. why does dabi keep doing this to him? why the hell does he feel so strongly for this aggravating fool?]

I didn’t want to throw us away. I never wanted to separate from you, but you-

[he cuts himself off, looking away to blink his tears back. his breath comes out shaky and to calm himself down, he drags his hands through his hair.

everything used to make sense when he was with dabi. now it’s upside down and he’s left feeling so cold and lonely.]

I would tell you everything. I would do it without hesitation. But, god Dabi, I can’t sit and just take this abuse over and over. I didn’t betray you with a smile or maliciously. I fucking loved you, even now I still do.

[keigo closes his eyes, rubbing his hands to his face to wipe away the falling tears.]

I’ll tell him. I..I know something he wants.

[giving a little final rub of his eyes, keigo steps away. he can’t force himself to look back at dabi. keigo is so terrified about going back. he has to pull away for the two of them. it was never going to be simple. they were both very complicated, and very broken.]
