[ maybe having keigo back will bring more smiles to dabi's face again. it almost feels unnatural now, but not so much when it comes to his former lover. he was the only one who could ever pull a real smile from him, that wasn't sarcastic or sinister.

the fact that keigo is here now, telling him that he's home, that he's here and won't go anywhere... it's something dabi has been longing to hear. even through his anger and all the pain, this is what he had wished for. he was so stubborn about it before, but he doesn't want to be anymore. he just wants to keep holding keigo like this all the time. ]

You're home.

[dabi repeats quietly, his face pressed back into keigo's side as the other man hugs his head. this feels like home now. that heavy, disgusting weight that's been wrapped around his heart seems to unravel a bit and he can breathe. he doesn't want to die.]

You're the prettiest one here. Think that name still belongs to ya too. You'll always be my pretty bird.
