[ dabi can't sleep. he cleans, he cooks and he waits. eventually when he's been up for too long he nods off. when he wakes, he gets up quickly and looks around, runs out of the house to look around there too.
he very nearly throws up when he doesn't see keigo anywhere. he knows he told keigo to take the time he needs so things go the way he needs them to go, but keigo could have also not been able to do it, and he'll never know.
it makes him sick to think keigo might just not show up and he'll never know what happened.
he sits in the sand and watches the waves, and wills keigo's sweatshirt back on himself. he can still smell the remnants of his former lover on it. he almost lets himself fall into a deep, destructive sadness again, but it's not fair. not yet. he'll give keigo the time he needs and just have faith in him.
the next day he sits and waits some more until he thinks it might kill him and then he takes a nap on the couch again just to waste some time. when he wakes up he can tell that keigo still isn't around. so he starts again, cleaning up some more, willing a few more things in the house that he thinks keigo might like.
and then he just stands there looking around again, at a loss for what to do. eventually he just heads to the kitchen to warm up the food he had made the night before. it's then that he hears the door open and keigo's voice floating through the empty house. dabi drops what he's doing and runs out of the kitchen to see keigo standing there looking like a damn angel bathed in light. ]

Keigo... You're here. You're really here?
