[ it's a complicated thing. dabi does want keigo here, but he also knows he needs space and that everything is so desperate and needy right now in this moment, in the moments leading up to this... but they need to work some things out.

he can feel the way keigo clings tighter to him though, and how he forces out that fake smile he dislikes so much. ]

I think... I want ya here but we need to have our own spaces, ya know? We gotta figure some shit out, Kei. We fucked it all up before.

[but he knows he wants keigo in his life... death... watever this is. he knows he doesn't want to lose him, or to have him with anyone else. that much he knows for certain.

he's glad when the smile turns genuine, and when keigo pulls away he gives a sort of sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his neck as he heads into the kitchen with him.]

Made some noodles with fried chicken bits. And some veggies cause I know how ya always try to skip those.
