[keigo follows dabi's movement when the other male sits up. he comes to sit facing dabi, keeping his hands to himself even though he desperately wanted to take that hand back with his.

and quietly, keigo listens. it immediately pulls at his heart as dabi begins to describe the trauma. the violence and abuse. he thinks about a small dabi, a little touya, trying his hardest to please his father. a small memory fades into existence regarding his own childhood, but keigo quickly brushes it away.

he doesn't realize he had drifted his gaze down to his own lap when the old memory comes to mind. however, as dabi continues, the abuse that became worst, scared, sad eyes trained right back on his former lover's face.

so it's true.

and that makes keigo feel bile wanting to rise. he swallows it down, fingernails digging into the palms of his hands. there's anger and despair that swell in his chest.

again, it hits close to home hearing that rei knew of the torture. and again, keigo quickly tries not to think about his own mother. he returns to focus on dabi, as more and more of this makes sense to what he knew thus far. it makes his heart hurt to hear that last bit to it, and keigo quickly and immediately shakes his head, snapping a hand forward to rest on dabi's ankle and squeeze gently.]


It's not your fault. None of what he's done is your fault.

[keigo's voice cracks, his breath shaky and uneven. he's trying to keep himself together. he needed to tell dabi everything on his part too, if they're being honest together.]

He...he told me. Told me..all the time..that he would have you...through me. I'll do anything to keep him from touching you ever again. That's what I told him that night.

[desperately, he tries to keep the building tears at bay. keigo is terrified of that man, and terrified what he would do if he got his hands back on dabi. swallowing, keigo tries to keep his nerves at bay.]

The night we...wed..he said he finally got a piece of Touya's property. After that..he...

[the vomit wants to rise again, and keigo covers his mouth, fixing his eyes to glare at the bed covers. it takes a few deep, heavy breaths to calm his disgust.]

I had to call him..d-..daddy...sometimes he'd call me Touya...called me his pretty boy or wife..A lot of times, if I fought...he ordered me to scream Dabi and beg for you to save me.

[his voice breaks at the last few words. he never wanted to revisit this recent trauma, but keigo refused to hide anymore from dabi. and maybe that's what keeps him just a little steady, keeps the nausea down. there were so many times he begged for death in the last month, having determined that dabi was dead, so he wanted to be so too. they're both thankfully alive and able to live out without worldly boundaries, but that heavy fear is there for the both of them.]

...he needs to die. Before he tries to come here.

[coming to admit everything in detail hurts, makes it so impossible to breathe. he wants to completely forget his torture, to soothe dabi through his. he wants to pick up these broken pieces of their lives and fix it all.

keigo finds himself shaking his head, unsure how endeavor ever discovered the relationship between him and dabi. he’s not sure how his handlers knew of it either. there’s someone who definitely had watched them, even though keigo generally kept an eye out for nosy voyeurs.

it was more than watching them once or twice too. both the hero commission and endeavor knew to exploit dabi to get keigo to kneel.

they had to have even known keigo would run away if dabi had agreed to it. why else would they have made that deal to the former hero before?

keigo snaps from his thoughts quickly to see dabi bury his head and tug at his own hair. it’s the angry words that still him though, with the darker parts of his mind that agree immediately with the other male.

you deserved it. you created this. it’s all your fault.

he tries to argue with himself, that he didn’t know or understand the extent of what endeavor was capable of, that he trusted his own handlers to keep their promise about not killing dabi or harming his mother. but his inner thoughts don’t let up, shattering his resolve to fix what he broke.

he was useless.

the hand that previously held dabi’s ankle releases, laying limp at his side.]


...You’re right.

[he says it softly.]

I can’t go back in time and stop myself. But I can hold off Endeavor right now until an opportunity arises to end him.

[keigo is spiraling down himself, so quick to give into the inner demons that nag him constantly in reality. they weren't wrong though. he had betrayed dabi, had lost the one and only person he ever fell in love with. had lost his wings. and his betrayal lead to the torturous life he lives now.

it's sanctuary here, within this simulated reality. to get to live again. to touch and feel what he lost. it wasn't reality. but it had everything keigo could ever want.

only good for one thing now.

that's right. he can do that much while they worked together on a plan. but endeavor has to know he's aware that dabi was alive now. if he returns that evening, the man would know that he knew. endeavor would expect him to react.

keigo can't even meet dabi's gaze, body and mind already preparing for the inevitable hot and heavy hands and filthy words. he's terrified again, tries to desperately recall the soft gestures from earlier-

you don't deserve that.]


We don't..have a lot of choices.

[his voice cracks. when he realizes his eyes are wet again, keigo finally moves his limp hand to try and rub his eyes dry.]

...I'm only good for one thing now.

[keigo initially flinches when dabi first shouts. they have such limited choices though. the clock was ticking, and, oh, keigo wanted to just kill himself in reality and be back here again. but endeavor would follow them, no doubt. this was his retirement plan.

and without death, the madman would continue to torture dabi and himself.

golden eyes finally do snap up when the former villain scrambles off the bed. it's hard to not be terrified here, scared of losing dabi now because he's completely worthless himself. his golden eyes show the fear there, and he grips the bed covers, not even sure how to answer as he watches dabi spiral out of control.

before he can try to even think though, the other male is out the door in a rush.

he's running away from you again.

he quickly follows though, not sure what else to do. he's run away before, gave dabi his space, but the cycle only continues. in the kitchen, he sees his former lover with a bottle and knife, and he's not sure why both, but he doesn't spend much thought processing it. he reacts on instinct instead, grabbing dabi by the upper arm to turn and shove the other male against the kitchen counter. one hand immediately wraps around the blade of the knife, holding it tightly, while he uses his other to take dabi's wrist to the hand that holds the bottle.]


D...don't.

[he breathes out heavy, shoulders trembling. he's never been scared of dabi before, but right then, he was. both of, and for. it didn't matter that immortality was the key component of this world. keigo couldn't bare to witness pain, torture, or death of any sort.]

Please.

[being this close to dabi should come with some form of consent, but keigo had to stop the other male before he hurt himself or the prior hero. he's not sure what dabi is trying to do either. and he's scared of not knowing too.

he tries to steady his breath while listening to the broken words. it crushes his heart to hear them, to hear the tears that form. he can feel the hands slumping too, but it's not enough.]


Let them go.

[he says quietly, terrified eyes trying to plead with the other male.

honestly, he's a bit lost of what to do or say to help dabi. keigo isn't sure how to fix this. it's like he's keeping dabi from leaping over a cliff while his own inner demons demand he jump off himself.

the only thing he knows for certain is that he has to keep endeavor away from dabi, no matter what. he's the one alive here. and dabi is so broken. unless they have a plan, he'll need to try every trick and ploy to keep them separated. as terrifying as that was. but he has to protect dabi.

he won't bring it up anymore, though. he'll stop voicing endeavor all together, like dabi needs. keigo doesn't want to break the other male further.]

[keigo can't see into dabi's mind. he can't understand or know what is ticking. what does he say? what does he do? he knows he needs to get those things out of dabi's hands first though. one step at a time, he tells himself.

finally, dabi not only releases them, but also crumbles down, and keigo quickly holds onto his former lover. he drops both the knife and bottle in the process, where the bottle breaks on the floor. but, a quick look down, and he sees no mess. both items are back on the kitchen counter.

without needing to worry about them, keigo focuses on dabi, breathing out in relief as he hears his name.]


I'm here, Dabi.

[he responds back, rubbing soft circles over the other male's back.]

I'm right here.

[suddenly, it's like the breath is stolen right out of him as dabi tightens his arms around him. instinctively, he grips hard to the former villain's shirt, terrified to let go now. he doesn't know how much time they have left, and he doesn't want to leave this.

the ledge he was teetering so close to feels like a mile away by just being in these arms. dabi is saving him again. constantly.

and if those warm arms wrapped around him aren't enough to remind the former hero, those words certainly do.

keigo finds himself gasping, clinging even tighter as he processes them. he can feel dabi's tears seeping into his shirt at his shoulder. he doesn't even really focus so much on that but rather the possessive words he hasn't heard in a long time.]


S..say it again. Please.

[he might be asking too much, but keigo needed to hear it again. he knows it's greedy. he just...he needs it to keep him away from that ledge.]
birdhasfallen: (pic#14680789)

[personal profile] birdhasfallen 2021-03-09 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[keigo hiccups hearing those words again. to be wanted once more. he desperately holds these words close to his heart and mind, pushes back the inner demons to be locked back up all over again.

immediately, he buries his face into dabi's shoulder, breath coming out shaky as he tries to will away all the pent up terror and anxiety since their initial conversation had begun.]


All yours. Only yours.

[keigo agrees immediately. he's sure he'll end up ripping dabi's shirt if he doesn't calm himself down, but he doesn't want to let go of this moment. he doesn't want to let go of dabi either.]

I'll only be yours.

[personal profile] birdhasfallen 2021-03-09 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[this close, keigo can breathe and drown himself in dabi's scent. it only reminds him how real this is. dabi was right there, holding him tightly. it's not just a figment of his imagination.

it's truly unfair to be forced to go back to his hell when he has heaven right there, holding him tightly. he wants dabi to never let him go. he belonged to dabi. not endeavor.

not trusting his voice to speak for a few seconds, keigo nods his head. he tries to come up with a solution. it was up to him to stop endeavor while dabi was here. he can't trust prison to keep the man. besides, the hero commission would gladly keep the number one in the spotlight, no matter what keigo did.]


I don't want to go back.

[he admits truthfully and softly. with dabi not pulling back, keigo doesn't either. to be close like this keeps his mind and emotions calmed. he doesn't drown in dark thoughts. all he sees and feels is dabi.]

It's okay. I'm sorry too. I won't ever say that again.

[he apologizes, coming to comb a hand through dabi's hair.]

...you're mine too, right?

[dabi's anger would return. keigo is aware of that. it may never even go away. he may also see dabi in that previous state of hurt too. keigo accepts he would have to do his best to help dabi through it, to try and handle he anger that would come his way. if he wants to be with dabi, it's these sort of things he has to be willing to handle.

he's not sure if his own trauma would surface or if he that earlier fear would shine bright in his eyes again. but he also would rather be here for dabi than think about that. he wants so much to remain in these arms and, for once, it's all real here, the way it should have been.]


Okay.

[keigo agrees in a small voice. the last time, dabi says. keigo can handle that. he can do it. how they do it is still lost to the former hero. he wishes the answer was clear and simple, of what steps he had to take in order to get him back to dabi without endeavor ever showing up in their lives again.

his head on dabi's shoulder does lift up a bit to bury into the other male's neck when those following words come. he nods again, tears wetting his eyes.]


No one knows me like you do.

[it's the truth. he's never opened himself up quite like he did with dabi, despite the lies and betrayal. he had been honest with his love and intimacy. with endeavor, keigo had shut down and never gave an ounce of adoration or affection, and, maybe pitifully, he had believed the man to his words.

but, he has dabi here, reminding keigo of his worth.

he can only cling tighter though, hearing dabi agree that he belonged to the former hero. he sure that would please his jealous streak, but it's only the two of them here. it makes him feel at peace to hear such words though.]


I have...I have something for you. In the weeks, or months, or years, whenever you're ready, there's something special I want to give you.

[maybe there's a form of therapy they can both look into while they reside in san junipero. once everything is over, keigo might look further into it. they had so much trauma together, and could benefit by receiving help for it.

for now though, he'll be that help that dabi needs. if his former lover wants to discuss anything on his mind, tell keigo his darkest nightmares, he'll be there to listen and hold dabi's hand. he'll always bring there to bring dabi back from whatever dark thoughts he has.]


Yeah. We'll..we'll be able to come up with something. I know we will.

[as soon as he can clear his thoughts a little bit more. his emotions still were running high, and he was holding dabi so tightly and close. he didn't want to pull away from this. not yet.

he's glad to feel those arms around him too. it gives him comfort that they'll be able to fix this. they just needed one good and solid plan.

dabi pulls back eventually though, but keigo doesn't mind. he keeps his hands gripping onto his former lover's shirt, looking up to stare at those mesmerizing blue eyes. he doesn't see or think of endeavor when he looks into these intense irises. all he sees is dabi. and that gives the former hero comfort.]


I don't mind telling you.

[he just...wasn't sure if this was the right time for it. not after such emotions that stirred both of them up.]

My first time with, um..sex, it wasn't special. The Hero Commissioners sold me to some politician. They wanted to utilize sex as a weapon. Well, they're not here, and when I created this body, there was a function to sort of...rejuvenate or have this body forget what my real body knows. So like, gag reflexes and inside of me, it's untouched.

[the more he explains, the hotter his face gets. he's starting to dodge those eyes he loves so much, looking at where he grips dabi's shirt instead.]

I mean, I know my mind knows what to do, but technically, this body is inexperienced. I guess, what I'm trying to say is, when you're ready, I want you to take my virginity here. And only you can touch.

[personal profile] birdhasfallen 2021-03-10 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[it’s a little embarrassing coming to admit all of this. but keigo needed to tell dabi. he’s known for awhile how special sex can be, given how many times he enjoyed it with dabi. it’s been special. the type of special he should have had for his first time.

even their first time against that dirty window left a strong impression on keigo. dabi made him feel things that keigo never expected. he wanted to be selfish here, if dabi would let him.

keigo listens quietly as dabi starts to respond, and for a brief second, he assumes his former lover was going to be irritated or annoyed. but, it’s not like that at all. of course, he looks curiously back up to search dabi’s eyes and try to understand the type of shit the other male got himself into.

it comes to hurt in a way that dabi admits to seeking out people to fuck with. no. to fuck him. the jealous part of him immediately comes to mind, but keigo forces it back. he had no room to expect dabi to not seek out pleasure after the crap he pulled. dabi could have fucked the entire city and keigo would still need to suck it up. besides, he had seen dabi getting pleasure the one time, so a part of him knew.

eventually he calms his jealousy down because he also realizes then that dabi wasn’t messing around for pleasure. and it pulls at keigo’s heart to realize that. even without endeavor here, dabi had been hurting from that man.

golden eyes look sadly up to his former lover, with one hand coming to cup dabi’s cheek softly. he hurts so much to not being here to hold dabi at night. but that would all change soon. he would soon be here full time to give dabi all of him.]


You deserve it. I want you to have it.

[just another form of showing his affections to this man. he wants to give dabi everything.]

You deserve so much, and I want to give you it all. You don’t need to be hurt like that. And very soon, I’ll be here to curl with you in bed at night. I’m yours and you’re mine. So, take my virginity for yourself. I’m yours.

[personal profile] birdhasfallen 2021-03-10 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[it didn't matter to keigo what dabi sought out in terms of intimacy. he had no standing there, after what he had done to his former lover. but, he hopes now that dabi won't try to find a bed mate to warm himself up or hurt himself with. he wanted to be the only one who touched the other male.

even if it took years upon years to earn that right back.

warmth hits keigo's chest and a small smile takes to his lips with the response he's given. he eagerly nods his head, glad to save himself for dabi. he wanted this body to only know dabi, and no one else.]


It'll all be yours when you're ready.

[keigo breathes out in relief before he finally pulls back from dabi's body. they had so much to think and do now though, before he can work on earning dabi's forgiveness. while he doesn't want to ruin the good mood between them, time was ticking close to midnight. they needed to come up with a plan.

and, something does come to mind...]


I think...I know how to keep Endeavor preoccupied. Without sex. The problem is putting an end to him and getting back here before I'm caught. I can hide his body and quickly sign over my life rights and come here before anyone realizes it.
