[he's fucked. he's definitely fucked it all up. he should have never returned to tuckers. he's not even sure why he would. there were other clubs here. as long as it wasn't tuckers or quagmire, then he would have been fine.

he can start searching for that other club now, actually. let dabi remain within tuckers. sure, he liked the atmosphere, and he liked dancing. there was more clubs that could provide that though.

stupid. he was so stupid.

it hurts all over again, just like always. it's like when he wakes from a dream and dabi is gone. and then reality sets in. sometimes, late at night, he rereads over old text messages, when things were perfect. he remembers when they shared his bed, had fun in his penthouse. like it was just the two of them. like it was fate.

he must be daydreaming too hard because he swears he hears his name as he steps into the night air. but then it's there again, and keigo realizes it's real, and coming from dabi. so much for getting away without being lectured. but, it's his own fault for coming to a club that he knew the former villain to visit prior.]


I'm sorry.

[keigo quickly gets out, turning to face dabi while taking a step back.]

I'll go somewhere else. I promise, I won't come back here.

[he'll give dabi the space he promised before.

it's so hard though, keigo realizes. even after all this time, his chest warms up, knees weak just by getting a glimpse of his former lover. he's exactly the same of when keigo dreams of him. it's just not fair.]

[the lecture doesn’t exactly come. but keigo is left feeling weak and exposed as dabi lifts up that hood and those intense eyes are on him. it’s completely unfair to look and not touch.

but that was his price to pay. he can’t ever have what he once did. that perfect life was gone now.

keigo tenses up to dabi’s words. immediately, he shakes his head. he never came back here to bother the villain again.

he wanted to see dabi. gods did he ever. but he wouldn’t subject his former lover to the hell he’s been put through.]


No, I...I was trying to stay away, like you wanted.

[keigo fidgets, rubbing his wrist.]

It’ll be midnight soon, so I’m going to leave and find somewhere else to go.

[and he forces out another smile. fake. they were always fake now.]

Thanks for earlier though, hot stuff. Really scared the pants off the guy.

[the question almost catches keigo off guard. right. he didn't finish explaining the details to dabi.]

At midnight, I have to go. I'm a tourist, so I can only visit once a week.

[why he can't visit any longer was beyond him. he was told that it had something to do with stirring up the head, but honestly, his mind was already fucked up with all the trauma he's experienced.

and why did it matter? it wasn't like-

it's hard to not feel a tremble down his back at dabi's sharp words. keigo can't tell if it's jealousy to those words. dabi and jealousy never mixed too well, despite how keigo cherished being labeled as dabi's property.]


No, of course there's no one else. I'm here because of me, because I'm d-

[immediately, he snaps his mouth closed. too close. that was too close. he can't say it. he doesn't want to believe it. swallowing, keigo tries again to recover.]

A..Anyway, you probably want me gone now, right? You should really try dancing in Tuckers. You might like it.

[probably not his greatest recovery, but he hopes dabi doesn't notice.]

[dabi was sharp. sharper than most. it really made things easy before, and if they had actually remained together, keigo would appreciate it. but now, it just leaves him exposed, cold almost, as he's forced to think of things he wants to forget.

after all, this is the one time of the week he doesn't have to think.]


I've been visiting for four weeks now. Every Saturday night.

[keigo admits softly. he hates that dabi can reduce him to this. he wants so easily to put on a fake smile and pretend. it was easier for keigo to play that part. he could hide and not show how scared and anxious he was.]

...I'm dying. A few months ago, I was given the diagnostics. I wasn't going to come back here. Just die and that be it.

[how annoying and pitiful. keigo hated it. really, what rotten luck he had. must have pissed off some deity or something.]

I'm tired of everyone bugging me to upload to San Junipero. So, to get them off my back, I agreed to do the trial run. That's why I'm here.

I mean, two of them I didn’t do anything but hide and look around.

[he had been trying his best to keep dabi from seeing him, after all. he did given his word to allow his former lover to never see him again.

but if he ever lived here, it would have been bound to happen. and keigo knows he would have felt that urge to contact dabi.

it’s why he’s not considering living here. there’s no point to it. he just had to humor his friends back in reality.

they would understand if he chose not to live here permanently. he did give it a shot.

keigo immediately tenses up to dabi’s following question. he can’t tell him. no. not ever. it’s easier to lie. but dabi always could read him easily.

so he decides to try and shake it off, and hope dabi doesn’t pressure him.]


Just recklessness on my part. Heroes never live long, right?

[he tries terribly to lighten the mood. it’s keigo’s best feature, he tells himself. to play his role as the joker.

he’s not sure when he had averted his gaze, but he catches dabi doing the same and focuses back on his former lover.]


I was told a month. That was six weeks ago. So, any day now, I guess. If I agree to live here, I’m able to get euthanatized. But who wants that, right?

Well...yeah. I didn’t want to upset you anymore.

[of course he wanted to see his former lover. he was so addicted to dabi, since day one. it’s not anything he can admit so openly anymore though.

he’s sure it would only piss off dabi further.

keigo’s eyebrows furrow, golden pupils filling deep with hurt. he can’t tell dabi what happened. there’s no point to it. he was dying. nothing more to it.

dabi had enough on his mind here. keigo can’t help but worry for his former lover’s safety and mind. even if dabi despised him.

so pitifully, he keeps his mouth shut, allows dabi to speak everything on his mind while keigo takes it. but it absolutely breaks his heart when he catches those tears, a sight he never would expect to see from the other man.

why? why would dabi shed tears for him? he didn’t deserve it, right? there was no reason.

and it hurts so much that his former lover decides it’s too much and turns to leave. keigo wants to follow, not even sure what to say, but to just be close to dabi again.

could he get out those three words finally? probably not.

maybe it was a real mistake returning here...

but dabi stops, keigo realizes as he looks over his shoulder. why? why wasn’t he walking away? why was he tormenting keigo like this?

the hero wanted nothing more than to just run over and wrap his arms around dabi and-

he does it without thinking. the steps are rushed, hurried, until he bumps hard into dabi’s back. keigo wraps his arms firmly around the thin waist, body trembling, scared that his former lover would walk away. his face is buried too, eyes wet already, soaking into the dark clothes.

keigo can’t breathe. it all hurts. everything hurts. yet, holding dabi like this, it’s bittersweet.]


I don’t want this to be goodbye.

[he says through a broken hiccup. why was he always crying? why did dabi make him so weak? he so scared though. terrified even, that dabi would break away and leave. but he should expect it. he deserved this type of punishment.]

[he can feel the way dabi moves to rub his eyes. instinctively, keigo can't help but to hold tighter to his former lover. he misses this so much. just getting to touch dabi, it stirs the emptiness inside of him. he won't ever get this chance again. he's a dead man knocking on death's door.

but, he tells himself, at least he's able to feel this one last time. it just seems so impossible to stay in san junipero when he knows how close his former love was. there's no point in staying alive forever when the man he loves and desires would want him gone. he couldn't do that to dabi.

still, he bared his heart out to his old love. keigo isn't even sure why. it's true that he's tired of lying to dabi. but, there's no benefit to admit something so deep when they're both so broken.

yet, as dabi speaks, giving him that one and final chance, keigo lifts his head up, chin against his former lover's back as he blinks away his tears. he never would have expected this. why...why would dabi even give him that much? instinctively, he holds the other man tighter before nodding his head.]


I'll tell you everything.

[no more reason to lie. no more hiding. no more pretending. keigo knows not to expect anything of it, but he wants to give dabi anything and everything, no matter how big or small. he just, he can't help it.]

Can we..somewhere more private? It'll take awhile to tell you it all.

[he asks with hesitation. it's not because he doesn't want to be alone with his old lover, since keigo would very much prefer that at any given chance. but, it's easier to talk to dabi and be himself without spying eyes on the two of them.]

[it's almost too perfect like this. keigo didn't want to move. if there wasn't anyone possibly watching them, he would give all the honesty to dabi right then and there. but, they needed privacy. keigo can only be truthful and honest to dabi alone.

he doubts his former lover would allow him to touch like this again. it might be a struggle to actually pull away. honestly, he doesn't think he can do it.

how can he move away from the one thing that he's been craving for months now?

but, he does look up to meet dabi's gaze, giving a nod when the former villain mentions his own place. he kind of knew the specifics to it. a house to call your own. right now, he has a shabby and tiny apartment. something temporary. he doesn't spend much of any time within it. he's only been inside it once, honestly.

after all, he didn't need a home. this is...temporary.

at least, he keeps telling himself that.

but, dabi seems to have it nicely made for himself. unless the todorokis' were responsible for the home being placed on the beach. keigo wasn't exactly sure. they generally kept to themselves regarding the details of touya todoroki being placed in san junipero.

briefly, he looks to his wrist for the watch there.]


It's a little after nine-thirty. We have a few hours.

[that should be enough to explain it all. keigo hopes so, anyway. who knows if he would make it to next week. the line he was treading on was very thin by now. each day could be his last.]

It's not far?

[it's dabi who pulls away, and keigo allows it. what else could he do? he's getting to talk with his former lover again. that should be enough, right? dabi was never supposed to return in his life, after all. it's bittersweet though. two and a half hours for a final goodbye.

maybe he can go peacefully knowing that. everything just always hurts back in reality.

keigo finds himself almost reaching out to take dabi by the hand, but immediately returns it back to his side. no. he couldn't. he didn't have that right any longer. no more touching, he quietly lectures to himself while following in step with his former lover.]


Didn't know you could drive.

[he says with a small smile. keigo isn't sure why, but he always pictures dabi as a walker. or maybe a motorcycle kind of guy. one really could have anything and everything here in this life.

keigo does find it mildly curious when dabi comes to admit more about his home. of course, it's hard to not flinch hearing him mention that he kills himself. can't blame the guy though. must be hell here without a purpose. it's exactly why keigo doesn't agree so easily to immortality.]


Can't really explain why it's chosen for you. I only know maybe half the mechanics of this place. They're constantly working on it before it goes open to the public.

Sounds generally what I've been told. As long as you will it, this place makes it happen. Within their terms and service.

[he's pretty positive there wasn't any killing allowed and other rules like that. after all, it's supposed to be a utopia.

keigo looks over to dabi as the former villain brings up his father. honestly, the number two hero has been avoiding the man. at least, he was until he became bedridden. then, he had no choice but to listen to endeavor. he tried to keep an open mind, but honestly, his heart fell in line to dabi. and in a way, it hurt that the man he grew up believing was his true hero was part of something a little more sinister.]


He has the money and power to do what he wants.

[it's said a little sourly. keigo tries to remain neutral about it all, but he's had more than enough time to process what was said and told.]

...he asked about you, when he discovered I came in here. I didn't tell him anything that was said. Told him I couldn't find you. He's one of the few persuading my old handlers to get me to stay here full-time.

[whether as a friendly gesture or sinister plot, he's not sure. on the front, he sees a man desperate to atone for his errors. but, endeavor's gaze and touch always lingers. like the number one hero knows that keigo has secrets pertaining to touya todoroki.]

They really don't tell you much of their rules. Well, they haven't told me much. Just the basics, I suppose.

[he's always given the run around, told to be patient and enjoy his new life. he remembers being skeptical, but if dabi was here, along with a few other people, it must be true. doesn't mean he wanted it.

what he really wants, he can't have. and no one on the outside seems to get that.

dabi speaks so truthfully about endeavor, keigo notes to himself. he wonders though, if he had listened closer, if he would have put two and two together. keigo had been such a fan of endeavor back then. it's kind of...pathetic, when he looks back on it.

on one hand, he had a man who put away his criminal father. who saved him from such a rotten life and gave him a chance. but on the other, he sees a man who abused his family and power.

the same power he would hide up anything if he could, keigo supposed. the hero would like to believe that endeavor was changing for the better, but it felt so odd. endeavor's eyes never seemed sad or apologetic. though, he has to give the man credit. he could put on some waterworks for his family.

as dabi stops, keigo does too, looking to the once villain with worried eyes. he's starting to regret bringing up the number one hero when he sees the way dabi clenches his fist.]


I don't know. He visits me everyday in the hospital and tries talking about it. I try and pretend to sleep most of the time though.

[it's the urging from the number one that gets keigo to not trust endeavor as much. sure, he was on the edge of death, but it just didn't feel right to euthanize himself.]

Can't exactly run from him anymore.

Don't see any police or heroes running around. Maybe it's just impossible to break them.

[being the hero and villain here, keigo would have expected dabi to be breaking more rules than himself. he's only danced and got drunk off his ass. nothing more than that.

their talk isn't improving, not when dabi begins to react in that manner. it's not that it catches keigo off guard, considering their recent history. still though, the hero is left eying the once villain, trying to figure out what to say or do to calm him down.

he's been accused of this before, but back then, his alliance was with the heroes. not now though. now, he only aligned with himself.]


Dabi-

[keigo tries to start, but then his former lover backs away. the hero doesn't dare make a step forward or back, remains planted in place.]

You don't have to say anything about yourself. I'm telling you everything from the beginning. But I'm positive they can't hear us. If they did, Endeavor wouldn't be breathing down my neck every damn day to find out about you.

[it's hard to not look away when dabi brings up that club. it does earn a small huff from the hero though.]

Pretty sure that entire club should be against the rules.

[but, then again, he's not accustomed to such a wild life. the wildest shit he's ever got himself into was literately in front of him.

like dabi to him, keigo can't help but return the same untrusting gaze. it didn't mean he disliked his ex-lover, because those feelings were very strong. however, dabi did prove to know more than he let on before, and he used enough fire to practically kill him.

still, he follows after dabi, but maybe not as close as before.]


Maybe dying here will kill me in real life too. Sounds pretty tempting to lie just to test that theory.

[he makes a poor attempt to lighten the mood. but, whether or not it's his actual feelings, he tries to not let on.]

You want me to start when my handlers ordered me to infiltrate the League? Or when I became involved with them?
