[just the smallest smile catches at the corner of his lips when the villain admits so openly over his opinion on the media, and why he said what he did.]

I actually would love to tell a lot people about it. I was kind of...happy, when they took that picture of us. Even if no one can tell who you are, I knew. I wanted to tell the media that you were my boyfriend and that they weren't privy of your identity.

[he laughs, although feeling a little embarrassed over his admittance. it's almost nice to talk like this though, telling dabi things he only thought to himself.

keigo does stay close as the villain turns from him. he looks over him worriedly, but listens. and, by the end of it, he can't help the sad look the takes to his features. he always knew this was bound to happen, that he would be faced with a hard choice. he just didn't expect it here. and now.]

Dabi...

[he trails off, not sure what he should say or do. what was right, and what was wrong. what was worth more and what wasn't. he knows what his heart wants. he's known that for awhile.

keigo turns away, leaning against the counter, eyes averted.]

I need to tell you more. About me. And why...why I want you to save me. I don't think I can handle it on my own any longer.
