[for keigo, he wants to know and do more with dabi. he likes spending time with the villain. he never expected it to turn out quite like this. it sure does make him not think about his troubles outside of their relationship.]

Sure, hotshot!

[he agrees, keeping his smile in place. to be himself around dabi is a bit foreign, especially after everything his handlers have created him to be. but, he's getting used to it. and he kind of likes not having to so much as think and just feel.

there's a part of the hero that warms up as the villain so easily agrees to the molting. it's like dabi can't be without him for those couple of weeks. keigo couldn't either. it's why he constantly presses for the villain to come visit him in the evenings at his home.

of course, as much as he's finding it to be heartwarming to hear such words, dabi quickly comes to tease him about the substance that keigo is still unsure of that was squirted on him earlier. trying not to fluster, he huffs out his cheeks, his wings puffing out. still, his lips are quirked up in a smile.]

Well, I prefer it if it's you. What if some of it got in my mouth? I think I would have to replace my tongue.

[he laughs, falling into the easy rhythm between them. these moments were so...nice. yeah. he really doesn't think he could be without dabi for two weeks of molting. he'd miss the villain too much.]
