[He lets Dabi talk to him, kissing the scarred lips, and pulling softly at the skin. He wants to change the topic, it's steering dangerously close into the territory that usually makes him want to skate around the conversation. But he doesn't ignore Dabi or leave him hanging;]
Don't overthink it. [Shigaraki pulls his lips away and scoots a little closer to Dabi.] Kiss me instead.
[ Dabi thinks that's probably why it hits him harder at times and why he's been so adamant about keepng others away- because he doesn't think about it, doesn't talk about it, he just shoves it all away, only to let it burst out and overflow later on.
But it's not like he wants to talk about it either, so he'd rather listen to Shigaraki's advice and go with the more comfortable side of emotions. Although, based on Shigaraki's reaction to those emotions just earlier, they might not be too safe either.
Eventually they'll have to face it all. Eventually, but not now. Dabi turns to him a little more so it'll be easier to move his hand to his face and leans in to kiss him deeply right away. It doesn't take long for him to slide his fingers into light blue hair, wanting to get closer, but not wanting to push just how many times he can do that today. ]
[They're safe. Clearly they both admitted to their feelings of love. They both know how the other felt about it. However the emotions were compromised from years of abandonment, neglect, and finely tuned hatred. With time they'll be able to comfortably say things like love to each other. Neither one want to say it and then have the other stomp on such a fragile emotion. They're guarded and for good reasons. The kiss is one way they can let their guard down without fear.
He doesn't have his gloves on right now so Shigaraki curls his hands into fists and tucks them under his chin, pressing the fists hard against his throat. Shigaraki uses this position to get closer to Dabi. It's not as intimate as they've been in the past with Shigaraki's body basically kept to himself. But it gives Dabi the opportunity to lead, a chance to get comfortable with closeness.
Tired red eyes close as he focuses his energy and thoughts on the kiss.
They've done this enough times that Shigaraki can recall every detail about Dabi's lips. The little dips and the direction of scarred flesh. How far the first staples are from the middle of his lips, and where the staples on his chin bump into his own.
He presses more into the kiss, letting his anxiety melt away with one consuming thought.
