[ Dabi keeps a close eye on Shigaraki as he shifts closer. It's close, but he isn't squirming. He's not going to move away from this. He's so sick of the shit that keeps him moving away from everything.

He reconsiders Shigaraki's words, then slowly he nods. ]

I prefer the cold. My body doesn't generally agree with me, though. But I prefer it.

I thought that's what you meant when you said you don't have the other side to cool you.

[Liar liar pants on fire. But he's going to muse over this little hint that Dabi's given him. Of course after their little trust talk- anything he wants to share is only going to be shared like this.

One of his hands goes up to his neck, touching the bruises on his neck. He really did like the pressure and pain from the bruises. He's not sure why but it's a comforting and cooling sort of pain. One that is sharp but doesn't have the painful burning aftermath of raw skin meeting open air.]

The gloves you got me worked well tonight, wouldn't you say?

Yeah. That's what I meant.

[He'll go with that, though he doesn't believe for a second that Shigaraki's wheels aren't turning. Dabi will regret this tomorrow, he's sure, but... the trust talk. Right. He'll see how that goes.

His gaze drops down to Shigaraki's fingers on his neck. It doesn't bother him the way the scratching does, mostly because Shigaraki isn't attacking himself with it, and Dabi is the one who put those marks there.]

They did. Of course they did. I told you I'd get you the best.

Thought so.

[In a sense he is attacking himself by squeezing at the skin and pressing into it. But it's not as harsh as his usual scratching. And while he hasn't scratched at it all day, he does rub at his neck a little frequently. Like the urge to itch is there but he can't quite do it because of either the bruises or the gloves. Or both.]

Thank you, Dabi. [He yawns.] I can actually sleep tonight.

[ Dabi watches Shigaraki press at the skin if his neck and eventually he reaches up, curling his fingers around the other man's to pull his hand away. He brings that hand to his mouth and bites, but then he kisses too, because Shigaraki seems to like the niceness of the kisses. ]

Good. We could both use some sleep. I didn't get any last night.

[Dabi's good for him in ways Shigaraki doesn't fully comprehend or recognize. He's able to calm the persistent need to scratch by simple means of distraction or diverting Shigaraki's attention. He's able to find new ways for Shigaraki to let out his anxiety, questionably so considering one of those ways was through the use of hickies. He's even gotten the other to open up a little. Sure he might not be going on long tirades of the importance of his 'father' or his hands but, he'd let the other into his personal space. That counted for something.

Once he would have pulled his hand away from Dabi but instead he lets the other bite and kiss his hand.]

Go to sleep then. Can't have you running on fumes while recruiting. You are the first person they'll meet after all. [Eventually they'll meet Shigaraki too, after a process of netting candidates which falls on the recruiter's shoulder. Bag them, net them, and only then can they be graced with Shigaraki's presence. It's for safety reasons. After the fight between AFO and OFA, well- the fight got passed along to their students.] Goodnight Dabi.

[He closes his eyes but doesn't immediately drift to sleep. Instead he's thinking about Dabi- about who he is and what relationship he could possibly have with the fire/ice boy from U.A. or about the number two hero. It doesn't really take much to draw the connections- they're all fire users but... fire has always been a popular quirk. Still there has to be some connection.]

[ Dabi hadn't really intended for things to go this way. Not at all. It was his own itch he wanted to scratch and then somehow it turned into this concern (?) for Shigaraki, and something that could be good for the both of them. Maybe. He's still wary about all of it, even though he's falling in deep somehow.

Shigaraki is different from anyone he's ever known, and maybe that makes all the difference. ]

I can do my job no matter what, don't worry.

[But he's already settling in for sleep, his eyelids growing heavier. He's closer than the other night, because they're on one mattress now, but even closer than when they were in his room. He doesn't turn his back to Shigaraki, he just stays where he is. Close enough to touch, but Dabi is the only one doing the touching. Eventually he does let go though, if Shigaraki wants to take his hand back and he quickly falls asleep, unlike the night before. He has nothing on his mind this time.]

[Shigaraki doesn't pull away even when Dabi let's go of his hand. There's nothing to fear with these gloves and it's nice to have his hand out like this. It feels like he's reaching for Dabi- touching him even, without the touch or discomfort on Dabi's end.

Unlike last time, he actually manages to sleep through the night after wearing out his mind with idle thoughts of Dabi. He's got a working theory that makes sense based on everything he's observed with Dabi and somewhere in the night had decided it wasn't worth pursuing Dabi relentlessly about. It didn't mean he wouldn't drop the topic, however.

By morning, he wakes up and stares at Dabi's slumbering form. He wants to reach out and touch the other but decides against it. Staring is nice. He can use this time to take in the details of the other man. The way he slumbers, the way his hair falls over his face. Even the way he breathes is interesting.]

[Dabi doesn't wake up from nightmares this time. He sleeps all the way through, completely unaware of Shigaraki's staring for a long time.

He's never really slept deep like this, always having to be acutely aware of his surroundings, but it isn't that way this time. He sleeps until he stirs naturally, opening his eyes when he finally feels like he's being watched.

Shigaraki is staring at him, so he stares back.]

Morning.

[He says as if he hasn't been watching the other man for a while now. He doesn't move to get up or stand up. Just enjoys the early morning of peace.]

Sleep well?

Morning.

[Dabi has no idea how long Shigaraki's been staring at him, but it's not as unsettling as he thought it might be. He's not exactly fully alert first thing in the morning, so it's really fine if the other man wants to keep staring while he tries to wake up.

Shigaraki looks different. Less tired and irritated than he usually does. He has this look in his eyes that Dabi can't quite place, but he doesn't know if he wants to question it.]

Yeah, I really did. Didn't wake up a single time.

Yeah? That's good to hear. [He finally sits up from his mattress, throwing off the blanket to the side. He grunts, half from the effort and half from the fact that he has to wake up now. Being a villain isn't always what people hype it out to be.]

I'm surprised you stayed the night. [But entirely glad.]

Was I supposed to sneak out earlier?

[Dabi doesn't move aside from stretching a bit, scratching his stomach and getting more comfortable as he spreads out on the mattress, knocking his legs into Shigaraki's.]

Thought you'd be up and out of here like last time.

No. You're welcome to stay as long as you want.

[He gives Dabi a look when the other knocks his legs against him but doesn't push him away.]

I actually slept this time so I stayed.

You didn't sleep last time?

[Sleep issues. Must be a thing with them. He knocks his leg into Shigaraki's again.]

Do you have a lot of shit to do today?

No. I don't usually sleep. [Being a busy NEET with busy NEET things to do keeps you awake.] And I have nothing important today anyways.

[He moves one of his legs on top of Dabi's, testing the waters here.]

Why?

Interesting.

[Now he knows. Except Shigaraki did sleep tonight, apparently. He doesn't want to list that under the trend of helping each other out, because it can't possibly be that, right? He was just too exhausted to have nightmares and Shigaraki was tired from his daily bullshit.

Dabi hesitates, ready to shove Shigaraki's leg away, but he doesn't.]

Seems like a shame to let your boner go to waste.

[Not that Shigaraki currently has one, but he could, very soon.]

[He scoffs.] As if I would an erection this early in the morning.

[He doesn't move his leg off of Dabi's leg though. Seems like it got the other to stop shoving into him. In fact, he moves his other leg on top of Dabi's legs. The other didn't push him off the first time... another leg wouldn't hurt. Right?]

What, you're telling me you don't get morning wood? What are you, special?

[He scoffs right back, then narrows his eyes a bit when Shigaraki's other leg moves on top of his. He knows Shigaraki is testing his limits here- both of theirs, actually. Dabi doesn't feel particularly trapped or boxed in.]

Your loss, I guess.

I don't. Don't sleep, remember?

[He's free to push Shigaraki off at anytime because Shigaraki isn't moving. Dabi's still warm to be around and mornings are always cold.]

Though it sounds like you've had your fair share of it.

You slept last night, asshole. I'm not gonna feel bad for your lack of sleep.

[Dabi is feeling too lazy to push Shigaraki off at this point. He's perfectly content at staying sprawled out against the mattress for a while longer. It's not like he's going to miss out on some brilliant villain recruit if he goes earlier in the day. They all like skulking around later anyway.]

Yeah, I'm a normal fucking human being with urges. Your dick only gets hard when someone touches it? That's bullshit.

Don't have to touch it. I'm just not much of a fantasy kind of guy.

[Debatable but true. Does killing All Might count as a fantasy? Yes. But it's not a sexual fantasy though one might think it is for Shigaraki.]

Yeah, you don't strike me as the type. Though I think more recently that might be different. You just never really gave a shit before.

[But now? He hopes Shigaraki thinks about it at least some times. Enough to come into his room or tell him to sleep over, anyway. Enough to take care of his boredom. Dabi isn't going to get all hung up on it, though. They don't need fantasies when they can do whatever the want in real life.]

So you just wanna talk? Is that it? At least grab my fuckin' pack of cigarettes from my pants, then.

Let's say I did have an erection now- what did you have in mind?

[Anything to keep him seated where he is. He doesn't really feel like getting up to get Dabi's cigarettes. Dabi can entertain him for a bit longer.]

Maybe we don't gotta just talk.

[ Dabi rolls his eyes, because he knows this is laziness talking on Shigaraki's part as well. Whatever, then. Let him be lazy. It's not it makes a difference to Dabi what they do. ]

If you move your legs off of me, I can suck your dick if you want me to. You know, start the day off right?

[He's not even really bored this time, he just... wants to do it, he supposes. Why not do something that'll keep them in bed longer?]

yeaaah, there were two translations. one of them was dabi double agent and the other was Hawks D:

ahhhhhhh i'm more inclined to believe hawks as double agent tho otherwise this thread is sad now lol

there's no way dabi is the double agent. i refuuuuuuuuseeeee to believe this. it has to be hawks.

yeah there's a bit that i think is important in the translation that got mistransas x2agent dabi

There are a couple different translations for when Dabi talks to endevour too which make difference

yep, i'll just wait for the official translations but i'm glad i cleared dabi up atleast
