[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.]
oh my god that's adorable, do you have a discord by any chance?
[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.]
I do but its been so long I gotta wait till I get home and dig up my username lol
[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.]
alrighty haha, just asking because i use that to chat oocly a lot
[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? 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.]
its dreamthief#3902 but i cant promise i'll ever be on lol i suuuuck
[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.
[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.]
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.
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.
[ 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?]
[Shigaraki looks at the other and considers moving his legs for a moment. Scratching lightly at the side of his neck as if to really ponder his options here. For a minute it looks like he's still not going to budge... and then-]
Sure. Why not? [But first-]
Why don't you wait a minute. You know it's been nine whole minutes since I put my legs on you, right?
[ For a moment there, Shigaraki is thinking too long and hard about this blowjob and Dabi can't imagine why in the world the other man would turn him down. Dabi realizes he's probably just trying to give him shit.
And then... he narrows his eyes, pushing up on his elbows. ]
You're counting this? But...
[He starts, wanting to remind Shigaraki that he only said ten minutes for the first time and fifteen for the rest, but why would he fuck himself over here? Again, he thought Shigaraki might try and take advantage of this touching deal they have a lot more than he is, because this is hardly anything at all. ]
You didn't push me off. I thought it was only fair to make it ten minutes this time.
[He never said it was always going to be a sexual kind of touch. Anything to get Dabi to open up a bit more and get him over this tendency. When the final minute passes, he slowly lifts his legs off Dabi.]
[Dabi's a little bit annoyed, though he can't really pinpoint why. Of course he thought it was always going to a sexual kind of touch, because that's all they have. That's all they've really done. Well. Sort of. He supposes they've done other things together now too.]
If it's all bad and rough, you'll always fight back harder.
[He pauses thoughtfully, leaning back on his hands. Dabi could be annoyed about it- that Shigaraki gives a shit about him but they've become more than just whatever it was they used to be. Boss and underling? Yeah. More than that.]
yep, i'll just wait for the official translations but i'm glad i cleared dabi up atleast
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.

alrighty haha, just asking because i use that to chat oocly a lot
[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?
oh yeah, i prob should too, it just glitches on me so often im like ehhhh
[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.
:P it shouldn't glitch too much nowadays
I'm surprised you stayed the night. [But entirely glad.]
its dreamthief#3902 but i cant promise i'll ever be on lol i suuuuck

i'm Bee#7913 an that's ok :o
[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.
no subject
[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 subject
[He moves one of his legs on top of Dabi's, testing the waters here.]
Why?
no subject
[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.

Your loss, I guess.
no subject
[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.
no subject
[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.]

no subject
[Dabi's a little bit annoyed, though he can't really pinpoint why. Of course he thought it was always going to a sexual kind of touch, because that's all they have. That's all they've really done. Well. Sort of. He supposes they've done other things together now too.]
No, that wasn't so bad.

We'll make you unafraid of touch yet.
