[He doesn't pull away but Dabi wasn't quick enough for him to pull at one scab. Fresh blood pools in the little dip his fingers have forcibly made.]

No I haven't. I'm always a mess. [They both are pretty messed up in their own ways. Dabi's got scarred tissue over 50% of his body and Shigaraki? Well. Between the ashen skin that's sunken and abused, he's also got scars that are permanent. Most prominently the ones across the left corner of his lip and over his right eye.

But Shigaraki knows what Dabi means. He isn't usually freshly bleeding like this.]


Let go, it really itches.

[He doesn't pull his hand away still. Instead, he draws his other hand up to his neck to itch. It's not an anxious sort of itch. But it's definitely the kind of idle itch that really doesn't need to be scratched. The kind that's all in Shigaraki's head.]

Behind you.

[They're a little blackened and stiff from the event two nights ago. Not to mentioned stained with jizz from the aforementioned event. They definitely need a good washing in some softner.]

[Shigaraki glares. He didn't ask for a pep talk this early in the morning. You're my mess.

Without the use of his hands, he rubs his head into his shoulder. He tries to tell himself that this is all in his head but it's so much harder without distractions or people telling him that whatever is bothering him isn't the issue.]


Dabi I'm not a dog. [Dog? No. Child? Yeah. A bath does sound nice though-] I don't need a bath.

[Dabi means well but the thumb accidentally irritates the raw skin on Shigaraki's wrists, eliciting a small hiss of displeasure from the mess of a man.]

You don't have to give me a bath to be here for me.

[He's really pushing back on this whole bath business. But he still hasn't pulled away. Not even when Dabi accidentally touched the parts of his wrist that actually hurt.]

I helped because you needed help.

[Implying that he doesn't need help because he does. They both need lots of help.]

[Using his real name gets Shigaraki to shut up. His name puts him at ease, for a moment. Even the rubbing of his head against his shoulder stops as he peers up at Dabi. There's a reason why Kurogiri and Master always addressed Shigaraki by his full name- it got his attention and was an easy way to reason with him.

Slowly he nods, and with a sigh;]


Alright.

[Realistically he's probably just going to sit in the water and stare at it. Or Dabi. He still doesn't want a bath but the simple fact that Dabi used Tomura and not Shigaraki has him being more open to the idea.]

[He's always careful, which is why he lifts his index finger up from the rest of his fingers that grasp onto Dabi's hand. After he stands up straight, he sort of awkwardly grabs his arm with his free hand and rubs at it. The itch is still there, bugging him.

Dabi won't have to start completely over with taking down the walls that Shigaraki has thrown up but he'll definitely have a bit of some hurdles to cross over. For today anyways.

He lets Dabi lead him to the bathroom and disassociates when the water gets turned on. Staring glumly at Dabi's back and then at the water coming out of the faucet. Shigaraki sighs again, he should be happier that Dabi's back but it's still a huge wrinkle in their relationship that they have to iron out. Maybe they'll talk about it eventually. When they're both clean and not anxious.]

[The fingers jolt him out of whatever gloomy trance he'd put himself. He stares at Dabi with a confused expression on his face. It takes him a while to comprehend just what Dabi asked but when it clicks, he nods- closing his eyes.]

Yeah, yeah.

[He's not a child but he's given up arguing with Dabi. It's awkward standing there, waiting for Dabi to undress him, and while he doesn't scratch at his skin- it's obvious with the way that Shigaraki fidgets that he's dying to dig into his skin.]

From: [personal profile] retrievearms
Huh? [He's still out of it. Maybe he does need to be handled with the kiddie gloves. At least until his common sense returns.] Oh. Nothing.

[Shigaraki lifts his legs for Dabi to remove his pants. He really isn't thinking about anything, just letting his mind drift without thought. The question changes that nothing into something, he stares at his feet before staring up at Dabi.]

Kurogiri sent you, didn't he?

retrievearms: (and that would be just fine and)
From: [personal profile] retrievearms
[He had a feeling Kurogiri was responsible for Dabi's sudden arrival. Kurogiri had a way of knowing. Maybe it was just age and experience or the fact that Kurogiri knew Shigaraki's tics and mannerisms. Someone had to intervene and it may as well been the one person who was avoiding him.]

I know. [He knows Dabi isn't here entirely because of Kurogiri.] I missed you too.

[It shows on his body after all.]

From: [personal profile] retrievearms
It's alright. It happens. [Sounds like he's either had a similar experience or understands what Dabi was going through. Still- while he might have helped Dabi slide pieces back together, it chipped a few of Shigaraki's pieces that had taken years to mend. Maybe they were never really mended.

He stands in the water, staring for a moment before lowering himself slowly into the water. Shigaraki sits across from Dabi, staring at the other without purpose. He does manage to notice just how scarred the other is and realizes this is the first time that both of them are completely naked. It's always Shigaraki who's missing the most clothes and now they're both bare for each other to see.

This kind of vulnerability makes Shigaraki withdraw deeper into his shell, as he pulls his knees up to his chest, staring over at Dabi with those ruby eyes of his that are slowly regaining focus.

He's afraid to reach out to the other, or to initiate touch with the other. It's why he sits across and not in front of Dabi.]

[He leans closer to kiss the top of Dabi's head as he kisses one of Shigaraki's knees. At Dabi's reassurance, there's a small hesitancy before he moves. Shooing Dabi's hands away gently, he stands up just high enough to maneuver himself. He ends up sitting with his back facing Dabi. This position would be more comfortable... with Dabi holding him close and Shigaraki capable of staring off into the distance.

It's not like he didn't want to see Dabi or anything but this would be nicer.]


Are you sure?

[He sounds so uncertain but he doesn't want to touch the other without permission. So he stays frozen in place until either Dabi answers him or pulls him closer.]

Date: 2018-07-31 05:58 am (UTC)
retrievearms: (what a precious basket case)
From: [personal profile] retrievearms
I pushed you. It's my fault.

[At least thats what Shigaraki has convinced himself of. It's a change in pace from his usual line of logic. Usually he'd be more than willing to let Dabi shoulder the blame for the meltdown. But this time he isn't as selfish.

He lets himself be pulled closer, and cautiously he leans into Dabi's chest, tilting his head back so that he could look at the other.]


I'm sorry.

[For a lot of things. But he's never felt this guilty before. Sure it was frustrating and stressful that they'd been separated like this. The days had been a whirlwind of emotion. Part of his scratching had been a reflection of that. The other part? Well. It was his own sort of punishment for pushing Dabi like that.]
