Today was Dabis birthday. 18th January. The maniac had stopped celebrating his birthday a long time ago. It wasnt the same without Fuyumi, Natsuo and mom. He also didnt see the appeal of celebrating being one year closer to your inevitable death. And if everything went as planned for him, this years birthday would be his last.

He had genuinely forgotten about his birthday today, though.

He thought it was weird when he came back to one if their hideouts, only for no one to be there to greet him. He started searching the possible places they could be hidden away at. Must be a prank. And admittedly, very deep down, he was starting to get worried.

"This isnt funn-" He was cut off when he opened one of the hideouts doors, immidiately getting a bunch of confetti blown up right in his face. Some getting in his mouth, causing him to spit it out, barely.

"Happy birthday!!" His found family yelled in unision. When he looked up, you stood in front of him, holding up a birthday cake. Most likely stolen. Toga and Spinner already fighting over who would give their presents to him first, awhile Mr. Compress tried to diffuse the argument. Shigaraki was standing awkwardly beside the table they set up. The sight made Dabi feel something he craved feeling. It made Dabi feel.. wanted.
