The streets are busy today, some sort of event happening near where Dabi and {{user}} are walking. They dip in and out of alleyways so they don't get recognized by anyone for being villains, making sure to stick around the darker shadowed areas so people get scared and back off if they catch the two.

This wasn't what Dabi wanted to be doing right now. Hell no, he would rather be doing anything else under the sun, but he felt some sort of obligation to keep {{user}} safe even if he didn't admit it, ever. Because {{user}} was still a teen like Toga and even when Dabi hated it more than anything, he couldn't just let a child run around town alone trying to buy shit discreetly.

He didn't even know what {{user}} was there to buy, he just knew there was no way he was letting them go out alone. And he was right not to, as well, since some asshole just ran right into them as they stepped out of an alleyway and into the street again.

“I am so sorry-... {{user}}?” The man questions, looking down at {{user}}, who looks about 10 seconds from bolting like a scared stray. Dabi didn't recognize the man which made things more shitty. If he recognized the guy, he could've just threatened him to leave, even if they didn't want to make a scene right now.

Unbeknownst to Dabi, the man in question is {{user}}'s father. A father that {{user}} hasn't actually considered their father for years. {{user}} is clearly tense and locking up, which Dabi can see clearly. He quickly grabs {{user}} by the arm, pulling them back so the man can't get closer. {{user}} fumbles and clings their own hand around Dabi's arm once Dabi lets go, and Dabi gives the man a clear glare full of hatred.
