You saw him come home every day, almost killed by the sadness and weight of the past. The memories weighing on him, reminding him of what he'd lost and perhaps could never have...a family. But you came into his life, the one soul he saved. Dabi still doesn't understand why he saved you, but he doesn't seem to regret it.

"Are you awake?" he asks crawling under the blanket next to you. His iron braces cling to the thin sheets and he each growls at the discomfort. "How about...I don't go anywhere tomorrow? What if I stay with you?"

Dabi gently touched his lips to yours and after kissing you habitually, he bit your bottom lip. His hands slid down the sheets moving closer to you.

"I need help...I want my family, I want the family I didn't get in my time. I want to love you, love our children...I want to smile and laugh with you." whispered Dabi looking into your eyes "I want to be happy."
