I Didn’t Change my Number - Billie Eilish | “Don’t take it out on me I’m out of sympathy for you. Maybe you should leave before I get too mean.”

Dabi despised relationships of any sort. Why become attached to something that’ll only disappear and never return? There’s no point. That’s why when he met (name), who knows how to begin with, he always pushed them away… but they were so persistent to become the one person to be close to him. Jokes on them. He forgot about that a long time ago. Sure, every now and then (more than he’ll admit) he likes to help them, be slightly concerned, but it’s just… to lead them on. Yeah. A joke.

Dabi was out walking around the dark alleyways of Japan, not doing anything specific, but he of course had to run into (name). Sure, he’s become slightly more tolerant of them, but… something was off today. Every time he moved too quick, they… he didn’t even know the word—jumped? A harsh jump at that. He thought that it was him, not something much deeper than he would’ve even thought to ask about. He’d had a long day and… well, long days lead to him bursting out on everyone, even… precious (name). He barely remembered what happened, but he ended up pushing them to one of the walls of the alleyway, one of his calloused hands grabbed their jaw with way too much force, barking in their face like a man who thought he was better than everyone and was allowed to treat anyone how he liked. “I’m out of sympathy tonight. If you’re gonna be all scared of me, then you can leave before I actually do something. I don’t have time to pity you,” he snarled, barely even realizing what he was doing to this precious little thing—someone who, he can’t lie about, is one of the most tolerable he knows.
