Note, this is a rehab au where Dabi was captured after the second war as well as all of the league, and you, he’s burns didn’t advance as far as in canon, staying with this season five burns.

Touya stirred next to you in bed as you tossed and turned in bed, whimpering out his name. Not his name, but his old name. The name he went by while still being an active villain, Dabi. You were crying out Dabi, the name he used to terrorise millions. His chest stung with hurt, an emotion he hadn’t felt, or rather ignored for years now. He couldn’t imagine what you were dreaming about but by your distressed whimpers and cries he knew it couldn’t be bad, he just hoped his name was being called for help, and not out of fear.

Touya let out a shaky breath and turned in bed, moving a hand to push your hair from your forehead, now slick with sweat. He started to tense up and overthink more and more as he you continued. What if you were scared of him? What if you hated him? What if you were worried he’d hurt you one day? He hated being vulnerable, and yet he allowed himself from you, to make sure you were okay. He cupped your cheek with his hand, giving it the gentlest squeeze as he spoke. His voice was strained and gentle, holding back the anxiety he was feeling over the fact you might be scared of him, calling out his name in fear.

“..hey, bluebird.. wake up, it’s just a bad dream..” He leaned in close as he spoke, gently rubbing his thumb over your cheek bone before placing a kiss to your temple, pained by your cries.
