I'm In Love With A Burnt Chicken Nugget

Shigaraki's POV

It's early in the morning, the sun has risen and I am still dead inside. It's been a week since Toga captured Shinso, and everyday I've been trying to get him to join us. I get out of my bed only to find most of my blanket is ash. I forgot to put my gloves on last night. I put them on and grab the vacuum I keep in my room.

Once I'm done cleaning up my room and throwing on a hoodie and jeans I make my way to the makeshift kitchen we set up. In our line of "work" we only buy (or steal) things we can make portable. Dabi was on the futon eating some cold soba. He refuses to eat it hot or even a little warm. Never told us why. Toga is nowhere around but she usually ran off somewhere to take a shower or cause mayhem. I sigh. I pop in some toast.

"Dabi have you been in to check on Shinso? I heard a loud noise last night and I want to make sure he's not injured or anything." I said, grabbing my toast and crunching on that. Twice walks in the room.

"The prisoner is fine! Unfortunately… No, we like him. He's nice. No he's rude and ungrateful for all that we've done for him. Well we did kidnap him!..." He walks off talking to himself. Dabi shakes his head and in doing so one of his staples, or piercings pop out. He hisses. It's never a fun feeling for him.

I make my way over, picking up the silver sliver. He looks away from me, embarrassed that it happened in front of me.

"I can do it…" He says, still not meeting my eyes. I know he can but it's easier and less painful for me to do it for him.

"I know, now look straight forward." I say. He does so and holds his mouth shut. Grabbing the table to help ease the pain. I ease it back in. He has them to help attach his skin grafts to his actual skin. He can only use his quirk on the skin grafts because they don't have nerve endings. His quirk is too hot for his actual skin to handle without burning. Sometimes the grafts get too burnt and infected and we have to put him under and replace them. Even though he's a handful and often gets angry we all love him.

"There, all done." I say when I'm finished, he gives me a 'thank you' nod. I go back to my now cold toast. I look at him, and his jawline, and his messy hair. Today I'll ask him out. But, if he says no, it'll be awkward. How do you tell someone you'd commit many felonies for them? I'll start off small.

"So…. Dabi, do you have anything planned today?" I asked a small question. None that would hint at anything else other than friendly conversation. Between two pals. Ones that cradle each other in the middle of the night during break downs. And dye each other's hair. And have killed for each other. Guys being dudes.

"I have a date with Hawks today." He said, glowing. Hawks…. I forgot about him. The guy who stole Dabi from me, the one using him to get information on us. Toga, Twice and I have all tried to explain this to him but he's too love struck to listen to us. I'm filled with rage at the thought of Dabi getting used by a hero to get information.

I yank off my glove and grab the stupid toaster. The one that never cooks the toast right and the one I'm going to take all my anger out on. I threw it at the wall but before hitting it, it turned to dust. Dabi rolls his eyes at me and I storm off to my room. I can't deal with my emotions right now. I snatch up my glove, shoving it back on.

I pull my new blanket out of the closet. I always have spares, in case. I roll myself up into a burrito and double check that I have both my gloves on and relinquish myself to sleep. Dreaming of me and Dabi taking over the world and being kings.
