Day 95
She goes to pull on his arm. "Dabi." Her voice is pleading, "There is something I need to tell you." The whole thing was a whisper.
He stopped in his steps after putting the dish on the table. He noticed her discomfort earlier. Probably at seeing the hero in the villain's den. There was still so much that Ali didn't know or understand about the situation.
She was whispering and had her body turned away from the other people in the room. Indicating that she was trying to get some previously.
"It's about Hawks." Dabi's eyes trail past her and to the man behind that's been like a brother to him in a weird sort of way. He still didn't trust the hero but not trusting family wasn't new to him.
"Hawksies!" He hears the annoyance of Toga entering the room.
The teen villian gasp.. "Hawksie I hope you're here to say sorry for breaking Ali's heart."
What? Dabi's internal voice seethes.
There was silence for a moment. Obviously because mostly everyone was caught off guard.
Toga continues, "But if you guys never broke up. Dabi would never be smitten and the cause wouldn't have their amazing analyst." Bounces to Ali, "And we'd never get to have awesome home cooked meals."
Dabi had to keep quiet his inner thoughts.
Hawks. Fucking bird boy was the reason that his Ali ended up on his doorsteps broken. He had never expected this to hit him.
He had always told himself he'd make the ex suffer for cheating on her and hurting her. Dabi didn't expect the ex to be hawks.
He'd fucking slept and shared sex with the guy and he supposed that he was the one to help with the adventual break up. But Hawks was ultimately the one who made his own choices.
It was noted to Dabi that Hawks had yet to speak and his Tiger had become a soft spoken Kitten. He could read it on her body. How uncomfortable she was.
He wanted to be livid with her. She had become his home. He didn't see it coming but before he knew it she was underneath his skin and claiming his whole being.
And Hawks. He was her poison. And just like that Dabi's defenses had gone up for the woman.
"Birdie, You're a heavy burden to break." Dabi snaked his arm around Ali and brought her in close, keeping his arm lax and making sure to encase and trap her to him while also claim her in front of the hero, "I'm not exactly thrilled to hear that you're the ex boyfriend that couldn't keep his dick in his pants."
He shrugged his shoulders and tighten his grip on Ali, bringing his chin to the top of her head, "But I have to say that I'm grateful you let this one get away." The attention seeking part of himself was showing as he places a kiss on the top of her hair, "She's the best thing that's happened to me."
Dabi cracked at the end. And even though he hated to look weak he knew it slipped at the end. The devil of a woman wrapped her arms around his waist. To also show her claim.
He'd never seen himself in this position before. Having a weakness and the hero in front of him saw the flash. But Dabi wasn't fooled. He saw the flash of envy on the sharp avian's eyes.
"Yeah Man, I should have done better. But I guess I'm just too fast to be in a stable relationship. Sorry about that Ali. But at least I still get to have some of your cooking."
The bird was talking to hide it.
But Dabi saw it. The envy and hurt.
