[In an ideal world he'd have just one child. One with Touya's drive and determination, Natsuo's natural physical strength, Fuyumi's kindness and intelligence, and..the very reason Dabi can't stand his youngest brother, his quirk. He feels bad even having the thought to reduce them all to a single good quality when they have so many others, but stray thoughts always hound him. There'd be time to feel guilty about it later.
Right before bed, the time when all of his poor decisions come back to haunt him.]
I hate to ruin your fun, but you do know how children are made, right?
[Enji knows Dabi knows, he's just being a dick because he can get away with it at the moment. They've got a mutual interest in not being detected. He doesn't know how to compartmentalize his emotional baggage the way Dabi can, but most of the time he can put things on the back burner to focus on something else--namely, work. Right now he has no such distraction, just Dabi's attention and scrutiny. It's only a matter of time before he fucks things up royally, so what difference does it make if he acts like he already has.]
Don't be close-minded. You don't have to be physically strong to be powerful. [Though, it really does help.] You're not weak, you have too many of my qualities to ever be. And look how powerful your quirk is. [Having abs or massive biceps didn't matter at the end of the day. He's about to point out how different things are now compared to when he was a baby, but holds back at that last comment. It may come off as condescending.
What's a DILF?
[There are times like this where his age shows. His age and lack of social awareness. Enji's entire world is work, and when he often ditches interviews in favor of more work, or avoids people because he doesn't need friends, it means he doesn't get out much. Despite knowing so much about how to do his job he doesn't know much else about "normal" things. Shouto has the same problem but at least he has a tight circle of friends now so he won't end up as bad as Enji.]
I'll be your punching bag until you get bored of it. [It's not a joke, just the truth. There has to be a point where it ends, right? He returns to his duffle bag, pushing aside very few clothing items to take out a couple jumbo packages of instant ramen. Enji sets those aside to get to two small boxes on the bottom.]
It's bento. From Fuyumi. Before you complain, she didn't know I was leaving. She drops them off every day, or has someone else do it if she doesn't have time. You can have the fresher one. [He hands one off to Dabi, inside should be a good mix of assorted food, the lower layer is rice with two additional layers on top. Definitely too much food for a child, and possibly for most adults, but Enji usually has an appetite.]
