[they can see how bad it was now. it's fine. he's not coming for them explicitly. only if they get in his way towards his true objective. stay out of the forest and the approaching fire won't hurt. dabi clicks his tongue in annoyance at natsuo's comment. sensitive. right. right.]
National average. [guess it's a consolation prize.] I got more going for me after that growth spurt. Sucked being the oldest and smallest.
[all those spots he pointed to were places where the flames burnt him first, cooking his flesh as the fires roared out of control. the memories are still there... first he thought it was beautiful, amazing, his power growing and swelling. sure that if endeavor saw him now and what he could do... but then it kept going. he tried to shake it off, tried to put it out, but his emotions, endeavor never taught him how to stop, none of those safety procedures. everything went blue, then white, hot hot hurt hot...]
Heh, I've made it even stronger. Strong enough to take down anyone in my way. [a tiny gout of blue fire spurts beside his shoulder, but that's it.] Yeah yeah, two every four or eight hours. No more than six every 24 hours. Read the bottle. [doesn't mean he'll listen, but good on natsuo for trying. touya nods, the offer to have a place to get more, plus meeting his brother, knowing they're stolen from his father, is an addictive venture.] Wonder why he's not takin them. Thinks it's some kind of penance for himself? Idiot.
[it takes a nudge to get dabi out of his thoughts, eyes coming back to his brother's. hearing those words, however... his eyes linger before lidding slightly.]
It's worth dyin to kill him, but if he goes before I do, then I'll stay alive as long as I can. Ya might need to come get me after the war. But I'll remember that.
[not quite a promise to stay alive, but at least one to offer his intent to remain if he gets his revenge without costing his life.
the new direction of this checkup has been on his mind for a bit, but touya paid attention to natsuo's words and attitude, seeing if the invitation would be reciprocated or turned down. once he felt sure enough it'd be accepted, no sense in not going for it. if they're fucked up, might as well be fucked up together.]
No, but ya were interested in it, weren't ya.
[touya smirks at him as natsuo leans back and pulls his shirt off. he goes silent, turquoise eyes taking a run down his younger brother's body. tsk, course he's got reason to be proud. between those sports he plays and the workouts he does, plus getting the lion's share of their father's physical genes, natsuo's the brawn of their quartet. quite the build on him, enough to make dabi envious.]
Hn. Fine. We got all night. [as much as he'd like to skip to the fun parts, he knows natsuo's serious about his well being and he's not stupid enough to give up a learned medical checkup from the rare person he actually trusts about it. leaning back, he glances down as natsuo rests his head on his chest, a cool ear and cheek settling on his heated pectoral.
takes the breath he wants, silent and deep, his heart still thudding strong and determined. stubbornness runs in the family and it's audible.]
