[ 'ya did good'

really? because itadori was pretty certain he was about to suffocate and fade into the darkness. it's well deserved, for him being impatient and rushing it. aside from the visible tension in his shoulders, and the way he flinched when dabi pushed himself in, those little signs might give a clue on how unprepared he was— and yet, he took it like a champ. the moment dabi's cock slipped out of his lips; a cough followed and a harsh gasp; he then wipes the mess around his mouth and chin with the back of his shaky fingers. now the shock is dulling, a realization of how it actually felt sets in— the hot flush spreading down his throat and chest; eyes glazed in lust.

fuck, it was so lewd. to be taken like this, have dabi manhandle him, grab him by the hair as he fucked him dirty— why is this such a turn on? not that he had much time to ponder about it, as he's being pulled down again, but this time itadori knew what to expect. he would flex his throat, use his tongue to add further friction into that man's thrusts, careful with his teeth. he moaned heavily, muted as always, losing his focus on what he wanted to do for a few seconds as he adapts to all those maddening sensations.

he finally moved his hand, the one spreading spit and slick, pushing his index finger in, blinded whether his approach is excruciating or not, but he keeps going. the middle joins in, way too damn early, forcing its way through those tight rings of muscles in the least mindful manner— he, at least, allows dabi a second to adjust, attentive to any hint of protest before he relaxed them in, working on easing the pressure. if he's honest here, really honest with himself, he doesn't want to. is that awful? he'd want to fuck him raw and right this instant. in the cloud of his horny mind, all he could think about is how tight this man is; it made his own arousal twist in sheer impatience and agony of being neglected for so long. it's like he reached a stage where he's vividly aware of what's happening, and has begun viewing dabi as someone who is willing to cater to his needs. it's daunting— how easy it was to accept the idea of 'he can handle it'.

his jaw aches; hurts so good, from the way dabi is unapologetic in rocking his hips and urging him to swallow him whole with every push. the warmth burns from within, unable to rid of the loud pulsing need. he can't think, simply reacting on impulse. itadori pulls away, voice terribly hoarse as he struggled to catch his breath- ]


Okay, I can't take it anymore ...

[ with a hasty touch, itadori forced dabi to knee his legs up. he bucked his hips, pressed the swelling shape of his prick into the other man's, then swept an arm out, shoving those pesky pillows out of the way as he leveraged the heavy weight of his body, and forced dabi back, pinning him down on the flat mattress with a loud creak; catching his lips in a mad clutch of a kiss.

it was like a switch. actions that portrayed a virgin teen's curiosity altered into something more unabashed. the way itadori's hands fondled with the body underneath him; a knowing, somewhat possessive embrace, callous on his sensitive skin as his nails didn't shy away from leaving its marks. they finally settle on his hips, itadori moved his own to rub the blunt, pre-slicked head of his cock against that same spot, somewhere along their kiss he managed to tug on his pants just enough to expose himself.

with a heavy exhale, he pulls away from the bruising kiss; the line of his face angled so that he could bite into the other man's neck, pinning him in place. he made a low, hungry moan against the fever-hot skin, a harsh reminder of that menacing quirk, clamped his eyes shut while a roll of his hips moved to wedge the head of his arousal past the resistance of dabi's unprepared body. needless to say, there wasn't enough slick, it'd hurt like hell, but that somehow made it better, made his prick twitch when he hadn't even sunk a few inches into the tight, clenching heat of the other man. he bit down, harder, and snapped his hips forward again, more roughly this time. ]

[ it's not a race, huh. what an easy remark to say when you had your share of different sexual experiences along the years with multiple partners. unlike itadori. he couldn't believe what he was missing out on, what he tried to keep himself from doing for a while, and it's certainly no exaggeration when people describe how good it feels to be intimate with someone. dabi is— on another level, though. that man was so ready to handle anything coming his way, and it might be the sexiest perk about him. every single time itadori had an inkling of doubt that he might be crossing a line, dabi encourages him to fucking go for it, either by his words or actions. it's okay to mess up, it's okay to be hasty, it's okay to want to try various things in a disorganized order. it's okay if it hurts like hell.

his passivity is addicting. it's hitting all the right spots, from stroking his ego to sedating his anxieties in one bundle. it's all good, isn't it? they're fine. it's fine. itadori is allowed to try and make mistakes. how else is he supposed to learn?

he flexed his jaw, breaking away from further mutilating the scarred flesh under his teeth, and snapped his hips forward again, more roughly this time. his nails gouge deeper into the skin around dabi's hips, pinning him in place while he worked himself in to the hilt. now— itadori is in total bliss, pure ecstasy; the way those muscles squeezed on his throbbing cock, ruthless, triggering a hot rush of blood down his spine, awakening sensations he never thought he had— dizzy from the brilliance of it all. it's intoxicating; like a beautiful drug. fuck, it's too perfect.

another heavy moan slipped out of his parted lips, his eyes quickly shuttering. he then smeared a few sloppy kisses along dabi's cheek, tried to catch his mouth in between hard breaths. it's way too hot for comfort, from the heat of his own arousal, his short bangs clinging to his sweat-tacky forehead. starving for more out of that man, loving every second of this. ]


Don't let go.

[ he refers to the way dabi's legs curled around him, tilting their hips in a way that made it easier to move inside of him. but, fuck, itadori had another problem. it felt good. no, it felt too good! the type that promised the sorcerer an embarrassing level of poor stamina that will end with dabi mocking him for days. he needs to force himself not to get too riled up, otherwise this will end way too soon— calm down, calm down, calm down!

... yeah, not happening.

when dabi's eagerness reassured him that the other man would take it, no matter how badly it might ache, he slipped one hand between their squirming bodies and held into the villain's cock; trying (failing the first few times) to match the pace of his thrusts while stroking him, reaching that sweet flow. short and shallow at first, and then as his own pre helped to slick the way, the breath-hitching tightness of dabi is unbelievably maddening; the motions became deeper, full, and— brutal. they are truly testing the durability of the bed under their weights, the wooden headboard slammed against the wall as he fucked him. their neighbors might want to switch rooms at this point.

drunk by lust, itadori couldn't keep his eyes open at this point, head dropped low, pressing their foreheads together. he feeds off the way dabi touched him, the raspy tone of his voice, the warmth of his body against his own, how he felt, their closeness— if he's not careful, this whole experience might mature into something else. something more personal, and ... risky. despite all dabi's promises of persuading his goals, devoted to go after his family while being led by an untamed hatred. all those warning signs that begged him not to see this moment of weakness anything more than it is. it's simple: they are using each other. that's all. itadori didn't even notice in the blur of everything that felt so intense ... those black, tattoo-like marks reappeared all over his flustered skin. symmetrical lines that spiral and parallel over his face, shoulders, chest and down to his wrists.

it's still itadori. it's still his voice. but, he's slipping— ]

[ it definitely beats jerking off. whatever the fuck he was doing before is not even worth the analogy; this is beyond what he ever expected. it's so easy to get lost in it, dim everything in the background, and get drifted into a zone where nothing exists but him and dabi. which is the core of all his worries earlier. it brings a halt to a beautiful dream, dragging them into a standoff. how will each person react?

dabi had a fair warning, watched as the teen faltered between going through with it or keep it safe. far too honest to allow the villain to be caught off guard, and his awareness served them well. dabi is smart enough to stay vigilant, to keep an attentive outlook while the sorcerer didn't. in a way, it showed who really is in control, and it isn't itadori.

the harsh bite triggered a small grunt, forcing his heavy lids to open— just enough to peek through dabi's eyes; his own is still a bright shade of amber; the extra pair on each cheekbone isn't. instead, shimmering in red. a bit dumbfounded with the way dabi's legs clasped into him, hindering his movement, urging itadori to slow down until it was too much of a hassle to keep going; stopping altogether. there's a moment of silence, the air between them is heavy— there is no attempt of protests from his side, nor did he ask 'why'. he just ... froze.

dabi's words linger in the back of his mind, slowly shifting his gaze lower, taking note of the man's body language. he's not ... pushing him away, is he? a total switch from how dabi was a while ago; on edge, guard up, and wary of every little step. even when he's given an opportunity to end it all, shove itadori away and call it quits— he didn't do any of that.

his hard, sharp expression slipped a little on the edges. he pressed his lips together- ]


So good ... maybe too good.

[ yes, he's not oblivious of what's going on. it's an odd change in his dynamic with sukuna; a simple explanation would lead to the jarring reminder of this body is no longer his own. it's disheartening in a sense that— something so special to him is being shared. this night with dabi. what that man has given him, all that submission and willingness to allow the sorcerer to take the lead, give in to his desires, all of this ... might be nothing more than a sweet illusion all along. he can subdue the curse back to its domain, it might take him a minute or so, but he's not so far behind to lose full restrain. it was a slip; a mistake in the heat of the moment, but this little stunt left its mark where it hurts.

when this night ends, and he's alone with his thoughts, he'll understand what it truly means— not to have the independence to call something 'mine' anymore. ]


I'll stop ... if you want me to.

[ he bends forward, touched their foreheads together again. lifted a hand, one calloused thumb brushing very lightly over the swell of dabi's lower lip; his own is bruised from the small bite earlier. his toes curl, fighting the burning need to move his hips again, trying not to think about how fucking insane it is to be inside dabi, in the peak of all those raging hormones, yet find himself obliged ( for a good reason) to censor all the natural intuitions and hold still. how the hell is he supposed to calm down like this?

which might explain why it's— taking a bit longer than usual. with a subtle 'ah', itadori realized he should relief the other from his strong hold, letting go of dabi's now blemished hips, only to press his hands against the mattress, on either side of the other man's head— fingers gripping on the bedsheets instead. that's when it hit him- ]


I think ... you'll need to let go.

[ it's not happening. with dabi laying under him, fully naked, squeezing on his arousal as they speak, looking at him the way he did— and he expect itadori to, somehow, not be overwhelmed by it? oh god, this is too much. in a desperate attempt for a distraction from that view, itadori lifts his head up, staring idly at the shabby wall behind them; while the other pair's stare is centered on the villain, unflinching. ]

M-Maybe that's ... as far as we can go?

[ dabi is insane for allowing this, but he— in a fucked up way, knew how to read itadori. there was an unknown enticement that made him gravitate toward the villain from the second they started speaking, despite his past and future ambitions, regardless of all the obvious signs that begged him to turn away and never look back; itadori still persuaded him, unsure why but dabi had an influence over him. its starting to make sense now. dabi encouraged him to make a choice, to lead, taught him it's okay to be selfish, and we should have the freedom to do whatever we want. of course he wouldn't take it to a risky extreme, in the manner dabi navigated his life, but between itadori's reserve and dabi's defiance — there is a middle ground here, one where they can both drop their guard and fucking breathe.

it could be as simple as sharing a homemade meal, or as intimate as having sex. this is their safe space. no judgments, no forced opinions, no pity; a place where they are treated like ... well, humans. ]


Dabi ...

[ it didn't mean any of this is right, especially when dabi retaliated by tugging down on his pants, felt like the biggest 'fuck you' he'd ever seen. before any other word could drop out of his mouth, itadori was caught off guard by the abrupt jerk by the hair, tilting his head into it, while subconsciously pushing himself deeper against the other man. when he realized it was deliberate, and it wasn't a clumsy slip from his side, itadori's cheeks never lost their warmth, but they're certainly a shade darker. he's still— awfully rigid. not really rejecting dabi's advances, not returning them either.

stubborn, he withheld from acknowledging that command. his expression twists into one of discomfort, muscles strained for all the wrong reasons, shoulders quivering from the burden of it all. and then— there's pain? his eyes, all four, watch as his own hand gets consumed by a blue glimmer, searing hot, piercing through the thin layer of skin on the palm of his hand. the voice of reason advised him to yank his hand away, but itadori didn't, even when it hurts like hell. he is oddly pacified by it; all the scattered thoughts fell into a dead hush, and when dabi broke him out of the state of trance he was in— he's finally listening. he's paying attention.

again, itadori found himself being tamed by the other, with only a few words. he was then encouraged to lean closer— lashes hanging low over each eye, sedated by the tone of that man's voice. his fingers, despite the ache, curl against dabi's in a gentle squeeze. finally relaxing, pressing their bodies together, moaning into dabi's mouth as he dared to shift his hips forward; his free hand reached to grasp into the other man's hair. he barely allowed dabi to finish his remarks before he caught his lips again in a sloppy, hungry mess. it didn't linger, and itadori broke it off abruptly, shaking his head. ]


Okay, wait ...

[ for what? god, he's so out of it. half scowling, itadori reckoned if he rushed into it, he will only fuck it up again. sukuna's prints are still all over him, so he had to be careful not to give the curse the edge he's seeking. nice and easy. calm the fuck down, yuji. it was painful to watch the sorcerer go through this, specifically with the way he was watching the man under him; starving. another deep sigh, itadori chose to press his face against the curve of dabi's neck, somewhat embracing him. that's when he started— rocking his hips, hissing under his breath at how torturing it was to hit it slow, but it was also ... so fucking good. damn. even after everything he put him through, dabi is still so tight! every time he thrusts inside of him, he moaned, full-throated, lip-parted, eyes-closed, and almost lost the rhythm of their fucking. it started slow, but who is itadori kidding? it won't last for long, and he's already picking up the pace.

more forceful, harder, deeper—

he saw himself beginning to come apart, licked his lips before he dared to moan the other's name, abdomen clenched tightly as he decided to relief dabi's hair from all that abuse, instead blindly seeking his neglected cock between their bodies. ]

[ somehow, this felt like the last time they could ever be this close, and that thought alone made itadori want to hold on to it a little longer. it was a heavy burden on someone with no stamina and far too eager to begin with. in one point the strain was harsh enough that itadori let out a gruff sound, akin to a growl; shoulders tensed. he never had any complaints about dabi's warmth, understanding it's a reflex to his quirk, but it was inching into the uncomfortable level against his skin now. or, was it his own body? fuck, he didn't even know.

and then dabi had to consume what little trace of stamina he had left, by a few words heavily whispered behind a husky tone; that alone could've made him lose it. every time he thought it couldn't get any better than this, itadori is humbled by another sting, prodding to restructure what he deemed as a pleasuring excitement in his mind, introducing his senses into a whole other epiphany. slick pre-cum leaking from the head of dabi's prick as his hand matched the speed of his thrusts, another throaty growl escaped his lips as he gripped harder into their handhold, unaware of his fucking claws gouging between the other's knuckles; coating them in red.

— and fuck if that forcefulness didn't make itadori weak-kneed, didn't make him stretch up just to catch dabi's mouth in a hot kiss, feeding on it like an animal in heat. he tried to urge the other man's tongue into his mouth, to meet each nip with a few of his own, while he suckled dabi's lower lip before angling his chin up for more wet kisses. he finally released dabi's hand from the gory clasp, only for it to slither between the other man's back and around his waist, gripping their bodies close while he continued to fuck him with brutally hard strokes, withdrawing almost wholly, only the crown of his prick still gripped in dabi's heat, before shoving in to the hilt; as deep as their bodies would permit. the pace was savage, but it was clear he wouldn't last long like this. and yet, itadori plans to take advantage of that man to the last second.

yeah, he reached his limit. all the intensity melted away into pure bliss, his eyes flutter, rolling into the back of his skull as his vision blurred a little between the intense hotness spreading throughout him all. he made a soft, strangled sound while he came, and worked through it in a few, far slower, waning thrusts— spreading his mess inside of dabi and all over the bedsheets.

he might apologize later for it. maybe.

for a moment, he was so blinded by the raw ecstasy; a drunk-like smile paints his feverish face. he muttered something disordered, but it's evident itadori is in some kind of high, head above the clouds with how amazing everything felt.

the marks begin to wither away, those pair of eyes return to their slumber as the sorcerer eased into it. despite it all, he never once neglected dabi. if anything, with a clear mind, appreciating the view hits different now. he knew he's fucked the minute his eyes caught the others; aware that this image will be stuck in his head for a long, long time. ]

[ it was not his intention to stare, but he couldn't be bothered to conceal it as well, lashes low, blinking slowly as one corner of his mouth hooked up into a slow smile. fucking hell, yuuji. at least try not to look like a lovestruck fool. he exhaled a puff of breath, his features slack, exhausted. his hair sweat-damp and clinging to his yet feverish skin. he didn't move to pull out; just let his prick go soft inside the other man— still enchanted by dabi's vulnerability. with a soft sigh, he tilts his head to the side as he raised his other hand, mindful not to use the one covered in cum, reaching up to touch dabi's cheek- ]

You're ... [ fingers cradle into the curve of his flesh, using his thumb to lightly brush over dabi's lower lip. and at that moment, the wheels in itadori's foggy mind started spinning, and he grasped that he's ... smearing blood all over the villain's face? fumbling on his words at the horror of it. ] ... uhh?

[ what.

dumbfounded, he spends a second flexing his tainted fingers for a better view, baffled on what the fuck happened? where did all this blood come from? a blink, then his gaze shifts to where dabi's hand rests on the bed, finally noticing those small, open wounds. it's coming to him now, and he groaned soon after. ]


Sorry. My bad.

[ while he does feel guilty, itadori is not dwelling on it either. dabi isn't someone who needed coddling. this type of trauma isn't something that would startle him, even when the sorcerer isn't so keen to pull this shit again. it earns him an apology, a sincere one, in spite of itadori doing it while smirking; the expression vaguely, helplessly fond. with one hand covered in cum, the other in blood— he had to admit that he fucked up in some areas, but it was still the best night of his chaotic life. that says a lot. finally, he pulls away, giving in to exhaustion as he collapsed on the other side of the bed, next to dabi, resting on his back.

he turns his head to face the villain. while the idea of dabi walking out of the door without saying another word is a huge likelihood, it didn't mean itadori is discouraged. if anything, there is no sense of urgency from his end, more content in sharing space and being next to him a bit longer. he will not force the other into anything, that's for sure, but what's the harm in reaching out? itadori persuaded him before, and he will do it again. ]


Dabi.

[ he'd wait for his attention, to meet those eyes again, and when he gets it. ]

Let's spend the night here.

Because I want to.

[ no, it wasn't a sassy comeback; it was itadori's genuine answer. he would like to believe dabi is the type who wouldn't tolerate someone who's tiptoeing around his words and dragging it, coming off as dishonest and fickle. it's the first thought that came across his mind, and it is his first confession without any filter. regardless, the flow of his speech, and the easy smile on his lips promised dabi no obligation. not that the villain would break under peer pressure, far too strong-hearted to be easily influenced by a few sweet words, but he still didn't want to sound so — forceful. even when he is. itadori won't deny it, unbothered if it's not the perception of a hero-wannabe, to be so selfish by making this relationship one-sided. to keep asking more from dabi; more time, more attention, more favors.

'because I want to' — while it's candid, subtle, it's also very covetous. a fine thin line between two extremes.

itadori flexed his arms up, still lightheaded in the bliss of their afterglow. he then shrugged his shoulders, both hands resting on his abdomen; unmindful of their mess. ]


I always ... wanted to know what's it like to share a bed with someone. It might sound silly, but it means a lot to me.

[ another confession. there was also a nagging sense of uncertainty prickling at the back of his head, a reminder not to get too comfortable. itadori didn't have the freedom to wander on his own, seek refuge outside the walls of his school. he shouldn't be here, let alone risk getting caught breaking the rules. that's one, and the other reason, which is more obvious— dabi isn't harmless. to assume he earned his unwavering trust would be foolish. even for itadori.

and yet, he's still ... going to persuade him. as always. ]


So, can we do this?

[ itadori's breath felt stuck in his throat, too shallow. there's something about that question that caught him off guard, even when it was a typical conversation to get into after what they've done. he turns his head, staring up at the ceiling as he reflects on their first experience together; every second of it. a casual 'felt great!' is an insult— it was so much more. he just needs to find the right words.

he then shifts slowly, moving to sit up on where he's settled. by now all the warmth in his body is subdued, no longer flustered. itadori is sober enough to assure his words are honest, and not speaking out of emotions. ]


For a moment, I wanted to stop ... because it didn't feel like it was my own experience anymore. I thought I had no right to call it 'mine'. So ... I can't express how much I appreciate it when you reassured me that I'm all you see. It's still just you and me.

[ if the events unfolded differently, they wouldn't be sharing a space right now. it might be a simple reason to trigger such a reaction, but how could he not be heartsick after it? the prospect to be intimate with that man was unplanned for, to be able to take the lead, be in control and hold onto it as his own. something that belonged to him— and for it to be taken away would've been so painful after getting a taste of rare independence. itadori couldn't remember the last time he had a voice, or wasn't told what to do and where to go. while he never complained, nor did he find any wrong in the process— it still had an influence on him. a heavy burden on his shoulders; paralyzing.

dabi gave him everything he subtly craved for. reassurance, a warm body, pleasure, safety— acceptance.

he smiled, leaning forward just a little, and let one hand between them glide down, fingertips brushing dabi's hair away from his forehead. he'll apologize for smudging it in blood later. ]


It was special to me. You made it special to me, and it felt ... amazing.

[ he huffed a chuckle. what? he's allowed to share that side of their time together as well. the emotional aspect is covered, and now he will move on to the physical. which itadori felt more at ease covering this side of his answer. ]

You know, I never thought it could get that good? It was insane! Ah, I wish I had more stamina since I wanted to last longer. But it was impossible! You felt too good! And oh, I might have a thing with using my mouth ... I really enjoyed that part ...

[ a pause- ]

Maybe it wasn't the best for you, since you had your share of different partners. So, I'll help you clean up and attend to your wounds. You're still bleeding ...

I'm glad I said it, then.

[ dabi deserves to hear it, not for the sake of stroking his ego, but more of itadori trying to create some balance in contrast to all the negativity that man heard throughout his entire life. true, dabi is no saint. he is worth condemning, hating, and being feared by society for his past actions. there are consequences for the choices he made, but how can we neglect the key question of 'what went wrong?'. the broadcast begged its viewers to ask this question, even when dabi's objective isn't to seek sympathy; it was more of crushing the trust on heroes. one might say he attained that goal, or maybe it was a miss. it didn't matter to itadori. in the end, he chose to use it as a foundation in understanding that man better.

he is not— malicious? when they coexist outside their ideology, dabi's ambitions and itadori's society, he gets to see someone else entirely. it's not an infamous villain and a murderer. it's just ... dabi. there is more to him than his troubled past and enmity towards heroes. why can't they separate the actions from the person? and with such a fond thought, his following words missed to match. ]


I used to jerk off. I have some experience, you know!

[ why did he even share that out loud? he squints at the other, lowkey blaming him for the slip because he can! his expression eased when dabi confessed that he wouldn't forget about their time together and— really, it's his fault if this kid grew attached to him. for someone who didn't know the art of being bashful and chill, itadori straightened his back with a smug grin on his face. ]

Not so bad for your first time, Itadori Yuji! Not so bad.

[ before dabi could take this moment from him, the sorcerer pushed his weight off the bed, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he flexed his sore muscles. he stretched his arms forward, held it for a second, before they drop dead to each side with a heavy sigh. if he had a choice, he'd rather curl up against dabi's warmth, nestle under the blanket and surrender to his exhaustion. that sounds so tempting. alas, being covered in dried sweat/blood/cum didn't fit that perfect image. it is fated to ruin the mood at some point.

so, he nods towards the bathroom's door- ]
You're right about the medical kit, so let's just rinse out the blood and clean up at the same time.

[ after everything they've done, sharing a shower is pretty timid. ]

[ it's his turn to give a dismissive shrug of his shoulders. itadori had accepted not being the smartest guy in the room, and would often express annoyance when his opponent aims for the head. as if he needed any further incitement to be dumber than he already is. well, at least he won't worry about dabi going for his head, assuming he's not fan of throwing fists to begin with. he'll just— focus on not getting burned alive. yes. ]

I have, but I'm not good at it.

[ at least he's honest?

itadori isn't the type to pay attention to details, and when it comes to treating his own injuries, he's pretty negligent of following the necessary, tedious steps. all that matters is that he stops the bleeding, gives his body no excuse to lose consciousness, and then moves on with his day. when it's the other way around, and he's treating others— it's a different story. ah, the hypocrisy. in dabi's case, the lack of proper tools made it hard to clean those open wounds, make sure they won't get infected before applying the bandages. they will have no choice but to rinse them under the shower, and then scorch them shut.

he watched as the other man switched on the shower; observed as the water came gushing out, the pressure is average, but it's surprisingly clear. itadori half-expected to deal with an odd color, mixed with dirt and gunk— considering the low budget of this motel. as they wait for it to warm up; a few lazy steps brought him closer, arms finding their way around dabi's waist from behind, bodies pressed against each other. itadori kept his gaze on the running water, resting his chin on the man's shoulder as he spoke. ]


... This place is falling apart.

[ not only they can see the old age of the building from the poor structure of the bathroom walls, but it's also evident they haven't cleaned it after the previous guests. then again, he won't bitch about it. if it's the only place dabi felt safe in, where no one would recognize him, it's good enough. he leans his head against dabi's as he held him, eyes closed. itadori didn't let him go, not until the steam started fogging the small space, and that's when he finally relaxed his arms; reaching out to adjust the temperature before he, carefully, stepped under the warm flow.

there is barely room for another person here, but— whatever. ]


I have a feeling we gonna' run out of hot water soon ...

[ he wouldn't be surprised if dabi decided to elbow his gut, very much aware this isn't something he would encourage. it's evident by now, regardless of itadori's good intent, he is also greedy. one might say a bit pushy as well, but never forceful. it's true there's something about the other man's attention that's almost addictive, captivating— it beckoned itadori in, giving him a false sense of entitlement. he should be careful about that.

it's a tad cramped, making it hard for them to avoid each other's eyes. it wasn't awkward, oddly so, itadori found comfort in their silence as they cleaned up. he didn't reach for the bar of soap yet, instead settling on caressing his hands under the stream; rinsing them. he wasn't even aware on when his gaze started to drift lower, tipping his head with a subtle frown when those blemishes on dabi's hips caught his attention. let's add another note: be careful with your strength next time.

— next time? ah, he wondered if that's possible under their circumstances. they were merely lucky tonight. ]


I think we should talk about boundaries. [ he finally broke the peace. ] I think we both agree on keeping our own affairs private. It's a pretty easy agreement to make since we don't clash.

[ this triggered a random thought in the back of his mind, something he'd been considering for a while. he had a feeling the hero society might be aware of jujutsu sorcerers since the japanese government is involved. it's a wild guess, from a kid who didn't have the brains to defend his theory. he just assumed the government wouldn't gamble on keeping the heroes, which is another significant asset to them and their security, oblivious by other threats within the community, right? would that mean some villains are aware of it too?

for now, he didn't need to repeat himself and express his opinion of dabi's part in the hero/villain friction. or, remind him that he— wish to be blinded of it. itadori felt like a coward to act this way, pay no attention towards a man who is motivated to ruin many lives, spread fear and animosity. it won't be easy, yet it's a promise he plans to keep. ]


I'll ask for one thing. Give me a heads-up if you choose to stop seeing me. Don't disappear.

[ was it a cruel judgment to make of dabi? that man spent most of his life on the run, leaving people behind who are deemed useless, and just because he was kind to itadori tonight— it didn't mean he wouldn't be treated the same. as someone expendable once the curiosity lost its spark. itadori is not here to entertain, carry a show for the sake of keeping dabi interested. all he can offer is a warm meal, friendly company, and lend an ear. pretty mundane things. not dabi's type.

with the bar of soap squished between his hands, he lathers them up; his mouth quirks. ]


Let me guess your boundaries. No fluffy feelings, right?

[ 'it's not cowardice so much as choosing the devil he knew over the devil he didn't.' this. this right here— is why he's already attached. dabi gets him without spoken words. within their silence, he understood itadori's dreads, didn't mock him for it. in dabi's nonchalant behavior, it had less bite into it and more leniency. the changes aren't insignificant either, as he's no longer making excuses and instead consoled to be open about what he wants. the threat persists, itadori's careful, but no longer fearful. that's saying a lot. ]

We deserve to hear a goodbye, right?

[ while it was tempting to use that opportunity to change dabi's mind, because itadori is fucking selfish and wouldn't want to respect that man's wishes if that time comes— but he knew that's not how it works between them. they are both gambling with their lives every single day, they both had purposes that are deemed far more important than chasing some fever dream. however, if they somehow make it, if dabi didn't grow tired of him before his execution date, or didn't end up dead himself, itadori will dare to call it a happy ending.

the water started losing force, and it is also losing its warmth. it's mildly bothersome, yet itadori is sedated as he watched their hands brush against each other; one corner of his mouth perked up into a slow smile. smitten. sure, it was a tease, those fluffy feelings. or, that's what he thought the second he said it. now that he thinks about it, staring down at his own hands as he missed dabi's touch— he realized it was a reflection on what his subconscious is already aware of. ]


... I don't expect you to return it. You really can't force that kinda thing ...

[ as dabi continued clarifying his other boundaries, itadori thought about what kind of feelings he had for dabi. was it romantic? is it a silly crush? no. those concepts seemed far too empty. the guilt he carried by turning a blind eye to the villain's resolve might have to do more than his fear for the innocent civilians. there is a sense of culpability towards the man before him. it's like watching someone you care about self-destructing, digging his own grave, and all you can do is shrug it off and declare 'it's not my problem'. how can guilt and attachment harmonize together so perfectly?

that's when the water's temperature begun to drop; not yet freezing, but very uncomfortable. itadori glanced toward the other, sighing softly. if they had the option, he would've wanted to attend to his hair as well, but he's fine with getting all the dried mess taken care of for now. he brought a hand up to smooth over a scarred cheek, lightly curling a few hair strands behind dabi's ear as he leaned in for a chaste kiss; nothing more than a brush of their lips. ]


Got it. When you're not so busy, return my calls then. Don't just stare at your notification and do nothing.

[ he then turns to the side, careful with his balance as he stepped out of the shower and reached for the towel. it looked ... decent? no visible stains. let's not try to inspect if it's clean enough, or smell it, he'll just — take a leap of faith and start drying himself; attending to his drenched hair first and then down to his arms and shoulders. he's not dismissive of dabi, if anything, he kept his focus on him the whole time. he wondered if he's bothered by the cold water at all — or is it another blessing of his quirk? ]

yay ;u;
