The Last Night (Patreon)

„Have i ever talked about my quirk? “ 

“huh?” your boyfriend Dabi gave you a dumbfounded look 

You smiled 

He will not understand 

He cannot understand 

Up until now the two of you had spent an amazing night out 

Due to civil unrest in kamino ward the police had been busy for days now

Allowing you and the rest of the league to roam free at least for now 

As shigarakia had put it 

“If we lay low enough for them to do their silly little riot we will be forgotten until this blows over so no crimes and enjoy being a normal civilian for the time being” 

Of course toga hated that but her boyfriend kept her in check 

Especially since this was such a special occasion 

Tomura wasn’t often the kind of leader to give such a mature order 

And tonight was a strange occasion 

Dabi and you had been out on the town drinking

Having fun 

Because tonight was the night you would leave him 

Hopefully 

Not for long 

You two had found yourself on top of one of the many sky scrapers 

The skyline of the city creating a breath taking colorful neon background 

You took a step back to give him a sweet smile 

“What are you talking about?” he gruffed at you 

“It hurts you know” 

He took a few steps forward to lean over the railing 

Deciding to let you tell him at your own pace 

Suddenly 

A single drop of water landed on his leather jacket 

And he looked up 

“Its gonna rain … probably should head inside” 

“No we shouldn’t” you giggled 

His gaze went over to you 

You twirled around 

Seemingly trying to catch as much rain as possible

He walked closer to you smile on face 

“How about a dance?” 

Once again you giggled 

As he took your hands 

The rain picked up 

Creating a chaotic rhythm 

Soon you found yourself pressed against his chest 

You were in an almost dream like state 

The colors of the city merging together as the rain fell onto your eyes 

“Why do you love me?” you whispered into his scarred ear 

He thought for a moment 

Muscles remaining in a relaxed state while he was cartoonishly thinking out loud however he noticed you felt lighter then you were a moment ago

“You are my pixie dream girl … always your head in the clouds I don’t even know why you hang with us” he chuckled

“with your attitude you could be a hero but you dine with the bad guys” 

“I love you dabi” you mumbled loud enough for him to hear 

The rain by now had soaked both of you completely 

“So what was this about your quirk earlier?” 

His words made you drift into an abyss of emotions 

You stared at an undefined spot behind him 

Before you began

“When I was just a little girl”

You took a deep breath

“I died when my quirk manifested without me knowing” 

He slowly let go of you while his face turned into questioning grimace 

“I knew you wouldn’t understand silly just let me finish”

You gently rubbed your hand against his cheek

“My quirk killed me but my quirk is what’s keeping me alive”

You wrapped your body closer around his before continuing 

“I remember it only vaguely but I think me and my parents went to the doctor because I couldn’t feel pain”

Dabi didn’t know what to think 

For the first time in his life he was speechless

“My heart didn’t beat my body was cold … so cold”

You didn’t know if the water in your eyes was from tears or the rain 

You felt his arms tighten around you

“One day by body turned to ash and that was when my quirk activated

I was alive and yet I was not

My quirk

Is called

The shape

It is a formless mass made up of my memories feelings and personality”

He chuckled 

But it sounded more like a choke 

“So what does this have to do with us?”

You gave a somber giggle 

“My quirk is called the shape in my other form I can enter a person’s body

Then my memories and personality over write the original persons self

Technically it isn’t murder but also it is … you see”

You sighed

“My quirk sucks out the body it is in mummifying it over time 

I thought since this girl im currently inside of could survive longer 

Her quirk is called nourish allowing her to take nourishment from any source of food 

This includes even inedible things but alas I can feel this body won’t be long for this world” 

Dabi whimpered

“But you will come back to me right?”

“A downside to all this … I guess this is nature’s way of killing me eventually is that the longer I am without a body the more memories I lose” 

You felt a sting inside your chest upon saying that

“If I can’t find a suitable body I will just vanish into nothingness” 

Dabi shivered 

He could not imagine the horror you must feel in this moment 

“So in a way im a villain for selfish reasons … I want to make many memories 

To increase the time I can look for a body I like”

A sad chuckle left your lips

“I don’t even remember if I was a boy or a girl … my real name … where I was born not even who my parents were” you chuckled

“I only know that I prefer live as a girl so I choose girls over boys”

An intense pain made itself known to you and slowly you began losing the feeling in your limbs

“I love you dabi but I feel this is it” 

“No…” 

Finally you could muster the courage to look at him

“it isn’t you fault its my fault” you said

“no that’s 

That’s not fair I there must be something I can do”

you ruffled through his hair 

you would miss that until you would forget 

“there is no guarantee I will return what if I forget you? What if you moved on when I find a body? What if I vanish into the cold embrace of death”

his arms tighten more 

it was starting to become hard to breath

He was hoping if he just held onto you hard enough 

you could stay 

“its not your fault dabi” you repeated

“you have been a gentleman to me … kind … compassionate”

“compassionate is something virgins tell guys they freindzone” he grumbled 

“I love you” he said with more power in his voice 

As if saying this would make you not destroy this vessel you are in 

Suddenly your body surged with pain 

And you gasped

“NO DON’T GO!” 

He pressed his head into your chest 

“please…” you whispered weakly

“Don’t let me go” 

He felt your hand rub over his back one last time 

“I will wait for you” he cried into your crumbling chest 

“I will wait until the end of the world” 

Your mouth formed the words

“it hurts” but no sound was leaving you throat 

It had already turned to dust 

He remained like this 

Holding your clothes 

Only now allowing himself to cry 

That was until he felt a presence behind him 

And he turned to see

A white mist had formed next to him

It had a vague human shape 

Something that seemed like arms were outstretched

He put the cloths on the ground and stood up 

After he raised his own arms the shape came closer 

Embracing him 

He felt 

Something 

He wasn’t sure if it was a good feeling or a bad feeling 

But he knew one thing 

That right now 

The thing in his arms 

Was you 

A weightless mist 

Made up of nothing but memories 

Tears rolled down his face

As he realized

This right here was him hugging you 

The real you

For the first time 

And then

You were gone 

With quivering lips he walked up to the railing of the rooftop 

Desperalty searching

And somewhere he though he could make out a somewhat human shaped cloud floating in-between cars 

4 weeks passed

Dabi was lying on the sofa in the leagues headquarters 

Is head clouded from alcohol 

The stuff was slowly becoming less and less powerful 

The empty bottles towered on the small coffee table next to him 

Shaking dangerously whenever someone moved too close to them

Toga sat on the floor next to dabi 

Chewing on her lower lip

Her boyfriend the media called the unbroken 

Was sitting at the bar drinking some drink korogiri mixed for him 

Dabis body suddenly shook up

and took looked at him

“is she back yet” 

“no” toga said with a straight face 

“I want her bag toga” 

The younge girl jumped on her feet 

And looked down on dabi

“what do you want from me?” 

With the speed of a snake dabi was on his knees clutching togas shirt 

“I WANT HER BACK TOGA I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT HER!” 

He shook her 

“TELL ME SHE COME BACK PLEASE JUST … JUST SAY MAYBE PLEASE I NEED I NEED TO HEAR IT”

Toga looked at her boyfriend who was looking at them

He simply nodded at her before returning to his alcohole

Careful 

Gentle 

She comped through is hair 

“Maybe …” she said 

“there is hope she will come back” 

“you think” he cried 

“yes!” she said in a cheerful tone 

His grasp weakened 

As he slumped back onto the sofa 

“Has he fallen asleep?” asked korogiri 

“mhm” was togas reply 

The girl was just about to leave dabis side 

When comeing from the entrance a sudden knock echoed through the room
