( he could lose it, like this. it wouldn't be bakugou's fault, though he would want to blame him for it--it wouldn't be his fault, but he would scream at him anyway, contriving and creating an argument just to feel something, just to try to escape the sensation. the arms up around him, wrapped along his shoulders, fingers tense in his hair, make him nearly feel like he's suffocating; has anyone ever held him that close, ever touched him like that, ever pulled him in against them like he could be comforted? surely there had been times that his mother had tried, but he had hated it, and hated her, and hated that pathetic sort of babying, the kind that said she would be more afraid of him than anything else, like appealing to his ego might help protect her from his scorn.

bakugou doesn't touch him like that, but if there's anything his body remembers, it's muscle memory: and it climbs up inside of his throat, and inside of his chest, and he wants to plant him down onto the floor and hold him at a distance, keep him from breathing on him, breathing with him, keep him at a safe and respectable length.

keep everything from bleeding together. keep them from bleeding together. the thought is sickening, like some sort of disgusting prank: how could either of them ever get to that kind of point, together? the whole point of this had been the fact that it could be sex and nothing else; he doesn't feel anything anymore, and bakugou is too stupid or too prideful or too disgusted himself to try. what sort of hero would want to fuck around with a villain, to start, but what sort of hero might feel something for a villain? fucking pathetic.

he probably doesn't. it's just sex. sex, and snarling, and the pant of bakugou's breath as he pushes inside, the stammering, thick murmur of his words, his demands, his gratification; it's slow, too slow to really drive bakugou to his limits, and by now, he's probably pushed past that too-close pain and has instead dived right into the intense boundaries of pleasure, swimming within its fences. frustrated, he lets out a curse, the thick of it falling against bakugou's ear; they're so fucking close it's uncomfortable, their bodies wrapped up, bakugou's ankles locked, his hands, his mouth, his voice, his breath-- )


Shut the fuck up. ( it's not really a command, not really a complaint, either: no one's home this time, so he doesn't have to jam his fingers over bakugou's mouth to keep him quiet; it's mostly just against the taunt that bakugou could go all night like this--sure, he might last awhile, but he doesn't think it would be all night. ) Gonna...piss me off...

( it's a threat that he only half-means: already he's rubbing his hips in, burying himself in further, deeper, all the way to the end; his balls press, smashed in against bakugou's ass, and rather than pull himself back, rather than work into that slow rhythm, he stays there, rutting into him, pushing when there's nothing else left to push. their bodies rock together, sliding the rug beneath them back and forth against the tile--all he gets is heat, and all he gets is the steady pulse of the head of his dick there, rubbing into tight, constrictive pleasure; he definitely thinks he's just gonna lose it, and whether that's his cool or his temper or his sanity, it's hard to say. everything's so fucking tight here, and they're so fucking close here-- )

Fuck. ( a hiss, dripping with intensity against bakugou's ear, where his face is still buried in, hidden against him--his hips stutter in again, a little wilder, a little less composed, a little less worried about how he's not giving bakugou any room to breathe. ) Fffuck. You're so fucking tight...

( it feels like a finger, pressing on a bruise. he can't precisely remember how that feels, though he had a ton of them, bumps and bruises and burns from training and playing and doing everything in his power to try to find that depth of power inside of him, to try to pull it all out, splay it out in front of his father as though that would mean something. as though he could pull out his insides and lay them all out and then there, that would be enough: that would be enough to become enough.

pushing at a bruise, picking at a scab, pulling at skin until it bleeds: having bakugou wrapped around him like this is just the same. he pushes so far into the unpleasant, sickening lurch at being this damn close to someone that he can feel their breath and feel their sweat and feel their body move in tandem with his own; he pushes into it so far that he gets past that feeling, gets past that disgust, gets past that horror. at some point, it becomes nothing but the pleasure in it: a shared pursuit, one of the only ones they'll ever agree on.

because that's what it is, in the end. it's sex, sex and snarling, yes, sex and bakugou's breath panting at him, sex and bakugou's voice taunting him, sex and bakugou's legs wrapped up around him and his arms around him and his dick smearing precum between them, eager and desperate for that cliff he's driving them over. no airbags and no coming back from the impact. and is it a little crazy, to think there's even more to get to? to keep pushing on it, keep pressing forward, keep rutting into his ass like he can get any deeper, like he can somehow find the strings that connect them, there, even though he doesn't want to be connected at all? what the fuck kind of fucked up feeling is that, to want to be close to someone? when has that ever worked out for anyone at all? bakugou might be clinging to him now, and he might be enamored with him now, and he might be desperate for him now, but all that is about the sex, about the release, about the tension.

and he's gonna lose it first, and he fucking hates that.

his chin ducks, a hissing breath against bakugou's ear that ends up smothered down into his neck, his shoulder, ends up smothered where his teeth skim and bite and pull at bakugou's skin, marking him up as he mouths his way back to his ear; he's still pressing into him, rocking them together like they're one unit, and the way those muscles go tight and slack and tight and slack around his dick drives him so close to orgasm that he has to close his teeth around bakugou's ear just to keep from yelling in frustration. not everything is as dulled as he wants it to be, and not everything is as dead as he wants it to be, either. )


Fuck off. ( to the point about his dick, and then, further, greedy and amused and hot in bakugou's ear, as he lets it go with his teeth-- ) And fuck you.

( there, now he's getting it: now he's finding his way back again, back from the hazy feeling of bakugou's body, coiled around his, like he actually means something; now he's back in the moment but apart from it, pulling his hips back--his dick catches, slick and clumsy and popped past the ring of bakugou's muscles, there, hooked on just by the head; there's a throaty, pleased sort of chuckle, and he pushes in again. bakugou's cock is caught between their bodies, but he doesn't care; his hips push in, pull out, push in, pull out, and this time, there's no mercy, none of that desperate rutting, none of that full connection. he fills bakugou just to deny him it again, and it feels fucking fantastic, and it feels like-- )

Come on, you're holding back on me. ( the words come out stuttered, pulled from the breath of exertion and the tingling of pleasure that rakes over him with every thrust of his hips into bakugou's pliant body; he has to taunt him, has to try to get him there, or he's going to lose himself to his orgasm first, and no, he's not going to lose something yet again. ) Come, scream, yell, pull my hair, really fucking feel it.

( it's a sloppy mess, a cascade of saliva and sweat and precum trapped between them, and he doesn't care. he doesn't care if bakugou ignites him with all of that dangerous sweat smeared onto his damaged skin, doesn't care about the sticky mess between them that globs in between the lines of muscle and the tense, taut gasp of breath; he doesn't care if bakugou's tongue misses the mark on his mouth in that sloppy kiss, or if his teeth get caught on bakugou's lip, or if his own splits with the impact, if any of his staples come free with the rough pull of it all. bakugou's breath is hot against his, panting, begging, cursing, kissing; if there's blood between them, he doesn't care. it doesn't matter if he marks bakugou with every fluid in his body and bakugou marks him back: that doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything. it can't mean anything.

but fuck, what if it did? they're so close to the edge that it becomes something of a tumble, like they're wrestling for the side that will throw one of them over, and he's got the advantage, being on top; he can drive his cock down into bakugou's ass with reckless abandon, can rut and push and pulse and make him writhe against the bathroom rug with impact, but it doesn't make it any better, doesn't roll him further away from the impending weakness of orgasm. it isn't even really a weakness, but when they're both always battling for who will be the first to go, it feels like losing, feels like admitting something that he doesn't have the words for, feels like a tiny, terrifying little thing to just let all of that go and trust that it won't get thrown back in his face. case in point: he can feel the way that bakugou goes tight around him, can feel the way his own hips stutter, unable to drag himself back out far enough to slam back in again.

so he pushes, rubs, rolls his hips in; so his mouth finds bakugou's neck, his jaw, burying his face into it, and when he hits it, he knows that he hits it: all the muscles go tight around him, a sudden, searing clench of pressure around the shape of his cock, and there's a groan that rolls into bakugou's ear, a groan of pleasure and laughter alike; hot lines of cum spurt between them, milked from bakugou's orgasm, and he rocks into it, follows the give and take and pulse with his own tremoring breath, smearing it all between them. bakugou is all arms and legs around him, and despite his obvious orgasm, he's still not letting go: it's delicious and frustrating and terrible all at once, hissing a curse in against bakugou's ear as he pulls at the lobe. )


Fucking... ( he doesn't even have it in him to complain, can't find the insults he should find, can't find the anger or the frustration--instead he finds pleasure, the kind that almost hurts, tingling and threatening to push him right into orgasm. ) Fuck.

( his head bows, nestled hard into the crook of bakugou's neck; his hips push, relentless, nudging and driving and rubbing himself into bakugou's ass when he can hardly even stand to pull out--bakugou's muscles are starting to relax, now, but he doesn't want to lose that feeling, that feeling of being so desperately wanted inside, that feeling of being kept, and now it's too much, and now it's too far, and now he can't fucking think of anything but the impending release. he wants it. he wants it bad enough that he doesn't care when he curses into bakugou's skin, doesn't care when he comes, doesn't care that he plunges headfirst into the pool of all those feelings he doesn't want to feel, coming inside of him, coming hard inside of him. their chests touch, his arms giving way to the flat of the floor beneath them; for a long moment, he rides out the shot of pleasure that sings in his nerves, one of the few things that he can feel, in all its intensity.

his breath steadies, a little too quickly--but he doesn't lift his head from bakugou's neck, doesn't move, doesn't rip himself free of bakugou's ass, and that's telling, telling in a way he doesn't like. but for one quiet moment, he lets himself have that feeling: that feeling of being desired. their bodies stay together, and he only moves slightly, enough that he isn't fully crushing bakugou's dick between them; he pushes some weight back onto one arm, giving them both at least the space to breathe. )

( he doesn't appreciate the move, but he can't really do anything about it: his arm gets kicked out like the metal stand on a bike and their chests smack together, damp skin to damp skin, a growl of complaint hissed between teeth as they collide. this is what it feels like to be wanted, and the emotions flicker through him, ripe and strange and filed in like photos in a slide reel, slotted and brushed away with recognition and denial--it always feels good until it doesn't, it always feels invigorating until it doesn't, it always feels like it'll last forever until it doesn't. that's what growing up taught him, right? you're wanted until you're fucking useless and then there's always someone better than you out there, taking everything you wanted, fucking up everything that was supposed to be yours. and if that's the case, then that's the case here, too: he's not going to admit that he wants something beyond bakugou's hair fisted in his hand as he fucks him, not going to admit that he wants to stay past the cursory few hours he'll fall into sleep next to him before leaving out the window. he's not going to get it. he's not going to have it.

and that's when it all gets a little sour. the cling of bakugou's arms, the clutch of his legs, gets looser around him; the frantic breath beneath his own chest steadies, rounding back out into normal inhales, normal exhales. suddenly they're too close, and suddenly they're too intimate, and suddenly it's all just far too much for him, pushing far too close to all those feelings that he claims not to feel anymore, all the vestiges of what he used to be or what he could have been, all of those tiny littles hopes that never became anything at all. it pisses him off, the feeling, makes his skin itch in irritation; steadying a breath himself, he slowly pushes back up onto his elbows and then, carefully, up onto his palms. one hand reaches in between them, skimming wordlessly along the hard line of bakugou's body to find the place where they still meet. his dick's going soft, but it isn't uncomfortable just yet--he isn't fully a monster, at least not here, and so he's careful about the way they separate, bracing a hand against the base of his cock as he pulls his hips back, a steady rhythm, until it snaps past that ring of muscle and they separate.

kind of a fucked up feeling. then again, he's used to that. there's no part of him that's going to get what he wants except for that one thing he wants, and that should be enough. there's no part of his plan that involves getting too involved with the dumb brat they kidnapped, no part of his plan that has any sort of redemption, or even future, for how this will go. the people that he wants to die will die, and he'll die with them.

with a slow wheeze of breath, playfully exhausted, he uses one elbow to swing back, away from bakugou's body, instead choosing to flatten himself on his own back next to him; the rug doesn't stretch quite that far, so it's just cold tile he gets to lay on--a few of those bottles he swept off the counter are near his head, rattling around near his wet hair. )


Now what? ( there's some amusement in his gravely voice, eyes closed, one hand lifting to push his bangs away from his eyes a little. ) You gonna play nurse, feed me, or tuck me into bed?

( or is bakugou going to come to his senses and kick him out like he should? it's hard to say. there's probably more of that hero bullshit that will come into play here, no matter how much he dislikes it; he'll probably feel sorry for him or something equally pathetic if he forces him back into his clothes, wet hair and all, and kicks him out the front door. clothes, that's another good point: maybe he can stick them in the wash while he's here.

stupid thoughts. he'll take any thoughts, really, anything that isn't focused on how the distance between them feels funny, now, unwarranted and unpleasant. )

Seems kinda pointless to tell you I've got a problem so you can cuss me out and do it anyway.

( his eyes are closed--it's somehow easier to handle it, with his eyes closed. he doesn't have to look up at the lights in the bathroom and remember where he is, doesn't have to look over and see bakugou's face, wet with sweat or bathwater, dripping from the tips of his uselessly pointed hair. it's easy to play pretend, but it's easier still when he doesn't have to be consciously aware that every inch of this place is a place he doesn't belong--that same feeling, itching and crawling inside of him from years before, standing on that tatami he used to know like the back of his hand and looking at a picture of himself, framed and pretty, in a house that had remained exactly the same, in a family that had remained exactly the same. he hadn't belonged there, either.

reality is a hard pill to swallow, sometimes. his reality, now, is something that he's constructed, something he's stitched together like the map of his mottled skin, bleeding from real to unreal and back again. the reality is that there's nothing left for him, in places like these, with people like this--bakugou is going to be some fucking dumbass hotshot hero, someone who upholds the same society that should be put to rest, and he's going to do it without realizing all the terrible things he's standing for. sometimes he thinks bakugou deserves it, and sometimes he thinks he almost feels sorry for him, in a way: as though it's a raw talent and raw determination wasted on something that doesn't deserve someone that good.

ridiculous, stupid things: he forces his eyes open, forces himself to look up at the bathroom ceiling, and then sighs. with a groan, he pushes up: first onto elbows, and then, bending at the middle, to sit up entirely; it's probably better to do this in the bathroom, where blood can be wiped off tile just as easily as ash can be, but he's still not entirely sure he's going to play along nicely, still not entirely sure what he wants to do. one hand lifts, fingers raking back through wet hair, trying to push it away from his face--but his gaze is angled down at bakugou, narrowed and gauging, like a predator trying to decide if it's worth it to take down troublesome prey. )


Let's see what your fancy-ass hero training taught you, then.

( sure, he assumes that bakugou knows the ins and outs of basic field medicine, maybe--at least that's what he remembers himself, remembers asking his father about, remembers learning about all the kinds of things he would be learning once he got into UA.

now there's a funny joke. the thought makes his expression warm, a little, but it's with the heat of pleased irritation. )


Is this good enough, nurse? ( the words drawl out of him, as he shifts, slightly, sliding until his back can hit the cabinet beneath the sink and stretch his long legs out in front of him--easier for him to lean up against something, anyway. he doesn't really care if he's just sitting out naked on bakugou's bathroom floor, and he's too lazy to reach for a towel anywhere, so here they are. ) Promise I'll be a good boy.

( there's a wary glance, spared to the sink, spared to the items that bakugou gathers up, but in the end, it's something he's all too used to. maybe when he'd been younger, small and stupid, dealing with the aftermath of a few burns had been torture, seeing the skin welt up and blister, seeing the colors change. at that time, pain had been something of a marvelous thing, an experience that seared itself into his nerves, made him have to bodily push past it to keep using his quirk at all. gradually, it became something to live with, rather than something to be afraid of--but like all kids, he hadn't been particularly keen on getting shots or injections, hadn't exactly always been willing to give blood or go to the doctor.

perhaps those are fears that only the privileged get to have. when he woke up after that fated night, years later, he hadn't had the luxury of being afraid of the hospital, of bandages, of the skin that had been given. he hadn't been able to be afraid of needles or medicine, or to do anything but come face to face with the reality of his new life: his body couldn't handle the one thing he had been born to do, and hadn't that just been the crux of it all? even with his nerves all dulled, now, matte and unpolished, there's the occasional thrum of something, something akin to that pain he had learned how to push past in his youth. but he hadn't been able to do anything but adapt to a life that now included all these things that bakugou gathers, now: on a good day, anyway.

it's not like he has regular access. honestly, the kid is kind of doing him a favor, loathe as he is to admit it--which is why he just grunts, a low breath of displeasure, as bakugou gathers everything and eases down onto the floor with him.

the kiss--is unexpected. he'd expected some sort of growling complaint, the faintest pinch of his skin as he tended to half-hanging staples and sagging skin. but instead, it's something warm, and eager, something full and entirely unwarranted; his tongue swipes out, licks the taste of that kiss of his mouth as bakugou moves to settle in for more pertinent business.

fucking sap. )


Did I? ( he says it after a moment, his head hanging forward, spine bent as though it helps bakugou tend to what he needs to--all things considered, he isn't complaining or even trying to hinder bakugou's work, something that he thinks deserves praise. ) With you, you mean? Or before you?

( a hand moves, but only so that he can squeeze at his bangs, dribbling water down into his lap. it spatters against the tops of his thighs. )

If you're too sore, I'll carry you to bed. ( it sounds gleefully condescending--his chin lifts a little, a grin echoing the same sentiment. )

( some distant part of him can appreciate this for what it is. bakugou might be a mouthy little shit, but he isn't shoving this into his face, isn't forcing him to contend with himself, or with what he's done to himself, more accurately. he isn't forcing him into anger at perceived pity, or even perceived affection; he takes to his work with a silent seriousness, running over ripples of healthy and marred skin, testing boundaries, knitting up openings.

he doesn't say anything about the state that he's in, doesn't lecture him to knock it off, or even lecture him to take better care of himself. he deals with the situation at hand, rather than the looming future--and he won't say it, won't even dare put any sort of kindness to his tongue like that, but it's a relief. it's a relief, not being picked apart on the inside, not being lectured for being a scarred piece of shit--he can remember every time endeavor took him by the arm, by the wrist, by his leg, his waist, screaming at him for his injuries, his stupidity, his lack of foresight.

bakugou may be some righteous, dumbshit hero, but at least he isn't like that. and because of it, he can sit there, in peace--he can sit there, and let bakugou do whatever will make bakugou feel a little better, and honestly? he needs it, anyway. he can't really feel the prick as bakugou drags away half-lodged staples, can't feel the sting where water touches the edge of a wound, or where blood laps at healthy skin. he's so estranged from his body in that way that it's helpful to have bakugou here, giving him a once-over, at least before he goes out into the world the next morning and fucks shit up again. at least this way he won't be falling apart in ways he can't recognize.

but the words make him chuckle--half of a sound, from pursed lips, glancing up at him from beneath the shadow of wet bangs. )


Yeah? You're a little small for that, short stuff.

( nevermind that he's only got--what, an inch on the kid? he's not going to think about that. not his fault, either--he blames all that on his mother, the fact that he'd been small, undergrown, not as tall as natsu, not even as tall as the stupid miracle baby shouto.

one arm lifts, pushing mildly at bakugou's shoulder, setting him off balance just for the hell of it. )


Do I pass inspection now? You took your time.

( with a groan, he straightens up, rolling his shoulders back, trying to feel for the telltale crack that sets his muscles straight; as much as he'd been thinking of washing his clothes, maybe hunting around for some food, liquor, whatever else he might find in this perfect house, he's got to admit that grabbing bakugou around the waist and hauling him back to bed sounds like the best plan out of all of them. )

One more. ( --he repeats, like he has to, like it's a deal they're signing together. it's easier to measure his patience when there's a clear end goal in sight, anyway. he's sure the kid would only be too happy to take his time looking over him with a little more meticulous care than he does here, when he's tired, when he's washed over with the warm sort of exhaustion a good orgasm brings, and when dabi himself is moving, shifting, stretching, limiting it all with the hardly-balanced plate of his own mitigated patience. ) ...Brat.

( it's physically impossible for him to let bakugou have the last word. he just won't do it.

instead, he stretches his arms forward, waiting. the little pinprick doesn't bother him, and the distant sting of disinfectant doesn't feel like anything but a small reminder that he's present in his body, that he isn't just operating it by distant strings. good manners would say he should thank bakugou for doing it at all, but he's not going to bother; if they're mutually getting something out of it, then why acknowledge it at all? still, when bakugou scoots back, away from him as though in some measure of finality, he tilts his head, giving him one slow, measured glance before he plants his hands on the cool tile floor.

getting up onto his feet is easy, maybe, but even he's a little blown out by the feeling of a good fuck--and all of that tiny, miniscule care, bent over against the cabinets, against bakugou, against the floor, makes him let out a breath of complaint as he finally stretches to full height. at least he's not about to step on the mess of scattered tools that bakugou's left all over the floor, not going to kick away the other bottles he'd swiped off the counter in playful disobedience. instead, he works his way towards the door frame of the bathroom, utterly tolerant of being naked, here: what's the point of being shy? bakugou's seen and touched and crawled all over every inch of him. )


You got something I can wear? ( the wordless assumption that bakugou will be washing his other clothes gets threaded into the smug amusement in his voice. ) Eh, I'm just gonna go through your stuff.

( a hand braced at the door frame helps him push past it--he shouldn't, but he knows the layout of this place, knows which doors he should open, which doors he should leave closed. bakugou's room isn't far from the bathroom: and he creaks the door open with a wide palm, not bothering to turn on the light. the warm glow from the hallway pools into it, and he moves towards a dresser, immediately yanking open one drawer, and then another, palming playful, greedy fingers through the neatly folded items there. )

( there's the distant sound of that annoying voice, something about grenades--which he knows immediately to be a lie, given that he's already got two drawers yanked open and nothing happening. it's not like he'd be able to tell from a distance, but if he's already gotten this far, he's going to bank on the fact that bakugou's bedroom is at least disarmed when he's not in it, and gives a soft snort of disregard at the warning. it's not like it would really matter anyway, though he might have some explaining to do if he went back to the base with half his face smeared off; he would keep going, of course, but it'd be inconvenient to do it like that. for now.

it takes a few passes of one large hand to find something he's willing to wear, something that isn't some obnoxiously bright color or smeared with all might's face on it; he opts for one of bakugou's stupid skull t-shirts, full black, dragging it on over his head and sticking his arms out through the sleeves. with that drawer closed, it's just a random grab for a pair of dark underwear and then he shuts that drawer with his hip; pulling them on, he leave it at that. if bakugou's sleeping with him in this room, then it's going to get hotter than hell anyway--they're both warm, but he's much warmer, and the heat is likely going to kick on during the night anyway.

with a slow breath of bemusement, he eases onto the bed. plush mattress, a warm comforter, the pillows all neatly stacked like his mother made his bed in preparation--he leans into them, legs outstretched, an idle hand reaching immediately for the bedside table to drag the drawer open. his fingertips rifle through the contents, but there's nothing really of note: well, except for the box of cigarettes that he'd left there from the last time he'd had a little 'visit' to the house. he's pulling it into his lap when bakugou shows up in the doorway--and he grins at him, all beaming, as he drags a cigarette out of the box between bent knuckles. )


Took your time getting all pretty for me, huh? ( he knows that's absolutely not what bakugou was doing in the bathroom--and the dip of his gaze down, towards bakugou's hips, says he knows the answer. ) Cute. We gonna stay up til the wash finishes?

( otherwise he's going to have soggy clothes in the morning, when he tries to leave before bakugou wakes up. )

( what was that? smoke a few cigarettes? yeah, he'll do that.

there's time, at least, as bakugou rifles through his own drawer. if he found any comfort in anything, he thinks that it would be something like this: the neighborhood around them is quiet, the residents of the other houses clearly tucked down into sleep for the night. there's not the distant screeching of taxis, or the drunk yelling of salarymen as they wander down the streets; there's not even the telltale rumble of the subway as it goes past. most of their temporary bases have been in places like that--noisy, sandwiched into the worst places in the city, tiny little holes to catch some sleep and regroup before heading out again. but here, there's just the faint sound of rustling fabric, the heavy lead of bakugou's feet, as he moves closer to the bed. it's a moment of calm that he doesn't deserve: a moment of calm in a life that's been nothing but a raging fire.

one cigarette drawn past the box, he taps it a little against his thigh, as though the thought makes him restless. he's too tired to start a fight, too worn out and well-pleased to really get into it. but there's that small part of him that nags and screams and wants to take bakugou by the throat for having everything he could never have--as if somehow he deserves it more.

another tap of the cigarette. then another. bakugou flops onto the mattress next to him, lying out on his stomach, and with a pained sigh, he thumbs the end of the cigarette to give it a light, a brief flicker of blue haze, and then it's gone. tossing the box back into the drawer, he pushes it shut with his palm. )


Do I look like the type to bitch about wrinkles? ( he says, idly, around the cigarette. a small exhale of smoke passes from the part of his lips; he settles back into the pillows, one arm draped across his stomach, the other bent up to pull the cigarette back. ) I'd drive myself crazy.

( not like he can take an iron to his skin, smooth it all out into pretty planes of unmarred perfection. )

Gonna sleep? ( he asks, with another drag from the cigarette; he flicks the ash onto bakugou's floor. it's fine, he can clean it up in the morning. idly, his gaze goes from the window, across the mattress, and over to bakugou at his side, watching him for a moment with brows lifted in expectation. )

Petty bastard.

( just for that one, he angles his free arm out, another little flick of the end of the cigarette to cast a sprinkle of ash on the floor. he's going to burn up the damn thing before he even gets his nicotine fix, but whatever, it's worth it just to piss off bakugou. dragging it back to his lips, he leaves it there for a moment, taking in a small inhale.

despite the fact that this isn't the first time they've fucked around, he still finds himself without any of those feelings that he's sure he's supposed to have. it would be better to take bakugou as a hostage again, maybe, but that would be pointless. it's not like their little intervention had done anything or changed anything, except maybe convinced shigaraki not to try something so stupid again; still, he's sure that their precious leader would rather that he put an end to bakugou's short life than hang around with him in the middle of the night in the fucking suburbs. doesn't matter to him, anyway. he doesn't feel the need to kill him, doesn't feel the need to drag him back to the league, either. not right now.

is he supposed to feel other things, then? some sense of possession, or affection, or anything like that? it's hard to say when those things burned right out of him, whether that had been done by endeavor's hand or his own, or by the fires of his funeral. but it feels strange, when bakugou's arm stretches across him, fingertips touching idly along his side. some people might find comfort in that; some people might find that achingly romantic.

he takes another drag of his cigarette, and moves his own arm. he would say it's for comfort, but the way that it stretches out along the pillows, above bakugou's head, also says something in its silent invitation. )


You'll regret it. Sleep in too late and I'll be gone before you realize it.

( another slow exhale, smoke that plumes up towards bakugou's ceiling. )

I guess this is something nice, in its own way. I get it.

Yeah? You'd be the first person to think that.

( there's a thread of humor in his voice, but it's hard-won and tired, a little raw, a little exhausted. it's easy enough to keep up his attitude when it's the only thing sustaining him throughout the long days and nights, waiting for the end, waiting for his absolution, waiting for everything to line up just right, for endeavor to suffer so horribly that he's satisfied with his death. there's nothing else to life but that. going along with the league's plans, every once in awhile, is fine enough, and he's fine with the idea of chaos as a concept, fine with torching the world, fine with burning the whole of society down to nothing. but there's no feeling, no pleasure to be found in a good meal, a good drink, a good fuck. they're enjoyable in their own rights, but he'll never be a person that can find happiness like that again.

happiness doesn't exist. for a reject, for the trash that endeavor forgot to sweep into the dustpan. and the kid pressed up against his side, now, settled and warm, has all of those things.

for now.

who knows what the world will be like. he wants to think that it'll be destroyed, by the time he dies, that he'll explode out the last of it, that everything will lie in ruins and decay, and that toga himiko will smile, and that shigaraki tomura will have everything he wanted, all of that vindication, all of that pain at his fingertips. compress will still tell everyone his dramatic stories, and spinner will still try to find some justice in his actions, and the heroes will be dead. maybe bakugou will be dead. or maybe not.

does that make moments like this better, or worse? the dredges of his cigarette start to burn out, his drags too long, and eventually he snubs it out against the side of his stomach, rubbed into the torched skin there before he tosses the butt onto the bedside table. at least bakugou won't have to pick it up off the floor. his fingertips hesitate, before idling down against bakugou's bare shoulder, curled there, loose and light; his eyes lid, but he doesn't sleep. )


How long are you gonna do this, you think? ( it's idle: not the sort of tone that he takes when he's poking at him to start an argument. ) How much time do we have left to be like this? A month, two months, six months?
