Work Text:
Dabi had noticed that no matter the weather, you kept yourself covered.
Even now, in the blazing heat of summer, you were dressed in a thin long sleeved shirt with jeans.
You were also shoved up against him, hiding from a nosy hero.
Obviously you were uncomfortable. Not only was there a chance that the two of you would have to fight your way out, making you nervous.
But the heat he was generating was not helping you keep cool.
He felt bad, but not too bad since he got a nice view of your chest through the sweat patch.
In the end the two of you made it out of that situation without incident.
Which led to another one.
“Just take it off. I know you’re burning up.”
“I’m fine.” You refused.
“I literally can see the sweat forming on your hairline.”
You retreated further into the room, crossing your arms. “I swear I’m fine— can you please go?”
“I’m not leaving until I make sure you don’t die of fucking heat stroke, so strip.”
You groaned, grabbing a tank top from your dresser. “Fine. Turn around.”
And so he did, waiting for your permission to turn back around.
It never came.
The sound of shuffling was obviously done and over, but you still hadn’t said a word.
“You gonna let me turn around?”
“No.”
Okay now he didn’t trust you. “I’m gonna turn around.”
“No—!”
He was honestly surprised to not see you in another long sleeved shirt.
But now he knew why you covered up.
Littered along your arms and chest were dark spots in varying sizes.
The looked like cigarette burns
But—
“Can you please stop staring.” You curled into yourself. “I know I’m gross looking but—”
“I’m basically a walking burnt person at this point.” He gestured to himself. “I get it.”
“But you walk around all confident— not that I’m saying that’s bad! I kinda admire you for that and—”
He cut your ramble short. “You admire me?”
You stared at his grinning face for about three seconds before squeaking and hiding your face in your hands.
He held back the urge to laugh as crossed the room and wrapped you in his arms.
“It’s okay if you’re not as confident as me but you damn sure are as sexy.”
This time he did laugh as you squealed even louder and buried yourself even deeper into his chest.
