    Summary

    Just like a blizzard. But these temperatures aren't anything like those that shepard Tomura inside to curl tight in bed and tremble-- yet they are all-consuming just the same. All-embracing.

    The sun seems little more than an afterthought now.

    Summary

    It really can't be anything other than ironic when the poison becomes the medicine, but even prescriptions got schedules and oopsies thereof, so housecall phlebotomy can't be that out of the ordinary. Certainly can't hurt for someone lacking half a high school education to pick up on skills befitting that of medical students without any of the debt weighing down their shoulders. Even if he's lacking textbooks too, knowledge is still knowing. It's why Tomura's grown to trust all he does and the methods he chooses. But he probably trusted him already 'cause he knew Dabi wouldn't dare damage something Tomura holds close enough to share a closet with.

    That's someone, the itty-bitty bossman on his shoulder huffs. But Dabi's been getting better with that lately too-- not even because of Tomura. Sometimes you just gotta make peace with what you're always poking into just to stay alive. Sometimes you gotta let the thing that's got you living in the first place be recognized as something worth living in.

    Summary

    Tomura nods towards the very digits musing on hazy durability. "Your fingers are purple." He notes in a voice evenly bisected by skepticism and mild, muted concern. Duality never really fades, huh? "Aren't you ever gonna practice what you preach?"

    Summary

    Summer leaving its wet and disconcerted footsteps smudged along the windowpane should probably feel relieving, but Dabi knows better than to believe that as grace by now. He can hate that heat all he wants but the opposite isn't any greener, not at all, and it's not like his body knows the difference. He wishes there was a something in a baggie to dim that too, something other than what calmly pats the trembling head of his central nervous system, but even that has run dry.

    Summary

    Carved with intent otherwise vague to prying eyes-- bled mutely across the gaudy ceiling in the chapel in Howl Barrow Dabi can't seem to escape-- yet as beautiful and more as the writhing bodies surrounding. The salvation itself Dabi must be seeking. He must be-- why else would he go?

    His right ear is ringing again. He tugs hard at the steel in his ear until it fades.

    Summary

    That part isn't the surprising one, but the comedown is, 'cause, y'see, everything's easier to feel when the world tilts sideways. Feeling sleepy while Tomura runs his thumb mindlessly over the side of Dabi's hand and tasting it stronger only half conscious, that's nice. Rubbing his face up in Tomura's freshly dried and conditioned hair when his words want some rest, that's nice. And yet it is fickle humanity that whispers the reminder.

    Summary

    It doesn't feel odd or strange, the way the tsunami slashes faster thereafter, nor the empty sacks that float dung down atop its drainage. It makes sense why the woodwear he slouches upon grasps the outside to arm's length. How only he can watch from within. It makes sense, in the dream.

    Summary

    the future is made of salvaged dreams, and while glittering, so envious, it's somehow unfulfilling...

    Summary

    The roads, fences, streetlights-- the trees in the park, the playground structures too-- uprooted and unseamed, they all drown in the screaming flood. Under a moonlit and indigo-black sky, the sea shines violently as if cut from obsidian rather than foam, and it soaks up the sides of the house until Tenko's certain his window will burst open and embed glass far deeper into his face than his own stubby fingernails have ever been able to. He doesn't shrink back at the thought. Just inches from the outside world, he stands still.

    Summary

    The fading daylight had flickered across his eyes as if they were motherboard instead of the blue Tomura's long since come to associate with more hearth than hellfire, and he hadn't been able to tell what circuit had shut but he'd witnessed it all the same. Maybe it was determination. Something to signify another new game plus with an even better manual this time. Maybe it was just new batteries.

    Summary

    His sneakers harmonize quiet shk-shks with the crickets as he dredges up and scatters the woodchips below. Despite his seclusion, it isn't a forlorn sound. There's a waxing melody on the breeze and it smells sweet of carcinogens too familiar not to ease the bar.

    Summary

    Dabi watches him and wonders what kind of expression he's making himself. Another mystery lost to the sky that goes deeper indigo the longer they stay out here.

    Tomura wouldn't tell him because he wouldn't ask him these things anyway. But he can let his eyes slide down to those interlocked fingers and feel a little jealous.

    Summary

    Tomura looks back over at him and Dabi knows he can see it on his face. But Tomura is gracious, magnanimous, he is generous and sublime so he grabs Dabi's chin again and presses his closed lips to Dabi's own. They slot together easily because they've done it a million and six times. It still feels just as new as the first. But maybe with a bit more experience now.

    Summary

    Sure, regular people got their problems too; upstanding civilians too naïve to recognize the sun outside the window's the reflection of their lamp; street rats holed up between dumpsters to get some semblance of safety while dozing off for as long as is possible; regular ole high school students in regular ole high schools making plans for karaoke on Sunday; everybody's got their worms on their belt chains. It's just one of those mischievous little 'life' things, when stuff sucks sometimes. When everyone curses it out like it isn't justified.
