Help Katsuki Sleep (Dabi x Bakugou)

[CRYBABY]

This is insane. Absolutely insane. Katsuki was going crazy, he was sure of it, how did he go from a diligent student that was in bed by 8:00 pm every night to standing outside a shady bar in the slummiest part of the city? Oh right, Tomura Shigaraki happened. To be fair, the blond couldn't blame the villain entirely for his current fucked state of mind but being captured by the League did seem to throw him over the edge. After the incident with the slime villain Katsuki had the occasional night terror and difficulty being confined or in small spaces but his symptoms didn't escalate until after he won the sports festival. Yes... won. Katsuki Bakugou, future No.1 Hero had indeed won the UA Sports Festival but at what cost to his mental health? Due to his abrasive.. well, aggressive display during the festival he had been bound and chained as he accepted his so called award. The worst part had to be the muzzle he was forced to wear... not only was he unable to move but his autonomy to speak was stripped from him. And the best part? Nobody stopped them. Nobody helped him. He was left to struggle and panic without the ability to call out for help even if he wanted to. Sleeping was difficult as he felt like his room was too small and sparring became interesting as being pinned down in a show of victory for his opponent would bring about panic. He couldn't tell anyone about this in fear of being seen as weak. Things were manageable for the young Hero in training until Tomura Shigaraki and the League of Villains decided that the explosive blond would be a perfect recruit. Once again Katsuki found himself bound, to a chair this time with his mouth free at least. How thoughtful.

His time as a captive for the League wasn't...horrible. Shigaraki wouldn't take no for an answer, keeping Katsuki bound to the chair for what seemed like forever as he worked on converting the blond--which ultimately did not work, of course it didn't! He was Katsuki Bakugou, future No.1 Hero, NOT some shady villain! But that did not stop the crusty asshole from pulling all the stops to try. After some time he was allowed to walk around free as long as the fucking burn victim kept a close eye on him. Which the patchwork bastard did albeit allowing Katsuki more freedom than any of the others would have. Plus he had some pretty good come backs to Katsuki's snarking and bitching. Dare the blond say he grew to like the ugly fucker, though he would rather rip out his own tongue than let that be known. By the time the Heroes actually found Katsuki, took them fucking long enough, and rescued him the teen was getting pretty used to spending all of his time with his warden.

He was rescued alright, just for his stupid brain to worsen and his life become a living hell. So here he was, standing outside a dirty dive bar at the ripe age of 16 desperate to find anything that could help him sleep. It had been days since he was able to sleep for longer than 2 hours without waking up to himself screaming, sweating, and thrashing. He felt especially bad for Kirishima who was doing his best to comfort the blond but there was only so much the faux redhead could do. The scent of alcohol slapped him in the face as soon as he opened the door, halting his movements momentarily before he took a deep breath and fully walked inside. He took a quick glance around the bar with the hood of his black hoodie pulled over his beautiful blond locks. The last thing he wanted was to somehow be recognized or even denied due to looking too young. The bars other patrons seemed to be engrossed in what they were doing, paying no mind to Katsuki as he stalked over to the bar and took a seat. His ruby eyes peeked out from under his hood as he waited for the bar tender to finish with the two women at the other end of the bar and make his way to the Hero in training.

He needed to get away for the night... After the incident at the bar, their little league had been rendered officially homeless and that meant they drifted and holed up where they could. Whereas they'd had in the little back rooms of the bar, they had to take what they could get now and often that meant shared living space and no time to themselves. Some of them were more comfortable with this than others, but Dabi needed time to himself. So many of them were just so... High energy...

He decided to do something very unwise for a lightweight. He was going to go get a drink. He ventured as far from their current hideout as he dared then made his way into the bar, glowing blue eyes darting about to take in his surroundings. The last thing he needed was to have to deal with someone that might make themselves a problem. Dabi's appearance was pretty easy to recognize, after all. When he felt it was safe enough, he made his way over to the bar only to pause. No. Fucking. Way. He'd recognize the blond peeking out from under that hood anywhere.

This was too good of an opportunity to pass up. The faux brunet sat down on the next stool and reached out to take hold of the other's hood, pulling it down so he would be harder to see while also forcing him to look his way. "Someone's being a little night owl..." He turned to the bartender then and casually ordered for them. "Two Sex on the Beach." With that he was turning his attention back to the teenage before him. He leaned in then, smiling seductively as he lowered his voice. "Don't sit at the bar moron, it's easier to hide in a booth."

"Advice" given he stood himself up and brought the boy up with him. He figured he was already pushing his luck though so he walked next to him rather than trying to lead him, even if that's what he was doing. Instead, he turned his eyes to glare death at one of the people sitting in the booth furthest to the back. Doing so the whole walk up was enough for the two friends sitting there to vacate before they'd reached it. Sitting himself down on one bench, he motioned for Bakugou to take the other. This meant that neither one of them was trapped by the other. What's more, Dabi had selected the bench that allowed him to watch the rest of the room while leaving Katsuki the one that would hide him the best. "I'll get our drinks in a sec." In spite of some of the teasing and even name-calling he'd done so far, Dabi had yet to actually ask why the teenager was here, nor offer any information in turn. Things were being kept shockingly casual.
