cheating!dabi x gn!reader

based on second best by laufey

"i love you."

you watch dabi as he pulls off his headphones. "what did you say?"

"oh, nothing. just... i love you," you repeat, a little unsure of yourself.

"oh." dabi smirks. "you too, doll."

he kisses you, roughly, how he likes it, then leaves you in your shared room.

you walk hand-in-hand with dabi as you make your way to the league's hide-out. you're not talking, but it seems to affect you more than it does him.

if i drop his hand, would he come back for it?

you shake your head. but the doubt wouldn't leave you, so you do.

you drop his hand.

you hope, just for a second, that he'll come back for it. laugh and say "you dropped something, doll."

he doesn't.

that night, you lie awake, watching dabi's chest rise and fall as he slept.

what is he dreaming of?

the wind howls outside, and you bury yourself deeper into the blankets. you try to distract yourself with memories of you and dabi.

but all you can think about is the way he kissed you half-heartedly. the way he dropped your hand. the way he walked away, not even noticing it happened.

you don't sleep that night.

you don't put the pieces together until keigo shows you the photos.

tears fill your eyes as you stare at keigo's phone, wishing you could erase the photo from your mind.

dabi had been cheating.

it was undeniable. the girl he was kissing was so pretty, blonde hair, tan skin. it made you sick to your stomach.

"how long?" you could barely whisper.

"eight months," keigo replied sadly.

eight months. you'd only been together for six.

you put the phone down, and pack your bags. you don't tell dabi you're leaving.

when he finds out, he doesn't even call.

weeks go by, and you find yourself a lot happier. he never gave you anything, so what was there to miss?

but sometimes, in the dead of the night, you wonder if there's a chance he would ever take you back. you hope one day, you'll be able to leave this behind. but for now, you knew you were still in love with him.

because he was your everything.

but you were just his second best.

katsuki x gn!reader, izuku x gn!reader

based on champagne problems by taylor swift

"you know, i was thinking about us. i'd really like to marry you."

you grasp katsuki's hand and look into his eyes, expecting him to agree, or smile. his face is blank.

trying not to be deterred, you continue. "i know you're a pro hero, and we agreed to keep this relationship a secret, but i really like being with you, 'suki." you pull out a ring from your pocket.

"this ring... it's been in my family for generations. i'd like you to have it, katsuki. that is, if you want to."

when you look up, katsuki still has that blank expression on his face. you frown.

"katsuki? is everything alright?"

he drops your hand, shaking his head. he doesn't even give you a reason. instead, he just leaves you alone on the landing, your heart in pieces on the floor.

that night, you book the night train back home to your family. the silence gives you time to sit in the hurt.

you put the wedding ring on the table, take katsuki's picture out from your wallet, feeling like your heart was irreparable. crestfallen, you tell your family everything. you just couldn't keep it in.

"he would've made such a lovely husband, what a shame he's fucked in the head," your sister says.

"it must have been the fame," your mother adds quietly.

you couldn't say anything.

years later, katsuki sees the news that you're engaged to pro hero deku. there's a heavy weight in his chest when he sees you smiling brightly, holding on to deku's arm tightly. he doesn't know what is worse: that it could have been him that you were smiling at, or that it was deku he lost you to. his childhood enemy.

he knows it's too late. you've found someone who won’t leave you standing alone on the landing. found someone whose picture replaces his in your wallet. still, there is an irrational part of him that wants to fight for your love.

but he knows there's no one to blame but him and the fame that got to his head.
