@blendquirk:

The chameleon’s gaze flickered to the stranger, skin that had been blending with the shadows shifting and changing to a more visible hue - closer to his natural tone, but anxiety surrounding the stranger before him kept him ready to fade back into nothingness.

( stranger danger   ! )

For a long moment, he said nothing, watching the other. It was only when the intrusive urge to touch the other’s fur caused his fingers to twitch, that he shifted to break from his own thoughts.

( broken fingers weren’t any fun )

“You in a rush or somethin’?”

Words soft spoken as his head tilted, one eye flickering to the end of the alley the other had come from, the other remaining firmly trained on his new conversation partner.

With another successful victory under his already accolade heavy belt, Chojuro had nice and thick stack of yen tucked away within his jacket. Maybe when he was younger, he would’ve blown it all away on fine cigarillos and booze, but now... It was far more important that they saved what funds he managed to rake in as much as they feasibly could. Maybe it felt a little silly to be cutting coupons and paying close attention to the local markets’ sales, but if they could save money they used on food and other necessities, then they’d have a bigger pool of cash to dip into. Any corners they could cut were well worth it, especially with street costs for contraband like weapons and Trigger being on the rise.

His elbow knocked into something soft, causing him to suddenly pivot on his heel and jerk back. Most of the pickpockets in this city knew to stay away well away from ‘Chimera’ but one could never be too sure. Could have been some new blood on the prowl- Even Kon had to hand it to the kid for being slick, as he’d not even noticed the other streetwalker when he first came down the alleyway.

Huffing a bit loudly through his canine nostrils, he slipped a clawed hand within the depths of his coat to pull out a cigar (and discreetly check the weight of the contents in the inner pocket). Sharp fangs made for ripping and tearing tore through the dark paper easily, the massive cage fighter spitting the end of the robusto onto the pavement.

“Hit me up, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal, ol’ friend.“ Hertz beamed to the enthralled arcade clerk as she held out her hand to receive.

The arcade employee merely nodded and passed her a handful of tokens. The look in his eyes was vacant as though he was not entirely there on a mental level.

“Thanks, Steve!“ She called out on her way back to play more. The clerk’s name tag obviously did not read ‘Steve’ but the purple and red-haired female decided to call him that. Why? He looks like a ‘Steve’ to her.

The girl had been doing this all morning, spending her tokens on the arcade machines only to get more for free without any objections. It was suspicious, yes, but she had not visibly done anything to him since entering. Just paid for the very first set of tokens and started to get her replacements for free thereafter.

    She gave a small startled noise as he suddenly stood up, beginning off in one direction as he confirmed knowing the way. The blonde blinked before hurrying to follow the young man leading her along. She hadn’t expected him to escort her or anything! She just needed directions!

    “Ah, well... more of just I’m new here.” she knew where she was, but the maps here were far more confusing than she was used to. All the alternative paths threw her off, then again, she was used to being lead around everywhere she went...

    “I have an understanding as to where I’m at I just...kind of started to get street names and things jumbled in my head.” she sighed faintly, folding the map in her hands neatly, fingers pinching and tightening the folding lines as she hurried along behind the taller of the duo.

    “Th-thank you, by the way..! You didn’t have to go out of your way to take me--”

The winter season had brought with it harshly dropping temperatures that year. For most, this meant staying inside, or 'bundling up' a little more than usual. For anyone with a temperature sensitivity  —  elementals such as himself had always been the primary example of that  —  it meant pointedly avoiding the outside world, and hoping that you didn't find yourself sick from it.

     (  When you didn't exactly have a home, avoiding the weather became less of an option. Hence why Dabi had found himself in this damned situation, to begin with.  )

Turquoise eyes blinked, two parts surprise and one part habitual concern. If there was anyone that could not be outdoors under these conditions, it was Kaito. At least for himself, due to the fucked up combination of genetics he was working with in the first place, he had a little time before the bitter cold would cause anything dreadful. The little chameleon? Not so much.

   ❝ Hey. ❞  Frown attempted to form, only for the expression to immediately fade; he didn't have time for torn stitches right now. An arm curled loosely around the other, chilled fingers pressing softly to his cheek  —  and then gently heating, ever cautious to keep the actual fire of his Quirk beneath his own skin where it belonged.

Send me a ✧ and I’ll bold all that apply to your muse.

Hugs For Dabi  ||  @blendquirk

Turquoise eyes blinked as the younger’s arms looped around him, allowing a considerable pause in all movement as he waited for an explanation. When none came, a barely audible sigh mingled with the quiet of the room - thoughtful, a bit uncertain, but far from annoyed. It wasn’t like they really needed words, not these days, and sometimes…

       Well, sometimes the silence was easier.

The embrace was returned after only a moment, arms curling to pull Kaito close to a scarred chest. Warm fingers twisted into the familiar fabric of the other’s shirt, head bent to offer a cautious nuzzle to his hair. Whether this had been intended as brief or not, he wasn’t exactly planning on letting go until the day’s tension finished seeping out of a damaged body, and so…

                          ❝Stay.❞
