[ For once in his life, he didn't mean to lash out at that. Not toward Natsuo- but Dabi is always ready to attack, especially when anything comes after him, and he growls at Natsuo catching him off guard like that. It could have been way worse. And now his little brother is cowering, curled up in a ball in front of him, and Dabi feels something splinter inside of him.
He was supposed to protect his brother, and now here he is, after not even being able to see him for so long, hurting him.
His flames die down and he takes a few steps back, eyes wild as it all sinks in for him too. The explosion at the Todoroki home, all the random attacks of a quirk user trying to gain his strength. Natsuo really being the only one who ever fully stuck by him through all of Enji's abuse at home. Of course Shouto was far too young, and he would never blame his mother because she was being hurt too. But still, Natsuo had been there for him, and somehow, even though Dabi is a villain now, he's still here, asking for a chance.
Natsuo wants to help him. He wants to work with him. If Dabi still had a heart, it would probably break right about now.]
No. You're not cut out for this. You're not a goddamn villain, Natsuo! Do you have any fuckin' idea what this is gonna do to you?
[ It's gonna ravage him. It's going to take him apart and make him lose his soul, and so maybe Dabi still has a heart in here somewhere, because the thought of that happening to Natsuo is devastating. ]
