The next morning

"Shoto I know you're not going to like this but it has to be done."

Shoto hid in under the covers in his bed while hearing the sound of distant water running in the house.

"Your cuts need to be washed, your stab wound has closed and is beginning to scar. We don't want you dying from an infection now do we."

Dabi went to the side of the bed and pulled the covers off his little brother.

"Get away from me!"

It was a struggle to grab Shoto, he was squirming which wasn't helping his injuries.

Dabi jumped on the bed and tackled his brother. Holding Shoto in his arms as he squirmed and thrashed.

Shoto gasped, he must have moved an injury too fast Dabi thought. Not like Shoto was very fast anyway, he was too injured and tired. The kid just needed to recover before fighting back.

Dabi whispered in Shoto's ear "I know bathing sounds awful, but it will be over soon. We'll go slow and if you want be to stop we'll take a break okay?"

Shoto hummed in reply.

Dabi moved Shoto around in his arms so he was carrying him bridal style. Then lifted him off the bed and down the stairs. Shoto made no struggle on the way to the bathroom.

"Alright let's strip you to your boxers, then we can start."

Shoto took off his brothers spare sweats that were way too long for him. Then began moving his shirt over his head but gasped.

"Hey, let me do that for you."

Dabi raised the shirt over his head, revealing more of the bandages that covered his brothers body.

"Alright, it's all yours step in Shoto."

Shoto stood in the tub and sat down, there wasn't much in terms of injures on his lower half. He sat in the water, not wanting to go any further into the water.

"Little bitch, get under."

Shoto just sat looking at the water around him. Before Dabi grabbed him by the chest and back and pushed him under.

"Ahhhh" Shoto screamed and thrashed. "No more please stop!"

Dabi lifted Shoto out of the water into his arms. Shoto whimpered and shook while shoving his face into Dabi's chest.

"Shhh I know Shoto, it'll be over soon. We need to do this, or else you're going to be more hurt." Dabi softly said into Shoto's ear.

Once Shoto had stopped shaking he started to lower his brother back into the water. He started to whimper and cry, tears streamed down his face. Shoto clenched his teeth trying his best not to cry out again.

Dabi heart felt like cracking, seeing his baby brother cry made him want to burn the apartment building down. He never wanted to see his brother hurt like this again, it made his blood boil.

Shoto let out more cries, nothing hurt more than his brother crying. Knowing that he was in pain and suffering made Dabi's eyes water. He blinked a few times and focused more on bathing Shoto.

The bandages come off easier now that he was in the water. He peeled them off his brothers skin as he was shaking.

10 more minutes of torture went by and Dabi was satisfied that the cuts wouldn't get infected anymore.

He picked his shaking brother out of the bath and set him on the edge while towelling him off. Shoto seemed very out of it, he was shaking and his eyes were glazed over.

Once he was dry he carried him back to his room and set him on a chair in one of the corners.

"Shoto I need you to change okay."

He nodded with glassy eyes. And Dabi left the room.

Dabi came back in 10 minutes later with fresh bandages and ointments. Shoto sat on the chair with new boxers and sweats looking just about ready to pass out. Shoto stood up and Dabi guided him to the bed. He began wrapping the fresh bandages around his brother. When he was done he let Shoto be and started making dinner.
