Dabi
Disclaimer! Whenever Touya/Dabi and Kokoa have the song part, they are not talking about the other person. They are talking about AFO.
"Dabi!" Uravity shouted. Himiko managed to get a message to Dabi, saying they found Katsuki but no sign of Kokoa. Luckily, she said that she'd talked to him and Katsuki said that he had seen Kokoa. Jin said they could just attack Deika and then when the heroes managed to arrest the members of the Paranormal Liberation Front. Dabi informed Shigaraki what was happening and Shigaraki gave him the go-ahead. Shigaraki said that he would make sure no member left until the heroes attacked.
"What?" Dabi shouted back. You're still all over me, like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore.
"I found Toga!"
"Great." Dabi was working with Uravity, Creati, Earphone Jack, Chargebolt, Shoto, and Deku to find Shigaraki, Himiko, Jin, Spinner, Compress, and Kokoa. "Send her over to me and Deku and we'll notify the heroes."
"Dabi," Earphone Jack called. "I'm locating Kokoa. I sent Chargebolt over with Shigaraki and Twice."
"Alright, thanks."
"I got the bandages ready," Deku said. "Do you think we'll need them?"
"Maybe to wipe off blood but other than that no. They may have a couple of scrapes here and there."
"Right."
"DABI-NII!" Himiko and Jin shouted. They ran over and tackle-hugged Dabi. "We missed you." Dabi hugged them back. Hung my head as I lost the war! And the sky turned black like a perfect storm. The rain came pouring down.
"I missed you guys too," Dabi replied.
"Hey, Dabi," Shigaraki said. "Spinner and Compress went to find Kokoa. I told them to since the heroes don't know where she is."
"Thanks." Tomura was a couple of years younger than Dabi and saw him as a big brother. He got a happy glint in his eye and ran over.
"And guess what?!"
"What?"
"I can walk now!" Dabi chuckled and let go of Himiko and Jin to hug Tomura. "You missed it."
"I'll make you udon when we get to U.A."
"U.A?! We're going there?" Dabi nodded and Tomura hugged him again. Just then, Spinner and Compress ran over. And they hugged Dabi too. Btw Dabi's the oldest at 24. Then it's Spinner and Tomura at 19, Compress at 18, and then Toga and Twice at 17. Well and Kurogiri at 30.
"It's great to see you guys too."

"Dabi," Endeavor said, running over. "We have to take the whole building down. There are too many villains."
"Have you found Kokoa?" Dabi asked. It's been hours since the heroes arrive and only a couple since he was reunited with his friends.
"No. No such luck."
"We've asked captives but they said they don't know who she is," Shoto said. "Maybe if we collapse the building, she'll come out?" Dabi's stomach started to tie itself in knots all over again. Just when it had almost been untied. He bit his lip as he thought.
"I guess we can," Dabi mumbled. "Do what you think is best."
"I can decay it," Tomura offered. At Dabi's alarmed look, he specified. "I've been practicing. I'll be careful to make sure I don't decay any people." At this point, Dabi can only watch as the building comes crashing down. He can only pray to God that Kokoa is out and unharmed. Maybe trying to get over to him. There were plenty of heroes around she could ask. Dabi can barely feel Himiko hugging him. The pair waited for what felt like hours to see if they had found Kokoa. Soon, Shoto ran over to him.
"Did you find her?" When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe. And by morning. Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean...
"No, but we found someone that saw her."
"Well, where is she?" Dabi gently pulled away from Himiko.
"She was in the basement. According to Re-Destro, she stays there all day. And she was there when we collapsed the building..."
"WHAT?!" Dabi, Himiko, Uravity, and Deku shouted.
"Stop shouting."
"Why?" Dabi exclaimed. "You just collapsed a fuckin building on my best friend!"
"Do you want to find her or not?" Oh, oh, oh, oh, there was nothing left to do. Oh-oh, oh-oh. When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room. So I punched a hole in the roof. Oh-oh, oh-oh.
"Where?" Shoto led Dabi over to where some of the heroes had dug out a hole to the basement. "Does it go all the way down?"
"Yep. We found some stuff in there... it looks like they abused her." Dabi muttered a curse under his breath.
"And Bakugou?"
"Kirishima ran into him with Lolli." Dabi nodded and followed Shoto down the path. When they reached the bottom, there was pretty much nothing around. "They took all the evidence and put it away. Dad thought it would be best that you didn't see it." Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you. The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing.
"He thought right." A pile of blankets caught his eye. That seemed like a Kokoa hiding spot. "Kokoa?" He walked over and crouched next to it. It moved around a bit and a painfully familiar girl poked her head out. "Kokoa!"
"Touya!" Kokoa practically shouted. She threw her arms around his neck as he pulled her into his arms. They both started laughing before their laughs and giggles turned into sobs. "Thank you." That's all she kept saying to him as her tears slowly soaked his shirt. Her hair was the same although it looked lighter because of the dust. The rain came pouring down. When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe. And by morning. Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I think I am finally clean. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh. Said, I think I am finally clean. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
"I'm sorry. Gomen, I couldn't find you sooner." He rocked the two of them, still holding her close. Suddenly, she pulled away and slapped him.
"Why?! Why did you join the League!?" Dabi rubbed his cheek. He wasn't mad, she had every right to be mad at him. Dabi looked over at her. Kokoa still had tears streaming down her cheeks. The tears left two streaks of no dust on her face. "He used you against me! He made me kill people...and do horrible horrible things." She started to shake as her crying turned into sobs. "I hated it. I didn't want to do it. But he'd kill you...and Shoto and your family and whoever you cared about." Dabi opened his arms and Kokoa didn't hesitate to hug him again. He rubbed her back, trying to calm her sobs. Dabi was still crying himself. It's been eight years. And it made him realize he couldn't live without her. Ten months sober, I must admit. Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it... Ten months older, I won't give in! Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it. The drought was the very worst. Oh-oh, oh-oh. When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst. Oh
