    Summary

    Hawks takes baby steps backwards, getting closer and closer to the door, as everyone continues to get loud and look at eachother for answers. Well, almost everybody; Dabi is watching him limp away with an unimpressed expression.

    “Those are torture wounds,” Shigaraki points out, crossing his arms and leveling Hawks with a dead-eyed stare.

    “How do you even know what torture wounds look like?” Hawks throws back as he continues to plan his escape. Shigaraki looks at him with raised eyebrows until Hawks looks away again, feeling like an idiot. These people are villains, he knows that (but its so easy to forget-).

    “Right, fuck.”

    Hawks flicks him a two fingered salute before turning tail like the coward he feels like and making for the door. He doesn't get more than four feet before Dabi grabs him by one of his wings and yanks him back.

    Summary

    Hawks manages to keep his baby a secret from Dabi for a grand total of two months. Once Dabi finds out about him, he starts coming around a lot more often, usually at night. These are snippets of their time together.

     
     

    Hawks smiles as he helps him to stand on wobbly feet, both thumbs lost in a tight-fisted grip. Toma coos at him and Hawks coos back. To his surprise—and Dabi’s, judging by the look on his face—Toma then turns and makes the same sound at him.

    Dabi huffs a breath and reaches out a hand to stroke over Toma’s fuzzy head.  

    “I don’t know how to make that sound, kid.”

    Summary

    “Oh, right” Dabi snorts, looking angry and sarcastic, “your life must be so hard.” He flings his hand out as if to showcase Hawks’ apartment, and the hero feels a hollow feeling nest in his chest as his tired eyes follow Dabi’s gesture. His apartment is nice, he knows that, but he also knows that it’s as empty as he feels right now. Even Dabi’s hand falters and drifts back to his side as he takes in the empty apartment with its blank walls and cream colored furniture. It could, Hawks supposes, be taken for stylishly minimalistic, rather than hardly lived in. And he just wants to sleep in his rarely used bed, he feels like falling over and his vision is blurry, but Dabi is staring at him, looking for answers that he doesn’t want to admit to. Hawks feels like he’s drowning as he chokes out a small agreement without looking the other man in the eyes. Dabi was right, in a way; he had everything he could ever want, and therefore no reason to complain. It didn’t matter what his apartment was like anyway. He was willing to bet money that he slept at his desk on top of reports more than he did in his room, or just his apartment in general. It was the life that he got for being a hero, and he embraced it.

    Summary

    The look that he gets is full of mock-sympathy.

     

    “I’ll call for a car,” she offers, not even bothering to wait for his reply before her heels start clicking across the polished floor. Hawks isn’t sure that he could give one right now, his voice still trapped somewhere in his chest, which feels too tight, so tight that he’s surprised that he can even breathe because they had grounded him and birds are meant to fly-

     

    The commission, displeased with his reliance on them, had taken his flight feathers, cut off the tips, and grounded him both literally and figuratively. He can’t fly like he’s meant to, like he always has. Instead, his wings are two useless, feathery lumps on his back, weighing him down as he blankly waits for a car to take him home for the first time since he’d moved into his own place. His wings flap, as if insisting that they could hold him long enough, that he doesn’t need a car to get home. 

     

    Hawks ignores them as he watches the commission’s car pull up in front of him.

     

    Or: Hawks is grounded (ha) and Dabi just has to show up to be a little bitchy but also helpful because that's just who he is

    Summary

    Dabi stumbles past him, bumping into the wall and turning to him with a strange expression on his face. The door shudders in its frame as it closes behind him. Hawks takes a deep breath- the first one he’s had all day, it feels like- because Dabi is in front of him, unhurt, and there is a clear barrier between the two of them and the others.

    Or: Hawks gets hit by a bullet that enhances the neatly buried parts of his animalistic quirk. Dabi is the recipient of his, uh, desire.
