I REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT!- Dabi x Hawks (Hotwings) ROYAL AU

Chapter 12- The Public

~Deku's POV~ This is new for this sorry! 

"Wait what? You aren't serious right?" I asked. Mr. Aizawa had just come into my dorm room. It was around four in the morning on Friday. 

"He was assassinated, according to the castle cameras...he had fallen asleep in one of the studies and then Tomura Shigaraki came in and used his quirk on All Might's chest. I'm sorry." 

"I-" I started balling my eyes out. This couldn't be real. Aizawa gave me a gentle hug. "I'd appreciate some alone time please." He nodded and left. Maybe if I'd visited him last night this wouldn't have happened...

I'd fallen asleep but now someone was knocking on my door. "Who is it?" I called out. "Uraraka." 

"Come in." 

Uraraka walked in. "Hey Deku...I thought you'd need someone to talk to..." she said softly. "Hey." We talked for an hour or two. "I never got to say goodbye or show him that I really could be a great hero so that all his hard work wouldn't be pointless." I sobbed into her shoulder while she softly rubbed my back. Even she was crying a bit now. "He'll always be in our hearts..." 

~Hawks POV~ 

Dabi had gone to sleep in my bed as usual. I couldn't sleep. Maybe if I had gone for night patrol instead of the date All Might would still be alive, just maybe. Don't get me wrong I'd had a great time but was it worth the happiness of everyone else? I would dwell on how amazing my date was but all that filled my heart was bitterness. The heroes would soon have to deal with the public, coronate Endeavour, and plan All Might's funeral. Now I'd have to pretend to like Shigaraki to make sure no one else gets hurt. I spent the rest of the night staring at the ceiling and after a while I fell asleep. I woke up at around eleven A.M. Then my phone started ringing. My bedroom door swung opened. 

"Baby, here's your phone" Dabi yawned and tossed my phone at me. Just the sight of him made me blush remembering last night. I caught my phone and he turned around and winked at me. "I'm going back to bed."

I looked down at my phone and it was Eraserhead calling. 

Hawks- Hey, what's up?

Eraserhead- The public needs to hear something right now before they burn the city down or something crazy like that. Come to the front of the palace. 

He sounded exhausted. 

Hawks- I'll be right there.  

Eraserhead- Be quick. Don't wear your hero suit wear something more formal like a suit. 

Hawks- Ok. 

I hurried and wore one of the only formal pieces of clothing I had. Now I was arriving at the front of the palace. Below crowds of people were gathered at front of the castle gate. Some were yelling and others looked like they were genuinely scared for their lives. There were a few littles kids holding onto their parents for dear life. I also noticed that Tora was here and the very back of the crowd. 'How was she allowed to be here?' I thought. On the stage Aizawa, Mirko, and Endeavor sat on the bench. 

I flew to the side of the stage and walked onto it. I joined them and sat next to Mirko. She wore a white pantsuit which looked great. Usually she smiled a bunch but a frown was cemented onto her face. 

"What does the King's death mean for everyone else?" a reporter shouted. 

"Let's begin" Aizawa stood up. A reporter raised their hand. Aizawa nodded in their direction. "Who is going to be the next ruler and when will the coronation take place? the reporter asked.
