Chapter 3 - Secrets

Hawks let the boiling hot water from the shower head drip down his body. The blonde had been in the shower ever since he had gotten home from his meeting with Endeavor. He was beyond stressed, from hiding Dabi in his apartment to his idol and mentor pestering him with questions.

"Do you happen to know where Dabi went after the raid?"

"You seem upset, are you?"

The pro hero's voice echoed in his brain. Having to keep a secret as big as hiding a villain in his home to the person he looked up to was difficult. The hero had been standing in the small glass shower, not doing a single thing. Hawks lifted his head up and let the water drip down and off his face. He wiped away the water that was keeping his eyes closed before running his fingers through his wet, dripping hair.

A bang on the bathroom door made the blonde jump. "Keigo, you've been in there forever. Get out." Dabi's voice could be heard from the other side of the door. Hawks stayed silent. He was visibly stressed and wanted to calm himself before going out and seeing Dabi. The hero did not have the courage to tell him about his meeting with his father.

"What are you doing in there you asshole? Get out of the bathroom before I go in there myself!" Dabi's raspy voice became louder. "Oh my god, I'll be out in five!" Hawks raised his voice back before turning the handle of the shower off. Grabbing a towel off the rack, he dried off his hair a little before wrapping it around his waist. He used his hand to wipe away the condensation on the mirror over the sink to look at himself.

His eyes hung low, shoulders slightly slouched and he could see the steam from the hot water coming off his body. Hawks shook his head at himself before walking over and opening the bathroom door. Dabi was waiting at the door, and his eyes widened a little seeing the blondes face. "Wow. You look like shit." The villain pushed passed him and shut the door, leaving Hawks in the living room alone.

The hero grabbed the first pair of clothes he found in the drawer in his bedroom before climbing onto his bed and laying down. His bed smelled different. It smelled like Dabi. Hawks' pillow, sheets, everything had the scent of the other. The blonde almost liked it, and he nuzzled his face into the pillow. His eyes closed, and at last there was a moment of contentment. The feeling didn't last very long. He was interrupted by the villain's low voice.

"K, what the fuck was that about?" Dabi asked before making himself comfortable and sitting on the bed. "Nothing, Dabi. It's not important, I promise." Hawks was muffled a little by the pillow. "Really? You're not going to tell me?" The dark haired male questioned, a sincere one. The villain wanted to know what was bothering the other. This feeling felt odd, he wasn't usually sympathetic like this to another person at all. Especially a hero.

"No, I'm not. Get over yourself. You don't get to know everything that's going on inside my head." The blonde sat up to look at the other. Dabi let out a loud sigh before maintaining eye contact. "Whatever. Just continue to suffer then inside your head, I don't care."

"You're one to talk Patchwork. You definitely have a lot more issues than I do." Hawks rolled his golden eyes and let a small half hearted chuckle. "Oh yea? What do you know about me?" The villain narrowed his eyes and a blank look was displayed on his face. "I don't know anything Dabi, that's the thing. If we're supposed to trust each other, you might aswell reveal one thing about your past." The blonde gave a cocky smile to Dabi before making his way to sit next to him.

The darker haired male turned his head to look at Hawks. "Really? You want to know about why I turned out this way?" Dabi began to laugh, and it wasn't a good one. His laugh was menacing and he couldn't stop. The hero had a look of concern across his face. He couldn't understand what he was laughing at but it couldn't have been good.
