What Have I Become?| DabiHawks Fanfic

Homeless

Hawks' POV

Complete darkness. I couldn't see anything. But I could feel something. It was like the echoing thought of something that I was told. 'You'll always be nothing but the shadow of a villain.'

I curled my small body into a ball and covered myself with the wings that I had inherited from my father. It was like there was a voice that was repeating to me that I would never amount to anything. That I would never escape my heritage. Maybe the voice was right. Maybe I am just like my father. Maybe I'm supposed to be a lowlife like he was. Maybe that's my destiny.

All I could feel at this point was the lingering pain from my cuts and bruises. I hope the feeling fades soon.

"Birdie! Wake up!" I slowly opened my eyes. I had fallen asleep while on my phone. Toga was waking me up. My phone had turned off and was next to me. My head was in my arms. I looked up at Toga and rubbed my eyes. "Rise and shine, pretty boy!"

I yawned and stretched my wings out. "How long was I out?"

Toga shrugged. "I don't know. A couple hours. We're the last people here now."

My eyes widened. "Really? Where'd everyone go?"

Toga shrugged. "I don't know. The only place they can go, I guess. Dabi left last. He always does. He sneaks into a vacant apartment. Jin left before him. He actually legally got a place. But that's only because the owner doesn't recognize him. Same with Mr. Compress. None of us really know where Shigaraki goes. But Spinner sleeps in alleyways and sometimes breaks into people's houses and sleeps in their attics."

I looked around at the floor. There was a pallet set up. "And you?"

Toga put her legs up in front of her on the stool and hugged her knees. "I'm a seventeen-year-old girl. What exactly can I do? I've got nothing except for this place. It's one of the reasons that I was so happy they accepted me. Here, I have a family. And a place to live. I barely even had that with my own family."

I looked back down at the pallet. I thought about how sad it was. I always thought that these people were just heartless criminals. That they didn't have feelings. But I was wrong. They're human, just like us. Toga's just a girl. She can't just get a random place. And it's so dangerous to be outside in the middle of the night even being a grown woman, much less 17.

I got off the booth and grabbed my phone, stuffing it in my pocket and then zipping it up so it doesn't fall out when I fly. I looked at Toga. She stopped hugging her knees and had gotten off of the stool. She bent down and put down another blanket on the pallet. I sighed and turned toward the door. "I'd better get home. By Toga."

She waved to me and smiled. "Bye, Hawks!"

I opened the door and walked out into the dark alley. The light disappeared as the door closed behind me. The cold air highlighted my breath. I rubbed my arms with my hands. Then I put my arms down and took flight into the sky, only making the air colder to my vulnerable skin. I flew through the air to my apartment.

I landed in front of the buidling and was about to go inside, but instead, I decided to fly up to the top of the roof. I landed at the top and sat on the edge, dangling my feet high above the ground below. And then it started to lightly rain, the cold water splashing on my face and wings.

(Some of you definitely understand what I'm doing with this part. If you understand, then I love you so much!)

Dabi's POV

It was cold tonight. Of course, this hotel decides to keep the electricity off in the vacant rooms, probably to keep people like me out. So instead of having a warm home, I had to cover myself in blankets. As I sat on the bed, I couldn't help but think about how hungry I was. I can't exactly march into a store with the money that I stole and grab some groceries.

I sat there silently, shivering, and wanting food. I tried to think of something else. I thought of Hawks. He seemed so awkward today. I couldn't help but smile at the thought. Kurogiri got really upset about the glass, but he blamed me. I didn't really care.

Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep. That's what I try to do when I get hungry. Because I don't have to feel the pain of hunger when I'm asleep.
