Shinji had fallen asleep in Dabi's arms by the time they got to the Todoroki Family home. "Look Kei, It seems all we've been able to do is fight, I just can't fight tonight. Not when I have to see them. Can we just put everything aside for now? I need you." He reached his hand out to Hawks. 

Hawks grabbed Dabi's hand and squeezed it tight, "Yeah, lets just get through this night."

"Thank you," Dabi sighed and opened the front door, as if he still lived there. 

He took a deep breath before walking into the house. It hadn't changed much since he was a child, and it unsettled him. He made his way to the living room, almost on instinct. He had only seen the place twice since he'd burned on the hill, but the last time he'd been there he had been more worried about his son to notice anything about the place. 

Now it felt as though all the old memories from his childhood were crashing down around him. He felt like a child again, wanting for nothing more than to be recognized by his family. He shook his head, trying to chase away those thoughts.

"Baby, are you ok?" Hawks placed an arm around Dabi and Dabi realized that he had been standing in the entrance to the living room, not moving. 

"Um, yeah we should go in," Dabi took a deep breath and pushed the door open, immediately seeing his family all sitting in the living room. 

Fuyumi jumped up from where she was sitting, and ran to throw her arms around Dabi. He took a step back from her. "Don't touch me. I don't want to be here, and I hate all of you."

Dabi stepped passed Fuyumi and sat down on the couch, ignoring everyone else in the room.

"I'm sorry, I uh  made him come tonight." Hawks gave a nervous wave and sat next to Dabi.

Dabi chuckled under his breath and whispered to Hawks, "You made me come, huh?"

"Touya!" Hawks whisper shouted.

Natsuo sat across from Dabi, his eyes glued to him, looking as if he had seen a ghost. 

"Why are you staring at me Natsu?" Dabi tilted his head to the side.

"Y- you're alive?" Natsuo whispered, "But you- you died?"

"Oh my god, Natsu," Fuyumi covered her mouth with her hand, "Did no one tell you?"

"Tell me? That my brother is still alive, no." Natsuo clenched his fist, "No one told me anything."

"Hi, I'm alive," Dabi rolled his eyes, "also I have a kid, I'm married, and I don't know how to tell you all this last part, but I think it's time that I tell you. I'm gay."

"Touya, do you think you're funny?" Hawks pursed his lips, "I thought it was obvious that you were gay. We're married."

"You married Hawks?" Natsuo looked stunned, "I thought that Enji and Hawks were like a thing or whatever. Its been all over the hero gossip blogs for years."

"What?" Hawks looked at Natsuo in horror. "People think that I'm dating Endeavor? I would never."

"There was that one time," Endeavor said, speaking for the first time since they'd arrived. 

Hawks' lip quivered, "Enji, I told you. It was a mistake, please don't ever bring it up again. I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to think about it. I'm married now, just let it stay in past."

"Do you want to go home?" Dabi turned to Hawks, "We can go if you want."

"It's fine," Hawks shook his head, "I just won't talk about it, and if anyone tries to then we'll go home." He shot a glare at Endeavor.
