"Nope not doing this!" You wagged your finger in the air, holding it high so that everyone could see. "Not today, maybe another day yeah?" You pushed Bakugo out of the apartment. "It was really nice seeing you again red and Mina-"

"No way, I can't believe he's fucking here." She turned to Kirishima then, still with that gaping expression. "And you two know each other!"

"We're roommates," he scratched the back of his neck. Bakugo let out a 'tch' from where he stood out in the hall.

"Well isn't that sweet, roommates with roommates, real nice love story anyways you have to go now too." You said now pushing the other man out into the hall as well. "And you," you turned to face Mina your body blocking the doorway. "Bakugo made breakfast, I didn't eat it, you can just have my plate." You then closed the door, locking it behind you and leaving her alone in the apartment. The two boys stared at you wide eyed.

"The hell was all that? The fuck's wrong with you?"

"I told you I didn't want you here when she got back." You had started walking down the hall forcing him to listen and follow or get left behind in the silence. "But nooo," you looked over your shoulder to glare at him. Once again it was as if Kirishima simply wasn't here. "You had to go and be nice. Why don't you just leave in the morning like everyone else?" You looked forward again afraid that you might fall down the stairs if you weren't careful.

"You think he's nice?" Kirishima spoke up from where he stood at the back of the line.

Bakugo shot him a nasty look only for it all to melt when he looked at your back. "Because I wanted to fucking stay, why are you kicking me out?"

"Because I want you to go." Whoops, "that was on accident." You were at the bottom of the stairs now. "I didn't mean it like that Bakugo, really it was just-" He wasn't looking at you, instead he was holding a hard stare with Kirishima. Taking the hint the redhead left, he didn't want to stick around anyways. You fucked up, "right now's not a good time." That's a shit excuse, you know it's a shit excused.

"When's a good time," he was getting in your space. "When's your life gonna be calm enough for you to have time for me? You know what I think," another step into your space. "I think you are embarrassed, I don't think you're ready I think you're lying. If there's nothing there just say that, don't want to waste my fucking time with you."

"I'm a waste of time," you put your hands on your hips.

"Apparently," he barked. He leaned into your face, his lips just barely brushing against yours. "You can take back your stupid little kiss." He spoke against your skin, kissing you goodbye. He stood up straight then stepping right back out of your face. "I don't want your pity gifts, you can't just by my forgiveness. Least not at that price," he mumbled. From where he stood he was nothing but shadow again, dark hazy eyes burning at their brightest. "Don't forget what I said about that look. When you set their world on fire, yours burns too." He left, and all you could was why hadn't you reached for him? Why hadn't you begged him to stay? Did your pride really matter that much? Couldn't you afford to lose it a little, how much would it cost you to get him back?

The brass knuckles in your pocket were heavy and made you grind your teeth every time they banged together. It was blistering hot today and here you were clothed head to toe, in black no less. You had no clue where yo were going, what you were looking for and you weren't even really sure why anymore. What was your plan here? Just walk around town until you found them, in broad daylight might I add. And what if you did find them? The fire starter and the vampire, what then? She'd drain you dry and then he'd go and burn the ashes with that stupid lighter of his. They had attacked Mina!

You weren't thinking properly.

But you were so clear headed when you had made this decision.

Right?

"Bold of you to dress like that, better be careful though lots of people here don't like that stuff."

"They can fuck off and shove it up their ass while their at it." You barked at the voice.

"You got a mouth on you."

It was coming from above you, "as much as you got opinions." There he was, yet another blonde. Ugh what was it with all these damn blondes, this was like the fourth one already. His eyes were yellow but not the same way Mina's were. His weren't as vibrant or friendly, he smiled like Mina did but that gaze... it was hard, firm like a callous he had developed. His dress shirt was black, his vest gold. Like you the man wore black chelseas, to match the shirt and tie. His pants however were gold just like his vest. "What's up with the eye linear," you squinted at him. A grown man in a tree, who would have thought.

"What's up with your clothes?" He jumped down then landing without a sound. "We both made bold fashion choices no?"

"What do you want?"

"Someone's in a mood."

"Not a good one."

He laughed, "I like you. You got a job?"

"What you need a secretary?"

"Ehh something like that, here." He pulled a business card from his back pocket. "I need attitude and spunk, you know something to balance out all this charm." He winked at you, you took the card. Great someone else that worked for the police. "They call me Hawks."

"They," you looked at him skeptically. He put a finger to his lips like a child with a secret.

"It was lovely meeting you baby bird." He brought your hand up to his lips giving you a kiss on the back of it.

"Yeah, we're not doing that." You sucked in air through your teeth.

Hawks chortled, "see this is why we're gonna get along great." He waved behind him, strolling down the sidewalk. "So the kiwi bird's turned into a turtle dove, very interesting." The man muttered to himself. With Dabi and Toga now in town so where all the other reasons you had left in the first place. This spiderwebs had more strings then you were aware of and the more you pulled at the more vibrations you sent out, it was only a matter of time before the spider came to do something about it.
