Stockholm syndrome 《Dabi X Hawks》

chapter 18. 《just not the same.》

3rd person.

Next morning-->

Dabi was woken up when his phone was exploding with messages and notifications.
'Didn't I switch it off yesterday??'
Dabi tiredly reached for his phone is his pocket, switching it on to see what the hell was going on.

Messages kept coming up, when Dabi read the name with his tired eyes he saw that it was the group chat with Toga and Twice called 'Nutjobs♡'
(Toga added the heart)
When he clicked on the group to see the hype, his face heated up in an instant.

Apperantly Toga took a picture of him and Hawks asleep not too long ago.
Dabi's eyes were closed and his head and back was leaning against the wall, while Hawks' head was on his lap, curled up into a ball trying to keep himself warm.

Dabi's eyes slowly adverted from his phone, to the sleeping hero on his lap that seemed peaceful.
His face heated up and he covered his face.
'WHY IS HE SO CUTE?!' Dabi's voices yelled in his head.

Nutjobs♡

Patches.
'WTF DO YOU GUYS WANT?!'

Copy-n-paste
'Dabi!! IS IT TRUE?? Its not photo shopped?!'

Toga♡
'Ofc it's true- he never speaks on this group and now when this happens he does.'

Patches
'No that's defently photo shopped.'

Dabi hoped Twice would believe his lie, since he always fell for it.

Dabi slowly got off the bed without waking up sleeping beauty and stared at him for a while before exiting the room.

"Dabi!!" Toga yelled in her usually high pitched voice, even though it was 6.45 am.

"Shut your mouth, you're being loud, you don't want Shigy going off again with being loud." Dabi said in a low voice, yet terrifying.

"Oh he can go screw himself!"
Toga said. "Anyway.-"

"No." He plainly said as he took a glass out of the cupboard.

"But-"

"Nope not listening!" Dabi half yelled, walking to his room with a glass of water.

Hawks-->

Hawks' eyes slowly fluttered open, staring at the floor a while realizing the warmth wasn't there when he was asleep, it was cold without someone. His wings slowly covered his body, trying to replace the warmth but it wasn't the same.

Just...not the same.

He missed the feeling.
Someone next to him...like a friend.

That word tasted bitter in his mouth, his heart didn't like that word, his brain repeating the word over and over and over-

"Oi bird face!" Said a loud familiar voice that made his heart flutter and maybe skip a beat.

The door flung open and Hawks flinched a bit.
Dabi stood there, in the door frame, staring at the half awake hero who's broad red wings covered his body, making him look like a BIG red fluff ball.
It made Dabi wanted to just pet his wings. It was even more fluffier since it was early winter.

Hawks grunted, he was still tired even though he had his best good night's sleep in months.
"What?" He asked in annoyance, forgetting who he was speaking to.

"Wooh." Dabi said in a amazed voice, then making it sound serious."Remember who you are speaking to."

Hawks immediately shut his mouth, the tone of his voice reminded of stuff he didn't want to remember, but still did. "Sorry." He mumbled.

Dabi was sorta taken aback when the hero apologized.
'This isn't like him, he's usually full of himself.'

Hawks pushed himself off the warm-ish duvet, shivering from the sudden rush of coldness.

"Come on, I know you hate this, but trust me I hate it more."

Hawks sadly knew what he was talking about. He hesitated before taking off his shirt, struggling a little with his wings as usual.
The only warmth he got was his bandages that was rapped tightly around his chest and his one shoulder.

"Whole thing." Dabi said as he got the stuff he needed.

"Fine." Hawks tried to get off his bandages but realized it was tied behind his back.
"I kinda need help-"

"Dumb chicken." Dabi mumbled before walking over to help.
His warm hand touched Hawks' cold back, making him shiver.
He slowly undid the bandages, revealing colorful bruises, red burn marks and a few cuts that was slowly healing.
Dabi just stared at the bruises, he didn't do this much...he only hit him in the stomach once or twice, he didn't use his quirk to harm him.

"Who did this?"
