Tonight, Dabi found himself sitting under a tree.
And tonight, Hawks found himself staring down at him.
"...I came back for my coat."
"...Is that really all?"
"Yeah."
Hawks didn't believe him. Dabi didn't believe himself even more.
So they sat. Not saying anything. Listening to the whistle of the air passing through the tree's branches.
"...You said you hoped Endeavor would rescue you, didn't you?"
Hawks didn't reply.
"...I did too."
"...Huh?"
"I hoped he'd try to rescue me, too."
"He was the only hero I really knew back then. But you... Why him? Specifically?"
Dabi shook his head, lighting a small fire in the palm of his hand. It didnt hurt anymore. He'd wish it was a cool sentence he could say, but the truth is he had just burned almost all his nerve endings, which were buried under the rotting skin of his palm anyways.
He held it out infront of him, quietly listening to the crackling of the flames.
Hawks didn't like how similar it sounded to Endeavor's flames.
"...Because I'd hoped he'd try to rescue his own son."
