The league decided they seriously needed to talk with Hawks and called him over when they knew he was free.

Hawks: Whats up guys, why do you all look so grim?

Shigaraki: We are. Sit down Hawks we really need to talk

Hawks: *sits down* now im worried

Mr Compress: We were just worried on what we found out during your last visit....

Hawks: Oh Dabi tol you huh? Guys its nothing to worry about this happens all the time

Twice: Thats messed up man

Twice's other half didn't come up after that statement and that unsettled Hawks

Magne: Swetty its not normal for people to be treated like that

Hawks: Were talking about heros not people. Its normal with the industry

Spinner: Why are you talking about yourself like your not a person

Hawks: Don't so that

They suddenly froze when Hawks tone became more heated and angry, like he was holding himself back from pouncing.

Hawks: You guys are just like the rest, you don't see us as people, just annoying things thats in your way. You place all these expectations on us because you have your own ideas on what a hero is and when they fail you decide that there a fake and have them killed. I know I was a pretty face for others and j accepted that but don't start lying to me and acting like you care, at most im a fun distraction

Toga: We do care right guys!

Twice: Yeah! Your our best buddy!

Dabi: Were getting off topic

Dabi walked ober to Hawks and pushed him further into his chair, trapping him between his arms and glaring at Hawks with an intense look.

Dabi: It dosnt matter if we care or not, what matters is that you think its normal to be treated as shit

Hawks: What are you talking about?

Dabi: I did some further digging on you and found some pretty disturbing stuff. Not a single person in your life has ever cared about you so now you think its normal to have no one care

Hawks: i-Its not that personal Dabi its just a job. Im fine

Dabi: But your not fine

Hawks: I just have to work harder

Dabi: Why?

Hawks: So i can get used to it

Dabi: Why

Hawks: S-so I dont have to care about it anymore

Shigaraki: What about the newer heros?

Hawks visibly froze at that remark, as if thinking about the newer generation of heros scared him to his core.

Hawks: Why are you guys acting like you care about me?

Toga: We do care! Why don't you believe us!?

Hawks:.... *holds neck*Thank you, really but thats impossible for me

Hawks then grabbed the nexk part of his skin suit and pulled it down revealing two black hate bonds around his neck. The league gasped at that since it was rare to have more than one around your neck especially so late in life.

Hawks: Im an only child so these marks are from my parents. My father was an abusive criminal so it makes sense why he still hates me but...*sniff*

Hawks suddenly started shaking in his seat. When he looked up they saw a strained smile on his lips and tears welling in his eyes that refused to fall.

Hawks: Why dose she still hate me? Wasn't I useful? After she sold me so she could have an easy life I've kept track of her and made sure to never visit her so she didn't have to see me again....so, why?

He dosnt know what came over him. Maybe it was the soul mark? Maybe it was the similarities on needing to be useful? But suddenly Shigaraki came up and pulled Hawks into an Akaward hug.

Hawks couldn't believe what was going on. Not once in his life did anyone ever hug him to check if he was ok. The shock sent his body overflowing with emotions causing him to shake more and almost making the tears spill over, but he was still holding back.

Hawks: *sniff, hick* This is so stupid. Why do I always cry when something finally goes my way?

Dabi was suddenly hit with a huge moment of nostalgia, long ago in the past back on a certain mountain. The night where he discovered his blue flames he said the exact same thing. He suddenly saw Touya, a boy who just wanted to be seen. So he rushed to make sure that, that boy felt seen. He hugged Hawks, putting strength behind the hug and shaking with that last fear of rejection.

Hawks: Ah!......a....a.....ag......kkkch....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the breaking point for him. He finally let out 17 years of pent up emotions and the others knew not to jump in on their moment.

While this was all happening no one noticed the grey friendship bond form on Hawks wrist.
