Roadtrip

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue over the landscape as Dabi and Hawks set off on their spontaneous road trip. The car hummed softly as it glided down the winding roads, but Hawks was anything but calm. He fidgeted in his seat, tapping his fingers against his thigh and glancing out the window every few seconds.

"Can't you sit still for just a minute?" Dabi chuckled, his eyes flicking from the road to his boyfriend. The corners of his mouth turned up in an amused smirk, a rare softness shining through his usual aloofness.

Hawks let out a small, playful huff. "I'm trying! It's just... the scenery is too pretty, and I feel like I need to stretch my wings!"

Dabi raised an eyebrow. "You know you could always just fly, right? You're the number two hero."

"Yeah, but I want to enjoy this with you! Just being in the car feels... cozy. But I've got all this energy!" Hawks grinned, his golden eyes sparkling with mischief.

With a small sigh, Dabi formulated a plan. "Okay, how about a distraction? Let's play a game. I'll ask questions, and you have to answer them without overthinking."

"Alright! Hit me!" Hawks leaned in, his excitement palpable.

"Okay, first question: If you could have any superpower besides your wings, what would it be?" Dabi glanced over, gauging Hawks' reaction.

"Easy! I'd want the ability to talk to animals. Just imagine all the adventures I could have!" Hawks said, his imagination running wild.

Dabi laughed, the sound rich and genuine. "You'd just end up with a bunch of stray cats following you home."

"Hey, that sounds like a dream!" Hawks countered, a playful pout forming on his lips.

"Okay, my turn! What's your favorite way to spend a lazy day?" Dabi asked, genuinely curious.

Hawks' eyes softened as he thought. "Just cuddling on the couch, maybe watching some cheesy movies. You know, the kind that makes you cringe but you can't help but love?"

"Sounds perfect," Dabi replied, his voice lower, almost intimate. "I could get used to that."

As they drove further, Dabi's hand found its way to Hawks' thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze. The warmth from the touch sent a flutter of comfort through Hawks, calming his restless energy just a bit.

"Okay, next question!" Dabi continued. "What's something you find irresistible?"

"Hmm..." Hawks pretended to think deeply. "I'd have to say someone who knows how to make me blush. Like you do."

Dabi's smirk widened, a hint of color creeping onto his cheeks. "You're smooth, you know that?"

"Only when it comes to you," Hawks replied, his voice softening as he met Dabi's gaze.

Just then, a sudden idea struck Dabi. He shifted slightly, leaning closer to Hawks, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "You know, I could always tickle you if you can't sit still..."

Hawks' eyes widened, and he instantly started giggling. "N-No! Not that! You know how ticklish I am!"

Dabi's grin turned devilish. "Exactly. So maybe you should focus on answering the next question... or else."

"No, no! I can do it! Just... don't you dare!" Hawks laughed, squirming in his seat.

As Dabi launched into another question, the car was filled with laughter and playful banter, the tension of the journey melting away. The road stretched ahead, but for them, time felt infinite.

Eventually, the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. Dabi turned on the headlights, and Hawks settled back, feeling the warmth radiating from Dabi beside him.

"Thank you for this," Hawks said, his voice sincere as he glanced at Dabi. "I love our little adventures, even if I can't sit still."

Dabi's expression softened, a rare vulnerability shining through. "I love them too. As long as you're with me, I'm happy."

Hawks beamed, leaning closer until their shoulders touched. The road ahead was long, but with Dabi by his side, it was a journey filled with laughter, warmth, and endless moments of joy.
