It'll be alright. I'm here

Chapter 1.

It was a relatively normal day. Well that was until Hawks got back to his apartment that is. A familiar yet unknown fuzzy feeling filled his head. He couldn't explain it. Normally after a long patrol or a day were villains just seemed.. strong. To strong.

As he walked to his kitchen he saw a juice box, left in the fridge from God knows were. He had the urge to down the juice and call it a day. Which was odd, as Hawks normally didn't drink juice. Although he was hungry like really hungry, cooking just seemed like an impossible task. So he said fuck it and drank the damn box of mostly artificial juice but God. Did it taste like the best darn thing ever.

He got on his phone which was oddly hard to operate, at the moment and scrolled through a miracle brought by God himself called Doordash. Although his phone seems oddly hard to operate today, he found a chicken place that looked pretty damn good and started to look for his wallet. Well that took about 30 minutes before he found the damn thing in his back pocket. What was wrong with him today?

He placed his order and sat on the couch waiting on his food to get here. He couldn't help like he was missing something.. he couldn't quite wrap his head around it tho. He lay there until he realized that shit. He had a meeting with dabi today. "Shit" He said a little loud, he got off the couch, grabbed his phone from the counter to tell dabi he couldn't meet today.

He texted a short 'Sorry can't meet today' Thinking nothing of it. He was just so exhausted and didn't have the energy to meet with dabi today.

After about an hour his food had arrived. He tipped the driver and went back into his apartment. Well a 12 dollar tip was quite a bad choice. His food was cold and his fries were soggy. He felt like crying. Crying. Over a meal? No no no why would a pro hero cry over something so simple as a cold meal? Its not like this hasn't happened before. So why now does he feel so devastated...

He was getting ready to say fuck it. And throw the damn chicken sandwich in the microwave until his hand slipped and every thing fell to the ground. And well Hawks couldn't do this anymore. He started to sob.. well wail really. He just fell to the floor and wailed. Today was just so hard. Everything was going wrong. Everything. He couldn't even microwave a sandwich right! He subconsciously started to suck his thumb as a way to calm himself.

He continued to wail and the ground for a solid 25 minutes before his window opened. Scared he jumped up and ran to his room diving under the bed. He tried to stay as silent as possible but he just couldn't. Out of pure fear he started to cry once again. Loud footsteps could be heard coming towards his room. Heavy boots hitting the hardwood floors.

They stopped at the foot of his bed only for the figure to crouch down and look and the crying man wrapped in his wings and shaking. When he peaked through his feathers he was met with a very confused looking dabi. Dabi.. dabi was here. In his apartment. Watching him cry and shake under his bed over him breaking into his apartment. Which dabi did a lot. Because this man could not physically just use the front door like a normal person. Take it dabi was anything but normal but still!

Hawks immediately stopped crying. And in a act to try and get any form of comfort lunged and dabi pulling him into a tight hug. Dabi flinched back not expecting this at all. "What the fuck are you doing?" Dabi asked in a grumpy, confused and slightly concerned tone. To which Hawks did not respond he just clutched dabi like hmif he let go he would designate.

This went on for a solid 5 minutes before Hawks pulled away and rubbed his eyes, red and puffy from all his crying. He was tired, frustrated, overwhelmed, and hungry. Dabi sighed and asked the simplest question he could in this moment. "How old are you?" He asked with a straight face. To Which Hawks looked at him and said. "M' Dunno"

Dabi gave a slight nod and asked. "Can I pick you up bud?" Hawks gave a small nod and reached his arms out. Dabi lifted him and carried him to the kitchen so see the mess. "Oh shi- shot" dabi corrected. He sat Hawks on the couch and stepped out to the kitchen and cut up and few strawberries. He put them in a glass bowl as he couldn't find a plastic one. Odd. He thought. You would think a little would have some form of gear. Maybe Hawks just had hid stored somewhere else.

He walked over to the couch and held out a quarter of a strawberry to Hawks's lips. "Open up" Said dabi. To which Hawks ate the strawberry. This went on until the bowl was done and Hawks was satisfied enough to hold him over. He yawned and rubbed his eyes once again. He was obviously exhausted. Dabi picked Hawks up and carried him to his room. "Ok bud, do you think you can get into some pj's?" Dabi asked unsure. Hawks nodded even though at this point he wasn't sure if he could. Dabi stepped out and let Hawks change. A little bit later Hawks came out in a sleep shirt and sweats. Dabi picked him up and placed him in bed tucking him in. He was getting ready to leave to clean the mess in the kitchen when Hawks grabbed the hem of his shirt. Dabi turn around and gave him a confirmation look. "Stay.. Pwease" Hawks said in a small voice. Dabi smiled and sat on the edge of the bed as Hawks wrapped himself in his wings.

It didn't take long for Hawks to fall asleep. Poor thing must have been exhausted. Dabi stepped out and started to clean the mess on the floor. After that he did the small emount of dishes in the sink. A knife,bowl,fork,and cutting board. He cleaned those setting them on the drying rack. He shut off the lights and left through the window once again.
