Darkness in the Light (BNHA)

Drink

**Dabi's POV**

I was enjoying a nice whiskey at the bar, and trying to ignore the smell of fried chicken next to me.

Then, Hawks came storming in, tossed a tape at Twice, and order himself a few shots. Hawk tore into the buckets of chicken. I was surprised by how angry he was eating the chicken while he did not make a mess. For a small guy, he can inhale his food. The six buckets of fried chicken was gone in a blink.

"Oh, I am touching myself tonight." Twice said before walking off.

Toga turned on the tv to watch the news.

"Come on! I painted a whole house with blood and all they talk about is Endeavor not being dead!" Toga shouted at the screen. "That is so not fair!"

"After the attack, Endeavor was in a coma but our new symbol of Peace is awake!" I heard something cracking next to me as I watched the news. "Sadly, we were not able to get anything from him. Pro Hero Hawks was there but they locked themselves in Endeavor's room. They have the greatest hero friendship. We wish we had a friendship like those two."

Everyone jumped at the sound of glass shattering. Everyone turned towards me because of habit of smashing the glasses. I turned to see that Hawk crushed the shot glass that he was holding. He moved slightly and I noticed something red on his collarbone. It looked like a fresh burn.

"Sorry, I will pay the glass." Hawk said quietly.

"At least you offered to pay instead of trying to make the walls smell of booze." Kurogiri stared at me as he commented.

He started to wipe up the blood, on the counter, that dripped out of his hand. It was doing more damage than good. I leaned close and reached to move the shirt. He jumped back and fell off his stool. This gave me a chance to see some of the mark, Property, on his collarbone.

"What's that on you?" I asked and he turned paler than a ghost.

"Nothing!" He squeaked out.

Toga reached from behind and moved the shirt. She didnt have a good angle to see it. There I saw words that made my blood burn.

"That looks bad, let me patch it up for you."

I helped him up and quickly covered up the burn. I knew that our group is a curious bunch.

'You and me, talk later.' I mouthed to Kurogiri.

I took Hawk to my room to patch it up because I need to make sure it doesn't scar. I had him sit on my bed as I got the first aid kit.

"Could you take off your shirt?"

The look in his eyes reminded me of a scared bird.

"Why?" I have seen the loud hero on tv and this quiet version seems wrong.

"To fix it and slowly get rid of it." He took off his shirt and his chest was covered in scars and burns. "How long has he been abusing you?"

"Eight years give or take."

Since we were about fifteen year years old, since I have been gone. I should have took him with me when I ran away. He didn't deserve to suffer like this. No one deserves to suffer at the hand of Enji Todoroki.
