Keigo curled up next to the ex-villain, his wings wrapped tight around the smaller frame. His honey-coloured eyes stared into the bright blue ones, a soft smile playing on his face. Dabi looked at the hero with tired eyes. '' Kei? Do you think I can be an actual hero?'' Hawks looked down at him, nodding with a bright smile. ''I do. You'd be a great hero. Your story would help so many others..'' Keigo muttered softly, his wings adjusting as Dabi cuddled closer to his chest. ''We still have the U. A dance to go to, as well. Will you be okay in such a crowded place?'' The tired man didn't respond instantly. He took a few seconds before nodding. ''I can handle it. You'll be there with me, Kei.'' Dabi sighed loudly before cuddling against the soft skin of his boyfriend, one of his hands tangling into the red feathers of his wing. His other hand reached up to hold Keigo's, running his thumb across the long claws on the tips of his fingers. "Dabi, you know I don't like those.." "Hush. I love them, Keigo. So sharp, yet they never pierce the skin. You have so much control over your quirk." The blond rolled his eyes, chuckling. "The oh-so powerful Dabi, truly a big sap." His snort was cut off by a flick to his forehead, only to make him cackle. "I regret everything. No more compliments for you." As if to emphasize his point, Dabi let go of his hand and flipped over to face away from Keigo, letting his arms hang out from the soft wings. "Nonono! I'm sorry, fledgling! Please turn back around!" Hawks whined, trying to scoop Dabi's arms back into his wings with little shakes. "Hmph! You don't get any cuddles then!" Keigo tugged his wings out from under Dabi's body, hugging them close to himself. The two sat in silence for a few moments before Dabi rolled back over to cling to the Hero's side. After years of being feared or hated, even as a child, Dabi rarely got any sort of physical affection. Keigo smiled softly, holding him close. "Sleep, Lil Raven. We have a big day tomorrow."
"Keigo? Does this suit look okay? Y'know..with my-" "Your scars are beautiful, you look amazing." He came up behind his tall boyfriend, running a talon over the rough skin. They both wore a simple black suit, matched with a red and black tie. Dabi turned around, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead. "You look..wow." Keigo's face flushed a light pink. "Dabi-" "Keigo Takami if you dare disagree with me, I will divorce you." The blond snorted, burying his face into the soft fabric. "Dabi, we aren't even married!" "So that's what I forgot to ask." The two chuckled until Dabi went silent. "Fledgling? What's wrong?" The hero looked up at him. "Kei...Is it really a good idea to bring me?" Dabi pulled away and began pacing through the small apartment, fidgeting with the black tie around his neck. "I'll ruin your reputation, or we'll get attacked, or-" "Ssshhh. If they try, I'll gently attack them with very aggressive words." The shorter blond came back up behind him, a pair of large, red wings wrapping around Dabi's body. "Okay but-" He sighed loudly as a red feather swatted at his nose. "C'mon. You ready, my darling Phainopepla?" Keigo spun Dabi around to face him, pressing a quick kiss to his forehead before hugging him. "Another bird?" "Yup! Now, let's go!" The hero chuckled, grabbing the scarred hand in his own before leading his boyfriend out of the apartment.
The two arrived at the gates of U.A. Keigo showed their passes, one of the guards stepping aside to let them pass. Keigo held onto Dabi's hand, leading him through the halls. "How do you know this place so well?" "Tsukoyami brought me to meet Tentacole, his boyfriend, one day. He pointed out the gym on our way to meet him." Keigo smiled, remembering how relaxed his trainee had become when he knew Hawks approved of Shoji. Dabi nodded slowly, running his thumb over the smooth talons. "Take a deep breath, Starling," Keigo spoke softly before pushing open the door to the gym. Dabi saw kids and teachers dancing to a slower-paced song. Well, they were dancing. Loud voices carried harsh words, as well as screams, through the crowd. Keigo tightened his grip on his hand, his wings spreading aggressively. He didn't hear much of the loud, blond DJ, his main focus on the claws on his boyfriend. "C'mon." Keigo smiled up at him. "Shall we dance?" The room was so quiet, hearing every word the Pro Hero said. "Y-yeah, sure." Keigo led Dabi into the crowd, the students moving quickly out of the way as if to avoid Dabi. The two stood in the center of the room. Dabi wanted to run. He wanted to leave. He wanted out. But he stayed. The warm, comforting smile his boyfriend gave him calmed him right down. "I requested a song for when we got here." Keigo smiled, wrapping his arms around Dabi's neck. In response, Dabi gripped onto his waist. "Oh really? What did you-" Dabi was silenced by a sweet kiss, music filling his ears. "It's all about us, my love." Keigo chuckled against his lips, moving slowly to the song. The crowd of students had backed off as if they were making room for the giant red wings in the center of the gym. "The rooms hush-hush and now, it's our moment." Dabi rolled his eyes as Keigo sang along loud enough for him to hear. "Stop squawking, Pretty Bird." Dabi swayed perfectly in time with Keigo's body, his face tinted pink. "Can you hear that, love? They're playing our song~" Hawks smiled up at him, pulling a hand away from around Dabi's neck to interlock fingers with a hand on his hip. The ex-villain smiled. "Do you think we're ready? I'm really feeling it." He responded, Keigo's eyes lighting up. "It's all about us..." The two smiled at each other as the song ended. Cheers from the students and a few teachers filled the emptiness the music had left behind. ''Keigo..'' Touya looked down at his blond boyfriend, smiling softly before hugging him tight to his body. "Careful, people will figure out you're actually a big softie." Keigo chuckled before kissing the rough skin of his boyfriend's cheek.
After the music shut off for the night, Keigo began leading Touya out of the gym. "Excuse me, Mr. Hawks, but I wish to speak with you and Mr. Todoroki-" "I go by Takami, Eraserhead," Touya spoke up, hating the thought of being back under his fathers' control. ''Right, of course. Mr. Takami and Mr. Hawks, I have a young daughter that could possibly be able to heal your scars. I figured perhaps I should maybe ask you to see if you'd wish to come to see her." "...All of them?" Keigo gripped Touya's hand as soon as his tall boyfriend spoke. "Yes." Aizawa began. "Her quirk allows her to reverse time, therefor healing the bodies of people affected. She has difficulties controlling it, so I would be in the room as well." Touya looked down at Keigo, then at the black-haired hero. "Bring me hair dye for that day and I'll do it, Eraser." Aizawa nodded without questioning the request, turning on his heel and walking towards the direction of his husband, Present Mic.
"Touya, we're gonna be late!" Keigo whined from the kitchen, adjusting his Queen t-shirt to fit his wings. Would Touya be mad he ripped his favourite Queen shirt? Maybe. Does Keigo care? No, he really didn't. "Stop your squawking, birdy. I'm coming." The hero grinned widely when he saw his boyfriend come around the corner into the kitchen with him, tugging him into a brief kiss. While Keigo was surprised, he took pride in knowing he could bring Touya a bit of calmness before they left.
Once they arrived at the small hospital, Touya had to practically be dragged inside. "You'll be fine, we can dye your hair in the bathroom in her room right after, I promise." "Papa, why is there a birdie here?" Waiting near the check-in rooms was Eraserhead holding a small girl that seemed to be clinging to his neck. "Eri, this is Hawks and his boyfriend, Touya. Today Touya is here to see you in hopes of you helping him."
