I'm Not the Man You Knew (Depressed! Hawks)

Chapter 9

3rd POV

"What about?" Dabi asked, as kind and protective as he is, sometimes he can be clueless. He put the bike stand down while Hawks walked inside. He quickly followed Hawks inside and to see him walking up to the bedroom. "Hey baby wait-" Dabi ran up the stairs to meet his lover changing from his hero uniform to a casual outfit. 

Hawks took off his jacket after his boots and gloves. Then he took off his shirt and turned to the closet. Dabi came up behind Hawks and hugged him before he got a chance to put a shirt on. "How did I even get there?" The blonde asks. "And if you were there, why were my wings chained?"

"I found you in an alley passed out on the ground. I was so scared you were hurt and I couldn't take you to the hospital, all things considered. And one of the villains at the base is really good at telling what is wrong with a person. And Shigaraki must have put the chains on when I went out to catch up with the League." Hawks didn't turn to meet Dabi's eyes. So Dabi moved to the front of him and met his eyes. "Can we talk about what happened with you? Twice told me you passed out from an anxiety attack." Hawks just looked down at the cropped hoodie he was holding in his hands. He wasn't responding so Dabi stepped back and said he will meet him downstairs. 

Dabi took off his jacket, shirt, and pants and put on a light blue short sleeved V-neck and some basketball shorts. He hung his jacket up and walked downstairs.

Hawks put on the pastel pink crop hoodie and took off his pants to put on pastel green booty shorts. He always says they are comfortable. (I second that) He walked down the stairs to see Dabi lighting a candle on the coffee table. It was one of those Soul Terra branded candles, where if you burn them enough, you can find crystals. (Hawks (And I) believes that crystals have vibrations that have different frequencies that can protect you (from bad spirits) relax you, etc. Dabi does not believe in this but he supports Hawks with every fiber of his being.)

Hawks POV

I smiled at the scene before me. Dabi was lighting my favorite candle and starting the fire. He did it with ease as he just flicked his wrist and set the logs into a blue flame. He has learned to control how fast things burn with the temperature of his flames. I continued walking down the stairs and he looked up at me and smiled. 

He sat back down on the couch and I joined him and cuddled up. He laid back and put his back on the cushions and I fell on top of him and nuzzled my face into his neck. He always smelled like a campfire. Not like a smoker but the kind of campfire that you have in the summer nights and roast marshmallows and hot dogs. I wrapped my wings around him while them also falling the the floor.

"I miss this." He whispered. I hummed but then realized the two things I would have to tell him. Why I had the anxiety attack and the job. He sat up with me still leaning on his chest. "We have to talk about what happened. I adjusted my wings as I got off of him. "Keigo you can't just brush it off like nothing happened."

I looked him in the eyes. "I am accepting my new job."

"What is it?"

My hands started shaking but I hid them in my wings. 'I can't tell him. Make this believable Hawks.' "I am quitting my job of being a hero. I want to be a villain."

Dabi looked like he had his heart ripped out. "What...?" 

"You heard me. Heroes are so corrupted and they are all so obsessed with being popular. They all want to be number one and get rich. They are turning our society to ashes. I don't agree with hurting innocent people but I want to watch the heroes fall in my hands."

His eyes started going glassy and tears fell freely from his beautiful eyes. "Who the hell are you... you're not the same Keigo I knew." He got up and my hands started shaking more. 

"D- Dabi please, I am the same Keigo. P- please."

He ignored my words and pounced on top of me, holding my legs down with his and my arms and wings with his arms. "Who the hell. ARE YOU?!" He started warming up his hands and burning my forearms. I tried to hold in my lies of becoming a villain for as long as I could.

But I started shouting. "AHHG STOP! DABI YOU'RE HURTING ME!" His heat increased as I screamed more. "ITS MY JOB! ITS MY NEW JOB!" With that he immitiatly ripped his hands off my arms. As tears flowed down my face, I added, "I have to go undercover as a villain. The job is being a spy for the heroes." I sobbed. I looked at my arms and hugged my burning flesh to my chest.

"Oh my god. Keigo," he reached his arms to me but I fell off the couch in order to move away from him. I didn't want to be burned anymore. "Baby I'm so sorry. I thought you were someone trying to be you or something..." He moved onto the ground and held out his arms. I looked him over, deciding if he would hurt me or not. I slowly crawled over to him and curled up in his lap. "Please forgive me. I would never hurt you on purpose. I love you so much baby." I looked up at him and he leaned down to kiss me. "Why didn't you just tell me in the first place? I could help you convince the league to bring you in."

"Because I figured that you would want me to be a villain. I mean, no villain really wants to date a fucking hero." I hid my face with my wings and he just hugged me.

"I love you no matter what job you have. I don't care about that. I care about you alone."
