Flowers For An Old Friend; DabiHawks (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 37; You Alive In There?

*Hawks's POV*

"I said it's you." I screwed my eyes shut, refusing to look him in the eye. The petals started to come out again, but they weren't anywhere near as bad.

He still hasn't said anything.

Shit, shit no.

No I can't loose him agai-

My own thoughts were cut off by a pair of lips on mine.

I was caught off guard, but it didn't take very long until I kissed him back. My arms wrapped around his neck and pushed him to me more. I felt him smirk into it before he gently bit my bottom lip and his tongue glided across it.

I opened my mouth submissively, moving one arm from his neck and went to hold his chin in place. My back arched slightly so that my chest pressed against his. My heart was still racing, it was the only thing I could hear.

He pulled away, panting slightly. He smiled down at me before peaking my cheek.

"Why did you say that sooner, dipshit?" He growled, resting his forehead on mine. I didn't answer, instead letting my eyes flutter shut and my arms stay wrapped around his neck.

"I love you."

"I love you too Birdie."

"I love you more than a friend."

"I know that."

"Do you really this time?" He gave me this confused look, and it was all I could see due to our position. This said position slowly became more and more obvious for me. Shit.

"I have tried to tell you at least three separate times during our childhood, but every single time I did, you just said you loved me too, but you never meant the same thing." I slowly tried to cross my legs so he wouldn't notice.

He hummed, moving his legs so he was still on top of me, but was getting more comfortable. As soon as his knee hit my leg, I pushed him away and sat up.

"I'm going to go check on Aika. She should be sleeping in the living room. You go take a shower." My face flushed, but I nodded. He stood up, streching before heading out of my room.

I didn't think I was that obvious, put apparently he could still tell.

I stood up and went to my closet, my wings folding on my back. I picked out a hoodie and boxers before immediately heading into my bathroom. I locked both doors and discarded all clothing I was wearing.

Looking over at the mirror, and I frowned at my reflection. I saw that the eyeliner I wore had smudged slightly, so I needed to fix that. There was still some dried blood on my face, but that wasn't completely out of the ordinary. My hair was horrible, but other than that I was fine.

I took a few minutes to scrub the blood off my face as well as cleaning the eye liner off of my face. I don't know how easy it would be to clean that in the bath.

I decided to take a bath instead of a shower, so I put down the drain blocker thing and turned on the water. It was cold, but that was perfect.

I sat down in the tub and fanned my wings open so they were semi surrounding me. The water slowly started to soak into the backs of my wings as I closed my eyes and relaxed.

My wings were bent awkwardly, but I ignored it. I just needed a minute to calm down.

Yeah, that's it.

"You alive in there?" I heard after a harsh knock on the door. My eyes snapped open and I jumped, suddenly aware of how colder the water had gotten while I had been asleep. My wings tried to open fully, but I couldn't because of the wall and tub, instead just banging them really hard.

"Yeah." I answered, wrapping my wings back around myself. I scrambled to grab the drain and opened it so that the water would start to drain. It was so cold.

I crawled out of the tub, drying off with a towel before starting to get my clothes on. Picking up the comb, I quickly went through my hair so it wasn't as bad looking.

"Are you sure you are? You've been in there for like, an hour."

"Yeah, I am. Promise." I unlocked both doors and opened the one into my bedroom. Dabi was laid down on my bed with Aika's head laying on his chest. "I thought she was asleep?"

"I thought so too. She wasn't. She was just staring at the wall." His fingers were going through her hair gently.

"Is she sleeping now?" He looked over at her before nodding. He pat the spot beside him and locked eyes with me.

"Yeah. Come on. Get some sleep."

I sighed, climbing onto my bed and laying down beside him. He wrapped one arm around me and pulled me closer to him.

Despite how much sleep I had gotten, I was still extremely tired. With a yawn, I pushed my body against his and closed my eyes.

"I love you Kei."

"I know." I felt him let go of me, but I grabbed onto his arm to stop him. "I love you too."

"That's what I thought." He held me to him again, this time not saying a word.

That was when I noticed how well I could breathe. The small but constant tickle in my chest was gone.

My lips curled up into a smile as I fell asleep.
