Flowers For An Old Friend; DabiHawks (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 38; Bullcrap

I promise y'all, I love these two.

But I can't keep them happy all the time.

***

*Dabi's POV*

Normally, I don't get much sleep at night. That's normal for me. Even when I'm most comfortable, I can't usually sleep very well.

However I somehow can get sleep when I'm being used as a pillow by two people. By the time I was actually awake enough to understand where exactly I was, I immediately became aware of the two heads that were laid on my stomach and chest.

I couldn't see very well due to the dark, but I could see the back of Keigo's head. With a sigh, I gently tried to move him off my chest, but he jumped awake.

"Who?" He glanced around the room quickly, obviously on edge. His wings immediately spread out and nearly hit me in the face. However, he calmed down when he looked back at me. "Oh, it's just you."

He stood up, stretching out his arms and wings. Some of his joints verbally cracked. Suddenly, his face became grim and panicked.

"What is it?"

"I forgot the fucking groceries in the hallway! They haven't been put up, shit!" He immediately dashed out of the room, causing me to chuckle slightly.

"What's so funny?" Aika grumbled, her head turned to face me.

"Nothing, Hawks's is just being an idiot."

"He's not an idiot!"

"Sure." She scrunched her face up before she sat up and looked away from me. "Aw, are you mad at me now Little Miss?" She didn't answer.

I slowly sat up and moved beside her. She wasn't upset, but when she saw me she frowned.

"Don't be mad."

"Hmph."

"Alright, be that way then." I stood up and walked behind her. I scooped her up and spun her around causing her to laugh. I didn't stop, instead continuing to spin her around until I heard the door open.

"False alarm, they're put up, but I don't remember putting... them... What are you doing?" I paused, holding Aika up as if I was presenting her to the world.

"Nothing." I said, holding Aika under my arm like a box to keep her laughing. "What were you saying about your groceries?" Keigo's eyes glanced from me to Aika and back to me.

"Are you holding her captive?"

"Nope."

"Aika, is he holding you captive?"

She didn't answer, she was still laughing and kicking, trying to get me to let go. She nodded, smiling before I started to tickle her with the arm I had wrapped around her.

"You fucking snitch."

"Dabi!"

"What?"

"Don't fucking swear around the kid!" He immediately covered his mouth with his hands as his face flushed. He gave up, laughing as his face shone bright red.

"Now look what you've done. You just stopped choking on petals, stop dying!" That didn't help. He erupted into more laughter.

I looked down at Aika and saw her hanging limply, staring up at me emotionlessly. It made me feel, weird, whenever she did that.

I put her down, her smile immediately returning to her face.

"You good Birdie?" I asked Kei, who was still laughing. "It really wasn't that funny."
