Flowers For An Old Friend; DabiHawks (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 39; He's Not Like My Father

*Aika's POV* (Didn't see that coming, did you?)

Hawks wasn't home. Not right now. He had to go to work. So I was home with Touya instead.

Touya doesn't let me eat as much ice cream as Hawks does, but that's okay. I don't eat it a lot anyway.

Me and Touya were watching a show. I didn't really understand what exactly was going on, but I liked it. I didn't watch any TV or ate much ice cream before I came here. I like it here.

Touya had fallen asleep on the couch. So when his phone started to ring I didn't wake him up. He was sleeping. My father never liked it when I woke him up, so they probably wouldn't either. My father would get really mad.

I grabbed his phone and went to the kitchen so he wouldn't wake up. I couldn't read the words really well but I answered the phone.

"Dabi, where are you? Handyman has been trying to contact you for a while!" It was a girl. Who was Dabi? Wait, Hawks calls Touya that sometimes.

"Dabi is asleep right now. I'm Aika!" I told the girl. She didn't speak for a second, but then she did.

"Aww, how old are you?" I like this girl.

"I'm seven."

"Wow, that's so old. Can you do me a favor?"

"Mhm."

"Can you go to Dabi and tell him that Toga said to wake the fuck up before I go over there and make him?" That doesn't sound very nice. Not at all.

"But he's asleep."

"Just wake him up for me, please?" I nodded before going back into the living room again. I stood on the couch. Ms. Toga wanted me to wake him up, so I will. She was really nice.

I nudged his shoulder a bit so he would wake up. Luckily, he did really easily.

"What is it?"

"Ms. Toga said to wake the fuck up before she comes here and makes you." I held the phone back out to him. Ms. Toga was laughing.

Touya's eyes widened at me before he looked down at my hands. He snatched the phone from me before holding it to his ear.

"What do you want, Crazy?" He groaned, standing up. I could hear her talk to him, but I couldn't understand what she was saying.

"I can't, I have to watch this child... No... No she's too young... Fuck him, if he needs to talk to me, he can call me himself... Right, fine. Fine, maybe." Then he hung up. He sighed, tossing his phone onto the couch before sitting back down beside me.

"What was that about?" I asked. "Why did Ms. Toga want you to wake the fuck up?"

"Don't say that word. Hawks would kill me." Hawks wouldn't kill him. He likes him too much.

"Which word?"

"Fuck."

"So don't say fuck?"

"Yeah, that's a bad word."

"Okay."

Touya sighed, running his fingers through his hair.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower. If the phone goes off, ignore it." He patted me on the head before leaving to go into the bedroom.

The phone did go off, so I ignored it the first time. And the second time. But then they kept calling and it was getting annoying.

So I answered it.

"Hello Ms. Toga!" I really liked her, she was nice. But that wasn't who was talking to me.

"Who the fuck is this?"

"That's a bad word." I scolded. The man didn't care.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Aika, who are you?"

"Why do you have Dabi's phone?"

"He's in the shower. I can talk to you until he gets out." I sat down on the couch and wrapped the blanket around me. "How are you Mister?"

He didn't answer, but I heard someone else start to talk. I didn't know them either.

"okay, yeah I'll ask. How do you know Dabi?"

"He saved me. How do you know him?"

"I'm his boss."

"Okay. Hi Dabi's boss, how are you?"

"He's doing great!" I heard another voice. I knew that one.

"Hi Ms. Toga! How are you?"

"I'm doing good, how are you?"

Before I could answer, the phone got taken away from me again. Touya looked at the phone and his face suddenly got pale.

"You better not have said a single thing to her." He growled. It was kinda scary. "Yeah fine... I already said I was, just give me like, thirty minutes."

Again he hung up and looked back at me. He looked upset.

"I thought I told you to ignore the phone." He was upset. I didn't listen to him. "Why didn't you?"

"It kept ringing."

"So you could've kept ignoring it." He was angry. I didn't want him to be angry. I didn't mean for him to be angry at me.

"I'm sorry. Please don't be mad." Don't shake. Don't be afraid. He's not like my father. Touya won't hurt you. He's nicer. He didn't leave you either. He's nicer. So don't cry.

I heard him sigh before he got on his knees and looked at me.

"Hey, I'm not mad. I just don't want them to say something to you." I felt him run his fingers through my hair quickly. "Now, I have to go to work..."

No, don't leave me. Don't leave please don't leave.

"And I can't leave you here alone, so you're going to have to come with me." I get to go with him!

"Do I get to meet Ms. Toga?" He frowned slightly, but nodded. "Yay!"

"Now, you go get ready. We'll leave as soon as you're ready."
