Flowers For An Old Friend; DabiHawks (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 41; Like A Little Doll

*Aika's POV*

Ms. Toga took me down into a hallway with a lot of doors. She didn't stop at any until she got to the end.

The room inside Was dark until the lights turned on. There was a bed and a table with drawers, but other than that it was pretty empty.

"Good thing I put everything away earlier, huh?" Ms. Toga started to giggle before going to one of the drawers. I stood near the door. I didn't know what she wanted me to do. "Go on, sit down."

So I did as I was told. I sat down on the floor and watched her take something out of the dresser and turned back to me. She sat down in front of me and put down the stuff she had taken out. Little bands and ribbons, as well as a brush.

"I don't know if Dabi has done your hair, but I would love to." She started to sort things out, giggling the entire time. It was kinda creepy, but I liked it.

"I would love that!"

"Good." She smiled. "Turn around, tell me about yourself."

"Okay." She started to brush through my hair. It wasn't very long, it only went to my shoulders. It was also pink, and I liked it.

"Well, what's your favorite color?"

"Umm, green!"

"Really? Green is a nice color."

"Yeah, my Mama's eyes were green, and my eyes are green, I like green." I heard her laugh behind me. She started to split my hair and started to do something to it.

"Who are your parents?"

"My mom ran away and my dad left me. But now I have two new dads!" She stopped moving my hair.

"And who are they?"

"Well, there's Dabi, and then there's Hawks." I smiled, rocking sideways back and forth. "They're really cool, and I really love them."

Ms. Toga didn't answer me immediately, but started to play with my hair again. She didn't speak to me for a few minutes until she stopped completely.

"Aaaand done." She said, giggling. A phone was held infront of my face with my face in it. "Do you like it?" I nodded.

"Yeah, I love it!" I turned around and gave her a hug. "Thank you! Thank you I love it!" She wrapped her arms around me as well and hugged me back.

"Aw, you're very much welcome." I heard the door open and looked over to it. It was Touya!

"Hey Aika, ready to go home?" He seemed upset. Really upset. I nodded, running over to him and giving him a hug.

"Dabi, I need to talk to you." Ms. Toga said, smiling. She sounded weird though. What's going on?

"About?"

"I can't talk infront of the girl."

"Why not?" I asked, holding onto Touya's leg. Ms. Toga looked over to me with a smile. I felt Touya pay me on the head, so I looked up.

"This isn't something that you need to worry about." He said while running fingers through my hair. "Wait outside this door. Do not leave from that area. If anything at all happens, scream."

Why does he want me to scream though? I frowned, but nodded. It's probably important.

*Dabi's POV*

I closed the door, making sure it was completely shut before turning to Toga.

"What do you want?" I asked her.

"I was talking to Aika, right? And she started to talk about her dads." Shit.

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me about Hawks?" She cooed, leaning backwards onto her table. I frowned, staring down at the floors. "I wouldn't have said anything."

"Forgive me, but I don't really trust you that much." I said sarcastically. I looked back down at the ground. I don't want to do it, I can't do it. I can't.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know."

"Are you going to kill him?"

No, I can't. I can't.

"I can't."

"That's your job."

"I can't, Toga. I can't." She gave me a pittying look, making me feel uncomfortable. She never gave anyone that look. "I refuse to, I can't."

"If you don't, Shigaraki is going to kill you."

"I'll worry about that later, okay?" I needed to leave now.

"I can help-"

"No, I'll figure it out myself." I immediately opened the door before closing it on her. Aika looked up to me with a concerned look.

"Is everything okay?" She asked me as I picked her up.

"I'm fine Aika. Let's get home, okay?" I dropped my voice to a whisper. "Hawks should be home by now." Her frown immediately lightened up and she smiled at me.

***

I took out Hawks's keys and started to unlock the door. When I opened it, I didn't see Hawks in the living room.

"Hawks!" Aika yelled, running down to the bed room. I saw her pause in the doorway, frowning. "He's not home."

"Oh, I guess he's late then." I called over. I turned on the TV and turned it to the news. Nothing important. "Are you hungry?" She shook her head no. Makes sense, she ate lunch late.

We sat on the couch and started to watch something on the TV. Every few minutes, I would check the news on my phone. It was starting to get late and I was starting to worry.

A few hours later, I heard the balcony door open and I felt my heart lift. The door slammed shut causing Aika to jump.

Hawks came down the hall, freezing when he saw us on the couch. He had a few noticable cuts and bruises on his face and his jacket had one rip along one of the sleeves, and he was wet. He looked relieved, but then his expression immediately changed.

And he was fucking pissed.
