Flowers For An Old Friend; DabiHawks (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 42; Where Were You Two!?

*Hawks's POV*

"Hey Eito, have you seen Aika?" I asked as soon as I got into the ice cream parlor. He jumped, but looked up at me with concern. There didn't seem to be anyone here anymore, which made sense. Eito's parlor closed in a few minutes.

"No, have you lost her?"

"My boyfriend was watching her while I was at work. I didn't see them when I got back and their not at his place either. I was thinking that maybe he had took her here." Eito frowned, shaking his head.

"No, I haven't seen Dabi around here either." A girl came out from a back room in the same outfit Eito was in. She looked from me to Eito before looking back down at the ground. "I'll call you if I see anything. I keep an eye out when me and Akari head home too." He jerked his head in the girl's direction. Ah, so that was his daughter.

"Thank you so much."

"Tell me when you find her. Don't want to worry about the girl for too long."

"I will, thank you again Eito." I had been looking for about an hour, but I still couldn't find either of them. I'm sure that Dabi wouldn't just leave her somewhere, at least I'm pretty sure.

"Welcome, but hey, don't worry yourself sick. You'll find her. I'm sure of it." He gave me a kind smile that I returned.

"Yeah, yeah I'll find her. I'll find both of them." I started towards the door. "I'll see you later Eito." I said before taking off.

My heart had been racing for the past hour. I've checked the spots I thought would be more obvious, like the park and the storage house. I even went to the fucking hospital at this point, but I can't find either.

Maybe one of my neighbors saw her? I started to fly as quickly as I could towards my apartment. I needed to find them.

I started to knock on doors giving the same description to each person. A girl with green eyes and pink shoulder length hair with a man. No one saw either of them.

I got towards my floor, still knocking on doors and getting the answers I didn't want. I didn't realize that I had knocked on Eito and Hana's door until she opened it.

"Oh, hey Hawks." Hana muttered looking up at me. "What do you want?"

"I was just wondering if you saw a little girl with pink hair and green eyes walking around. She's about this tall." I explained, holding my hand to a little higher than my waist.

"No. I haven't seen any children today." She paused before she looked straight into my eyes. "But I do have a way for us both to become less stressed?" She offered in a low tone.

"Look, Hana." Don't snap at her. "I don't think you understand what I've been saying. I am not interested at all in you, okay."

"And why not?"

"I'm already with someone."

"I am too, no one needs to know."

"Look, Hana, I'm gay, alright? So just stop." Her eyes widened and she looked down.

"Oh." Then she slammed the door shut. That was great. I rolled my eyes continuing across the rooms.

No surprise, no one saw either of them. And no one saw them when I asked people passing by. No one saw them.

By the time I gave up, it was already midnight. I only gave up because it had started to rain and so I could see. I flew into a few things, and I had heard something rip.

I think the thing that set me off and made me decide to head home was when I felt a branch cut into my cheek and I started to cry. That really shouldn't cause me to cry, so yeah, I really needed to go home.

I landed on the balcony, leaning against the wall for a bit. The rain was still falling and I could feel my hair stick to my forehead. With a sigh, I unlocked my door and went inside, making sure to lock the door.

The TV was on.

A new hope lit in my chest as I started to head to the living room. A wave of relief flooded me as I saw Dabi and Aika laying down on the couch. Dabi smiled at me, but then it all just snapped.

"Where were you two!?" I snapped, throwing my wings open and my arms out. "I've been flying around for the past few hours looking for you guys! I came home, no one was here, there was no note, anything!"

Aika was sitting straight up and she looked like she was about to cry. That's about when I started to feel like a horrible person. She wasn't looking at me, instead down at the couch.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, shaking.

"No, no it's not your fault girlie." I crouched down infront of her to look at her. "You go into the bedroom, okay?" She nodded, hugging me before she ran away.

I looked back up at Dabi, trying my best to not explode at him. He sat there without a word, looking up at me.

"Where, were you two?" I hissed, narrowing my eyes at him. He didn't say anything, so I continued. "I looked everywhere for you two! I couldn't find either of you anywhere." I felt my heart rate quicken as I tried to keep my voice level.

I clenched my jaw, trying to calm down, but I couldn't. What if they had been caught? What if Dabi was arrested and Aika was taken away? What if they were hurt somewhere, and they couldn't get back? What if I lost them for good?

"Do you know how worried I was? Do you know how badly I've been feeling for the past four hours looking? No you don't! And you don't care either!" He probably did care, at least I like to think he did.

"Look, Kei-"

"No! Don't "Kei," me!" I started to pace across the room not looking back at him. "What if one of you got hurt and couldn't get back? What if you did something stupid and got caught? And you didn't even tell me!"

"Neither of us would've gotten hurt. Aika could use her-"

"That's not the point!" I snapped. I could feel my wings twitch in anger. "I trusted you to keep her safe and you didn't even tell me that you were going anywhere! I wasn't expecting you to actually tell me, but I was hoping you would at least leave a note this time."

I bit the inside of my cheek to try and calm down, but I was still shaking. I could feel wet trails go down my face as I yelled. I didn't say anything else, instead I sat down on the couch as far from him as I could. My wings spread around me, keeping me concealed in a cocoon of red.

***

So I might not be able to post the next two days.

If I do, I will probably only be able to write one for Love For Unkind Souls.

Even that might come out late.

Just wanted to warn y'all.

Love y'all.
